Zhou Xiang pointed to several large wicker baskets on the floor of the room and asked, "How do I get there?"
Zhou Yizhou looked at the ground, his mouth wide open. "You, how did you get it?"
Zhou Xiang waved his hand. "Don't worry about this. I'll leave it to you now. Find a way to get it back! And this, give it to your father. I'm leaving Zhucheng to study in Beijing. This is the last thing I can do for you."
Zhou Yizhou's eyes were red when he heard this, because he met Xiaomei because of a peach, but later Xiaomei gave him much more than he helped her, which was something money could not buy.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Xiang couldn't help but laugh, "What are you doing? It's not like I won't be back. When I come back, I'll come to see you."
"You must remember what you said!"
"Of course I won't forget you, my big brother." Then he handed him a passbook and said, "Please help me withdraw money from this passbook. Take as much as you can. I'll come to see you before the 10th."
Zhou Yizhou thought it was the 200,000 yuan he had given for melon seeds, so he opened it and took a look without thinking. Then he stammered, "Little sister, have you taken all of this?"
Zhou Xiang chuckled, "If you can take out everything, that would be the best. Take as much as you can!"
Zhou Yizhou put away the passbook and patted his chest, "Don't worry, I will try my best to withdraw more for you. Whether you are poor or rich, you must prepare more when you go out."
After saying goodbye to Zhou Yizhou, Zhou Xiang returned to the town carrying a big package.
At night, taking advantage of the moonlight, Zhou Xiang stole a vegetable jar from his mother and worked for a while in the alley east of the South Building.
The next day, I told my mother, "Mom! I buried some good things in the alley east of the South Building. If anything happens and we need them urgently, you can dig them out."
Mother Zhou immediately dragged her little girl to the east alley and said, "Show it to me."
Zhou Xiang pointed to the place in front of the stove where he usually squatted to make a fire. "It's right there. No one would think of it. Don't worry! As long as you don't smash the stove and dig a pond for fun."
Mother Zhou nodded her head and said, "You're so brave. But looking at it, I feel it's much safer than hiding in the kang before."
Hearing this, Zhou Xiang was shocked. "Mom, the passbook won't work. The ground is damp. Even a plastic bag and a jar won't work. It will get moldy and become blurry. The money will be thrown away in vain. The bank won't recognize it."
Mother Zhou glanced at her little girl and said, "Do you think your mother is still as petty as before? I've put the passbook upstairs. No one can find it."
Zhou Xiang chuckled, "It's okay if you can find it, but don't be unable to find yourself."
Mother Zhou shook her head, "Definitely not."
Pulling his mother over, he pointed to the large package she had brought back yesterday and said, "Here are all dried fruits. Put them away and take them upstairs. The first floor is damp and they'll spoil easily. There are also a lot on top of your closet in the county town."
Zhou's mother immediately instructed her, "Move it to your third floor. When I need it, I'll open the door and get it."
Zhou Xiang could only do the hard labor of carrying the large package up to the third floor. After coming down, he found his eldest brother and said, "Brother, I need to go to Zhoujia Village. Do you want to go?"
Zhou Niao shook his head, "My hometown is not fun."
Zhou Xiang didn't force him. After giving him some well water to drink, he gave him a Type 3 fruit before letting him go play by himself.
Looking at the height of the water in the space well, we know that it has not been upgraded yet, and the eldest brother’s intelligence still needs to wait.
I've left the well water outside for a long time, and I wonder if it's still effective? But I have to keep it anyway.
Zhou's father planned to go back to his hometown with his daughter, and Zhou's mother didn't object. "Go ahead, as long as you don't leave Huai County!"
The father and daughter still chartered a car, and Zhou Xiang still carried it on a backpack.
The eldest and second grandfathers were very happy and hurriedly asked people to call the third grandfather and the fifth uncle.
The third cousin also came and asked Zhou Xiang a lot of questions.
Zhou Quan was also chatting excitedly, "Thinking about the four trophies he brought back this time, and the fact that he was noticed by a school in Beijing, he's going to study there."
Great-grandfather and his brothers all laughed happily, "Great, great, our Zhou family has produced a talented person. In the past, this would be like studying at the Imperial Academy. It's great."
At noon, Tiedan came running over with Erya, "Fifth Aunt, Fifth Aunt, are you back?"
Zhou Xiang responded to him from inside the house, "Yes, come in quickly, where have you been playing?"
"I went to the fields over by the North Lake."
Zhou Xiang looked at the mud on his body and laughed at him, "Did you roll in the ground? You're covered in mud."
"No, I went to break some tender corn and was going to bring it to you when you came back."
"Oh! It seems I am in for a treat! Hurry up and cook it. I want to eat it this afternoon."
Tiedan nodded, "It's in the back! Uncle Dagang is carrying it."
Zhou Xiang laughed and said, "Whose field did you break off?"
"Of course, everyone's corn is broken. You eat a few of their corn cobs to show your respect for them."
"Wow! What a talkative mouth you have!"
"I'm not wrong. When they heard it was going to be sent to you, they told me to break it casually."
"Okay! Thank you Tiedan and Erya."
Zhou Gang carried two iron buckets into the yard, which were filled with piles of green corn cobs.
"Think your cousin is really here? That's perfect. You can bring her back with you when you go back."
Fifth uncle waved his hand in disdain and said, "Go see whose peanuts are harvested early and pick some to cook."
"Okay!"
Zhou Gang knew that his father disliked him for not being able to speak, but wasn’t he telling the truth?
Zhou Xiang wanted to laugh. Brother Gang was still so honest.
In the kitchen, the woman who helped with cooking came out to peel the corn husks and cook them to eat as a snack after dinner.
Zhou Xiang secretly asked his third uncle, "How is the eldest uncle?"
Zhou Yidong shook his head. "Not very good. He's been dull and stupid all day. I haven't given him any alcohol since he was taken into custody. But I see he's still almost drunk every day, never sober."
In his previous life, his great uncle didn’t live long after the blind aunt passed away. Zhou Xiang estimated that the day when the blind aunt would come back wouldn’t be too far away.
In the afternoon, Zhou Gang took the father and daughter back to the market town on a tractor, carrying a snakeskin bag of fresh corn cobs and half a bag of fresh peanuts.
Zhou Gang didn't want to stay, so he unloaded his things and left.
On the morning of the 29th, Zhou Xiang went to see Dr. Cao carrying a large cloth bag.
Doctor Cao saw the bag full of dried fruits and smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. "Girl, why did you give me so many at once?"
"I'm going to Beijing to study and won't have time to come back. Tell Brother Xiaosong to change his bankbook to Beijing so that it will be more convenient for me to spend money there."
Doctor Cao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call him later."
When Zhou returned home, she wanted to buy a 25-kilogram plastic wine barrel. When her mother saw it, she asked her why she bought the barrel.
Zhou Xiang just said it was useful and washed it many times before taking it upstairs with confidence.
Feeling that the arrangements were almost complete, she was planning to spend more time with her elder brother and the two little ones, but who knew that Liu Hui would come again.
