Liuli was helpless, Zhou Xiaoshu had been running outside for a year, and now he has learned to tease people: "Have you planned everything?" ”

"Erniang, don't worry, we won't delay opening the foot shop, I also found the group of people who repaired the house for the Song family last time, just come back halfway and keep an eye on it." Zhou Xiaoshu said.

"I'm not worried about this," Liuli smiled, "It's that if you want to build a house and can't leave for a while, it's okay to slow down the affairs of the foot shop, but your family is all planned?" ”

The Zhou family's parents are not fuel-efficient lamps, if they knew that Zhou Xiaoshu had the money to build a house, they would definitely not give up, and even if the house was built as they wished, would these two people let Zhou Xiaoshu's brothers and sisters live still?

"Besides, you are often outside, and most of the houses are built and Xiaocao lives alone, when your parents come to the door, how can Xiaocao deal with it?" Liuli said again.

"I'm not afraid of them." Zhou Xiaocao said suddenly.

Zhou Xiaoshu touched his sister's head and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Erniang, don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it." ”

Zhou Xiaoshu now has a fixed amount of money to his parents every month, which is enough for their daily expenses, and it is not too much. If they save money and save money, whatever they do, Zhou Xiaoshu will not ask.

Naturally, if it is squandered before the time comes, Zhou Xiaoshu will not give it again, and he will not give new money until next month.

In the middle of this year, Zhou's mother once fell in love with a gilded hairpin, so she bought it with the remaining silver money at home, and it was just in time for Zhou Xiaoshu to be at home, so she dared to touch the silver taels, thinking that the flowers were gone, and then asked her son for some.

What I didn't expect was that Zhou Xiaoshu didn't give half a penny, no matter how his parents told him, he didn't let go, and only asked Zhou's mother to return the hairpin and exchange it for money, otherwise he would wait to starve to death.

Although the words were not so ugly, but this is what it meant, Zhou's mother cried at the time, saying that Zhou Xiaoshu was not filial, and he was dressed decently, but he was not even willing to buy a hairpin for his mother, and finally put down the cruel words: "The old lady just doesn't return this hairpin, and we can't see if your kid can really starve to death." ”

Zhou Xiaoshu couldn't bear to be disturbed, went out to hide for a day and a night, and it was already noon the next day when he came back. The parents of the Zhou family swept away the few leftover food rations in the family, and at the moment they were already hungry with their chests against their backs, seeing that Zhou Xiaoshu finally came back, they thought that he would bring back food to eat, but they didn't want to really come back empty-handed.

Zhou's mother cried again, saying that Zhou Xiaoshu murdered his parents and deliberately didn't give him food, and Zhou Xiaoshu went out of the house again, but this time he came back quickly, and he was still carrying a bag of things in his hand.

The eyes of the Zhou family's parents were already hungry, and the hungry tiger snatched the things in Zhou Xiaoshu's hand like a hungry tiger, only to see that there were two large pieces of bean cakes - cakes made of dregs after squeezing the oil from beans and mixing a very small amount of coarse noodles, which tasted tasteless at all, and raised their throats.

This thing is the year of the Great Famine, and the things that the common people use to feed their stomachs can only be said to ensure that they will not die of hunger. The Zhou family's parents still ate it when they were young, and now they haven't seen each other for decades.

"Can this be eaten by people?!" Father Zhou screamed at that time.

And Zhou Xiaoshu's attitude is very clear, he loves to eat or not, and he starves to death if he doesn't eat.

At that time, it was in the middle of the Yue month, and the Zhou family's parents ate bean cakes for half a month, and in the end they really would rather starve to death than take another look, and finally survived until the new month, and Zhou Xiaoshu gave the silver money.

The Zhou family's parents can be regarded as enlightened, and since then, they have never dared to spend all their money at once.

Before building the house, Zhou Xiaoshu had already told them directly, and told them that they were not allowed to go to the new house to make trouble, and the condition was to increase the silver money by one or two taels every month. If he didn't listen, or if he heard from someone later that his parents were restless, then don't blame him for stopping his monthly money.

The so-called economic sanctions, Zhou Xiaoshu can be regarded as the right medicine.

"Actually, I want to build a house, but I also want Xiaocao to live in it." Zhou Xiaoshu said again.

Zhou Xiaocao is getting older every year, and he, who is an older brother, has to think about his sister's future, although everyone knows that Zhou Xiaocao is no longer the girl bought by Liuli, and he has already paid off the original three taels of silver.

But outsiders don't know, seeing that Zhou Xiaocao is still living in the Song family and living with the Song family, she still treats her as a girl bought by Liuli, and she is an inferior person with no free body.

This time he has his own house, and he said that Xiaocao has been redeemed, and slowly people will know, and when Xiaocao should say goodbye, everyone will not be inferior to Xiaocao.

"I understand your thoughts," Ruri said, "but if you are not at home all the year round, Xiaocao will not be safe to live alone." ”

"That's why I planned to build a house next to Erniang's house," Zhou Xiaoshu said, slightly surprised, "I have an idea, but I still need Erniang's permission." ”

"What an idea, you say."

"It's that I want to open a door next to the new house, which leads directly to the Song family, so that when I go out and am not at home in the future, I will let Xiaocao come to live here."

It's just that when you come through the door inside, outsiders can't see it.

How do you look like an underground worker, Liuli smiled: "What's wrong with this, when the time comes, open a door on the backyard wall and connect it to your new house." ”

"That's great." Zhou Xiaoshu said happily, and raised his glass to toast Liuli.

A Chinese New Year's Eve dinner also finalized a major event by the way, and then several people ate and chatted again, and unconsciously reached dusk.

In the evening, it is the traditional program of the Song family, fighting the landlord to keep the New Year.

This year, Ruri has created a new way of playing, and the loser drinks soup, which evolved from the gameplay of drinking cold water in her previous life. In the second period of the previous life, when playing cards with friends, the loser either stickers or drank cold water, but the paper here is expensive, and it is easy to afford it.

In this winter, Liuli is not happy to drink cold water, and there is a pot of egg soup on the stove, and whoever loses will have to drink a whole bowl.

Liuli is full of luck today, the cards are not weak, occasionally one or two bad cards, the same team is also a good card, can take her to win, all night down, is a mouthful of soup did not drink.

Then there is Amber who drank the least, there were three or four bowls, Coral and Zhou Xiaoshu were the two worst, almost taking turns to drink, and Coral's little belly was bulging while playing, while running to the toilet.

The Spring Festival of the Song family was lively, and Liuli was even more proud, and couldn't help but remember that when he played with someone in the past, whether it was Go or fighting the landlord, he had never won against him.

"I don't know what happened to him at home in Jingzhong now." Liuli thought a little sadly in her heart.
