Zuo Heng nodded. Zhou Xiang was like an older sister. She was worried about him, but he was worried about her!
Only when Zhou Xiang disappeared did Zuo Heng walk into the yard dejectedly, lock the gate, and start to clean up the kitchen. Now that he had his own home, he had to clean it up. He didn't know when Zhou Xiang would come!
Zhou Xiang walked out of the Water Conservancy Bureau, reached into the snakeskin bag, and put everything in the basin into the space study.
When Zhou Xiang appeared at the town's station carrying an empty bag and an empty basin, Ling Ran saw her at first sight. He didn't dare to act impulsively. If she avoided him again, he would not be able to see her for a few days.
I have been waiting here since morning. I haven't seen her for three days. It seems like a century has passed. The ancient saying "a day without seeing you feels like three years" is really true. I watched her greedily as she walked home happily.
What a heartless girl! She was having fun outside for three days, but she didn't know that someone was missing her so much that he was going crazy.
I don’t know how I managed to get through these three days.
Zhou Xiang didn't know that someone was following him. He skipped and jumped towards home, and did not forget to secretly put some fruits and things he had prepared for his family in the basin.
"Mom, I'm back!" A cheerful voice reached Zhou's mother's ears. Zhou's mother felt relieved. It was time to go home today. She came back from get off work early just to wait for her.
"Think about it, you're finally back. You said you'd be back in two days, but it's already been three days. Even your dad is worried." Mother Zhou muttered.
"Mom, I'm sorry I delayed one more day and made you and Dad worry."
"Not only your father and I are worried, Ling Ran has also come to ask about it a few times."
"Ah? Why is he here?" Zhou Xiang felt strange.
"What do you think?" the devil's voice sounded.
Zhou Xiang turned around and saw Ling Ran’s gloomy face.
"Why? I'm not at home, so you can't find anyone to bully, right?"
Ling Ran was furious. Bullying? He couldn't get over this stalk?
"The student ran away and the teacher didn't even know about it. Didn't you need to ask for leave from the teacher?"
"What leave? Do you really think you're my teacher? I've almost learned everything you know. What else can you teach me?"
Ling Ran choked. She was telling the truth. He really had nothing to teach her.
But Zhou Xiang's nonchalant attitude made Ling Ran feel powerless and helpless. He softened his tone and asked, "Do we still need to study E language tomorrow?"
"Yes!" Then he took out three apples and three pears from the snakeskin bag and handed them to him, "Take them back for Uncle Ling and Aunt Ling to eat."
Ling Ran looked at the six fruits in his hand, three of each, and knew he must have one, so he smiled, "Okay, I'm going back. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning."
Ling Ran ran away happily. Zhou Xiang looked at his mother suspiciously, "What's wrong with him? Sometimes he's angry, sometimes happy."
Zhou's mother also didn't understand the little boy's thoughts. Adolescence is the most difficult to guess, so she shook her head.
Zhou Xiang didn't care what the devil was thinking! He pulled his mother into her room, took out a hundred yuan from his pocket, and handed it to Zhou's mother, "Here, put it away. My dad will buy fish and meat when he sees it, and he'll give it to us instead of his friends."
Zhou's mother took it and took a look. There were ten bills. "So many. What did you do? You earned a hundred in three days."
Humph, I made 4,000 yuan in three days! However, it’s not my own ability, it’s the ability of the space.
"Don't worry about it. I won't do anything bad. Put it away!"
Zhou's mother quickly locked the money in the closet and hid it. If Zhou Quan saw it, he would have to bring people home for dinner every day.
The mother and daughter returned to the kitchen to cook dinner. Zhou's mother suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you have any money? Give me this much."
"Yes! You won't have to borrow money from anyone anymore. I can make money, so you won't have to worry about it anymore. But you have to hide the money well."
Zhou's mother nodded, and she did feel less pressured. Her daughter earned a hundred yuan for her in three days, and she still had some money in her hands. Well, her little daughter can slowly get herself up, and the remaining three can change slowly, one by one.
Zhou Xiang saw that his mother seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, her back seemed to straighten, and her heart was full of confidence about the future.
He whispered in Zhou's mother's ear, "Mom, I bought a house in the county this time. It's inside the Water Conservancy Bureau. It's safe! When I start junior high school, I won't live with grandma anymore. I'll also move in with my third brother."
Mother Zhou was stunned when she heard this. Her daughter was so brave. The little girl dared to buy a house, and this trip cost more than a hundred yuan, including the rent. Wouldn’t that be thousands of yuan?
Zhou's mother felt her heartbeat quicken instantly. Seeing her mother's rapid breathing, Zhou Xiang quickly said, "Mom, take a deep breath. Come on, do it with me. Inhale, exhale! Inhale, exhale!"
Mother Zhou followed Zhou Xiang's rhythm and took a few deep breaths before she felt her heartbeat stabilize. Zhou Xiang said worriedly, "Mom, if you continue like this, I won't be able to tell you anything in the future!"
"Mom just can't accept it for the time being. Don't worry, it won't happen anymore. Mom will get used to it slowly. My daughter is so capable. In three days, she earned more money than mom will earn in her entire life." Zhou's mother felt proud.
Zhou Xiang asked, "Can you still accept this? I have something else to say."
"Go ahead, go ahead, mom can bear it." Mother Zhou took a deep breath.
Zhou Xiang briefly recounted his encounter with Zuo Heng and explained that he was now living in the house he had bought.
After hearing this, Zhou's mother's eyes were red. The poor child had lived alone for two years, begging on his knees every day. Her daughter did the right thing. She should help if she could. If she saw the child but didn't help, her conscience would be hurt. In the past, when she didn't have the conditions, she would give him a meal if she saw him. Now that she has the conditions, he can even help find a house. That's good.
"Well, mom supports you, but don't talk about your dad. He's a tough guy. He'd rather eat two meals of meat than raise someone else's child."
Zhou Xiang nodded. His father was a very selfish person and he rarely showed any compassion.
She stood up and took out Ya Shuang, Pechoin, and Sichuan peppercorns from the snakeskin bag and handed them to Zhou's mother. Zhou's mother was very happy to accept them, as they were the thoughtful gifts from her daughter.
The mother and daughter happily cooked dinner. Zhou's father came back. Seeing Zhou Xiang coming back, he asked with concern, "Didn't you say you would be back yesterday?"
"Well, something delayed me, Dad. I bought you a pack of cigarettes." After saying that, he took out a pack of Ashima from the snakeskin bag.
Father Zhou quickly took it and said, "That's good, daughter. You went out and brought back a pack of cigarettes for daddy."
Coax daddy so that he won't make trouble when he doesn't have money for cigarettes.
At night, Zhou entered the space and wanted to sort out the things he had collected during the day. He found some exquisite boxes that he had not been willing to sell in his previous life, and chose a wooden box to place the small yellow croaker.
