Chapter 5 Endorsement
"The mysterious, the ancestor of nature, and the great sect of all things. It is also deep, so it is called micro. It is far away, so it is called Miaoyan. Its height is like a crown covering the sky, and its openness is shrouded in eight corners...... "At six o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhou Xiaoliu moved her exclusive small stool, sat facing east under the pillar of the corridor, and began to sing and read a book that was invisible to others.
This book has a total of twenty volumes, the first volume of "Chang Xuan", she only feels jerky and awkward to read, let alone understand the meaning, and after reading for an hour, she can only barely read smoothly. It's just that she didn't know that every time she read a sentence, a faint purple qi would penetrate her forehead and go to her pineal gland.
Zhou Xiaoliu's sisters cooked porridge, set up the dishes and chopsticks, and then called Zhou's mother to get up. Zhou's mother squinted her eyes and said, "Xiaoliu, hurry up! Xiaohong dresses Xiaoliu!"
"Mom, Xiaoliu got up early in the morning. Zhou Xiaoliu's eldest sister Zhou Xiaohong replied.
Zhou's mother opened her eyes and looked at the inside of the shelf bed, only to see six-year-old Zhou Peng sleeping soundly with the quilt in his arms. So she remembered that Zhou Xiaoliu started sleeping on the table last night.
"What's crazy in the morning, what are you singing? It's a headache. Mother Zhou listened to Zhou Xiaoliu's voice outside the door, listened for a while, and didn't understand a word, so she said impatiently.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Xiaoxian asked, she saw her sister singing nonsense as if she was holding a book, "Do you want to read like your sisters? It's too early, you have to be seven years old in elementary school." ”
Zhou Xiaoliu was stunned for a while, uh, I forgot to cover up, if Zhou's mother found out, I should dislike her again.
Before Zhou Xiao turned six years old, several families without daughters came to Zhoujiawu and wanted to support her. At this time, most of the adoption in the countryside was the purchase and sale of biological children in disguise. The adoptive parents give a milk powder money, and the biological parents promise not to recognize each other in the future, and then sit down to have a meal together, and then have a hand of money for the child after the meal, and the adoption ceremony is completed.
Zhou Xiaoliu is not bad, so there are still many people who are interested in raising her, but Zhou's mother is a little hesitant when she thinks that the price offered by the person is not enough to pay the 500 yuan for the birth, and when she thinks about how sad she was when her fourth daughter was given away.
"Hug it, hug it, when other people's daughters can still eat enough and have new clothes to wear......" When she finally convinced herself and decided to hold Xiaoliu to someone else, she didn't know who chewed the root of her tongue and told people about the ritual on the second day of Zhou Xiaoliu's birth. So even if you don't want a penny, Zhou Xiaoliu can't send it away. For this reason, Zhou Xiaoliu was disgusted for a while, and Zhou's mother was very negative even feeding her in those days.
Therefore, Zhou Xiaoliu warned himself that if he didn't want to go hungry, he couldn't behave differently in front of Zhou's mother.
"Third sister, you can teach me to read your first-grade book, okay?" Zhou Xiaoliu looked at Zhou Xiaoxian and said with a pretended eagerness.
Zhou Xiaoxian is nine years old this year, she is in the second grade, she loves her things very much, including her old textbooks, unlike their eldest sister and second sister who sell old books for candy as soon as they change grades, and her old books are still well preserved.
"After breakfast, we're going to school, you are obedient at home, don't go far, now there are bad people who use sugar to trick children to sell, the third sister will find a book tomorrow morning and teach you again, go, wash your hands and eat porridge." ”
From the time she fed Zhou Xiaoliu the first sip of water, Zhou's mother discovered Zhou Xiaoxian's talent for taking children, so Zhou Xiaoliu was basically taken care of by the third sister Zhou Xiaoxian, the eldest sister Zhou Xiaohong was responsible for housework, and the second sister Zhou Xiaofang was more favored by Zhou's father, basically ran out to play with her companions whenever she had time, and Zhou Peng was Zhou's mother's baby wherever she went.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Zhou Xiaoliu climbed onto the bed of his sisters, and then pretended to inadvertently flip over the pillows of his sisters, hiding the books in his hands under the pillows.
She suddenly became extremely envious of other reborns, people have a space at every turn, they can grow ginseng and medicinal herbs, or grow vegetables, make a fortune "so easy", drink spiritual springs, eat spiritual fruits, and talk about love... Well, Zhou Xiaoliu looked at his hands and feet, he was only three years old, and in the end, we couldn't envy this.
She looked at the small bowl of porridge that belonged to her on the table again, and couldn't help but sigh: Such a small bowl is really not hungry! Because Mao himself finally won the prize and was reborn, but he only had a skill? And it seems that this award cannot be won in vain, the old man only let himself endorse it first, and has not yet told himself what he is going to do. The universe is peaceful or something, Zhou Xiaoliu said that she really can't do anything, she just wants to eat a full meal now......
The current situation of the Zhou family is that except for Zhou Qingshan, the head of the family, and Zhou Peng, the baby bump, everyone else is in a state of being hungry and panicked after eating the last meal and often waking up in the middle of the night. Of course, Zhou's mother is pregnant with a son in her belly, and from today onwards, she will have to live a good life for a while.
Zhou Xiaoliu sighed, picked up the small bowl, drank the porridge in one go, wiped his mouth after drinking, raised his head and deliberately burped, pretending that he ate roast duck early in the morning, ate too much braised pork to hold up......
Zhou's mother took the dishes and chopsticks and sat at the head of the bed to count the money, Zhou Xiaoliu saw her counting back and forth, and folded the money corners into creases while counting, as if one dollar would become two pieces, Zhou Xiaoliu thought: It's all poor, you deserve to be poor, and you are still poor.
Zhou's mother counted the money this time, and it is estimated that she is going to go far away, and she will be pregnant next month, and she will be forcibly pulled to have an abortion if she is discovered. Zhou's mother's thoughts, Zhou Xiaoliu doesn't need to guess to know: hide outside first and give birth and then come back, and admit as much as you punish, this is a son.
"Mom, there's a five-cent coin on the ground. Zhou Peng squatted down and got up again, holding a coin in one hand and said, while he put the other hand behind his back, and shook it at Zhou Xiaoliu, who was sitting on the wooden bed and had been watching him, signaling her not to make a sound. Zhou Xiaoliu was speechless, it turned out that his brother was already so treacherous when he was six years old, and this was obviously something he secretly took from Zhou's mother under Zhou's mother's nose when she was counting banknotes.
"My son is so smart, he knows five cents of coins at such a young age, good, these five cents will be awarded to you, and I will go to the small shop at the entrance of the village to buy a lollipop to eat later!" Zhou's mother looked relieved, touched Zhou Peng's head, and said.
Zhou Xiaoliu remembered that in her previous life, on the first day of the Lunar New Year when she was seven years old, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, who came back from working in Guangzhou Province to earn some money, pressed the New Year's money, and the sisters were ten yuan each, Zhou Peng and Zhou Cheng were ten yuan each, and when it came to her, there was only a five-cent banknote.
Zhou Xiaoliu found that it was different, so he ran to Zhou's mother and said, "Mom, you got the wrong New Year's money for my bag, this is five cents." Zhou's mother didn't praise her, but lied to her, saying that it was ten yuan. At that time, Zhou Xiaoliu was thinking about fighting for the ten yuan, thinking that it was the same as the New Year's money, and her status in the hearts of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother was the same as that of other brothers and sisters, so she kept following Zhou's mother and wanted to grind her for money, but Zhou's mother was annoyed, so she directly pulled her and beat her hard.
Children are also sensitive, there are many things like this, Zhou Xiaoliu came to the conclusion: Zhou's mother is different to her, and if she is not angry, it is good. Gradually, Zhou Xiaoliu no longer took the initiative to approach, including physical distance and psychological distance.
Therefore, now this Zhou Xiaoliu, who has the memory of two lifetimes, is no longer jealous, she only smiled slightly, and then watched Zhou's mother count the money, and she was silently reciting in her heart: "Xuanzhi, the ancestor of nature, and the great sect of all things is also ......"
