Chapter 213 Back to Town



"I think he can do basic math, speaks clearly, and is quite handsome."

"Just tell me what your purpose is!"

"My niece from my mother's side is the same as him. She's eighteen this year. I think..."

Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it. Although they were injured by fever, if both of them are like this, not only will they not be able to live in the future, but their offspring may also have intellectual problems. So, my eldest brother, let's not consider this matter for the time being."

After paying the money, Zhou Xiang picked up his things and left the supply and marketing cooperative. Wasn't it because he thought his family was rich because he spent a lot of money?

There are only bachelors who cannot get married, but there are no ugly women who cannot get married. As long as you are not ugly and a little stupid, you will have no trouble getting married.

"Let's go, big brother!"

When the brother and sister returned home, Zhou's mother saw the big bag on the back seat and the two cloth bags hanging on the handlebars, so she had no choice but to help carry the things.

Maybe it would be better if I didn't remind her? After I reminded her, she actually remembered to buy it.

When she saw dozens of identical dresses, Zhou's mother tried to control her temper and asked, "Are these for gifts?"

Zhou Xiang chuckled, "Mom, is there anyone you want to give this to? Feel free to give it to anyone."

Seeing her mother raise her hand, she immediately ran out, "I wear one a day, throw one away, and I don't even have to wash it."

Mother Zhou was so angry that she laughed, "You're a spendthrift girl!"

Zhou Niao protected her sister behind her, "Mom won't hit her. Today, my sister was almost beaten by a bad guy."

Zhou's mother immediately became worried, "What's wrong? Niao Niao, tell me."

Zhou Xiang simply went to the kitchen to cook and took the opportunity to feed Dahuang and Xiaohuang.

In the room, after listening to her eldest son, Zhou's mother patted his shoulder with heartache.

"Okay, my sister treats you well, so you should treat me well too."

"Yeah! I know."

However, looking at dozens of dresses, Zhou's mother had a headache choosing the color and style that was suitable for her little girl.

I picked out yellow and green ones, and there were more than a dozen! I thought there were more girls in the supply and marketing cooperative, so I might as well sell them to them at 20 yuan each, just as a promotion for them.

Hearing his mother's thoughts, Zhou Xiang nodded indifferently, "Whatever. If you don't sell enough, take some more and I'll keep a few."

Mother Zhou glared at her. "It's enough for you to just know a few things. Why are you still getting angry with others?"

"Humph! Who told her to be so contemptuous? I'll use my money to kill her."

"Well, you're right!"

"Of course, I'm teaching her that appearances are not to be judged!"

"Alright, alright, don't be so arrogant next time. This is just in the county town. What if someone spots you outside?"

"Remember, I'll be careful when I get out."

Seeing that she listened to him, Zhou's mother felt relieved. There were still many poor people at that time, and many of them could not find a way out. In desperation, many of them went astray. Weren't those people a few days ago one of them?

Although he was forced to retreat by the little girl, he took out the wooden warehouse at night after all. If it was during the day, would the wooden warehouse be visible to others?

At noon, Zuo Heng and Zhou Hua returned home. Seeing the new clothes, they happily thanked Zhou Xiang.

Although Zuo Heng wanted to buy clothes himself, he couldn't choose and couldn't bargain! He just gave the extra money to others.

Zhou Hua said to Zhou Xiang cheerfully, "These clothes look great, thank you, sister!"

Zhou Niao was holding two oil-paper bags. "Brother, Brother Zuo Heng, these are what I bought for you two to eat."

Zuo Heng happily took it and said, "Thank you, big brother!"

Zhou Hua also thanked him: "Thank you! Don't you have any, brother?"

"Yes, my sister bought a lot for me."

Zhou Xiang opened the two cloth bags, which were full of oil paper packages with a small white paper on each, which was the trademark.

"You can pick whatever you want to eat. That's from my brother's heart, and this is from me."

Zhou Hua and Zuo Heng each picked an oil-paper bag.

As Zuo Heng put the oil-paper package into the desk drawer, he said to Zhou Xiang, "Teacher Guo came to see us today and said the things you gave us were too expensive. I told her they were things from home and I didn't spend any money on them, and I felt like she felt unworthy of it."

Zhou understood Teacher Guo’s concerns and thought that his family was still the same as before.

"Don't be so stingy and make her feel like we're burdened. Let her know that the gifts we gave her are just small tokens of our appreciation."

Zuo Heng nodded, "I understand. I will pay attention to my performance."

Zhou's mother called from the kitchen, "Come over for dinner."

"Okay!"

The four people responded in unison.

After washing my hands and sitting down, Zuo Heng was very happy to see that the table was packed with people.

Zhou's mother said to Zhou Hua and Zuo Heng, "We'll be going home this afternoon. You two should study hard. Zuo Heng will go home with Zhou Hua during the summer vacation."

The two nodded, and Zuo Heng felt at ease. Since his aunt had said so herself, he must go.

After the two went to school, Zhou Xiang and his elder brother started to play with the rooster.

There were eleven chickens. Zuo Heng and the third brother didn’t have time to kill or stew them, so they took them all away.

He put it in two snakeskin bags, found a stick, and Zhou Niao carried it.

Zhou Xiang and his mother were carrying dozens of pieces of clothing.

"Oh! I'm so tired!"

"You deserve it. I told you not to act rashly when buying things." Although Zhou's mother said this, she still took a cloth bag from her hand.

In order to make it easier to carry, it was divided into four cloth bags. Zhou Xiang carried the two smaller ones, and Zhou's mother carried the larger one.

Zhou wanted to stick out his tongue and said, "It's because of you guys following me that I can't use the space!"

When he returned to town, Zhou Xiang threw himself on the kang and didn't want to move.

"Hurry up and get ready. I'll take it to work tomorrow!"

Zhou Yu followed his elder brother to tie the chicken. When he heard that it was the delicious chicken they ate that day, Zhou Yu was very enthusiastic.

When I entered the house, I was stunned to see the skirts worn by girls in their teens on the kang.

"Sister, are you finished wearing it?"

"Oh! Stop talking." Zhou Xiang wanted to throw away the skirt in her hand.

After hearing what his mother said, Zhou Yu laughed out loud. His sister just had a bad temper.

Zhou Yu tried them on himself and found every piece beautiful, but it was a pity that he couldn't wear them.

Zhou's mother continued, "I'll take it to work tomorrow and sell it to my colleagues, even if it means I can just make back my investment!"

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, "Do you want to sell it?"

Zhou Xiang immediately perked up after hearing this. "Second sister, don't you want to do business? Go to the market and try these skirts. Buy them for 20 and sell them for 25. If they sell well, I'll take you to get the goods and ask the boss to lower the price. I'll lend you the money from the sales as capital."

"Borrow it? Don't you want me to pay it back?"

"Of course. Do you want to start a business with no capital? You might as well go out and wait for pie to fall from the sky!"

Zhou Xiang pretended to pull up her skirt.

Zhou Yu was anxious, "I borrowed it, and I will return it!"

Seeing this, Zhou's mother stopped caring and decided to give the second daughter some trouble to prevent her from being dissatisfied.

"Sister, give me some advice! We can't just pile them up on a piece of plastic sheet and sell them, right?"

"Okay, I'm tired. Let me rest for a while. I'll give you some advice in the evening."
