Chapter 233: Listen to the head of the family [Little Mosquito Reward Extra 2]

Zhou family.

From the lighted east room came the sound of coins being poured into an iron box.

"How much is this?"

Mother Zhou pointed at a box full of coins and asked.

Chen Xiang quickly replied, "There are exactly ten yuan here, five yuan in this bundle of banknotes, plus what Dad has, the total is seventeen yuan and eighty-three cents."

Zhou's mother was shocked and asked in a low voice, "Did you pack 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes today?"

"Well, there are still..." Chen Xiang paused for a moment, unable to speak, and turned to look at Zhou Dongmeng who was squatting on the ground measuring the iron pipe, and asked, "How many sweet potatoes are left in the car?"

Zhou Dongmeng didn't look up: "More than fifty."

After hearing the number he said, Chen Xiang turned back to her mother-in-law and said, "There aren't many left. In fact, not many are sold in county high schools and department stores. Most are sold at the entrance of movie theaters."

Mother Zhou counted on her fingers and said, "These sweet potatoes at the back are all sold at three cents per pound. When I went to the village to buy them, two hundred pounds of sweet potatoes cost six yuan, and I felt bad about it. But today I earned three times as much..."

She stood up and took out all the money Chen Xiang had earned in the past few days.

Mother Zhou counted and said, "After deducting the cost, I have earned a total of 55 yuan these days. Xiaoxiang, you are really amazing. I will keep this money for you. I will put it under the brick. You can take it yourself if you need it."

As she spoke, she ruffled the soft ends of her daughter-in-law's hair.

Chen Xiang looked up at her and said, "Mom, you don't need to take this money. Keep it for building a small kitchen."

Zhou's father, who was studying the length of the iron pipe with his son, heard what his daughter-in-law said and smiled kindly: "Silly child, it doesn't take that much money to build a house. Hurry up and let your mother hide it."

Chen Xiang blinked: "Really not necessary?"

"No need. If we work quickly, Mengzi and I can finish it in two days." said Zhou's father.

She was shocked: "Dad, are you okay?"

Father Zhou sat up straight and waved his hand to his daughter-in-law, telling her not to worry: "It's okay. The weather has been warmer these days, and my illness has improved a lot. Take this opportunity to move your body. If you don't move, I will become stiff."

Zhou's mother hid the money and kept an integer.

He gave the remaining few dollars to Chen Xiang, telling her to buy whatever she wanted. When he saw her take it, he joked, "Your father just can't sit still. It's not just one or two days."

The woman paused and continued, "However, his illness has improved a lot during this period of time."

Father Zhou smiled and said, "Do you think so too?"

"I take care of you every day, but I don't know whether your illness has improved or worsened! Last year, at the same time, I was blown by the wind, and my illness became serious that night. I was coughing and gasping for breath. Today, your father went outside for a walk and brought me some straw to burn. You see, nothing has happened until now."

Father Zhou nodded: "It's really nothing."

Zhou's mother glared at him and warned him, "Don't get too complacent now that you're getting better. Do you think your breathing sounds the same as others? Take good care of yourself and just direct the building of the house."

The man did not argue, but smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll listen to the head of the family."

Chen Xiang, who was cutting rice dumplings leaves at the side, subconsciously paid attention to Zhou's father's breathing. After listening for a while, she found that her father-in-law's breathing was indeed heavy, hoarse and labored.

It's not as even and smooth as a normal person's.

If you understand a little bit, this is because there are alveoli and inflammation in the lungs, which causes this.
