Zhang's father's early death made the Zhang family's situation even worse and also increased the burden on his second sister.
This also means that Zhang Likang, who is in his twenties, still hasn't found a wife.
The wife Zhang Lijian married was slightly disabled, and this used up the Zhang family's last fortune.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Zhou's mother patted her shoulder and said, "If you feel sorry for it, if his family encounters difficulties in the future, we will help them if we can. But, as for your second sister, we have done nothing wrong."
Zhou Xiang nodded, that was all he could do.
At noon the next day, Zhou Xiang took out some sweet potato vermicelli, tied them up and put them in the back seat of the car, and pushed the car out.
When we arrived at the Ling family's house, Ling Quan and Dong Yunrong had just got off work and were preparing to cook.
"Oh! Think about it, the girl is here? It's just right for dinner at home."
"No, I'm going home to eat. I was afraid that if I came in the morning, no one would be home. This is the sweet potato vermicelli someone sent me. He made it himself. I brought some over for you."
Ling Quan helped take the vermicelli from the back seat of the car and went into the kitchen.
Dong Yunrong pulled her into the house and said, "It's warm in the house. Sit down and I'll pour you a cup of hot water."
"No, I'm not thirsty. Let's sit together!" Zhou Xiang pulled Dong Yunrong to sit on the sofa. "Aunt Ling, I came here today to ask if Ling Ran is okay. I haven't seen him in a few months."
Hearing this, Dong Yunrong felt a little relieved. Her son had bullied her for nearly five years. Although he tried to be nice to her later, he still caused her a lot of trouble.
"Don't worry, he's fine. He trained with the team during the summer vacation, and then was retained and transferred to a school over there. He hasn't written or called home in the past few months. Your Uncle Ling said he must be in intensive training."
Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. It was most appropriate for him to join the team.
"Then I'll feel relieved."
After a few more small talk, Zhou Xiang returned home. He felt relieved upon hearing the news, yet also inexplicably angry. He was currently being trained and deprived of his freedom, so what about before he joined the team during the summer break? Why didn't he and Zuo Heng know about it? Wasn't it supposed to be a small home for all of them?
I shook my head to get rid of the unhappiness. I still had a lot of things to do and didn't have time to think too much.
January 22nd came in a blink of an eye. Zhou Xiang had just finished two days of final exams. When he returned home with his schoolbag, he saw that all six members of the gang had arrived.
But everyone looked unhappy. "What's going on? Is the sky falling?"
When Wu Haotian saw her coming back, he immediately stood up excitedly, "Think about it, sister, we've been fooled."
Zhou wanted to take off the crossbody and hang it on a nail on the wall, "Tell me in detail."
It turned out that the five of them took Zhou Xiang's letter and went to the Municipal Party Committee to find Zhou Yizhou.
Zhou Yizhou also gave them a letter of introduction. The five people split up, three went to the south to purchase goods, and two went to the city to handle logistics for major units.
When every logistics staff member saw the letter of introduction, they nodded and agreed to bring the goods as soon as they could to prepare for the New Year.
However, when 3,000 kilograms of dried seafood were shipped from the south, we went to the logistics departments of various major units, but they all shook their heads and said that the New Year's goods had already been purchased and were no longer needed.
Zhou Xiang rubbed his chin after hearing this. There's something fishy going on here! When gods fight, mortals suffer.
"Okay, it's no big deal! Everyone's faces are so long, they're longer than a horse's."
Zhong Xiong's eyes turned red. "Sister, those thousands of kilograms of goods cost us all our money, and we still owe the transportation fee! We're all doomed this time."
"Then who did the shopping?"
"Me and Wang Qiao Chen Ou."
"Then who's in charge?"
"I saw those high-end dried sea cucumbers selling for 50 yuan per catty in the city, but only 10 yuan per catty there, so I brought back 500 catties."
"You deserve it! This is your first time doing this business, and you actually threw in over 10,000 yuan at once. You're such a fool!"
I was very brave when I was selling fruits. I sold thousands and tens of thousands of kilograms of fruits. I don’t know if the logistics staff were desperate or trying to give it a try, but they actually believed what a little girl like me said.
Relying on the space, he dared to go trading alone.
Zhong Xiong, firstly, thought that everything would be fine with Zhou Yizhou's identity, and secondly, he was probably stimulated by Zhu Hang. They all thought they were destined to be bachelors, but who would have thought that their eldest brother, at the age of 27, could marry an 18-year-old girl.
So everyone saw hope and wanted to work hard to earn back the money to buy a house and marry a wife.
"You can't get rich overnight. Can you earn all the money in one go? This time, you're at a disadvantage, aren't you?"
"I know I was wrong. I was too reckless. Sister, please think of a solution!"
"Okay, I'll go to the city tomorrow. Where are your goods?"
"I rented a warehouse in the city."
"Who's guarding it?"
"My cousin happened to hear me say that I was going to the south, so he followed me to run errands and broaden his horizons," said Ma Zhao.
Zhou Xiang looked at him and asked, "Have you restored your relationship with your family?"
"Not yet, but this cousin often comes to see me and brings me some things."
"How old?"
"sixteen."
"That's good. I can run errands with you guys. Let's go back and look after the warehouse together. You guys are really careless to let a sixteen-year-old kid look after goods worth over ten thousand yuan."
The six people just thought that this statement was strange, but they couldn't figure out what was strange about it.
Ma Zhao and Zhong Xiong left together. Zhou wanted Wu Haotian to come find him tomorrow morning and go to the city together.
Then he said to Zhu Hang, "Future brother-in-law, I'm going to the city, and I'm leaving this house to you to take care of. Also, I'll pick up my report card on the 26th. If I'm not back, you can go get it for me."
Zhu Hang nodded, "Don't worry! Leave the house to me, it's okay."
Zhou Yu woke up to catch up on his sleep and realized what had happened. He asked his sister worriedly, "Sister, can you deal with those dried seafood?"
But my sister told me that the few times she ran errands for others were to sell New Year's goods.
"It should be fine, don't worry, the sky isn't falling yet."
During dinner, Zhou wanted to tell his parents that he was going to the city to do some business and his return date was uncertain, but it would definitely not be later than the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. He also had to take his grandmother to the closed city to celebrate the New Year.
When Zhou Yu heard that his sister was going to the closed city to celebrate the New Year, he was surprised, "Why did you think of going to your aunt's house to celebrate the New Year?"
"Every year, my aunt has to travel a lot to come back. My uncle-in-law is not in good health, and my cousin is young. It's the same for me to take my grandmother there. If I go to Shaolin Temple for a visit, I will definitely bring you a souvenir."
Zhou Yu nodded, and Zhou Niao's eyes sparkled. "Sister, is Jueyuan still in Shaolin Temple?"
Zhou Xiang could only explain to him what movies and TV series were, what actors were, and what directors were.
"Oh, they are all stories. Jueyuan is gone, but the actor is still here." Zhou Niao felt a little lost.
The next morning, Wu Haotian came to call Zhou Xiang and helped Zhou Xiang carry his luggage.
