Chen Ou and Tang Mei’s child was born on September 15th, and he is indeed a caring little cotton-padded jacket.

Chen Ou was very happy. He thought that cute girls were better than naughty boys. Didn’t he see that the eldest brother was seriously sleep deprived?

Seeing that Chen Ou was really happy, Tang Mei felt relieved. She decided to have another child secretly later. It would be great to have both a son and a daughter.

Zhou Xiang only had time to take a look.

Even when her third cousin came to get watermelon seeds, she simply went back to the north building to smuggle them out, handed them to her third cousin, and hurried back to the construction site.

Zuo Youcheng finally returned as Zhou Xiang had been waiting. "Dad Zuo, where did you buy this carpet?"

"In the northwest, Wu Haotian said this is produced in abundance there, and the price is quite affordable."

Zhou Xiang opened a carpet and took a look. "Thank you for your hard work. Are you afraid?"

Zuo Youcheng shook his head. "Don't be afraid. The people over there are quite welcoming, and there are quite a few foreigners!"

"Really? You've really learned a lot this time."

Zuo Youcheng smiled and said, "Indeed, I was shocked when I first saw it! This trip is worth it in my life."

The carpet has been bought, and the installation of the playroom can begin. The beautiful carpet has been laid, and the various toys that have been painted in bright colors have begun to be moved in. The slide still needs to be assembled.

Guan Tao took off his shoes, thought for a while, put them back on, washed his feet, dried them, and then walked in.

"The carpet is so beautiful. It's for children to play on. We can't let them step on it and make it dirty."

His apprentice also followed his example and washed his feet before going in. It was a simple herringbone slide, and you only needed to buckle it together at the top.

The red and blue slides were set up, and the playroom immediately became lively.

Guan Tao smiled and said, "I'm kind of eager to try it."

Zhou Xiang took off his shoes, walked in, and went up the slide. "It's better to act than to think."

Guan Tao couldn't help but slide down as well. "Haha, the slide is a bit crowded for me."

His apprentice also tried it, and the two adults left the playroom.

Zhou wanted to put every toy in place, and he left the playroom and locked the door. If he didn't lock the door, the playroom would be finished in a day. He didn't want to talk about hygiene with the workers in the 1980s.

He handed the key to Zhu Hang and said, "Wait until all the workers have left before opening the doors and windows to get rid of the smell."

Zhu Hang nodded, "Okay! It's almost done. It will be all done in two days."

"Then I'll wait two more days and go back to school after the inspection."

The flower beds and drainage ditches in the yard have been completed, and only the cobblestone road remains to be paved. After flattening the cement slurry, it is necessary to flatten the cobblestones of different sizes, which is really a bit difficult.

After a day and a half, the cobblestone road was finally paved, and Zhou wanted to settle the wages with the master magua.

The agreed price for the contract was 20,000 yuan, but Ma Gua said he would give him a 50% discount since he had learned new skills, so Zhou Xiang offered 16,000 yuan.

"Half-and-half is too much. Fifteen thousand is the discounted salary, and one thousand is the duty fee and overtime pay. I won't calculate them one by one. You can go back and divide it among everyone!"

Ma Gua took the sixteen stacks of money and said, "Okay! I won't be polite with you. Let's exchange the cutting machine for the well digging!"

"Yeah! Forget about the odds and ends, let's leave it at that!"

The construction site was completely finished, and Zhou Xiang called Zhu Hang and Wu Haotian, "I'm going back to school. My brother-in-law will take care of it here. I'll buy some cloth for the bedding and curtains.

"Brother Wu, you should take a break first. As for Father Zuo, I think two more visits will be enough."

Zhu Hang and Wu Haotian both nodded. "You should hurry back to school. It's the 22nd, and it's National Day holiday again."

"Yeah! How about I go back to school after the National Day holiday?"

Zhu Hang and Wu Haotian turned and left.

Zhou wanted to return to the county town, but he was not in a hurry to go to school. Instead, he found a real estate company.

Haha, this is a reasonable use of space! The company's lobby has directly become a sales office.

When the receptionist saw Zhou Xiang, a little girl, walking in, he also welcomed her warmly.

"Little girl, are you looking for a house or someone?"

"Looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for? I'll help you."

"Song Sui."

The receptionist's smile faded. "He's not here."

"Song Yunqing."

The receptionist couldn't hold back his smile. The girl's tone was not polite at all. Was she here to cause trouble?

However, thinking of the politeness and consideration that the manager required, he put on his smile again.

"May I ask who's calling?"

Seeing that she was still smiling but speaking in a rude tone, Zhou Xiang became impatient and said coldly, "You can find either of them, just say it's Zhou Xiang who's looking for them."

The receptionist was either stunned by her indifference or what, and he simply went to find someone.

Soon, she brought Manager Song downstairs and pointed at Zhou Xiang, "This is the girl who said she wanted to see Song Sui."

When Song Yunqing heard that a little girl was looking for him and his son, he guessed it was Zhou Xiang. Sure enough, the receptionist had also given this name, so he immediately got up and went downstairs.

In the hall, the only little girl looking at the sand table is Zhou Xiang, right?

"Zhou Xiang."

"Director Song, no, Manager Song, it's really hard to see you now!"

"What are you talking about? If you come, just go upstairs, right?"

"You have such strict discipline here, it would be strange if you could get in."

"Okay! I'll give you a work badge in a moment, and you can go upstairs with the badge. Let's go upstairs and talk."

"I'm not going up. I have something personal to discuss with you."

"you say."

"My building is finished, and the rooftop water tower is also built. We need workers like last time to install the water pump and lay the pipes, as well as electricians."

"Okay! No problem. I'll ask Song Sui to bring people to look for you tomorrow. Have you not been in the county recently?"

"Of course, I'm busy in the market town! By the way, can you come and see my new building tomorrow? I have a business that I'd like to cooperate with you on. Would you like to come and check it out?"

"Okay! I'll go with you tomorrow and have breakfast at your house."

Zhou Xiang finished a few words and left. Manager Song told the receptionist behind him, "Next time she comes, take her upstairs immediately. No need to inform her, even if I'm in a meeting."

The receptionist nodded repeatedly, feeling lucky that he did not offend the girl with his bad tone. She was obviously an acquaintance of the Song family father and son.

Although the girl was young, she spoke to Manager Song as if they were equals.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhou wanted to take a bus to the city. He remembered that there were more cloths in the city department store.

Seeing the floral fabrics on the counter, Zhou Xiang felt really conflicted.

But there’s nothing we can do about it, it’s the characteristics of the times!

"Sister, do you have any plain and thicker fabrics? I want to buy a lot."

The salesperson was impressed by her address and responded with a friendly expression, "Yes, khaki is mostly plain and thick fabric."

"Sister, I want 60 bolts of plain khaki and 40 bolts of those plain striped or plaid fabrics you see over the counter. Do you have any?"

The salesperson looked at her in surprise, "Are you kidding me, little girl?"

"No, that's all I need."

"You'll need to ask the manager."

"Excuse me, sister."

The salesperson called the manager, but the manager didn't believe she wanted to buy so much cloth, so he sent her home and told her not to cause trouble.
