Zhou Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief after putting the little one down on the bed. It was so tiring to hold the limp baby in his arms!

While Aunt Wang was changing her quilt, Zhou wanted to ask his mother if his second sister still wanted to drink fruit tea.

"Hey, I didn't dare to stop her from taking it. Look, after only ten days, she has recovered quite well."

Zhou Xiang nodded, "Okay! Give it to her during the breastfeeding period. We must raise these two well."

Zhou's mother understood what her little girl meant. She couldn't let her daughter become alienated from her family after suffering so much.

Zhou Xiang had seen enough of the baby and was about to go downstairs. When Zhou Xiang was no longer in the room, the baby immediately started crying.

Mother Zhou quickly pulled her daughter back and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Let me put my things there!"

"Oh my god, you're waiting here for two people who are asleep. Weren't you the one who woke them up?"

Zhou thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go wash my hands, right?"

"Hurry up."

When Zhou Xiang came back, shaking his hands, the screaming in the room stopped.

Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "I'll accompany my second sister. You two can go outside and have a rest."

The two elderly people, Aunt Wang and Mother Zhou, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the hot room.

Zhou Xiang sat on the edge of the bed, teasing Jianjian with her fingers. When she saw his mouth find her hand, she sucked his fingers.

I took the opportunity to give a little bit of well water. Since well water can replenish mental strength and repair the eldest brother's brain, it will be useful for the two babies too, right?

She didn't dare to feed too much, so after a few drops, she took her finger away. Zhou Yu even said to her, "It's a good thing you washed your hands just now."

Zhou wanted to stuff the baby, whose mouth was still searching everywhere, into her arms, "Hurry up and feed them. Tell them to sleep after feeding. You're still trapping me!"

Zhou Yu lowered his head to feed the baby, and Zhou Xiang fed another baby a few drops of well water.

After her second sister finished feeding one child, she brought him over and burped him. Zhou Yu fed the other one and smiled at her sister, "You know this too?"

"Nonsense, what's not in the book? You're the only ones who don't like reading."

"So, I'll let you teach these two from now on."

"I won't accept that, and please don't keep saying it, or the children will think you don't love them! If I have time, I'll teach them a little. If I don't have time, don't blame me."

"Okay!" Zhou Yu nodded. Just having his sister's words was enough.

Put one down, pat the other, and then lay the two side by side, "It's time to go to bed, be good and obedient."

The two babies smiled and slowly closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Zhou Yu lowered his voice and said, "Look, how much do they listen to you? We've been exhausted these past few days. Eating, sleeping, and washing are like going to war. The two of them are howling together."

"Don't expect that. I don't have time. I'm going out to buy some renovation stuff in a few days. Oh, and I want to buy a water heater. Do you want one?"

"No, I'm going to go back and take a shower."

"That makes sense. Since they're asleep, I'll go check on the construction site."

"Yeah! I heard it's going to be closed in two days. Are we going to have a party?"

"I'm not planning on doing anything, just spreading some candy. I'm definitely going to have a big celebration on the housewarming day."

"That's fine! We don't have time. Dad can't handle it all by himself."

Zhou thought of the construction site, and Ma Gua came over immediately, "The formwork is already set up. Can we seal the roof tomorrow?"

"Okay, I won't host a party. I'll put some coins in the candy and give your workers an extra day's pay."

Ma Gua nodded. The Zhou family has been busy lately and is too busy to handle the matter. If they don't hold a beam-raising banquet, then, "Are you planning a grand housewarming banquet?"

"Yeah! By the way, are there any pebbles like that in the river in your village?"

"Yes, the riverbed is full of it."

"You can ask the villagers to fish it out and bring it to me. I'll charge you one cent per pound."

Ma Gua disagreed, "You really have too much money. I'll ask my children and wives to get it for you. What are you going to do with it?"

"I pave the yard with cement slurry."

"Okay! I'll have someone bring it over. It'll take quite a bit for such a big yard!"

"Don't pave it all, just the walking surface. We also need to plant trees and vegetables!"

"Speaking of trees, your old peach tree is still alive! We ate all the peaches it produced, and they were delicious."

"Yeah! I asked someone to get it. Don't move the tree. Just leave it there."

"good!"

"After the roof is completed, you need to quickly build the walls of each room. Smooth the walls and ceilings of the first and second floors, apply putty, and paint. These are all small jobs, so you need to hurry up.

Also, keep an eye out for some skilled hands. I'll go out and buy tiles and ask them to learn how to lay them."

"Great, great!" Ma Gua was ecstatic. There was a new technology.

"Where's the guy who made the wooden doors? Tell him to come quickly and take over the job. Bring more people with you. Look at how many doors I have to make."

"Yeah! Let's ask him to come tomorrow."

"When building the courtyard wall, ask Guan Bo for the iron arrowheads before building. Zhu Hang has the schematic diagram."

"good!"

"Everything in the yard will be done after the house is renovated, so the pebbles are brought in slowly, there's no rush."

Ma Gua nodded.

Zhou Xiang wanted to leave the construction site and go find Guan Bo. When he passed by the sugar, tobacco and alcohol store, he saw the hustle and bustle by the gable and smiled.

Uncle Fat is here, so go and take a look yourself!

In the pavilion, Guan Bo and his wife, along with Guan Zanfu, were busy.

"Boss, give me a bowl of cold noodles."

Guan Bo didn't even raise his head. "Okay, wait."

Zhou Xiang chuckled. A fat uncle like this was much better than staring at the stove and sighing all day. Although he was reluctant to give up the family business, one still had to have a goal to strive for.

Guan Bo raised his head and saw that it was Zhou Xiang. He knew that she didn't really want to eat cold noodles.

“Think about it, are you looking for me?”

Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "Just ask Uncle Guan Tao to take over the job. Tell him to come tomorrow."

"Okay, Afu has to go back to get the cold noodles at noon. Tell him to go and tell him. He should be here this afternoon."

"That's fine. I have nothing to do this afternoon. I'll come here and eat some cold noodles while I wait for him."

"Okay, tell him to meet you here at the stall."

Seeing that he had finished his work, he called him aside and asked, "How did you occupy this piece of land?"

"I rent it for five dollars a year."

Zhou Xiangxiang asked him to buy it. If his family's business was doing well, there would definitely be people who would be jealous of this place. However, he thought that his family couldn't come up with the money, and besides, no one among them worked in the supply and marketing cooperative.

He didn't say anything more, just saying that when iron arrowheads were needed, Zhu Hang would call a cart to pull them.

When they returned to the new building, the babies were still sleeping, so Zhou Xiang took his mother to the room on the second floor.

"Mom, what do you think of Aunt Guan's cold noodle business and that piece of land?"

"What do you think? I guess if business keeps going this good, we'll be driven out."

Zhou Xiang gave his mother a thumbs up and said, "Mom, you're really great now! You have vision and brains. In that case, you should buy that piece of land!"

Mother Zhou tapped her forehead and said, "You're trying to trick me again, aren't you?"
