The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 305, The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest

With Zhou Xing here today, Zhou Xing can carry two children by himself, one in the front and one in the back.

The two children were giggling, thinking it was fun.

"Stop making trouble, be careful that it falls off." Qiao Minglang hastily reached out to pick one up, and carried it on his back.Qiao Xiaobao was lying on his brother's back, with his two small arms hugging his brother's neck, rubbing his little face against his brother's neck, feeling sleepy and wanting to sleep.

"Little Treasure, Little Treasure, don't sleep, wait until you get home." Qiao Minglang felt that the child was not moving on his stomach, and Qiao Minglang shook the child. The weather was cold, and he was afraid that the child would be cold when he fell asleep.But it was obvious that the child wanted to sleep when he was sleepy, and he fell asleep on his back after a while.

When they got home, both children were fast asleep, so they had to put the children back in the house to sleep.

After the new year, they started to make up lessons on the seventh day of the third year of high school.

They returned to the city one day in advance, the store would open the next day, and they would go to school the next day.

Zhou Xing didn't go home when he came back. Except for Wu San who came over before, his family didn't look for him, and he himself had no intention of going back.

As long as he doesn't spend the money in his own account, it is enough for him to finish his third year of high school.In the past, when his grandfather was still alive, a sum of money would be deposited into his account every month, but he found that no money came in last month. I don’t know if the people in the family forgot or did not send money to him on purpose. .

Left and right are inseparable from the handwriting of his own father or little stepmother, thinking that if he cuts off his money, he can be controlled.Do you still want him to go back and beg those two people to give him living expenses?over thinking!

It's just that in the future, if he doesn't ask the family to take the money, how to live this life, he has to think about it carefully.

I came back to class for a week. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the school gave them a day off for the third graders.

"Isn't it okay if you don't go home?" It's the Lantern Festival, Qiao Minglang is going to make some glutinous rice balls. The peanuts they roasted and ground are very fragrant, and then they put some sesame seeds and sugar in them and stir them as glutinous rice ball fillings. Er, there is also red bean stuffing.

He was going to pack a little more and send some to his cousin and the others later.

He saw that Zhou Xing hadn't been back home since the winter vacation. Although he knew that Zhou Xing didn't have a good relationship with his family, he was still a little worried that it would be bad if Zhou Xing didn't go back home during the Chinese New Year.

"What's the matter? They might be happier if I don't go back." Zhou Xing had never made glutinous rice balls before, so he didn't know how to make them.He looked at Qiao Minglang's kneading as if it was very simple, he kneaded a ball of flour and didn't know where to start, "How do I make this?"

"This is very simple. You knead the dough first, and then put the stuffing in it." Qiao Minglang taught with his hands. Seeing that Zhou Xing scooped too much stuffing in, he quickly got some out, "Don't put too much stuffing in it." Too much stuffing. If you add too much, it won’t cover it, and it will fall apart when it’s cooked.”

"Oh." Slowly making two glutinous rice balls, Zhou Xing learned a little bit.

Seeing that Zhou Xing didn't want to mention this matter, Qiao Minglang didn't say anything later, and the two of them wrapped the glutinous rice balls quietly.

Zhou Xing secretly glanced at the silent young man, and asked, "Are you worried about me?"

Qiao Minglang looked at Zhou Xing and said nothing, but the meaning was obvious.

Zhou Xing sighed. In fact, he didn't know what to say about the relationship with his family. He had already said what he could say before.His grandfather passed away a few years ago, and now he doesn't bother to pretend to be filial to his father, let alone they don't have much filial piety.

"I know what I know, you don't have to worry about me. I'm already this old, can I still support myself without them?" Zhou Xing knew what the young man was worried about him, but there was nothing to worry about these things.

He holds 5.00% of the company's shares, but this will take effect after him.After he goes to college, he can still receive a little dividend every year, which is enough for his living expenses for studying.

When the time comes, he will find another job, so he can't just starve himself to death.

"Well, as long as you have a plan in your heart. If you encounter anything, you should discuss it with me." Qiao Minglang looked at Zhou Xing and said.

"Understood, little housekeeper." Zhou Xing couldn't help but touch the boy's fair face with his flour-soaked fingers, leaving a fingerprint on it.

"..." Qiao Minglang didn't feel moved for two seconds before he felt an urge to kill this person.

The peanut stuffing they fried by themselves was very fragrant, and Zhou Xing secretly squeezed a handful of peanuts and put them in his mouth from time to time.It's hard for Qiao Minglang not to pay attention, he would suspect that their glutinous rice balls were not finished wrapping, and the stuffing was about to be eaten by this person, so he had to stop him aloud: "Okay, you, don't eat, eat again It's gone."

"We still have so much flour here! There will be no stuffing in a while."

"I'll just eat the last bite, you taste it, this peanut is really delicious." Zhou Xing didn't count on eating it by himself, and even pinched a handful of stuffing and forced it to be eaten by the boy.

Qiao Minglang had no way to hide, he just got a mouthful of peanuts.

"..." This person really... wants to hit him!

The two people behind were laughing and making noises, but they also wrapped the glutinous rice balls, except for the leftovers to eat by themselves, Qiao Minglang put the rest in a bag, and prepared to take it to the shop for his cousin and the others later.

Today is the holiday, they ate dinner with everyone in the store, and came back after dinner.

For supper in the evening, they ate the glutinous rice balls they made during the day. The two of them ate a bowl each. Zhou Xing didn't like sweets very much. After eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls, he didn't even want a second bowl.Qiao Minglang liked the glutinous rice balls they made themselves, and ate a big bowl.

***

The next day, I went back to school for class. The students in the first and second grades of high school came back to school, and the whole campus became crowded again.

Compared with the long vacations of the first and second grades of senior high school, there were not many vacations for their senior year of senior high school.They came back to school a week earlier, so there is no need for any time to adapt, because there is no time for them to adapt, and they have to enter a state of intense study, and the time for learning is against the clock.

The college entrance examination is in July every year, and they come back after the year, and it is less than half a year before the college entrance examination.

In the third year of senior high school, besides review, there are exams. There are assessments every week, various quizzes, and mock exams every month.

I don't know when the cold winter has passed, and spring is coming quietly.

It has been raining continuously for a few days, and the vegetation in the school has sprouted green, and there are birds jumping around on the branches, chirping.

It wasn't until the Ching Ming Festival in April, when Qiao Minglang was going back to his hometown with his cousin and brother-in-law to worship the ancestors, that Zhou Xing went back home.

Seeing her stepson coming back, Xu Haimei was stunned for a moment, then said with a sarcasm in her tone: "I thought who came back, it turned out that our young master came back. I haven't been back for almost half a year, I I thought you had forgotten that there was a home here."

If she used to pretend to be a loving mother to deceive people, now she doesn't even bother to pretend.

Now that her father-in-law is away, besides her husband, she is the biggest in this family.

The husband has to take care of the family's company, and he comes back late every day smelling of perfume, and he doesn't know which woman he's hanging out with outside.Before, she would wait until her husband came back before going to bed. After waiting for a while, she didn't bother to wait anymore, and went to bed early every day.

Zhou Xing glanced at the woman and went upstairs.

Pushing open the door of the room, he saw that everything belonging to him in the room was gone, and it became someone else's room.Soon he went downstairs, looked at the woman sitting there with an unkind expression and asked, "Who told you to move things in my room?"

Xu Haimei touched the newly made fingernails, looked up at her stepson, smiled, and said, "I didn't touch anything in your room, it was cleaned up by the servants at home." But she did the right thing, where? She needs to do it herself.

"You don't often live at home now, and it's a waste of a good room to be empty. We don't have many rooms in our house, and your sister will live in a room when she grows up. The room Ruirui used to live in was given to my sister. I Just ask someone to pack up the things in your room to the room on the west side of the third floor, anyway, you don’t live at home a few times throughout the year, so you don’t mind changing to another room?”

There are not many rooms in such a big house?Then who has more rooms!

Zhou Xing gritted his teeth watching this woman, of course he minded!What he dislikes the most is that other people touch his things. Even if he was not at home, no one dared to touch his things.

Fortunately, this woman didn't even say hello, and asked people to move all the things in his house to another place.

"Didn't your family ever teach you that before touching other people's things, you must first obtain other people's consent, and you can't touch other people's things?" What Zhou Xing said meant that his little stepmother had no education at all. .

"You!" Xu Haimei was furious about it. After thinking about it, she was not so angry anymore, and she could still say with a smile: "Your father agreed to this matter. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can wait for him to come back and talk to him." .”

"Okay, okay." Zhou Xing nodded and went upstairs again.

Opening the door of the room on the west side, he saw that all the things that belonged to him were piled up inside. Obviously, no one tidied it up for him. All the things were piled up together, and even he himself didn't know what it was or what it was.

Fortunately, he had already moved some important things to his outside house before, and what was left at home were some less important things such as clothes and shoes.Seeing so many things piled up together, he didn't feel in the mood to clean up. He closed the door directly, and turned around to leave.
