Guan Tao asked them to leave for a while and started working with two assistants. It was his first combination cabinet, and he was both nervous and excited.

Zhou Xiangcai refused to go in! Not only would it be a waste of time, but if there were any inappropriate places, he would have to use a planer on the spot, which would cause too much dust to fly.

It was not until eleven o'clock that Zhou wanted to ask his second sister to come out to cook, and Aunt Wang followed her out.

"Oh! I hurried home to cook. I'll come back this afternoon and see if it looks good."

Guan Tao and his two companions had lunch at Zhou's house, and then continued working.

The inner room was only installed when I left in the evening. The corner position was a waste of time.

The next day, Aunt Wang came again. Zhou Yu went to set up a stall, and Zhou Xiang opened the wardrobe doors to let the smell out. Although Zhou Xiang asked not to paint, some places still had to be painted with white glue.

Let the smell dissipate for a few days.

Aunt Wang opened and closed the wardrobe, then opened and closed it again. "Good, that's great. I want to play a group."

Guan Tao replied with a smile: "Fight! If you don't fight now, you'll have to wait in line if I get busy later."

Guan Tao was very confident and made a set of carvings for his home use, which could also be used as samples.

"How much is a set?"

"The one with four doors is 80, and the one with six doors is 100."

"So expensive? Usually a large station counter is only thirty. This one looks very simple and has no carvings."

"Auntie, the large cabinet has two doors. This requires on-site measurement and careful calculation. You also need to bring people to install it. Is that too labor-intensive? If you want carvings, add extra money. I'll also cover the painting."

“It’s too expensive.”

Guan Tao stopped talking. Just like Zhou Xiang said, if someone likes something and is willing to pay for it, he will be willing to pay a higher price. But if someone doesn't like something, he won't buy it no matter how cheap it is.

Zhou Yu came back from closing his stall, but brought back a person. Zhou Niao glared at the person as he walked.

"Sister, this guy is following me so relentlessly. I, I don't dare to hit him."

How could the eldest brother, with his childish mentality, dare to fight with an adult? Moreover, he was one of the few people that night.

"Wu Haotian, you know my family hates you, why don't you ask someone else to pass on the message like last time?"

"We're now doing legitimate business, and we're good people who have turned over a new leaf. We won't cause any trouble for you. I just didn't expect to have such a good harvest this time. Your pavilion is amazing. If our barbecue stall was also like this, it would be even more attractive, right?"

"Yeah! You've done this rain or shine, but these three tables cost me over a thousand yuan. Do you have the money to pay me back?"

"Ah? So expensive?"

“If you want good things, you have to spend money.”

"Forget it, I'll talk about it when I have money later. I'm really here to pay back the money I owe. The boss said that being debt-free is a relief, and the money I earn later will give me motivation."

"It looks like business is good!"

"Well, I made over a thousand yuan."

"It's over a thousand, and six of you only need one or two hundred. I think the three of you can take care of one stall. Hurry up and grab a good spot before anyone else imitates you. This business is usually idle for half a year. In winter, it's too cold to go out. Who would go out to eat barbecue?

As for the pavilion, we'll build it next spring and use it as a tourist attraction."

"Yes, it's true. Lately, a lot of people have been hanging around our barbecue stall, trying to stake their claim. We'll wait until next year when we have enough money. If the competition isn't fierce, there's no need to rush into it."

Wu Haotian put down the money and left with the IOU. Li Li and Xie Zhuang sat quietly after seeing Wu Haotian.

Zhou Yu was dissatisfied. "Sister, not only do you give them advice, you also lend them money. Why do you feel like I'm being treated the same as others?"

"Really?" Zhou Xiang said in a cold tone.

"No, I feel like I made a mistake. My sister treats me very well. I'm going to cook for her right now."

The conversation between the two sisters brought Li Li and Xie Zhuang back to their senses.

Li Li spoke quickly, "Zhou Xiang, don't you know who they are? How dare you interact with them?"

"What kind of people? Aren't they all mortals?"

"The Gang of Six! Street thugs."

"Aren't we all human beings?"

"They are unreasonable and love to fight. Everyone is afraid of them."

"Unreasonable? Didn't you see that? Look, you lent me money and paid it back as soon as you had the money? Don't just follow the crowd and don't only look at one side of the story."

Li Li was speechless. That's right! Wu Haotian was very polite to Zhou Xiang, borrowing and repaying money, and there was no cheating.

After Xie Zhuang had asked Li Li all the questions he wanted to ask, he quietly did his homework. After Zhou Xiang finished his lecture, he had already understood it thoroughly. The previous homework was a mess, so he erased it and did it again.

Zuo Heng didn't believe it. He thought something must have happened to cause Zhou Xiang to have contact with that gangster.

Zhou Hua didn't care and said his sister would handle it herself. Wang Hua and Wang Fang were also surprised, but after hearing the conversation between Zhou Xiang and Li Li, they had to believe it.

Seeing that the man was so polite, Zhou Niao felt relieved. His sister was really capable.

After the cabinet was installed, Zhou Xiang settled the bill with Guan Tao, and Guan Tao only charged 200 yuan.

"Master Guan, this lumber is about 200 yuan, right?"

"Yes, I'll just take the money for the materials. I'm planning on shamelessly taking the blueprints and using them."

"Take it! For Fatty Uncle's sake, I'm giving you the blueprints. If you don't want the wages, you're the one who's at a disadvantage!"

"It's not a loss, I learned some skills."

After sending Guan Tao and the other two away, Zhou Xiang cleaned the house and told his eldest brother, "Brother, this shelf is for you. You can put whatever you want in it, toys, books, etc. Wait a few days before putting clothes in the closet to let the smell dissipate."

"Okay, I understand."

At the end of the month, everyone had finished their summer homework, and Zhou wanted to hand Zuo Heng and Zhou Hua over to Xie Zhuang.

"Xie Zhuang, I'll leave my third brother and Zuo Heng to you. Take them out to play. They're not allowed to go to the big river, but they can go swimming in the small river."

Zuo Heng doesn't want to go yet, he just wants to study.

"Go have some fun! You've been studying for a month, relax. If you don't think it's fun, then don't go. Don't become a nerd."

Comrade Billionaire, if you become a nerd, my company's creative plans will be ruined! Go out and have some fun!

Li Li was told by Zhou Xiang not to come anymore. "I have something to do in the county town, so you should study at home recently!"

I can finally relax. I was almost going crazy accompanying them to learn elementary school knowledge every day.

On August 1, Zhou Xiang went to the county No. 1 Middle School alone.

There was no one else in the county's No. 1 Middle School except the teacher on duty and the janitor.

After asking for the address of Zhou Yizhou's acquaintance's home, Zhou Xiang went to the door carrying two cans.

A woman with eyes on top of her head opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

He looked at Zhou Xiang with contempt in his tone.

"Is Teacher Cao Tianning home?"

“No.”

A man's voice came from the room, "Who are you looking for?"

Zhou Xiang looked at the woman with a smile.

The footsteps reached the gate of the courtyard, "Zhou Xiang? You're here? Come in quickly."
