Zhou Xiaoliu walked under his grandfather's straw stack, patted the grass clippings and soil on his body, straightened his clothes and pants, and then quietly came to his door and asked Baihu, "What's the situation inside?"

The white tiger looked in through the wall and said, "They are all asleep!"

Zhou Xiaoliu took out a branch that had been prepared a long time ago, reached into the crack of the door, and gently pried the door bolt. The wooden door bolt has long been broken, and it is useless to bolt it, but it will give the people inside a kind of psychological comfort of "safety".

Fortunately, the folk customs are quite simple these days, and there are no petty thieves in the village. However, her family is poor, and no thief is willing to patronize it.

The moment the bolt was pried open, Zhou Xiaoliu received the stand-in talisman, and then gently opened the door, the door "squeaked", Zhou Xiaoxian really woke up again, she sat up suddenly, looked around nervously with her still confused eyes, and only when she saw clearly that it was Zhou Xiaoliu who was stepping into the door, she was relieved.

"Why did you go out to the thatched house again?" "Not long after I slept last night, didn't Xiaoliu go to the thatched house once?

"Stomach upset......" Zhou Xiaoliu replied.

"Diarrhea?" Zhou Xiaoxian's newly settled heart brought up again, what if Xiaoliu gets sick? Will grandpa take money to buy medicine for their medical treatment?

She didn't know that Grandpa Zhou liked to take money to take them to the doctor and buy medicine, because for one dollar, she could record the account as five yuan.

If you spend 10 yuan, you can write it down as 20 yuan, why do you only double it? Because if you spend too much, you will definitely be seriously ill, and if you are seriously ill, you will have to go to a big hospital.

At the end of the year, Grandpa Zhou took his account book and happily asked Zhou's mother for reimbursement, as for the voucher, no!

"No, no, I don't have diarrhea, it's just not very comfortable, and it could be a stomach... I'm hungry!" Zhou Xiaoliu saw that her sister was in a hurry, so she touched her stomach and said a reason that her sister could accept, and it just so happened that her sister's stomach also "growled".

The two sisters looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

Zhou Xiaoxian patted the position next to him and said to Zhou Xiaoliu: "Come up, sleep for a while, you won't be hungry when you fall asleep." When Zhou Xiaoliu lay down, she also lay down, squinting her eyes, brewing sleepiness to hide her hunger.

Zhou Xiaoliu, who had not slept all night, lay on the bed, but found that she couldn't sleep at all, she listened to the "cooing" sound from her and her sister's stomachs, and secretly decided in her heart: You must come up with a way to make money, and don't let yourself and your family go hungry again in this life!

At dawn, the three siblings got up and stayed on the stove at grandma's house in the big kitchen to watch grandma cook porridge. When the porridge was cooked, they were about to serve the bowl just like yesterday morning, when the sister-in-law suddenly came out, snatched the bowl from their hands, and howled towards the fourth uncle's room: "Fourth brother, come quickly, they have come to our house to eat white food again......

Zhou Xiaoxian and Zhou Peng were so angry that their faces were red, and Zhou Peng couldn't help but speak: "My parents told my grandfather that they would give 800 yuan per person for food, and we won't eat for nothing!"

Zhou Xue rolled her eyes and said, "Give it, give it, give it, where is the money, why didn't I see it?"

At this time, her fourth uncle walked in with a glare, and Zhou Xiaoxian was afraid that Zhou Peng would be beaten, so he took his younger brother with one hand and his sister with the other, and went back to the room. The grandmother, who was standing at the table and setting the dishes and chopsticks, glanced at them and did not say anything to save them.

Zhou Xiaoxian and Zhou Peng went to school on an empty stomach.

Zhou Xiaoliu closed the door, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the account of the old things collected last night, and then handed the paper with the account to Baihu for safekeeping.

Counting the time, Zhou Xiaoliu walked out of the door and prepared to go to the grocery store of Aunt Xiuhua's house at the entrance of the village.

Sister-in-law Zhou Xue hooked her finger at her and motioned her over. Zhou Xiaoliu didn't pay attention to it and walked straight away.

Her sister-in-law was angry behind her: "Sure enough, it's a little beast who is worse than a dog, I call you, you dare not do it, you don't want to eat in the future, right?" Okay, you, take one more step, and I will punish you for starving for two more days, for a total of four days......

Zhou Xiaoliu's ears moved, he was a brute, and the people of Zhou Jiawu, who were related to him by blood, were all brutes, for the sake of her sister-in-law scolding herself, she didn't care.

Oh, and one more thing, it turns out that the sister-in-law and the fourth uncle plan to let them starve for two days before giving them food! Grandpa always allows his children to toss his nephews and nieces like this, and at the end of the year, how can he be embarrassed to ask his eldest son for money, it is really too much.

"White Tiger, do you say it's too much!" Zhou Xiaoliu ignored her sister-in-law, but she couldn't stop being angry, so she asked White Tiger to comment.

The white tiger meditated and replied: "Don't come to ask this great god about this kind of thing, this great god doesn't understand, and he doesn't bother to understand!" "You can get these mundane things done as soon as possible, and you can cultivate with peace of mind. ”

Zhou Xiaoliu "cut", anyway, she vented her negative emotions, and didn't expect Baihu to say four, five or six.

It is the class time of the first class of Zhoujiawu Primary School, Aunt Xiuhua is sorting out the goods in the grocery store, and in the period before the school class, there are many small customers who come to buy snacks, and the snacks piled high are sold much shallower, and she wants to add some of them to the place.

She thought to herself while adding goods: children can make much more money than adults, unlike those adults, sometimes they have to give up a few cents for a soy sauce.

Aunt Xiuhua, who had added good goods, clapped her hands and stretched her somewhat sore waist, and suddenly she noticed a child standing outside the door, and she habitually greeted: "Which one do you want to buy? bubble gum or sour plum powder?" Aunt Xiuhua reported two snack names that could especially evoke Zhou Xiaoliu's childhood memories.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoliu shook her head, she asked again: "Guo Danpi?

She said to Zhou Xiaoliu good-naturedly: "Come, then you pick one, and pick your aunt to calculate the money for you." ”

"No, auntie, I'm Zhou Xiaoliu, my dad is Zhou Qingshan, and my mom is Li Yue. ”

Aunt Xiuhua took a closer look, but no, this is the little sixth of Brother Qingshan's family who doesn't come out to play much, I heard that when the young master of the Jin family was in the village before, he liked to play with her. It's just that at this moment, what is she doing in front of her shop to report her door?

"I want to take some credit. Zhou Xiaoliu got straight to the point.

Aunt Xiuhua thought that she basically only let the boys pay on credit, because the boys in the village were more favored than the girls, and when she took the account book to collect the bills, the adults would scold the children a few times at most, and the accounts would be paid. The girl came to give credit, she didn't dare to allow it easily, and when she turned around, the adults in the family beat her to death, not only did she offend people, but she might not return the account.

She glanced at Zhou Xiaoliu, this was an incapable repayment, so she smiled and was about to refuse.

Zhou Xiaoliu didn't wait for her refusal to say anything, she stretched out her hand and made a "stop" action, and then Zhou Xiaoliu said: "Aunt Xiuhua, I don't want snacks on credit." When my mother was leaving, she said that my aunt is a good person, in case my grandfather's family doesn't give us food, let us go to your shop to get some firewood, rice, oil and salt on credit, and start our own business. ”

When Aunt Xiuhua, who was issued a good person card, heard this, her gossip suddenly became active, she was in class at this time, and there was no business anyway, so she listened carefully, why didn't Uncle Yongan give the child food?
