"Go apply for unpaid leave! It's only for two years. Then you can spend a lot of money and use connections to get it."
"That's all we can do."
"Go this afternoon! Bring your things with you, and re-register our account. Have the substation come and rewire and replace the meter with a bigger one. This way, we can use more electricity."
"Well! I'll go over there this afternoon and do both things at once. What about lunch for those workers?"
"I'll go to the restaurant and cook a big pot of food for them, buy a pot of rice, and buy a pot of cold noodles. That's enough for them to eat."
"Well, I don't want to do it anymore."
Zhu Hang quickly stood up and said, "I'll go take some food to them later. Sister, take a rest."
"Okay!" Zhou realized that he was afraid of the two little guys upstairs. His mother went out to do something, and Aunt Wang could only deal with one. He and his second sister were scratching their heads when they had to deal with one alone.
"Then I'll make lunch first."
Zhou Xiang looked at his back as he hurried down the stairs and asked, "What happened to him?"
"You weren't home last night, and the two little guys woke up four times. He was scared."
"Mom, are you tired too? They're over a hundred days old now and can start eating solid food. Soak some dried fruit and let them lick some to see if it works."
"Can you do it?"
"I don't know! So I have to try."
"Okay! I'll try it when you're not home."
After Zhu Hang finished making lunch, he took a basket of bowls and chopsticks and three vegetable bowls and went out to make arrangements.
After dinner, Zhou wanted to ask his second sister to help him carry the two little ones upstairs. "After you feed them, go get some sleep!"
"good!"
Zhou Yu yawned, fed the baby and left, which was very similar to Zhu Hang's escape.
Zhou wanted to give each of the two babies two drops of well water, but four drops would have been too long. After giving them the drops, he lay down beside the two babies and took a nap.
Mother Zhou ran around all afternoon and her feet ached from exhaustion. When she saw the two children, one big and two small, sleeping as big as piglets in the room on the second floor, she was filled with envy and jealousy!
Back in the living room on the third floor, Aunt Wang offered her the long sofa and said, "Take a break! You must be exhausted from working so hard every day."
Mother Zhou sat down, took off her shoes, and lay on the sofa. "There's nothing we can do! When there are too many people, there are too many things to deal with. You will be like this in the future."
"Children are debts. You pay them back when they are young, and you pay them back to their children when they grow up."
"Maybe!"
Zhou's mother responded and then fell asleep.
After observing this for several months, Aunt Wang finally understood that every family has its own problems. Even though the Zhou family hired two people to help, they still had a lot of work to do.
Chen Ou’s daughter is very easy to take care of. She cries occasionally, but her voice is very quiet.
It is very easy for Chen Ou and Tang Mei to take care of the child. Xiao Jiang cooks soup for her every day, and Chen Ou can take care of her by running up and down the stairs.
The cries of Zhu Hang's two sons were getting louder and louder, and they probably woke up the neighbors at night.
Zhou Xiang took a nap and felt that his recent fatigue was relieved a lot.
I smuggled some fruit out to eat. I've been so busy lately that I forgot about the fruit in my space, and I haven't taken care of it for a long time.
After finishing the nibble, he put away the core and began to poke the two treasures, "Wake up, lazy pigs."
The two babies didn't react at all, so Zhou Xiang simply pulled over an old bed sheet, put the two babies on it, and then held the four corners of the bed sheet with both hands and carried it up to the third floor.
Zhou Yu saw the old bed sheet in his sister's hand and couldn't help laughing, "Are you packing it?"
"Almost! I've packed it up and sent it to you. I'm going to go see how the plumbing and electrical installation is going."
"Go!"
Zhou Xiang looked at his mother sleeping on the sofa in the living room and felt a little guilty. His mother had been the one working the hardest recently.
It’s almost done. The house will be air-conditioned for three months and we can move in in December. Mom will feel more relaxed when she moves into the new house.
The worried electricians saw Zhou Xiang coming and hurriedly asked her what kind of lights she planned to install.
"All of them need to be tube lights, the long 40-watt kind. Why? Is that what you're worried about?"
"Yeah! We originally planned to wire it according to ordinary tungsten filament lamps, but then we thought that for such a nice building like yours, you would definitely need fluorescent lamps, so we decided to wait until you came."
"The room must be bright, so you should install lights based on the distance. If two tube lights are not bright enough in the living and dining room on the first floor, install three.
All switches are push-button switches, installed within easy reach of the door, so don't worry about wires being wasted. Also, there are two ceiling fans on each floor, so leave the wires for me."
"Okay, okay! I'll lay out the wires right away. Xiaolu, go back to the county and get some more white wires, long tube lights, and push-button switches. We'll work overtime tonight."
Zhou thought that no matter how they did it, he would provide all the labor and materials.
She checked the area where the water pipes were being installed and saw that they had been installed along the skirting board as she had thought. She nodded and praised, "You did a great job."
The worker installing the water pipes laughed and said, "You mentioned this request the last time you came to install the building at the north end."
"Yeah! It's easier to get things done with acquaintances!"
After two days, the water and electricity were all working properly. The water pump pumped water to the water tower. When the faucet was turned, water flowed out. Zhou Xiang even tried to flush the toilet.
Everything was completed, and Zhou wanted to persuade his mother to go and see the new house.
Zhou Yu was also very tempted, and Zhu Hang agreed to take care of the two treasures alone.
So everyone went out, even Chen Ou went along.
Open the four-fold, double-opening door, and you will see a four-meter-wide cobblestone road under your feet. The edge of the cobblestones is blocked by a single row of bricks. At the end of the road is a playroom with a childlike feel through the glass.
Walk east along the cobblestone road, and two roads will split in the middle, leading to the north and south buildings.
The entire yard is divided into four parts by a cross-shaped cobblestone road, and the two parts on the north side are built with 50-centimeter-high flower beds.
The two blocks on the south side were simply built with bricks driven into the earth, with the corners facing upwards, forming a fence.
The red brick exterior wall looks as if it has been carefully selected. Each brick is neat and has no missing corners, and the gaps between the bricks are filled with smooth cement strips.
Looking upwards, you can see the eaves of the first floor, and above the eaves are the glass windows on the second and third floors reflecting the sunlight.
The courtyard alone exudes an extraordinary tranquility and elegance.
Aunt Wang took only one look and exclaimed, "Oh my! Is this a fairyland?"
Zhou's mother finally understood why her little girl spent a lot of money on aluminum alloy windows and stainless steel security doors.
You get what you pay for. If such a beautifully designed building had wooden doors and windows, it would look bulky and low-class.
Push open the double stainless steel doors of the north building, and on the left are the children's room and storage room.
There are two platforms built against the wall of the storage room, and there are also two wooden shelves.
Half of the children's room is covered with tatami mats and the other half is covered with carpet.
There is a staircase on the right side of the gate, and to the north of the staircase is the bathroom door, which faces south towards the staircase.
There is another door inside the washroom, which is the door to the toilet. The space is large, so Zhou wants to separate the washroom and toilet.
The middle space is the large living room, and the east wall, which is also the wall of the bathroom, has a TV cabinet.
There is a set of three-person sofas under the windows on the north wall, and three-person and two-person sofas on the west wall near the door of the storage room.
