"We'll talk about this later. Don't let your second sister be a hands-off boss. This is her own child."

"Well! She said it, but I didn't answer. We'll see! There's still a long time to go!"

The mother and daughter carried the person to the third floor, where Aunt Wang was already waiting. "Think about it, it will make everyone feel relieved when you come back."

"Well! You can relax for a few days."

Mother Zhou immediately turned to look at her, "Are you still going out?"

"I also need to buy a water heater and a liquefied gas stove! This one is close, so Jiang Province will do."

Zhou's mother sighed. Everything at home and outside depended on her little girl. She also understood why her little girl had to do all these things. In a few years, when she passed the exam and everything was arranged, she would be able to rest assured.

"Alright! I can only guard the rear."

"The rear is the most important!"

Aunt Wang was so envious that she didn't want to speak. The Zhou family was moving towards modernization and technology in everything. When would her family reach that level?

Master Chen and Master Chen were taken out for breakfast by Zhong Xiong and his friends, so breakfast at home was much simpler.

Zhou Xiang ate something casually and went back to the construction site. Ma Gua saw her coming and immediately came forward, "You're here? We don't know where to start with those things!"

"Call someone who's good with their hands, and I'll explain. Ling Ran will teach you about the pipes."

"Okay! I'll go call someone right away."

After a while, ten people who were said to be skillful came. Zhou Xiang first explained the method of laying tiles and cutting methods, and then said: "I have only watched others do it, and you still have to explore the skills. You can tile the storage room first. If it is not done well, pry it off and tile it again.

However, it cannot be wasted. Be careful when prying it and try to reuse it as much as possible.

If it works, then move on to the storage room. Each of the six buildings has a storage room! You have to practice it well before painting the living room and dining room. These two are the face."

Ten people nodded. They only had the principles but no practical experience, so they could only practice slowly. Fortunately, they had the basic method.

After the ten people left, Zhou wanted to ask Master Ma Gua to keep an eye on them and not waste her tiles, which she had brought back from so far away.

Ma Gua nodded, "I understand. I also need to learn these new technologies and follow the supervision."

"They're off practicing. Hurry up and find someone to build me a stove. I also need to try out the fire wall!"

"I've seen it. You have to build four stoves, one in each corner."

Zhou thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. "Okay, let's build four stoves!"

I'll build it first and then replace it with an air conditioner in two years, or a small boiler heater for a northern household. There are no fire walls on the second and third floors, so I'll just have to endure it for now.

My hometown, a city on the Huai River, has never had heating. We only used air conditioning when living conditions were good.

"I also need to find someone to dig a well for me."

"Okay! This can be arranged quickly."

When Ling Ran came, Zhou wanted him to find Master Ma Gua and arrange for someone to learn how to install sewer pipes.

"Okay, go back! It's too sunny."

"Then I'll go back."

When passing through the front yard, he met Yang Juan and her father carrying goods to set up a stall. Zhou thought he saw a stranger. If he dared to jump like that, he must be fearless.

When Yang Juan saw her, she shrank back. Yang's father looked at Zhou Xiang's back and sighed. He didn't expect that in just two years, everything had changed.

"Just work hard and don't cause any more trouble. Maybe in two years, she'll forget who you are. Only by forgetting you can you live a good life."

Yang Juan nodded. She was actually too exhausted to hate anyone. Ever since she became mute and her mother told her that it would be better if she became mute sooner rather than later, she began to reflect on how disgusting her mouth really was.

Maybe, it's really like my mother said, if I had recovered from my muteness earlier, so many things wouldn't have happened, and my aunt and cousins ​​wouldn't hate my family anymore.

Zhou wanted to go back to the new building at the north end. Master Chen and Master Chen were waiting for her. "You're back? We're going back."

"Aren't you going to stay here for two days?"

"No, we'll go back now."

"Okay! I'll go get the money."

Zhou Xiang went up to the second floor and came down with 600 yuan in his hand. "Here is the balance. Have a safe trip."

"Thanks!"

Master Chen took it and handed it to Master Chen to count. After Master Chen finished counting, he put it in his own pocket and said to Zhou Xiang: "Next time you go to Yangcheng, you must come to our Chen Village to see it."

Zhou Xiang nodded, "If there's a chance."

After seeing off Master Chen and Master Chen, Zhou Xiang was pulled aside by her eldest brother. "Sister, my song is out, why haven't I made any money yet? Why doesn't that Hao Heng come to pay me?"

"Don't be afraid, he won't be able to escape, because once he becomes popular, he will want to continue to be popular, and he will come to ask for songs again."

Zhou Niao nodded, "I'm a little anxious, okay! Wait for him to come."

"By the way, you guys are back. Where are Da Huang and the others?"

"Xie Zhuang took me to Xiao Xie Village. His house is big enough for Da Huang and the others to run around freely."

"That's right! Why would Da Huang and the others be willing to go?"

"My brother and I sent it over, and we'll go check it out when we have time."

"Are you guys taking this opportunity to go out and have some fun?"

As he was talking, he saw his third brother coming down the stairs and called him, "Where are you going?"

"Play! What else can you do?"

"Why am I a little jealous? I'm so busy and you're so bored you can only play around."

"Then you can assign me some work?"

"What can you do?"

Zhou Hua thought for a moment and shook his head. "I really don't know what I can do. I don't know anything about building a house."

"How did you do on your graduation exam?"

"Very good, I'm sure I'll get into No. 1 Middle School. I'll definitely participate in next year's competition."

Zhou wanted to know that he usually spent a lot of time on studying, and there were no study conditions here, and it was not his own home, so his third brother could not fit in.

"Or, why don't you go back to live in the county? There are no study facilities here. I'll take Da Huang and the others back with me to keep you company. It's not a good idea to leave them at Xie Zhuang's house."

Zhou Hua's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really?"

"Is this really true? Apart from Xie Zhuang, you have no playmates. Why don't you go back to the county town and eat at Zuo's house every day, or even cook for yourself.

You've had enough fun, why not bring Zuo Heng and the others back to play? It's a great vacation, don't bore yourself to death, spend it however you want."

After saying that, he took out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed it into the third brother's hand, "Go have fun! Have fun however you want. You can even ask Mei Zi out for barbecue or a movie. We don't need you here. Don't tie yourself up here and waste your time."

Zhou Hua grabbed the money and hugged his sister. "Thank you! I can't help you here, so I'll go back."

Seeing that he had regained his energy, Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Go ahead! Just take care of yourself."

Zhou Niao also took out twenty yuan and handed it to his brother, "I have money too, you spend it first, and when I make a lot of money, I'll give you more."

Zhou Hua also hugged his elder brother and said, "Thank you, elder brother. You are the best elder brother."

Zhou Niao smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Zhou Hua went upstairs to pack his things, put on his backpack, carried his skateboard, and rode a bike with his elder brother to Xiaoxie Village.

Zhou Niao followed and rode the bicycle back.
