Chapter 375 Chapter 376: Making Money in Quiet
The grandfather and grandson walked straight towards the new house. The concrete in the yard had already dried, and Zhou Huaian parked the tractor at home after finishing his work.
He opened the gate, and Wangcai and Laifu ran over happily and circled around his feet. He patted the dogs on the head and said, "Go and let them go for a walk and come back."
"Woof woof!" The dogs ran out one after another.
Zhou Huaian started the tractor and drove to the open space in the south. After putting the large stone on the roller, he slowly pressed it across the road.
The old man went to the backyard, unbolted the door, and went to the back hill to see how the herbs were growing.
A thin layer of straw is placed on the Amomum villosum that has just been planted for a few days to prevent the spores from being killed by frost.
The old man took a look around and saw that several hardy herbs had grown and would be harvested next year.
When he came back from touring his grandchildren's land, Zhou Huaian had already parked the tractor in the yard. "Grandpa, let's go see the furniture made by Master Li."
The old man shook his head. "It's not finished yet, what's there to see? After we have dinner, I will go to Fangtian with you to buy a cow."
"Then go back first." Zhou Huaian called back the dogs that were lying on either side of the courtyard gate like two generals, "Take good care of the house. I'll take you up the mountain for a stroll tomorrow."
"Woof woof!" The dog walked into the yard, wagging its tail and lying down obediently.
…
When Yang Chunyan woke up, she saw Zhou Huaian had already gotten up. She looked at the time and it was already seven o'clock. She quickly got dressed and went out. She saw Zhou's mother coming over with a pig food bucket.
"Huifang and Xiuxiang will leave after dinner. When will you and Huai'an leave?"
"Huaian said we should wait until our third brother brings the bike back before we go back."
"Yes!" Zhou's mother walked towards the kitchen carrying the pig food bucket.
"Chunyan." Li Qiuyue came out of the kitchen holding a rice steamer. "The bicycle Huai'an asked Dr. Xiao Wang to help buy last time should have arrived by now, right?"
Yang Chunyan calculated the time and said, "It should not be here yet. Third brother should have news when he goes there this time."
Before they could get the second-hand bicycles, the three big families asked Wang Zhen to help them buy new bicycles, Forever brand 28-inch bicycles.
Zhou Huaian bought a sewing machine, a wall clock, and a radio. He originally wanted to buy a tape recorder but was stopped by Yang Chunyan.
She felt that spending five or six hundred dollars to buy a tape recorder was not worth it at all, and it would be better to buy some gold instead.
"Well! Time to eat!" Li Qiuyue felt a headache when she thought about the burning bottom of the pot when she moved on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
By then, several sisters-in-law will come from their families. Not only will they have tables and chairs, but they will also prepare iron pots, bowls and dishes. By then, they will all be very lively, and my house will be deserted...
Mother Zhou glanced at her, thinking about the situation at her mother's home, and said after a moment's thought: "Qiuyue, you stay at home today, I'll go to town."
Li Qiuyue turned around and said, "If you're not going to the market today, what are you going to do in town?"
Zhou's mother: "I'm not in a hurry. The department store is not closed. I'll go buy something and come back soon."
"Oh!" Li Qiuyue went into the main room and put down the rice steamer, comforting herself by saying, "No matter how bad it is, I still have a good in-law family, which is much better than Hai Li's."
She felt more relaxed as she thought about this, and walked to the door of the main room, "Jia Ming, Jia Liang is late for class."
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Huifang came into the yard carrying some Swiss chard. "You haven't gotten up yet?"
"Wake up, wake up!" Zhou Jiaming and his brother's voices came from the room. They hurriedly put on their clothes and pants and ran out in their slippers. "I'll go to the toilet first."
"Your aunt is gone." Li Qiuyue said slowly.
Zhou Jialiang covered his crotch and turned around, and suddenly thought of a place, "Brother, let's go to the pigpen!"
Zhao Huifang looked at the two of them, neither angry nor amused, "You son of a bitch, can't you get up earlier next time?"
"Got it!" The two brothers clamped their legs together and limped forward.
After breakfast, Zhang Xiuxiang and Zhao Huifang took their children back to their parents' home to report the news. Zhou's mother also changed her clothes and went out to the town to buy things.
Yang Chunyan and Zhou Huaian began to move unimportant belongings to the new house.
"Huaian, move the boxes and cotton wool first. On the day of moving, only move the iron pots and food."
"Yes." Zhou Huaian moved the cotton quilt to the bed, and took down the straw mat and cool mat on top of the bed, and tied them up with hemp rope. "It's just right to use the straw mat and cool mat alternately. With so many beds of cotton quilt, you can never use them all up until you're old."
Yang Chunyan's parents prepared eight beds and eight quilts for her, including eight quilt covers, eight bed sheets, eight pairs of pillows, and eight quilts. "The cotton wool is made from the cotton my mother grew herself!"
"Your family is not bad. When my sister got married, my mother said that the family had no money, so she had to grow cotton to make a few quilts for her, and cut wood in the mountains to make boxes and beds, and gave all the betrothal money sent by the He family to her as a dowry."
"Sister Yumei's dowry is considered good in the village, but there are not many good in-laws like my mother and my husband. Some families will find reasons to dislike you even if you move a mountain of gold to them."
"That's right. My mom and my husband are really good parents-in-law." Zhou Huaian happily carried the bedding out and put it on the chicken bus at the door. "Yan'er, I'll take it over first. You pack up the rest and wait for me to pick it up!"
"Okay!" Yang Chunyan took out the pillowcases and sheets from the cabinet. There was also a toilet bowl and a red lacquered toilet piled up at the head of the bed. Some families no longer prepare these things.
Zhou Huaian ran back and forth several times and finally moved all the things to the new house. He came back and sat on the edge of the bed, "Yan'er, when will the things in the cabinets be moved over?"
"You're not sure if we can take it over now?" Yang Chunyan thought for a moment, looked at him and said, "How about we wait until the second day of the Chinese New Year, take out the things, wrap them in blankets and put them in the cabinet, and then take the cabinet over with us?"
Zhou Huaian nodded after hearing this, "Yes, I will come and get it myself when the time comes!"
"Okay, I've almost finished packing. I'm going to help my third sister-in-law cook."
"Yan'er!" Zhou Huaian called her and asked in a low voice, "How much money have we saved?"
Yang Chunyan calculated, "Adding the money we got from the division of the family last night, there are nine thousand six hundred."
Zhou Huaian looked at her in surprise, "If we didn't buy those things, we would be millionaires!"
"Don't get cocky!" Yang Chunyan glared at him. "Ten thousand yuan household is just an empty title. Making money quietly is the real truth."
Zhou Huaian nodded, "Don't worry, I know that if you have money, don't show it off, and don't be arrogant. Only by being careful can you survive! Doctor Xiao Wang told me the other day that if you have spare money, you can deposit it in the bank to earn interest. It seems that the interest rate is quite high."
Yang Chunyan gave him a thumbs up and said, "Well said! Save the money!"
"No need for those empty words!" Zhou Huaian tilted his head and pointed at his own face with a smile, "Kiss me."
Yang Chunyan gave him a kiss and walked towards the door.
Zhou Huaian lay down happily, hugged the quilt and rolled over, "Oh my god, I thought you were going to strangle me!"
