Chapter 10: This Hot Summer (1)

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it has entered the hot summer.

Dabao was in the middle of summer vacation, and there was no summer homework at that time. Every day, he wore shirtless pants and played wildly with a few boys of about the same age in the village, and disappeared after a few mouthfuls of food at dawn in the morning. Wait until noon to eat and go home for lunch, and then it will be dark to see the human figure.

Zhao Yuzhen couldn't control him, so she just followed him, thinking that the half-grown son of someone's family was not this virtue. also hoped that Dabao could do something for him, but he was ordered to take Xiaobao out to play.

Dabao was reluctant and didn't dare to disobey his mother's order, so he had to go out with a fart. However, five times out of ten, Xiaobao came home by himself, and said aggrievedly that his brother only cared about playing with him and ignored him.

Zhao Yuzhen had no choice but to let Zhou Xiaoyun take Xiaobao with her.

Zhou Xiaoyun obediently agreed, she has behaved very well in front of her parents recently, and knows that her father goes out every day to go to the countryside to find business to earn her tuition.

However, there are very few people who kill pigs at this time, and the meat is easy to spoil in summer, so everyone waits until the winter to fatten the pigs and then slaughter them. Unless there is a family marrying a daughter-in-law, an old man dies of a birthday, etc., he is willing to slaughter the pig that has been raised for more than half a year and is not fat.

So Father Zhou didn't gain much, and his face didn't look good when he went home. Wandering around all day on a hot day often comes home with nothing, which makes me more and more upset.

Zhou Xiaoyun was very eye-catching, and before Father Zhou could sit down, a towel soaked in cold water was handed over to Father Zhou to wipe his sweat and cool off.

Just after wiping the sweat, a glass of cold boiled water was handed to Zhou's father's mouth again. Father Zhou's anger had already disappeared, and when a cup of cold tea was served, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared, and he was excited to think about where to go around the next day.

Father Zhou said to Zhao Yuzhen behind his back: "Her mother, you see how sensible our eldest girl is, I think even Xiaoxia is not as good as her." "Xiaoxia is the same age as Dabao, and she is the eldest daughter of his eldest brother Zhou Guofu's family.

Zhao Yuzhen nodded in agreement, but she didn't doubt that her daughter was any different from before. Just thinking that her daughter is not short, she talks and does things like a Tao, and she looks like she is seven or eight years old:

"Maybe the child has grown up and opened his mind, and besides, girls are already in the mood earlier than boys. Dabao is nine years old, and he still doesn't know what to look like, but the eldest girl looks like his sister. ”

The husband and wife laughed for a while, and unanimously came to the conclusion: Daya is a sensible and good child, don't bother her too much, you have to take care of the other children, especially Dabao.

Zhou Xiaoyun naturally didn't know what her parents were thinking, she would never have thought that her good performance would make her parents pay less attention to her, and she would regret it when she realized it in the future.

Now she is immersed in the joy of her upcoming school, and after breakfast every day, she does not wait for Zhao Yuzhen's instructions, and consciously takes her younger brother Xiaobao to put ducks.

She also specially brought Dabao's first-grade textbook to the pond to read. When the ducks entered the pond, she put the bamboo pole aside and found a shaded place with the sun on her back, so that Xiaobao could play casually nearby. I picked up the textbook that I hadn't touched for a long time and started to look at it.

Fortunately, there are several children who put ducks, and Xiaobao found a partner after a while, a boy named Xiaoshi from the Liu family in the same village, and he had a lot of fun.

The textbooks have long been used by Dabao in tatters, and the cats and dogs are drawn everywhere, and I can't see that Dabao actually has some talent for painting.

Zhou Xiaoyun had a thought in his heart, why not guide his brother's hobbies upwards and let him have a certain temperament

In his previous life, his elder brother went to school for three days to fish, and two days to dry nets, loved to fight and skip school, and refused to go to school again until the second year of junior high school.

When he grew up, he fooled around with three friends and four friends, and when he was twenty-six, he found an old girl from a neighboring country and got married. After marriage, it is common for the two to fight and quarrel, which makes the family uneasy.

Dabao now has this sprout, and he can still collect his personality when he is a child, and it will be too late in a few years. However, this has to be done slowly and planned.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Xiaoyun focused his attention on the textbook. A math textbook is nothing more than knowing numbers, simple addition and subtraction, which naturally makes it difficult for you. However, the Chinese pinyin in the Chinese textbook has not been exposed for many years, and it is a little rusty.

“aoe……”

She read it softly, thinking that she should read the book in its entirety before the start of school anyway, in her previous life, she was only a medium student, and she rarely received praise from the teacher, but now she had to study hard for high scores to satisfy her vanity.

"Big girl, big girl," someone slapped him heavily behind him, and when he looked back, it was his cousin Zhou Xiaoxia: "What are you looking at?" I shouted at you several times and you didn't hear you. ”

Zhou Xiaoxia is also nine years old, two months older than Dabao, in the same class. Zhou Xiaoxia is half a head taller than Zhou Xiaoyun, wearing a cotton flower skirt, two pigtails on her head, and a pair of new sandals on her feet, looking delicate and cute.

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at the old short-sleeved undershirt and shorts on his body, plus some old sandals, and felt a little inferior.

Uncle knows carpenter's skills, often makes furniture for others, and occasionally makes some ready-made products to sell, and his family is much stronger than himself. In addition to Zhou Xiaoxia, there is also a seven-year-old boy named Haizi, whose big name is Zhou Zhihai.

Zhou Xiaoyun has been following Zhou Xiaoxia since she was a child, picking up her old clothes and shoes to wear, until she was fourteen years old, she was taller than her cousin, and she had the right to buy new clothes.

Zhou Xiaoyun showed the book in his hand to Zhou Xiaoxia: "I'm reading Dabao's textbook, I'm going to go to the first grade when school starts, and my parents have promised me." ”

"Really," Zhou Xiaoxia became interested, found a slightly clean place and sat down cautiously: "You are three years younger than me, one year younger than my brother Haizi, he doesn't want to go to school, my father told him to let him go to the first grade, he has been making trouble at home for a long time and refuses to go, not to mention going next year." My dad couldn't help it, so he had to follow him. How do you want to study, it's so enjoyable to play at home for more than two years, and going to school is the most boring. ”

Zhou Xiaoxia pouted, feeling a little incredible.
