CHAPTER XIV
There are three scrap yards, Zhou An ignored the two next to him and walked towards the third. Most of the first two rooms are useless calligraphy and paintings or "gems", furniture, etc., and the books and materials that Zhou An wants to find are generally in the third room. Originally, Zhou An also wanted to pick up a leak in this special era, but he almost rummaged through the scrap yard and didn't find anything valuable, and then Zhou An gave up, anyway, even if he didn't pick up the leak, Zhou An believed that he could live well in the future with his own efforts.
Opening the door of the third house, there was a musty smell in front of him, Zhou An hurriedly covered his face with a piece of cloth in his pocket, and gasped fiercely, fortunately he had been prepared, thinking that no one had cleaned it for a long time here, he prepared a cloth in advance, which proved to be very useful, and the soap smell on the cloth completely covered the musty smell in the house.
Zhou An tried his best to ignore the dust floating in the air that was particularly obvious in the sun, looked around, and found the most suitable place to start.
Among the messy books, the neat stacks of books were like pearls in the dark, attracting Zhou An's attention.
Zhou An looked at it, the handwriting was beautiful, it should be a girl, it was from elementary school to high school, it really didn't take any effort, this was just the beginning, and he actually completed half of the task, it was a feeling of disbelief. He's just opened a stack of books!
However, maybe the good luck was used up, Zhou An didn't find the second set of high school textbooks next, but this is understandable, after all, the life here is not spacious, and there are relatively few people who are willing to support their children to go to high school, and there are still relatively few girls who are sent to school by their families like just now, and it seems that the girl is still more favored.
Originally, Zhou An planned to do it in half an hour, but he didn't expect to find the second set of books in an hour, and when he found the books, Zhou An almost cried with joy.
Just when Zhou An was about to leave this place that had left him a shadow, Zhou An glanced at it casually, and his eyes suddenly froze in one place, this is ......
"Now, look at how much it costs?" Zhou An put the book in his hand on the ground, and suddenly stirred up a burst of dust.
The old king turned over casually and rubbed his hands, "Two cents, you know, I never charge indiscriminately when you come." ”
Zhou An knew that Lao Wangtou must not be telling the truth, but he didn't care, and took out two cents from his pocket and put it on the table, "Find a rope, I can tie the book to the car." ”
The old king answered, and randomly found a rope that looked strong from a pile of things, and he didn't need Zhou An to get started, he helped Zhou An tie it tightly.
Of course, Zhou An didn't mean to get started at all, he asked Lao Wangtou to find a rope just to ask Lao Wangtou to help, otherwise there would be a lot of ropes in the house.
It was another transaction that both parties were satisfied with, Zhou An didn't care whether Lao Wangtou's money was recorded in the book or swallowed it privately, and Lao Wangtou never cared about what Zhou An took and how many things, just because the people on both sides "didn't care", they facilitated transactions again and again, win-win things, who doesn't want to do it?
However, the corners of Zhou An's mouth hooked a touch of arc at an angle that the old king's head couldn't see, this time, he still earned blood! I didn't expect to come so many times before and didn't find anything good, this time I came to find a few books and there would be an unexpected gain, my daughter-in-law is really my own lucky star!
The supply and marketing cooperatives will never be short of people, although they are far worse than the stores of later generations, but in this era, the supply and marketing cooperatives are really complete!
Zhou An and Zhou Xiuqin came before, and they didn't have stage fright at all, so they walked directly to the counter of alabaster, and the alabaster cost three cents a box, which is still relatively expensive, but Zhou An didn't care about it, and took two boxes directly. There are also small snacks next to it, and now the small snacks are all natural, Zhou An looks good, and bought several kinds in one go.
Out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou An's pockets are almost cleaner than his face, this is Zhou An's pocket money that has been saved for several months. As for the pocket money before? Don't say it, it's all tears, and the new clothes in Zhou An's closet are the reason why Zhou An is now leaving sad tears.
Originally, Zhou An still wanted to give things to Chen Yan quietly without being discovered by his family, but he didn't expect Zhou An to find that there was no one at home after thinking all the way.
Chen Yan has been staying at Zhou An's house, so as soon as Zhou An came back, he saw Chen Yan and immediately smiled, "Xiaoyan, why are you here?" ”
Chen Yan's forehead was full of sweat at noon, and Zhou An was distressed to see it, if he wasn't afraid that his family would find out, Zhou An wanted to pull Chen Yan into the house to cool off.
Chen Yan's mouth was a little cracked, and she could feel some pain when she licked her lips, but Chen Yan didn't notice this at all, grabbed Zhou An's hand and said, "I met your second sister-in-law when I took leave to return to Zhiqing Point today, she seems to be about to give birth, and now your family is in the hospital, you should also hurry up and take a look." ”
Chen Yan panicked when Zeng Aiqiao fainted, and finally had no choice but to leave her to call someone, fortunately someone passed by, Chen Yan hurriedly called someone to help send someone to the hospital. Chen Yan didn't go, and she couldn't help if she went, so it was better to stay here and wait for Zhou An to come back and tell Zhou An.
What the? The second sister-in-law is about to give birth? Zhou An guessed that Zeng Aiqiao might be born in the next few days, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, so he was inevitably a little surprised. Thinking that his second sister-in-law, who was usually very good to him, was now in the hospital, Zhou An couldn't wait to rush to the hospital, and he didn't know what was going on now.
"Okay, Xiaoyan, I see, thank you." Zhou An did something that he had been thinking about for a long time, rubbed Chen Yan's fluffy little head, turned the car and ran away.
Chen Yan didn't react for a while, and when Chen Yan reacted, she only saw Zhou An's back running away, and Chen Yan's face turned red a little bit when Zhou An couldn't see it.
Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of Chen Yan's eyes, and when she looked up, it turned out to be Zhou An, and she was startled, "Why did you come back, did you forget to take something?" ”
Zhou An also remembered halfway that he forgot to hand over the things to Chen Yan, Zhou An was really anxious, stuffed the snacks and alabaster into Chen Yan's hands, and left in a hurry again, without even saying a word.
But Chen Yan didn't care at all, she could see that Zhou An was really anxious, but in this case, Zhou An still didn't forget herself, which can already explain a lot of problems.
Many people think that girls are unpredictable, they make a lot of noise because of a trivial matter, and they will jump up happily because of a gift. Only the girls themselves know that what they care about is not what they care about, but the attitude of the boys, whether a boy loves you or not, you can see it when he is at his lowest and most anxious.
There is no doubt that at this moment, all the suspicions in Chen Yan's heart disappeared. When a woman has a sense of security, she will feel happy.
Zhou An rushed to the hospital as fast as he could in his life.
The hospital is a rare "high-rise building", and it is very lively to come and go.
"Comrade Zeng Aiqiao's family is there."
Zhou An thanked the kind little nurse who led the way, and walked briskly in the direction she pointed.
Zeng Aiqiao was the first to see Zhou An, "Anzi, you are here, sit down, tired, sweaty." ”
Zeng Aiqiao had just woken up, her face was still a little pale, and her lips were dry and flaky.
Zhou An didn't sit down, took the kettle and took a pot of water and handed it to Zeng Aiqiao, "What about the second uncle?" "He has been here for a long time, and he hasn't seen Zhou Guodong, according to Zhou Guodong's temperament, he shouldn't be.
Zhou Xiuqin also felt sorry for her grandson, so she hurriedly took the water and pulled Zhou An to sit down, "He, he went to buy food, and he hasn't come back yet." ”
Zeng Aiqiao's face also had a helpless smile.
Zhou An looked at Zeng Aiqiao's face and said, "Second aunt, it's okay, I heard that you fainted." ”
Zeng Aiqiao shook her head and said, "It's okay, thanks to a knowledgeable youth, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't know what it would be like now." The doctor said it was fine, probably because the qi and blood were not good, so he fainted. Although it's okay now, if you don't send it in time, your grandson will fall ill in the future. After I go back, I want to thank her, that little intellectual, who is not in good health, go back and find some brown sugar to make up for her. ”
Zhou Xiuqin didn't know about it, so she nodded again and again, "Of course, I have to thank people, there is still a lot of brown sugar at home, I will take two packets of them when the time comes, and I will send them when I go back, do you know what that educated youth is called?" ”
Although Zeng Aiqiao is fine, but she is about to give birth, the doctor recommended hospitalization, Zhou Xiuqin thought that Zeng Aiqiao's fetus looked really dangerous, gritted her teeth and agreed, and later Zhou Xiuqin would go back to get something, just send some brown sugar to thank others.
Zeng Aiqiao really didn't know what the name of the person who saved him was, "It should be the later educated youth, I know all the previous educated youth." ”
"It's Chen Yan," Zhou An blurted out, "it must be her." ”
Zhou Xiuqin looked at Zhou An suspiciously and said, "How do you know?" Do you know people? ”
Zeng Aiqiao also looked at Zhou An with burning eyes.
Only then did Zhou An realize that his behavior just now was too suspicious.
Although Chen Yan didn't tell Zhou An that she had saved Zeng Aiqiao just now, Zhou An's intuition was Chen Yan, plus Chen Yan said that she had met Zeng Aiqiao in the morning, all of this was too coincidental, Zhou An determined the answer immediately, and he was excited and said that he leaked his mouth.
Zhou An smiled awkwardly, "No, only Chen Yan asked me for leave today, so I guess it will be her." ”
Zhou Xiuqin said: "Really? "Why does she think Zhou An has something to hide from herself? However, Zhou Xiuqin didn't ask much, her grandson has grown up and has his own little secrets, which is also normal.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Zhou An, "Xiao An, you're here too, haven't you eaten yet?" I just bought it, how about trying the food in the hospital. ”
It's not the first time Zhou An has eaten a hospital meal, he was not in good health in another time and space before, and he can be regarded as a regular customer of the hospital, but Zhou An is the first time to eat this kind of hospital meal in the seventies and eighties.
Zhou An took the lunch box in Zhou Guodong's hand, opened it and saw that there was a white-flour steamed bun, a wheat steamed bun, and a little pickles.
