After dinner, the three of them studied together. Zhou Xiang had already asked his third brother to start preparing for the first-year junior high school courses. Although the graduation exam was very important, the big jump between elementary school and junior high school would easily lead to a significant decline in grades.

The sixth grade curriculum was very easy for my third brother.

Learning something difficult would help him review the simple ones, so when Xiao Chunmei didn't ask questions, Zhou wanted to explain the first semester of the first grade to his third brother.

Zhou Hua may have learned things very quickly when his emotions were opened up and his wisdom was stimulated.

Xiao Baitu's admiration for him increased a little bit, because he was indeed smarter than himself and didn't need Zhou Xiang to explain it twice, he got it right the first time.

When I got home from school on Friday evening, Zhou said that Zuo Heng's family would pull the bed over tomorrow and he would come over to visit.

"Okay, come over and get to know the door."

So, Zhou's mother bought some vegetables and came back early the next day.

"Sister, I came to play with you, why don't you come to see me?"

Zuo Zhen entered the yard and saw Zhou Xiang without looking at anything else.

"Zhenzhen, sister has to go to school." Zhou wanted to hold her hand. The little girl's touch would not make her feel disgusted.

"Oh!" Zuo Zhen's tone was a little depressed.

"Does Zhenzhen want to go to school?"

“I want to, but I’m a little scared.”

"Then go again after a while."

"good."

When Zuo Youcheng and Fang Yuehong saw such a large yard, their admiration for her grew deeper and deeper, and they became more determined to work for her together with their son.

"Dad Zuo, Aunt Fang, please come in and sit down." Zhou Xiang said as he tried to help Fang Yuehong.

Zuo Youcheng waved his hand, "No need, she can do it on her own, just practice more."

"Then take your time."

"Okay." Fang Yuehong replied.

Zuo Youcheng went out to help the cart driver move the bed board.

Zuo Heng and Zhou Hua had already started moving the wooden bed, which they were very familiar with.

Of the two wooden beds that used to be in the left side room, one is now in Zhou Hua's current room, and the other is in the master bedroom on the east side.

The bed that Zhou wanted to sleep on was placed in the second bedroom on the east side, and she still slept on it.

After the cart master left, Zhou Xiang played with Zuo Zhen, while Zuo Heng and his third brother took care of the installation.

Zhenzhen found everything strange. Zhou wanted to sympathize with her and didn't bother her asking why. He answered her patiently.

He also called his eldest brother to play cards with him. The two people, who were about the same age in mind, laughed and chatted while playing cards.

Zhou Xiang just hopes that Zhenzhen is just temporary and not like his elder brother.

Zhou Xiang looked at Fang Yuehong next to him and asked, "Aunt Fang, are you used to living there?"

"Good! Very good. It's much better than before in the village. We never imagined we could live like this."

"Let's wait until the old doctor we're familiar with comes back to see your leg."

"Okay, Heng'er told me. I just hope my legs don't hurt on cloudy days. I don't expect anything else."

"Don't be pessimistic, maybe there is a cure!"

"I'm not pessimistic. I can accept any outcome. I'm already very satisfied."

Seeing that she thought so from the bottom of her heart, Zhou Xiang felt relieved. Since she did not blame others, Zuo Heng and Zuo's father had no psychological burden.

fine.

After dinner, Zuo Youcheng offered to help with something. Zhou Xiang understood his idea and asked him to go to the town to find Wu Haotian.

"I've already told him that he'll lead you in your work. If you really can't stay idle, just look for him. My family should be demolishing the house and preparing to build a new building right now, so he should still be there."

"Okay, I'll go find him tomorrow."

"Do you know him?"

"I'll go to your old yard and ask."

"good!"

When they were going back, Zhou wanted Zuo Heng to take the bicycle away. "I'll leave this bicycle over there for you. You can ride it with Aunt Fang."

"Okay, I'll just ride away."

After seeing off the Zuo family, Zhou Xiang saw his mother pacing around the house. "Mom, what are you doing?"

"I forgot something important." Mother Zhou's face was full of regret.

"What's the big deal?"

Mother Zhou whispered in her ear, "I forgot to take out the things on the kang. I wonder if they've dismantled the north room!"

Zhou Xiang went into his room and smuggled out the iron box and photo album, "Hey!"

"You girl, you took it back a long time ago, why didn't you tell me?"

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten it."

"Let's go, and put it in the leg of your bed."

"Take it yourself! I'm going to make the bed. Also, give my eldest brother the mattress and tell him to make it himself."

"I'll put it away later. I'll give it to him and make the bed with him."

On March 1st, the second day of the second lunar month, the Zhou family of the food station started the groundbreaking ceremony for their new house.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, Zhou Quan, wearing a brand new cotton-padded jacket and holding a shovel tied with red silk, dug the first shovel of soil on the east side of the old courtyard that had been razed to the ground.

The simple ceremony was over, but no one dared to take the lead in more and bigger ceremonies!

Zhou Xiang also said that setting off firecrackers would be enough to convey the message.

Ma Gua led dozens of people and began to dig the foundation according to the drawn foundation lines.

Many curious people have gathered in the food station’s family compound. After Zhu Hang’s building, his father-in-law’s family is also going to build a building.

When everyone saw where Ma Gua and the others were working, they couldn't help but talk about it. They were almost at the door of the back row of houses.

How big a building does the Zhou family want to build? Can this land be used arbitrarily?

Feng Hanting was particularly depressed. There was only five meters of open space left in front of his house, and the land south of five meters had been bought by the Zhou family.

What on earth is the Zhou family going to do? When I was drawing the line yesterday, I found Xie Lin, and Xie Lin said that the Zhou family had bought it.

The family compound covers more than ten acres of land, more than 10,000 square meters, and only five families live there. The yard is very large. If the Zhou family is rich and buys the entire family compound, will the four families in the back row have no way to get to the road?

Feng Yun went to the Huang family, but Huang Guozhong ignored him. "The Zhou family wouldn't do such a wicked thing. If you have the ability, why don't you buy the land in front of your house? Then she won't be able to buy it. It's too late for you to say anything now. Don't forget, you haven't bought your house yet!"

"How would I know the Zhou family even bought such a smelly toilet!"

"That's true. Wouldn't he be disgusted if the Zhou family bought a toilet?"

"How about you go and ask?"

"Don't you know how to ask? Those masters are drawing the line right at your door! Go and ask."

So Feng Hanting asked the master who drew the lines, and the master told him that the Zhou family bought the toilet, hired someone to clean it out, and dug a large septic tank.

Feng Hanting knew about the septic tank, and everyone in the entire food station knew about it. It was the sewage pit in the bathroom!

He then asked the master, "Build a house on top of a septic tank?"

The master looked at him and smiled. "No one would build a house on top of a toilet and a septic tank. They left a three-meter gap, which just left room for the septic tank. You can just put some things that can be moved around."

There was only three meters of space left? How much land did the Zhou family buy?
