It was a very thick stack, at least the combined salary of Zhang's father and mother was not that thick.
"so much."
Everyone in the family was surprised.
But afterward, grandma still asked Yu Huan to put it away, sighing: "Huan Huan earned this herself, so Huan Huan has to keep it herself."
"No." Yu Huan refused righteously, "I want to save the money to buy a house in the city. Let me keep it for myself. What if I spend it? Grandma, please keep it for me."
"Huanhuan is so sensible, grandma is relieved." Grandma said with a smile.
But Yu Huan refused to give in and insisted that grandma take it. He kept pestering her, leaving grandma with no choice but to accept it.
The old lady went into the house and stuffed the money into the cabinet where bedding was stored, putting it in the innermost and safest place. She thought to herself that she had to keep it well and not lose a penny, and then take it out when her child needed it in the future.

After returning home and resting for a few days, Yu Huan returned to the rhythm of life at home.
Following grandma to eat the first bite of delicious food, seriously teaching Zhang Pingle how to read, greeting all the grandmas who came to visit, and being sent by grandma to deliver things.
The pecans that Yu Huan brought back were very good, with thin skins and large sizes. He also brought back some cooked peanuts that grandma bought from the market. He put them on a large plate and sent it to Old Mrs. Zhao.
The Zhao family's house was renovated again, new bricks were laid in the yard, and a lot of home appliances were added to the house.
The old lady took Yu Huan aside to chat about family matters. Suddenly, Zhao Yang came back with some people and directed them to unload something into the yard.
They were in the room and Zhao Yang couldn't see them.
Yu Huan didn't see him much, but only heard the other party's usual tone of voice, which seemed a bit cold for some reason.
"Grandma, is there any water in the kettle?"
He came in to ask for some water and suddenly saw Yu Huan sitting inside. He froze at the door.
"Yu Huan is here to give you some walnuts." Old Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.
Yu Huan waved at him.
Zhao Yang came back to his senses, nodded, turned around and went out, asking the people who were moving the things to go first and he would go back in the afternoon.
"What's wrong? You're not leaving?" asked Old Mrs. Zhao in confusion.
"I'm not busy, let's take a break." Zhao Yang answered calmly and went to get a basket of fruit.
He used to be very diligent. He would go and watch over the factory even when there was nothing to do. He never took a break. It was obvious that he couldn't walk anymore after seeing Huanhuan.
The old lady saw through it but didn't say anything. She just enjoyed herself secretly and laughed at her grandson's useless behavior.
The old lady asked Yu Huan to eat some fruit, but Yu Huan was too embarrassed to take it. He just talked to her and answered her questions like whether it was better to live in the city or at home.
"They each have their own advantages. There's more food and fun to do in the city, and I have more friends, but I have my grandma and parents at home, so I always want to come back..."
"How can I not think about it? People are like this..."
Zhao Yang washed his hands and came back to listen to them talking while peeling an orange. As soon as the orange peel was torn, the unique fragrance of the orange wafted out along with the sweet and sour aroma of the flesh.
Yu Huan glanced at him unconsciously while speaking.
Zhao Yang peeled the orange cleanly and handed it to Yu Huan: "Try it. Someone came to the village to sell oranges. Grandma picked them. They are big and taste very sweet."
He is so natural.
So Yu Huan just took it, but the mischief in Mrs. Zhao's eyes made Yu Huan feel a little embarrassed.
She ate a petal and then broke off a petal for her grandmother: "Grandma, try it, it's very sweet..."
"I bought it, how could I not know?" Old Mrs. Zhao said proudly. When Yu Huan fed her an orange slice, she said, "You eat it, you eat it." However, her eyebrows frowned as she spoke.
"Ouch! It's so sour..."
Yu Huan lay on the table and laughed.
Zhao Yang looked at her and smiled, and the corners of his lips also curled up.
?
The New Year is coming soon.
Every household buys New Year's goods, such as couplets and firecrackers, and slaughters chickens and sheep.
Zhang Pingle's parents and Yu Huan's uncle and aunt also came back, carrying heavy New Year gifts and buying things for everyone.
Yu Huan has so many new clothes these days that she can’t wear them all.
A white sweater today and an almond yellow jacket tomorrow, fashionable and beautiful.
Aunt said, "Our Huanhuan is like a fairy. Zhao Yang was so stunned by her."
Everyone laughed.
Yu Huan wanted to eat the candied haws in town, and she muttered something about it. Somehow Zhao Yang found out about it, and on the day of the market, he rode his bike over to take her there.
Yu Huan was surprised, and then asked, "Aren't you busy today?"
"I'm just about to buy some New Year's goods." said Zhao Yang.
"So, will it be cold?"
When the temperature drops, going out becomes a test of one's willpower.
"Wear something thicker, I'll block the wind for you from the front," said Zhao Yang.
Yu Huan went back, put on a thick coat, and said hello to his grandmother.
Every household in the town had hung red lanterns, and vendors selling sunflower seeds and candy were everywhere. Despite the cold weather, everyone's face was flushed, and their calls were filled with joy.
Although there are a lot of people, it is not too crowded and the bikes can still be ridden.
Zhao Yang drove Yu Huan through the crowd and found a stall selling candied haws. He asked her, "What kind do you want?"
There are not only hawthorn ones, but also orange segments and yam beans.
But hawthorn is still the most classic.
"this."
Yu Huan pointed, and Zhao Yang said to the stall owner: "Take all the hawthorns."
"There are more than twenty strings left?"
"ah?"
Yu Huan opened his mouth wide, but the stall owner didn't move for a moment.
"Don't you just want to have a bite? It's cold, so you can keep it for a while and eat a few more skewers. There are more people in the family now, so if you can't finish it, you can share it with others."
After Zhao Yang explained to Yu Huan, he asked the stall owner to put the items into paper boxes one by one, and finally wrapped them up in a big bag and carried it in his hand.
"You? You paid..." Yu Huan could hardly keep up with Zhao Yang's pace, "I have money."
She showed him her purse.
"I'll treat you to a meal." Zhao Yang said, "We've been neighbors for so many years, and our relationship is as deep as that of brother and sister."
After saying this, Zhao Yang began to admire himself. He was finally able to calmly say something that seemed intimate.
"Then I'll call you brother from now on?" Yu Huan said readily.
Zhao Yang's composure suddenly disappeared, and he became anxious: "No."
Yu Huan looked at him and laughed.
