Chapter 25: The Family's Surprise

Turning the hill, I saw several of my own blue-tiled houses, mottled on the top of the mountainside.

Zhou Xuan's own house was built by his parents when they got married, and it has been more than ten years now. There are three main rooms in front of it, and there are a few side rooms on the left and right, and the area is quite large.

But because there are Zhou Xuan's parents, sister, and grandparents in the family, the whole family adds up to six people. In addition to many other farm tools and daily necessities, it is becoming more and more crowded now.

So in 98, that is, next year, Zhou Xuan's father began to build a new house.

This time Zhou Xuan came back, hoping to dispel his parents' idea of repairing the house, and when the time comes, find a project and go to the county to do some business, which is much better than farming at home.

Before he got home, Zhou Xuan's native dog ran over and circled around Zhou Xuan.

The earth dog has been in Zhou Xuan's house for several years and is very kind to Zhou Xuan.

"Ouch, rhubarb has grown again. Zhou Xuan beckoned Rhubarb and walked towards the house.

I saw that my grandparents were there, my grandmother was boiling water for cooking, and my grandfather was weaving bamboo baskets.

Seeing that my grandparents were very kind again, I put down the bag and schoolbag in my hand and went to help my grandmother light the fire.

And took out the meat he bought in the county seat, asked his grandmother to cut it, and then fried it.

Grandma saw such a large piece of meat and asked Zhou Xuan how he got the money to buy meat, and Zhou Xuan said that he earned it by writing articles.

Grandma said that you can't waste some money if you make it, and you can keep your living expenses to eat better at school.

Zhou Xuan had to tell his grandmother where he still had one or two thousand, which was completely enough.

This shocked the grandmother, and said that she would wait for Zhou Xuan's parents to come back and ask Zhou Xuan about it.

About half an hour later, my sister returned.

Seeing his sister's little girl, Zhou Xuan hurriedly ran over and picked her up: "Do you miss my brother?"

"Think!" The little girl was already in kindergarten, and she was supposed to get home early in the afternoon, but she went crazy with a few children next door, and her clothes were dirty.

Holding the little girl, Zhou Xuan went to the house to take out the candy he bought, as well as other delicious things, and put them in front of his sister.

"What do you want to eat?"

When my sister saw so much food, she was overjoyed: "Brother is so good! I want this!"

"Haha, I like to eat toffee, my brother will peel it for you. Zhou Xuan picked up the toffee, peeled off the shell, and then gently put it in his sister's mouth.

At this time, Zhou Xuan's father came back and was surprised when he saw Zhou Xuan buying so many things: "Zhou Xuan, do you have the money to buy so much food?"

Dad Zhou's tone was full of questions and anxiety, for fear that Zhou Xuan would do something illegal.

After decades, seeing his father in his memory again, Zhou Xuan almost cried.

But he still held back and explained: "Dad, I bought these things with my own money." How could your son do something bad?"

"Really. You won't lie to me, so what are you doing? How much money did you earn?" Zhou's father was relieved, as long as he didn't do anything bad.

Zhou Xuan took out the remittance slip in his pocket, as well as two magazine sample books, and handed it to Zhou's father: "Dad, your son is a writer now." I submitted an article to the magazine, and after reviewing the magazine, I found that the level was okay. Then I'll pay for the manuscript. You see, this is a remittance slip. ”

Dad Zhou took the list suspiciously, looked at the numbers on it, and said in surprise: "Why are there so many?"

The two remittance slips add up to a total of 4,600 yuan, which is not a small amount of money. You must know that in the previous life, it only cost more than 30,000 yuan to repair the house next year. At this time, Zhou's father and his family still couldn't save less than 4,000 yuan.

"The more you write, the more you earn. Dad, you believe me, there will be more in the future. Zhou Xuan looked at his father's face that was not yet old, and said affectionately.

My father is not yet forty years old, and he doesn't have gray hair on his head. However, after the age of forty, the white hairs on his father's head will grow one by one, which makes Zhou Xuan feel distressed and regrets that he did not honor his parents well in the future.

Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, although Zhou's father was happy, he thought of Zhou Xuan's results and criticized: "You better get your grades up first, how much did you take the last month's exam?"

Hearing Zhou's father ask about the results, Zhou Xuan was embarrassed and said, "Dad, are you asking about September or October?"

"I asked, no, you won't do too badly, don't you dare to say?"

Zhou Xuan smiled: "I really don't know how to say it, I'm afraid that it will scare you." ”

"Hmph, stinky boy. Although you can earn money, if your academic performance does not improve, it is useless to earn more money. ”

Zhou Xuan sighed in his heart, it seems that at this time, his parents still put their academic performance first.

"Dad, I was ranked 250 in the September monthly exam, but in the October monthly exam this week, I took the seventh place in the grade. Well, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"

"You didn't lie to me?" Dad Zhou still didn't believe it.

Zhou Xuan has been a year before, and his grades have not improved, but have become worse and worse. Now in a month, he has suddenly been promoted to seventh in the grade, which is really hard for him to believe.

"It must be true, you will find out when you go to the parent-teacher conference next week, do I need to lie to you?"

"Haha, that's good. You kid is finally studying hard. You've been slumping all year long, and you're scaring us enough. Hearing that Zhou Xuan's grades had really improved, Zhou's father seemed very happy.

Zhou Xuan pointed to the bag of clothes he bought and said, "Dad, I also bought a set of clothes for each of you." Now that the weather is getting cold, you must wear more clothes and don't catch a cold. ”

Hearing that Zhou Xuan bought clothes for them, Zhou's father was very happy, but he still had a straight face: "Why are you spending so much unjust money! We can buy clothes ourselves, you still keep the money and eat better at school." Now it's the third year of junior high school, and you still have to take the physical education exam, and you have to study too hard, so you have to pay attention to your body. ”

Hearing his father's words, Zhou Xuan felt warm in his heart.

After a while, Zhou Xuan's mother also came back, and she was also happy to hear that Zhou Xuan had taken the seventh place in the exam and earned thousands of yuan. Excitedly, he went to the stove to cut bacon and sausages again, and wanted to treat Zhou Xuan well.

Zhou Xuan watched everyone gather around the table, eating and talking. I thought to myself, except for the New Year, the family has not been so happy for a long time.

Thinking that he has the ability to earn money, he must have a good life for his parents, grandparents, and sisters in the future.

After dinner, Zhou Xuan took out the clothes he bought for his family and asked everyone to try them on.

My sister was the happiest here, because she had new clothes to wear, and her brother bought her a lot of snacks that she liked to eat. And Zhou Xuan also said that every month when he came back, he would bring her delicious food, which made his sister very happy.
