When he moved the bedding from home to Zhou Jian, Zhou Taihu called Zhou An into the room, and his mother Tian Guifang was also there.

"What the hell do you think? You're only 16 years old, you really want to raise a little sword? Do you have the ability?"

Zhou Taihu asked him with a frown.

Tian Guifang sat on the edge of the bed, also worried.

Zhou An was silent for a moment, if this question was asked by others, he could give the answer by opening his mouth, just like the answer he gave to Zhou Jian - "We are brothers, we can pull you if we can, nothing else!"

But now his father asked him, and his mother was also worried, so Zhou An felt the need to talk to them about his heart.

After a moment of silence, Zhou An considered the wording, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, I help Zhou Jian, it's not entirely because he's my brother!"

Tian Guifang: "Then what other reasons do you have?"

Zhou An nodded, "Of course, although my grades in school are not good, it doesn't mean that I have no brains!"

Zhou Taihu looked at Zhou An's expression, "Then you tell us what you think!"

The couple looked at each other and were puzzled, what other deep considerations could their 16-year-old son have?

Zhou An: "Dad! Mom! I need a helper! The kind of helper who can be intimate! Zhou Jian is in a very bad situation now, if I can pull him at this time, in the future, I don't say anything else, unless he is a white-eyed wolf like the second uncle, otherwise, the person he is most grateful to in this life will be me! I will definitely be helpful in the future! Don't talk about it far, just talk about the close! He can help me in my snail business! For example, if I cook the snails well and let him open another stall, he can help me sell them for a lot of money! Mom and Dad! Do you think this is the reason?"

Tian Guifang's mouth opened slightly, and Zhou Taihu also raised his eyebrows, neither husband nor wife expected that their son could say such a thing.

"Anzi, do you mean that you say that you raise Xiaojian, but in fact, the real purpose is to let him help you earn money?"

Tian Guifang couldn't believe it, this was the son born in her womb?

Zhou An smiled and nodded.

After Zhou An left, the couple looked at each other, and Tian Guifang sighed: "This child has such a heart?"

Zhou Taihu snorted lightly: "This little species has a lot more heart than Lao Tzu! But it's okay, Lao Tzu has suffered a loss in this life!"

On the way to Zhou Jian's house with the cover, Zhou An had a self-deprecating smile on his face.

That is, in front of his parents, he will confide a little bit of his true thoughts, in front of outsiders, he will not say a word, he is reborn after all, his mind has long lost the innocence of young people, and when considering any problem, he will have a little utilitarianism.

His desire to pull Zhou Jian is real, and his purpose of wanting Zhou Jian to make money for him is also true!

Let's open five-five!

He wasn't that great! Especially with the example of his second uncle in front of him, how could he be as selfless as his father was to think about his brother?

What's more, Zhou Jian is just his cousin.

……

At noon, Zhou An took Zhou Jian home to eat, because the pot in Zhou Jian's house had long been rotten, and the bottom of the pot was trachoma, and there was no way to cook, not to mention, there was nothing to eat on Zhou Jian's side, and there was no firewood.

After lunch, Zhou An rode a battery car and took Zhou Jian to the county town to purchase.

Pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, rice, noodles, etc., but everything he could think of, Zhou An bought some.

Buying and buying, Zhou An suddenly picked up a plastic bucket and asked the price.

Zhou Jian thought he was buying him a bucket, but he didn't think much about it, and he smiled and groaned, and his heart was warm.

As a result, after seeing Zhou An ask the price, he reached out and took four big red buckets, and Zhou Jian finally felt a little wrong, "Big brother, two is enough, right? Two is enough for me to carry water!"

Not to mention Zhou Jian's house, the entire Zhoujia Village has no running water at present, and every household has to carry a bucket to carry water to the big river at the head of the neighboring village.

Zhou An glanced at him with a smile in his eyes, "Who said it was all for you to carry water?"

Zhou Jian was dazed, "That...... What are the other two for?"

Zhou An: "You sell with me for two more days, and then you can open a separate stall! Two stalls will definitely sell more than one, what do you say?"

Zhou Jian was stunned and pointed to the four buckets that Zhou An had just taken, "Big brother, do you mean that two of these four buckets are for me?"

"Yes!"

Zhou An nodded with a smile and didn't look at him again, "Boss!

Zhou Jian stopped talking, feeling that the eldest brother's smile seemed to be a little unfamiliar.

In the afternoon, Zhou An moved the snails raised yesterday to Zhou Jian's house, and handed Zhou Jian a vice, "Come!

Saying that, Zhou An himself had already picked up a snail, and the vise in his hand was clamped, and with a rattle, the tail of the snail was cut to pieces, and his eyes signaled Zhou Jian to hurry up.

Zhou Jian: "......"

He suddenly felt like he had more to do after moving back here than he did with his mother and stepfather.

But there is no way, he has already returned, and he has promised that his eldest brother will help with the work, so he can only suppress the depression in his heart, bow his head and cut snails with Zhou An.

Cutting the tails one by one, the efficiency is really not high, cutting and cutting, Zhou Jian suddenly had a surprise discovery, and said happily: "Hey, big brother, we can't cut much every day with such a cutting method, right? I estimate that if we cut it late, it will be enough for a bucket, so I don't need to set up another stall to sell it, right?"

Zhou Jian is young, and young people generally have a common problem - that is, thin skin!

At home, he accompanied Zhou An to cut the tail of the snail, he had already admitted it, but he didn't want to sell snails in the food street alone, he was embarrassed!

Zhou An chuckled, "You don't have to worry about this! I have already ordered a special snail tail cutting machine on the Internet, a machine that specializes in cutting snail tails! It should arrive in two days, and the efficiency of the machine is definitely much higher than that we can cut with pliers! So, don't worry! When the time comes, the daily snails will definitely be enough for you to open another stall!"

Zhou Jian's surprised smile froze on his face.

The grass and mud horses in my heart were running very happily, and I wanted to say, "Big brother, do you really think I'm worried about this?"

Dejectedly, he continued to cut the snails, and he accepted his fate!

He didn't expect that there was a machine in this world that specialized in cutting the tail of a snail? What bastard had nothing to do and invented? Wouldn't it be good to invent other things?

……

In the evening, Zhou An took Zhou Jian to the riverbank in front of the door, and while taking off the T on his upper body, he said to Zhou Jian, who had not yet realized something: "Take it off! Get off quickly! Get into the water with me, and I will teach you how to touch the mussels in the water! When you learn it, this little matter will be handed over to you in the future!"

"What?"

Zhou Jian was dumbfounded, and there was a bit of resistance in his heart, which had already accepted his fate.
