The couple sat for a while and then left. Liu Hui never mentioned the topic of working with Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang thought that after he enjoyed the freedom of being a boss, who would be willing to be controlled by others?

When Zhou's father and mother came back and heard that Zhu Hang's biological parents had come and wanted to take Jian Jian and Kang Kang away, they were so angry that they wanted to curse, "What a nonsense!"

"Mom and Dad, why are you so angry? Can they take them away just because they want to? Let's not talk about this anymore. What did Teacher Mao say?"

Zhou's mother told everything to her little daughter, and Zhou's father got up to see his grandson.

Zhou's parents took Zhou Niao to Teacher Mao's house. The whole family was home, and when Teacher Mao heard that Zhou Niao wanted to go out for a walk, he approved. He felt that Zhou Niao's painting skills hadn't improved for a long time, and perhaps a walk would help improve them.

I have no objection to holding an art exhibition. On the contrary, I think that holding an art exhibition will receive a lot of opinions.

However, when Zhou Niao took out the so-called filial piety money and pushed for a long time, it was only after Zhou Niao said that he was the mysterious curling smoke from the kitchen a few years ago that Teacher Mao was willing to accept it.

Then he told Zhou Niao to focus on painting and not to get involved in anything else. Zhou Niao naturally agreed.

They stayed at the Mao family's house for another meal. Teacher Mao gave Zhou Niao a lot of instructions before letting the family of three leave.

After staying quietly for two days, Zhou's father suggested going back to Zhoujia Village.

Zhou Xiang did not refuse. She thought it was time to go back and visit her great-grandfather's grave.

Only the father and daughter returned. Zhou Niao was also reluctant to go back as he wanted to say goodbye to his friends.

As soon as you enter Zhoujia Village, you will see two neat rows of two-story houses, which are better than those built in new rural areas in later generations.

A cement road leads to the old village. There are many peaches hanging on the peach trees on both sides of the road. They are slightly red and should be ripe soon.

Seeing Xiao Feihu enter the new village, someone immediately came out from the outermost building at the entrance of the village to check, "Oh, it's Uncle Shi who's back."

After saying this, he immediately shouted to the village, "Uncle Ten is back."

After hearing this shout, many people came out from the dozens of houses in the building.

Zhou Xiang recognized the man; they had been to Xia Village together. After paying the driver and letting him leave, Zhou Xiang and her father were surrounded.

"Uncle Ten is back? He hasn't been back for quite a few years."

"That's right, Uncle Shi. Eh? This is my cousin, right?"

"Yes, I am thinking about my cousin. These eyes can't be wrong. Come on, come in and sit down."

"Come sit at my house, come sit at my house."

Faced with everyone's enthusiasm and the hands reaching out to pull her, Zhou Xiang quickly stepped back.

"Let's go to Second Grandpa's house."

When everyone heard this, they stopped arguing.

Zhou Yidong finally pushed away the people who were surrounding him. "My father and the older generation are still living in the old house! They don't want to leave."

"It's okay, take your time. The new village isn't fully developed yet. We'll invite them over once it's fully developed. Third cousin, come with us!"

"Let's go." Zhou Yidong led the way.

The lake is still the same lake, and there are still a dozen greenhouses standing by the lake.

"Third uncle, how has the greenhouse business been in recent years?"

Zhou Yidong sighed, "No way! The country is promoting greenhouses, and there's no difference between our winter vegetables and summer vegetables. Fortunately, there are many people who only care about our Zhoujia Village vegetables, so we can still make some money every year."

"Then develop it into a tourist village. I think you've made a good start. Follow the plan I gave you and take your time. Have the children collect the flower seeds."

Zhou Yidong hesitated, "But if we don't plant crops in the fields, we won't feel at ease!"

"Don't worry, you haven't even finished building it yet. Move the greenhouse by the lake to the new village and start building the lake. I've brought you good seeds. Continue growing watermelons. I'll have some money in hand, and you'll feel at ease."

Zhou Xiang shook the backpack on his back.

Upon hearing this, the worry on Zhou Yidong's face immediately dissipated. "Great! This way we can speed up our pace. We've been moving at a snail's pace these past few years. It's been frustrating."

"Grow the watermelons and sell them yourself. Don't rely on others. Promote the Zhoujia Village brand, and also build a brand for the future tourist village."

"Okay, our Zhoujia Village is quite famous for its vegetables, so watermelons will be even easier to handle."

As they were talking, they arrived at the place where the second grandfather lived. When the second grandfather saw Zhou Xiang, he recognized him immediately and followed him!

"Second Grandpa!"

"Oh!" The second grandfather shed tears of relief. After studying away from home for so many years, he was happy that he could come back and visit his hometown.

Third Grandfather and Fifth Uncle also came over after hearing the news, "Xiang Xiang, is the girl here?"

"Yes! Third Grandfather, Fifth Uncle."

The two old people's eyes were also red. Zhoujia Village has changed so much now, and it was all thanks to Xiangzi.

Zhou Xiang put down his backpack and took out 20 kilograms of melon seeds. "Here are the good seeds. Just now, when I entered the village, I saw that the atmosphere in the new village was good and everyone's hearts had settled. Let's continue to set sail and build a village like a garden."

When I entered the village just now, although the villagers were trying to fawn on me, they were not servile or demanding, and they were quite friendly to each other, so good seeds were produced again.

It’s been six years, it’s time to build a good back garden.

My second grandfather, my third grandfather, and my fifth uncle were all very excited. "Are there really new good varieties?"

Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes! Now that I'm back, I'll have a chance to get some good seeds."

"Aren't you leaving after you come back?"

"I left. I went back around the 25th. I'm working there. But I'll come back when I have a holiday."

"Great! You have a job in the capital, great! If your great-grandfather knew about this, he would definitely be happy. He kept talking about you when he left."

"Second Grandpa! I'm just visiting the grave of my great-grandfather to tell him and make him happy."

"Okay, ask your third cousin to take you there."

Zhou Yidonggang hurried to the agency store to buy the necessary items for visiting the grave.

Then, he took the father and daughter to the cemetery behind Beihu Lake.

"Fifth Aunt!"

"Fifth Aunt!"

The shouts from behind made Zhou Xiang turn around and she saw two boys and girls running towards her.

"Tiedan? Arya?"

The teenage boy corrected Zhou Xiang's way of addressing her, "Fifth Aunt, I'm twelve years old now. You can't call me by my nickname anymore. You have to call me by my full name, Zhou Wang, and Erya's full name is Zhou Mei."

Zhou wanted to laugh. Tiedan was still as fearless as ever. After not seeing him for six years, the slight sense of strangeness was gone with this.

"Zhou Wang, Zhou Mei."

“Hey!”

“Hey!”

The two responded, and Zhou Wang asked, "Where are you going, Fifth Aunt?"

"Go visit your great-great-grandfather's grave."

"Come along, I also want to go talk to my great-great-grandfather. I got first place in the final exam this time, and I want to tell him."

"Then let's go! Together."

At the northernmost part of Beihu Lake is an ancestral graveyard. In front of a relatively new tombstone, the third uncle stopped and said, "This is it."

Zhou Yidonggang put everything in place, Zhou Quan lit the paper money, and Zhou Yidong followed suit.
