Chapter 182 Another Year Has Passed



"You didn't tell us about such a big thing that happened, so we can go over and support you."

"That is, are we still classmates?"

"And your dormitory is really terrible. I even heard people saying bad things about you. Why don't you move to our dormitory? You can always find room there if you squeeze in." The girls stood up for her.

Hearing their words, she felt warm in her heart. Not all of them were targeting her. At least her classmates were all very good people. They studied hard and cared about others. Everyone put their energy into studying.

"Actually, the matter has been resolved by my sister. I'm moving in with her now."

"Your sister?" They stared at her curiously.

"Ahem, my sister is a teacher at Qing University."

"What?" they exclaimed.

"Why are you so surprised?" She blinked in surprise.

"Nothing, just a little shocked." They said honestly, because they had never heard her talk about this matter in more than three months of knowing her.

"There's nothing to be shocked about. Does having a teacher make me less of a human being?"

"Hehe, yes, we are all human beings. We all have two eyes, one nose and one mouth. There is nothing strange about it." The classmates were only slightly shocked and quickly calmed down.

This matter has been resolved, and Lu Duoduo has moved out of the dormitory and into the teachers' building, where the environment is much better than where they live now.

Let’s just pretend they never mentioned what happened just now.

Lu Duoduo attends classes in the classroom every day, goes to the library to study with classmates after class, and returns to the dormitory to continue studying at night. If she encounters something she doesn't understand, she will go to the teacher next door for help, and the teacher will teach her with all his heart.

The more I taught her, the happier I became. This Lu Duoduo was definitely a good talent. She had already mastered two years' worth of knowledge in just one semester. I was happy about her amazing speed and knew that she was talented in this area, so I worked even harder to teach her.

Lu Duoduo made rapid progress and was addicted to studying.

I go home as often as my sister does, that is, on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

Every time they go home, grandma would bring a lot of delicious food to school and let them cook their own meals.

Now that the children have grown up, Miao Cuihua is bored and goes to the street office to get a job gluing matchboxes, earning a few dollars a month.

The old lady is a bit restless, so let her do whatever she wants.

Grandma Zhou is also a person who stays at home. She rides her bicycle to the compound every day and sometimes stays there for a week.

Zhou Tieshan even called Lu Xiangxiang to complain that Grandma Zhou was not home.

She just laughed it off. Grandpa had things to do anyway, so what was wrong with letting Grandma Zhou accompany her grandmother?

Sometimes the two old ladies would just ride their bicycles to play, and they had quite good physical strength.

Recently they have become obsessed with embroidery. I am fiddling with a piece of cloth, embroidering some flowers and grass for them. The clothes I make for them look much more unique.

I have to say that both of them have some talent, and the things they embroider are very beautiful.

The days passed in an orderly manner, ordinary and warm.

The Chinese New Year was coming soon, the school was on vacation, and Lu Xiangxiang also took a long vacation for himself.

Now that she is back at the Zhou family, she is not working as hard as before. It’s not that she is quitting, but that she wants to spend some time with her family.

In the past six months, she only went home once a Sunday, which made her feel a little sorry for the children.

It's a pity for Zhou Ziheng who has to be both a father and a mother. On the 29th day of the lunar year, everyone should take out the furniture and wash and wipe it.

It's just that the weather was so cold that the water froze soon after being poured on it.

I had to put a few braziers nearby so that it wouldn't be so cold and could provide some warmth. Soon the wooden chairs and benches were dry.

The three little ones were also there, wiping here and there with rags made from old clothes, helping a lot.

In response, Zhou Ziheng and Lu Xiangxiang rewarded each of the three children with one dollar.

That’s right, it’s just one dollar. Now the three little ones already know the use of money, and sometimes they even ask them for money to buy things.

After knowing this, Lu Xiangxiang directly established a pocket money system, giving them one dollar every month for them to use as they please.

This amount of pocket money was already a lot in that era, and for this reason they became the envy of other children in school.

Niannian is more calm and steady. He basically keeps all the pocket money he gets in his own coin box. As for Chuchu, he is a little more unconventional. He spends half and keeps the other half. But it is different for Yiyi. She spends it all.

She is said to be a spendthrift, and when she doesn't have enough money she acts like a spoiled child and asks her father for more. As a daughter-slave, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but give her the money. However, Lu Xiangxiang found out about this later and severely criticized the two of them, asking them not to do it again. As for Zhou Ziheng, he was punished by not being allowed to go to her bed for a month.

In the end, he could only sleep in the side room in grievance. He hated that his family had so many houses.

After this incident, the two realized how powerful Lu Xiangxiang was. Although Yiyi still spent all her pocket money, she didn't dare to ask her father or grandmother for money anymore.

As for Zhou Ziheng, he didn't dare to choose between his daughter's pocket money and his wife's bed. The bed was more attractive.

Besides, it’s not like they didn’t give Yiyi pocket money. There’s plenty of food and drinks at home, and there’s not much to spend money on. One dollar is completely enough for Yiyi.

Earning one dollar for helping with housework is a huge sum of money for them. Sanxiao is very happy. She can earn a month's pocket money by working for one day, so she works harder.

It also automatically unlocked the function of massaging the father and mother's backs, and its flattering look made people laugh.

Lu Xiangxiang really enjoyed the children's service, but that's a story for later.

After putting up couplets on New Year’s Eve, chickens and ducks are slaughtered early in the morning. All the chickens for tomorrow are slaughtered directly and placed in the vat outside.

It's freezing outside now, so you don't have to worry about things going bad if you leave them outside. They will be frozen quickly and it will become a natural refrigerator.

I washed my hair in the afternoon. Anyway, I couldn’t wash my hair on the first and second days of the New Year, and it was a hassle to wash my hair in cold weather, so I did it in the afternoon.

After washing their hair and taking a bath, the three little ones changed into the new clothes that Miao Cuihua had made for them this year.

The three of you look at me, and I look at you, it’s so cute.

After giving them a bath, she also took a bath, as did Miao Cuihua and the others. The whole family went to Zhou's house.

That’s right, let’s go to Zhou’s house and have dinner together on New Year’s Eve.

At first Miao Cuihua didn't want to go, and so did Duoduo, but Grandma Zhou insisted on inviting them. This was also the first year they had eaten together after they separated, so of course they wanted to have some fun together.
