The next day, Xiao Ming came very early and Zhou Xiang was still eating!
"Uncle Xiao, have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Zhou wanted to urge Zhu Hang and Liu Hui to eat quickly because he had to go to work.
She quickly finished the porridge in her bowl and stood up. "Let's go!"
He ordered Zhu Hang and Liu Hui to go to the living room on the third floor to take down the packaged curtains. The four of them went to the food station with full hands.
When Liu Hui saw the building, he was stunned. What kind of family is this Zhou family?
Aunt Jiang is obviously an ordinary woman, so the only one who is extraordinary is Zhou Xiang.
Entering the courtyard, Xiao Mingxian was also amazed. "When I came to do the windows, I didn't feel it. I just thought the building was big. Now that it's completely renovated, it's so beautiful."
As Liu Hui stepped into the yard, an idea came to his mind. He wanted to work with Zhou Xiang, even if it was just odd jobs, it would be better than working in a factory in the south.
Zhou Xiang, not knowing that Liu Hui had already decided to rely on her, began to point out the installation location.
Then, she took Liu Hui to button the round-hole buttons. Although Liu Hui was a big man, he was very skillful. Even Zhou Xiang, the designer, could not button as fast as him.
After fastening a pair of curtains, Zhou Xiang anxiously threaded the stainless steel pipe and asked Liu Hui to climb the ladder and hang it up to try.
After hanging it up, Zhou wanted to draw the curtains from below and took a look. He felt relieved when he saw that the one-meter-high fire wall was completely covered.
The fire wall was nearly a foot wider, so she set the distance from the semicircular slot of the curtain rod on the first floor to the 90-degree angle to 35 centimeters. She was afraid that if the distance was too short, the fire wall would protrude and the curtains would not be vertical, which would look ugly.
The curtain rod supports on the second and third floors are set at 25 cm.
Then, Liu Hui was pulled to continue buttoning the round hole buttons. There were more than fifty windows and more than a thousand round hole buttons. Xiao Mingxian and Zhu Hang, who had finished nailing the brackets in the morning, also participated in buttoning the round hole buttons in the afternoon.
At three o'clock, Xiao Mingxian left with his tools. Zhou Xiang and the other two worked until the evening before they finished hanging all the curtains.
Back at Beitou, Zhou Xiang collapsed on the sofa exhausted. "Mom, take your time making the quilt cover! It's best to shrink it first before cutting it. Otherwise, it will lose its shape after washing and look ugly. I won't like it anymore."
"Okay! Now that you've taken care of the curtains, the quilt covers and sheets are easy. How about it? Do they look good when you hang them up?"
"It's definitely better looking than a flat piece of cloth. Come and see it next time!"
"From your tone, it's just average!"
“Average, average, third in the world.”
Before Zhou's mother scolded her, Liu Hui took over the conversation, "Aunt Jiang, Zhou Xiang doesn't like the fabric. Brother Zhu and I think it looks good."
Pig brother? Pervert? Second Brother?
Zhou Xiang laughed out loud.
Zhu Hang's face was dark. Of course he knew why Zhou Xiang laughed, because she had laughed at his last name and mentioned the Pig Brother joke.
"Liu Hui, call me Brother Hang or just call me Zhu Hang. I absolutely don't want to hear you call me that again."
"Okay!" Liu Hui also felt that Brother Zhu was not nice.
"Since it looks good, then all that fabric wasn't wasted," said Zhou's mother.
"Of course. It doesn't look good, so I'll tear it down and put it back. I'd rather have bare windows on the wall."
"I told you you were fat, and you gasped!"
My mother's temper has worsened, and I don't argue with her. Maybe she has reached menopause. My mother is already 44 years old.
Guo Xuehua came out of the kitchen and said, "It's time to eat."
Zhou Xiang immediately stood up and said, "Okay! Clear the table quickly."
Liu Hui was very active. Zhou's mother asked him to take a break and said she could do the housework.
"It's okay, Aunt Jiang, I'm not tired."
If you want to stay and work for Zhou Xiang, you have to perform well.
After dinner, Liu Hui told Zhou Xiang that he wanted to work with her.
Zhou Xiang looked at him strangely, "You're not going out to work? Why are you following me? I'm still a student."
"You can't fool me. Even though you're a student, you took leave without a care in the world. Those two buildings weren't built by ordinary people like Zhu Hang and Aunt Jiang. Let's not talk about the money, just think about those novel ideas. Aren't they your own?"
I saw yesterday when we were making the curtain rods that you have a lot of ideas in your head. If I go out to work, I might end up like this for the rest of my life. I want to follow your lead."
"What if I say I don't like you?"
"I, I can run errands and do odd jobs. Do I need a degree to run errands and do odd jobs?"
"That Guo Xuehua today is also a runner and a handyman. She graduated from junior high school. What about you?"
"I, I studied there for one semester in the first grade of junior high school."
"Why? Since you passed the exam, why don't you just graduate from junior high school?"
“When I entered the first grade of junior high school, I felt like a fool. When I sat in the classroom listening to the lectures, I could understand each word, but I couldn’t understand them when they were put together.
Every day I would look at the teacher's mouth opening and closing like an idiot, and then I dropped out of school."
Zhou Xiang hesitated. The fact that Liu Hui turned over a new leaf and sent Guan Zanfu back was enough to prove that he was not a bad person.
Just because he has a good heart doesn't mean he's suitable to work with her. She has too many secrets and is not suitable for someone to follow her. She is also a person whose background is unknown.
But if she refused him, if he forced her to stay by her side using the favor she owed him, then things would become a little distorted.
"How about this! You just follow me for a few days while you think about what path is right for you. We'll talk about it after the National Day holiday."
Seeing that she didn't refuse outright, Liu Hui felt relieved. He would try his best to stay. "Okay!"
At seven o'clock, Guo Xuehua got off work. A man in his twenties was waiting on the street outside the courtyard. Guo Xuehua walked towards the man happily.
Needless to say, that man must be Guo Xuehua's husband.
Zhou Xiang just took a glance and went back to the house. He was just a stranger.
Zhou wanted to tell her mother that she had offered Guan Zanli an 80 yuan salary. "She didn't want it, but I forced it on her. Her purpose was to earn wages, so I shouldn't give her less. I've already helped Fat Uncle's family, and I won't be involved anymore. I'll take the annual rent for the land if she wants it, and forget it if she doesn't."
"Yes! I know, you've done what you should do. Guan Zanfu is back safely, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. I don't know if Guan Zanxiang can handle things clearly. If she keeps this kind of temper, Ma Zhao will have a hard time in the future."
“No matter what kind of personalities two people have, it takes time for them to get along when they get together.”
"Forget it, never mind, go upstairs! Your second sister can't handle two people by herself."
"I'm not going, you go!"
Hearing the crying upstairs, Zhou's mother hurried upstairs, but her little girl lost her patience again.
On the 30th, it was market day, and Zhou Xiang took Liu Hui shopping. "If you need anything, just buy it. Don't be shy."
Liu Hui shook his head. He hadn't gotten Zhou Xiang to agree to let him stay and work yet! He couldn't spend money recklessly. For now, he had everything he needed. When he got paid, he could buy things with his own money.
Seeing that he didn't want to, Zhou Xiang didn't force him. "Are the markets in your area divided into regular markets and off-season markets? Is it also like this when you go to the market?"
"Yes, the markets everywhere have fixed opening times, similar to here. They basically sell local specialties."
