On the first floor, Xu Tong and his wife were already busy in the kitchen. Zhou Xiang placed the flour he had taken out of the space on the stove. "Mix the dough, make dumplings, fry dough sticks, cook millet porridge, boil salted eggs, and add some homemade pickled beans. Put the beans in small dishes for one person."

With a direction in mind, the couple got to work efficiently.

On the third floor, the old leader, who had a dreamless night, stood on the floor-to-ceiling balcony, gazing at the rising sun over the low hills to the east. His nostrils were filled with the fragrance of green grass. He took a few deep breaths, his lungs immediately filled with moist air, and then exhaled forcefully.

"Xiao Tang! This place is great. Such beautiful scenery can be found in the countryside. Zhou Xiang has a keen eye!"

"Yes, yes!" Tang Ganwen nodded in agreement. Zhou Xiang had a sharp and ruthless vision. She only spent 40 million to buy these hundreds of square kilometers for 50 years. Is there anyone more capable than her?

"Let's go downstairs." The old leader took the lead and walked out of the room. He was anxious to go for a walk.

In the restaurant, everyone from Building No. 4 had already been waiting there. With such a Buddha at home, no one dared to be too lazy.

The simple breakfast looked very appetizing. The old leader picked up a small fried dough stick with chopsticks and said, "Everyone, please don't be polite! This simple breakfast makes my mouth water."

His approachable and greedy appearance made everyone relax their tense nerves and start attacking the breakfast on the table.

After breakfast, when Captain Ling Ran and Lu Jing and Lu Ying accompanied the old leader and Mr. Xiao out for a walk, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out to purchase materials according to the menu listed by Zhou Xiang.

Once the materials are gathered, they will naturally be processed and prepared immediately.

In between serving dishes, Zhou Xiang would look outside the door. The weather was so hot, shouldn’t he come back earlier?

When she looked out the door again and saw the group of people returning, Zhou Xiang stumbled and almost tripped over her own foot, which she had forgotten to lift. What did she see? Before she could send away one giant Buddha, another one appeared?

Old Man Hong arrived before he could even speak, "Hahaha, Zhou Xiang, are you scared?"

Zhou Xiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed awkwardly, "Since you know I'm timid, don't be so scary!"

"Haha, I'm here to arrest someone. Don't worry! I'll leave tomorrow." As soon as Mr. Hong stepped into the villa, he looked around.

Shouldn't you return immediately after catching him? And you're leaving tomorrow? Do you think I believe you? Zhou Xiang had a lot of complaints in his heart, but he could only complain secretly.

Mr. Hong had attended his daughter's wedding before, so Zhou's father naturally recognized him and stepped forward enthusiastically to shake hands and welcome the distinguished guest on behalf of the whole family.

Zhou Xiang covered his forehead and went into the kitchen to ask Xu Tong and his wife to continue cooking and use the ingredients for dinner first, and then go out to buy some in the afternoon.

After arranging lunch, Zhou Xiang hurried upstairs to prepare bedding and toiletries, and took Lu Ying to Building 2. It was better to arrange for the big guys to leave! Didn’t you see that Mr. Hong was followed by a few more stern-looking bodyguards?

Seeing his wife busying around, Ling Ran felt really distressed, but he couldn't leave at this time. He whispered a few words in his mother's ear. Dong Yunrong nodded and pulled her mother-in-law to chase her daughter-in-law.

The extra villas were originally built to accommodate the family when there were too many people to live there, so they are all equipped with basic appliances and daily necessities.

The four of them quickly cleaned up and made all the beds in the bedrooms. Only then did Zhou Xiang breathe a sigh of relief.

Back at Building No. 4, Mr. Hong, who had already eaten and drunk his fill, apologized to Zhou Xiang, "We are the ones who have caused you trouble."

"No, no," Zhou Xiang quickly stated. She was worried that the whereabouts of the two big guys would be exposed and unsafe, but she really didn't refuse them from coming to visit. With the status of these two big guys, no one could invite them.

"It's our honor to have you here. Our whole family welcomes you. We have a separate, unused villa to the south. You and Mr. He should go there and rest first. We can go sightseeing in the evening when the temperature drops."

"Okay, I'm feeling sleepy! Let's go take a rest first." Old Hong pulled Old He, who was reluctant to move, and said, "Let's go! Let's take a nap."

Mr. He was not yet willing to change his seat, so Professor Chu led the way and said, "The view from the front is better."

Upon hearing this, Mr. He was moved. He gestured to Tang Ganwen to go to the third floor to pack his personal belongings, and then followed him to Building No. 2.

The bodyguards followed closely. Ling Ran called up Lu Jing, who had eaten her fill, smiled apologetically to his wife, and said hurriedly, "You and our mom should have dinner! Lu Ying should also go over to work after dinner." Then he hurriedly chased after him.

As soon as Zhou Xiang sat down at the cleaned table, Old Man Xiao apologized to her, "Blame me, it's all my fault."

"That's not the case," Zhou Xiang waved his hand. "Don't overthink it. Mr. He thinks there's always a way. This isn't the first time Tang Ganwen has sneaked out with him."

Mr. Xiao was surprised, "You mean they have been here many times."

"Not many. This is the third time. The second time was on my wedding day."

Tang Ganwen packed a small luggage bag and came down. Hearing Zhou Xiang's words, he chuckled, "It's because strange things always happen here, which aroused Mr. He's curiosity."

"Is it my fault?" Zhou Xiang glared at him.

"It's my fault, it's my fault," Tang Ganwen said, running out of the south gate with his luggage bag in his arms. "Take your time eating."

Not long after Lu Ying went to Building No. 2, Ling Ran came back and said that he was going out to prepare ingredients and kitchen utensils, and the two bosses could just cook over there.

Hearing Ling Ran's words, Zhou Xiang felt his hair stand on end. "Who arranged this?"

"It's Mr. He, what's wrong?" Ling Ran didn't understand why his wife changed her expression. Wouldn't it be more comfortable at home if the bosses ate separately?

"It's okay, everything is ready." It was time to light a fire and cook. Zhou thought that no matter how he looked at the two bosses, it didn't look like they were going to leave tomorrow.

Sure enough, in the next two days, except for Lu Jing and Lu Ying coming back to eat after their shift, Ling Ran did not come back to rest.

There were two inconspicuous minibuses on the cement ground below the asphalt road.

Facing the third brother's sneaky prying, Zhou Xiang patted him on the head and said, "Just do what you need to do. Curiosity kills the cat. I can't wait for them to leave."

Xiao Chunmei pulled her husband up and said, "Ling Ran doesn't have time to take care of the outer garden. You should go and take care of it."

Didn't you see the dark circles under your sister's eyes? Why are you asking around?

The next afternoon, Ling Ran finally found time to return to Building No. 4. As soon as he got back, he pulled his wife aside and said, "Wife, bring out a few bottles of essence-nourishing liquid, as well as some dried fruits and fish. These ancestors will be gone tomorrow."

"How many?" Zhou didn't want to know who else was coming. He would be grateful if he could send them away.

"Three."

That night, Ling Ran still didn't come back, and even Lu Jing and Lu Ying didn't change shifts. The two sisters were on duty together in Building No. 2.

Daybreak arrived as Zhou was tossing and turning. When he was about to arrange breakfast on the first floor, Old Man Xiao came downstairs with Xiao Guo and Xiao Ding. "I'm going with them today."

"Are you in such a hurry?" Zhou Xiang was surprised. "Aren't you going to wait for Qiangqiang and Xiaoxiao?"

This summer, Luo Shaoqiang and Xiao Xiaoxiao took their daughter to visit friends abroad.

"They've returned to the capital and are waiting for me at home!"

Since that was the case, Zhou Xiang didn't want to keep the guest any longer. He prepared some dried fruits and fish for Old Man Xiao and said, "Come and play next time. I didn't spend enough time with you this time."
