Zhou Xiang took the opportunity to put thirty eggs in a basin, then sorted everything out and started washing rice. Luo Shaoqiang came back to light the fire, and Yaya also wanted to come in to help.
"Yaya, go and keep grandma company. My brother and I are here."
Zhou Xiang washed the cucumbers and tomatoes, sliced the cucumbers, cut the tomatoes into pieces, and then beat four eggs in a bowl.
Stir-fry cucumber slices and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. After taking them out of the pan, bring the water to a boil and add the rice. After the rice has boiled twice, simmer on low heat.
I beat two more eggs, added water and salt, and steamed them on the rice.
Helping Mrs. Luo in, she sat down at the dining table. "Qiangqiang and Yaya, wash your hands and have dinner."
Everyone sat down at the table. Zhou wanted to serve the egg custard. There was no sesame oil, so he added a few drops of soy sauce!
After serving the rice, he opened the lid of the wok and said, "Eat! I came too late today and there was no meat for sale. We can only eat eggs. These cucumbers and tomatoes were given by a friend."
As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful of egg custard for Mrs. Luo and picked up some scrambled eggs with tomatoes for Yaya and Qiangqiang.
Yaya also picked up a piece of food for Zhou Xiang, "Sister, eat it."
"Okay! Yaya, take care of yourself and eat well!"
Yaya nodded and said, "If I eat well every day, I will grow up quickly and be able to help with things."
"Yes, Yaya, be good and eat!"
Old Mrs. Luo's eyes were red with gratitude. This little girl was so kind. She treated her so attentively even though they were just casual acquaintances.
"Qiangqiang, eat quickly too. Do you have any homework? Do it quickly after you finish eating."
Luo Shaoqiang nodded.
It was a warm and cozy meal that Luo Shaoqiang will remember vividly for the rest of his life.
After dinner, Zhou Xiang washed the dishes and helped Old Mrs. Luo to her room to rest before going to the yard to watch Luo Shaoqiang do his homework.
Yaya stayed by Zhou Xiang's side all the time, so Zhou Xiang simply held her in his arms and sat next to Luo Shaoqiang.
Seeing that Luo Shaoqiang didn't understand something, Zhou Xiang immediately explained it to him and also introduced some higher-level knowledge, telling him to learn to explore actively.
"Qiangqiang, the fruit in that basket was also given by a friend. Remember to eat it and don't let it go bad."
Yaya fell asleep in Zhou's arms. Zhou wanted to carry her to Old Lady Luo's side, put her down, and cover her with a quilt.
And left fifty yuan for Mrs. Luo.
"Grandma Luo, please keep this money. Money gives you confidence. If something happens at home, you don't have to worry. I don't know when I will have time to visit you next time."
Mrs. Luo refused several times, but Zhou Xiang insisted that she accept it. "Don't worry, this isn't from my parents. I earned it myself. Don't worry about it."
Old Mrs. Luo wiped her tears and said, "You are a good child. It is our blessing to meet you."
Zhou Xiang wiped away her tears and said, "We are destined to be together. Now I am leaving. You must take care of yourself and don't be too harsh on yourself with your diet, because this family cannot live without you."
Mrs. Luo nodded with tears in her eyes, "I'll listen to you. Eat well and take good care of your body."
Luo Shaoqiang reluctantly sent Zhou Si to the entrance of the alley and said, "Go back! Don't send me off."
I stopped a donkey cart on the street and went to the home of Grandpa Zhu who was selling baskets.
When Grandpa Zhu and Grandma Zhu saw Zhou Xiang, they warmly welcomed her into the house.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten it. This time I'm going to buy a basket. I'll take as many as I can. Where's Liangliang?"
"Liangliang went out to play after dinner. I really want to thank you. Liangliang's neck is thinner now."
"If you have some spare money, you should take him to the hospital and see what the doctor says. See if there's anything he needs to take supplements for. Don't let him take advantage of his health while he's still young."
Grandpa Zhu nodded. "Yes! I plan to take him there once it's warm enough. He's willing to go too. I'll go find my two younger brothers and ask them to bring the baskets over."
"good!"
Not long after, Grandpa Zhu came in with a few people carrying baskets. This time, because they had hope, every family stocked up a lot of goods.
Both families were very excited. After more than two months, they thought they would no longer come to collect the baskets! Fortunately, the little girl finally came. The family had been working hard for more than two months to weave the baskets.
Several people put down the baskets and went back to pick up more. They couldn't carry all the goods in one go, so they made several trips back and forth and loaded the baskets directly onto the donkey cart.
Zhou Xiang looked at the piled-up donkey cart and said to the cart driver embarrassedly, "I'll give you some extra money. The stuff isn't heavy, but it's hard to drive it because it's so high."
Each family collected 150 baskets. Although they could be stacked high, they still took up most of the handlebar space.
The donkey cart driver's face immediately turned from gloomy to bright.
There was no specific hidden place, so I had to ask the donkey cart driver to unload the goods by the wall of the farmers' market. I didn't dare to use the alleyway of the Finance Bureau.
After adding two dollars, the driver happily drove away.
Looking at the setting sun and seeing that there was no one around, he packed up all the baskets and left quickly.
After finding a restaurant to have dinner, I returned to Zhou Yizhou’s building.
Zhou Yizhou was already waiting, "Little sister, you're back. I've been waiting for a long time."
Zhou Xiang raised an eyebrow, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"What do you want to eat? I came here right after get off work."
"I've eaten." Zhou Xiang felt a little gloating.
"Okay, I'll go home for dinner too. I should be able to make it. Your company has agreed to all your conditions, and you want watermelon too. How much can you get?"
"We can get 20,000 kilograms of each kind of fruit and watermelon. How much do you want?"
Zhou Yizhou's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll take them all! Here, I'll give you the warehouse key. When you get it, send it to the warehouse and I'll call a car to pick it up."
Zhou Yizhou put down the warehouse key and went home for dinner.
Zhou Xiang was left with his mouth hanging open. These people had such a big appetite! Forty thousand pounds! They wanted all of it?
Okay, go fill the basket yourself!
After locking the door, I entered the space warehouse and started loading the baskets. Fortunately, the warehouse was big enough, otherwise, with the watermelons, baskets, and a pile of scrap metal, it would have been too crowded.
We packed 84 baskets of each type of fruit. Each basket can only hold six watermelons, so after 160 baskets, there were still dozens left. That leaves at least five or six thousand kilograms of fruit. Let's keep it all for our family! It'll be several days before the next ripening season!
By the way, I also wanted to give some to Zhou Yizhou, so I packed five baskets of each item.
I went to the warehouse early, put everything out, and then leisurely went to have breakfast.
When I returned to the building, I saw Zhou Yizhou. "So early?"
"Hurry! I can't waste all my time on this."
Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "I understand. You went to the warehouse to pick up the goods this afternoon. Now accompany me to buy things."
"Okay, let's go." Zhou Yizhou didn't care how Zhou Xiang contacted the source of goods overnight, as long as his work task was completed.
When they arrived at the department store, Zhou wanted to go to the wool counter first.
"Comrade, give me two pounds of each color of wool."
"Get out of the way, little girl! Where did you come from? Why are you causing trouble?" the salesperson immediately kicked her out.
