Tonight's Zhoujiawu is particularly lively.

After dinner, the families moved out of the bamboo beds and chairs, and enjoyed the shade at the door of their respective homes.

Adults shook their fans and chatted loudly, occasionally slapping mosquitoes and shouting "don't fight" at their children.

The children gathered around to play handkerchiefs, wooden figures and other games, laughing and playing.

Night crept in, but everyone didn't go back to their rooms immediately.

Zhou Xiaoliu, who was sitting at the door of the house, looked at Zhou Jiawu like this and said, "It's so lively, it's so good!"

Zhou Peng peeled a green-skinned orange and handed it to Zhou Xiaoliu's hand, saying, "But I always feel that something is wrong." ”

Zhou Xiaoliu took the orange and said, "For the first time in four years, the people in our village are still staying outdoors when it's dark. ”

Since the "ghost and fairy appearance" and grave removal incident four years ago, the people of Zhoujiawu always eat dinner before dark, nest in the room after eating, and will not come out until the next morning when the rooster crows.

There are exceptions, such as the days when it is the day when it is the turn of the person to release the water at night when it is the turn of the person to release the water at night. At this time, they will borrow Zhou Xiaoliu from Zhou Xiaoxian, because Daoist Li once said that Zhou Xiaoliu has a peculiar life and is born with righteousness.

Now that everyone has forgotten, she is no longer afraid of the night, and she no longer needs to be a mascot to ward off evil spirits, which is great!

Zhou Peng tilted his head and thought for a while before pointing to the old and young people in the village and said, "Are you mistaken? How do I remember that our village has always been like this?"

"Even you forgot?" Zhou Xiaoliu asked in surprise.

Zhou Peng looked at her in confusion and asked, "What did I forget?"

Zhou Xiaoliu asked in a very low voice: "Brother, do you remember the shop and land we bought in the county seat?"

Zhou Peng immediately covered her mouth, then looked left and right, made sure that no one heard her, and then lowered his voice and replied: "I'm not stupid, how can I forget? Beware of being heard!"

"Do you remember where our money came from?"

Zhou Peng looked at Zhou Xiaoliu with the eyes of "your brain is w", and said, "Jin Hong took us to Panjiayuan to pick up the leaks! a total of 2.6 million." You don't remember?"

Zhou Xiaoliu looked at the more than five million lying in the storage ring and was stunned.

Jin Hongshi's trick of forgetting words actually has the effect of modifying memory? Obviously, she took out the antiques in the ring and sold them for 6.6 million, and her brother actually remembered that she had picked up 2.6 million yuan.

What does it feel like to suddenly have 4 million private money? Zhou Xiaoliu said: She is very sad! Because she doesn't know how to spend it. Well, let's think about how to spend it later!

It was a few more moments before she thought to ask the question, "Where do I put the rest of the money?"

When Zhou Peng heard this, he glanced at her with the eyes of "your brain is really watt", and said, "Didn't you lock the money in the wooden box where you put your clothes on the partition of the beam?"

Zhou Xiaoliu stuffed a petal of orange into his mouth, and then his face was wrinkled with sourness.

Looks like she's busy tonight. She had to calculate how much Zhou's mother had spent recently, how much it would be after subtracting this amount from 2.6 million, and then transfer the correct amount of money from the storage ring and lock it into her wooden box.

She stuffed the orange in her hand back into Zhou Peng's hand and said, "Brother, it's too sour!

Zhou Peng waved his hand and said with a wicked smile: "I know, I gave it to you because it was not delicious." It's so funny to see your face wrinkled with acid!"

Zhou Xiaoliu looked up at the sky, and said in his heart: My brother who likes pit girls is back.

……

A month has passed in a flash, and the new three-and-a-half-story house of Zhou Xiaoliu's family has been built and simply installed, as long as the construction waste on the ground is cleaned up, dried for a period of time, and then installed doors and windows, you can move in.

The three brothers of the Wang family, the craftsman, finished the work at hand, and took out the account book to reconcile with Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother had already calculated it a few times, and only asked the three brothers of the Wang family to report a general account, and when they saw that the amount was consistent with their own calculations, they paid the money happily.

After Zhou's mother finished paying, she glanced at Zhou Peng, Zhou Peng nodded without a trace, and said to Zhou's father, who was looking at the account book carefully: "Dad, why is the water still coming out of the well that our family has drilled?"

When Dad Zhou heard this, he immediately raised his head and said, "How come? I looked at it several times yesterday, and the water is clean." ”

"We just went to take a look, the water is muddy!, right, Xiaoliu?" Zhou Peng pushed Zhou Xiaoliu, who was standing next to him.

Zhou Xiaoliu nodded immediately. Zhou's mother said early in the morning that let them support Zhou's father, she wanted to avoid Zhou's father and ask the Wang brothers to help her build a house in the county.

Seeing that Zhou Peng was serious, Zhou's father put down the account book in his hand and walked towards the well in the backyard that had been in place for a few days, muttering as he walked: "Could it be that the wall of the well has not been built well and the soil has collapsed?"

When he arrived at the well, Dad Zhou glanced at the well water, confirmed it several times, and then looked up and asked, "Where is it muddy?"

Zhou Peng pretended to be surprised and gathered around the well to look at it again and again, and said, "Strange, could it be that I am wrong? Maybe I've been too tired recently, and I've been dizzy, and I've been dazzled." ”

Dad Zhou touched Zhou Peng's head with pity and said, "You don't have to come to clean up the garbage in the past two days, it's enough to have me and Xiaoliu." When you've rested enough, it's time to start school. Dad has two wishes, one is to build a big house, and the other is that you and Xiao Cheng can be like your cousin Wenyuan in the future and get admitted to a good university. ”

Dad Zhou patted Zhou Peng's shoulder and said, "We have built the house, and in the future, Dad will not go out to work, and will study for you at home!"

Zhou's father was about to leave after speaking, Zhou Xiaoliu was afraid that Zhou's mother had not yet negotiated with the Wang brothers, so he hurriedly said: "Dad, do we want to install a water pump in the well?

Dad Zhou snorted and said, "Are you panicking when you have too much money? Are you still not satisfied with the well? I used to have to fetch water from hundreds of meters away, but now the well is in the backyard, and the bucket of water can exhaust you?"

Zhou Xiaoliu lowered his head and said, "I just thought it would be more convenient to flush the toilet." "Carrying water to flush the toilet is not only not clean, but also very water-intensive.

Dad Zhou gave her a blank look and said, "It's convenient, I think you're just lazy! Go and clean up the garbage!"

Zhou Xiaoliu went to work sullenly, Zhou Peng looked at his sister's back, and said to Zhou's father: "Dad, don't always scold Xiaoliu, she does no less work than me every day, and she is also tired!"

Dad Zhou replied: "A girl loses money and goods, I raise her so big, what's wrong with letting me do some work?

……

Zhou Xiaoliu gently scraped the cement slurry on the ground with a small shovel, and at the same time thought in his heart: "Eccentric eyes! Patriarchal and old feudal! Innocent! If you weren't for my father, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you, and if you get sick in the future, I'm not the only one in the hospital ...... you."

As she read it, she suddenly shed two tears. She wiped her arm and asked herself softly, "Aren't you used to it?"

"Do you want me to breathe for you?" a voice asked.

Zhou Xiaoliu was startled, looked up at the door, and exclaimed in surprise: "Two... Sun Wu?"

"It's me!" replied Sun Wu, who was wearing a cloak and cloak.

Zhou Xiaoliu looked at his cloak and cloak, and said, "This needlework has improved quite quickly, much stronger than me." "The one he wore last time wasn't sewn well, and it looked weird in many places.

Sun Wu said sourly, "You have been learning for others for so long, and your needlework still hasn't improved?" he said as he took a few steps forward.

Zhou Xiaoliu took a small shovel and said to Sun Wu: "Don't get close, you still stand there, I'm afraid if it's too close." ”

Sun Wu silently took two steps back, leaning against the door with his arms folded and sulking.

"Little Liu!Little Liu!Which room are you in?"

It's Mom! Uh! Mommy, if she sees this Sun Wu who suddenly appears here, how will she explain?

Zhou Xiaoliu was in a hurry, and blurted out a witty remark: "You go quickly! My mother won't let me play with fools!"

Sun Wu snorted fiercely, shook his cloak and disappeared.

Uh, this is angry, right? Zhou Xiaoliu slapped his mouth, calling you nonsense, calling you nonsense!
