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...
Jiang Weifang was surprised. "This? How old is Yuanyuan?"
"Almost a year and a half."
“That’s really clever.”
Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "The smart one in our family is my aunt."
Zhou Xiang brought over two boxes, both of which contained Guanyin pendants and Buddha pendants. "Come, come here healthy. Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. Here are two Guanyin pendants and two Buddha pendants. You can wear them together with your sister and Shanshan!"
Jian Jiankang shook his head, "We don't want them. Boys don't carry these things."
"Where's Binbin? Do you want one?"
Binbin walked over to Zhou Xiang and asked, "Aunt, can I have the pendant that matches Yuanyuan's?"
Before Zhou Xiang could answer, Binbin was carried away by Jiankang. "No, I can't just give my sister's significant other away."
Everyone in the dining room burst into laughter. These kids understood this a long time ago.
Yuanyuan scratched her head. What were they laughing at?
Zhou Xiang took out two Buddha pendants and handed them to her, "Here! They're yours and Shanshan's."
"Thank you, auntie."
Yuanyuan took two pendants that looked the same but had slightly different colors, found Shanshan, and casually stuffed one into her hand. "Sister Shanshan, here, let's make a pair."
The laughter that had just subsided in the dining room broke out again.
"Thank you Yuanyuan, thank you aunt."
Tian Li put it on her daughter and she liked it very much. In the past, her daughter was in poor health, and others suggested buying her a jade ornament to wear. The family had always been short of money. Today, thanks to Xiao Yuanyuan and Zhou Xiang's generosity, she got one and she was very happy.
In the evening, Ling Ran hugged his wife and kissed her for a long time. He finally got what he wanted.
"Wife, I love you so much!"
Zhou Xiang, who had no romantic cells, pushed him away and said, "You're almost suffocating me. Be careful that your daughter won't be able to breathe."
"You're fooling me too. She's still swimming! But I have a question I'm holding back!"
"Ask! I usually don't hold people back."
"How come you didn't get hit?"
"Do you want us to be lambs to be slaughtered together?"
"Of course not, that's all I have a little doubt about."
"So far, we have seen that the Kong family is arrogant and presumptuous. It seems that what they are most proud of is medicine, and the head of the Kong family was once drugged by me.
That uncle-in-law, disregarding the two previous family heads, dared to stand out arrogantly. He must have used drugs. Usually, people like him like to meet their opponents or underestimate them. I was already holding my breath when I was talking nonsense with him.
"That's not right! He had already taken the medicine, and I was holding my breath when he stood up."
Zhou Xiang raised his hand and patted his forehead, "It seems that you are still not used to the time difference between my space teleportation and the space inside."
"Wife, did you enter the space before you fell?"
"Of course, didn't I fall on you? I used you to position myself."
"Wife, you've become bad, even fooling me."
"Shut up, I'm going to sleep."
"Yeah! Go to sleep!"

With the addition of Zhou Hua's car, the three cars now had very comfortable seating. After seeing off this group of people, the Zhou family, which had been bustling for a few days, finally became quiet.
Zhou Yizhou and Liu Xuewen went to find the construction team, and Zhou Zuoping wrote the school construction plan by hand.
Zhou wanted to call Uncle Xiao to take the job. The aluminum alloy doors and windows of the shopping mall building could be measured and customized. There were too many people on the wedding day and she was tired.
Xiao Mingxian immediately brought his apprentices here. The machinery factory was the first unit to go bankrupt in the county. His other two apprentices had nowhere to go, so they came to his shop to find a job.
Now, ten years have passed, and his aluminum alloy store has expanded three times. His three apprentices have each become masters and have two apprentices each.
He also advised his apprentices to work on their own, but all three refused, saying that the lack of customers was a big problem and that it would be better for them to stay in their master's old store, where they could have a stable income. Indeed, they received a basic salary during the off-season and commissions based on the pieces they earned during the peak season.
With Zhou Xiang's help, his cooperation with the county real estate company has never been interrupted. Therefore, he does not have many off-seasons, occasionally during the Chinese New Year. However, he still gives bonuses to his apprentices during the Chinese New Year. It can be said that after the business officially took off, the apprentices have never received a basic salary.
Ling Ran took him to measure all the doors and windows of the shopping mall. The first floor door was made into two adjacent six-panel four-opening glass doors, and then rolling shutters were added outside these two doors and all the windows.
All windows above the second floor are equipped with anti-theft nets, and every room on the eighth floor will have floor-to-ceiling windows.
Then there is the glass for the skylight, which requires bulletproof glass.
Adding them together, the area of doors and windows was larger than that of a residential building he had taken over from a real estate company. However, he had seen with his own eyes how badly Zhou wanted to make money, so these expenses were just a drop in the bucket.
"Okay! I'll get it done as soon as possible within a month and install it."
"Yes! After the roof is completed here, I will call you again and ask you to remeasure the exact dimensions of the eighth floor."
"OK."
The next day was the day Ling Ran returned home. Mother Zhou prepared a lot of gifts and filled the trunk of the car.
The lid couldn't be closed, and Zhou's mother was still asking everyone to move things. Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Ling Ran, your mother-in-law is eager to take everything back with you."
"This means our mother is satisfied with me."
"Yo! I'm getting on your high horse, and if you don't stop, the back seat will be full."
Ling Ran actually saw his mother-in-law open the back door and ask Brother Xu to put the things in the back seat.
"Mom, mom, don't put the car in the back seat anymore. That's enough. That's enough."
"How can this be enough? Oh! The trunk of this car is so small. It will be full if you can't fit a few things in it. Don't worry about it. Let's fill up the back seat first."
