Zhang Yingshan didn't care about Lao Yang's bitter face. "Go and borrow it quickly. Come back and get the money together before 3 pm. I'll put this money in pledge with Accountant Zhong first."

Father Yang put down the 6,300 yuan and walked out of the Zhou family courtyard dejectedly.

Yang Qiang realized that he had not only lost face by bringing people here, but also had to borrow money. He said hello to his third uncle and left with his people.

Guan Bo said a few words to Zhou Quan and was about to take his people away, but was grabbed by Zhou Xiang, who stuffed 300 yuan into his hand.

"Uncle Fat, even though you think it's indifferent, everyone has worked hard to support my family, so you still need to eat. However, our house is small, and we have guests. You can take all the uncles, aunts, and brothers to a restaurant. Eat and drink as much as you want. If it's not enough, you can owe it to the restaurant and I will make up for it later."

Guan Bo looked at the handful of money in his hand, at least two or three hundred yuan. How could he spend so much?

Zhou Quan held his hand, not letting him refuse. "Order good wine and food. Thank you for your help. This is a thoughtful gesture from our family. Please accept it! We will treat everyone to a good meal."

"Okay, I understand. A lot of courtesy is always welcome. Next time someone is willing to step up, I'll help you entertain them."

After seeing Guan Bo off, Zhou wanted to shout for the door of the kitchen to be opened.

As soon as Zhou Niao walked out of the room, he asked anxiously, "Sister, are you hurt?"

"No, no, don't worry, big brother, I'm fine, Yang Cheng didn't hit me."

Zhang Yingshan's face turned pale when he heard this. "There's even this?" The Yang family was too overbearing. They shouldn't have reduced the two hundred.

"Dad, cousin, Uncle Ling, Manager Zhang, you guys chat, have lunch here and try my cooking. I'll need you in the afternoon!"

Zhang Yingshan nodded, thinking that he would take a look at this small courtyard.

Xie Lin had to stay and accompany his superiors, and Ling Quan had to wait until the matter was settled in the afternoon to prevent his son from complaining about him like last time.

Seeing that Zhou Xiang didn't call him, Zhong Guangyao had no choice but to leave. Everyone in the courtyard pretended not to see him leave.

Zhou Quan took the three of them to visit the yard, and Zhou Xiang took his second sister and eldest brother to cook.

After arranging the work for his second sister and eldest brother, Zhou wanted to ride his bicycle to buy groceries.

I bought salted goose and braised duck, and mixed some braised dishes. It was almost twelve o'clock and there was nothing left in the market.

I could only run to the restaurant and ask, "Master Yu, please share some dishes with me!"

"How is that possible? Don't you see there are five tables of people here?"

"I……."

"Think about it, why are you here?"

Guan Bo saw Zhou Xiang running to the kitchen in a hurry and came over to see what was going on.

"Uncle Fatty, there are really no vegetables to buy on the street, so I came to ask Master Yu to share some spare ribs and vegetables."

"Old Yu, take it from our dishes. If that doesn't work, change to something else. The Zhou family has guests from the county."

"Okay! How much?"

"Thank you! Thank you! I want enough spare ribs for a whole dish, some pork liver and lean pork, and some greens and chili peppers."

Master Yu put all the things she wanted in a bowl and said, "Here! Send the bowl back to me this afternoon."

Zhou Xiang thanked him again, came out with the basin, and clamped it on the back seat of the car.

"Is this okay?" Guan Bo followed out worriedly.

"Sure, I can push it."

Taking advantage of lunch time when there were few people around, Zhou wanted to smuggle out cucumbers and tomatoes.

The flowers of the cucumbers and tomatoes in my yard have just fallen, and only small bumps have grown.

When he got home, he took the basin. Zhou Quan saw it and hurried over to help hold the cart.

“Think about it, where are the dishes coming from?”

"Ask Master Yu to distribute it."

"Would Lao Yu be willing?"

"The fat uncle is helping to speak."

"So how much did he charge you?"

"I confiscated it! I'll give it back to you when you return the basin this afternoon."

Helping to carry it into the pot room, Zhou Quan wanted to cook, but Zhou Xiang disagreed, "Dad, you go and entertain the guests, I'll do it."

Zhou Xiang quickly blanched the ribs, stewed them, and started chopping vegetables.

Zhou Niao helped wash the vegetables, while Zhou Yu watched the fire and cooked rice on the stove.

"Sister, where did the cucumbers and tomatoes come from?" Zhou Niao looked at the cucumber flowers and tomato flowers in the yard. Was her sister performing magic again?

"It's mixed at the restaurant. Wash it quickly and don't talk."

Looking at the second sister who was looking down at the fire, fortunately the second sister was broad-minded and the eldest brother was easy to fool.

Not long after, Zhou's mother came home from get off work and saw that there were guests at home, so she hurried into the kitchen to help.

An hour later, a table full of dishes was brought into the main room, including three braised dishes: braised pork ribs, pork liver with green peppers, shredded pork with wood ear mushrooms, tomato and egg, smashed cucumber, and vegetable and egg soup.

Zhang Yingshan and others were invited into the main hall to sit down, and the driver was also called over.

"Wow! Today's meal is really high standard! Eight dishes and one soup."

Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Please give me some face and come to support our Zhou family. We must do it with high standards."

Only then did Zhou's mother realize what had happened in the morning, and she broke out in a cold sweat. What was her little girl trying to do?

This is not the peaceful era she talked about, a place where relationships and family relationships are important, let alone in this particularly xenophobic town.

He glared at the little girl and told everyone to sit down and eat.

After dinner, Zhang Yingshan and a few others sat in the yard, looking at the neat and beautiful courtyard, and talked about going to the bathroom.

After listening to Zhou Xiang's explanation of the septic tank principle, everyone was a little stunned. It was too simple, just dilution, sedimentation and then filtration.

"Think about it! Can I build a bathroom in my cousin's yard?"

"Of course, three or four square meters is enough. You can find the Ma Gua. The extra space here was built by him."

Xie Ling nodded and decided to go find Ma Gua the next day. It was several days later when he found Ma Gua. He heard that many people had been looking for Ma Gua brothers to work for them and had been waiting in line for several months. However, Ma Gua still saw that he was Zhou Xiang's cousin and put him in line.

Seeing that Zhang Yingshan was always glancing at the peach tree, Zhou Xiang asked his elder brother to pick two peaches, wash them, and cut them into pieces.

Zhang Yingshan took a bite of a peach and narrowed his eyes. "Old Zhou! Your life is so enviable! Just this meal and a few bites of fruit, I can't bear to leave."

"If you can't bear to leave, just stay a few more days."

Zhou Quan grinned from ear to ear when his leader praised him.

"That won't work. The longer I live here, the more reluctant I am to leave."

Ling Quan took a bite of the peach and felt that it was a bit similar to the peach he ate during the Chinese New Year.

This peach tree should come from the same place as the peaches!

Xie Lin ate two pieces in a row, but stopped when he saw that Manager Zhang liked it.

At three o'clock, Yang's father arrived at Zhou's house on time with 2,060 yuan that he had borrowed from various sources.

Zhong Guangyao ran over panting. In fact, he was very reluctant to come, but he couldn't. He was hesitant and arrived late.

Zhang Yingshan was very dissatisfied with Zhong Guangyao's work attitude, but he didn't want to waste time arguing with him.

Zhong Guangyao took the money and looked at Zhou Xiang, and Zhou Xiang also looked at him.

"Take out that certificate!" His tone was quite arrogant.

Haha, Zhou Xiang turned his head.

Zhang Yingshan said, "Xie Lin, you have to do it yourself. You must arrange for someone to hand over his work tomorrow. From now on, accountants are not allowed to touch cash."
