there's such good news!Without hesitation, he chose to bind. The next moment, Ah He's surprised voice came: "Brother, I dug it up, look, this one is so fat.""Not bad, not bad. Keep it up, we'll have...After eating the instant noodles, Zhao Qin looked at his luck value again. It didn't change at all despite filling his stomach. It was still 193 0.
So the desire to continue beachcombing in the afternoon came to nothing.
"Hey brother, what are you doing this afternoon" Ah He asked.
Zhao Qin looked at the house, which was like a pigsty, and said to him: "Clean up the house this afternoon, this damn place is not even fit for human habitation."
"Then I'll stay and help you." Ah He finished the last mouthful of soup from his instant noodle container, then quite naturally tossed the container out to the side of the door.
Zhao Qin saw that his movements were so smooth and effortless, he was also amazed. Well, let him experience it too, cleaning can be more tiring than catching the sea.
"Alright, go back first. Give the money to your mother, and also pick some vegetables from your vegetable garden and bring them to me. This time I won't pay you, but for every time you pick them in the future, I'll give you money. Go now."
"How much do you want for my milk breed"
Zhao Qin suddenly turned cold and said: “It's not yours to begin with. If it were yours, you could take it out and generously give it away. Why would you use your mother’s labor results as a favor”
"I..."
"Alright, go. Remember, you're all grown up now, and from now on you have to support your mother in her old age."
"I got it, bro."
This time, it seemed like he actually listened. A-he kicked his legs and ran away, but just as he left the door, he kicked over the instant noodle bucket he had thrown outside.
"Pick it up and throw it in the trash."
"Oh."
Ah had no choice but to pick it up and ran quickly.
Zhao Qin found a bamboo pole, tied the broom to the top, and swept over the roof and walls first.
I'd say their parents have good genes. This body is tall, just like his older brother. His older brother is about 178 centimeters, and he's probably around 182 centimeters.
When he finished sweeping the floor and walls, Ah He didn't show up yet. He was thinking that the other guy wasn't reliable when suddenly, Ah He quietly walked in, took a broom and started sweeping without saying a word.
"Do you understand the order of things You sweep last, so sweeping now just means we'll have to sweep again later."
"Ah, with a soft sigh, he grabbed a cloth and began wiping the table."
Zhao Qin then realized something was wrong with the boy: "What's wrong"
"Brother, my mother cried. When she saw the 200 yuan I gave her, she was crying and laughing at the same time. Brother, was I a jerk before"
Zhao Qin smiled faintly, put down his bamboo pole and lightly patted it on his head: “You’re feeling uncomfortable, realizing that your previous self was wrong, right It's okay, I just woke up today too. You're just half a morning slower than me.”
"Brother, in the future, we'll definitely make something of ourselves. You'll definitely become your mother's pride."
"Bro, am I really doing good"
"If others can do it, you surely can. By the way, what about the dish I gave you"
Ah then realized, "I was so preoccupied with my own thoughts that I forgot. Don't worry, let me clean up first, and then I'll help you pick it."
"Wipe the table, anywhere you can see, I'll wash the bedding."
He may not have a washing machine, but Zhao Qin is no stranger to doing laundry. In another time and space, he served in the military for three years, washing his own clothes by hand.
This took a while, and I had to constantly supervise Ah. While his attitude was proper, this kid clearly hadn't done much work before. Many things weren't up to standard. When wiping the table, he only wiped the tabletop, ignoring the underside of the table and the legs.
There were two trees right by the door, one a camphor tree and the other... The clothesline I had strung up before was still usable, so I just hung my laundry on it.
……
Zhao Ping's wife is named Xia Rong. She isn't particularly beautiful, but she could be described as pretty. Because she has given birth to two children, her waistline is a bit thicker.
She was chopping vegetables when she saw her husband come back: "You finished work so late at the dock today"
Zhao Ping didn't reply to her, only making foolish giggling noises.
"Found some money, he's so happy, what's he holding in his hands" Xia Rong took it and glanced at it, saying impatiently, "You're so shallow, you dug up a few clams and you're already this excited. Just wash your hands and rest, dinner will be ready soon."
"This is not what I dug."
"Did you buy that Tell me, where did you get the money You just waste it! This costs over twenty yuan per jin, and it's not a special occasion. Why are you buying this If you really want to eat it, I'll go catch some clams in the afternoon when the tide goes out."
Saying that, he directly grabbed Zhao Ping's ear.
"It wasn't bought, Ah Qin dug it up."
Xia Rong was originally just pretending to pull on his ear, but when he heard him say that, she really put more force into it: "You're lying again Just say it fell from the sky."
"Don't you believe me, it's really true."
"You must be kidding! Go check if your daughter is awake. Your son's test should be over by now, so he'll probably be back soon."
"It was really Aqin who dug it."
“Come on, come on, really, just go already.” Seeing her man’s back disappear, she sighed. She knew all too well that every time her husband asked her to help Zhao Qin, she would speak up for him. This time, however, there was progress; he at least knew to bring something back to placate her.
I took a look, the razor clam was still alive. I thought about it and decided to rinse it first, planning to stir-fry it with scallions.
Their daughter was a little over a week old, and she still slept most of the day. Zhao Ping glanced into the room and saw that she was sleeping soundly. A small fan whirred in the distance, shaking its head. He touched his daughter's head; it wasn't sweaty, so he left the room with peace of mind. Just then, his son came back from school, carrying his backpack.
As soon as he got home, he picked up the large teapot on the table and guzzled a big mouthful.
"How did you do on the test" My son took his end-of-year exams today. He's in second grade this year and will be going into third grade next year. They only tested him in math and language arts, so it was over by lunchtime.
"I should be able to get a double hundred," said Zhao Junyuan, the son, very naturally.
Zhao Ping had only read three books, so he was well-intentioned but powerless when it came to his son's studies. Luckily, this boy, like his uncle when he was young, hardly needed any worry about his studies.
"Mom, you know I did well on the exam, and I even bought razor clams especially," Zhao Junyuan said as he reached out to take them. His mother swatted his hand away: "Have you washed your hands Go wash your hands first."
The dishes are ready. There's a plate of cucumbers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried razor clams, and a bowl of seaweed soup.
After the meal was served, Zhao Ping picked up a large clam and pulled out the meat to offer his son: “Eat more.” He then put the clam shell in his mouth and sucked on it before tossing it onto the table.
"The chicken and duck are ready. Put them in the sackcloth bag, and deliver them to those two places this afternoon. Don't think I don't know, they were saying some nasty things about us." With that, Xia Rong sighed again.
"How did you know" Zhao Ping was astonished.
“The two of them walked and cursed all morning, even lingering by my doorstep. They weren't just cursing each other, they were cursing me too! They're trying to say how good you are to Qin, but when will you ever get a grip There are two young ones at home, and an older one outside. We've brought on such misfortune.”
Speaking and speaking, he actually started to cry.
"What's wrong with my uncle again" Zhao Junyuan asked curiously.
"When adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt," Zhao Ping said lightly, giving him another clam before turning to his wife and saying:
"A-Qin has really changed, don't you believe it He dug this clam today, and he sold it for over a thousand yuan. So many people at the dock saw it. You don't believe me You can ask them yourself."
He paid for the chicken and duck himself, otherwise those two families would have quarreled. It just so happened that I passed by the dock on my way home from work, and he saw me. He picked out ten or so clams and said they were for Xiao Jun to make up his body.
Xia Rong was stunned. This time, the man seemed to be telling the truth, even suggesting that she go out and investigate.
But thinking about Zhao Qin's character, it's really hard to believe.in stopped them with a stick.""Ah Ping, your brother got Old Lin's daughter pregnant and wants to elope with her. Old Lin caught them."When Zhao Ping heard the last sentence, he was so scared that he...
