"Will it have an impact?" Zhou Yian asked.
Zhou Qing clutched his stomach, thinking about how both of his family members were out today. "There's no one home. Mom took my eldest sister on a blind date today."
"Oh." Zhou Yian nodded. "Is there any follow-up with that factory director?"
"No." Zhou Qing shook his head. "After what happened with Dad, there's no hope."
Even if his mother divorced him immediately, the factory director's family would not agree.
"Don't think too much. It's not Dad's fault." There's nothing you can do about things like family relationships. "Dad hasn't done anything wrong."
"Yeah." Zhou Qing nodded. He also knew about this matter, so no matter how others used this matter to attack him, he never blamed his father for it.
A few people chatted as they walked, and ordered some dishes when they arrived at the state-owned restaurant.
This time, Auntie Zhou Yian still remembered the same one as before. Could it be that this Auntie also remembered her, "You are the one in the newspaper."
After all, I had taken photos here before, so it was considered a special one. "Are you back from the countryside?"
"Yes, I came back to celebrate the New Year." Zhou Yian smiled.
"That's right. No matter how hard we work to build our country, we still have to live well with our families." The old lady agreed with this. "Are you still packing up some braised pork today?"
"Yes, but if possible, could you please leave some for us?" Zhou Yian's eyes lit up. Of course, that's possible.
"Okay." The old lady nodded. This was a small matter for her.
This is one thing worth being happy about amidst the bad news today.
Zhou Yian saw people wolfing down the food as it was served, and he felt that Liu Juan and the others were going too far. "Why didn't they leave you some food coupons or something?"
After all, Dad Zhou raised Liu Hong. Although Liu Juan also has a job, she doesn't believe that she didn't take the savings when they divorced. Dad Zhou's salary still accounts for the bulk of the family's income, but now she treats Dad Zhou's son like this.
"Well," Zhou Qing didn't know how to explain, "Dad came back secretly twice and gave me some money."
But all the money was used to pay tuition, and he still wanted to study.
He wanted to make his sister feel at ease, but it obviously didn't work very well. Judging from the way he ate, Zhou Yian obviously couldn't feel at ease. He was quite hungry.
"Second sister, it's really okay. I'm a boy, I can handle it no matter what." Zhou Qing said, "I'm twelve years old now. I plan to sign up to go to the countryside in two years."
Life in the countryside was hard, but at least not many people called him a foreign devil or a spy. He was also a member of the flower-growing family.
"Life in the countryside is not easy either." In fact, going to the countryside is not as easy as imagined. Zhou Yian said that she and Song Songbai have money. If someone goes to the countryside without money and only relies on the work points from the fields to make a living, it will be difficult.
"It's okay, I can endure hardship." Zhou Qing said, "I've asked, and I'm too young to go to the countryside now. When I'm old enough, I'll go."
"Second sister has some money, you can use it to study when the time comes." Zhou Yian said that before Zhou's father went to the countryside, he gave her one thousand in addition to the gold bricks, and another five hundred as a dowry. Now that her brother is so miserable, he must go to school.
"You're already married." Having said that, Zhou Qing glanced at Song Songbai. His second brother-in-law was right in front of him, but he started talking about giving money to his younger brother from his natal family. Is this appropriate?
Zhou Yian didn't think there was anything inappropriate. She was sure that Song Songbai was not such a petty person, and she was not the kind of person who would take everything from her mother's family. She just wanted to help her underage brother who was not doing well now and let him continue his studies.
If he becomes an adult and cannot earn money, and asks his sister to buy a car and a house, then Zhou Yian would be the one who gets taken advantage of if he pays for it.
But Zhou Qing didn't know where the inexplicable self-esteem came from, "Really, no need."
There was no need to emphasize whether it was necessary or not. Zhou Dad was still providing supplies, after all, there were people watching, and it didn't seem very convenient to go to the black market for money. But my brother was fine. If nothing happened, no one would rush into the house to check.
Zhou Yian still made this decision, and Song Songbai had no objection to it.
But unexpectedly, a few days later, when the New Year’s Eve dinner was about to start, Zhou Yian went to visit her father, but her father suddenly stopped her.
The familiar packaging made Zhou Yian a little overwhelmed.
"Our ancestors originally had five dollars," Zhou's father said. "I thought I'd give you two dollars and your brother two dollars. I'm taking one out now to see if there's a way to exchange it for some money."
To be honest, this is too big a sum of money, and Zhou's father didn't dare to exchange it on the black market, which resulted in him not having enough money. Now that his daughter has given the money to her brother, he can't just sit back and do nothing.
In the end, Zhou Yian accepted it. Zhou's father said that he had originally wanted to leave it to his child. "It doesn't matter whether it's divided sooner or later. You can take half of the money you exchanged, and please give the rest to Zhou Qing gradually. Don't give it all at once. I'm afraid Liu Juan will find out."
As for Liu Juan, after seeing Zhou Qing's current condition, Zhou's father no longer has any feelings for her, so she doesn't want a single cent of what he has hidden.
"Okay." Zhou Yian nodded. She wouldn't give her brother less money anyway. Daddy said they should split it equally, and she wouldn't ignore him. But she couldn't exchange it. Since the money would be paid gradually, she had plenty on hand, not to mention Song Songbai's money. It wouldn't be worth it to exchange it now.
"Zhou Qing, he wants to go to the countryside when he reaches the age." Zhou Yian said. She felt that this matter should be reported to Zhou's father.
"Going to the countryside is good," Zhou's father said. After all, life here is not easy now. "Your Gejiazhuang is not bad. I wonder if I can let him go there when the time comes."
