Zhou Xiang could only find a public phone booth and call Zhou Yizhou for help, "Brother Zhou, please come to the department store! They won't sell anything to me."
Zhou Yizhou burst out laughing, "Did you buy too much again? People don't believe you?"
"Yes! Come quickly! Take me back and I'll give you a jar of salted eggs as travel expenses."
"Okay, wait, I'll be there soon."
When Zhou Yizhou got out of the car, he saw Zhou Xiang squatting on the ground counting ants. "What? Are you so bored that you're counting ants?"
"Yeah! I suddenly realized that I'm still growing too slowly. I can only do what I should do at my age."
"Come on! Counting ants is something children do. You're old."
"You're old!"
Zhou Yizhou nodded, "Yeah! I'm almost 30, I'm old."
The two of them joked around as they walked into the department store. The cloth salesperson was a little unhappy to see the little girl coming back. "I was just criticized by the manager. He said I trust people too easily."
"Sister, this time, I've called an adult. Please make another trip. If you can get the deal done, the manager will praise you."
"Okay! I'll make another run!"
"Thank you, sister."
The manager came out with a sullen face, "Little girl, could you please stop making trouble? I'm busy!"
Seeing his attitude towards Zhou Xiang, Zhou Yizhou immediately defended him, "Oh my! What is the manager busy with? He doesn't even want to do business."
The manager then noticed Zhou Yizhou behind Zhou Xiang and asked, "Zhou, Director Zhou, are you here to buy goods?"
Zhou Yizhou pointed and said, "This is my little sister. You guys didn't want to sell the goods to her, so she had no choice but to come to me."
The manager nodded and said, "Sell, sell, it's just that the quantity is large, I thought it was a joke."
"Okay, stop explaining and get the goods. Little sister, what do you want? Tell him."
"I did."
The manager nodded and said, "Let's go straight to the warehouse! We don't have any whole pieces of cloth here."
Zhou Yizhou waved his hand and said, "Lead the way."
The manager hurried ahead, and Zhou Xiang whispered, "Big brother is still so powerful. Uncle Zhou's power is still useful!"
"Haha, you used it like this?"
"Hehehe."
In the warehouse, the patterns were easy to choose. Zhou Xiang gave some instructions and the manager pulled them out for him.
Zhou Yizhou saw her nodding non-stop and quickly asked, "Why are you buying so much?"
"To make curtains and quilt covers!"
"You used so much?"
"It's okay to have more."
Zhou Yizhou finally understood why the manager didn't believe that she was really buying anything.
Even a small vendor wouldn't buy 100 pieces of cloth at one time.
Khaki cloth cost 40 cents a foot, cotton cloth cost 30 cents a foot, and 100 pieces of cloth cost more than 1,000 yuan.
Zhou Yizhou drove her to the market town. When Zhou's mother saw that her little girl had been out for a long time and brought back 100 pieces of cloth, she raised her hand to pat her.
Zhou wanted to dodge quickly, "What?"
"What are you doing? Are you bringing these back just for decoration?"
"No, I make curtains and quilt covers."
"You think I'm idle?"
Zhou Xiang frowned, "Then should I take him to a tailor shop?"
Zhou's mother lowered her arms. "Oh my!" she was so angry. With so much cloth, how much processing fees would the tailor shop have to pay? They might even cut corners and embezzle their own cloth. "Forget it, leave it here and let me work on it slowly!"
Zhou Xiang felt that his mother's temper was getting worse and worse, "How about finding another old maid?"
"No, please don't look for me anymore. I've seen it, I'm not destined to enjoy a life of luxury. The more helpers you find, the busier I'll be. Forget it, let it be!"
Aunt Wang looked at the pile of cloth and said enviously, "You are so ungrateful. I bought you so much cloth and you are still angry."
"Can't you see how much of a loser she is?"
“You can only earn if you know how to spend!”
Zhou Xiang also nodded, "Yes! Aunt Wang's words are the truth!"
Zhou's mother came downstairs and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. One of you treats money as if it's nothing, and the other doesn't spend her money, yet you don't feel bad about it."
Zhou Xiang and Aunt Wang looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes.
Zhou wanted to chase him downstairs, "Mom, don't bother, I'll take Brother Zhou to eat cold noodles."
"Okay! Ichizhou hasn't tasted it yet!"
Zhou Yizhou saw the pavilion of the Liangpi (cold noodle) stall and asked with a smile, "Did you set up this place?"
"No, it belongs to an uncle. The pavilion was demolished and given to his family."
"Aunt Guan, give me three bowls of cold noodles."
"good!"
Aunt Guan mixed the cold noodles and brought them over. She sat next to Zhou Xiang and asked, "Why aren't you having lunch at home?"
"I just came back and brought some friends here to try your cooking. This is my eldest brother, his last name is also Zhou."
Zhou Yizhou swallowed the cold noodles in his mouth and said, "Hello, Aunt Guan!"
"Okay, okay!" Aunt Guan said yes repeatedly, then sighed, "Brother Guan! You're so impatient. You went to the south alone. I don't know what's going on with you."
"Did you really go? Aunt Guan, I'm sorry, this is my fault."
Aunt Guan shook her head. "I don't blame you. I understand your kindness in taking care of our family. He has a burning desire in his heart, and sooner or later he'll have to go out and try his luck. At least, you've shown him a way forward. If it weren't for this, he'd be groping in the dark."
"Aunt Guan, don't worry, Brother Guan is a lucky man and will come back safely."
"I hope so."
Zhou Yizhou not only moved a jar of salted eggs, but also took away the household registration books of the Zhou family and Zhu Hang, as well as the two licenses and Zhu Hang's house purchase certificate.
Zhou Yizhou specifically asked who the household owner was, and he said, "There are six apartments in my family, and each of us has one. The title to the first floor is in Jiang Weihui's name. Of course, Zhu Hang's is his."
"If this happens, it will be difficult to buy and sell houses in the future."
"No, this house is for my parents to use for their retirement."
Zhou Yizhou was a bit embarrassed. "I don't know if it can be done. If it's difficult, and I can only get one property deed for each building, whose name are you going to put in the deed?"
Zhou's mother said, "The north building is named after Zhou Niao, and the south building is named after me."
Zhou Xiang also nodded, "If we can only get two property deeds, I'll write them for my mother and my eldest brother."
Zhou Xiangxiang followed Zhou Yizhou back by car, but was detained by Zhou's mother. "I have something to tell you. You can take the car back by yourself later."
After seeing Zhou Yizhou off, Zhou's mother pulled Zhou Xiang into the room on the second floor.
"Think about it, you won't blame mom, right?"
"About the property deed?"
Mother Zhou nodded, "Yes."
"No, my third brother and I are underage, so getting a property deed is a luxury. I'm just trying to see if I can use my power to get it done. Besides, our house is a private building, so there's usually only one property deed. At most, like Zhou Yizhou said, one per building. If I write it on my eldest brother, we won't have to bother with it anymore. If I write it on you, we can prevent the Zhou family from causing trouble.
When Third Brother comes of age, you can transfer the property to his name. As for my extravagant hope of having one copy for each person, if that's not possible, then we can just write an agreement. The six of us can sit together and write an agreement, certifying that each person has the right to live in one apartment, while the right to buy and sell remains with the owner. That'll be enough."
"But, you earned all this."
