Xie Zhuang had toys to keep him busy, and he played and wrote at the same time. After half a day, he had finished several pages, catching up with Li Li's speed. It seemed that this guy was just not focused and couldn't sit still, not that he couldn't learn.
At noon, Xie Zhuang and Li Li left reluctantly. Xie Zhuang was reluctant to leave his toys and Zhou Niao, and Li Li was reluctant to leave Zuo Heng.
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Go back quickly! Come back tomorrow morning."
Wang Hua also took Wang Fang away, and Wang Fang looked back as she walked.
Zhou Xiang followed her gaze and saw that it was Zuo Heng again. He couldn't help laughing in his heart. Zuo Heng's gentle yet slightly melancholy temperament was very attractive to the little girl.
At noon, Zhou's father prepared a big meal. He sat under the ceiling fan with a towel around his neck, wiping his sweat while the wind blew on him, and he was sweating all the time.
"Dad, go wipe your sweat with warm water, then come over here and let the wind blow, and you'll feel cool."
Zhou's father got up and went out. Zhou wanted to put the dishes away and took out the soda and opened it.
There is always soda at home, which is prepared by my father because my older brother and I like to drink it.
Zhou Xiang paused, and thinking of his father's unstoppable sweating just now, he felt his eyes sore and his heart warm.
After everyone sat down, Zhou's father raised his beer bottle and said, "Welcome Zuo Heng to be our guest today, welcome Zhou Hua home, and congratulate Xiang Xiang for winning first place in the provincial competition. Come on, let's have a toast."
Six soda bottles clinked against his beer bottle, and everyone took a sip with a smile on their faces.
Zhou Niao was happy for his younger brother and sister.
Zhou Yuwei was happy that his younger brother finally returned home.
Zhou Hua was happy that he was no longer a child who could not return home.
Zhou Xiang smiled with red eyes. Her efforts were not in vain after all. Everyone was changing. Although her mother told her not to worry about it at first and let her change, she could not make money as fast as herself. Without money, any promise would be pale and powerless.
"I respect Dad. You have worked hard today."
Father Zhou raised his beer bottle and clinked it with his daughter's. "It's not hard. Dad is proud of you."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and took a few sips, while also holding back the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Zuo Heng finally understood that the Zhou family members were all trying hard to change, changing for their family.
Zhou's mother smiled with tears in her eyes, and Zhou's father wiped away his tears while wiping his sweat.
Zhou Xiang picked up a piece of chicken for everyone at the table.
"Come on, one piece each. After you finish this one, whoever is quicker gets the rest."
The atmosphere at the table immediately became relaxed.
Zhou Yu was the first to agree, "Okay, eat the meat based on your hand speed."
Zhou's mother looked at the pairs of chopsticks flying on the table, and her tears finally turned to smile. It was so good that they were finally reunited.
In the afternoon, Zhou wanted to prevent his third brother and Zuo Heng from studying. "We should combine work and rest. It's time to play. We can study in the evening when it's cooler."
Zhou Hua and Zuo Heng played with their eldest brother.
Zhou Xiang dragged his father out of his nap to find a carpenter, "Dad, go find a carpenter to make a wardrobe for us. We can't fit more of our things at home."
"Okay, I'll go look for Fatty Guan. He has a partner who sits on the swing chair with him."
"Okay, call the carpenter back and I'll give him the blueprints."
"Another blueprint?"
As long as my daughter provides the blueprints, she can make money.
"Yeah! You can tell Fatty Uncle to ask someone close to him to come, and the drawings will be given away for free."
"Okay, I'll give your fat uncle some more benefits this time."
Zhou's father rode out on his bike, and Zhou wanted to start drawing the blueprint. A simple four-door wardrobe that reached the ceiling was outlined in just a few strokes. Well, the basic shape was out, but the size was not his business.
Fatty Guan knew that Ma Gua had made a lot of money from the kang and septic tank. When he heard Zhou Quan say that Zhou Xiang had the blueprints to make a wardrobe, he immediately agreed.
"Wait, I'll go back and call someone. My cousin is a carpenter. I asked him to make the swing chair, but he didn't want to. He said he only makes big things, not chairs or benches! This time, there's a large wardrobe with blueprints. I wonder if he'll still be stubborn?"
Zhou Quan gave him the bicycle and said, "You ride back and call me, I'll walk back."
Guan Bo didn't bother to be polite with him. He closed the door, got on his bike and went back to the village.
When Guan Bo brought his men, the sun was about to set, but the radiant light was still on the top of the mountain, unwilling to go down.
Guan Bo's clothes were soaking wet. He dragged someone in and said, "Come in here. I told you, it's no use being stubborn. You can make those stupid remarks after you see the actual drawings."
The person being grabbed nodded and said, "Alright, cousin, let me go. We're already at the place. I'm going to make sure you're convinced, or you make me convinced."
Guan Bo let the man go, and a thin young man appeared in front of Zhou Xiang.
Zhou Xiang looked at Guan Bo suspiciously, "Uncle Fatty, this guy is so thin, can he push the plane?"
The young man looked at Zhou Xiang, then at Guan Bo, "Is this the person you mentioned who produced the blueprints?"
Guan Bo nodded.
The young man shook his head. "Cousin, please stop teasing me. What does she know? Does she know carpentry?"
Zhou Xiang didn't even need Bo to answer, he shook his head and said, "I don't understand. Why would I ask you if I know carpentry? I can do it myself."
Guan Tao was just a young man who was choked. The girl spoke very harshly. I have never seen a carpenter being choked in these days. When a family hires a carpenter or a bricklayer to do work, doesn't it treat them like ancestors?
"Okay! For my cousin's sake, I'll give you a chance. Let me take a look at your drawings."
"Humph! For Fatty Uncle's sake, I'll give you a chance, a chance to broaden your horizons."
Everyone was holding back their laughter.
Zhou Xiang took Guan Tao into the south room, holding the crooked drawing he had drawn.
"It needs to be two meters high, and then it needs to be extended to the ceiling. There's room for a large quilt inside. The width of the cabinet needs to be based on the actual situation of the house, and the depth needs to be 50 centimeters.
This cabinet only needs one shelf to hang clothes on, and you can use drawers underneath, or you can leave them out for quilts. This half doesn't need shelves, just hang clothes on the hangers, and this half has five or six shelves for stacking clothes."
Zhou Xiang pointed at the newly built wall and said, "Finish this wall completely, and this south wall completely as well, but you must leave some space for the windows according to their sizes, otherwise my room won't be bright.
"The four-door design is the basis. If it's too wide, make it six-door. The extra two doors can be made into one of the two types mentioned earlier. Do you understand?"
Guan Tao's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "I understand. Then if we fill both walls, what about the angle?"
"That's your business. You can think of the south wall and the west wall as a set of modular cabinets, with 45-degree angles at each end. They will form a whole when installed."
"Okay, that's what it should be. This drawing is really ugly."
"Hey? You're still excited, right? How about I give it to someone else?"
"No, this drawing is really beautiful."
"hypocritical!"
"Sincerely."
"Okay, the same goes for the room outside, but build a shelf where the water tank would be, like a bookshelf, all the way to the ceiling."
"Okay, I'll take the measurements."
