Chapter 389 Your status is probably even lower than ashes!
On the first day of the New Year, people could not worship their ancestors and there was not much work to do in the fields, so Zhou Chuanjing organized everyone to watch model operas in the cultural room.
This arrangement is in line with organizational policy and has won praise from the villagers.
Everyone brought their stools to the cultural room early to reserve seats, eating melon seeds and chatting about family matters...
It was rare for her two brothers to come home, so Nini wanted them to have more rest and try not to let Zhou Qingping and Zhou Qingan interfere in household matters.
At daybreak, Nini went to the cultural room, drew a big circle with charcoal, and wrote Zhou Rong and Zhou's father's names in it, indicating that this place belonged to her family.
After taking a good seat, she went home to make breakfast...
It is not popular to pay New Year's greetings now, so there is no need to give red envelopes to children. Zhou Qinghao and his family were very disappointed. They thought they could get a few red envelopes when they returned to their hometown, but it turned out that the policy was implemented to the end in the countryside just like in the city...
Zhou Qinghong learned from Zhou Jiaguang that his second aunt gave his grandparents 50 yuan for the New Year's holiday. Not wanting his parents to be gossiped about, she gave an additional 30 yuan to Zhou's mother, saying it was a small gift from her as a grandson.
Zhou's mother didn't want it and asked Zhou Qinghong to save it for himself and use it for marrying a wife in the future.
Zhou Qinghong said: "Grandma, it's still too early for me to get married! My mom wanted me to hand over my salary, but I didn't. I saved it all. If I save it for a few more years, it will definitely be enough to get married.
This is your New Year's gift. Please keep it and don't push it around. I, your grandson, don't lack money!"
Mother Zhou smiled and said, "My son Qinghong is really filial. I'll accept this money. When you get married, I'll buy you something."
Zhou Qinghong: "No, my parents should worry about my marriage, you and grandpa just need to drink at the wedding and don't need to buy anything for us."
This made everyone present laugh. Some praised him for being filial and sensible, while others laughed at him for growing up and wanting to get married...
After breakfast, Zhou Qingping handed Zhou Rong a passbook: "Our unit is a bit remote, so it's not convenient to send money. My salary is all in this passbook. The unit has good benefits, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are all covered for us. I don't have much to spend. You can spend this money as you like, and don't work so hard."
Zhou Rong took the passbook and looked at it. There was nearly 2000 yuan in it. He smiled and said, "I never thought I would be able to enjoy the blessing of my son so soon."
When Zhou Qingan heard this, he quickly took out a wad of money from his pocket and said, "I can't spend all the monthly subsidies from the school. If I go out on a mission, I will also receive allowances. This money is all saved by me. I will give it all to mom. From now on, my elder brother and I will support you together."
Zhou Rong said happily: "I accept your filial piety. With you around, I feel very at ease. I can stay in Zhoujiawan for the rest of my life."
Nini, feeling that she had accomplished nothing, stood in the corner, feeling extremely guilty.
Seeing that Nini was very disappointed, Zhou Rong held her hand and said, "You are still young and have plenty of opportunities to prove yourself. Your two brothers are not at home, and you stay by my side. I feel at ease. You are all very important."
Nini: "Well, I will accompany mom from now on."
After the model opera began, the children could not sit still. While the adults were concentrating on watching the opera, they ran out to play.
They hadn't been playing for long when Zhou Qinghao and Jiang Jiacheng started fighting.
The cause was that both men thought their cockfighting skills were better than the other’s, and so they began to fight, first with their knees, then with their hands.
When the other children from Zhoujiawan saw this, some cheered on the sidelines while others made fun of their poor skills.
The two men felt that their fight was a matter between brothers, so why should outsiders make a fuss?
The two decided to call a truce and join forces to teach those kids who made fun of them a lesson.
The way to teach a lesson is cockfighting.
They want to use technology to defeat the opponent!
But Zhou Qinghao and Jiang Jiacheng were defeated in less than one round. They were not convinced and went home to call for help.
Soon, Zhou Xiao, Shen Qingran, Zhou Qingxuan and all the other children living in Zhou's father's house, including the well-mannered Zhou Wei, also joined the cockfighting melee.
In this battle, both sides won and lost.
After the model opera, Zhou's parents returned home and saw that the children, who had been cleaned up in the morning, were now covered in dust and had messy hair. The younger children, such as Zhou Qin and Shen Shanqi, even had bumps on their heads.
Zhou's mother's head suddenly grew several sizes bigger.
After understanding what happened, all the children were punished by being made to stand in horse stance in the yard.
Zhou Jiaguang placed a bowl of water on the heads of Zhou Qinghao and Jiang Jiacheng, the two "culprits". If the water was spilled or the bowl was broken, they would have no lunch.
Jiang Jiacheng didn't want to be punished, so he first asked Jiang Linhai, who was sitting at the door drinking tea, to plead for him.
Jiang Linhai glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Stand up straight and do your best. If you dare to act naughty again, I will punish you more severely next time!"
Seeing his grandfather's attitude, Jiang Jiacheng shouted: "Grandma, help me, my legs are about to break."
Tian Huizhen in the room pretended not to hear and continued to tease the twins...
Jiang Jiacheng shouted for a long time, but his grandmother didn't come out. She pouted and looked unhappy.
Zhou Qinghao said with a smile: "Haven't you heard the saying? One child is a treasure, two children are weeds, and three children are just dirt. Your mother has given birth to four children, and the youngest two in your family are twins, a boy and a girl. They are so precious.
Your status is probably even lower than ashes!
You, save your energy, we only have to stand for an hour anyway, just bear with it, it will be over."
Jiang Jiacheng: "......"
Zhou Qing'an needs to take a two-day train ride to return to school, as he will leave home in the third year of junior high school.
Zhou Rong filled his luggage bag with food, some for him to eat on the train and some for Lu Jianping.
Military academies are not greatly affected by the policy at present. They only conduct routine studies every day and do not hold any general meetings.
In June, the school will arrange a position for Zhou Qing'an, and Zhou Rong hopes that Lu Jianping can take care of her son...
Zhou Rong wanted to go to Jiangcheng Railway Station to see his son off, but Zhou Qing'an didn't want his mother to be tired, so he joked, "As a soldier, I will be laughed at if I need my mother to send me off. I will write to you when I get to school."
Zhou Rong: "Okay, be careful on the road."
Zhou Jiaguang and Zhou Qinghong's vacation was over, so they returned to Jiangcheng with Zhou Qing'an.
Zhou's mother prepared a lot of farm specialties such as peanuts, soybeans, eggs, pheasants, and rabbits for Zhou Jiaguang. Some of them were saved by the family, and some were exchanged with others. She asked him to take them to the Xiao family to fulfill his promise to Xiao Jingjing.
In addition, Zhou's mother also asked Zhou Jiaguang to take Zhou Qinghao and others away.
These kids get into trouble when they are together. Her head has hurt so many times in the past few days. It is better to let them go back to their own homes so that she can have some peace and quiet...
Mother Zhou brought some peanuts, eggs, bacon and other food to Xie Cuilian and Chen Moli.
The two daughters-in-law took the initiative to give New Year's money. No matter how much it is, it is a thoughtful gesture.
As a mother-in-law, she must return the gift so that the relationship can be harmonious...
