Chapter 196: Almost Becoming a Millionaire?
The three girls were all very smart. When they saw their aunt winking at them, they all had a premonition that something was not going to go well.
Their brains turned quickly and they began to organize language in their minds...
Old Mrs. Zhou has such sharp eyes! She noticed the look of her daughter-in-law right away!
She glared at her daughter-in-law, "Why are you squeezing your eyes? Is your eyelid cramping?!"
"Haha..." My aunt smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right. My eyelids have been twitching today. I'm going to get some garlic peels!"
Then she turned and ran away...
At this time, the tourists who had been playing outside for a day had returned to the hotel one after another, and there were still some guests eating in the yard.
Old Mrs. Zhou said to Su Xing and the other three girls, "You three, follow me into the house!"
Su Xing and the other two looked at each other and reluctantly followed Grandma Zhou into her room.
"Grandma, I'm hungry..." Su Xing spoke first without waiting for Grandma Zhou to speak.
Old Mrs. Zhou looked at her granddaughter and said, "Just bear with it for a while! You won't starve to death anytime soon!"
wake:"……"
Tian Cheng took two steps forward, pulled Old Lady Zhou to sit on a chair, and stretched out his hand to massage her shoulders. "Grandma Zhou, are you tired? Let me massage your shoulders!"
Old Mrs. Zhou, "… Flattery is useless! Tell me, what happened yesterday?"
Zhang Xueyan, "Grandma Zhou, we were wrong..."
Mrs. Zhou: "Oh? What did you do wrong?"
Zhang Xueyan pushed her glasses subconsciously. What should she say...
Su Xing said: "We just think... it's not a big deal..."
Old Mrs. Zhou glared at her granddaughter, "Saving a life is no big deal?! If that kid's grandmother hadn't come to express her gratitude today, you would have said nothing, right? You got into Beijing University, you're capable now, and you don't take an old woman like me seriously, right?!"
Su Xing twitched his lips, "Grandma...what are you talking about! It's just...there are shark nets at the bathing beach, so normally there won't be any accidents. He must have had a leg cramp and drowned. I...it wasn't really dangerous for me to save him, and there were a lot of people swimming over to save him, it's just that I swam faster...I was just afraid that if I came back and told you guys about it, you'd get scared too..."
Tian Cheng continued to massage Grandma Zhou's shoulders while coquettishly saying, "Grandma Zhou, please don't be angry!"
Old Mrs. Zhou's upper body was shaking from being pinched, and she became less and less imposing...
Zhang Xueyan also said: "Grandma Zhou, we won't do that again..."
"You girls...ah...forget it..." Old Mrs. Zhou waved her hands helplessly and sighed, "Grandma is not really mad at you, it's just that you girls are too opinionated! Such a big thing, at least tell your parents when you come back!"
Old Mrs. Zhou continued to nag at the three girls for a while.
Su Xing and the other two quickly and humbly admitted their mistakes, and the matter was finally over.
Old Madam Zhou then told the story of the old lady from the Cao family who had sent a bunch of gifts. At the end, she added, "I accepted the gifts on my own initiative. She also sent me a check, but I didn't accept it and asked her to take it back. We didn't save people for the tens of thousands of dollars, and we don't need that little money."
Oh? A check!
Su Xing widened his eyes. Isn’t this the kind of plot that only appears in novels and TV dramas?
She teased her grandma deliberately, "I saw on TV that the checks were written in hundreds of thousands or millions! Grandma, what if they don't give me tens of thousands, but millions? Wouldn't I miss the chance to become a millionaire?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou subconsciously covered her chest, "No way...right? How rich must he be to spend millions at once?"
She was in such a hurry to stuff the check back to the other party that she didn't even pay attention to the amount on it!
Seeing her grandmother's expression and tone, Su Xing couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Xueyan and Tian Cheng couldn't help laughing either.
At this time, Old Mrs. Zhou also realized that her granddaughter was teasing her on purpose!
She slapped Su Xing on the back, "This kid! Are you trying to tease your grandma for fun? You have no respect for your elders!"
But at this moment, she also felt a little emotional. During this meeting, she found that her granddaughter had changed a lot and became more cheerful. It seemed that she had really grown up...
……
On the third morning after Su Xing and the other three girls arrived in Xingcheng, after breakfast, they did not go out to play, but followed Uncle Zhou to the fishing farm.
They picked a lot of live seafood, packed them into several boxes, and sent them to their family, relatives and friends using cold chain dry mail express.
Su Xing mailed two large boxes to Tang Wu and He Xu respectively.
Even now, cold chain express delivery is not as developed as it is in later generations, and the express delivery fee is a bit outrageous!
But no matter how expensive it is, she has to mail these two gifts!
When the tide was low in the afternoon, they went to experience the joy of catching seafood and dug up some small crabs and clams.
Su Xing dug a small bucket by himself, while Tian Cheng and Zhang Xueyan together dug the bottom of the bucket.
Unconvinced, Tian Cheng poked the sand with a shovel, "Why? You can dig out something from the hole you dug, but I can't dig out anything from the hole I dug!"
Su Xing smiled and said, "Didn't I teach you how to identify trachoma?"
Tian Cheng, "I clearly found it according to the method you said..."
Zhang Xueyan sat on a reef, threw away the shovel, and decided to stop digging!
In the evening, the three girls, covered in mud and sand, walked back. The setting sun cast their shadows on the beach, stretching them very long...
……
On July 7, Su Xing, Zhang Xueyan and Tian Cheng were going back to City H.
The night before, Old Mrs. Zhou and her aunt packed a lot of local specialties for the three girls, mostly dried seafood, snacks and the like, filling up their suitcases.
In the morning, Uncle Zhou drove the three girls to the train station, and Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Zhou also went to see them off.
In 2013, platform tickets had not yet been cancelled across the country, so the three members of the Zhou family bought platform tickets and sent the girls onto the train.
"Xiao Xing, bring your classmates back to play when you have time!" said Mrs. Zhou.
Grandpa Zhou said, "There are a few boxes of Spanish mackerel dumplings in that plastic bag. Remember to eat them on the way!"
"Yeah!" Su Xing nodded heavily, "I'll come back to see my grandma, grandpa, uncle and aunt when I have time!"
"Goodbye, Grandma Zhou, Grandpa Zhou, and Uncle Zhou!"
"Grandma, grandpa, and uncle, I will miss you!"
The train started moving and the three girls waved outside from the window.
The old couple of the Zhou family and Uncle Zhou waved on the platform.
The train was getting faster and faster, and the shadows of the three people outside gradually turned into three black dots, but they never left.
Su Xing clung to the window sill until he could no longer see the three black spots, then he looked away...
……
Express delivery with paid postage is fast.
Su Xing was still on the train when he received messages from Tang Wu and He Xu respectively.
Tang Wu: "Xiao Xing, my dear, I received the seafood you sent me. There are so many of them! Thank you!"
Xu: "Received, very fresh, thank you. (Picture)"
