Zhao Yuzhen was overjoyed when she saw Zhou Guoqiang borrowing money, and asked quietly: "Dad, how much did the child's aunt borrow from us?" Is there a hundred? ”

Zhou Guoqiang proudly took out the money in his pocket and asked Zhao Yuzhen to count: "You can count it yourself." ”

Zhao Yuzhen counted one by one very carefully, and after counting it once, she couldn't believe it and counted it again, it was still twenty pieces and ten yuan, she asked in surprise: "Dad, it's two hundred." Didn't you say you would borrow a hundred? I was still worried about what would happen if the child's aunt couldn't come up with so much cash for a while! ”

Zhou Guoqiang told Zhao Yuzhen the whole story of going to his sister's house, and finally emphasized: "...... It's not like I'm going to borrow more, I said I could borrow a hundred. The child said that he was afraid that we would not have the capital to collect pigs, so he lent us an extra 100 yuan, and we have to keep this favor in mind. ”

"What you're saying is that it's not easy to borrow money from anyone these days. I estimate that if your eldest brother can lend us ten or twenty yuan, he will not be able to pass the level of sister-in-law alone with so much money. ”

Zhao Yuzhen was grateful to her sister-in-law in her heart, it was difficult to borrow money, not everyone was so generous. Fortunately, my uncle has always been a good-natured person, and my sister-in-law is in charge, otherwise the couple would be embarrassed to open their mouths.

Zhou Guoqiang deeply sympathized with Zhao Yuzhen's words, the eldest brother and him are nothing after all, they are brothers and live next door, so they will not stand by and watch their younger brother, but the sister-in-law is a little difficult to say. She looks good at talking with a smile on her face, but she is stingy and shrewd in her heart, and she won't say anything if she borrows less to save face, and if she has more, she may say two ugly words that make people unable to get off the stage.

Now that the money is available, the biggest problem is solved, and the two discuss going to the city to buy a tricycle.

Zhao Yuzhen entrusted Xiaobao and Erya to Shen Huafeng to take care of them, and rode a car with Zhou Guoqiang to the county seat.

I went to the market and walked around the place where tricycles were sold for most of the day, and a total of several shops were turned around, and finally I finally bought a slightly larger tricycle. It cost more than one hundred and ten, which is a little more expensive, and it cost twenty more than the smaller one. But it can hold a lot of things, and the couple hesitated for a long time but decided to buy this. In the future, if you want to charge two more pigs, you can also fit it, and in the long run, you still won't save this money.

At noon, I went to the third child to have lunch, and the third and the third couple were surprised to see Zhou Guoqiang riding a brand-new tricycle, and when Zhou Guoqiang explained the purpose, both of them were happy. Zhou Guomin specially went to the cold food restaurant to buy some meat food and came back, and drank two glasses with Zhou Guoqiang.

When Zhou Guoqiang left, there was an extra stack of newspapers on the tricycle that Song Mingli asked to give to Zhou Xiaoyun, Zhao Yuzhen was busy expressing her gratitude, no matter how good things were, at least, people still put their daughters in their hearts, which made the mother's heart very warm.

Zhou Xiaoyun's grandmother took advantage of the third and Zhao Yuzhen to speak, quietly pulled Zhou Guoqiang aside, took out dozens of yuan from his body and stuffed it into her son's pocket: "Qiangzi, mom has so much in her hands, don't take it too little." ”

Zhou Guoqiang hurriedly waved his hand: "Mom, what are you doing here, you keep this money for yourself, I don't want it." It's enough for a son to not respect you, how can he still ask for your money. ”

Grandma forced the money into her pocket, and motioned to Zhou Guoqiang to be quieter and not let Zhou Guomin and them hear: "Son, your children are the poorest at most, and your mother can't help you, and she always worries about you all day long." You can use the money to do some business, not to talk about how much you earn, at least you have to feed your children and save some money to build a house. Mom, this old bone is also relieved. ”

No matter how old the son is, he is still a child in the eyes of his mother, and his grandmother has worried about her second son behind her back. Needless to say, the old family and the third family, the aunt of the daughter's family is also a master who can endure hardships and makes a lot of money. It's that the second son has many children, and his life is the most difficult, and he still lives in a grass house, how can he not let his grandmother be anxious!

Zhou Guoqiang, who was already moved and speechless, did not shirk his mother's kindness, said goodbye to the old couple and the third couple, and rode the newly bought tricycle and Zhao Yuzhen on the way home.

Zhao Yuzhen rode a bicycle beside him, and asked Zhou Guoqiang with some curiosity: "Dad, what did the child and his milk pull you to the side mysteriously?" ”

Zhou Guoqiang sighed: "Mom forced dozens of yuan to me, but I refused to ask for it, she had to let me take it." I'm ashamed to be a son. Over the years, after my father's death, my mother has been following the third child, and we have never honored anything. Now that she is still taking the private money she has saved, I blush when I think about it. ”

Zhao Yuzhen was also stunned when she heard it, no wonder the child was carrying the third child on his back, thinking about it, yes, they lived with the third child, and the food and clothing were all provided by the third child. I don't know how long it took my grandmother to save these dozens of dollars, but now I have paid them to my husband. Zhao Yuzhen accompanied her husband and sighed: "His father, the child is still good-hearted." Our family is like this, her old man is also anxious, we have to be hard, people can't be poor for a lifetime. ”

Zhou Guoqiang nodded, and secretly determined to work hard to make his family live a better life.

After arriving in the village, the brand-new tricycle attracted the attention of many fellow villagers.

Someone simply ran to Zhou Guoqiang's house to see, at this time it is very rare to have a tricycle. Besides, there are no entertainment activities for rural people, and the business of this and that family is everyone's business, and everyone loves to join in the fun.

Zhou Guoqiang's house was as lively as a bazaar for a while, and many people came to see the tricycle, including Zhou Guofu and Shen Huafeng.
