The control group dressed as the heroine

"Brother, you can lend me one hundred, and when I make money, I will return the principal with interest to you."

After Zhou Xiaoai was exhausted, Zhou Xiaoai thought that the original owner had now become a person who usually only had 20 yuan in his pocket at most.Immediately changed his attitude, and immediately licked his face and acted like a baby at the other party.

Zhou Xiaonian looked at her outstretched head and felt a chill in his heart.Without even thinking about it, he pressed the remote control board on Zhou Xiaoai's head: "Don't even think about it!"

Zhou Xiaoai curled her lips, said nothing, and immediately took the bowls and chopsticks she had eaten into the kitchen.

Zhou's mother has already entered her room, and Zhou's father is going to play mahjong, regardless of whether he can win money tonight.The current time is a rare quiet time for Zhou's mother, so she usually catches up on sleep at this time.

Zhou Xiaoai thought about the situation at home, and said nothing. After she finished washing the dishes, she went to the bathroom to wash and brush her teeth.When everything was over, when she returned to the room, she found a red photo of Grandpa Mao lying on her pillow.

"This world is really interesting, even Grandpa Mao is exactly the same." Happy in her heart, Zhou Xiaoai took the red banknote and kissed it heavily regardless of the bacteria on it.Then he knocked on the door next to him, and whispered to the opposite side: "Thank you, brother!"

Zhou's house is a standard two-bedroom house, one of which lived in Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, and the other house was originally shared by Xue Miaomiao and Zhou Xiaonian.It's just that when 12-year-old Zhou Xiaoai came to Zhou's house, she was unwilling to share a room with Zhou Xiaonian, and she was determined not to sleep in the bunk bed that Xue Miaomiao had slept in before.

With no choice but to find a cheap decorator, the angry father Zhou had to divide the small room into two.In this way, the later Zhou Xiaoai and the grown-up Zhou Xiaonian finally had their own rooms.It was just because Zhou's father didn't pay much money at the time, so the separation between the two was not a wall but a large wooden board that was not thick.So now even though Zhou Xiaoai's voice is not loud, Zhou Xiaonian on the opposite side can still hear it clearly.

"Hmph!" Brother Zhou ignored Zhou Xiaoai who was thanking him, hummed heavily, and continued to lie on the bed and play with his mobile phone.

Zhou Xiaoai didn't care about his awkward attitude, she solemnly pressed the money in her hand under her pillow.

Then lying on the bed, while looking at the isolated hut, he thought about how he could successfully fulfill all the wishes of the original owner.

To make Zhou's mother happy in her later years, it is best to leave Zhou's father.Let the scumbag Zhang Yifan receive the retribution he deserves, these actually feel easy to handle.But the problem lies in Guo Ying, let Guo Ying live a happy and peaceful life.So what can she do to make Guo Ying happy? Do you really want to have a relationship with her?

Thinking wildly in her heart, Zhou Xiaoai fell asleep soon after.When it was almost two o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhou Xiaoai woke up on time again.In my ears was the voice of Zhou's father cursing, followed by Zhou's mother's soft soothing voice.After waiting for a while, Zhou Xiaoai heard the sound of the two going out together.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother are vegetable sellers, and every day at two o'clock in the morning is the time for them to go out to the farmer's market to approve vegetables.Like Brother Zhou, Dad Zhou is also a person who can't understand.He likes to gamble, and he has to go out to play around every night.But no matter how he plays every day, he will come back when it is close to two o'clock.They will drive a minivan and take Zhou's mother to appraise the dishes.

Wait for the batch of dishes to be delivered, and wait for the dishes to be moved to the small booth they rented and put away the dishes.He left Zhou's mother alone to buy vegetables in the vegetable market, and then he went to a nearby breakfast shop to have breakfast.Usually, he eats one portion by himself, then packs two portions and brings them home, and directly serves breakfast to Zhou's brothers and sisters on the table.

When he got home, he began to fall asleep without hesitation, and slept until two or three o'clock.He woke up and ate something casually at home, and then went to the vegetable market to wait for Zhou's mother to come back.

Zhou's mother came back with the vegetables for dinner, and after cooking dinner at home, Zhou's father would close the stall and go home on time.After dinner, Zhou's father would go out again vigorously, and then come back angrily at two o'clock in the middle of the night.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother have lived such a life almost all the time. The original owner knows so much about the way they get along with each other, and there is not too much description in the novel.So Zhou Xiaoai plans to observe for a while before deciding on Zhou's mother and Zhou's father.

It was already 07:30 when Zhou Xiaoai woke up again according to the biological clock of the original owner, and she came out of her room.What I saw was Dad Zhou who happened to go into his room to sleep, and Brother Zhou who was wolfing down soy milk and fried dough sticks.

"The life of a prospective college student is really enviable. Eat and sleep every day, and eat when you are full!" Brother Zhou sent a sarcastic sentence to Zhou Xiaoai as usual, and then took his mobile phone and bus card to go to work. up.

After he left, the whole house was silent.After Zhou Xiaoai finished washing and eating breakfast, she started to clean the house.

The original owner used to be a young lady who knew nothing, and her previous family didn't need her to learn how to cook and how to clean the house.

So after arriving here, for a while, she has been doing nothing.

Later, I saw that Zhou's mother was really hard, so Zhou Xiaoai learned to sweep the floor and tidy up the table by herself.Even occasionally when she does laundry, she will bring a few clothes from other people in the family.But her devotion was not noticed by others.

Not long after the two exchanged back, Xue Miaomiao came to the door once.The other party ran around, enthusiastically helping Zhou's mother wash vegetables and serve meals in the kitchen, and enthusiastically called the other party's mother.

Zhou Xiaoai felt extremely awkward with just one click, because in her original home, the other party was also like this.The other party ran around, extremely enthusiastic and cheerful, which made Zhou Xiaoai feel like she was an outsider no matter which family she was in.

Later, when Xue Miaomiao left, Mother Zhou and Brother Zhou praised Xue Miaomiao both in and out of words.Zhou Xiaoai felt aggrieved when she was said to be diligent. She originally planned to learn how to cook, but later she was beaten to death and refused to enter the kitchen.

So because of this, Zhou's family thinks she is not pleasing to the eye, and this is also an ironclad proof that they think Zhou Xiaoai is lazy and arrogant.

If you want to change, then make a good change.The behavior of the protagonist in the novel is interesting. She seems to have settled for the awkward character of the original owner. She always shows truth, kindness and beauty in front of the original owner and her two families, and shows her hardworking and capable side.In this case, as a latecomer, Zhou Xiaoai can only learn.

Zhou's father slept in the room, and Zhou Xiaoai cleaned up the table and the small living room.Then throw the cushions on the sofa at home, the dirty clothes and sheets on Brother Zhou's bed, etc., and throw everything that she thinks can be washed into the washing machine.

The washing machine was roaring, Zhou Xiaoai checked the refrigerator at home, and then made all the things in the refrigerator into cooked food one by one.Then I rummaged through the boxes and chests at home to find two lunch boxes, and packed two portions of the meals I made.

After taking out the first batch of washed clothes to dry, Zhou Xiaoai threw in the second batch.When washing the second batch, Zhou Xiaoai ate some meals that she made by herself.Then he packed his lunch box well, and then went out with his things.

So when it was less than twelve o'clock at noon, Zhou's mother, who was guarding the stall, saw her daughter for the first time, and received a hot meal from her daughter for the first time.

"Mom, I'll watch, you eat first!"

Zhou Xiaoai doesn't know how Zhou's mother eats lunch on weekdays, but today Zhou Xiaoai is bound to let her feel her sincerity.

"Oh, okay, you wait first. Mom goes to a nearby store to order some hot water before eating." Zhou's mother was in a complicated mood, holding a hot water cup.I went to solve my physical problems first, and then I went to the store to get hot water.

"Sister Yang, is it still the same today? I'll deliver the noodles in person later?"

Seeing Yang Xiaohui's familiar opening, the lady proprietress in the store shook her head, with a rare smile on her face: "I don't need you to bring me food today, my daughter cooked at home and brought it to me just now." !"

This is the first time that Yang Xiaohui has been selling vegetables here for more than ten years, and someone delivered her lunch at noon.So at this moment, the expression on Zhou's mother's face is very subtle, with touch, disbelief, and a little bit of complacency and pride.

"Haha, that's a good relationship, hurry up and eat, don't keep the child waiting." Living in one place for more than ten years, as long as they are acquainted, there are almost no people who don't know the secrets of each other's family.The restaurant owner knew that her daughter was the one who was exchanged from a rich family. He had heard that the other party was a lazy person who could do nothing.I didn't expect the other party to be so kind to her, and my heart changed all of a sudden.

"Then I'll go back, you're busy." Yang Xiaohui, carrying hot water, walked towards her booth with a smile on her face.

"Sister Zhou, why are you so happy today!" Everyone in the vegetable market knew someone, and when they saw her, they greeted her and asked subconsciously.

"Yes, I usually do this. My daughter brought me food, and I went to eat. You are busy, let's talk later."

Mother Zhou was very happy, so when she arrived, no matter how others greeted her.She would tell the other party that she didn't eat from the restaurant today, and that her lunch was given by her niece today.

"Really? Your daughter is really sensible!"

"Yes, she is a filial girl."

Everyone responded like this, so when Zhou's mother returned to her booth.While eating, she looked at her daughter who helped her see the booth.Suddenly, I felt that how she looked at her today was pleasing to the eye.

"Xiao Ai, where are you going?" Mother Zhou looked at her daughter when she was about to finish eating.Thinking about what my daughter said to her brother yesterday, I wondered whether I should secretly give my daughter dozens of dollars.

"I still have a box of meals in my bag, and I plan to send it to my brother. When it's finished, I'll go to the wholesale market."

Zhou Xiaoai watched Zhou's mother behave cutely, and watched her daughter who was arrogant and ignorant before suddenly become sensible.Mother Zhou was a little happy, but also a little sad for no reason.She smiled and touched Zhou Xiaoai's half-length ponytail, and finally secretly gave Zhou Xiaoai 30 yuan.

Zhou Xiaoai took the money and carried her small backpack.Finally, after a 10-minute car ride, I arrived at the tire shop where Brother Zhou worked.There are a lot of cars parked outside the tire shop. According to Zhou's previous conversation with Zhou's mother, their places to eat here are uncertain, and sometimes they even don't have time to eat when they are busy.But they seem to have a microwave oven here, so this is also the main reason why Zhou Xiaoai went to the vegetable market first and then came here again.

When Zhou Xiaoai walked to the door of the tire shop, she found her brother who was wearing dirty work clothes and was about to climb under the car.

"Your girl, who are you looking for?"

There were a few people standing at the other end of the tire shop. They may have seen the student atmosphere on her body, or they may have seen the original owner's cute and cute appearance, so they opened their mouths subconsciously.

Zhou Xiaoai pretended to be a good girl.At a loss, he pointed at Brother Zhou who opened his mouth when he noticed her coming.

"I'm looking for my brother, I'll deliver the food!" Zhou Xiaoai said eagerly, as simple as he could be, and as sensible as he wanted.

"Hey, Xiaonian didn't expect you to have such a beautiful and sensible sister." Someone over there said, then raised his arm and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said directly: "It's one o'clock, how about Everyone stop working, take a break, eat something, and then continue."

The other party said, because of the other party's words, everyone who was busy in the tire shop stopped what they were doing.Everyone looked curiously at Zhou Xiaonian and his little sister who looked completely different from Zhou Xiaonian.

"Why are you here?" Being stared at by everyone, Zhou Xiaonian didn't feel very well, so he walked over immediately, fiercely.

"Here, this is lunch. Remember to take the lunch box back at night after you finish eating." Zhou Xiaoai didn't care about his attitude, and immediately untied his backpack and took out the lunch box he packed.

The small palm-sized lunch box was in Zhou Xiaonian's hand all of a sudden, he would either not eat lunch on weekdays, or go outside to make do with Brother Zhou.Holding the lunch box, I felt like Zhou Xiaoai suddenly stuffed a small bomb that didn't know when it was going to explode.

"Hurry up and go to the microwave." Zhou Xiaoai still has something to do, so she explained, waved to the person who was watching her behind, and then she left immediately.

"Xiao Nian, you call my sister very good."

"also very beautiful!"

"It's cute, and I know how to bring you food."

"Thanks to your sister, we can finally have lunch early today. Otherwise, depending on the situation, we might not have lunch until two or three o'clock."

When Zhou Xiaonian entered the store, everyone in the store became a little more enthusiastic towards him.While waiting for him to heat up the meal, for the first time, he used the time of the hot meal to chat with his colleagues a few more words.

Usually they are very busy as soon as they go to work, and when they go out to eat, they come one by one.This is the first time that Zhou Xiaonian huddles with everyone in a small room to have a hot meal in March when he works here, and it is the first time that he sits with everyone for lunch.Looking at the simple home-cooked meals in front of him, Zhou Xiaonian ate, and suddenly felt that his cheap sister wasn't too bad.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou's father woke up and wanted to go to the kitchen refrigerator to find some flatbread and pickles.What I saw was the simple meals that were always hot in the kitchen pot, and the small post-it notes that were carelessly pasted on the pot lid.

"Dad, please put away the clothes in the living room after dinner. Then take out the clothes from the washing machine to dry."

The post-it notes were torn off and crumpled into balls and still in the trash can. Father Zhou, who felt bewildered, took out the food and started eating.

While eating, he looked sideways at the huge pile of clothes hanging on the balcony, making the whole living room dark.

Muttering and complaining.After eating and putting the bowls and chopsticks in the sink, Father Zhou thought about it, but somehow he took off the hanging clothes.Then he took out a large pile of clothes from the washing machine and hung them to dry in the living room.

When Zhou's father went to the vegetable market to exchange for Zhou's mother, Zhou Xiaoai was wandering around the wholesale market.

She didn't have much money, including 20 yuan saved by the original owner from the usual lunch expenses, 100 yuan given by Zhou's elder brother, and 30 yuan unexpectedly given by Zhou's mother.

With less than 200 yuan, you can never buy big things.Zhou Xiaoai wandered around the wholesale market, and finally wholesaled 50 yuan balloons filled with small bags.In the end, I bought more than [-] maps of the city, and took the bus directly to the bus station.

Wearing clean clothes, Zhou Xiaoai, who had a strong student atmosphere, sneaked into the train station smoothly.Then, like a pornographic buyer, she sneaked up to others to sell local maps.

Before coming in, Zhou Xiaoai had already conducted a thorough inspection.So after entering, everyone else asked for a local map of ten yuan, and Zhou Xiaoai paid five or six yuan.

Most people would politely refuse after being questioned by Zhou Xiaoai.But after Zhou Xiaoai asked a few more questions, focusing on those passengers who had just got off the train and were carrying large bags on their backs, only one of the twenty maps on Zhou Xiaoai's body was soon left.

The businessmen and patrols at the train station had noticed her a long time ago. Zhou Xiaoai didn't dare to destroy the market, and she didn't dare to be blatant.Quickly accept it as soon as it is good, and quickly leave the train station.

When she got on the bus to go home, Zhou Xiaoai spent 40 yuan on wholesale local maps, which had already brought her a full 60 yuan in income.Although the income is not much, Zhou Xiaoai is quite happy.

According to the normal situation, she should go home immediately.But when she got off the car and passed by the small busy market behind the vegetable market, she subconsciously stopped.

Looking into the busy city, Zhou Xiaoai soon exposed it.Standing directly next to the main entrance of the small downtown, Zhou Xiaoai took out the big map that she didn't buy, and spread the map on the ground.

Then, under the strange eyes of others, he took out all the small balloons in the backpack and carried the bag again.Immediately, Zhou Xiaoai used the pumping tool sent by the store to inflate the balloon on the spot.

She wholesales all the most popular cartoon characters nowadays. After Zhou Xiaoai blows up the balloons one by one and tie them up, there are already many children around her.

Selling balloons is usually during the day, and there are more sellers in the park.There are relatively few people who come out like this at night, and Zhou Xiaoai played it on the spot, and she is dressed as a student, so it quickly aroused everyone's interest.

"How much is the classmate?"

"Five dollars!"

The selling price of this thing is usually this. Zhou Xiaoai didn't dare to disrupt the market, so he said it immediately.

"Mom, I want this!"

Women and children's money is the easiest to earn in this world. Zhou Xiaoai's asking price is suitable, and she is conspicuous enough standing on the side of the main entrance, also because she looks young.For the little girl, everyone has a congenital care and compassion, so Zhou Xiaoai opened soon.

Soon someone came to collect the rent from Zhou Xiaoai, but Zhou Xiaoai didn't say anything.He quickly paid 15 yuan, and then stood uprightly and yelled.

"Balloons, balloons, beautiful balloons. Don't miss them when you pass by, one is only five yuan, only five yuan!"

"Ha ha!"

The people around were attracted by her hawking voice, some were smiling, and some were with children, and after the children were attracted, they paid generously.

"Are you on a work-study program?" Someone asked curiously.

"Yes! Make more money!" No matter what others say, Zhou Xiaoai will always respond.After the people left, she squatted on the ground and yelled, while trying her best to hit the balloon.

"Brother, is that Xiao Ai?"

While Zhou Xiaoai was busy making money, Xue Miaomiao, who was standing far away at the gate of the downtown, tugged at the sleeve of her brother Xue Yanxin in disbelief.

"Let's go to the other side!" There is a small downtown behind the house, and it is a common thing for Xue's family to come out and stroll around here after dinner.But now looking at Zhou Xiaoai who is selling balloons in front of him, Brother Xue's first reaction is to stay away.

He used to love Zhou Xiaoai very much, and he didn't know about the sudden change of keys at home until later.But at that time, he couldn't change anything, he could only let everything happen.He is three years older than Xue Miaomiao and Zhou Xiaoai, and he is already a junior this year, and he does not go home all year round.This time, I came back home because of the summer vacation. I saw my little sister, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time, squatting in that place to sell things.His only reaction was to flee, to save face for his former sister.

"She must be short of money, I'll ask!"

Xue Miaomiao couldn't understand his mood, after such a hasty sentence.She immediately let go of Brother Xue and ran towards Zhou Xiaoai.

"Zhou Xiaoai?" When she walked to Zhou Xiaoai's side, Xue Miaomiao was wearing a long skirt and loose delicate long hair.He greeted Zhou Xiaoai with his head bowed in disbelief and suspicion.

"Xue Miaomiao?" Zhou Xiaoai, who was wearing a student sportswear and the most common ponytail for girls, raised her head in response.Then smiled lightly, and looked at each other politely.

Surrounded by a steady stream of figures coming and going, the two kept looking at each other.One stood tall, with undisguised pity and complexity in his eyes.One squatted on the ground and looked up politely, but after that, his eyes were full of understanding and playfulness.

"Little sister!" When Xue Miaomiao and Zhou Xiaoai looked at each other, Xue Yanxin walked up helplessly.

"Brother!" Xue Miaomiao looked back at him with a smile, and when he came over, she hugged his arm again tightly.

"Brother, it's really Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai is actually selling balloons! Xiao Ai, are you short of money? If you are really short of money, you can tell me. I'll go back and discuss it with my parents, and then—"

Xue Miaomiao chattered endlessly, but Zhou Xiaoai, who was squatting on the ground at this time, ignored her directly.Looking up at the elder brother who loved her very much in the original owner's memory, Zhou Xiaoai immediately said familiarly and intimately: "Brother, when did you come back?"

"It's been seven or eight days since I've been back!" Xue Yanxin's heart softened when Zhou Xiaoai called her brother.Reaching out to pull out his arm, Xue Yanxin squatted directly opposite Zhou Xiaoai.Naturally, she took the things in her hand, and while clumsily inflating the balloon in her hand, said cautiously: "What about you? Why are you here? Are you really short of money?"

They also asked her if she was short of money, but Brother Xue's tone was obviously more normal than Xue Miaomiao's.

Listening to what he said, Zhou Xiaoai didn't hide it, she replied carelessly: "It's missing something, bro, I'm going to Bingshi to study in university after a while. There may be a lot of places to spend money in university, so I I want to take advantage of the vacation to earn more. This way, I can live a little more chicly when I go to college."

The expected answer made Xue Yanxin feel uncomfortable.But after Zhou Xiaoai said it frankly and carelessly, Xue Yan's originally uncomfortable feeling in his confidence suddenly improved a lot.

"How is the business?" He handed the blown balloon to Zhou Xiaoai.

Zhou Xiaoai took it naturally, and explained while tying the rope: "Today is the first day I tried it, and it seems to be better than expected."

"is it?"

"Xiao Ai, do mom and dad know that you are selling balloons? You feel a little bit like this. You are not afraid of being—"

The neglected Xue Miaomiao felt a little wrong. In the past, as long as she called her brother first, whether it was her own brother or the original brother Zhou Xiaonian.As long as she barked first, Zhou Xiaoai would be awkward and not bark at anyone, and would shrink aside like a quail and be quiet.Situations like the present are rare, and Xue Miaomiao feels something is wrong all of a sudden.

Following her brother's example, she squatted directly in front of Zhou Xiaoai.Then he gently touched the balloon on the ground with the long nails he just made, and asked Zhou Xiaoai while touching it.

"You know, our family is a small businessman. They sell vegetables, and I sell balloons. It's normal that the well water doesn't interfere with the river water. And my brother gave me the money for doing business."

Zhou Xiaoai smiled at the two of them.Looking at her appearance, listening to her affectionate address to Zhou Xiaonian.For a while, both Xue Yanxin and Xue Miaomiao felt her change, and for a while, they had mixed feelings in their hearts.

"I gave you money to do business, but I didn't let you skip dinner just to sell this little thing." When Zhou Xiaoai explained with a smile, she just came home from get off work and found Zhou Xiaoai not there.Zhou Xiaonian, who was chased out by his parents to find someone, came up from behind the two Xue family siblings with an unfriendly expression.

"Brother!" Zhou Xiaoai and Xue Miaomiao spoke at the same time after hearing his voice.

"En!" Zhou Xiaonian nodded at Xue's brothers and sisters, then walked around the stall and stood directly beside Zhou Xiaoai: "How much did you earn?"

"Hey, this is a secret, I won't tell you!" After Zhou Xiaonian came to her side, Zhou Xiaoai smiled playfully.

Seeing her hippie smiling face, Brother Zhou, who felt unwell, once again put on a look that he couldn't bear to look directly at.Stretching out his hand uncomfortably, he pushed the cheek she had pressed to the side, and then Zhou Xiaonian squatted down directly, and started to clean up the things on the ground: "I don't want to talk about pulling it down, and I will check the time when I set up a stall in the future. Come out at this time in the future, let me Come out to ask you to eat, I'll—"

"Why do you do this? You won't break your thigh if you come out and ask me to have a meal. I'll make your lunch and send it over. If you do this again, I won't talk to you again."

"..."

Zhou Xiaonian took the pumping device in Xue Yanxin's hand very naturally, and looked at Zhou Xiaoai who was acting like a baby to Zhou Xiaonian.Looking at Brother Zhou who suddenly fell silent when Zhou Xiaoai said it.Both Xue Yanxin and Xue Miaomiao felt a little uncomfortable.

After the two brothers and sisters of the Zhou family packed up their things and began to shake hands and say goodbye to them.Both Xue Yanxin and Xue Miaomiao woke up and said goodbye politely.

"Let's talk next time!"

The four of them were talking about scenes that they would say every time they parted.Seeing Zhou Xiaoai reaching out to hold Brother Zhou, being thrown off again and again by Brother Zhou, but finally allowing Zhou Xiaoai's actions, this time Xue Miaomiao felt that it was necessary for her to go to Zhou's house again.
