Chapter 4: Breaking the Dilemma
"Take it."
The young man was a little shy, his white face was red, and under Zhou Mi's staring gaze, the red extended from his face to his ears and neck, looking a little cute.
As a girl with the soul of a thirty-one-year-old aunt, no matter how cute and beautiful this young man is, Zhou Mi's old heart will not beat more.
"Thanks, but my dad bought the meat."
Returning to their parents with their younger siblings, Zhou's father pried open the cap of the bottle for them, handed one bottle to Zhou Mi, and the other to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Mi handed it to Zhou Peng.
Zhou Peng cheered, took a small sip carefully, and his eyes were shining with excitement: "It's so sweet!" ”
"Sister! To give! ”
Zhou Mi took it and handed it to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu also took a sip, so sweet that her eyes narrowed, and then Zhou Ting also took a sip, and finally Zhou Mi.
Zhou Mi took a sip and handed it back to Zhou Peng, and the four sisters and brothers drank a bottle of orange juice in one gulp, and they were still unsatisfied.
Seven-year-old Zhou Yu didn't miss a drop of the bottle in his hand.
Zhou Mi stretched out her hand towards Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu immediately handed her the orange juice: "Sister, give it." ”
Zhou Mi held it up to Li Ying: "Mom, you and Dad drink this bottle." ”
Li Ying was stunned, her eyes moistened, and in the expectant eyes of the children, the husband and wife took a sip, then handed it to Zhou Peng, and the family drank the bottle of orange juice together.
The sun seemed to collect all the heat and become cooler at once.
After drinking the orange juice, Zhou Mi took her younger brothers and sisters back to make lunch first.
The two brothers of the Zhou family, when Zhou's father and Zhou's mother got married, the Zhou family was divided, Zhou Mi's family was assigned to a large room, the kitchen was later built by Zhou's father, and the hall was still shared.
Two years ago, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother went out to find a way to live, entrusted the four children to Zhou Mi's grandparents to help take care of them, and sent two hundred yuan a month to the sisters and brothers for living expenses, but the money never reached Zhou Mi's hands, and it was all intercepted by his grandfather.
The sisters and brothers surrounded the meat with green eyes full of green light, saliva was about to drip down, and Zhou Peng even touched it: "Sister, this is meat?" ”
"Yes, it's meat, uncooked meat." Zhou Mi lowered her head, her nose sour.
When cutting the meat, Zhou Peng kept staring at it, and let him eat a piece first, but he shook his head: "Wait for Mom and Dad to come back and eat together." ”
Stir-fried the meat and vegetables, brought the dishes to the table and covered them, Zhou Ting and Zhou Yu also washed the family's clothes and dried them, and the sisters and brothers looked around the bowl of meat for a while, covered it, and sat at the door with a bench waiting for their parents to come back.
Li Ying and Zhou Zhiguang came back not long after, and the sisters and brothers fetched water, fetched water, fetched food, and moved stools and stools, all of them were so sensible that they were distressing.
After drinking orange juice before, and having meat for lunch, the sisters and brothers were very happy, but they were humble to each other when they ate, and Zhou Peng also gave Zhou Zhiguang the largest piece of fat meat: "Dad, eat!" ”
Zhou Zhiguang finished eating in one bite and quietly turned his back on his face.
Zhou Mi pondered for a while, found the right time and said: "Dad, Mom, I want to go to the industrial zone in the afternoon to have a look, our teacher said that when entering junior high school, you should submit an essay, and if you write well, you can be assigned to a key class." ”
Li Ying turned his head to Zhou Zhiguang and said, "Then you can take them out for a walk in the afternoon, the industrial area is not far away." ”
Zhou Zhiguang hesitated a little: "What is going on in that field......"
"It's okay, I can do it."
Zhou Ting looked left and right, and suddenly raised her hand: "I don't have to write essays, I'll help you, Mom." ”
Zhou Yu and Zhou Peng also said that they would also stay to help Li Ying, and Zhou Mi proposed: "Dad, you send me to the industrial zone and come back, and you will pick me up when they get off work." The teacher said that it is better to experience it yourself, and parents should not be involved. ”
Zhou Zhiguang believed: "Okay, I'll send you over at three o'clock in the afternoon, be careful yourself, don't go with strangers, don't eat strangers' things, A-Ying, you boil some boiling water, cool it and let her take it in a bottle." ”
After eating, Zhou Mi went to wash the dishes, and a young man's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Is Uncle Zhou at home?" ”
