Snowflakes fluttered down. Zhou Xiang raised his hand and caught a snowflake, which turned into water as soon as it touched his hand.
Another winter is here, and the final exams will be in half a month.
The noise from the neighbors next door sounds quite pleasant.
"Think about it."
"Uncle Ling?"
"Um!"
"Why are you alone? Where's Aunt Ling?"
"I felt so bad and didn't know who to talk to. I didn't dare tell her."
"Is it the old man?"
"Yes."
"Do you blame me?"
Ling Quan shook his head. "Ranran has already taken the fight personally. I don't blame anyone. I'm just feeling aggrieved and want to talk to someone."
"Okay! I'll accompany you. Please go sit in the main room first."
Zhou Xiang went to the kitchen to make a pot of tea and brought it to the main room. When Zhou's mother saw Ling Quan, she was also surprised.
After chatting with him for a while, she saw her daughter coming in with a teapot, so she got up and went into the inner room.
Ling Quan and his wife have always been inseparable. Their sudden arrival must have something important to do, and they were looking for their little girl.
Ling Quan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed, "When I was a kid, I was naughty and he always criticized and scolded me harshly. When my sister got into trouble, he always helped her clean up the mess, just because my sister looked like mom.
Now that my sister has caused such a big mess, and he himself has been isolated, who can save my sister? I am lucky to have left his side early, otherwise, I would have been asked to cooperate with the investigation.
"Then why are you so upset? Didn't you say it was a blessing? There's a saying in China: Suffering a loss is a blessing!"
Ling Quan smiled in relief, "Yes, you are right, suffering is a blessing. I am now free, which is a blessing."
"Don't you think it through now? You're just being stubborn. Why don't you have dinner here?"
Ling Quan stood up and said, "No, no, I sneaked out during work. If I go back quickly, I'll be in time for the office."
After seeing Ling Quan off, Zhou Xiang once again lamented the impermanence of life. Grandpa Ling's glory, a lifetime of honor, was all gone.
What's it called? Losing one's integrity in old age?
The next day, Zhou Xiang brought Xiao Chunmei to his home again under the pretext of tutoring her. This time, his two younger brothers did not come with him. Xiao's mother felt that it was cold and too many people would cause trouble for the Zhou family.
Zhou's mother built a pile of firewood in the house and opened half of the door. Zhou Xiang tutored Xiao Chunmei very seriously. She ranked 20th in the midterm exam, and he must make sure she could move up a bit by the end of the semester.
It doesn’t matter if she can’t find the key points in memorizing. Just analyze it for her and she will get it once she understands it thoroughly. Soak some dried fruit in water for her to drink to refresh her mind.
"Oh! This water makes me feel refreshed!"
"Right? My special dried fruit."
So, Zhou Hua and Zuo Heng also got a cup of refreshing tea.
The two of them were no longer surprised by the good things Zhou Xiang brought out, so they ate and drank whenever they were given to them.
With the help of the refreshing tea, Xiao Chunmei's endorsement ability has indeed improved.
The final exams were approaching and everyone was nervous, except Zhou Xiang, who was so relaxed that he dozed off with his books in his hands.
Teachers in all subjects never criticized her. As long as she could maintain her grades, it didn’t matter if she snored.
After two tense days of exams, the teacher handed out the winter vacation homework and notified us to collect the report cards on the 17th, and then hurried to correct the test papers.
Xiao Chunmei was very happy. "Zhou Xiang, I can answer many of the questions. They are all the ones you predicted. I will definitely do well in the exam this time."
"That's great. Starting tomorrow, come to my house to do your winter vacation homework. Bring your brother with you. After we get our report cards, we'll go back to the market town."
"good!"
The next day, without waiting for Zhou Hua to pick up the person, Xiao Mingxian rode the bicycle he assembled himself and brought the person over.
Zhou Xiang introduced him and his mother to each other.
He said embarrassedly: "My children always trouble you."
Mother Zhou waved her hand. "It's no trouble, no trouble. The three children are very well-behaved. You taught them well!"
Xiao Mingxian smiled and said, "No, we don't have time to take care of them. They just listen to us on their own."
"Yeah! They're all good kids."
The two families were praising each other, and Xiao Chunmei felt embarrassed. "Dad! Aren't you looking for Zhou Xiang?"
"Yes, yes, I have something to ask her."
Zhou Xiang took him to the pot room and sat down, "Uncle Xiao, just tell me what you want to say."
"I think the aluminum alloy you mentioned is good. I'm planning to make this. It's somewhat related to the technology I have at the factory."
"Have you found the manufacturer and investigated the profits?"
"No, I just saw that many newly built houses are using this new type of doors and windows. I think there is a huge market for it."
"Well! Your next step is to look for factories everywhere and find out how they ship their goods. Also, talk to the people who buy goods near the factories. You can get a lot of inside information. You can get the travel expenses from Wu Haotian, and they will be counted as your investment in the future."
"Okay, after you've explained it to me, many things have a clear direction."
Only after Xiao Ming left did the Xiao siblings relax. Although their father had changed, the feeling of restraint in their hearts still existed.
Homework can be finished quickly at Zhou's house, the learning atmosphere is very good, and Zhou's mother cooks nourishing soup from time to time. The Xiao siblings are all happy to come to Zhou's house.
It was snowing heavily the morning before Xiao Chunmei received her report card. She was worried that it would be inconvenient for her to go home at night, so she planned to leave at noon.
However, after seeing a moving snowman, her curiosity made her sit quietly on the stool.
"Think about it!" the moving snowman spoke.
"Ling Ran?" Zhou wanted to turn around.
"OK!"
Zhou's mother told him to take off his coat quickly. "Hurry, take off your coat and come into the house."
Ling Ran obediently took off his coat covered in thick snow, his eyes fixed on Zhou Xiang.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Xiang saw that his face looked strange, so he asked.
"Think about it." Ling Ran hugged her and buried his head in her neck.
Zhou Xiang felt the wetness and let his hand drop.
"Let's go inside and talk."
She dragged the koala into the inner room, curiosity flashing in Xiao Chunmei's eyes.
Zhou Hua finally understood this time. Ling Ran liked his sister, and he also liked her, so he understood the look in her eyes.
And he, like himself, had to endure it. Looking at Xiao Chunmei's eyes rolling, Zhou Hua could only wish Ling Ran well, thinking that his life would be easier than his.
Zuo Heng also understood. The look in his eyes was the same as the one Zhou Hua gave Xiao Chunmei. It was quite good. Although Ling Ran was a little tough, he was almost obedient to Zhou Xiang.
After seeing her youngest son's behavior in recent times, Zhou's mother naturally understood that Ling Ran had long had his eyes on her little daughter.
However, not to mention that the little girl's mind is not on matters between men and women, even her heart that wants to change is not something she can easily accept anyone, not to mention the gap in their souls!
Entering the inner room, Zhou Xiang kicked the door shut and peeled off the koala on his body. "Okay, you tell me what I want to hear. It will feel better if you tell me."
Ling Ran raised his head and pushed back his tears, "Grandpa may never come out again."
"So serious?"
Ling Ran nodded, "Aunt stole a lot of things from him. Fortunately, he had already retired a long time ago, so it's not a top secret."
