Zhou Guoqiang made some money from doing business this year, so he set his mind on the wall. The three main rooms, two side houses and one kitchen in his home, as well as a chicken coop and a pigpen, were all exposed without any shelter, which was really not good. When they built the tiled house before, they didn't have enough money to build a wall either. Now that he has some money, his thoughts naturally became more active.

  Ask Little Uncle Zhao Gang to pull two carts of bricks over and invite a few tile workers from the village, then start work on an auspicious day.

  Sun Min's father, Sun Chengwu, has been doing pretty well for himself over the past two years and has become a master mason. He brought several apprentices with him and in just half a month, they built walls and courtyards for the Zhou Xiaoyun family.

  The Zhou family's courtyard with walls immediately became much more majestic, especially the bright red iron gate with a large iron lock that looked particularly impressive.

  Shen Hua Feng was muttering to Zhou Guo Fu at home: "This old second family is now better off than us, look at this tile-roofed house that's only been built for a few years and now they're building a wall around it. I reckon in another year or two they'll be building a bungalow! Or else, we should sue them for the bungalow first!"

  Zhou Guofu initially disagreed, thinking that it was too much trouble to demolish a good tile house and rebuild a bungalow. Besides, he was happy for his brother's good fortune, but really didn't know what women were thinking in their hearts.

  Shen Hua Feng nagged Zhou Guo Fu every day: "The bricks can still be used after being dismantled, just add some cement, sand and stones, and it will be convenient for us to dry grain in the future."

  Zhou Guofu finally nodded in agreement after being persuaded by Shen Huafeng.

  No sooner had Zhou Xiaoxia moved her bed into Zhou Xiaoyun's room than Zhou Zhihai became disgusted.

  Dabao and Xiaobao were in one room, if there was another person it would be too crowded and they wouldn't come over. So they ran to Feng Tiezhu's house and slept with Feng Tiezhu instead.

  Feng Tiezhu naturally raised both hands to welcome, thinking in his heart: From now on, it's even more proper and convenient for him to come to Zhou Xiaoyun's house with Zhou Zhihai! Hehe!

  Sun Chengwu finished building the wall of Zhou Guoqiang's house and didn't even wait a few days before coming to build a flat house for Zhou Guofu's family, jokingly saying: "When will Zhou Lao'er's house also be built with a flat roof? At that time, you'll have to come find me."

  Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao 'Yu' Zhen exchanged a smile, saying in unison: "Of course."

  Look at everyone else's bungalows are being built, isn't our own also a matter of these two years?

  Zhao 'Yu' Zhen was quite annoyed in her heart, and at night after Er Ya fell asleep, she said to Zhou Guoqiang: "He Dads, what do you think is going on with the old family? We just finished building a wall and they immediately started building a bungalow. Isn't this obviously trying to compete with us?"

  Zhou Guoqiang also had a feeling in his heart, but as a man and the head of the family, as well as Zhou Guofu's younger brother, he definitely couldn't be honest with Zhao Yujuan about what was on his mind. So he just casually said: "What's the rush? My older brother's house has been planning to build a bungalow for years, now that we've saved up enough money, it's just right to start construction!"

  Zhao 'Yu' Zhen was still indignant: "How can there be such a coincidence! I think, at this time, it's probably Shen Hua Feng who stirred up trouble. This person has always been fond of comparing herself to others, and if she's not better than others in some way, she won't be satisfied. Look at our house building a wall, she got jealous and built a bungalow, she must surpass us by one step to feel comfortable."

  This makes sense, Zhou Guoqiang nodded: "I've been thinking that this thing is probably the sister-in-law's idea."

  Zhao 'Yu' Zhen excitedly suggested: "Why don't we also build a bungalow? Anyway, we can afford it."

  Also, they say Shen Huafeng loves to compare with others, but she herself is not much stronger than them.

  Zhou Guoqiang firmly disagreed: "No way, if our family builds a bungalow right behind the old house, people will definitely have something to say. Who knows, the villagers might even think that my brother and I are not on good terms and are competing with each other!" This is absolutely out of the question.

  Zhao 'Yu' Zhen said again: "Or we'll build it next year and let the old folks have a good year."

  Zhou Guoqiang was speechless with rage, can this even be discussed in terms of whether to allow it or not?

  He comforted Zhao 'Yu' Zhen: "Covering a flat house is nothing more than having stairs to go up to the roof to dry grain. In the future, if you want to build a building, just add another layer. I think we might as well wait a few years and see if anyone in the village builds a building. If they do, we can skip the flat house and build a building directly."

  Zhao 'Yu' Zhen looked at her husband with new eyes, hmm, he has ambition! She just wanted to build a bungalow, but Zhou Guoqiang was already thinking of building a multi-story house. After all, as the head of the household, a man's aura is different!

  Zhao 'Yu' Zhen thought Zhou Guoqiang's idea was very much in line with her own mind, and she no longer mentioned the bungalow.

  As for why we have to wait until others build their house before building our own, there is a reason for that.

  Who is willing to be the pioneer? Are you not afraid that the villagers will gossip and talk behind your back?

  If everyone shows off that their family has a lot of money, who can feel comfortable in their heart? Although they usually call each other "Second Brother" and "Second Younger Brother" affectionately, like their own brothers, but if one family is obviously much better off than others, those days will be difficult to get through.

  Every time I see you, your tone is so weird and sarcastic, it's really unbearable.

  So, Zhou Guoqiang has to bear with it even if he has the money to build a house. He should wait until the production team leader and the family planning director have built their houses before building his own.

  Zhou Xiaoyun and Zhou Xiaoxia sleeping in the same bed was quite uncomfortable, as they were used to sleeping alone at home. Suddenly having another person there made them feel awkward. Fortunately, it was summer and not winter, so they didn't have to snuggle up in a quilt together, or it would have been even more awkward.

  Zhou Xiaoxia slept very badly, and in the middle of the night, she would often put her arm on Zhou Xiaoyun's body. Just as Zhou Xiaoyun carefully lifted Zhou Xiaoxia's arm away, within five minutes, it would stretch out again.

  Zhou Xiaoyun could only endure and thought that she would be free in two months.

  Unexpectedly, the workers invited by Zhou Guofu were numerous and coincided with good weather, rushing to work day after day. In just one month, they managed to finish building the house. On the surface, Zhou Xiaoyun pretended to be reluctant to leave, but in her heart, she was overjoyed and secretly cheered "Long live!"

  Finally sent this big sister away, oh Amitabha, good, good!

  Shen Hua Feng walked with a spring in her step, beaming with joy as she invited Zhou Guoqiang to join her for a drink, her smile unable to be concealed.

  Zhao 'Yu' Zhen didn't care what she thought in her heart, but on the surface, she had to pretend to be happy and said a bunch of flattering words: "Sister-in-law, congratulations are in order for you guys...

  "There are only a few households in our village that have built bungalows, and they are the Feng family and the Xu Dashi family. You can also be considered as one of the wealthy families. We younger brothers are all happy for you."

  Never mind, good words are loved by everyone, especially the sentence "countable rich families" made Shen Huafeng feel particularly comfortable, and then reminded Zhao 'Yu' Zhen to go to other people's homes early.

  On the day of the wine party, Zhou Guofu invited many guests.

  Shen Huafeng was envious when Zhou Xiaoyun celebrated her birthday last time, and Zhou Guoqiang made a big deal out of it with nearly ten tables. This time, she mustered up the strength to also gather almost ten tables, feeling extremely proud of herself.

  Zhao 'Yu' Zhen and several women sat at a table, someone laughed and mentioned "Everyone has built bungalows, your family will be next, right?" Zhao 'Yu' Zhen responded vaguely, thinking to herself that her family would build a multi-story building.
