"Come, let me show you. Do you know what number it is today?"
"Yes, number 22."
"The next 22nd will be the second day of the second lunar month, which means the first lunar month is over. Can I pick you up that day?"
Zhou Niao flipped through the calendar and counted, "28 days. Okay, I'll wait for you to pick me up."
"Yes, I will definitely come to pick you up!" Zhou Xiang nodded vigorously.
Zhou Yu was touched when he saw his sister coaxing his elder brother like this. "I'll come and pick it up too. I'll help you move the things."
Zhou Xiang looked at his second sister. She seemed a little different from what he remembered. Could it be because he took her home in this life instead of sending her home by her grandmother like in her previous life?
Zhou Niao was very happy when she heard what her eldest sister said, "Big sister, come pick me up too. Okay, both sisters come pick me up together."
Zhou Xiang finally coaxed Zhou Niao to let go, turned around and said to Grandpa, "Then we'll leave."
The old man waved his hand, "Go back! The game is over, leave from me."
Zhou Xiang nodded, and the family of four left the coal construction company.
Seeing that his father was silent, Zhou Xiang asked, "Dad, do you have any ideas about me taking my brothers and sisters home?"
Father Zhou shook his head, "No, it's just that there is no place to stay at home."
Zhou wanted to repeat to his father what he had said to his mother on the way here.
The expression on Zhou's father's face slowed down. "Well, as long as you have a solution."
Zhou Yu heard this and asked in confusion: "Sister, what you said will cost a lot of money. Where will the money come from?"
"Before the New Year, I went to the city with someone to resell New Year's goods. I made a little money, and my kang-building blueprints were taken away by someone. They went out to make money and gave me a commission when they came back. Don't worry, if I didn't have money, how could I dare to bring all of you back at once this time?"
Is my younger sister really that capable? What should I do if I am outdone?
"By the way, we'll take you back. Do you still want to study?"
"I don't want to study anymore. I can't concentrate. I'll just go back and be unemployed!" Zhou Yu quickly shook his head.
"Then when school starts, we'll go to your school to discuss the diploma."
"Good, it's easier to find a job with a diploma."
At the fork in the road, Zhou Xiang stopped and said, "Dad, you go back with Mom and Second Sister first. I need to go to the city to find someone to arrange for Third Brother to be transferred to Fifth Primary School."
"Isn't your third brother going home?" Zhou's father felt strange.
Zhou Yu also looked at his sister.
"Third brother's situation is special, it's not appropriate for him to go home now. I'm afraid he'll overturn your drinking table, so I'd better put him in the county town. As long as he doesn't live with my grandmother, he can live anywhere."
"Okay, okay, you're a person with your own ideas now, and you can make money, so you have the final say."
When I heard my daughter say that my youngest son could overturn the table when I was drinking, I felt uncomfortable all over. Whatever the arrangement is, it's up to me! Anyway, every time I go to my mother-in-law's house or go back to my father's house, I am not welcome. Once a year is still tolerable.
Zhou Xiang walked towards the Water Conservancy Bureau, and Zhou Yu quietly followed his parents home, as long as they were not rushed around.
I'm already eighteen years old, it's time to go back home. I can ask my parents to find me a job, but my grandmother won't care about that.
When Zhou Xiang walked to the gate of the yard, he heard the laughter of Zuo Heng and his third brother.
Pushing open the gate, he asked, "What's so exciting?"
As soon as Zhou Hua saw Zhou Xiang, he came over and handed the wood in his hand to her. "Sister, look, Zuo Heng taught me how to carve this. Does it look like Da Huang?"
Zhou Xiang looked at the wood carving in front of him. He didn't expect Zuo Heng to have such skill. The third brother's comprehension was also good. He could make it look about 20% like the real thing on his first carving.
"Resemble it. You should continue to learn from Zuo Heng and try to carve it very similarly next time."
Zhou Hua nodded vigorously. "Yes! I need to learn it well. But this knife is not good. It's hard to use and it's too big."
Zhou Xiang looked at the kitchen knife and the wood on the ground. What a genius! A kitchen knife can also be used for carving?
Looking at Zuo Heng, Zuo Heng shook his head and said, "I can't use a kitchen knife. I just said it with my mouth. He carved it himself."
Zhou Xiang felt that San Ge was very suitable for carving, because carving could allow him to enter his world, and the people and objects in his world could be expressed through carving.
"When I go to the city tomorrow, I'll see if there are any carving knives for sale and buy them for you two."
Zuo Heng's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Well, buy it if you have it."
"Okay, great."
"Who did you learn carving from?"
Zuo Heng's eyes darkened. "My father is a carpenter and a carver. He taught me how to carve wood since I was a child. The carving knife was lost in the flood."
Zhou Xiang patted his shoulder and said, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I'm much better now. I won't cry when I think about it. When I get a carving knife, I will carve out the images of my father, mother, and sister in my mind."
"Yes, carving it out and putting it in your room is like keeping it with you."
In the evening, when we had prepared dinner and were about to eat, Ling Ran came.
"Have you eaten? If not, sit down and eat with us." Zuo Heng greeted.
Ling Ran sat down and said, "I ate a few bites and left. There were too many people, all the aunts and uncles, and it was too noisy. Our little home is more peaceful."
Zuo Heng couldn't stop smiling. It's great that he likes coming to his place!
After the four of them finished their meal, Zhou wanted to teach his brother how to write. Looking at his brother's standard handwriting, he sighed. "It was grandma who forced him to do it. Who can write according to the printed characters in the book?" No wonder the third brother was so slow at writing.
"Third brother, you can write your characters however you want. It's up to you. Grandma is illiterate. She thinks printed characters are the correct font. If you write in printed characters, people will laugh at you. Do you understand?"
Zhou Hua turned to look at his sister and asked, "Can I really write whatever I want?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes, as long as you write it correctly, the font is up to you."
Zhou Hua no longer wrote in printed form, but used his own cursive form.
Zhou Xiang looked at his third brother's cursive writing and said, "Third brother, you can write like this when you write other things, but when you hand in your homework, the teacher won't be able to understand your handwriting. Primary school students are not allowed to write in cursive.
How about this, if you like to write in cursive, then buy some rice paper and some brushes and ink, and practice your calligraphy in cursive. When you do your homework, switch to a font that everyone can understand, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hua changed the font again. This time he wrote faster, but it was clearly recognizable.
"It would be nice if it were a little neater."
Zhou Hua wrote a little slower this time, and his handwriting was no longer sloppy.
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes, use this font and this speed to write your homework."
Zhou Hua asked, "When are you going to buy paper to practice calligraphy?"
"Let's go buy it tomorrow. You and Zuo Heng can go together and choose whichever you like."
"Great, can I have a few more? Thick ones and thin ones, please."
"Well, it's up to you." After saying that, he took out fifty yuan and handed it to him.
Zhou Hua took it, thought for a moment, and handed it to Zuo Heng. "You take care of it. I often don't know where I put the money."
