Zhou Xiang saw Zuo Youcheng following behind Wu Haotian, so he asked him if he was still used to it.
Zuo Youcheng smiled and said, "That's great. I'm used to it and can learn a lot."
"From now on, I will take over Brother Chao's job."
"good!"
After the tour, everyone went back to the new building in Beitou. Wu Haotian took Zuo Youcheng and Ma Zhao to look after the construction site, while Zhu Hang and Zhong Xiong went back to help entertain the guests.
Zhou Xiang brought his classmates from the county town back for the first time, so he had to treat them well.
Everyone, including Zhu Hang and Zhong Xiong, treated Yang Yang on the side of the road as air. Zhu Hang and the others had known about Yang Yang's changes for a long time, but they didn't expect him to come again.
Yang Yang came to his senses only after the group of people left. He heard that the Zhou family's house had been demolished and a new building had been built from his parents' mouths and from the residents of the town.
But it was far less shocking than what he saw with his own eyes. The netting could no longer cover the buildings inside, and the floor slabs being poured could be seen from a long distance outside. The area enclosed by the netting was so large, and the building area revealed inside was so large.
Everything is different from two years ago, when the Zhou family was still an ordinary family.
Now, looking at the net rope and the building, the Zhou family has become increasingly distant and out of reach.
What capital did he have to pursue Zhou Xiang? Ling Ran at least had his parents' resources and connections, but what about him?
After leaving in disappointment, Yang Yang returned home and lay motionless on the bed!
Yang's parents were very worried because their son had never been so devastated before, not even when he did poorly in the entrance exam to junior high school.
The new building at the north end is bustling with activity. The children are curiously observing everything, and even the iron fence of the courtyard wall can be seen with flowers.
Xiao Chunmei was taken care of by Zhou Hua and always followed the blind lady.
Zhou Chao took the opportunity to ask Zhou Xiang how much the new building would cost.
Zhou Xiang estimated, "It'll cost tens of thousands just to build it, not to mention the renovations and stuff. What for? You want to build a house too?"
Zhou Chao shook his head, "No, I'm just estimating the cost of the house."
"When you come to the capital and find a suitable courtyard, buy it. Don't think it's too expensive; it will get more expensive in the future. If you don't have enough money, send a telegram back to borrow money. Only when you have your own house can you be considered to have taken root in the capital."
"Okay! I know. You bought so many houses because you planned for their value to appreciate in the future, right? That means house prices will only get higher and higher."
"Yes! Just trust me!"
Zhou's father and mother were busy in the kitchen, so Zhu Hang and Zhong Xiong went to the kitchen to help.
"Oh! I feel like our kitchen is still a little small. But, Uncle Zhou, your kitchen is big, so we won't be afraid of having too many guests in the future."
Father Zhou smiled and said, "We still need to get another gas stove. Otherwise, with so many people and not enough stoves, we won't be able to handle it."
"Yes! We should have more gas stoves. We have to tell Zhou Xiang." Zhong Xiong was very proactive and wanted to go to Zhou's house for meals in the future.
Zhou Xiang listened to this and thought for a moment before saying, "We'll talk about this later. We still need to burn firewood to keep warm in the winter. We can build a firewood stove in the three-meter gap between the west wall and the firewood stove. What are you worried about?"
Zhong Xiong didn’t understand these things, but since Zhou wanted to say so, then let’s do it!
Speaking of stoves, Zhou Xiang thought of the floor and walls of his own house, as well as the kitchen stove.
These may have to be purchased in Guangzhou in the south. At this time, domestic tile production is slow and supply exceeds demand, so imported original tiles are in vogue.
Oh! I have to go find those "smugglers". The people I hate dealing with the most are southerners, and among southerners, the ones Zhou Xiang hates dealing with the most are these "smugglers" who deal in goods.
However, she didn't expect that the "smuggler" she met was afraid of northerners because of her.
For lunch, two tables were set up, one for students and one for adults.
Xue Zhendong and Wang Shaoming were still a little hesitant, but when they saw Ji Bin's posture of grabbing the food, they didn't care anymore.
Zhou Hualian took the plate and put some into his own and Xiao Chunmei's bowls before putting the plate back.
Now, with Zhou Hua taking the lead, the plates on the table disappeared from time to time, and when they were put back, they were empty.
Zhou Xiang simply went to find his eldest brother and said, "Brother, please give me some food. A fight is about to break out at that table."
When Zhou's parents saw the situation at that table, they asked Zhou if he wanted more dishes.
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "No, it's enough. It's just that they're scrambling to eat, and the plates are empty so fast. They'll be stuffed in no time."
Mother Zhou put down her bowl and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hawthorn water.
Sure enough, everyone held their stomachs and shouted "Ouch!"
"There's hawthorn juice in the pot in the kitchen. Don't drink too much, or you'll really upset your stomach."
After saying this, Zhou's mother was still worried, so she went into the house to serve them some food.
Each of us drank half a bowl of hawthorn water, and soon our stomachs felt better.
Zhou Xiang gloated over the people who were the most aggressive in grabbing food, "It serves you right! If you don't hurt it, it will hurt you! You brought this pain upon yourselves."
Li Li rubbed her stomach and said, "Next time, I'll eat pickles with rice. I won't fight over food like this. I don't savor the food carefully and just swallow it all."
In the afternoon, everyone returned to the county town. The streets, which were quite bustling in the morning, were now deserted, and a feeling of loneliness arose.
Xue Zhendong looked around and said, "No wonder many people dislike rural towns. They are full of energy in the morning, but lonely as snow in the afternoon. It's so miserable."
Li Li shook her head. "What you saw today was the back market. There were fewer people in the morning. If it were a market day, the streets would be crowded in the morning, but after noon it would be as deserted as it is now. I don't even want to go out in the afternoon. I feel like crying."
Ji Bin waved his hand, as if to drive away the loneliness after the bustle, and sang loudly:
A monk carries water to drink
Hey, pick some water to drink
Hey, pick some water to drink.
Xue Zhendong: Two monks
Lift it up and drink some water
Hey, lift it up, lift it up to drink water
Hey, lift it up, lift it up to drink some water
Wang Shaoming: Three monks have no water to drink
No, no water to drink.
Hey, no, no water to drink.
No, there's no water to drink.
Li Li Zhang Ning: Why do you think this is the case?
Why?
The five people were singing happily when suddenly a figure jumped out and stopped Ji Bin who was striding forward.
"Wait, wait, kids, what are you singing?"
Ji Bin was so scared that he stepped back. Xue Zhendong and Wang Shaoming quickly reached out to hold him up, otherwise he would fall on them if he stepped back any further.
Zhou Xiang was also startled by the figure that suddenly appeared. The person was wearing a floral shirt, pink flared pants, and a pair of brown leather shoes.
Afro, sunglasses, and the standard fashionable look of the 1980s.
With a smile like Grandma Wolf on her face, she said, "Don't be afraid, kids. I'm not a bad person. I just want to know what song you just sang. It's very novel and unique."
The more he laughed, the more afraid Ji Bin became. Xue Zhendong and Wang Shaoming took him back and moved in front of Zhou Xiang and Zhou Chao.
The man saw Zhou Chao and shouted, "Oh my god! It's a ghost!"
Zhou Chao didn't care, but Zhou Xiang was angry. His own people should not be slandered by others at will.
She bent down, picked up a clod of dirt from the ground, and threw it at him, "Get out of here, you playboy, you psychopath."
