After Entering the Book, She Became Rich in the 1980s

Chapter 402 Interest

After dinner, the family got on the tractor and went home.

Zhou Ying and Zhou Zhou talked about the school's New Year's Day cultural performance.

Zhou Ying: "I have to dance when I go on stage, and I have to practice dance every day after school. Does your school have any performances?"

Zhou Zhou: "We do too. I also want to dance. Some people in our class dance, some sing, and some perform shows."

"Your class has so many programs? Our class only has dancing!"

Li Xiuxian: "Zhou Zhou's school is a primary school in the village. There are only one or two classes in each grade, and the whole school only has about ten classes. If they don't prepare a few more programs for each class, the artistic performance will be over in a while. What’s the point?”

Zhou Zhou didn't say anything after hearing this, and she didn't know why.

Jiang Xia turned around and asked the two children: "Do you like dancing, singing, or performing?"

Winter vacation is coming soon. We can arrange some interest classes for Zhou Zhou. Zhou Zhou seems to like music.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying immediately said loudly: "I like dancing."

Zhou Zhou: "I like singing, not dancing."

She was envious when she saw other people dancing on Children's Day, but now that she can dance on stage, she finds that it's just like that, not fun.

Jiang Xia asked again: "Is there anything else you like? What about painting? What about piano? Do you like it?"

Zhou Zhou: "I like painting, and I also like piano. The piano music is great!"

Jiang's mother gave some piano music tapes to Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia put them next to the cassette recorder and played them several times. Zhou Zhou heard them and thought they sounded good.

Zhou Ying: "What is a piano?"

Zhou Zhou: "An instrument, black, very big, and the music it plays is very nice! Thumb thump thump thump, thump thump thump..."

Zhou Zhou hummed the melody of "Autumn Whispers".

Jiang Xia is not surprised. Zhou Zhou has a good memory and she can sing a song she has heard once.

It’s just that there are probably no singing classes in town right now.

I can only buy more tapes and bring them back to play for Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Ying: “…”

"Dum thump thump thump...what's so good about it? There are no lyrics."

Zhou Zhou: "I can't sing it. I'll play it for you when I get home. You'll feel good once you hear it."

"OK!"

Jiang Xia asked Zhou Chenglei: "Do you know if there is any piano teacher in this town?"

Before Zhou Chenglei could say anything, Li Xiuxian immediately said: "Yes, there is someone who can teach! I heard that there is an old lady in the town who came back from studying abroad and knows how to play the piano. She only accepted students this year, and she didn't dare to accept them before. I saw the city There are people who specially bring their children to our town. I heard that a class is very expensive with her. But some of her students charge one yuan a class, and some students charge two yuan a class. It is cheaper for her to take the two students from the town. I heard it’s five yuan a class! It lasts an hour.”

Tian Caihua was stunned when she heard this: "Five yuan? This is too expensive!"

Li Xiuxian: "No! I don't know if it's a matter of paying for the food. I saw the parents of the two students in the city driving their children over in small cars, so I charged a little more."

Jiang Xia: "Probably not. The price is probably based on the difficulty."

Piano lessons are not cheap even in modern times.

Jiang Xia heard an old university professor say that she used to learn piano when she was a child, and she was taught by a professor-level educator for ten yuan an hour. At the associate professor level, it costs eight yuan an hour.

Even in modern times, the price of piano lessons is not cheap. Different levels have different prices, and it depends on whether the teacher is good or not. Different teachers also have different prices, and the gap is huge.

The old lady in town must be more powerful, otherwise she wouldn't charge five yuan a class.

Jiang Xia planned to go home and ask Zhou Zhou privately if he wanted to learn.

Li Xiuxian asked Jiang Xia: "Xiao Xia, do you want to send Zhou Zhou to piano lessons?"

Jiang Xia: "Well, it depends on whether Zhou Zhou wants to learn it or not."

Li Xiuxian asked Zhou Zhou: "Does Zhou Zhou want to learn piano during the vacation?"

Zhou Zhou shook his head.

It's so expensive, she doesn't want it.

Li Xiuxian smiled and said: "If Zhou Zhou wants to learn, he can go learn with his sister! It will be a holiday then..."

Zhou Chengsen: "When the holidays come, Zhou Zhou can live in the town with his sister. Can my second uncle send you to learn piano together?"

Li Xiuxian: "..."

She originally planned to send Yingying back to her old house during the winter vacation, so that she could learn English from Jiang Xia. Zhou Ying immediately said after hearing this: "Okay! Zhou Zhou, go live with me in the town! Let's learn piano and English together!"

Zhou Zhou shook his head: "I only like to listen, not learn."

When Zhou Ying heard this: "Then I won't learn it either."

Li Xiuxian: "..."

I really want to die from my daughter’s lack of air intake!

Jiang Xia said nothing more and would ask again after the holiday.

Now Zhou Zhou probably didn't dare to learn because he heard that a class was expensive.

If Zhou Zhou is interested, Jiang Xia will naturally have a way for her to learn.

After the winter solstice, the sun is sunny every day, there is no wind, and it is warm.

Zhou Chengsen and Li Xiuxian came back these two evenings to take the Li family and his son out to sea.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

The couple returned to the village after dinner. They went to sea at 5:30 and did not return until about 4:00 the next morning. After selling the fish, they went back to the town to sleep.

They took the morning off these two days, catching up on sleep in the morning and going to work in the afternoon.

We went out to sea at night and caught a lot of fish. After deducting fuel costs and labor costs, we made thirty or forty yuan on the first day, and seventy or eighty yuan on the second day.

But after just two days and two nights, Li Xiuxian couldn't stand it anymore, and neither could the Li family's father and son.

This day and night are so uncomfortable!

Li Qingmin took the lead and said: "We are already familiar with each other. Ah Sen no longer needs to take us out to sea at night. Let's go out to sea during the day! We get up at 4:30 in the morning and go to sea with Ah Lei and the others. We really can't stand going out to sea at night, we are too sleepy!"

Li's father also said: "I can't go to sea at night, I'm too sleepy. It's so noisy at home during the day that I can't sleep at all."

Zhou Chengsen: "Okay. You can go out at night or during the day. You just need to set a time."

So on the third day, the father and son finally appeared at the pier on time at 4:30, and went to sea with Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengxin.

Every day after the winter solstice, Zhou Chenglei went out to sea early and returned late every day.

Jiang Xia is also very busy at home.

More than 5,000 kilograms of dried small fish need to be fried, and Jiang Xia also helps pack them every day.

She used to help light the fire, but after burning the fire from morning to night, she smelled too much oil smoke and lost her appetite for food.

She no longer lit the fire, but was responsible for weighing and packaging together with Zhou's mother.

Others work from morning to night, but Jiang Xia works for an hour and takes an hour's rest.

During the hour of rest, Jiang Xia lay in the yard to bask in the sun, take calcium supplements, and listen to Korean audio tapes.

Or work as a translator under the grape trellis, brush up on college entrance examination questions in various subjects, draw fabric patterns, and submit them to the textile factory.

Thanks to countless handwritten newspaper assignments and painting assignments in his life, Jiang Xia is good at painting.

Aunt Fen and He Xinghuan carried a large basin of dried fish here for Mother Zhou to pack.

When the two returned to the next door, Aunt Fen couldn't help but said: "Xiaoxia is so diligent and motivated. I have never seen her go out to play."

There are also many newly married wives in the village, some are diligent and some are lazy.

The village's definition of a new daughter-in-law's diligence is to do the housework well: wash, cook, clean, raise chickens, and grow vegetables. If she does these things well, she is considered diligent.

It’s not easy to do this well, but no matter how much housework you do, you still have a lot of free time every day to chat with everyone and play cards.

If you are more diligent, you can just make money by weaving fishing nets and chatting at the same time.

Except for Zhou Guohua's wife, I have never seen anyone like Jiang Xia.

He Xinghuan: "How can you make so much money without hard work? The God of Wealth does not take care of lazy people."

"That's right."

The busy days came to the day before New Year's Day.

Happy winter solstice!

There is still one chapter left for the night, so friends who haven’t slept yet, don’t wait any longer.

I'm a bit busy today, I haven't finished coding yet.
