After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 176 Zhou Zhou’s Abnormality

After the ship went to sea, Jiang Xia returned home and planted the flower seedlings and fruit tree seedlings.

The grapes planted earlier have already begun to climb up and occupy a corner of the grape trellis. They are green and have a tendency to develop rapidly.

Other fruit trees also sprouted new buds, looking lush and full of vitality. Some of the flowers planted in the corners are also blooming. Purple periwinkles and sunflowers are small and cute in the sunshine.

After Jiang Xia finished planting flower seedlings and fruit seedlings, she went to make lunch.

Zhou Chenglei's comrades brought a lot of things, including fruits, sausages, bacon and large ham. She made a claypot rice with cured meat, a plate of steamed dried golden pomfret with shredded ginger, a fried macaroni, and a seaweed, egg drop and winter melon soup.

Macaroni is the easiest to grow when the weather is hot, and will grow wildly if there is enough water. Other green leafy vegetables are difficult to grow. However, Beginning of Autumn has passed, and when the weather cools down, there are many green leafy vegetables to eat.

Jiang Xia saw that Zhou Zhou was a little uneasy after eating. After she finished eating, she washed a bunch of grapes for her to eat: "Zhou Zhou is not happy today?"

Zhou Zhou shook his head when he heard this: "No?"

Then she nodded again: "I miss my uncle. When will he come back?"

After hearing this, Jiang Xia thought she was worried because Zhou Chenglei went to sea. She comforted: "My uncle came back before the Mid-Autumn Festival. After Zhou Zhou finished eating the grapes, he went to sleep for a while before going to school, so that he would be more energetic in class. I will I woke you up, you know?"

Zhou Chenglei's third brother, Zhou Chengyan, followed the big ship out to sea and disappeared. That's why Zhou Zhou was uneasy, right?

Zhou Zhou nodded obediently, "Okay."

Jiang Xia went back to her room to translate. She was always serious about her work, until Zhou's mother's voice sounded outside: "Why hasn't Zhou Zhou gone to school yet? All the brothers have gone."

Zhou Zhou heard this and responded softly: "Let's go now."

Jiang Xia looked at the time and saw that it was only ten past one. School started at two o'clock, but the school opened at half past one.

Zhou Zhou usually goes to school around one o'clock.

Not only her, but also many children in the village like to go back to school early to play. A group of children were playing on the road while walking back to school.

There are also some students who have change with them and want to go to the school canteen early to buy something to eat.

Jiang Xia thought about how she gave Zhou Zhou a dollar as pocket money on the first day of school to prevent the school teacher from asking for any stationery. She had no money to buy it, and she didn't dare to ask the adults for it when she came back.

When Zhou Zhou was in preschool, all the stationery was leftover from his brothers. Of course, this can no longer be the case.

It had been several days since Zhou Zhou had been given pocket money. Jiang Xia put down her pen, took a dollar from the drawer, and walked out.

Jiang Xia has never raised children, but she has been a child. When she was a child, there was a time when she saw her classmates having money to buy snacks and she was particularly envious.

She saw that Guangzong Yaozu and his brothers often asked Tian Caihua and asked Zhou's father and Zhou's mother if they needed pocket money to buy snacks.

But Zhou Zhou is too sensible. She is afraid of causing trouble to adults and never asks them for pocket money.

Jiang Xia walked out and asked Zhou Zhou: "Zhou Zhou, do you want my aunt to take you to school on a bicycle? My aunt is free at home today."

Zhou Zhou shook his head: "No, I'll go with my classmates."

Jiang Xia just followed her.

Children in this era would invite classmates from the same village to walk to school together.

In some mountainous areas, children walk very far. It might be an exaggeration to say that it involves climbing mountains and wading in rivers, but it is pretty much the same. They all go to school by themselves.

However, Zhou's house is not far from the school. The school is next to the short mountain in the next village, and it only takes ten minutes to walk.

The sound of the school broadcast can also be heard at home.

Jiang Xia put one yuan in her schoolbag and warned: "This is this week's pocket money. If Zhou Zhou wants to eat or needs to buy anything, just buy it yourself. If the teacher has asked you to buy school supplies, you don't have enough." Come back and tell your little aunt, and she will give you some more money, you know?”

Zhou Zhou moved her lips, wanting to refuse, but in the end she didn't. She nodded, and then said: "I'm going to school, grandma, see you soon, little aunt!"

Jiang Xia rubbed her head and said with a smile: "Be careful on the road and remember to wear a hat."

Zhou Zhou nodded obediently and went out.

It was just that after she walked out of the village, she walked slower and slower. She waited until there were no more classmates on the road. Guessing that class was about to begin, she speeded up and ran to school.

The class bell rang at this time, and Zhou Zhou ran into the classroom panting, sat down, and breathed a sigh of relief.

After two classes in the afternoon, there was a third free activity class.

Zhou Zhou did not go to the playground to play, but did his homework in the classroom. Suddenly, several senior boys came to the classroom and came to Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou's face turned pale and his body was trembling.

"Classmate, where is the money?"

Zhou Zhou held the schoolbag in the drawer tightly and shook his head: "No."

A boy saw it, grabbed Zhou Zhou's schoolbag, opened it and turned it over, found a dollar inside, and threw the schoolbag on the table.

"Bring the money over tomorrow, and don't tell the adults, or I'll beat you!"

After several boys got the money, they ran away in a hurry.

After several people ran out of the classroom, they came to the foot of a big tree outside the playground.

The person holding the one dollar asked: "Brother Qiang, is she really not going to tell the adults at home?"

There was a senior boy of about eleven or twelve years old waiting under the tree: "Don't worry, she is too timid to tell anyone. Besides, she has no parents and no one cares about her. Where is the money?"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"No one cares about her, so how can she have money?" He gave him a dollar.

"She can secretly take it from home! Her brother-in-law's family is very rich. He is the only one in our village who owns a big boat. Today, his brother-in-law also sailed a big boat out to sea. People who go out to sea don't go home for ten and a half days! What are you afraid of? Let’s go buy some doll paper.”

The boy who spoke took the money and pursed his lips.

Zhou Zhou's aunt caused his grandmother to be arrested, and his father did not dare to go home for fear of being arrested.

They caused him no one to give him pocket money now!

So isn't it fair that he takes the little bastard's money to spend?

…

Jiang Xia worked as a translator at home all afternoon, while Zhou's father worked on the iron frame in the yard.

Seeing that the light in the room dimmed, Jiang Xia left the room to make dinner.

Zhou Zhou still used the chair as a desk and wrote pinyin letters in the yard very seriously. Jiang Xia did not disturb her.

I heard that when a child is focusing on one thing, don't disturb her, otherwise her attention will always be interrupted and she will form the habit of inattention in the future.

Mother Zhou came into the yard carrying a bucket of fish and said with a smile: "Your eldest brother gave us a bucket of fish and some shrimps. This fish has many bones, but the meat is very fresh and sweet."

People in the Zhou family actually like to eat spiny fish. There is a saying that "the more fish bones, the fresher the fish."

Jiang Xia took it and smiled: "I'll do it."

For dinner, Jiang Xia made a stewed barracuda, a stir-fried pepper with bacon, a steamed egg with shrimps, and a stir-fried loofah with minced garlic. Steamed eggs with shrimps is Zhou Zhou's favorite dish. She doesn't eat much at noon, so Jiang Xia makes her her favorite dish.

For dinner, they mixed rice with shrimps and poached eggs. Zhou Zhou ate really well. Seeing how delicious she was eating, Jiang Xia smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Zhou Zhou smiled: "It's delicious!"

Jiang Xia laughed.

Father Zhou asked Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, are you going to sea tomorrow?"

Jiang Xia looked at Zhou's father and said with a smile, "Okay."

Now that Zhou Chenglei is away, the two families go to sea together. The people who go to sea are Zhou Chengxin and Zhou's father. The money earned from fishing and fish farming are equally divided.

As for other income, such as whoever picked up something valuable, everyone should keep it to themselves, which is fair.

Jiang Xia wants to go to the bottom of the sea tomorrow to see if there are any pearl oysters. She wants to try artificially cultivating pearls.

This can greatly increase the probability of pearl formation.

Of course she had never tried it, but she had seen it in a pearl farm in her previous life and had seen how it was done in videos on the Internet, so she wanted to give it a try.
