Chapter 157: One Year
In the end, the three of them actually started playing poker.
Zhou Xiaoan has always felt that she is quite smart, but after a few rounds, she found that she seemed to be wrong. A note on the face is proof of that.
In order to prove his strength, Zhou Xiaoan began to play poker seriously as never before.
She pasted a note on her face, stared at her, pursed her mouth, frowned, and counted cards seriously, even Gu Yunkai felt funny, deliberately released water, and let her win one of the three, the notes on her face continued to increase, and it didn't hit her to the point of giving up completely, and she was very energetic all night.
She was so energetic, Zhou Xiaoquan and Gu Yunkai were also driven with great interest, and the three of them didn't even go home to accompany their families on New Year's Eve until they heard the tweeter in the factory and suddenly remembered that they had started to play the New Year's Eve report of the Central People's Radio.
Zhou Xiaoan was very guilty, she had also politely responded to Gu Yunkai's proposal to play poker, how could she have thought that it would become like this......
Gu Yunkai put away the poker, took out two red envelopes from his pocket, and gave one to each sister and brother, "New Year's money." Seeing that the sister and brother were about to excuse themselves, he added, "It's for your uncle." ”
Neither of them could refuse.
Zhou Xiaoan suddenly missed his uncle very, very much, and asked Gu Yunkai in a low voice, "Do you have a chance to contact my uncle after you return to the army?" Can you say a few words about personal matters? ”
Gu Yunkai thought for a while, "Yes." If you have anything to say, I can relay it for you. ”
Zhou Xiaoan had a lot of things to say to his uncle, "You tell my uncle that I have eaten all the dried fruits he gave me." ”
She had eaten all the big packets, but he hadn't come back yet......
Zhou Xiaoan struggled to control himself so that he didn't cry.
Gu Yunkai didn't know what to do, but he still nodded seriously, "I'll help you bring it." ”
Gu Yunkai left, leaving a sentence, "It's very interesting to celebrate the New Year with you, I'll come to you to play poker tomorrow." ”
Zhou Xiaoan was still wondering, was it because of her relationship that Gu Yunkai was delayed to go home to accompany his family, listening to what he meant, it seemed that he was addicted to playing poker?
However, looking at the red envelope in his hand, he had to express a warm welcome.
Gu Yunkai left, and the sister and brother also cleaned up and went to sleep. This is the second Spring Festival that the two of them have spent together, and like last year, there was no Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, not even a single dumpling.
"Xiaoquan, next year my sister will definitely let you eat dumplings!" Since she came into this world, this child has been wholeheartedly devoted to her, and she has to try to be kind to him.
Zhou Xiaoquan obviously has his own set of ideas, "Sister, I'm fifteen years old, and I'm old enough to go to work and earn money, and I'll earn dumplings for you to eat in the future!" Don't let you suffer anymore! ”
Zhou Xiaoan thought about it, "Okay! You work hard! If the salary is less than thirty-two dollars and five, I won't eat you. ”
Thirty-two yuan five is the salary of a first-class worker, the minimum standard for regular workers. It is also the minimum wage allocated by the state to high school and secondary school students.
Zhou Xiaoquan understood his sister's expectations of herself, and nodded seriously, "Sister, don't worry!" I'm sure I'm going to have a good time! ”
Lying on the bed, Zhou Xiaoquan quickly snorted sweetly, but Zhou Xiaoan couldn't sleep a little and secretly entered the space.
It's been another year, and she is trying to smile at the photo of their family of three on her phone, hoping to convey her emotions to her parents and hope that they can be strong to face life in the future.
But laughing and laughing, tears still dripped down.
Zhou Xiaoan controlled her emotions, she believed that if she cried and laughed, her parents would definitely be able to perceive it, and she must have a connection with that world.
Touching the two protrusions that had shrunk very small on the floor of the space, Zhou Xiaoan became more and more convinced of his thoughts.
Everything in this space seems to have been frozen by time, except for these two protrusions, from the first faint dye seeping into the floor, to slowly protruding, and as time passes, the color becomes darker and darker, from brown to dark brown, to reddish-brown, to bright red, to dark red, and now it is a black and red with blood.
The area was getting smaller and smaller, and now it had become two pieces smaller than her fist, as thick as the palm of her hand, and she could clearly feel physical and mental pleasure to the touch.
It was as if she had some mysterious connection to these two stone-like bumps, and by being next to them, she could heal physical and mental wounds.
Zhou Xiaoan also developed such a habit, whenever he was sad, he would come in and touch them, and his emotions would soon stabilize.
Zhou Xiaoan didn't delve into the origin of these two stones, she had already experienced the crossing, and she also brought half of the supermarket with her, and there was nothing surprising to have two magical stones.
After his mood stabilized, Zhou Xiaoan also went out to sleep. The new year has begun, and she has to continue to work hard for her life!
The Spring Festival is a three-day holiday, and the organs and units in the mine are not working, and no one has come back to Zhou Xiaoan's dormitory, Zhou Xiaoquan is still here to accompany her, just go home every day to see it and come back.
Gu Yunkai is a talker, he really comes to them every day to play poker for a while, and every time he doesn't come empty-handed, he brings them food in different ways.
The cannibal mouth is short, and he also took the initiative to tutor Zhou Xiaoquan in his homework, and after a long time, Zhou Xiaoan didn't think how cold he was in the house.
After the third year of junior high school, all the government agencies and units went to work, and Zhou Xiaoquan also went home to live. However, the sisters and brothers will go to night school together every day for self-study, Zhou Xiaoan's Tigan exam is on the tenth day of the first month, and the enrollment exam of No. 1 Middle School is on the twelfth day of the first month, and both of them have heavy learning tasks.
Gu Yunkai's family leave this time was very long, and he didn't leave until the twentieth day of the first month, so it was inconvenient for him to go to the dormitory, so he went to the night school every day to see his sister and brother and bring them something to eat.
The small white building of the night school is on the same street as the city government and the family compound of the city government, and it is very convenient to walk for five minutes.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Zhou Xiaoan went to night school alone after dinner, Zhou Xiaoquan made an appointment with her, went back to pick her up at half past eight and sent her back to the factory.
Wang Lamei and Zhou Xiaoling were hospitalized, they were beaten by Mrs. Wang, and Zhou Xiaoquan had to take care of them.
Zhou Xiaoan also went over once, brought two bottles of canned food, stood for a moment and left.
When she went, Mrs. Wang was about to rush in and beat Zhou Xiaoling, she didn't dare to stay longer, she just had a reason to go.
Wang Lamei's injuries were beaten by Mrs. Wang, but not intentionally.
Of course, Mrs. Wang will not beat her filial and obedient baby girl, she is beating the broom star Zhou Xiaoling, Wang Lamei went to stop it, and was injured by mistake, was hit on the back of the head by a small bench, fell into a coma on the spot, had a severe concussion, sometimes awake and sometimes confused, and had to be hospitalized for observation.
I have to say that Mrs. Wang is really tough, she knocked her daughter unconscious on the spot, and she was able to give Zhou Xiaoling a small bench in one go, so that Zhou Xiaoling also lay in the hospital.
Zhou Xiaoan was actually a little apprehensive when she mentioned this, and after the winter, she asked Zhou Xiaoquan to send Aunt Ge three catties of cornmeal that she had promised, and gave her an extra half catty of sugar, expressing that she was very satisfied with her work.
Aunt Ge once again gave full play to her excellent professional ethics of conscience in the industry and gave Zhou Xiaoan a big thanksgiving feedback.
I don't know what she told Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang beat her up the day before Zhou Xiaoling's entrance exam, burned all her study utensils, and said that she wouldn't let her go out the next day, saying that if she left the house, the Wang family's male would have a bloody disaster, so that Zhou Xiaoling missed the entrance exam.
Zhou Xiaoling tried her best to ask for tuition, worked hard for a year, and finally stopped outside the examination room, all in vain.
Since then, Zhou Xiaoling and Mrs. Wang have formed a mortal enmity.
It is manifested in the fact that Mrs. Wang almost didn't get pushed to the bottom of the steps and fell to death once when she went to the street, once she didn't know what she ate and almost didn't have diarrhea and died, and once she didn't know why the stove was not sealed well and she almost died of gas poisoning.
It's all almost, I don't know if it's Mrs. Wang's luck or Zhou Xiaoling's bad luck.
If Mrs. Wang doesn't die, Zhou Xiaoling will be unlucky.
Mrs. Wang has always acted simply and rudely, and when she got the opportunity, she attacked Zhou Xiaoling, these two people are Wang Lamei's top hearts, she was in a dilemma in the middle, and finally got herself into the hospital. (To be continued.) )
