Chapter 111 Why doesn’t mother understand him?
Zhou Rong took the letter from his mother, read it, and smiled.
"Mom, you can't just look at the surface of this letter. I'll translate the deeper meaning for you."
Zhou's mother was puzzled: "Is there a deeper meaning?"
Zhou Rong said: "Of course! Qi Guang said that he missed you when he was in school, which means that he didn't pay attention in class, so after returning home, he often didn't do his homework.
Look at the typos in this letter. There are more than a dozen wrong words in just a few lines. It shows how careless he was in school.
He said he thought of you when he was washing clothes, sweeping the floor and washing dishes because he thought that if you were around, he wouldn't have to do these things at all.
He said that you forgot about him and wanted to trick you into going to the provincial capital to support him and escape from labor.
The slingshot mentioned in the letter was purely because he was tired of rolling hoops and spinning tops and wanted to try something different. He couldn't make it, and I didn't want to buy it, so I asked you to bring it to him."
Zhou's mother was stunned when she heard this, and asked in disbelief, "Is what Qi Guang's letter really saying what you said?"
Zhou Rong: "You have cherished your child for ten years, and yet you still don't understand him? When he was trying to please you and Dad, he wanted you to lighten his punishment, or he wanted you to clean up his mess after he did something bad."
Zhou's mother thought about it and felt that this was the case. She wiped the tears from her face and said calmly, "Then you can continue to reform him. Just don't hurt him."
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "He's my own brother, how could I really do that to him? At most I would punish him by asking him to copy his homework. The eldest kid has only finished three homework books, but he has already copied eight."
Mother Zhou: “…”
The next morning, Zhou Rong took Zhou Gui, Zhou Jiahua, Zhou Jiashun and Zhou Jiashan to Jiangcheng.
The construction site would not start work for another two days, so Zhou Rong first took everyone back to Chang'anli.
While riding the ferry, Zhou Jiashun looked at the price on the ticket and clicked his tongue twice: "I heard people say that it takes 10,000 yuan to cross the river before, and I thought it was bragging, but it turns out to be true."
Zhou Jiashan said with emotion: "The city is indeed magnificent, but everything costs money and everything is expensive. If my family is not short of money, I think Zhoujiawan is more comfortable than the city."
Zhou Jiashun: "Who in the countryside doesn't lack money? Unless you are a landlord, but now landlords don't have any land either, so they have to work in the fields like us.
Although things in the city are expensive, I have a fixed income every month and don’t have to worry about money. If I had to choose, I still want to stay in the city.
When I become famous, I will bring Xiaomei and the child here."
Zhou Jiashan: "You are right. I will also work hard. After things settle down, I will bring my parents and my older brother to live in the city."
Zhou Gui remained silent all the way, thinking that she also wanted to make a name for herself in the city and control her own destiny...
When they arrived in Chang'anli, Zhou Jiashun and Zhou Jiashan once again sighed that the city was better than the countryside.
Zhou Jiaguang and his friends had already finished school. He was very disappointed when he saw that Zhou's father and mother were not among the people who came.
After greeting everyone, he went to help Zhou Cai pick vegetables with a sigh.
Zhou Jiahua stopped Zhou Jiaguang, held him in his arms and weighed him, and joked, "You've gained a lot of weight. Big brother can hardly hold you anymore."
Zhou Jiaguang snorted and said, "That's your illusion. I go to school every day, and when I get home I have to do homework, sweep the floor, wash dishes, and practice martial arts. It's impossible for me to gain weight!"
Zhou Jiahua pinched his chubby face and said with a smile: "Yes, our Qi Guang has not gained weight, it's just that big brother can't hold him anymore."
When Zhou Jiaguang was about to leave angrily, Zhou Jiahua took out a slingshot from his pocket and stuffed it into his pocket, whispering, "My mother asked me to bring this to you. Don't let my elder sister find out."
Zhou Jiaguang held the slingshot with mixed feelings. Did he write that letter just to get the slingshot?
Why doesn’t mother understand him?
Did she really forget him? Or did she not like him at all? Or did she not understand the meaning of the letter?
It would be fine if mother didn’t come to the provincial capital herself, but why did she bring my second sister here?
Now, the "three mountains" are pressing down on him, and he will never be able to make a breakthrough...
Zhou Rong set up a bed in the bedroom on the first floor, and Zhou Jiahua and the others squeezed in there temporarily, while Zhou Gui and Zhou Cai slept in the same room.
The next day, Zhou Rong and Zhou Gui went to work in the clothing store. After Zhou Cai tidied up the house, she took Zhou Jiahua and the other two for a stroll nearby.
Zhou Cai would greet anyone who was a resident of Chang'anli and introduce the identities of Zhou Jiahua and the other two.
When they heard that they were Zhou brothers, everyone immediately became more polite, and they also expressed their admiration for the large number of Zhou family members. All the sons were strong and healthy, and they looked good at fighting.
Stay away from the Zhou sisters in the future and don't get yourself into trouble...
There was meat in every meal at Zhou Rong's house. Zhou Jiashun and Zhou Jiashan felt a little embarrassed, so they took the initiative to take on the work. They filled her water tank, chopped all the firewood, and went to the roof to pick up tiles, repairing and replacing all the tiles that were slightly damaged.
When Jiang Wenjuan saw this, she kept sighing that the Zhou family members were not only good at fighting, but also good at work. It would be great if their family had such descendants.
On Sunday, Zhou Rong took half a day off and took Zhou Jiahua, Zhou Jiashun and Zhou Jiashan to report to the construction site.
After completing the employment formalities, Zhou Rong told the three that if they encountered any troubles, they could go to Chang'an to find her, and to come to her house for dinner during holidays.
Zhou Jiashan said jokingly, "Sister Darong, you have treated us to delicious food these past few days. If my father knew that I was eating at your house again, he would definitely call me shameless."
Zhou Rong: "Brothers, it's too polite to say such things. You guys have helped me a lot these past two days. The firewood you chopped is enough for me to burn for a month.
My roof is leaking a little, and I wanted to find someone to fix it these days, but you guys did it for me, saving me a lot of money. I should be the one thanking you."
Zhou Jiashun: "We are one family, so we should not have different opinions. We will go to your place during the holidays. You can put aside all the heavy work and we will help you when we get there."
Zhou Rong: "Okay."
After Qi Yunkai's efforts, Zhou Gui got the admission quota.
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening, the three sisters go to night school together.
Zhou Rong rode a bicycle, Zhou Cai sat on the front bar, and Zhou Gui sat at the back holding Nini.
Nini said that her brother and uncle always scolded her for being a crybaby and she didn't want to play with them, so Zhou Rong had no choice but to continue taking her to school.
As long as the little girl had food, she would not cry or make a fuss, so Qi Yunkai and other classmates did not mind her staying in the class...
Zhou Gui studied very hard. In order to make up for the courses she had missed, she would study until very late every night by the kerosene lamp. If she didn't understand something, she would ask Zhou Rong and Zhou Cai.
She also did an excellent job in the clothing store. With her careful observation and eloquence, she increased the store's sales significantly. Xu Man was very satisfied with her.
He said that if she could maintain this momentum, he would give her a salary increase and dividends at the end of the year.
The three sisters of the Zhou family are taking root in the city step by step through their own efforts...
