After Zhou Zixiao read the contents of the letter, he felt a surge of shock and pain in his heart.
He just found out now that their house had been robbed. The last time his mother hung up the phone, she risked her life by secretly selling her job at the factory in order to raise money for him, but was discovered. His father spent a lot of money and even used his uncle's connections to get his mother out.
At the end of the letter, his mother warned him not to spend money on others anymore and asked him to spend the money he had frugally.
After reading the letter, Zhou Zixiao was a little confused. He knew that his mother's identity was not simple, so he spent money without restraint.
His house was robbed but he didn't dare call the police. Could it be that those damn treasures that must have been stolen were stolen?
If this was true, then he believed that his family really had no extra money.
He lowered his head and looked at the two hundred yuan in the envelope again, feeling very complicated.
His father is a factory director and earns only more than 80 yuan a month, and his mother is a clerk in the street office and earns more than 50 yuan a month. This amount of money is definitely enough for an ordinary family, but he knows that the monthly expenses of these children in their family are almost only a few yuan.
It is very difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
"Brother Zixiao, it's time to eat."
Chi Junjie shouted outside.
Zhou Zixiao then realized how sad he was. He simply couldn't accept that their family was going to fall back into poverty.
He began to regret going to the countryside.
He couldn't help but think seriously whether he really needed to stay here to pursue Chi Yiyi?
Grunt.
Zhou Zixiao touched his hungry stomach and rubbed his face in frustration.
Get up, let’s go out to eat first.

The next morning, everyone went to work on time and gathered at the rice fields.
We have to hold a meeting first because several village cadres want to announce an important decision.
Zheng Abao suddenly said, "Sister Yiyi, I'm sorry I can't stay in the same group with you any more. Last night my father and the other team leaders in the village held a meeting and confirmed that they would hold a rice harvesting competition. The participating teams will receive corresponding prizes, and I want to win a prize, too."
Chi Yiyi saw that the girl in front of her seemed to be in trouble, so she said, "Abao, are you in urgent need of money? You can tell me what you want."
Zheng Abao was hesitant to speak, she knew Chi Yiyi looked like a wealthy person, but she didn't even want to implicate her family, so how could she ask for money from a friend?
"No, sister Yiyi, don't worry, when the time comes and I have no other options, I will definitely ask you for help."
"T."
Chi Yiyi didn't think much about it. As long as Zheng Abao didn't say anything, she would give her enough respect.
At this time, Zheng Tao also announced the team list. Except for adults and children who were not required to participate, all adults in the village had to form teams to harvest rice. Accountant Sun would count the results. There were five teams in total. The first to third place would be rewarded. If the last place was, not only would the team be criticized but also have their wages deducted, which meant that even when the village slaughtered pigs and meat, they would have less food.
However, when Chi Yiyi turned around, she found that some of the older children in the village had already run to form teams with other adults.
She herself felt a little unhappy.
As a fellow educated youth, someone from the educated youth group soon began to look at Chi Yiyi with envy and jealousy.
Chi Bilian lowered her head and whispered in Li Yumei's ear, "A tube of shampoo."
