Mother Zhou took the bowl from Zhong Xiong and said, "That's enough. If you can't finish it, just leave some leftovers. There are many children in the family. They can each eat one and finish it quickly."
Zhong Xiong felt a little embarrassed, "Aunt Jiang, I was too greedy."
"It's okay. It's Chinese New Year, so you have to eat until you're full. You haven't been here for a long time, so you're craving it."
Zhong Xiong nodded repeatedly, "Yes! I will still come here often to eat."
"Okay, come when you're free."
It was dawn, and many people in the town came to pay New Year's greetings and get to know each other. Then the Gang of Six and Liu Xuewen and his companions left.
Zhou wanted to ask Ling Ran to pack up their things, and they went to pay New Year's greetings to Zhou Zuoping. The town was still an unfamiliar place to Zhou Zuoping, so it was impossible that no guests would come to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, right?
There were also Liu Xuewen and Sister Tian's places, and by the way, we went to pay New Year's greetings to the parents of Lu Jin and the other three people.
Professor Chu followed along, as he needed to catch up on some sleep.
If you have a lot of stuff, just drive! The car can only be parked on the roadside.
We carried the things from Zhou and Liu's families first, and then we finished carrying them with the help of Xiao Tan.
Zhou Yizhou had just arrived home. Seeing Zhou Xiang carrying something, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh! Let me take it. Is this the dried fish in the bag?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes! This is my family's specialty!"
"Where's Ling Ran?"
"It's Tian Li's house next door! I'll be there soon."
Xiao Tan put down the oil and milk in his hands and went back.
Chen Wenlian greeted him warmly, "Come on, come in and sit down. You haven't seen this house yet, have you?"
"Not really. I've only seen the teacher's house."
"Come on, let me show you around. Your design is really good. It's very comfortable to live in."
Zhou Zuoping didn't have time to talk to Zhou Xiang before he was pulled away by his wife. Fortunately, Ling Ran came over and asked when work would start. He was bored at home.
Zhou Xiang followed Chen Wenlian upstairs, and Chen Wenlian showed her Zhou Weibin's room.
The warehouse is large, with two rooms designed on the first floor and three rooms and a cloakroom on the second floor.
Zhou Weibin's room is the largest, with an area of 120 square meters. Chen Wenlian designed a bedroom that combines study, fitness and entertainment.
"Auntie Chen's method is good. All these toys are in a large, open room, so he can always see them. After a while, he might get tired of seeing and playing with them, and the novelty will wear off. This way, his attention won't be distracted while he's studying, and his mind won't be racing."
Chen Wenlian smiled, "Yes, that's what I thought. Once the novelty wears off, I'll just focus on studying. However, putting them together like this doesn't make the room feel empty. Let's go and see his dad's room. He didn't like what I did, so he changed it up himself. It feels empty now."
The 80-square-meter room next to it is Zhou Yizhou's room. There is nothing in it except a wardrobe and a bed. It is indeed very empty.
"I wanted to put his bookshelf and desk here, but he refused and insisted on moving it to the room over there, saying he wanted a separate study. Anyway, his dad and I live on the first floor, and there are plenty of rooms, so he can have his own!"
The study was also very empty. The large bookshelf and desk, as well as a bed, had been dismantled and placed against the wall.
"Well! This study is big. It's quite quiet if I work or read here. It's good. Everyone has different habits."
Chen Wenlian nodded. "Yes! The study looks good arranged like this. Let him do whatever he wants! Upstairs is his and his son's world."
Downstairs, Liu Xuewen and his family of three also came over. Tian Li asked, "Do you want to visit us?"
Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "Let's go and see what you think. Aunt Chen designed Binbin's room very well."
The three women changed venue again.
Shanshan's room is designed to imitate a princess's room, with pink curtains, a white carpet at the end of the bed, and a 1.5-meter Simmons bed covered with a pink duvet cover.
A white wardrobe, white bookshelves and desk, and a white swing chair with a lot of artificial flowers wrapped around it.
It's very dreamy, but Zhou Xiang disagrees. Such an environment will affect the child's personality.
Yes, every woman has a princess dream. Tian Li’s pampering of Shanshan, coupled with this dreamy room, I wonder what Shanshan’s personality will be like in the future.
She only felt that under such circumstances, there were only two possibilities: either being cowardly and indecisive, or being arrogant and unreasonable. Either way, it was the temperament she hated the most.
"How is it?" Tian Li looked at Zhou Xiang expectantly.
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Very good, a room like a princess."
Tian Li smiled and said, "Yes, I want to give Shanshan the best of everything in the world."
Zhou Xiang was speechless. The best of everything in the world? Haha, what is the standard for the best of everything? What you think is the best, your child might think it is the worst. If you say too much, your child will think that you are breaking your promise and incompetent.
But I just gave birth to a child, so I don’t have the experience to teach others, nor am I qualified, nor do I need to.
Because she had already noticed that Tian Li had a problem with her mentality. Maybe it was because she had finally gotten the child, or because the child was weak at birth, or because of the infertility she had experienced for many years, and the criticism she received.
All these made her very nervous about her daughter who came late. She was afraid that she would melt if she held her in her mouth, and she was afraid that she would fall if she held her in her hands.
Chen Wenlian just laughed dryly. She couldn't respond to this. A girl was even more spoiled than her own son Binbin. She didn't make such bold statements when her husband Zhou was in a high position.
The three women returned to Zhou's house and sat for a while. Then Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang got up and left. They still had four other families to visit to wish them a happy new year.
I returned to the car on the roadside, picked up the gifts, and went to Lu Jin's yard.
When Lu Jin's parents saw their big boss coming to wish them a happy new year, they were so nervous they didn't know what to do. "We should go and wish the boss a happy new year."
Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "During the Chinese New Year, we don't talk about the relationship between superiors and subordinates, we only talk about the relationship between elders and juniors. Lu Jin and Ling Ran are brothers, so you are the elders. We should come to wish you a happy new year.
Besides, you guys have left your hometown, so I have to be more enthusiastic, so that you don’t miss home and you are willing to do this kind of work with few holidays."
Lu's father and mother waved their hands repeatedly. "No, we don't miss home. It's great here, much better than back in the mountains. The food and accommodation are good, and the working environment is great. How could we miss home?"
"That's good, that's good. I hear that the accent of uncle and aunt has changed a lot. It sounds a lot like our town dialect."
"Lu Jin taught us. Once we learn the Xuzhen dialect, we can understand it. We can't be deaf."
"Uncles and aunts are quite gifted in languages. It's not easy for many older people to change their accents."
"No, no, we're not good enough yet. Li Nong's parents are amazing. Their accent is almost the same as the town dialect. But Zeng Jie's parents' accent is hard to change."
"It doesn't matter. With time, I'm sure I'll be able to change. Xuzhen dialect is easy to learn."
"That's right, that's right. It's just some of the dialects that we don't understand. But we've learned the general ones."
While Zhou Xiang was chatting here, Ling Ran took Lu Jin and called the security guard in the neighboring yard for help. They went to the car to deliver the gifts to the other three families.
