At night, Zuo Heng lay on the kang and couldn't sleep. It was obvious that Zhou Xiang's family conditions were not good before. Those brand new ones were renovated later. Before, there were four ordinary tiled houses.
At that time, she saved me when she just started to earn money. Her family had not had time to improve, so she took me, the burden, with her, saying that she wanted to support herself.
At that time, I really felt like I had grabbed a life-saving straw. No matter that she was three years younger than me, I immediately agreed to go with her.
Fortunately, I followed her and now I have a stable life.
Looking at the brand new door, Zhou Xiang said, you gave me a new life. From now on, I am willing to do anything for you.
Zuo Heng, who had fallen asleep unknowingly, was awakened by the gentle sound of the door opening.
A short figure walked out from inside. Needless to say, it was definitely Zhou Xiang.
"Zhou Xiang?" Zuo Heng called her softly.
"Yeah! Did I wake you up?"
"It's okay, I was a little startled in my sleep."
"It's a new place. It will be ready in two days."
"What are you doing up so early?"
"Exercise a little bit and then cook."
"Can I help you?"
"No, just continue to sleep."
Zhou wanted to practice a set of Tai Chi before dawn, but without anyone to lead him, he felt like he had forgotten many of the movements.
After washing up and feeding the four little dogs, I started making breakfast.
Boiled egg, steamed bun, porridge and pickles, a very simple breakfast.
The Zhou family members got up one after another, and Zhou's father came back wearing a pig-killing apron.
"Think about it, I bought some mandarin fish."
"Okay, put it in the water and kill it at noon."
As Zhou's father returned home, the Zhou family started breakfast. After the meal, Zhou's mother went to work. Zhou's father went to the front to show his face and brought back some dishes.
I killed a chicken with Zhou Yu and prepared lunch.
My little girl hasn’t celebrated her first place in the provincial competition yet, so let’s celebrate together.
Zhou wanted to ask his third brother and Zuo Heng to take their homework to the pavilion to do it.
Li Li came with a woman in her forties.
"Zhou Xiang, this is my mother, here to visit your home," the bathroom.
Li Li stopped talking when she saw the two boys.
One of them looks a bit like Zhou Xiang in his eyes and eyebrows, and the other one looks about thirteen or fourteen years old, gentle and handsome, with a gentle look that makes people calm down involuntarily.
Zhou Xiang smiled and walked forward, "Hello, Auntie. Would you like to sit for a while or go in and take a look first?"
Yu Peilian looked at the bright pavilion. Her daughter came back yesterday and talked about it for a long time. The swing chair also looked really nice.
"Go in and take a look first."
Li Li said softly, "Mom, go in and take a look. I don't understand."
Yu Peilian nodded and followed Zhou Xiang into the yard. The yard was neat and clean, with fruit trees, vegetables, and cement paths. Well, the renovation was quite nice.
I also looked at the washroom and toilet, especially the toilet, which was clean and had no odor.
"This bathroom is really nice. I thought only people who build buildings would have it, but I didn't expect yours would have it too."
"If you understand the principle, you can find a bricklayer."
"Who in your house knows about this? Who built it?"
"The man who made the jacket in Majia Village knows how to make it. His father works as a gatekeeper at the post office."
"Oh! I know, I know. How much does this material cost?"
"Probably over two hundred yuan!"
Yu Peilian was worried. Four months' salary! Is it worth it?
"Auntie, you have to consider your own practical situation. If you don't have a yard, and others have to use your house to use the toilet, wouldn't that be a waste of your hard work for others?"
Yu Peilian nodded. The little girl was one year younger than her daughter, but she had such a long-term perspective. Her daughter was spoiled by her father.
Outside, Li Li stopped making a fuss, and Xie Zhuang, who had just arrived, was still looking at her strangely.
Li Li quickly introduced them. Zhou Xiang had just told her that the older one was Zuo Heng, and the ones who looked a bit like Zhou Xiang were her and Zhou Hua.
"Xie Zhuang, this is Zhou Hua, Zhou Xiang's brother, and this is Zuo Heng, Zhou Hua's classmate.
Zuo Heng, Zhou Hua, this is Xie Zhuang, a classmate of Zhou Xiang and me. He's very familiar with this town, so you can ask him to go and play with you."
You can also follow along.
Xie Zhuang and Zuo Hengzhou greeted each other.
"Don't worry, if you want to go somewhere, just tell me and I'll take you there. I have a lot of friends we can play with."
Zhou Hua and Zuo Heng nodded, "Okay, let's talk about it after we finish our summer homework."
Xie Zhuang wanted to wail. Is this just a matter of people being divided into groups? Zhou Xiang thought that everyone around him was a study freak, and every other sentence he spoke was about studying or doing homework.
When the Zhou family pavilion was being built, the family compound just watched and said nothing, because they were always pessimistic and were always slapped in the face.
After the pavilion was built, the family compound was filled with envy for Zhou's parents. How did they raise their daughter? She could earn money and build new gadgets.
Feng Yun also planned to steal a swing chair in the dark of night, but he couldn't get close to it because there were four dogs at home.
Even if he were to steal it, he couldn't! Zhou Xiang had already thought of this, with horizontal braces underneath and concrete poured in.
In the morning, Zhou wanted to lead people to study, but it was not convenient to try it out. In the afternoon, the chairs were too hot in the sun to sit on. In the evening, there were dogs, so he did not dare to get close and could only watch from a distance.
Aunt Wang's eldest daughter, Wang Hua, brought her youngest daughter, Wang Fang, to the Zhou family pavilion.
"Are you Zhou Hua? You look a bit like Xiang Xiang."
Zhou Hua nodded, "Who are you?"
"I'm Wang Hua, the second child of the Wang family from the west. This is my sister, Wang Fang."
"Oh! Hello, Sister Wang, hello, Wang Fang."
"Can we sit down and study together?"
Zhou Hua hesitated, thinking that he couldn't make the decision casually, as this was a name his younger sister had given him specifically for the sake of her studies.
Zhou Xiang brought Yu Peilian out and saw Wang Hua and Wang Fang. He felt strange because these two sisters didn't like to play with him.
"Think about it, your pavilion is very beautiful and has a great atmosphere. Can my sister and I come here to study together?"
Zhou Xiang looked at Wang Hua and said with a smile, "Okay, but if there are too many students here and it gets crowded, you'll have to give way."
The two sisters were taken care of by their eldest brother and lived a good, simple and happy life.
Wang Hua nodded, "Of course."
Then, pulling her younger sister back to get her homework, Wang Fang asked her elder sister curiously, "Sister, don't you dislike interacting with the Zhou family?"
"The Zhou family has changed. Not only have their financial situation changed, but they've also changed as a family. They're no longer as timid and petty as before. Besides, Zhou wants to lend our family a thousand yuan, so it's right for us to build a good relationship with them. If my eldest brother comes back and knows about the current Zhou family situation, he'll be unhappy if we're still unwilling to get close to them."
Wang Fang nodded and just listened to whatever her elder sister said.
The two sisters took their homework and told their mother about it.
Aunt Wang was very pleased that her children were all sensible.
"Yes, it's time to hang out with the Zhou family. You don't have any playmates in this family compound."
Yu Peilian let her daughter study at Zhou's house without any worries and went back first.
However, classmate Li Li was not focused on her studies and was always glancing to the left.
