Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 92 Gift (1)

Zhou Xiaoyun, who was already nine years old after the New Year, actually stayed at his uncle's house for a few more days and did not come back until the new semester started.

Erya was very dissatisfied and told her that after having a cousin, her sister would no longer love her.

The pouted little mouth made Zhou Xiaoyun hug him and kiss her twice before turning cloudy.

Fang Wenchao, who had been busy with marriage arrangements a few years ago, finally got married at the end of the year. Fang Wenchao came to school in the new semester and was beaming with joy. You could see his oversized smile from afar.

Fang Wenchao carried the boss’s bag of wedding candies and first went to the office to give a large handful to each of his colleagues.

Principal Qiao took the lead in congratulating her: "Teacher Fang, congratulations on becoming the groom's official. You will have to go back to the county town more often in the future, and stay in the dormitory less often. Don't neglect the bride."

Fang Wenchao smiled sheepishly: "I bought a new motorcycle and plan to go home twice a week."

Everyone smiled knowingly, and the thin-skinned Fang Wenchao came to the classroom with the remaining candies on the pretext that he wanted to give out candies to the students.

 Children in the classroom burst into laughter when they saw Fang Wenchao come in with candies, and shouted for some candies.

Zhou Xiaoyun naturally knew the news of Fang Wenchao’s marriage, and silently said in his heart: Bless you, Teacher Fang! May your marriage be happy!

With the slightest hint of sadness in his heart gone, Zhou Xiaoyun stepped forward and offered some candy for Fang Wenchao. Two yuan for each child, and the remaining handful naturally went to Zhou Xiaoyun.

Zhou Xiaoyun was not willing to peel off the candy wrapper and eat it in class like other students. Instead, he received it in his pocket and prepared to take it home for Erya to eat.

Zhou Xiaoyun began to think about preparing a wedding gift for Fang Wenchao.

 Not to mention the affection that Fang Wenchao has been teaching him to play harmonica, accordion and calligraphy in the past two and a half years, Fang Wenchao has always taken good care of him in the class. Now that Fang Wenchao is getting married, he has to prepare a gift to show his love.

 Taking advantage of Fang Wenchao's absence in the classroom, Zhou Xiaoyun used his privileges as monitor to launch a campaign in the class.

Fang Wenchao has always been loved and loved by students. I heard that he had to spend some money to buy gifts for Fang Wenchao. He was not reluctant. Zhou Xiaoyun adhered to the principle that a dime is never too little and a piece is not too much, and mobilized everyone to pay voluntarily, allowing Zhou Qianqian to act as an accountant.

Zhou Qianqian helped sell things at home, and she collected the money so smoothly that Zhou Xiaoyun was glad to have found the right person to help.

The children had just celebrated the New Year and had some lucky money with them, and many of them actually took out five cents or one yuan. The wealthy Feng Tiezhu suddenly took out two yuan, causing an uproar.

Zhou Xiaoyun also contributed one yuan herself, and most of her new year's money this year was given to Zhao Yuzhen. However, she always has some private money in her hand, and she can take out not to mention one dollar or five dollars.

However, Zhou Xiaoyun had other plans in mind.

 She planned to buy a separate gift for herself in addition to the group gift to express her feelings. As for what to do…

　　Hey, this is a secret. You’ll know when it’s done, we can’t reveal it now!

 The class received a total of about thirty yuan, which is really a large amount. Zhou Xiaoyun called on several friends to go to the county town with her on Sunday to buy gifts for teachers in the mall. Feng Tiezhu and Zhou Zhihai both signed up to participate, plus Wang Jingjing, Zhou Qianqian and Sun Min. Surprisingly, Xu Meili also actively requested to participate, and Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't help but agreed.

Wang Jingjing muttered behind her back that she didn’t want to go with Xu Meili, but Zhou Xiaoyun persuaded her to stop.

Xu Meili and Zhou Xiaoyun are from the same village. Her father is Xu Dashan, the production team leader of the village. He is a bit shrewd and cunning, but he is very popular in the village.

 Xu Meimei's appearance is quite embarrassing for her name. She is not beautiful at all, and her flat facial features are nothing out of the ordinary.

This name is often made fun of by her classmates, but Xu Meili, who comes from a better family, is the best dressed in the class. Therefore, Xu Meili looks down on other female classmates like a proud little peacock and is not very popular. No one likes to play with her.

Xu Meili has always been a little jealous of Zhou Xiaoyun's good grades and popularity. Why does Teacher Fang always like her so much and make her the monitor? Xu Meili thought angrily, her grades were not bad, and the fact that everyone loved to surround Zhou Xiaoyun made her even more unconvinced.

Xu Meili often brings some delicious food to the class to share with her classmates, and there are also some classmates around her. Xu Meili, who has a strong sense of self-superiority and has become the deputy squad leader, actively wants to remove Zhou Xiaoyun from the position of regular squad leader, and is eager to get ahead in everything.

Take the incident of buying a gift for Fang Wenchao this time as an example. Zhou Xiaoyun started to wear the belt, but she stepped in to collect the money for him, and finally had to follow him to buy the gift.

Zhou Xiaoyun was too lazy to fight with her. If he wanted to go, he could go together. It was no big deal.

Several children agreed to take a tricycle together on Sunday morning. Each child would pay for the travel expenses. It was estimated that half a day would be enough for a round trip.

Zhou Xiaoyun and Zhao Yuzhen and Zhou Guoqiang talked about it, and their parents would naturally not object.

 Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuzhen both knew that Fang Wenchao had always taken good care of their children. The rural people had no other way to express gratitude, so they asked Zhou Xiaoyun to bring some eggs from the family's chickens to Fang Wenchao. Occasionally, if there were any fresh vegetables, I would give them to Fang Wenchao, but Fang Wenchao was so disrespectful that he had to accept them.

At this time, they heard that Fang Wenchao was married and the children spontaneously raised money to buy gifts for the teacher. Zhao Yuzhen, who had always been stingy, agreed. He generously gave Zhou Xiaoyun five yuan to take her to dinner.

 What an unexpected gain! Zhou Xiaoyun smiled happily while holding the five yuan.

Several friends gathered at Zhou Xiaoyun's house in high spirits early on Saturday morning. Xu Meili originally proposed to go to her house, but unfortunately no one wanted to go.

Xu Meili felt a little resentful when she saw a group of people showing no respect to her. Unfortunately, my little arms couldn't twist everyone's thighs, so I had to come to Zhou Xiaoyun's house early in the morning.

Zhou Qianqian is the oldest among them, eleven years old, and Zhou Xiaoyun is the youngest just nine years old. It was really uneasy to see a group of half-grown children on the road, so Zhou Guoqiang specially asked Wu Youde to send some of the children off.

When Wu Youde drove over, Wu Mei also sat in the car with a smile. Several people were chattering along the way.

 After sending a few children to Hongguang Mall, Wu Youde agreed with a few people to pick them up in two hours and went to work.

Zhou Xiaoyun and a group of people entered the mall. One person said they wanted to go here and the other said they wanted to go there. They couldn't argue.

In the end, it was Zhou Xiaoyun who smoothed things over: "Let's look around while shopping and buy what we like. Anyway, there is no counter-offer in the mall. Let's buy gifts for more than 30 yuan."

 Everyone agreed, except Xu Meili, who disagreed and insisted on going directly to the second floor.

Wang Jingjing has never liked her, so she rolled her eyes when she heard this: "Sister, you can go to the second floor alone, no one will stop you."

Xu Meili couldn't find support and had to follow the crowd in disgrace.

 Several children chatting noisily to each other became a beautiful scenery in the shopping mall, attracting many eyes. However, both Wang Jingjing and Wu Mei had loud voices, and they spoke as if no one else was listening. Zhou Xiaoyun wiped his sweat and said, "I don't know them."

 There is nothing to gain from the first floor, so go to the second floor and have a look.

 When he arrived at the watch counter, Zhou Xiaoyun's eyes were attracted by a pair of couple's watches.

 The two watches have the same style, the men’s watch is slightly larger and the strap is wider, quite simple and elegant. Looking at the price again, it's not expensive, only twenty-four yuan.

Zhou Xiaoyun and his friends bought this as soon as they put it together, and Xu Meili didn't even raise any objections. She probably figured it out in the past half day, and no one paid any attention to her comments, so she finally had the sense and didn't say anything else.

 It turned out to be a joke when I paid again. It turned out that the price was the price of a watch, two yuan was forty-eight!
