Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

In the blink of an eye, all the crops in the field were harvested, and the members had to continue planting cabbages. Zhang Xiuhua took a day off and took her children to the county town.

She took them to the largest bookstore in the county.

Baolin and Yaoyao whispered to each other, "Why do parents like to come to this place every time they come to the county town?"

Zhang Xiuhua ignored the two people's complaints and took Zhuzhu to the story area.

There were not many fairy tales at that time, but Zhang Xiuhua remembered that there were comic strips of the four great classics.

She bought a copy of Journey to the West, but has not bought any other books yet, mainly because Zhuzhu is too young to understand them.

There are words and pictures on the comic strips, and Zhuzhu finds it interesting just by looking at the pictures.

This is also because children at this time have limited resources and do not have many fun things.

Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that Zhuzhu would find the book boring after reading a few pages, so she asked Jilin to read two pages to Zhuzhu every day after school.

Zhuzhu was fascinated after listening to it twice, and repeatedly urged her brother to continue.

Jilin wanted to talk too, but he had to do his homework. “You have to learn to recognize the words by yourself, and you can read by yourself. You don’t need me to help you read.”

Zhuzhu glared at him angrily, but there was nothing she could do about her brother.

Jilin is a good brother after all. He taught Zhuzhu to learn how to use a dictionary. "As long as you learn this, you will be able to recognize new words you don't know by yourself."

Zhuzhu looked at her favorite comic book, then glanced at the thick dictionary, pondered for a while, and finally gave in. "It's just learning to read. How difficult is that? I'm sure I can learn it!"

Zhuzhu fell in love with Chinese class. She even wanted to learn how to read so that she could understand comic strips.

Zhang Xiuhua was still not satisfied. She thought it was not enough to just like Chinese, she also had to learn mathematics.

Mathematics is a basic subject that can train people's scientific thinking. To put it bluntly, if you learn science well, you will not be easily fooled.

In order to arouse Zhuzhu's interest in learning mathematics, he had to suffer losses.

Zhang Xiuhua spent several days thinking about how to trick Zhuzhu. She thought of several tricks. Now all she had to do was implement them. How should she trick her?

It's not good to be deceived by outsiders. The main reason is that she couldn't find professional actors. She had to do it herself.

When Zhang Xiuhua got home from school that day, she asked Zhuzhu how many points she had now.

Zhuzhu has started school now. She also has to clean and do laundry, which helps her accumulate points. But she is too young and doesn't have enough points. She can only use her points to go to a state-owned restaurant once a year.

Zhuzhu took the points book and accumulated 85 points this year. You know, she didn't check the hygiene every day, and only when she checked would she get points.

Zhang Xiuhua asked her if she wanted to exchange the points for money.

Zhuzhu is still young and doesn’t know the benefits of money yet. “What’s the point of changing it to money?”

"You can buy comic books. When you can read, you can buy a few more copies of Journey to the West." Zhang Xiuhua blinked her eyes and tempted her with comic books. A set of Journey to the West has 25 books, and she only bought four before.

Zhuzhu was really moved, "I'll change!"

Zhang Xiuhua immediately offered to exchange one point for one cent, "How much do you want to exchange?"

Zhuzhu clapped her hands domineeringly, "Change them all!"

Zhang Xiuhua gave her 85 cents and also prepared a small wallet for her.

Zhuzhu was about to put the money away when Zhang Xiuhua called her, "Zhuzhu, do you want to earn more money? You can't buy many books with this little money."

Zhuzhu was fascinated by the comic strips. When she heard about the way to make money, she nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes! How do I make money?"

"You give mom a back massage. It's five cents per time." Zhang Xiuhua looked at her with a smile.

Before Zhuzhu could answer, Jilin, who just came into the room, heard this and ran over, "Mom, let me give you a back massage. I want to make money, too."

When Zhuzhu heard her brother trying to steal her job, she immediately pushed him aside and said, "Brother Jilin, I was here first."

Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that the two would start to quarrel, so she hurriedly tried to stop them, "Don't quarrel! Don't quarrel! You both have a chance. How about this, one of you will be responsible for massaging my back, and the other will be responsible for massaging my legs. You will both get five cents."

When Zhuzhu heard this, she immediately asked her brother to massage her back while she massaged her legs. Because her back was too high and she was too short, it was more convenient for him to massage her legs.

The two children pounded the floor hard, and from time to time they asked Zhang Xiuhua if the strength was appropriate.

Zhang Xiuhua pretended to enjoy it, "It fits! It's so comfortable!"

She asked Jilin, "What do you want the money for?!"

"I want to save money to buy a model." Ji Lin knew his own limitations. It was impossible for him to become the top scorer in the high school entrance examination in his lifetime. It would be more practical for him to save money to buy a model.

Zhang Xiuhua narrowed her eyes and smiled. "That's fine. If you want to make money, I will outsource the pig farming to you. Every day after school, you will be responsible for cutting a basket of pig grass, and I will give you five cents a day. And it won't delay your homework."

When Jilin heard about this good news, he immediately jumped up and said, "Okay! I can do it!"

Seeing her brother working to earn money, Zhuzhu looked at Zhang Xiuhua eagerly and said, "Mom, I want to make money too!"

"Then you will be responsible for cutting grass and feeding the chickens." Zhang Xiuhua thought for a moment and then said, "You go with your brother."

Zhuzhu immediately became happy.

After the two of them finished massaging their backs, they stood side by side and asked for praise, "Mom, how was my massage?"

Zhang Xiuhua stretched. The two children didn't have much strength, and the pats on her back and legs were like tickling. But she still praised them a few times, "Not bad!"

She first took out a nickel and gave it to Jilin. She rummaged through her wallet, pretending she had no change, "I have a dime here. Zhuzhu, give me your nickel."

Zhuzhu obediently handed her the five cents in her wallet, and Zhang Xiuhua gave her a dime.

Zhuzhu was about to leave with the money, but Zhang Xiuhua called her again, "Zhuzhu, I have five cents now, can you give me back the ten cents?!"

Zhuzhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly handed her the dime that she had just received and was not even warm yet. Zhang Xiuhua took the wallet and left.

Zhuzhu put the five cents back into her wallet and jumped up and down to feed the chickens. Jilin was stunned and grabbed her arm, "Why did you give your mother another dime?"

Zhuzhu said as a matter of course, "Mom didn't have five cents, so she gave me ten cents, and I gave her the change?!"

Although she doesn't know how to add and subtract, her mother will definitely not lie to her.

Ji Lin has always been the most patient with Zhu Zhu, and he patiently said, "Take a look at your wallet again. Is there more money?"

Zhuzhu was confused, but she still looked at her wallet. Eh? No, she still had 85 cents. It didn't get any more! Where was the five cents she had earned from the back massage?

"Are you stupid? You originally had 85 cents, and then you got 5 cents for the back massage, so the total should be 90 cents. But you only have 85 cents now, which means your mother didn't give you any money." Ji Lin looked at him as if he was an idiot.

Although Zhuzhu was young, she had self-esteem. She lowered her head and calculated for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. She had never learned math and couldn't even add one plus one, so how could she calculate five plus five?

But Zhuzhu felt that the money in her hand did not increase, which was a problem. She panicked and ran to her mother with her short legs, "Mom, my money is wrong!"

The child just thought that his mother had made a mistake in the calculation and didn't know that his mother did it on purpose.
