Chapter 3 Five Hundred Dollars
That day, until the evening, her six-year-old third sister Zhou Xiaoxian trembled with a bowl and spoon and fed her a few mouthfuls of water, so that her moistened throat could continue to speak, and Zhou Xiaoliu cried with all her might. This cry finally attracted Zhou's mother's attention, and then, a ** was stuffed into her mouth, she sucked desperately, and after a while, milk flowed out and into her stomach. She was not starved to death. But in the same way, her cry also attracted the staff of the Family Planning Commission who had just entered the village and prepared to raid the big hammer.
What happened next, Zhou Xiaoliu didn't know what happened in her previous life, but she knew the result. Because she used to have a nickname called "Five Hundred Dollars".
Although her salary was not much in her previous life, Zhou's mother always collected all the money on the grounds of "you owe me" and "the money was worth it at that time", and then gave her a little money to maintain her basic life, patted her on the shoulder and sent her to work again. She recalled that the first of the "debts" that Zhou's mother said was the five hundred yuan. Zhou's mother has read a lot, even if Zhou Xiaoliu still has a little idea in her heart, "Why do you want me to pay for it", but she also began to feel that she owed too much. And Zhou's mother always thinks that she doesn't have the ability to earn as much as others, and even asks to keep every month's salary slip and hand it in for verification during the New Year, Zhou Xiaoliu only feels tired.
……
As soon as the family planning commission arrived at the entrance of the village, they heard the cry of a baby. The crowd exchanged a look of surprise at each other: Now look where you are going. For Zhou Qingshan, a diehard who has been born many times, he has to be fined at least 1,000 yuan according to the standards of people in the city, to see if he dares to give birth next time. As for the fine, if you pay it according to the standards of the countryside, the rest will be ours. Thinking of this, everyone felt that their steps were brisk, and even the one dragging the sledgehammer was also walking like flying.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, who were arrested, calmed down. "The village is so big, when the child cries, who can not know. Coupled with today's ceremony, this kid is famous. The fine must be paid, and now it is a matter of paying more and paying less. Zhou Xiaoliu, who was being held, heard Zhou's mother say this.
Zhou's mother looked at the people surrounding the door, waved her right hand, and glanced at the children, and the four children cried loudly.
The head of the Family Planning Commission: This is going to be sold miserably, and it is useless to sell miserably! Because the house is too small for people to squeeze into, the head of the Family Planning Commission has no choice but to stand at the door, give a speech on his work, and announce that the Zhou family will pay 1,200... No... A fine of 1,000 dollars. He looked at the four children who were crying, and estimated in his heart that with so many children to raise, even if Zhou Qingshan was a little clever and could make some money, it was impossible to get too much.
Onlookers of the villagers: What? The superbirth fee has risen so much? Last month, the neighboring village, didn't you just have to pay 400 yuan? When you go home, you have to warn your children that you can buy 700 catties of pork after thinking clearly!
Zhou's mother: There is no money, you can drown her, anyway, she is a girl! If you don't have money, you will die! Zhou's mother dragged a urine bucket out of the corner and sent the child in her hand forward. Do you dare? I bet you don't!
Zhou Xiaoliu: ......
All:......
The head of the Family Planning Commission felt that he had to give them some color to see. So he turned around fiercely and patted the shoulder of the staff member who had dragged the hammer all the way: "You get on." ”
The staff member picked up the big killer and said, "If you don't hand it over, you can smash it if you don't hand it over!"
The scene was stalemate for a while, and when the head of the Family Planning Commission said the word "smash", and the hammer left the ground and was about to smash against the wall, Grandpa Zhou, who had not appeared, stood up: "Qingshan, you have to pay the money, you can't smash the wall." "The sledgehammer of the Family Planning Commission stopped, after all, smashing the wall is also hard work, and if you can get the money smoothly, who would have to bother with that effort.
Previously, Grandpa Zhou didn't go out in the room, he was not blind, deaf, or a housekeeper, and his five sons couldn't manage it. But his second son hurriedly came in and said: "Dad, you persuade the eldest brother to let him admit the punishment, this is going to move the hammer, his half is smashed, and there is only a bamboo wall in front of my half, but it can't stop the wind and cold, and after a long time, it will collapse......"
Dad Zhou has always listened to Grandpa Zhou's words, and immediately opened his mouth to respond. Zhou's mother looked at it, she was in a hurry, there were more than 200 yuan in the house, and she had to keep it for Zhou Qingshan to go out and buy and sell it to make money, there are seven mouths to eat at this size, she stalked her neck and stuffed Zhou Xiaoliu into Grandpa Zhou's hand, "Dad, I really don't have any money, you take this girl and bury it, I don't think I gave birth to her, okay?"
If no one was watching, the red-faced Grandpa Zhou would definitely throw Zhou Xiaoliu back immediately, this girl is ominous, and she may be unlucky. He hurriedly stuffed Zhou Xiaoliu into Zhou Qingshan's hand: "If the house is smashed, you will get out of here." ”
Zhou Xiaoliu felt really tired, just for a short while, she almost died twice, she hypnotized herself: This is for bargaining, this is for bargaining...... She yawned, narrowed her eyes and fell asleep. She's just a baby after all......
When Zhou Xiaoliu woke up again, her third sister Zhou Xiaoxian shouted: "Mom, little sister is going to drink milk, right?" Zhou's mother picked up Zhou Xiaoliu, stuffed another **, and sighed. Zhou Xiaoxian asked again: "Mom, does the little sister have a name?" After some bargaining, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother signed an IOU of 500 yuan in arrears, which will be paid off within two years, and Zhou's mother was worried about where the money came from at this time, so she said impatiently: "Just call her 500 yuan!"
Zhou Xiaoliu was sucking greedily, and at the same time rejoicing in his heart, fortunately he was not called two hundred Wu......
……
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother saved money and scraped together, and it took three years to pay back 500, get back the IOU, and successfully get an account for "500 yuan". The registrar wrote down the gender and date of birth, and the tip of the pen stopped in the name field: "Is it so difficult to choose a name? Dad Zhou thought to himself: difficult, really difficult, I don't know many words, even fewer can be used as female names, I really can't think of it for a while, the names of the first few daughters were taken by the child's mother, but now she is pregnant and inconvenient to come out......
"One, two, three, four, five......" There are children kicking shuttlecocks outside the door, and other children are helping to count in unison. Dad Zhou had an idea, plus the fourth daughter he held for someone else, this is his sixth child, "Let's call Zhou Xiaoliu." He compared the child's nickname, well, it sounded much better than Friday Bai......
……
"Five hundred yuan, come in and eat!" Zhou Xiaoxian shouted outside the door. Zhou Xiaoliu answered, walked to Zhou Xiaoxian and stood still, and said helplessly: "Third sister, call me Xiaoliu in the future, the name on the household registration book." Zhou Xiaoxian set up the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his hands on the apron, and said, "I'm used to this, then I'll remember it in the future." Zhou Xiaoliu cried silently in his heart: I just did the same, I should get used to it......
Zhou Xiaoliu is three years old, and he is a virtual age. She had been trying to learn to sit, crawl, walk, and talk since she could turn over, and she was an adult soul after all, so she learned a little faster. But she didn't dare to be too prominent, for fear that Zhou's mother would think evil again. Therefore, like other little furry children in the village, she was often tied to the foot of the table with a rope and stayed at home alone. Now that she is older, she doesn't have to be tied up anymore, but she can only move an exclusive small wooden stool and sit quietly on the edge of the pillar in the corridor outside the door, so that Zhou's mother, who remembers her, can see her when she raises her eyes, and can save some space in the room for others to walk.
Zhou's mother is pregnant again, and Zhou Xiaoliu knows that this is a younger brother, his simple brother Zhou Cheng. Zhou's mother also knew that this was a son, because after being pregnant for four months, she spent a lot of money to go to a hospital in the city for an examination. Birth, must be born, no matter how much punishment is given, this is the decision of Zhou's parents and Zhou's parents with surprise when they first learned the appraisal results.
