Guan Bo helped measure the dimensions, and Guan Tao recorded the dimensions and positions of each place.
This wardrobe with four or six doors is so simple and very practical.
Guan Bo whispered, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? We measured it on site and placed it according to the shape of the house. How great! Better than your big station cabinet, right?"
Guan Tao nodded, "Yes, thank you cousin."
"You! Don't be so arrogant because of your talent. There are so many talented people in this world. My niece is one of them. She can make money by making anything she wants as long as she has a new design and a blueprint.
At that time, you can only charge for the wood, and don't ask for labor. Just consider it the cost of the blueprints. They even gave commission for the jacket and the kang! Later, when the Zhou family didn't want it anymore, he didn't pay. He took any work from the Zhou family and did it for free. He learned the technology and skills."
"Thank you for your teachings, cousin, and for the opportunity you gave me this time."
"Okay, get to work and stop talking nonsense."
After measuring the dimensions, Guan Tao said that he would come back for the installation in half a month, and then he quickly left with the drawings.
Half a month! I also have to figure out the on-site assembly, so I don’t have to lift the furniture, I can just carry the various parts to assemble them.
The idea is good, but you have to think it over carefully and make it fit perfectly without any mistakes.
The next day, Sun Qing came to class and was also stunned by the Zhou family's pavilion. Last week, she thought they were repairing the outer courtyard wall, but it turned out to be for this pavilion.
Zhou wanted to ask his elder brother whether he took classes inside the house or outside.
Zhou Niao thought about his own clumsiness and said, "Let's do it inside!"
"good!"
Zhou wanted to bring Sun Qing into the main room.
"Teacher Sun, it's summer vacation now. You can come every other day. After two weeks, give my brother a break! We'll continue after school starts."
Sun Qing nodded, as she also wanted to go home and take a look.
When Xie Zhuang wanted to go play with Zhou Niao, Zhou Xiang stopped him and said, "My elder brother is in class and the get out of class ends at 10 o'clock. You should do your homework first."
"Class?" Xie Zhuang was surprised.
"Yeah! Art class. He likes to draw."
Xie Zhuang sat down, but his mind wandered. Zhou Niao, despite her mental disability, could still study, but what about him? His parents had asked him to study at Zhou's house, hoping to build a good relationship with Zhou Xiang and improve his grades. He had just gone through the motions, treating his visit like school.
"Zhou Xiang, can you teach me? I don't know how to do many of the questions, so I just wrote them down randomly."
Zhou Xiang put down the pen in his hand, took his summer homework and looked through it.
"Bring your third and fourth grade Chinese and math textbooks tomorrow, and I'll explain them again. You'll understand them soon. Don't do this homework yet, it's a waste."
Xie Zhuang nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
Seeing that he had nothing to do, Zhou Xiang said, "Go to the window in the yard and listen to how my elder brother studies. Maybe you will get some inspiration."
Xie Zhuang quietly entered the yard, squatted under the window, and listened to Zhou Niao's questions in a childish tone.
It was as if I was back in the first grade, when I was excited and positive.
After the excitement, all that remains is the worry of memorizing and doing homework.
Then I felt too tired and annoyed. But Zhou Niao in the room was already an adult, and he still used his childish intelligence to work hard to learn what he liked.
Perhaps, Zhou wanted to ask himself to attend the class in order to regain his original enthusiasm and the meaning of learning?
Zhou Niao came out of class and saw Xie Zhuang squatting on the ground. "Xie Zhuang, what are you doing?"
Xie Zhuang looked up at him and asked, "Zhou Niao, do you like going to school?"
Zhou Niao squatted down and looked him in the eye, "I like it, I like it very much. I used to attend the first grade, but after a few days, the teacher didn't want me anymore, saying I was stupid. My mother begged the principal and the teacher, but it was useless.
Now it’s all right. My sister found a teacher for me and I can study again.”
Xie Zhuang felt mixed emotions as he listened to his tone change from envy to depression and then to happiness.
"Zhou Niao, you are very capable, and you have a good sister."
"Of course, my sister is the best!"
In the following days, Xie Zhuang listened to Zhou Xiang's lectures very attentively, and occasionally eavesdropped on Zhou Niao's classes.
Zhou Xiang discovered that Xie Zhuang was actually very smart and could learn things easily, but he was rebellious and went against the teachers and parents who forced him to do things.
Recently, due to the stimulation from his elder brother, he has regained the mentality of a new student.
Li Li's learning is also improving. When she encounters something she doesn't know, she actively asks Zhou Xiang and asks questions based on his thoughts.
Zhou Xiang discovered that she learned this from Zuo Heng, who often discussed issues with him and raised new questions.
Very good, I successfully fooled a young girl who was working hard for "love".
Wang Hua and Wang Fang still sit at the north end to study every day, quietly, without disturbing anyone.
On the 19th, Zhou Niao's course ended, and Sun Qing left with eight days of tutoring fees.
Xie Zhuang tugged at Zhou Niao's arm, "Brother, I've watched you study for so many days, but I haven't seen your paintings yet! Can you draw me a picture?"
Zhou Niao was a little hesitant.
Zhou wondered if his elder brother had any confidence.
"Brother, go get your sketchpad and draw him a picture. Let him know how awesome my brother is."
Since his sister spoke, Zhou Niao no longer refused. He took out his drawing board and sat under the pavilion.
Xie Zhuang sat opposite him excitedly, but Zhou Niao didn't even look at him and started painting directly.
Xie Zhuang saw him lowering his head, making a few quick strokes on the drawing board, and then painting carefully.
I might as well turn behind Zhou Niao. Since he wasn't looking at me, why should I just sit there like an idiot?
After just one glance, Xie Zhuang was stunned. The picture was indeed himself, but not his current self. Instead, it was himself squatting under the window for the first time.
The dazed look as he squatted under the window, the confusion in his eyes, and the raised head seemed to be looking for hope.
"Hey, big brother, that's too much. How can you compare yourself to my hope?"
Zhou Niao didn't even raise his head. "Isn't it? Didn't you find the joy of learning from me?"
Xie Zhuang was choked. Is his elder brother really only of the intelligence of a six or seven-year-old?
The people who were studying had some doubts when Zhou Niao took out the drawing board. After hearing what Xie Zhuang said, Li Li was the first one who couldn't help herself.
She also came behind Zhou Niao and saw Xie Zhuang on the drawing paper, and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, Xie Zhuang, you're such a coward, hahahaha."
Now, not only Zuo Heng and Zhou Hua came over, but also the sisters Wang Hua and Wang Fang came to watch.
Xie Zhuang wanted to cover it up so that no one could see it, but not only could he not cover the drawing paper with his own hands, but his elder brother was painting so seriously that he couldn't bear to disturb him, or even ruin the painting.
So, Xie Zhuang, who had given up hope, said, "Look, look! Look carefully, everyone, this is the most cowardly look I've ever had in my life. Remember this. You won't have the chance to see it again. I'm going to take it back and keep it carefully. Maybe when big brother becomes a famous painter, this painting of mine will be priceless."
