When Liu Aixia saw Zhou Bin coming, she hurriedly came over to greet him: "Hey, Brother Zhou, why are you here? Come in and sit down!"
Zhou Bin smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, is Brother Zhang here?"
Liu Aixia smiled and said, "Yes, he is going to the toilet right now. Wait a moment, I will go call him."
He invited Zhou Bin into the house, brought him tea and cigarettes, and then went to the backyard to call Zhang Hongwei.
Zhou Bin looked around while drinking tea.
This was his first time visiting Zhang Hongwei's home, which was considered a rather eye-catching place in the entire village.
The room was painted white and had paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls. The most eye-catching thing was that he had a 14-inch TV.
Zhou Bin thought to himself, this brother really knows how to enjoy life!
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Hongwei ran in in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the house, he smiled and said, "Oh, Brother Zhou is here, it really brings honor to our humble home!"
Zhou Bin laughed: "Brother Zhang, how come you have become so literary?"
Zhang Hongwei grinned and said, "You're here, so exciting."
He said to Liu Aixia in a hurry, "Hurry up and buy some vegetables and meat, and buy a bottle of Xifeng. I'll treat Brother Zhou to a good meal of spicy soup noodles today."
Liu Aixia smiled and agreed: "Okay, I'll buy it for you right away."
Zhou Bin said hurriedly: "Brother Zhang, no need, I've already eaten. I'll be back soon after I finish my work."
Zhang Hongwei said without question: "That won't do. You finally came to my house, how can you leave? Ai Xia, go quickly."
Liu Aixia turned around and left in a hurry. Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you are too polite."
Zhang Hongwei quickly picked up the Hongtashan cigarette on the table and gave it to Zhou Bin. He smiled and asked, "Brother Zhou, what's the matter that requires you to come here in person?"
Zhou Bin told Zhang Hongwei about his plan to build a house and asked him to help contact a reliable construction team.
When Zhang Hongwei heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said, "This is great news! Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
Zhou Bin knew that Zhang Hongwei had traveled a lot and knew many people, so as soon as he heard the request, he agreed.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Zhou Bin felt relieved and started chatting with Zhang Hongwei.
He pointed at the TV in the room and said, "Brother Zhang, you are really rich. You even bought a TV."
Zhang Hongwei smiled and turned on the TV, saying, "This is an old TV I bought from someone else. It's barely watchable."
Zhou Bin said sincerely: "Well, not bad."
Zhang Hongwei asked with a smile: "Why, you want to get one too?"
Zhou Bin nodded and smiled: "Yes, I will buy it when I finish my work."
Zhang Hongwei nodded and said, "This thing is really good. You should get one. Your wife will definitely like it."
Zhou Bin saw that his wife's meal would not be ready for a while, so he said, "Brother Zhang, how about we go and talk to the construction team first, and then come back to eat?"
Zhang Hongwei smiled and said, "That's fine. Come on, I'll take you there."
Zhang Hongwei rode a motorcycle and brought Zhou Bin to find Wang Manshan from their street, who was the contractor of the construction team.
After Zhang Hongwei explained his purpose, Wang Manshan agreed without hesitation. Zhou Bin agreed with him to start preparations two days later.
Wang Manshan got a project out of the blue, and was naturally very happy, so he wanted to invite Zhou Bin and Zhang Hongwei to dinner.
Zhang Hongwei firmly refused, saying that his wife had already prepared the meal.
Finally, the two returned to Zhang Hongwei's home, where Liu Aixia had already prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Bin went home.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw the village chief Zhou Defu sitting in the yard, with his father and Liu Junyi talking beside him.
Zhou Bin immediately greeted him: "Third Grandpa, why are you here?"
When Zhou Defu saw Zhou Bin coming back, he immediately smiled and said, "Zhou Bin, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
Zhou Bin came over, sat down, and asked, "Third Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
Zhou Defu said excitedly: "You kids, you are still playing dumb with me. It's just about you building a school for our village!"
Zhou Jianming continued, "He went to the township to look for a construction team and didn't have time to tell you. Please don't be offended."
Zhou Defu laughed: "Why should I be surprised? I am so happy! This is a great thing! Zhou Bin, you are the first in our village!"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Oh, I thought it was something else. What's so great about this? It's just building a house."
Zhou Defu stood up immediately and said, "You have done a great thing for our village. If it were in the past, everyone would have built a memorial archway for your family."
Zhou Bin grinned and said, "Third Grandpa, you are exaggerating."
Zhou Defu waved his hand and said, "Zhou Bin, don't be so modest. All the villagers are grateful for your kindness. Tomorrow everyone will come to thank you. People from the township will also come. You should be ready."
When Zhou Bin heard this, he immediately said, "What? The township needs more people to come? I don't think it's necessary."
Zhou Defu said loudly: "How can we let this go? This is such a big thing, of course we have to publicize it well."
Liu Junyi gave a thumbs up and said, "Zhou Bin, you are indeed an extraordinary kid. You will definitely be a big shot in the future!"
Zhou Jianming kept laughing and said, "Oh, don't bother anyone."
Zhou Defu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Zhou Bin paid a lot of money for it."
The next day, just after Zhou Bin's family had finished breakfast, they heard the sound of gongs and drums in the distance.
Li Nan and Xiao Hua went out to see immediately. After a while, they came running in excitedly. Li Nan shouted, "Dad, Brother Bin, they are here!"
