Old Mrs. Liu shook her head and said nothing.
Zhou wanted to know about her awkward personality and didn't care about her silence. He pointed at Lu Rong and said, "This is the nanny we found for you. You take care of her food and accommodation, and we'll take care of her salary."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Liu looked at Lu Rong. She had just thought that he was an acquaintance of her granddaughter, but now that he was here to take care of her, she should take a closer look at him.
Seeing that her clothes were clean and her hair was neatly combed, he was not afraid of himself and nodded, "Stay!"
Lu Rong was very happy. Just from this one meeting, he could see the old lady's awkward personality. He was afraid that she would not want to stay!
Tian Li was also happy. "Come on, I'll take you back on my bike to check out the rental and bring your clothes and other things over."
"Well, you guys go and come back quickly. We still need to clean up the room here. Bring over the bedding and other things if you have any."
"Okay, okay, I must bring my own bedding."
After the two people left, Zhou Xiang sat next to Old Lady Liu and asked, "He was arguing with you just now. Did he want money from you?"
Seeing that she was determined to get to the bottom of things, Old Lady Liu nodded and said, "He wanted it, but I didn't give it to him. I don't have any money."
"Humph! If we hadn't come, you definitely wouldn't have been able to pull him off. If we didn't give it to him, wouldn't he have snatched it away? That little pup needs to be trained well. He needs to be able to guard against thieves, otherwise it would be a waste of food."
The gloom in Old Lady Liu's heart was dispelled by Zhou Xiang's chattering, and there was still someone worried about her.
"Okay. How much is the nanny's salary?"
"Don't worry about it. I have money and I didn't spend any of my family's money. Don't worry! As long as you behave yourself and don't cause trouble for others, I can easily earn back this little money."
When Old Lady Liu heard this, she reaffirmed her thoughts. But it was okay, at least she was trying to change everything in her eldest daughter's family.
Tian Li carried Lu Rong's bedding on her bicycle, and Lu Rong was carrying a few cloth bags in his hands.
Zhou wanted to take Lu Rong to see a house. She lived in the house that Liu Shan used to live in. It had been emptied, but there was still a lot of garbage.
Lu Rong put down what he was holding and started cleaning the house.
Tian Li wanted to help, but was pulled away by Lu Rong and Zhou Xiang.
"Sister Tian, you don't need to be busy here. It's still early. Go back and spend time with your brother-in-law! Don't worry about Sister Lu."
Lu Rong also persuaded her to go back, "Doctor Tian, I'm sorry to have troubled you today. I will do my best. Food and accommodation are provided here, and the accommodation is in a single room. The conditions are very good."
Tian Li was persuaded to leave by two people.
Lu Rong cleaned very quickly. Zhou Xiang helped carry out a single bed from his grandmother's room and also brought over an old chest of drawers that his second sister used.
"Okay, from now on, you can tidy things up. Eat in the hallway outside. Don't move my grandmother's bed at all. You can move the other furniture around to free up space in the inner room."
Then he showed her the kitchen. "This wall was built later. Find someone to tear it down, and the kitchen will be spacious. Here are 1,000 kilograms of coal tickets and 50 yuan. You need to find a donkey cart to buy coal briquettes. If you don't understand, ask my grandmother. Buying coal is a time-consuming task. You can also spend a few yuan to hire someone to help you."
Lu Rong nodded, "Don't worry, I will ask if I don't understand. If the old lady doesn't know, I will ask someone else."
"Well, be careful. This alley is too deep after all. Give the puppy some training. Liu Shan probably won't dare come here after what happened. Don't worry, my home is at the food station in Xu Town. It's easy to find."
"Okay, I know. I like this job very much. It's light and simple."
"If there's an emergency at home, you can ask for leave. If your child misses you, you can come and stay for a day or two."
Lu Rong nodded excitedly. Temporary workers in the hospital only earn 12 yuan a month, not including food and accommodation. He can earn 15 yuan a month just for taking care of and accompanying an elderly person, which is the highest salary among temporary workers.
After explaining everything to Lu Rong, Zhou Xiang prepared to go home. "Grandma, I'm home now. I'll come to see you next time."
Old Lady Liu nodded and said, "Let's go back!"
After returning to the town, Zhou Xiang began to concentrate on studying.
Father Zhou comes back from shopping early every day and tries not to go out to play on the streets, lest he be tempted to bring people home to drink.
Zhou Yu asked his sister curiously, "Think about it, didn't you say Dad always brings friends home to drink? How come I've never seen him do that?"
"First, he was afraid of affecting my participation in the competition, so he held back. Second, when he bought the TV this time, he was almost tricked into borrowing a large sum of money, and I found out, so he's been quiet. As for how long he can hold back, no one knows."
"What routine?" Zhou Yu was particularly interested in this.
Zhou Xiang glanced at her sideways, "Want to know? Want to trick our dad? Aren't you afraid of eating stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots?"
Zhou Yu smiled awkwardly, "No, I just thought I could supervise our dad."
"Okay! It's okay to tell you."
After Zhou Yu understood this so-called routine, he felt speechless. "Isn't this just a way to save face and suffer in vain? After making a mistake, you can explain the refusal!"
"Haha, my dad won't do that. As long as someone tells him, he will definitely lend it to him, even if that person is his mortal enemy."
Zhou Yu stopped talking. It was tiring to have a father like this!
That day, Zhou Xiang and his elder brother were setting up a watermelon rack by the courtyard wall when Principal Li came to visit with his wife.
Well, it’s the end of April and it’s time for the midterm exams.
"Principal Li, Principal Zhang, please sit in the yard for a while. I'll be almost done here."
Li and Zhang, on the other hand, watched Zhou Xiang and the others work with great interest.
"Zhou Xiang, isn't this a watermelon vine? Why do you ask it to climb up the rack? If the watermelon gets too big, the vine won't be able to support it and will fall down." Zhang Youling couldn't help but ask.
"I know that, but to save space, I can only arrange the watermelon vines on the rack. I can just use a bag to hold the watermelon. Can't you see that my rack is made of thick bamboo poles? I can just tie the bag to the rack."
Principal Li became interested. "Now that you put it that way, it seems like it's really feasible."
"Of course, it doesn't affect anything. Don't cucumbers grow well on the shelves?"
"What kind of bag do you use?"
"I plan to find someone to weave some straw rope bags. If that doesn't work, I'll just buy some straw ropes and weave them myself."
Principal Li nodded, the straw rope bag was indeed a good choice.
Zhou Xiang was busy for about half an hour before he finished work, washed his hands, and made a pot of tea.
I moved a stool and a small bench and sat in the yard with the two of them.
"Are you here to ask me to go back to school for the exam?"
"It's just one of those things. The test is on the 30th, just remember it."
Zhou Xiang nodded and waited for his next words.
Seeing her husband remained silent, Zhang Youling took over the conversation, saying, "Yang Yang wants to come to your house on Sunday to review with you for the provincial competition. He's unsure about his performance, so he wants to come study with you and ask you if he has any questions."
"Okay, come on!"
