In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Zhou Yizhou took his parents and son up to the third floor. "Dad, you and mom will sleep in the master bedroom, and Binbin and I will sleep in the second bedroom. The quilt covers and sheets are all new."
Chen Wenlian looked at the clean and spacious bedroom and nodded. "I'm sorry to have caused trouble for Zhou Xiang and the others. If you've really decided, then do it well and make it look good. Make Hu Yingying regret it!"
Zhou Yizhou looked down at his son and said, "Binbin, I agree to divorce your mother. Do you have anything to say?"
Binbin shook his head and said, "I have no objection. I just want to follow Dad and Grandpa and Grandma."
Chen Wenlian took her grandson from her son and said, "Binbin, good boy. From today on, grandma will no longer be depressed. Grandma will focus on taking care of you. If you want to study here, then come! I see that the two healthy and energetic children are also generous and polite. With such companions, you will no longer be lonely."
Zhou Weibin immediately raised his head and said, "Thank you, grandma. I will work hard. When I grow up, I won't run away anymore. Now, I can't beat them."
Chen Wenlian's eyes were filled with tears. Her grandson had suffered a great injustice. "Okay, okay, you have to eat more to grow taller. Yuanyuan said so."
Zhou Weibin raised his hand to wipe away the tears that fell from the corners of his grandmother's eyes. "Well! Thinking about the delicious food at my aunt's house, I will definitely gain weight."
"Okay! Let's go take a nap!"
After the father and son left the master bedroom, Chen Wenlian took a deep breath and said, "We really should cheer up. Our son and grandson both need us."
Zhou Zuoping nodded. "A change of environment is good. I've been hiding at home because I run into the sarcastic Wang Guochun every time I go out. Just like Binbin, I need to leave the familiar environment to start a good life."
"Well! Then listen to your son and stay here first! Since he wants to work with Zhou Xiang, you can give him some guidance so that he can achieve some results."
"Do you agree that I should come to this small town to do something?"
"Just pretend! Actually, you've already fallen in love, but you're just waiting for me to finally give in."
"Of course. If the head of the family doesn't agree, I won't make the decision on my own."
"Stop talking nonsense, take a break! It really wasn't a wasted trip. I feel relieved now, and the three of you have new plans. Let's start anew and start anew."
After waking up from her lunch break, Chen Wenlian felt even more relaxed. She nudged her husband and said, "Get up! Don't sleep any more! Aren't we going to the park?"
Zhou Zuoping opened his eyes and asked, "Is it dawn yet?"
Chen Wenlian chuckled, "Are you sleepy? It's 2:30 in the afternoon now."
Zhou Zuoping also laughed, "Oh! I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time. I really thought I was sleeping at night! Get up, get up and go fishing. I haven't fished in many years."
After washing up and going downstairs, Zhou Yizhou and his son were already waiting there.
Ling Ran took the family of four to the park, and Zhou's father and mother also accompanied them to show their hospitality.
Zhou wanted to call Lu Jin and ask him to go to the county town to buy two electric water heaters.
Even if the two extra families do not eat separately, they still have to wash separately.
Ling Ran accompanied his wife for a walk and then came back. When he heard his wife asking him to buy a water heater, he quickly called Lu Jin and asked him to buy another one.
Zhou wanted to ask him why he bought so much.
"Let's install one in this building."
"Electric water heaters aren't very easy to use right now. If it weren't for the convenience of those two families, I wouldn't have bought one!"
"Then I'll ask Lu Jin to buy a LPG truck?"
"Okay, tell him right away."
By the time Lu Jin came back from buying the water heater, it was already past four o'clock. The installation was quite quick. When Zhou Zuoping and Chen Wenlian came back covered in sweat, the hot water in the electric water heater was already boiling.
Chen Wenlian felt embarrassed, "Oh! This has caused you too much trouble."
She was just thinking about whether to bring hot water upstairs to wash!
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, as long as you live comfortably."
"Comfortable, comfortable! I was the one who woke your Uncle Zhou up during his lunch break! He slept so soundly!"
Zhou Zuoping raised the bucket in his hand and said, "I caught two crucian carp. This is the right way to live in retirement."
Zhou Xiang felt relieved. As long as he could deal with these two, Zhou Yizhou would have nothing to worry about.
"Where are Brother Zhou and Binbin?"
"Playing on the suspension bridge! Don't want to come back."
"It's good that Binbin can play freely. When Jiankangkang has a holiday in a while, ask them to take him out to play."
"Yes! It's time to let him have some fun. Ever since your Uncle Zhou retired, he's been without a playmate. After all, your dad isn't as old as your Uncle Zhou. Calling him uncle or aunt makes us look younger."
Zhou Xiang laughed and said, "Uncle Zhou was the mayor at that time. I called him 'Uncle', but it sounded like a country cadre to me."
"Hahaha, kid, you're always funny when you talk. Okay, I'll go upstairs to wash up, and then come downstairs to help make dinner."
Binbin played until Jiankang came home from school, then ran back. As soon as he came back, his grandmother took him upstairs to take a shower.
Zhou Zuoping looked at the two grandchildren with a smile. It was great that they finally regained their vitality and were even more lively than before.
After dinner, we were all full again, so we strolled around the park and sat under the willow trees. Only when Lu Jin’s loudspeaker announced that the park was closing did we stroll back to Zhou’s house.
"Oh my! After this day, everything feels so good and smooth. Zuo Ping, do you think this park is making money? It seems to have quite a few visitors, and I heard they even have annual passes."
Zhou Zuoping chuckled, "I can see that she's not doing this for the purpose of making money. Not to mention the cost of building the park, she hasn't even recouped the money she spent on the promotional video!"
“Isn’t this a losing business?”
"It won't be a loss, 70 years! It's just that the return on investment will be slower. It will be great to have a place to entertain relatives and friends."
"At first, when I heard that this park was privately owned by Zhou Xiang, I couldn't believe it. But after seeing the facilities inside, I suddenly had expectations for the school she mentioned. It must be unique."
"Yes! When she and Ling Ran bring it up again, I'll agree. It's really nice to be able to make some use of my remaining energy."
Chen Wenlian shook her head and laughed, "You! Still acting like you used to! You can't be like this after you've really helped me with something!"
"Don't I even understand this? I said I'd think about it, and you agreed before the day's over. It feels a bit hasty."
"You can talk official rhetoric and use official tactics as you please! However, you must pay attention to the accommodation issue in the future. We can't live in the Zhou family all the time, right?"
"Don't worry! There will definitely be arrangements. Just take care of Binbin."
The next day, Zhou Yizhou went back to deal with things. Guan Bo came with the village chief. The villagers' meeting of Guanjia Village passed the decision to sell the land, but only to Zhou Xiang.
Ling Ran asked Zhou Zuoping to go with him to see the land, and Zhou Xiang naturally wanted to go too. Her ideas had to be combined with the terrain.
After crossing the intersection and stepping onto the new cement road heading north, Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "I had the foresight to build this road."
When Zhou Zuoping heard that the brand new cement road under his feet was built by Zhou Xiang, he couldn't help but feel full of confidence in his son's future. Zhou Xiang definitely had a solid foundation.
