Young lady, she is poor and stingy

Chapter 353 It’s New Year’s Eve (1)

The two met again the next day, and He Xiaoran stared at the mung beans all day long, while Zhou Chenyuan put on embarrassed gestures all the time, which made He Xiaoran very angry.

Fortunately, He Miao and Shi Shi were not affected at all, and when they had nothing to do to read books, He Miao went to dig dung beetles with Zhou Tuanzi to catch cockroaches when they had nothing to do. There are no other insects in the frozen Jiugu Wenchang this season.

If it didn't work, He Miao jumped up a tree to collect cicada shells.

One year passed, and He Miao collected a bag of cicada shells.

Wei Xian said in surprise: "So much? When I was in my hometown, Chinese herbal medicine dealers often went to the village to collect these cicada shells, which are good things to use as medicine."

He Miao tightly grasped the plastic bag on the helmet: "Are you rich?"

Wei Xian said "ah", then nodded: "Yes, you can sell it for money!"

He Miao immediately grabbed the cicada shell, stuffed it into He Xiaoran's arms, and asked her sister to exchange money.

He Xiaoran: "..."

Where does she go to change money?
Zhou Chenyuan walked over shyly, and took a look, "Look for Qin Shangxing, the Qin family is a medical family with both Chinese and Western medicine, and there is also a Chinese medicine store, so I will definitely accept it."

He Xiaoran looked up: "Really?"

As soon as he raised his head and looked at Zhou Chenyuan's shy expression, He Xiaoran felt that his hands were itchy and wanted to punch someone.

"Can you stop making that look?"

"I'm a little embarrassed."

"Why are you embarrassed?"

"The doctor checked me in the morning and said that my condition was relieved in one night, and the effect of physical therapy is better..."

He Xiaoran: "..."

Damn!Why did she discuss this topic with him?
Zhou Chenyuan asked someone to bring the shell to Qin Shangxing, and the person who sent it back said that the bag weighed about two catties, and the market price of the shell was 81 catties, which is one hundred and sixty catties, but Qin Shangxing said that he was an elder, and it happened to be Chinese New Year , I gave a big red envelope of 1 yuan.

He Xiaoran had a question mark on his forehead.

After He Miao got the big red envelope, he jumped up and down happily, "Rich!"

Climbing trees to search for cicada shells is more diligent.

He Xiaoran: "..."

Didn't she think that every time she picked some cicada shells, she would get a huge red envelope?
"If she likes it, just let her pick it. The more you control her, the less convinced she will be." Zhou Chenyuan reminded.

He Xiaoran glared at him, "That's just being used to her!"

"Then... every time I buy it, I sell it to my dad, and the money will be paid back very quickly." Zhou Chenyuan said.

His father has always been displeased with Dr. Qin, thinking that he is a love rival who has been waiting to pry into his corner. If his father knew that he would sell Qin Shangxing and the other party would give him extra red envelopes, he would definitely pay a lot of money to buy it.

He Xiaoran: "..."

Zhou Chenyuan is really his father's son!

After Zhou Chenyuan finished speaking, he sighed again: "I don't know how Zhou Chenchen has been these two days."

When Zhou Chenchen was mentioned, He Xiaoran was still surprised, how could Zhou Chenyuan be willing to send his tortoise son to a herpetologist for foster care?Doesn't he like to take it with him?

"I should bring back Jiugu Wenchang, and I don't know if Zhou Chenchen is in a good mood." Zhou Chenyuan said sadly: "But the experts said that Zhou Chenchen wants to live a normal life. I brought back Jiugu Wenchang, and it must have been kept in the greenhouse. It's not good for Zhou Chenchen's body function, Zhou Chenchen just wants to sleep when he should sleep, otherwise the day and night will be upside down."

He Xiaoran understood, it meant that Zhou Shenshen should be allowed to hibernate when it was time to hibernate, and he could not break the living habits of a tortoise.

She rolled her eyes and looked at him a little unbearably: "Now you can't even accept the fact that Zhou Chenchen is a turtle?"

"That's our son!" Zhou Chenyuan interrupted her in shock. How can you say that Zhou Chenchen is a turtle?
He Xiaoran: "..."

She smacked her lips, don't overdo it, well, whatever.

"Shen Chen will be able to find a wife this year." Zhou Chenyuan said: "I have already found several beautiful girls, and it will depend on which one he likes the most."

"..."

"I hope Shen Chen's blind date goes well!"

"..."

Just when Wei Xian came over, he asked curiously, "Who wants a blind date?"

Zhou Shenyuan: "..."

He Xiaoran raised his head: "Ah Yuan is going to give his son a blind date."

"How old are you? If I know someone, I can help introduce you." Wei Xian said with a smile.

He Xiaoran said with a grin: "Seventh Aunt, please don't, he has already found several blind date partners himself, so he almost slipped away to meet each other."

Zhou Shenyuan: "..."

Wei Xian: "That's fine."

Outside, Zhou Tuanzi held the small basket and held it up high, waiting for sister He Miao to pick the cicada shell and throw it down for her to pick it up. If she couldn't catch it, she would pick it up.

Sister He Miao gave her half of her big red envelope just now. Zhou Tuanzi made money for the first time, and it's hard work picking up cicada shells!

Wei Xian rested his chin on his hands and looked at the warm sunshine in the winter afternoon, his mood was exceptionally good.

If only days like this could last forever!

Wishes are beautiful, but the New Year always passes.

The descendants of the Zhou family rushed back to Jiugu Wenchang from other places in China, and they all prepared to return, leaving Jiugu Wenchang one after another, ending the annual process of going home for the New Year.

He Xiaoran saw people dragging their luggage and leaving, she couldn't help asking: "They come back once a year, will they have a sense of belonging when they return to Jiugu Wenchang? Especially those Zhou family descendants who were born outside , do you really still have the consciousness that you are the Zhou family?"

Zhou Chenyuan didn't speak, in fact he didn't know either.

In his opinion, the Zhou family is no different from ordinary people, they just live in Jiugu Wenchang and make some money.

What is a sense of belonging?When one's own destiny cannot be grasped in one's own hands, this sense of belonging can only be put in quotation marks.

Before the incident happened on the night of the New Year's Eve, Zhou Chenyuan had never felt this way. He always felt that there was nothing wrong with being born in the Zhou family. That's all.

But that night he suddenly realized how powerless his role was when he was born into such a family.

He is a junior, he is a junior, so even if he knows that the other party is wrong, he can't make a move, can't resist, can't condemn, his identity restricts the shackles he wants to get justice, and becomes the shackles he wants to protect the people around him.

As long as he is in the Zhou family, in Jiugu Wenchang, he will be restrained by his elders.

He never felt bad when things didn't happen to him, didn't make him feel personally, but after that night, he felt it.

What's so good about the Zhou family?
Facing a scumbag-like person, a group of elders who blindly protect right from wrong, and a gentle old man... At that time, he seemed so powerless, and that sense of powerlessness made him feel almost desperate .

It was the first time in Zhou Chenyuan's nearly 20-year-old life that he felt such a sense of powerlessness.
