Chapter 871 887: Let it go When Zhou Huaian, Fang Dongming, Lao Xiazi and a group of children walked to the brigade's drying dam, which is now the brewing workshop of the pickle factory, Zhang Xiuxiang came out pushing a bicycle.
Since Zhou Huaijun worked at the hydropower station, after the pickle factory was established, Zhang Xiuxiang stayed in the village to manage the pickle factory with Zhou's mother and Secretary Xu and to look after the school-going children.

Zhou Huairong and Zhao Huifang were responsible for coordinating farmers to grow vegetables needed by the pickle factory, Li Qiuyue and Zhou Huaishan were in charge of harvesting mushrooms and truffles, while Zhou Yiding and his wife followed Zhou Huaian to the county town.

Zhou Jiakang saw her coming out and said, "Mom, we'll have lunch at Dad's house. Let's go fishing with Dad!"

"Be obedient when you get there, and don't run around." Zhang Xiuxiang bent down and touched Xiao Mi'er, who was holding Xiao Jiu'er's hand tightly. "Yaoyao, it's so sunny, come home with Er Niang, okay?"

Xiaomier shook her head and pushed her out, "If you don't go home, just go fishing!"

"Okay, okay! I won't go back. Second Mother will go back first." Zhang Xiuxiang gave Zhou Jiakang a few more instructions before riding her bicycle back.

A group of children were walking in front, carrying buckets of water. Xiaomier didn't want Zhou Huaian to hold her. She used her short legs to move her legs vigorously and followed her brothers and sisters, fearing that they would abandon her and run away.

As soon as the group arrived at the bridge, they saw sisters Zhou Xiaoqian and Zhao Meina riding bicycles in front, followed by brothers Zhou Jiaming and Zhao Xiaochuan.

"Sister, we are going fishing. Do you want to come with us?" Zhou Xiaowen's cousins cheered and ran towards them.

Zhou Jiakang pulled Zhou Huaian, asked him to bend down, and whispered: "Dad, Brother Liang said that I like Sister Mina!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Huaian knocked him, "Your sister Mina is Brother Ming's master, he worships her, don't you know?"

"Oh!" Zhou Jiakang covered his forehead, "I also admire Sister Mina. I want to go to the university where she studies in the future."

Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "As long as you can get into Mena's school, Dad will give you a motorcycle."

Fang Dongming smiled and said, "Xiaokang, it's a motorcycle! If it were me, I would do my best too!"

"Uncle, I know!" Zhou Jiakang looked at Zhou Huaian with shining eyes, "Dad, do you keep your word?"

"Humph!" Zhou Huaian glared at him, "I can't do anything except play with you guys. Didn't I give you the reward for good grades that time?"

"Hehe!" Zhou Jiakang smiled innocently, "I started working hard when school started. I will study hard in the next six years and try to earn enough money to buy a motorcycle."

Zhou Huaian smiled and rubbed him, "Okay, I'm counting on you!"

Xiao Jiuer, who was holding her sister's hand, pulled him back and said, "Dad, I want a motorcycle too!"

Xiaomier quickly followed her brother and said, "Dad, I want one too. Mine is for you, brother!"

"Hey! Whose little fool is this!" Zhou Huaian picked up his daughter with a smile and said to Xiao Jiuer, "When you can get into the best university like your brothers and sisters, I will buy you a car!"

Xiao Jiuer looked at him, "Are you talking about the kind that can carry people? Not the toy kind?"

Zhou Jiakang pulled him, "Silly boy, of course it's the kind that can carry people! You have toys too!"
