Seeing that Zhu Hang was reserved, Zhou Yu kept picking up food for him. Zhu Hang smiled at her, secretly shook her hand, and also picked up a piece of food for her with his chopsticks.
Jiang Weifang felt comforted when she saw this. She had almost raised her second child until she was ten years old, when she followed Long Chao into a transfer.
The third child is five years younger than the second child. When he was sent to his mother, he had already left. But when he came back occasionally, he was beaten. He asked him for help, and Long Chao also wanted to stop it.
But he persuaded himself to stop, because the more others tried to stop him, the harder and more violently his mother would beat him.
Thinking about my little niece’s anger and then thinking about my own cowardice at that time, it’s quite hateful.
Jiang Weifang still didn't understand why her mother was so cruel.
He raised the soda bottle and took a sip, swallowing the bitterness in his mouth.
Zhou's mother took another leave in the afternoon and talked a lot with her sister, crying, laughing, bittersweet, until the evening, when Long Chao and others returned to the county town.
Long Xin also took away Zhou Niao's skateboard and protective gear, saying that she would return them to him in a few days.
Zhou Niao nodded, "You have to be careful, I've sprained my ankle before."
"Okay! I'll be careful, thank you, big brother."
"No thanks, no thanks."
Jiang Weifang put down the gifts she brought back, and the family of three left.
Zhou's mother opened the box and found a lot of school supplies and several pieces of silk cloth. She gave the school supplies to her younger daughter and son, asked her older daughter to choose a piece of cloth, and put the rest away.
Zhou Yu shook his head, "Put them all away! Silk isn't suitable for me. We'll talk about it later!"
"Alright!"
Zhou wanted to give the learning supplies to his third brother and Zuo Heng, and Zhou Hua took them indifferently.
"Third brother doesn't like my aunt?" Zhou wanted to be straightforward.
Zhou Hua nodded, "I once asked her for help, but she was unwilling to save me."
Zhou Xiang held his hand. "She was also afraid of Grandma. And when Grandma beat people, the more people pleaded, the harder she hit them. All this is in the past. Don't think about it anymore. Just focus on the future."
"Okay! Don't look back, just move forward."
On August 8, the notice finally arrived. I reported on the 30th and 31st to Class 1, Grade 7, No. 1 Middle School.
Li Li and Xie Zhuang came. Xie Zhuang came to return the skateboard. He was admitted to the town middle school.
Li Li was admitted to No. 1 Middle School as she wished, but was assigned to Class 4 of the first grade.
She cried out that it was unfair, "There are over fifty students in a class, and I can't even get into the hundredth class?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "I don't know. There are so many people in the county, and many have the same total score. Maybe you really aren't in the top 100, or there are too many tied. Once you improve your grades, you can ask to switch classes."
"Forget it! I'd rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. After I improve my grades, I might as well be the king of Class Four!"
"what ever!"
Two days later, Zhou Yizhou came with his girlfriend, "Little sister, I brought your sister-in-law here."
Next to the fat body stood a slightly plump woman. On her chubby face were big double-lidded eyes, a high nose bridge, slightly thick lips, and two dimples at the corners of her mouth. She looked simple and cute.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
The woman blushed, "Hello!"
"Come and sit down, okay? Let's sit in this pavilion."
"Good! This pavilion looks comfortable."
Zhou Xiang took out some soda to treat the two of them. Zhou Yizhou gulped down several mouthfuls before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little sister, I think you should have graduated. Where did you take the exam?"
"County No. 1 Middle School, I'll live in the Water Conservancy Bureau yard from now on. If you have any questions, come find me there."
"Okay! I came today because your sister-in-law finally got a vacation, and also because my dad got promoted to a regular employee."
"That's great! Congratulations!"
"Oh! Why do you think he's trying to climb up? The higher he climbs, the harder it gets for me. I wish I were born in your family."
Zhou wanted to roll his eyes at him, "If you were born in my family, you wouldn't have enough to eat three meals a day, and you would want to work harder than anyone else to climb up the social ladder. You're just a spoiled young master who has never experienced hardship!"
"Okay, you're right, I won't argue with you."
"Let's have lunch here. You haven't eaten at my house yet! And since my sister-in-law is here, you have to stay for dinner."
"Well! I won't leave today if you don't stay. I saw that building, it looks quite impressive. Come with us to take a look!"
"Okay, wait, I'll get the key."
After entering the yard, he told his second sister that there would be guests for lunch, and then he took the key and went out.
After visiting the building, Zhou Yizhou felt extremely proud. "My little sister is amazing! This building is so stylish and magnificent. It's the only one of its kind in the city!"
"Okay, stop flattering me. I know I'm pretty good."
They returned to the Zhou family courtyard, chatting and laughing.
When Zhou Niao saw Zhou Yizhou, he pulled his sister back to his side. Zhou Yizhou felt helpless, but he couldn't argue with him.
At lunch, Zhou Yi ate too much. "Little sister, didn't you say you were not full? I am too full."
"Take it out of context!"
When Zhou Yizhou left, he took away 20 kilograms of watermelon seeds. Zhou wanted to tell him that this time they would only cost 50 cents each.
Zhou Yizhou laughed happily, "Hahaha, those people would be so angry that they would vomit blood when they heard the price. Oh, and that Wang Yibao has been sent to guard the warehouse, hahahaha."
After seeing the two off, Zhou's father asked his daughter in confusion, "Why does he look familiar to me today?"
"Don't you watch the news every day?"
"What do you mean?"
"Experience it yourself!"
Zhou Niao gave his father a shocking blow, "Looks like Mayor Zhou, but too fat."
Father Zhou was so shocked that he was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. "Really, really, is it true?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Didn't you say long ago that he was from a wealthy family?"
"Well, I didn't think that way! Is this about being rich? This is about being rich and powerful!"
"Isn't it the same? He and I are on equal terms, so don't be fawning or flattering. Also, don't show off outside, or I won't let him come to our house."
Father Zhou nodded. "I know, I know. Showing off will only cause trouble. Doing it secretly is like a trump card."
"As long as you can remember and keep your mouth shut, that's all."
"It's a must."
When Zhu Hang picked up Zhou Yu from her night shift again, Zhou wanted to grab her and stop her from sleeping.
"Let's go to the county town. My aunt should be preparing to return."
"I'm going too. Xinxin didn't even come to return my skateboard."
"Okay, let's all go. Mom, go ask for leave! We'll be waiting for you."
"good!"
Zhou's mother picked up a steamed bun, tore it in half, put some pickles in it, and ate it while walking.
The Zhou family started to eat breakfast. Zhou Xiang said to the silent Third Brother, "Third Brother, you have to learn to face it. Go once. If it doesn't work, don't go next time."
Zhou Hua nodded, "Okay, I want to try it too."
Zhou Xiang picked some cucumbers and tomatoes from the yard and brought some to Xinxin to eat.
Eight people, big and small, packed the private tricycle to the brim and rushed to the county town ten kilometers away.
After getting off the bus at Beitou and walking for more than half an hour, Zhou Xiang held his third brother's tightly clenched hand when he entered the back alley of Xinghuo Shopping Mall.
Zhou Hua smiled at her and said, "I'm fine."
The brother and sister were the last to fall behind. Zhou Hua was holding his sister's hand, and the nervousness and discomfort that had just arisen in his heart immediately subsided.
