Chapter 41: Real Gold
Zhou Xiaoxian fished out the rice to be steamed in the morning, cooked the porridge, and then went to call Zhou Peng and Zhou Xiaoliu to get up, but no matter how she shook it, Zhou Xiaoliu just didn't wake up.
It is relatively normal for children to snooze, but Xiaoliu seems to have never been in bed. Thinking of this, she touched Zhou Xiaoliu's forehead, and then compared her body temperature to make sure that Zhou Xiaoliu did not have a fever, so she was a little relieved. left porridge for Xiaoliu, and she and Zhou Peng packed up and closed the door to go to school.
Zhou Xiaoliu thought that he would get up on time when he slept until six o'clock, but he didn't expect to sleep until nearly noon. In his grandfather's house across the wall, an old-fashioned grandfather clock ......rang eleven times, and Zhou Xiaoliu sat up as if he had been awakened, and turned his head left and right in a daze. Then, she lifted the quilt, got dressed, and washed her face with warm water before she really came to her senses.
She pried the lid of the coal stove on the stove, put the heavy big iron pot on the stove with great force, scooped the underwater pot, and began to steam the raw rice that Zhou Xiaoxian had fished out in the morning in the steaming plate barrel.
She rubbed her somewhat sore arm, stretched her waist again, and sighed: "This body is really bad, but after staying up for two nights, my whole body is sore and I can't lift my strength, it seems that I must keep up with nutrition first." ”
When the rice was halfway cooked, Zhou Xiaoxian and Zhou Peng went home from school. After Zhou Xiaoxian put down her schoolbag, she came to her own stove, she saw Zhou Xiaoliu holding a kitchen knife in her hand, aiming at half a pickle on the board, so she hurriedly said: "Put down the knife, put down the knife, I'll cut it, don't cut it." ”
Zhou Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Third sister, don't worry, I will cut it, didn't I cut it well yesterday?"
Zhou Xiaoxian was stunned for a while, when did Xiao Liu learn the knife skills, cutting quickly and evenly, and he looked more skilled than himself.
Zhou Peng, who came to the stove with Zhou Xiaoxian, glanced at Zhou Xiaoliu and said, "It's going to be a lot!"
Zhou Xiaoliu was very useful to his brother's words, raised his eyebrows, and replied: "Don't praise me, I will be proud!"
Zhou Peng wanted to speak and stopped, and after Zhou Xiaoxian stepped out of the big kitchen with pickles, he frowned and said: "I don't know if the more you get, the more you have to do? Look at my sister-in-law, every time grandma asked her to wash dishes, she deliberately smashed one, and then said 'no', grandma would stop letting her wash for a long time." ”
Zhou Xiaoliu understands that as Zhou's mother's baby bump, Zhou Peng has never worked so much, and now he can learn to carry water, and promised that he will be in charge of carrying water in the future, which is good.
Zhou Xiaoliu thought for a while, and said to Zhou Peng: "Don't learn from my sister-in-law, we don't have so many bowls to smash." However, if you can wash the dishes after eating today, tomorrow is Saturday, and it happens to be a market in the town, so we will call my sister to go to the town to play together, and buy meat to eat by the way!"
Zhou Peng glanced at Zhou Xiaoliu with disdain: "Is what you say is what? There are so many people on the set, it's strange that my sister will agree to take us there! Besides, do we have the money? and buy meat to eat...... You want to trick me into washing the dishes!"
Although Zhou Xiaoliu did want her brother to wash the dishes, she really wasn't cheating, because she planned to exchange the gold ring stored in Bai Hu's head tomorrow for money, and after exchanging the money, she would go to buy some meat and vegetables.
Originally, there were still some radishes and cabbage in the field, but Zhou's mother pickled them all before leaving, so Zhou Xiaoliu's family only has pickles left now, how can it be nutritious just to eat this?
I also have to secretly buy some Dark Coins.
But if Zhou Xiaoxian knows that she has a gold ring, according to Zhou Xiaoxian's temperament, she will definitely ask her where the ring came from, and will confiscate it and then report the matter to Zhou's mother, and no one can touch it again before Zhou's mother's disposal is down. And Zhou's mother knows, things must be confiscated.
Therefore, Zhou Xiaoliu thought, it is best to avoid the third sister.
How to avoid it? There are so many people gathered, the third sister will definitely hold their hands tightly and not let go.
Zhou Xiaoliu thought about it again and again, and decided to pull Zhou Peng as an ally, as long as he gave him a few dollars after selling the money, he would definitely be happy to help him cover.
took a small part of the money to buy vegetables and meat, as for this money, it was said that Jin Hong gave it to her before. The third sister can't tell her to go to the capital to return the money to Jin Hong.
Zhou Xiaoliu, who consciously planned well, hooked her finger at her brother and said, "You come here with your ears!"
Zhou Xiaoliu said in the ear of Zhou Peng, who came over with his ear: "When I was herding cattle the night before yesterday, I not only caught a bamboo rat in the bamboo bush, but also picked up a gold ring......
Before Zhou Xiaoliu finished speaking, Zhou Peng asked her suspiciously: "Is it really a gold ring? Can you recognize a gold ring? It can't be the kind of plastic ring toy coated with gold powder in the sour plum powder that someone else bought, right?"
Zhou Xiaoliu was embarrassed for a moment, and then calmed down again.
Although she did pick up the kind of plastic rings thrown by others when she was so old in her previous life, and hid them for a long time as if they were real gold, but during the time when she saved money to buy gold rings for Zhou's mother after work, she went to the major gold stores in the county to try them on and compare them many times.
She really knows. But Zhou Peng obviously didn't believe her, he rolled his eyes at her, turned around and was about to leave, before the meal was eaten, how could he have time to listen to Xiaoliu's nonsense, hungry and panicked.
Zhou Xiaoliu asked the white tiger in Zhihai to take out the gold ring from his head and throw it into her hand, she quickly pulled out the faint gray gas on the gold ring, and then called out to Zhou Peng, who was walking away, spread out his palm, and said, "Brother, look!"
Zhou Peng had seen gold jewelry, but it wasn't shown to him by Zhou's mother, and Zhou's mother never owned it.
When Zhou's mother married Zhou's father, there was no gold jewelry in the dowry and dowry, and Zhou's father promised that he would make up for her when he had spare money in the future. But later, more and more children were born, and the pressure of life became more and more intense, so Zhou's mother no longer had the luxury of expecting Zhou's father to fulfill this sentence.
Zhou's mother took Zhou Peng and Zhou Cheng with her everywhere she went, and often some women of her age stretched out their fingers and necks, showing off the rings in their hands and the necklaces around their necks to her.
But Zhou Peng looked at those jewelry, gold, valuable, worth a lot, he also remembered, it turned out that gold worth a lot of money looked like this!
Therefore, when Zhou Peng turned his head and saw the ring shining with gold in Zhou Xiaoliu's palm, he immediately rushed over with an arrow step, folded Zhou Xiaoliu's four fingers except for his thumb, and covered the ring in his palm.
Then he looked at the front and back doors of the large kitchen, where the others had already cooked, and now there was no one but them. He carefully lifted Zhou Xiaoliu's index finger and middle finger, glanced at it quickly, quickly covered the two fingers, and bent his eyes with a smile.
