Father Zhou pulled out his wine bottle, which probably contained only two ounces of wine. "My daughter, Dad is very proud today. Dad is happy. Would you like to drink with Dad?"
Mother Zhou glared at Father Zhou fiercely, "Alcohol damages the brain. Do you still want your daughter to get a perfect score next time and come back to save your face?"
Father Zhou retracted the wine bottle and poured some into his own bowl. "Drink it by myself, drink it by myself. Think about it, eat the dishes first. The meal will have to wait! Dad bought braised pig's tail, your favorite."
As he said that, he put the food into Zhou Xiang's bowl. Zhou Xiang looked at the braised pig's tail cut into inch-long pieces in the bowl. It was the first time that his father picked up food for him. The man who used to wish he could grow up by eating only the northwest wind, actually picked up food for him, and it was meat at that.
Zhou Xiang, feeling mixed emotions, looked up and asked, "How did you know I like eating pig tails?"
"Dad guessed that you don't eat fat, but you like to eat pig skin, so the only thing without fat is the pig tail."
Zhou Xiang's eyes suddenly turned red. Maybe he had some misunderstanding about his father?
Perhaps the way he called his friends was to attract other people's attention. After all, he was the second child in the family, with older brothers and younger brothers, and was never valued by his grandfather.
On a brighter note, he didn't let himself eat the delicious food on the table because he was afraid that there wouldn't be enough food and he would lose face. After all, he was a person who cared about face.
"Thanks, Dad. I do like pig tails, you guessed it right."
"Then hurry up and eat. It's the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the last market day before the New Year, and they're slaughtering six pigs! I'll buy all the pig tails and braise them for you."
Zhou Xiang tried hard to hold back his tears, "Okay, and I'll also buy some pig liver to braise. I like braised pig liver too."
"Yeah, buy them all."
After finally finishing the meal and clearing the table, Zhou Xiang used the excuse of reading to go back into the house, entered the space, and burst into tears.
How can I hate a father like this?
He was not kind to himself! He remembered his strange habit of eating pig skin instead of fat.
Say he is good to himself! He would rather give the best wine and food to his so-called friends than take a chopstick to eat for himself.
Hate? To be honest, in my past life, I hated both my parents. My anemia was related to my father's stinginess, but my rheumatism was most closely related to my mother.
She never cared what kind of water she used to wash dishes and clothes in winter, and the water from the well was warm.
But what happens after using the well water? The cold wind blows and it feels like the bones in my fingers are frozen.
I can’t tell you these things because my mother in my previous life had a very bad temper. If I tell you, I’ll either be scolded or beaten.
The love and hate in family relationships really make me feel helpless.
Zhou Xiang had cried enough and felt as if he had let go of something in his heart.
Maybe because my life is different, my parents behave differently?
When Zhou's mother saw Zhou Xiang again, she felt that her daughter was a little different, but she couldn't tell what the difference was.
"Mom, what are you looking at? You're going to be late for work." Zhou Xiang reminded.
Mother Zhou looked up at the clock on the wall. Well, there are still ten minutes left.
"I'm leaving. The New Year is almost here. You should take a few days off and don't work too hard." After saying that, he quickly walked out of the house.
Zhou Xiang let out a sigh of relief. His mother's gaze just now made him nervous.
Although my mother knew about my rebirth, I never expressed the hatred I felt towards her and my father.
Since this life is different, let go of the past life and get along again. People often say that family affection can't be cut off. Maybe if the way of getting along is different, what you get will also be different!
In the afternoon, Chen Shi found the small courtyard of Zhou Xiang's house. He took out a snakeskin bag of dried duck feathers. Zhou Xiang opened it and looked through the middle and bottom. Well, they were all dry.
"I haven't bought a scale yet. Wait a minute, I'll go borrow one."
Chen Shi nodded and stayed obediently in the yard.
Zhou Xiang borrowed a beam scale from his neighbor. It weighed one jin and six liang, so he gave him three yuan and twenty cents. "Including the weight of the bag, I didn't remove the skin. This bag is mine!"
Chen Shi nodded, took the money Zhou Xiang handed over, and ran away quickly.
Zhou Xiang really accepted it and dried it for a week, but his mother still didn't believe it. After he took the money back, his mother would definitely not stop him from drying duck and goose feathers.
Zhou wanted to put away the duck feather bags and wash and steam them together when there were more.
In the evening, Zhou Xiang suggested going to the county town again tomorrow, and maybe come back in three or four days.
Zhou's mother knew that her daughter was going there to earn money, but she was a little worried during these days. However, her daughter was an adult at heart, and it was difficult for her to control her, so she had to agree.
Zhou's father had no objection. The last time his daughter came back after three days, she not only brought him cigarettes, but also gave him five dollars. Today she gave him two dollars to buy vegetables.
She must have some money on her, which means her daughter has earned a lot of money. Now that her daughter is studying well and can still make money, she feels very proud. Of course, she agreed to her request.
When Ling Ran came to find the little girl, he heard that she had gone to the county town. He was very angry and thought he was different. It turned out to be just an illusion.
Zhou Xiang calculated how much he could sell in his space. He had harvested vegetables four times, totaling more than 200 kilograms, because he had planted a lot more.
There are so many fruits that we deliberately released a small amount last time because we were afraid that the price would not go up if there were too much.
Well, I should go to the old man’s house first to buy some wicker baskets, and also check on the little boy’s hyperthyroidism.
We need to find out more and change two more units.
In the waiting room of the county station, I saw the fat man Zhou Yizhou again. I don’t know what fate it was, but I met him twice when I went to the city.
Zhou Yizhou spotted Zhou Xiang at a glance and waved to her vigorously, making it impossible for Zhou Xiangxiang to pretend not to see him.
Zhou Xiang sat down next to him, "Brother, what a coincidence."
Zhou Yizhou smiled happily, his eyes narrowed into slits, "Unfortunately, I've been waiting for you here every day for a month."
Zhou Xiang's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was beating fast. Was he exposed?
"Why are you waiting for me? Don't you have to go to work?"
"Go to work! But my latest job is to find you."
After hearing this, Zhou Xiang was thinking about how to escape. No matter how he disguised himself, he couldn't escape the identity of a child. He must have been exposed while selling things in the city.
Sure enough, Zhou Yizhou continued, "You're the one selling the fruit in the city, right? When I heard that it was the little girl who negotiated the business, and there were big peaches, I guessed it was you.
But don't worry, I took the initiative to accept this task and didn't tell anyone that I had seen you here.
I think that since you can get so many delicious fruits, you will definitely not let others know. What if someone takes away your business?
There are many shameless people in the logistics department of those government agencies. When they see that others are doing well, they ask their relatives to intercept their supply and take over. Humph, we are family, right? "
