Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, starting with Zhou Niao, everyone from the oldest to the youngest lined up to wish Zhou's father and mother a happy new year.

Zhou's father and mother sat side by side.

Zhou Niao bowed formally and said, "Happy New Year, Mom and Dad!"

"Great, great! I wish Niao Niao's painting skills will reach new heights in the new year."

Zhou's mother gave him a red envelope.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Zhou Niao took it and stood aside.

Zhu Hang and his wife bowed and said, "Happy New Year to Mom and Dad! Good health!"

"Good! I wish you peace and happiness too!"

Zhu Hang took the two red envelopes and stood next to his elder brother.

Zhou Hua and Zuo Heng said together, "I wish my father (uncle) and mother (aunt) all the best in the new year!"

"Good! I wish you progress in your studies!"

The two of them took the red envelopes and stood next to the second sister.

Zhou Xiang led the four children to bow together, "I wish my parents always smile!"

The four of them barked together.

Zhou's mother smiled brightly, "Okay, wait, I'll give you everything."

Zhou Xiang received his red envelope. Big Yellow, Little Yellow and Chubby Ball bit the red envelope with their mouths and then gave them to Zhou Xiang.

Zhou Xiang took all the red envelopes and said, "Okay! I'll use them to buy you some meat!"

The four of them raised their heads and barked softly.

"Okay, hurry up and cook the dumplings. Someone will come to pay New Year's greetings soon."

The first one to arrive was still Ling Ran. He sat for a while and then left. "I'm going home to help. I won't be going to the county town this year."

Zhou Xiang nodded, "Then tomorrow, let's go to your house and have some fun!"

"good!"

The second group to come was Zhong Xiong and his friends. They paid New Year's greetings to Zhou's father and mother, received red envelopes, and went to the kitchen to cook dumplings.

Zhou wanted them to cook all the dumplings, and Xiao Xiezhuang would come over.

Zhong Xiong looked at the two covered dumplings and asked, "Is that enough?"

"Boil some glutinous rice noodles and make fried dumplings."

"Okay, I can do this. I'll do it."

Who knew that there were so many children coming to Xiaoxiezhuang this time? Zhong Xiong boiled bowl after bowl of noodles. It was not until the sixth bowl that it was his turn to eat fried dumplings.

After the children from Xiaoxiezhuang left, many people came. They were all people who had not been around before and were just acquaintances in the town.

Seeing that the Zhou family has risen and has dealt with Old Yue, they all came to build relationships with them.

At noon, Zhou wanted to ask Wu Haotian and the others to stay for lunch. They didn't refuse. They had been busy all morning, so they just stayed for a meal!

Zhou's father still lamented that the house was too small.

"So, Dad, how much land did you buy?"

"South of the grove behind your house, north of the toilet behind our house, and west of your pavilion, ten meters away, next to the water pump."

"So this little wood behind my house is also ours?"

"Yeah! The grove is only 12 meters wide, and including the ditch it's only 17 meters."

"Please buy the back of your house 3 meters in front of Feng's house! Leave 3 meters of space for his family."

"It's about 40 meters from the back to the Feng family's door. Do you want it all? Including the toilet?"

Zhou Xiang nodded. "The toilet is behind our house, and I've always been unhappy about it. It just so happens that we're buying the land this time, so I'll ask my cousin to find another place to build a big toilet. Let's buy 40 meters behind the north room!"

Father Zhou's lips trembled a little. "In this case, the north-south distance is more than 70 meters, and the east-west distance is 30 meters."

"Yeah! Aren't you planning to retire here? Just build it bigger!"

Zhou's father and mother nodded. "Yes, let's live here in our old age. Okay, build it! You have the final say."

"After the fifteenth, go find your cousin and ask him to build a toilet quickly. We'll start construction after the first month of the lunar year."

Father Zhou's hands were shaking with excitement, "Okay!"

Zhou Xiang pulled his father's arm and said, "Dad, don't get excited. You need to learn to stay calm!"

"I, I just feel so happy that I will have my own new house."

"You can't do this. You could easily have a stroke. Come, take a deep breath as I tell you."

Following his daughter's words, Father Zhou took a few deep breaths before calming down.

"Dad, let's not talk about it today. In the next two days, you are not allowed to drink alcohol. Drinking dilates blood vessels. You are not in the right mood to drink."

"Ah? No more drinks?"

"Well! Do you still want to live in a new building in good health?"

Father Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, I won't drink it. I'll drink tea."

At noon, Zhou's father drank the fruit tea made by his little daughter, saying that the dried fruit and tea leaves tasted pretty good.

In this life, his father has been trying hard to change, and Zhou Xiang also hopes that he will be healthy, so he mixed some dried fruits into the drink and asked him to drink it with his mother.

Seeing that Uncle Zhou had stopped drinking, Zhong Xiong started to stir up trouble. Zhou Xiang glared at him and said, "Stop it, my dad is not suitable to drink today."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After dinner, Zhou wanted to ask his father to have a rest for a while. He said he was exhausted from getting up too early every day.

Then he called his brother-in-law and Wu Haotian to the kitchen and said, "I plan to build a building after the first month of the lunar year. If you are free, come and help us. Also, please leave a few rooms for us to stay in."

Zhong Xiong imitated the wolf's howl, "Are you really going to build it?"

Zhou Xiang nodded.

Ma Zhao said calmly, "It should have been built a long time ago. It's too crowded for us to play here."

"Yes, in order to allow you to come visit more often, I decided to build a new house. Especially since you all have families with you, it will be too crowded to come to my house."

Chen Ou nodded with a smile, "Yeah! That's right."

"Congratulations."

"Thanks!"

Zhong Xiong and his companions were dumbfounded, watching the two people playing dumb.

Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Congratulations to you all, this is your second nephew."

Wu Haotian muffled Zhong Xiong's wolf howl, "Be quiet, be quiet. There are two national treasures here. Don't make any noise."
