Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 288 Mother Zhou who leads by example

"what"

   At the door, Zhou Huimin, who was about to take out the key to open the door, saw that the door of her house was unlocked, and she wondered why her mother came back so early today.

   pushed the door open and heard the sound of water coming from the kitchen, Zhou Huimin didn't run in to confirm, but holding the clothes box, she turned to look at the soldier who helped her carry the bicycle up behind her.

   "Brother Soldier, come in and drink a glass of water."

   "Xiaomin, you're back," in the kitchen, Mother Zhou, who heard the door open, came out.

   Before Zhou Huimin could respond, Mother Zhou came out of the kitchen and saw her daughter was holding a bunch of things in her hands, followed by a man who looked a little familiar.

   Zhou's mother wondered, "Who is this?"

   Zhou Huimin put the clothes box on the sofa, then poured water for the soldier, and asked his mother, "Mom, why did you come back so early today?"

   "I have a rest this afternoon." Mother Zhou wiped her wet hands on the apron around her waist.

   Zhou Huimin immediately introduced: "Mom, this is the elder brother of the military, he is"

   Speaking of this, Zhou Huimin didn't know how to continue, because she didn't want to bring things up just now, but seeing Junzi's bitter face, she didn't know how to refuse.

   In the face of someone who brought her gifts all the way, and then drove them home, Zhou Huimin couldn't help but refuse.

   Without Zhou Huimin's further introduction, the soldier put down the water glass and said, "Hello, Mama Zhou, the boss asked me to bring a gift to Miss Zhou."

   "Boss?" Hearing this, Mother Zhou suddenly remembered that she had seen Junzi and Tietou in the cafeteria one day.

   I didn't recognize it just now, because I was a little old and my memory was not very good. Now, after being reminded by the military officer, she remembered it all at once.

   "What, Mother Zhou, Miss Zhou, I'll go first if I have nothing to do."

   After he finished speaking, Junzi couldn't care to drink the water, he turned around and left without waiting for the two of them to respond.

   "Uh, uh" Seeing this, Zhou's mother and Zhou Huimin wanted to speak up, but before they could say anything, the soldier was gone.

   Then, hearing the sound of the car starting downstairs, Mother Zhou glanced at the clothes box on the sofa.

   Then he looked at his daughter and asked, "These are all given to you by the boss?"

   "Hmm." Zhou Huimin blinked and replied softly.

   "Didn't you go to school today?" Zhou's mother frowned.

   Zhou Huimin quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, Mom, I met Lily and the others at the school gate when I was after school."

   Having said that, Zhou Huimin honestly explained what happened to her mother.

   Zhou Huimin is aware of her mother's character. As long as all her requirements are reasonable, her mother will do her best to satisfy her.

   Ever since she was a child, she knew how hard her mother worked for her, especially for him to go to school and to satisfy all her reasonable hobbies and requirements.

   For this reason, I work hard outside every day, and I have long been exhausted.

  If she skipped class, although her mother would not beat her and scold her, she would definitely feel very sad.

   Hearing that her daughter was not skipping class, Mother Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at the clothes box on the sofa and the stack of concert tickets in her daughter's hand.

   She doesn't know what Yang Chen's intentions are for her daughter. If it is ordinary things, she will accept them, but these things are far beyond the normal range.

   Seeing that her mother didn't speak, Zhou Huimin lowered her head and whispered, "Mom, I'll call him later and ask him to send someone to take the things back."

   Hearing her daughter's words, Mother Zhou's face showed a hint of relief.

   She has worked hard all these years, no matter how hard or tired she is, she insists on persevering, in order to nurture this only daughter well.

   Now, her daughter does not want to keep things, but wants to return them, and Zhou's mother is very relieved.

   So, after hesitating for a while, he said, "Since you have brought it back, accept it."

   "Mom?" Hearing this, Zhou Huimin raised her head, her expression a little stunned.

   Zhou's mother touched her daughter's hair, "You also know the passbook and password at home. If the boss comes to the house next time, remember to return the money for these things to the boss."

   "Remember?" Mother Zhou said seriously.

   Zhou's mother has set an example for her daughter since she was a child. Although her family is poor, she has the principle of being a human being. Zhou's mother has taught her daughter how to behave since she was a child.

   It's not that she doesn't want her daughter to receive some small gifts from her classmates and friends, but the things that Yang Chen sent over have exceeded her principles.

   Even though she knew that Yang Chen didn't lack this money, Mother Zhou didn't want her daughter to accept other people's things for no reason, and she didn't want her daughter to develop the habit of getting something for nothing.

   Zhou Huimin heard what her mother said, and the last bit of hesitation in her heart was all dismissed at once.

   Then, he shook his head firmly and said, "Mom, I will call him later and ask him to take the things back. I don't like these things."

   She has been dependent on her mother since she was a child. She knows that her mother used to have multiple jobs and worked several jobs in order to support her and support her in her studies.

  Because of this, Zhou Huimin just went to middle school, so she found a tutoring job so that she could subsidize her family and lighten the burden for her mother.

   Whenever she saw her mother secretly hiding in the house taking medicine, Zhou Huimin felt very distressed.

   After more than ten years of continuous fatigue, Zhou's mother has already accumulated a whole body of illness. The money in the passbook is all life-saving money. If there is an accident one day and there is no money, she does not know what to do.

  So, when she heard that her mother asked her to move the money from her passbook, Zhou Huimin had no idea what to do.

   "Xiao Min"

   Zhou's mother wanted to say something when she saw this, but Zhou Huimin bent down and picked up the clothes box on the sofa, and walked to the room without saying a word.

   Looking at her daughter's back, Zhou's mother sighed softly. As her daughter grew up, she became more sensible and had her own ideas, so she couldn't say more about some things.

   In her whole life, after the death of her daughter's father, it can be said that she has lived entirely for her daughter.

   In order for her daughter not to be bullied by her stepfather, Zhou's mother never thought of finding someone to share the pressure in her life.

   Therefore, after hearing Zhou Huimin's words, Zhou's mother felt both guilt and relief.

   Back in the room, Zhou Huimin put the clothes box on her bed and looked at the beautifully packaged clothes boxes.

   Zhou Huimin gritted his teeth and turned his head away, trying not to focus his eyes on the clothes box.

Heart of beauty in everyone.

   At her age, it is time to distinguish between beauty and ugliness and learn to dress up.

   The clothes in the box had a fatal attraction to her, and she was afraid that she would not be able to stop when she opened one by herself.
