Zhou Andong nodded and didn't ask anymore. Let them toss about themselves; he just needed to keep an eye on the general direction.

"Did Wu Cheng go to buy machines alone?"

"No!" Zhou Anbei squatted down and helped Zhou Andong install the electric fan, "Uncle Gao and several carpenters went too. Only they know what machines can be used.

Another thing is to take them to see furniture styles. After coming back, combine them with the renovated storefront to build furniture. We must achieve perfection and not waste a bit of space."

Zhou Andong smiled: "Have you thought of a name?"

Zhou Anbei said distressingly: "No, we thought for several days and couldn't think of one. Let's discuss it after Brother Wu comes back."

Zhou Andong thought for a moment: "Let's call it 365 Home Furnishings. There are 365 days in a year, a beautiful life, accompanied every day."

Zhou Anbei's eyes lit up: "This is good."

After installing one fan, Zhou Andong plugged it in, and the electric fan hummed and turned. Because it was too high, the little girl couldn't blow it, so she crawled onto the kang with her little butt sticking out.

The wind swept over, and the excited little girl screamed, jumping and hopping.

"So cool, so cool."

Zhou Andong smiled and started to install the second one: "After Wu Cheng comes back, let him go to the bus company to talk about advertising."

Zhou Anbei was stunned: "Go to the bus company to talk about advertising?"

"Yes!" Zhou Andong said: "Every bus must have the advertisement of 365 Home Furnishings, a beautiful life, accompanied every day. Don't be afraid of spending money. I guess it won't cost much money. When the time comes, you should also follow and learn. That kid is quite capable in negotiation."

"Okay!" Zhou Anbei nodded and agreed.

Zhou Xiaoxin leaned against the quilt roll, his face full of satisfaction: "Electric fans are really good. The sweat dissipated in a while, and it feels much more comfortable. You don't need your mother to wipe my body several times a day."

Zhou Andong said: "Dad, at the end of the year, I'll take you to Fengjing for medical treatment, buy a better wheelchair, take you to see the Forbidden City, walk around inside, and see what the place where the emperor lived looks like."

Zhou Xiaoxin smiled. In the past half year, the changes in the family made him feel like he was dreaming. His son became the winery director, neighbors often came to visit, and even the village secretary and village head came to see from time to time, asking if there were any difficulties. This was something he couldn't even imagine before.

Zhou Andong continued: "Our factory acquired a real estate development company and is preparing to build buildings, still thirty-story elevator buildings. When the time comes, our whole family will move to the city to live. Even if your injury can't be cured, my mother can push you, take the elevator downstairs, walk around the park, and breathe fresh air, instead of being stuffy at home all the time, thinking about this and that."

"Okay!" Zhou Xiaoxin said happily: "I'll just wait to live in an elevator building."

Life is getting better and better now, not lacking food or clothing, and even less lacking money to spend. His heart is full of hope for the future. Unlike before, the atmosphere of the whole family made him breathless, thinking that he was dragging down the family, and he had thought about suicide more than once.

"Alright!" Zhou Andong installed the second fan, "Xiaobei, come with me to send the electric fan to Grandpa."

Zhou Anbei hugged the electric fan and followed Zhou Andong out of the room.

"Brother, Zhou Anbin is in Tiebei Prison. Old Uncle said he would go see him in two days, and Eldest Aunt and Old Aunt are also going. Do you think our family should go?"

Zhou Andong said: "Don't go. In the future, whatever happens in their family, don't get involved."

"Yes!" Zhou Anbei said: "That's what I think too. Don't bother with their family in the future."

Zhou Andong smiled and rubbed Zhou Anbei's head: "In front of outsiders, you should still call them Uncle and Aunt, but don't even think about asking us to do things for you. That family of theirs, if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile. Stay away from them."

The two arrived at Grandpa's door and heard Zhao Guifen's voice coming from the room.

"Mom, your eldest grandson was sentenced to seven years. Eating and drinking inside all cost money, and usually, you have to give the leaders 'bullets' (red envelopes). Some time ago, he was cheated out of ten thousand by that little brat Zhou Andong. Our family really can't take out any money, so you have to take out some."

The old lady sighed: "How much do you want?"

Zhao Guifen said: "At least give me some first, and when I finish using it, I'll ask you for more."

The old lady hesitated and said: "Your father and I only have three thousand or so in our hands, no more."

Zhao Guifen said: "How much is how much, give it to me first. When we sell grain in the autumn harvest this year, make up the rest for me."

Zhou Andong listened in the courtyard, sneered, and whispered to Zhou Anbei: "You go hide in the side room."

Zhou Anbei didn't know what he was going to do, but he nodded, hugged the electric fan, and tiptoed into the side room.

Zhou Andong squeezed his tears hard. His eyelashes were almost broken, but he couldn't squeeze them out, so he could only howl: "Grandma!"

Zhao Guifen's face changed when she heard it was Zhou Andong's voice. She cursed fiercely in her heart, why did this little brat come back.

Seeing Zhou Andong crying as he entered, the old lady was frightened and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

"My dad's waist hurts terribly, and he has to go to the hospital immediately, but there is no money at home. You give me three or four thousand first."

After finishing, Zhou Andong said another sentence in his heart: Dad, I'm sorry, it's really that your eldest sister-in-law is not a thing, running to the old lady to cheat money again.

"Ah?" The old lady was also anxious, "I'll go get you money right now."

Zhao Guifen was also anxious: "Mom, don't listen to his nonsense. Second Brother was fine this morning, why did his waist suddenly hurt? He must be lying to you. Besides, he also cheated me out of ten thousand yuan, how could he have no money."

Zhou Andong said angrily: "In order to save your son's head, I had to find someone to find a relationship. That money was borrowed. Don't I have to pay back the ten thousand you gave me?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old lady got off the kang and rummaged through boxes and cabinets to take out a red cloth bag. No matter how much she felt sorry for her eldest grandson, her second son's health was more important.

Opening the red cloth bag with three layers inside and three layers outside, there were ten-yuan bills: "Dongzi, this is three thousand two, is it enough?"

"Almost!" Zhou Andong grabbed it, "I'm leaving first. I'll pay you back when I have money."

After finishing, Zhou Andong turned and walked out, then flashed into the side room.

"Mom, you are confused." Zhao Guifen was almost crazy with anger. The money was about to be in her hands, but it was intercepted by Zhou Andong. How could she be reconciled, "I'll go see Second Brother to see if he is really sick."

After finishing, she ran out angrily, running all the way to the alley entrance without seeing Zhou Andong's shadow, and was so angry that she cursed again.

"This little bastard, he runs quite fast."
