Zhao Jingya was very satisfied. Although Zhou Niao lacked intelligence, he was polite, well-behaved, and good at taking care of others. That was great!
Mao Binzhi was also very satisfied. He was not wrong. Zhou Niao had the demeanor of an older brother. His two daughters now had an older brother.
In the evening, Zhou wanted to ask his elder brother how he felt about his day at the Mao family.
Zhou Niao smiled brightly, "Very good, the teacher taught me a new way of painting, the teacher's wife cooks delicious food, and the junior sister is very cute."
"Is your wife not working today?"
"I heard it's a day off today."
"Oh! You have two more sisters now."
"That's the junior sister, you are the younger sister."
Zhou Xiang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Yeah! Then you have to protect them like a brother."
"Okay." Zhou Niao nodded seriously.
Sunday finally arrived, and Zhou Hua rode his bicycle and took his sister to Xiao's house.
Xiao's parents had already gone to work and told their daughter to take care of her younger brother and to study hard when she went to Zhou's house and not just play around. Xiao Chunmei naturally nodded in agreement.
Seeing Zhou Hua and Zhou Xiang, he smiled sheepishly and said, "Come in quickly, your brothers will be ready soon."
"Okay!" Zhou Hua pushed the bicycle into the yard and looked around the clean yard.
"Are you the one who usually cleans the house?"
"Yes, my mom can help when she's free. Sit down! Want some water?"
"No need, stop working, and leave when Xia Guo and Qiu Shi come out."
As they were talking, Xia Guoqiushi came out with his schoolbag on his back, "Sister, it's done."
"Alright! Hurry up and go, Brother Zhou Hua and Sister Zhou Xiang are here to pick you up."
The two children walked obediently to Zhou Hua and Zhou Xiang and called for help.
"Brother Zhou Hua, Sister Zhou Xiang."
“Hey!”
“Hey!”
The five people went out and locked the door. Zhou Hua took Xia Guoqiushi and all the schoolbags and left first, while Zhou Xiang and Xiao Chunmei walked.
"Why did you come over to pick it up? Didn't I say I would bring my brother with me?"
"It's a long way to go, you can walk. Xia Guo and Qiu Shi are too tired to walk, so it would be faster if you come by bike to pick them up."
“I wish I could ride a bike.”
"Did your dad buy it for you?"
"No, my dad said I could make a rack myself and buy a couple of wheel chains or something."
"Hurry up and finish your homework this morning. I'll ask my third brother to teach you how to drive."
"Is it okay? Will it affect his studies?"
"He finished his homework yesterday. Sixth grade is a breeze for him."
"Okay, then I'm going to speed up my studies and try to learn how to ride a bike in the remaining time."
After Zhou Hua dropped off Xiao's two younger brothers, he rode his bike back to pick them up.
"Third brother, take Mei Zi back first. I can walk faster."
"OK."
Xiao Chunmei couldn't refuse the brother and sister, so she had to sit on the back of the bicycle.
Zhou Xiang strode home with a wicked smile.
Zhou Hua rode slowly, chatting as he rode, and before he knew it, he arrived at his destination.
Seeing Zhou Hua pushing his bicycle into the yard, Xiao Chunmei asked, "Aren't you going to pick up Zhou Xiang?"
"No, I don't want to answer it. I think she's almost at the gate of the compound. There's no need."
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Zhou Xiang arrived home. Xiao Chunmei felt a little embarrassed and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have let you take the bus first."
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "Same same, same, let's start studying."
The large eight-immortals table in the main room was pulled to the middle, and everyone, big and small, gathered around the table to do their homework.
Zhou's mother was stewing a sweet soup in the kitchen. Her little daughter taught her how to make it, saying it was good for beauty and skin care.
Xiao Chunmei brought up everything she didn't understand over the past half month and asked Zhou Xiang.
Zhou Hua felt a little regretful. Why didn’t he skip a grade? Otherwise, he should be able to teach her, right?
However, my younger sister just asked me to teach her how to ride a bike in the afternoon. That’s great. My younger sister can help her with her studies, and I can teach her other things.
Zhou's mother brought in a pile of bowls and said, "Come on, clean up the middle of the table and have some sweet soup before continuing to study."
Xia Guoqiushi was familiar with the Zhou family. Although it was his first time visiting the Zhou family, he was not restrained. When he heard the word "sweet soup", he knew it must be sweet.
Xiao Chunmei quickly pushed aside all the books in the middle. She realized that her two younger brothers were craving candy because they heard the word "sweet".
I rubbed their heads and said, "Sit still and wait. Don't get burned."
The two nodded obediently, "Okay!"
Mother Zhou filled each person's bowl with half a large bowl and said, "Drink slowly, there's more."
Zhou Niao picked up Xia Guo's book and started reading, "Sister, come and teach me how to read!"
Zhou Xiang put down the bowl in his hand and walked to his elder brother. He saw that he was opening a text called "Good Friends".
Pointing at the words above, he read slowly: "Good Friends" Yan Liang and I are desk mates and good friends...
After reading it, Zhou wanted to ask his elder brother, "Did Yan Liang do the right thing?"
Zhou Niao nodded, "Yes, you can't copy other people's papers during the exam."
"Yeah! My big brother is getting more and more powerful. Do you recognize all the words here?"
“I know some, and I don’t.”
"Come, I'll teach you."
After teaching his eldest brother, Zhou Xiang gave him a homework book and asked him to write with everyone else, lying on the eight-immortals table.
Zhou Niao was very happy that he could do his reading homework like everyone else. Zhou Hua and Zuo Heng also gave him guidance from time to time.
Zhou Xiang's eyes were slightly red. He thought that he should invite Xiao's younger brother to play with him more often in the future so that his elder brother could read his books and write.
For lunch, Zhou's mother prepared a rich meal with summer fruits and autumn fruits, making it feel like Chinese New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, we didn’t have so many plates at home.
Zhou's mother would pick up food for the two of them from time to time, and there was a special person next to Xiao Chunmei to pick up food, so she didn't have to worry.
After dinner, they sat down to rest for a while, then Zhou Hua took Xiao Chunmei out to learn how to ride a bike.
Zuo Heng and Zhou Niao took Xia Guo and Qiushi to learn skateboarding. It was the first time for the two children to experience such a dangerous and exciting sport, and they screamed while playing.
Seeing Zuo Heng and Zhou Niao skateboarding smoothly, they clapped their hands and praised their big brother for being so awesome.
Zhou Niao felt a little proud that he could be very powerful.
In the evening, they sent the Xiao siblings home. Zhou Xiang took Xia Guo on a bike, Zuo Heng took Qiu Shi on a skateboard, and Zhou Hua took Xiao Chunmei on a skateboard.
The Xiao siblings were sent home with laughter and joy all the way, and their parents had already prepared dinner.
Seeing the children having fun and excitement, a smile also appeared on their faces.
Father Xiao invited Zhou Xiang to come over and talk. "Zhou Xiang, my employer is planning to deduct pension insurance from my salary. I want to do something out of my job. What do you think is a good option for me?"
"Have you really decided?"
"Yeah! I've decided. I'm dragging my feet at the factory, wasting my time, not being able to take care of my family, and not making any money."
"You've just retired from a state-owned enterprise, so you're a bit out of touch with society. You follow others around to do business, and then make decisions.
What I think is that you may be suitable for aluminum materials, aluminum alloy doors and windows, and aluminum alloy anti-theft nets, but you can't understand these just by what I say. You need to watch and learn more.
Following the sales team is considered work, travel expenses are reimbursed, and you also get a salary.
If you think running a business is good, you can keep doing it. If you want to start your own business, get a good mouth, and see the way to do business, I will invest in you to open a store."
