Chapter 23 What a waste of my big tank!

Working hours are extended.

The content of labor has increased.

Zhou Lingling: Hmm...my cousin summed it up very well.

The autumn heat was still very strong. The two brothers had been keeping a fire at home for two days, moving pots and setting up the stove. In the afternoon, they had to go to the distant mountains to collect firewood.

Both of them are a bit black, but there is nothing wrong with paying them.

So Zhou Lingling said, "What my cousin said makes sense. I'll mention it to my mother and aunt when they come back, but I can't guarantee that they will come!"

As the saying goes, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass.

Yang Jiakang laughed and said, "Cousin, one is worth two, we will definitely succeed!"

Zhou Yun looked very proud, as if he was the one being praised:

"Of course not, my sister is just smart!"

What he got in return was Yang Jiakang's disdainful look...

Zhou Lingling was very pleased to see her two brothers working with more enthusiasm.

She was also ready to go out and do her own business.

"Uncle, how many of these big jars do you have?"

In a store that specializes in selling various bottles and cans, the old man sitting behind the counter is dozing off.

He heard a crisp voice and looked up to see a little girl who was just as tall as the counter pointing at a big jar in the corner that was two or three times bigger than her and asking him.

The old man looked away and replied nonchalantly, "Fifteen cents each. If you want to play hide-and-seek, go find them outside. You can't hide in the jars here..."

Zhou Lingling: “…” I think this person looks like someone who likes to play hide-and-seek?

"Can I get it cheaper if I buy ten?"

The old man, who was about to close his eyes and take a nap, was startled by her words and said angrily:

"Which little girl came here to make fun of me, Old He? Go home!"

Zhou Lingling also became excited when she saw this fierce old man.

Today she will teach him what "the customer is God" means!

"Snapped"

Zhou Lingling slapped a piece of silver on the counter.

Old He blinked his eyes and vividly demonstrated to Zhou Lingling what "face changing" meant.

His old face wrinkled with smile: "Girl, take your pick. This big jar, right? Fifteen coins for one. Ten will be fine for one hundred and forty coins..."

Zhou Lingling smiled at the old man, then picked up the change she had left on the counter and turned away.

"Hey, hey, hey, girl, don't go! Let's talk it over..." Old He quickly chased after her.

"Is one hundred and thirty wen okay? If not, then one hundred and twenty wen!"

Old He chased the little girl to the door of the store and saw that she was still unmoved, and his store had not been open for three days.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "One hundred coins! For one hundred coins, you can take away ten large jars, okay?"

Zhou Lingling finally stopped and turned to look at Old He: "Really one hundred wen?"

Old He nodded repeatedly: "It's true, it's truer than real gold!"

A smile flashed across Zhou Lingling's eyes.

See, this is the treatment of "God"!

She used the same trick again and asked Old He to send the ten large jars to an empty alley and then put them into the space.

This is for filling water for making wishes, having wishes granted, and kissing good sisters.

Last time she only got ten baskets of vegetables, but she didn't forget that the other party also said that clean water was needed.

She also planned to try to see if she could grow anything in the space, as she would need water...

When Zhou Lingling returned home, she went to the kitchen first.

Old Mrs. Chen thought she was thirsty and immediately shouted:

"My dear grandson, there is boiled water on the table, but you can't drink it raw..."

Their Yunshui County is in the southern region, which has vast waters and fertile soil and has always been regarded as a land of fish and rice.

Last year, during the rainy season, there were sudden floods and epidemics, which killed many people. The government then issued a notice asking people to drink less raw water from the river.

But most poor families did not take the notice seriously at all. Many of them could not afford to dig a well, and firewood in the mountains was not easy to collect.

Besides, there is no flood this year, so how could I get sick?

The Chen family had their own well, so they didn't take the notice seriously. They usually just scooped water from the water tank and drank it. But when her granddaughter came, Old Mrs. Chen insisted that she drink boiled water.

The reason was that her beloved grandson had suffered a great hardship and was weak, so he needed to be taken good care of.

Zhou Lingling responded: "Hey, Grandma, I know, I'm not drinking water!"

She just wanted to do a little experiment.

Zhou Lingling looked at the wooden barrel next to the water tank, which still had half a barrel of water in it.

She stretched out a finger and tentatively placed it into the wooden barrel. Then she saw that the water in the barrel was getting less and less, while a shallow light began to appear under the large jar in the space...

Zhou Lingling's eyes lit up, but then she became a little discouraged.

How can she fill ten such large tanks?

Should I put my hand into the well?

Then everyone in the family would probably think she was crazy.

Imagining that scene, Zhou Lingling shuddered silently.

Forget it, let’s think of other ways.

It would be nice if there was a pool in the space. I could store more water in it, not only for use, but maybe even for raising fish...

At this moment, the space underwent another magical change.

A big pit suddenly appeared in front of the quaint three-story building.

Zhou Lingling: “…”

Now that we have a pool, can’t we just fill it with water?

Zhou Lingling waited for a while and found that the big pit was still a big pit, with no sign of water.

Ha ha!

Isn’t it controlled by “thought”?

You made my dream come true!

Looking at this huge deep pit, Zhou Lingling looked at the ten large jars in front of the small building with a complicated expression. She had bought them for a hundred coins.

I'm so angry!

What a waste of my ten big vats!

The family business went on as usual, and Mrs. Chen and her aunt returned home happy every day.

Zhou Yun and Yang Jiakang also successfully received a "wage" of one cent a day, which is thirty cents a month!

Zhou Lingling was very pleased.

So she asked her parents that day:

"Mom and Dad, have you made up your mind? When are we going to buy a house?"

Zhou Laoer: “…”

Chen: "..."

At once--

I haven’t thought about it yet.

Seeing this, Zhou Lingling's face turned serious: "Such an important matter, why don't you take it to heart!"

"The Tongsheng exam will be held in February next year. Even if big brother continues to study with Wu Xiucai instead of going to the academy, do we have to live in my grandparents' house forever?"

Zhou Chi, who had just returned from delivering firewood to Wu Xiucai, said: "..."

He paused for a moment, then walked over as usual.

"Dad, Mom, and sister."

The three of them turned around and saw that it was him, their expressions froze.

Although I didn't say anything bad behind his back, it was still a bit embarrassing because as soon as I mentioned the devil, he would appear.

Zhou Chi said calmly, "Dad and Mom, studying is just wisdom for me. It's enough for now. You don't have to worry about me when making any decision."

The boy's words seemed indifferent, but his hands hanging in his sleeves were clenched tightly.

"Brother! You misunderstood..."
