Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

After leaving the neighborhood committee, Zhou Rong went to the coal store and bought a cartload of honeycomb coal, and asked the store to help deliver it to No. 27 Chang'anli.

I also went to a nearby store and bought a cartload of firewood, a bag of rice, a few pounds of noodles, two pounds of meat, some vegetables, as well as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, eggs and all the other supplies.

During the years the original owner had been in the Yang family, he had gained a lot of strength. Zhou Rong had no pressure at all when carrying fifty or sixty kilograms of rice on his shoulders.

Seeing Zhou Rong carrying rice on her shoulders and a large basket in her hands, which was full of meat, vegetables, oil, etc., Zhou's father, who was helping unload coal and firewood at the door, hurriedly put down what he was doing and stepped forward to help her take the rice and bamboo basket.

She said distressedly, "Why didn't you ask us to help you carry so many things?"

Zhou Rong shook his slightly sore arm and said with a smile, "It's not that heavy. I took it back myself."

Father Zhou took the things to the kitchen and put them away, and whispered, "This family cannot do without a man. I'll ask your mother to help you find one later, or you can find one that suits you."

Zhou Rong: "It's not like I didn't have men before, how can I count on you? Can you guarantee that the next man won't be the same as Yang Jinlin?

It's just a little physical work, much easier than working in the fields. I don't need to rely on a man, and I don't want to find a man for this.

If it really doesn't work, spend some money to hire someone to do it, it's much less troublesome than finding a man."

Father Zhou choked, knowing that he could not win the argument with Zhou Rong, so he stopped talking and continued to help carry coal and firewood...

After putting away all the things he had bought, Zhou Rong gathered everyone in the living room for a small meeting.

“I have three things to tell you. First, I have received the recommendation letter from Qi Guang, but whether I can enroll normally depends on the school.

Qi Guang, you need to learn more from your third sister later, memorize what you need to memorize, and write what you need to write, so that you can pass the teacher's assessment tomorrow."

Zhou Jiaguang said gloomily, "I understand."

Zhou Rong: "The second thing is, the elder sister from the neighborhood committee told me that there is a night school here, and the graduates of the advanced class can get the equivalent of a high school degree. I got two places, one for me and Wucai, and I will go to sign up tomorrow."

Zhou Cai asked in surprise: "Sister, are you going to send me to school?"

Zhou Rong: "Well, let's go together. It will be easier to find a job with a diploma in hand."

Zhou Cai was very happy to be able to continue to go to school, but she didn't want to burden Zhou Rong. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Sister, you go to school. I will take care of Sanniu and Sanni at home, and help you clean up the house so that you don't have to worry about anything."

Zhou Rong knew what Zhou Cai was worried about, and persuaded her, "Night school starts at 7pm, and Erniu and Qiguang will have finished school by then, so they can help take care of Sanniu and Sanni.

If it doesn't work, we can take Sanni to school. This is a rare opportunity, I don't want you to give it up.

My sister is so outstanding, she should be the most dazzling one in the crowd. I don’t want her to be trapped at home, like a pearl covered in dust. She should have her own pursuits and display her talents on a bigger stage. "

Zhou Cai's eyes were hot, and she tried hard not to cry. After a moment's rest, she said, "You have to take care of the food and drink for so many people, and you have to support four people to go to school. I don't want you to be too hard-working."

Zhou Rong: "I'm not tired at all. Didn't I tell you that my salary is enough for everyone's expenses? Before leaving, my mother gave me all the money she found in the Yang family. I have no shortage of money.

My mother felt sorry that we couldn't go to the county to attend junior high and high school. If she knew that we continued our studies in the city, she would definitely be very happy.

When you get a diploma and a good job, you can repay your parents for their kindness in raising you."

Father Zhou continued, "Your mother and I don't need you to repay us, just live your life well.

In the past, the world was in chaos and we were worried about you three sisters staying alone in the county, so we delayed your studies.

If you want to continue studying, Dad supports you. Your mom always says that reading can make people wise, especially girls. Reading more can broaden your horizons and will not be bound by rules and regulations.

Wucai, don't worry about the tuition fees. Now that spring has come, I will go to the mountains more often and sell the prey I catch on the street.

If we raise one more pig this year, and unless there are serious natural disasters, the income from our family will be enough for you to go to school.

Don't worry about Sanniu and Sanni being left alone. There's still some time before Sigui finds her husband and gets married. I'll discuss with your mother and see if we can arrange for her to take care of the two children."

Zhou Rong: "Dad, it's dangerous to go into the mountains. Don't go. I really have enough money. Yang Jinlin has lost a lot of money."

Father Zhou: "That's yours! Wucai is my daughter. I have the obligation to support her before she gets married. You don't have to argue about the tuition. It's settled.

Your mother told me that the money she gave was for Qi Guang to go to school and for Erniu and his friends to buy clothes.

You should be careful with the money you have, and don't spend it lavishly, because you still have a long way to go."

Zhou Cai said, "Sister, I want to earn my tuition by myself. Please keep an account for me first. When I get a job, I will pay you back all the money."

Zhou Rong: "Then let's arrange it this way. The third thing is, I changed the names of Erniu, Sanniu and Sanni.

From now on, Erniu will be called Zhou Qingping, nicknamed Dawa; Sanniu will be called Zhou Qingan, nicknamed Erwa; Sanni will be called Zhou Xue, nicknamed Nini. Don’t call them by the wrong names.”

Father Zhou asked in surprise: "When did you change it? Did Yang Jinlin agree?"

Zhou Rong: "It was Yang Jinlin who helped me change my household registration. Otherwise, as a common citizen like me, I would not be able to produce any of the certification documents required by the police.

I didn’t say it before because I didn’t want Yang Kaiyun and the others to cause trouble, and I didn’t want to be criticized by others.”

Whether it is Yanglinpo or Zhoujiawan, men almost always have the final say, and male chauvinism is deeply rooted. If they knew that I changed my child's surname, they would not be able to escape a lecture.

Zhou Rong didn't want to argue with them, so he kept it a secret, but tomorrow he had to register his child, so it was time to make things clear to everyone.

Father Zhou said, "It has all been changed. Let's leave it at that. Those fools in the Yang family deserved the loss of two grandsons!"

Zhou Cai: "My sister did the right thing. They are divorced. Why should the Yang family give advantage to her own children? From now on, Da Wa, Er Wa and Nini are our Zhou family's children!"

Zhou Jiafu raised his hand and said, "I will always support my elder sister."

Zhou Rong: "Thank you for your support. Jiafu should also read more books in the factory. No matter where you are, motivated people will be looked up to. If there is a promotion opportunity, they will be given priority."

Zhou Jiafu smiled innocently and said, "Sister, I feel sleepy when I see a book."

Zhou Rong: "You should develop a habit of reading. Even if you can only remember ten words a day, it will be a big improvement over the years."

Zhou Jiafu knew that he couldn't win the argument against Zhou Rong, so he nodded in agreement sullenly.

Zhou Rong: "We've been busy all afternoon, and everyone has worked hard. In the evening, we'll have shredded pork noodles and a poached egg for each person, as a reward for our hard work."

Several children cheered together: "Wow! That's great!"

While waiting for the noodles to be cooked, Zhou Jiaguang ate them with a snort, thinking that it was great to be in the provincial capital. It would be so great if he didn't have to go to school during such a happy life...
