Chapter 623: Filial Piety



Zhou Xiang nodded, opened the newspaper, tore it into two halves, wrapped 20 stacks of money in each, and gave the two newspaper rolls to his eldest brother. The other 10 stacks of money disappeared in front of his eldest brother.

Zhou Niao smiled and said, "My sister is really capable. It's safest to leave her here with you."

"Yeah! If you have something valuable that you want to hide, you can come to me."

"Yeah! If there is."

"Then you watch the fire! I'll go look after Jiankang and the others."

"No, just help me watch it for a while, I'll give the money to my parents."

"Okay!"

Father Zhou was a little annoyed when he received a newspaper bag stuffed into his eldest son's arms. Didn't he see that he wanted to make lunch?

Twenty stacks of money wrapped around half a newspaper were a bit small, but Zhou's father didn't care, so the money inside was exposed. What? He looked up, "Boss, what is this?"

"This is my gift to you. Yours is 20,000 yuan, and this is for mom, which is also 20,000 yuan."

Father Zhou's eyes became moist. He had experienced a lot in his life of more than forty years. The couple were enrolled by their father to go to the countryside together. They faced various difficulties when returning to the city, and encountered obstacles at work. He was even diagnosed with lifelong mental retardation by the doctor after his old man had meningitis.

Even though his little girl had earned such a huge fortune, he had never felt like crying like he did now.

"Okay, okay! Daddy accepts it. Thank you, Niao Niao. From now on, you can keep your money for yourself and save it for future use."

Zhou Niao nodded, "Okay!"

Zhou Niao went to the children's room to find her mother. Zhou's father took the money and went upstairs. He came down after a long time with red eyes.

When Zhou's mother received the money, tears welled up in her eyes. "Okay! Our Niao Niao has grown up and can earn money. Mom will take it this time. You will have many other places to spend money in the future. Save it and use it slowly."

"My sister saved it for me!"

Zhou's mother was very relieved, thinking that her younger daughter would definitely make arrangements for her eldest son and make money with money.

Zhou Xiang was exchanged back by his eldest brother and changed into his shoes at the door of the children's room. After Aunt Wang quit her job, the carpet was laid back.

Seeing his mother wiping away tears, he knew the reason. "Well, big brother is rich, and what he gave you is just a drop in the bucket. Don't be too touched."

After hearing this, Zhou's mother didn't know whether to be angry, laugh, or continue to wipe away her tears?

Zhou Xiang lowered his head to tease the two wriggling caterpillars. After wearing too many clothes, it was very difficult for the two little guys to wriggle.

“Ahhhh!”

“Ahhhh!”

Zhou Xiang, who couldn't understand baby talk, picked up the two little ones and sat them down next to the quilt.

After sitting down, the two little guys became quiet and babbled to Zhou Xiang.

Zhou Xiang imitated their babbling and responded. Seeing the interaction between the aunt and nephew, Zhou's mother couldn't help but laugh.

Although what the little girl said was heartless, it was indeed the truth. The eldest brother must have a lot of money, otherwise, the little girl would not allow him to take out 40,000 yuan at once.

Especially, he gave Zhou Quan 20,000 yuan.

Seeing that his mother stopped crying, Zhou Xiang felt relieved. In the past, his mother was poor and busy, and had no time to be sad. Now that life is better, she uses her time to be sentimental and pretentious?

Zhong Xiong and his companions rushed into the Zhou family yard. Fei Yan and Guan Zanxiang wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but were persuaded to leave by Wang Qiao and Ma Zhao.

"You and Tang Mei go to the children's room to look after the kids, and we men will go help."

The two turned and went to the north building.

In the kitchen, after hearing Zhong Xiong's loud voice, Zhu Hang told his wife to stop cutting. "You go to the children's room! Tang Mei and the others must have gone there. Here, Zhong Xiong, Ma Zhao and I can take care of it."

Zhou Yu nodded, put down the kitchen knife, washed his hands, and when he turned around, Zhong Xiong and Ma Zhao had already come in, "Sister-in-law!"

"Hey! I'll leave this to you guys."

"Don't worry!"

Wu Haotian and Wang Qiao walked in and called out to Zhou Yu, "Sister-in-law!"

"Hey! You guys go in and sit down! I'll go accompany Tang Mei and the others."

"good!"

There was indeed braised goose for lunch. Zhou wanted to eat the freshly cooked braised goose. It was delicious, just as delicious as it was three years ago, and just as delicious as it was in his previous life.

Yang Ji three years ago, his previous self, has changed a lot, but the aroma of the food remains.

There is no 30th day in the twelfth lunar month this year, so the 29th day is the 30th day.

Since he had promised Yaya to buy more fireworks, after breakfast, Zhou Xiang took everyone to the kitchenware store that sold fireworks and firecrackers.

The salesperson saw them coming again and said with a smile, "We don't have many fireworks left."

"Then let's buy them all!"

"Okay, okay! I'll go move it out."

The salesperson turned and went into the area behind the shelves that served as a warehouse and moved out the remaining cartons.

Each carton contained half a box of inventory. The salesperson calculated the amount and deducted 2 percent for loss, which amounted to a few dozen dollars, and then took everything away, including the cartons.

Yaya didn't move to the cardboard box. As she walked, she said to Zhou Niao, "Brother, the box you moved contains my things, right?"

Zhou Niao nodded.

Yaya felt relieved and went to her brother again, "Brother, you have mine there too, right?"

Luo Shaoqiang nodded.

Yaya looked for Zhou Hua again. Zhou Hua nodded immediately before she could ask, "It's yours, it's yours. We'll divide it when we get home."

Yaya ran to Zhou Xiang and looked up at her. Zhou Xiang nodded, "We'll divide it up when we get back. The store is sold out this time. If it's gone, it's gone. You have to control it yourself."

Yaya was very happy. As far as she could remember, she had never set off fireworks. She always went with her brother to search through the red paper scraps at other people's doorsteps for duds.

My brother tore off the paper of the dud firecracker layer by layer, found the fuse, and set it off again. If there was no fuse, my brother would pour the yellow stuff inside on the ground, strike a match and throw it on, and a small spark would also fly out.

At that time, she felt happy, and now, she feels even happier. Unfortunately, her grandmother can't see it, so she went to look for her father. She didn't know if there were any fireworks at her father's place.

After returning home, the five people began to divide the loot. After dividing it equally, everyone tacitly picked up the two largest ones and put them in Yaya's cardboard box.

Yaya smiled and said, "Thank you, sisters and brothers."

The custom here on New Year's Eve is to have a sumptuous lunch. Seeing that his parents and Zhu Hang were busy, Zhou Xiang decided to go and help.

Father Zhou waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me, go and have fun!"

Zhou Xiang was happy and relaxed. In the past, she was the one who suffered the most and was the most tired during the Chinese New Year. Now, hehe, the burden has shifted to Zhu Hang and her second sister.

Before the New Year, I had to chop the filling for the vegetarian buns. I had to wash, chop, and squeeze out the water from the dozen or so cabbages, the dozens of radishes, and the soaked vermicelli.

It took a long time to chop up the bowls of chopped green onions, ginger and garlic. In the past, Zhou Xiang was alone and had to spend the whole day on this.

Hehehe, my second sister finally felt afraid. In the first year after returning home, her hands were shaking from chopping them.

After my second sister came back, my father basically assigned all the hard work during the New Year to her, and she was the one who was most afraid of my father.

Now that Zhu Hang is sharing the burden with her, she is finally not afraid of the New Year anymore.

"OK!"
