Li Li, who came and went in a hurry, had stunned the three elderly ladies, Dong Yunrong, Aunt Wang, and Zhou's mother. How could she leave with such a red face? Is it really necessary for a woman to look at another woman and feed a child?

Zuo Heng, who had only chatted with Zhou's father for a few words, was pulled away by his lover and could only say goodbye to Zhou's father in a hurry.

Zhou Xiang couldn't hold it in any longer, so he handed Tongtong in his arms to his mother and went to the bathroom to laugh out loud. The three grandmothers had no idea what Zhou Xiang was doing, but it was definitely related to Li Li just now.

Ling Ran glanced at his wife's back and said, "Okay, stop laughing. What's so funny that can make you laugh like this?"

Zhou Xiang just waved her hand and continued to smile, not sharing her joy. This kind of private talk between women is not suitable to be told to men.

Rubbing his stomach, Zhou Xiang complained, "Oh! I laughed so hard that my stomach hurts. Next time, I absolutely cannot talk about private matters with Li Li. It's unbearable."

Dong Yunrong urged, "Think about it, we should go to my aunt's house."

"Okay, I'll change my clothes right away."

When they arrived at the county town, they naturally split into two groups.

The younger sister came with her son and daughter-in-law, and also carried some things, saying they were New Year gifts. Dong Yunyue smiled so much that her teeth were not visible. "Okay, okay, come in and sit down. Lixia, make a pot of tea."

"Okay!" A crisp voice came from the west room.

Zhou Xiang was curious, "You didn't go back home?"

"Just got back."

"So soon?"

"They like to go to the village early and come back early, so they leave early in the morning."

"oh."

It was cold, and the main room was too cold to sit, so my aunt brought me into the east room and said, "Your heater is better!"

Dong Yunrong couldn't bear to say anything unless she retorted to her elder sister. "Can you bear to burn coal? Installing a boiler requires building a separate house. Can you bear that?"

"I can't bear to leave! Don't tease me. Your house isn't as warm as the building. I think it's because the building is well sealed. When the doors and windows are closed, there's not a single gap. This tile house has wooden windows and doors, so it's drafty everywhere."

"Aunt, the building you envy should be ready soon. As for boiler heating, it won't be necessary."

"Are you talking about the county's plan to demolish the houses and build a new city?"

"Yes, it should start after the New Year."

Jia Lixia quickly made tea and went into the east room. Zhou Xiang took a look at her. She had a festive smile on her oval face and a long ponytail tied casually. She was a very kind and gentle person. His aunt had good taste.

The bride’s makeup that day was so bright that I couldn’t see her true face at all, and of course I didn’t feel anything.

At this moment, Jia Lixia heard this and her smile became even wider. "It's better to demolish it. I heard there's a one-to-one replacement fee, and the yard also counts as area."

My aunt, however, was unconvinced. "This is a public housing project. The four-story building next to it was only built a few years ago. How could they bear to tear it down?"

Zhou Xiang nodded, "As long as the county is determined, it will definitely be demolished. The unit will ask you to use the money to buy the yard you live in."

"So, from now on, this is your house, right?"

"Yes."

Dong Yunyue breathed a sigh of relief. If it could really be privately owned, it would be worth spending some money. "Speaking of this, think about the building your family built. Will it belong to you?"

"Of course, the old house and yard, as well as the land later on, were all bought by me in advance."

"Well, can we buy it in advance?"

"That's impossible. The company is more informed than the private sector. If there's a demolition and reconstruction plan, the company will unify the prices. Besides, buying it now is much more expensive than it was when I bought it."

The aunt was a little disappointed. "Then wait! Are you really here to give New Year's gifts today? If so, Ling Ran can come alone. Why would you, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, come together?"

"Aunt is really smart," Zhou Xiang praised, "I want to talk to Tang Xiaolian, but I don't want the Tang family to know that it was me, so..."

Dong Yunyue was so happy after hearing Zhou Xiang's flattery that she almost lost her mind. "Don't worry, I'll call the person down for you right away. Just wait."

Zhou Xiang and the others who were sitting in the room heard Dong Yunyue's loud voice coming from outside, "Xiao Lian, come down quickly and help me."

Another loud female voice replied, "Why? I still have work to do at home!"

"I have too much work to do. I'll give you five dollars. How about that?"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Aunt, this method is good. No matter how long we talk, the Tang family won't rush us, and Tang Xiaolian won't be anxious either."

Dong Yunrong was dissatisfied. "What a big loophole! She's usually very stingy, so why is she suddenly willing to give money?"

"There are already many loopholes. We came to my aunt's house, so someone must have seen us."

"Alright! I'm not afraid of that Jin Guizhi. If she dares to go to the market town, I'll beat her until she cries for her parents."

Dong Yunyue returned to the east room with a smile, "I'll be down soon."

"Thank you, Auntie."

"You are welcome."

When Tang Xiaolian heard that she was going to the Lu family to help, she was very excited. The Lu family was related to Zhou Xiang!

She ran down quickly and shouted as soon as she entered the courtyard: "Auntie Dong."

"Hey! In the east room! Come in!"

Jia Lixia was very discerning and came out of the east room and called Tang Xiaolian in.

Tang Xiaolian's face was filled with surprise when she saw Zhou Xiang. "Zhou Xiang, you're here?"

Zhou Xiang waved to her, "Come and sit down, I have something to talk to you about."

Tang Xiaolian obediently sat down on the stool next to Zhou Xiang, "What's the matter?"

Zhou wanted to see his aunt, but she immediately stood up and called her daughter-in-law away, "Lixia, let's go out and give them the room to talk."

"good."

The door was also closed considerately by my aunt.
