Chapter 108: Who Cares About Money
Zhou Xiaoliu delivered a meal to Jin Hong, who lived in the next half room, and then returned to the dining table at his house, picked up chopsticks and prepared to eat.
At this time, Zhou's father came back from Grandpa Zhou's room, and Zhou Xiaoliu had no choice but to pick up the rice bowl, take some dishes with chopsticks and put them in the bowl, and then leave the table sideways and stand by the door to eat.
She has to get out of the way, otherwise Dad Zhou won't have a seat.
"Xiao Xian, serve a bowl of rice to Dad!" Dad Zhou commanded.
Zhou Xiaoxian answered, and then got up to serve the meal.
Zhou's mother glanced at Zhou's father and asked, "Your father didn't keep you for dinner?"
"Why didn't you stay? He did! He said he wanted to kill a chicken to make up for me! I refused. ”
Zhou Xiaoliu saw that Zhou's father looked like "my dad loves me", took a bite of rice with the rice bowl, looked at the sky while chewing, and said in his stomach: Innocent!
She heard Grandpa Zhou's heart at that time, and Grandpa Zhou clearly thought: It's good if you answer, if you do, there is nothing else to do, you can go back to eat if it's okay!
Zhou Xiaoxian put the rice in Zhou's hands and handed it to Zhou's father, then sat down to eat, after eating two bites, she beckoned to Zhou Xiaoliu and said, "Xiaoliu, bring the bowl, I'll give you some food." ”
Zhou Xiaoliu let out an "oh", handed over the bowl, and said, "Sandwich two sweet and sour pork ribs for me." ”
The chopsticks in Zhou's father's hand were stretching out to the only two sweet and sour pork ribs left, and when he heard that Zhou Xiaoliu was also going to eat, he paused slightly, then put a piece of pork ribs into his mouth, and spit out the bones before saying: "As a child, you must know how to respect your elders." That's how your grandfather taught your father. ”
Zhou Xiaoxian looked at the last rib on the plate and was embarrassed.
Zhou's mother sandwiched the ribs into Zhou Xiaoliu's bowl, and then said, "Your father taught you to be quite filial, why didn't he teach your younger brothers and sisters at the same time?"
"What did your father say when he closed the door and pulled you inside?" asked Zhou's mother.
"It's nothing, just let me build a house. Dad Zhou touched his nose and said softly.
"Our family naturally wants to build a house, what I asked is, he saw so much money, so he didn't ask you to give him 30,000 or 50,000 yuan?" It's just that I don't know how much this "big filial son" and big fool in front of me should give.
"My dad really didn't ask me for money, he just asked me to build a new house for my fourth brother. The more Dad Zhou spoke, the lower his voice became, and in the end, he simply lowered his head.
His wife and children had ten eyes, all of them staring at him.
As soon as Zhou's mother folded the chopsticks in her hand, a pair of chopsticks broke into four pieces, and she threw the four chopsticks in front of Zhou's father and said: "Do you know how much it costs to build a house? How many years of wages you have to save to count are enough! I have nothing to say if you want to be filial to your parents, and I will also be filial to my parents." But why did you ask you to build a house for your fourth brother? Are you born to your fourth brother?"
Zhou's father was actually reluctant, but his father was worried about the fourth brother's marriage, and his father said so, what could he do?
Dad Zhou stalked his neck and said, "It should be all done, the husband will do what he says!"
"This money is earned by the children, you have to be filial to your fourth brother and build a house for your fourth brother, and you can earn the money yourself!" Zhou's mother was furious.
Zhou Xiaoliu watched his parents arguing, nibbled on the last piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and asked vaguely, "Dad, what kind of house did Grandpa let you build for the fourth uncle?"
Dad Zhou replied: "Your grandfather said, you don't need to be old, just like your Uncle Qingjiang's family!"
Although Zhou Peng had already heard Zhou Xiaoliu say that Grandpa Zhou would take at least half of the money, he couldn't help but get angry when he heard Dad Zhou's words.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Dad, do you know which new house Uncle Qingjiang's house is?"
Dad Zhou shook his head.
Zhou Peng said again: "Dad, you come!"
When Zhou's father followed Zhou Peng to the door, Zhou Peng pointed to the tallest new house in the village and said: "This is Uncle Qingjiang's new house, two straight and three and a half floors! I have inquired, his land did not cost money, just to build a rough house cost more than 100,000 yuan, plus more than 50,000 yuan for decoration, a total of nearly 160,000!"
Dad Zhou was stunned for a while, then turned his head to look at Grandpa Zhou's door, and said in his heart: Dad, Dad, you are a pit!
Dad Zhou glanced at Zhou Peng again, moved his lips, and said frustratedly: "But I should ...... it"
Zhou's father once had a dream of martial arts, and he liked to use the three words "Xinyi" to flaunt himself, and he had a label of "doing what he said" on the "rivers and lakes". He didn't want to tear off the label on his body, so even if he knew that he was cheated by his father, he planned to pinch his nose and admit it.
Zhou Xiaoliu scolded again: "Brainless!"
Zhou Xiaoliu finished eating the rice in the bowl in a few bites, put the bowl on the table, and said to Zhou Peng at the door: "Brother, you will take care of the money in our family in the future!"
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother didn't expect that Zhou Xiaoliu, who had always been silent and scolding, would suddenly say such a sentence, and they couldn't accept it for a while.
Zhou's mother was just stunned.
Zhou's father was angry, he glared at Zhou Xiaoliu and yelled: "How can you talk here? Whoever cares about the money between me and your mother can't take care of the money, you hairy children!"
Zhou Peng stopped between Zhou's father and Zhou Xiaoliu, raised his head and asked Zhou's father: "Why doesn't Xiaoliu have a part to speak, the money is earned by Xiaoliu!"
Dad Zhou looked at Zhou Peng's appearance, and he was angry, so he raised his slap and hit Zhou Xiaoliu behind Zhou Peng.
He was reluctant to beat Zhou Peng, but he had no psychological burden at all to beat Zhou Xiaoliu. An ominous money-losing commodity.
Zhou Xiaoliu flashed, avoided Zhou's father's big slap, and said to Zhou Peng: "Brother, I'll go to the back mountain to breathe and keep enough money for us to build a house." With that, she walked back into the mountains.
In the other half of the room separated by the bamboo wall, Jin Hong asked Baihu: "She has always lived this kind of life?"
The white tiger said jokingly: "No, people hate dogs!"
Jin Hong: "Huh?"
Bai Hu immediately said solemnly: "When her parents are not at home, she is still quite comfortable. ”
Jin Hong was thoughtful.
The white tiger looked at his face and asked, "My lord, should our plan be carried out in advance?"
Jin Hongyi waved his hand and said, "Slow down!"
……
Zhou's father scolded Zhou Xiaoliu's back, he had just been cheated by his father, and he was hit by his own son, and he urgently needed to find a punching bag to vent his anger, but he didn't expect Zhou Xiaoliu to leave.
He was reluctant to scold his son Zhou Peng and his favorite daughter Zhou Xiaofang, so he yelled at Zhou Xiaoxian, who was standing at the door and looking at the direction of the back mountain, worried: "What are you doing here? Go and clean up the dishes and chopsticks!"
Zhou Peng was very stuffy in his heart, and he decided to have a good talk with Zhou's father.
"Dad, if you blindly take out your anger on us, it won't be fun. Let's go inside and talk!"
After Zhou Xiaoxian and Zhou Xiaofang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together and wiped the table, Zhou Peng sat on the place where Zhou's father often sits, and took out 50,000 yuan from the snakeskin bag with a solemn expression and put it in his hand.
Zhou's mother and Zhou's father glanced at each other and asked, "Do you really want to take care of money?"
Zhou Peng nodded and said, "Dad, if you take care of this money, in the end, our family will not talk about the house shop, even the tiles will not be able to add a few pieces." ”
Zhou's mother hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"You...... How can it be so serious as you say?" Dad Zhou turned his head embarrassedly.
"Isn't it serious? You'll give you a big house in a while! Believe it or not, grandpa won't wait until the house is halfway built, and he will ask you again for furniture, a TV, a telephone, ......."
Zhou Peng still didn't say half a sentence: "Who made you stupid!"
