"Hurry up and find another yard nearby and buy it! It doesn't matter if it's a little further away, just buy two pedal tricycles and use them to pull back and forth! They can also be used for buying groceries."

"well."

Zhong Xiong nodded, then nudged Wu Haotian, "Don't you have something to say? Why are you silent?"

"I'll talk about my business later. You guys hurry back and do the shopping or find a house."

"good."

After Zhong Xiong and Ma Zhao left, Wu Haotian spoke, "In the provincial capital, on Nanhuan Road, we bought two courtyards for 3,000 yuan. In the city, we bought three courtyards near Zihu Lake for 2,500 yuan. They're both about the same size as the one at the Water Conservancy Bureau."

"You have to have confidence in yourself. You don't need to report these to me in the future. Just record them in the account. If I have time, I can check the account book. At this time, people don't have much awareness of buying houses. They are all waiting for the government to allocate houses. Therefore, you won't lose money at any price."

Wu Haotian nodded, "Yes! Okay! Then I'll leave."

Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Wu Haotian got up and left. Since she was relieved, she should be bolder.

Passing by the front yard, I saw the boy playing skateboard again, teaching Zhou Niao skateboarding skills.

Wu Haotian shamelessly followed suit, "I also want to try the technique you mentioned."

Ling Ran gave him his skateboard and said, "Try it!"

Wu Haotian practiced twice according to his instructions, and it was indeed much smoother.

"you're good!"

Ling Ran raised his chin proudly, "Of course."

Wu Haotian played for a few rounds and then left.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and Ling Ran called Zhou Niao home, "Brother, stop playing, it's too hot."

"Okay! Go home."

Ling Ran had lunch at Zhou's house again. When the sun was not so hot, he said he wanted to visit the building.

As a result, everyone in the Zhou family went together, except Zhou Yu who worked the day shift, because they were surprised every time they watched it.

The paint smell was still strong, every window was open, and the first floor door was also open.

As soon as he saw the living room on the first floor, Ling Ran felt like he had returned to the afterlife. The half-spiral staircase against the wall elevated the style of the entire building.

It looks like a modern kitchen and bathroom, and when you see it, you'll want to beat the wood-burning stove at home.

There is an aisle in the middle of the second floor, with three bedrooms on each side, all with doors that slide inwards on the left.

Pull open the light-colored curtains on the north wall of the bedroom. Behind the curtains is a 1.5-meter-high wall with wooden-framed glass extending to the ceiling. The door on the right is also made of glass of the same height.

There is a large rectangular balcony outside the door, a 1.2-meter-high hollow brick balcony with a black anti-theft railing all the way to the top.

The bright living room on the third floor is similar to the first floor, and the north wall of the large bedroom is the same as the second floor, with a semi-circular balcony. The most attractive part is the cloakroom and bathroom.

The floor was covered with a hand-woven cloth carpet, needless to say, it was made by the little girl.

On the roof, a hollow wall surrounded a semi-gazebo with black iron poles. Under the pavilion was a row of swing chairs. On the south side, near the low wall, was a row of clothes drying poles, about two meters high. Hmm!

Zhou Xiang turned around and looked at Zhu Hang. "Future brother-in-law, this design is good. Although it borrowed from my pavilion, it has your own ideas in it. It's quite good. It's nice to come here to drink and cool off in the summer."

Zhu Hang was very happy after receiving the affirmation. This rooftop was shown to everyone for the first time, and his beloved was the first to see it.

Ling Ran rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Thank you for your hard work. These designs are very beautiful and novel."

Zhou wanted to slap his claws away. Even though he had grown a lot, he could still easily touch the top of his head. He only grew a dozen centimeters taller by drinking fruit and milk every day.

This guy has grown a lot taller this year, now he is about 1.8 meters tall. It's really frustrating to compare yourself to him.

After the visit, Ling Ran returned to his home, but he had not yet prepared a gift for the little girl.

The next day, Zhou Xiang received a gift that was said to be handmade by someone, a bullet shell tank. Zhou Xiang wanted to roll his eyes. Did he look like someone who liked this kind of toys and ornaments?

Looking at his envious elder brother next to him, Zhou Xiang was about to hand over the toy in his hand.

Ling Ran held up the small bag in his hand, which was jingling with sounds. "There are still a lot of bullet shells here. I made them with my brother. This is for you. You must, must keep it well."

Zhou Niao nodded when he heard that. "Okay, you teach me, and we can learn together. I like tanks, too."

"good!"

Zhou Xiang took advantage of the two of them working and flipped his hand to put it into the space. Is this considered to be put away? When he remembered to ask, he could find it himself. It would be a good decoration for the bookshelf in the space.

In one day, the two of them really glued together a tank. Zhou Niao was very satisfied because it was something he made with his own hands.

On the 29th, after Teacher Sun finished this class, Zhou Xiang gave him a holiday again. His elder brother should play when it was time to play.

On the 30th, Zhou Hua and Zuo Heng returned from summer vacation. Seeing Ling Ran, they were so angry that they punched him. "How could you disappear for a year without saying a word?"

Ling Ran let the two of them vent their anger before explaining the reason.

Big Yellow and Little Yellow pounced on Ling Ran. Ling Ran interacted with the two dogs excitedly. These dogs had not forgotten him yet.

Then Zuo Heng and Zhou Hua dragged him to the front yard to play skateboarding, and Zhou Niao naturally followed.

The front yard has become a skatepark, and many kids from town come to watch.

Qiangqiang is the happiest one because he is good friends with Zhou Niao, who sometimes gives him the skateboard to play with.

Who knew that Xie Zhuang and Li Li would show up again? "We have no homework this summer, so we have to have fun!"

Ling Ran gave him the skateboard to play with, and then naturally went back to Zhou's house to accompany the little girl.

I don't have much time, so I can't waste it on these unimportant people.

Li Li naturally circled around the left horizontal line.

Dong Yunrong complained to her husband, "This son has been wasted. He's not home all day. Since he came back, he's only had two meals at home."

"Isn't it good to save food for you?"

"Go away, you're pissing me off!"

"Well, don't blame him. The child has grown up. Not only has he left home, but his heart has also flown away. Let's just live in our own world first. We can only look forward to our grandchildren in a few years. Son, you can't count on him anymore."

"Humph! The girl is only eleven years old. How many years? Almost ten years."

"Let's just spend a few more years as the two of us."

Dong Yunrong gave him a glare, "You're so unruly."

Zhu Hang hopes that the days will pass faster and faster every day.

Ling Ran hopes that time will go slower and slower every day.

However, the sun still moves according to its own schedule.

On July 22, it was time for Ling Ran to return to the team. Zhou Hua, Zuo Heng, Zhou Niao and even Zhou Xiang all sent him to the provincial road to catch a bus.

Ling Quan and Dong Yunrong had been waiting by the roadside for a long time. Dong Yunrong was already in tears. Zhou Xiang stood beside her and accompanied her silently.

It is the saddest thing to see someone off, especially when the person traveling is her son.

The bus arrived, and Ling Ran got on without looking back. He was afraid that he would not be able to help but hug the little girl, and he was even more afraid of seeing his mother's tears.
