Chapter 8: Filial Piety in Families with Many Children

No matter how Teacher Zhang pretended not to care, or for what reason she cared about him, Zhou Ran appreciated her kindness.

In addition, Teacher Qiu also prepared a bag of math competition tutoring materials for her, some of which were printed by the school itself, and some of which he collected himself in previous years.

Anyway, the materials given by the two teachers filled Zhou Ran’s schoolbag. He must remember this kindness.

After all, she was an adult, how could she not understand the importance of reciprocity? Moreover, over the years, Zhou Ran had always been the one who gave her a little respect, and she would return it ten feet, so she had begun to think about it.

Taking advantage of the fact that classes were only half a day on Saturday, I sent a bag of fruit to each of the two teachers' offices. They were all produced in the space. Apples and pears are not conspicuous in this season, but watermelons in late autumn are not cheap!

However, the income of teachers in the mountains is three to five times that of ordinary schools. These fruits are not only of better quality, but they are definitely affordable for them. After a few polite words, I accepted them.

I know in my heart that Zhou Ran is a grateful child, and this kindness is a hundred times more than fruit.

However, they did not mention that when the two of them took the fruit home, they were welcomed by their family members, and only then did they become curious about the source of the fruit.

"Ranran, let's go buy a car!" Before Zhou Ran even left the school, she saw her father chatting with the security guard at the school gate.

Old Zhou's eyes, which came from a background as a "scout", were really sharp. With so many students around, he quickly locked onto his daughter.

Why is "scout" in quotation marks? Because... Lao Zhou is just an ordinary soldier. Where can the navy find scouts? Even if there are, Lao Zhou is not one of them.

He worked in the kitchen for two years and is a good cook.

He simply has big eyes, and only has his own daughter in his eyes!

"Dad, have you been waiting long?" Her dad didn't have to go to work on Saturday, but even if he did, her dad, a lazy guy, wouldn't sit in the office honestly.

"It wasn't long before I came out after stewing the braised pork ribs. Your grandpa came and caught a chicken for you!" Old Zhou took his daughter's schoolbag and put it on one shoulder.

"What? Grandpa is here!" It's not Zhou Ran's fault for being too "filial". It's really that the memories of her grandparents are too long ago, and her parents never mentioned them, so she really forgot about them.

Yes, according to the timeline in the novel, my grandparents and grandfather are still alive.

"Well, I took the early bus. After I sent you to school, I went to buy groceries. When I got home, your grandpa had already arrived." Lao Zhou said casually. At this time, the number of mobile phone ownership had increased.

However, many elderly people in rural areas don’t even have a telephone, let alone a mobile phone.

"Dad, how about giving my cell phone to grandpa? You won't let me use it anyway." Zhou Ran's cell phone was bought by his family after he took the high school entrance exam. He only had ownership but no right to use it.

These days, digital products are updated and iterated too quickly.

No matter how durable her Nokia is, she has to buy a new one when she goes to college.

"Are you willing to do that?" Old Zhou was not jealous. Compared to his parents who had eight children and more than a dozen grandchildren, his father-in-law did love Ranran more.

"Why should I be reluctant to give it away? It's all sitting idle in Mom's safe anyway. If I give it to Grandpa, he can call us if anything happens." Besides, Grandpa lost his wife early in life and lives alone without any help. If anything really happens...

Zhou Ran pursed his lips, not wanting to think about those bad things.

"But your grandpa is hard of hearing..." Old Zhou actually didn't object, he was just teasing his daughter on purpose!

"I used my New Year's money to buy a hearing aid for my grandfather!" Looking back, Zhou Ran felt that he was very unfilial.

She said that she wanted to be good to the elderly, but she never thought about buying one for them even though a cheap hearing aid only costs a few hundred dollars.

"You kid! How unfilial of your mother and me do you seem? Don't worry about this matter. I'll go to your grandfather this afternoon to get a pair of hearing aids." Old Zhou patted his daughter lightly.

Are he and his wife unfilial? Families with many children often have various concerns, and the old concept is that sons should provide for the elderly. His father-in-law has a son, and sometimes he and his wife are hesitant to show more filial piety.

Okay! After all, he's still not as filial as his own daughter. Can he really not think of things that a child can think of? He must have thought about it!

"Okay! Then I want something better!" Zhou Ran had no intention of being polite with his own father.

"Well, then you should buy a bicycle!" Old Zhou originally planned to buy a small electric scooter for his daughter, and now he was deliberately teasing her.

"Sure, why not a bicycle? It can also be used to exercise the body!" In her previous life, Zhou Ran often forgot to charge her electric bike. Many times, the bike ran out of power halfway through the ride, and she had to stop the bike and take a taxi to school. It was a pity for her limited living expenses.

"Are you serious? The budget is no more than one thousand yuan!" Old Zhou felt really strange. Something was wrong with his daughter. Why was she so sensible now?

"Okay, just give me a thousand dollars."

Nowadays, high school students either ride electric bikes or mountain bikes, but Zhou Ran doesn’t want either. She already knows what kind of bike she wants: a retro and lightweight women’s bike!

The whole set of solid tires, basket, lights and bells only costs 480 yuan. Wow, 520 yuan just fell into Zhou Ran's pocket, and it's an old brand that's permanent!

An electric car starts at 3,000 yuan, and a mountain bike will cost at least 1,000 yuan. Lao Zhou has also inquired about it and has the money ready, but he never expected that his daughter's aesthetic taste is so... retro?

But, it’s true, it’s only a ten-minute walk from his home to the mountains, and a five-minute bike ride. This bike is quite suitable for his daughter!

As for the bicycle shop owner, he was clearing out an unsold bicycle, so he sold it at cost price and didn't ask for much.

Zhou Ran was happy as she pocketed more than 500 yuan. After all, she was not the little girl selling watermelons. Apart from the New Year's money and pocket money, she really didn't have much small change.

This guy is so natural at living off his parents that he has never thought about making money. He just lives a Buddhist life.

Old Zhou drove home to cook first. After all, his father-in-law was still at home, so it was no problem for Zhou Ran to ride a bicycle.

On the other side, Yuan Lie, who had arrived at Zhou's house early to have a free meal, saw that Zhou Ran had not returned home, so he waited at the intersection. Seeing her riding a ladies' bike with a strange look on her face, he wanted to mock her, but there was something inexplicably harmonious about Zhou Ran riding this bike.

It seemed like the car wasn't just a used car, but a custom one that cost a lot of money.

Who can I go to for justice?

"That's great. You can ride the bike by yourself in the future. I won't take you with me!" Yuan Lie has his own ideas. When he sees Zhou Ran, he has to say a few words.

In response, Zhou Ran chose to ignore it. He didn't even find it annoying to be eating for free!

She tried to kick him out, but Yuan Lie's grandmother paid for his meals...

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou naturally refused to accept the child, but they couldn't chase the child away, right?
