"Alright, alright, stay here. I'll deduct some living expenses for you. Look how embarrassed you are."
Lu Rong nodded immediately, "Okay, deduct five dollars and give me ten dollars a month."
Zhou thought about it and nodded in agreement since he would have to use more water and electricity.
"Okay, as long as he doesn't offend the old lady, everything will be fine."
"No, my son is very well behaved! Thank you, Sister Zhou Xiang."
The boy quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Sister Zhou Xiang."
Seeing that he was thin and weak, and spoke in a low voice, Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me, just stay here and enjoy yourself!"
Then he looked at Lu Rong and asked, "You didn't tell your uncle the address here, did you?"
Lu Rong shook his head. "No, my sister-in-law is a troublemaker. I dare not let them know."
"That's good. If you bring troubles from your family here, I can only drive you away."
Lu Rong nodded repeatedly, "I understand. I will pay attention."
"Your children don't study anymore?"
"When I was in third grade, I had appendectomy surgery and was recuperating at home. That's when I came to work here. Now I can't study in the county town."
"Stay here for now! Take good care of him, he's too thin."
Old Mrs. Liu's things were sorted out and the big sheet was tied up again.
Old Lady Liu finally arrived late, saw the boy, and heard Lu Rong's explanation. She nodded in agreement, believing that orphans and widows are the most bullied.
"Grandma, your things are on the bed in the room. Go and sort them out yourself. I'm going to my third brother's place and I have to go back to the market town this afternoon."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Zhou wanted to open this month's salary and said, "I'll give you 10 yuan directly. I'll deduct the food allowance starting from next month."
Zhou Xiang didn't care that Old Lady Liu knew about Lu Rong's salary. She had already seen how much she could afford, and it was a good deal to hire someone to take care of her for ten dollars.
We pulled the cart to the Water Conservancy Bureau again. Zhou Hua and Zuo Heng had just finished school and were cooking.
Seeing Zhou Xiang coming, he immediately took over the cart from her.
Big Yellow and Little Yellow pounced on Zhou Xiang and said, "Go away. Can you be a little more discerning?"
Big Yellow and Little Yellow hung their heads and returned to their nest.
Zhou Hua pulled the cart into the yard. "It's so heavy, how did you pull it here like this?"
"You call this heavy? Grandma weighs over 100 pounds and I can still pull it."
"Okay, my sister is awesome, she's a strong woman!"
"Of course, I love spinach!"
Zhou Hua stroked her hair and said, "Yes, I have a Popeye at home too."
Zuo Heng was cooking in the kitchen, watching the interaction between the brother and sister in the yard with a smile.
Zhou Xiang pulled out the skateboard bag from the blanket and said, "Your gifts are worth a few hundred yuan. You should know the price. If someone breaks it, you will have to pay the price."
Zhou Hua paused, "Why did you bring us such an expensive gift? It's a waste of money!"
"Well, you're a stingy person too. Open it and take a look before you tell me whether I'm wasting money or not!"
Zhou Hua opened the bag and took out the skateboard. "What is this?"
"It's called skateboarding. It's popular overseas and is a sport."
Zhou wanted to take out the protective gear, explain how to use it, and then tell the third brother the skateboarding skills, and then.
Leaning against the gate frame, he looked at his third brother who was having so much fun playing with resentment. If his eldest brother could also learn to play quickly, then would the whole family lack motor skills?
Tang Min next door saw Zhou Xiang and immediately smiled. "Zhou Xiang, my cousin has agreed to what we talked about last time. If you have someone willing, bring them over and let them meet!"
"Okay, okay! But no matter who I bring, if she doesn't like him, she's not allowed to look for someone else here. I'm not picking for her here, I'm just doing this for your sake. Otherwise, they could easily marry someone with urban household registration in two years."
Tang Min nodded. "Yes, you have several capable people over there. How can you be picky for her? Don't worry, my cousin is not the kind of person who expects too much but lacks the ability."
"That's good. If the person you brought is not good enough, we won't have a next time."
"Yeah! Don't worry, I also hope to be a couple."
Zuo Heng called for dinner, and Zhou Xiang pulled his third brother, who was reluctant to go home, and said, "Hurry up and wash the dishes after dinner. Zuo Heng hasn't even started playing yet!"
Zhou Hua then reluctantly took back the skateboard, "Thank you, sister."
"Don't you mean the cost?"
“It’s money well spent.”
"Change with the wind!"
"Of course. Anything my sister brings is good."
"Flattery!"
The brother and sister went back to the kitchen to eat after playing and fighting, and Zuo Heng served the meal with a smile.
"Eat it quickly! After you finish, I'll try it too."
After dinner, Zhou Hua washed the dishes obediently and tied the protective gear on his left side, all in one go.
Zhou Xiang rubbed his hair angrily. He was so envious and jealous.
"If you bring it to school to play, be careful and don't let it get stolen."
Zhou Hua's eyes sparkled. "Can I take him to school?"
"Haha, bring it! It's a good opportunity to check if your academic performance can stand up to the test!"
Zhou Hua patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem."
"If there was a problem, I wouldn't have taken it back. It just so happens that I didn't have it."
"Then why don't you buy it?"
"Give it to Xinxin." He briefly described the situation at his aunt's home.
Zhou Hua nodded after hearing this and said, "Come back during the holidays and we'll play together."
"Okay, but I'm more looking forward to confiscating yours."
"Don't even think about it. It's impossible."
"Let's wait and see!"
"Okay! Let's wait and see!"
Zuo Heng played for a while, got the hang of it, put away his skateboard, and put on his backpack. "Let's go! Zhou Hua, after a few more days of practice, you can bring it to school."
