After working hard for about half a month, Lao Zhou's three-story teahouse was finally completed.

Mr. Liu stood at the side of the path with his hands on his hips, his eyes never leaving the small teahouse.

He dared to say that this building was the proudest work of his life.

The four corners face the sky, the gauze curtains hang low, and the pavilions, towers, ponds and waterside pavilions are all hidden in the flower beds. Once the flowers bloom, it will be even more exquisite and beautiful!

Smacking the welding smoke, he quietly admired the teahouse and Lianglin Village in the sunset.

After bothering you for several days, I feel really embarrassed to stay here any longer.

"Have everything been packed?"

"Boss, everything is ready. When are we leaving?"

"Wait for me to say hello to the old lady of the Zhou family."

Mr. Liu knocked the welding cigarette in his hand and put it on his belt, then walked into Lao Zhou's yard.

"Sister, we have packed our things and are going back soon. If you need anything else in the future, just let me know."

"Okay, okay, don't leave in such a hurry. I have too many leftovers here. If you don't mind, just take two buckets back."

When Mr. Liu heard that Old Lady Zhou was going to give him leftovers, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll wait."

As soon as the teahouse was completed today, the Zhou family held a banquet to entertain them and the neighbors who came to help.

There are still a lot of dishes on the table that have not been eaten. It would be a pity to throw them away. If anyone wants them, just take some and go home and add some vegetables to make another delicious dish.

Mr. Liu had a bulging bag of silver in his arms, and his hands were not idle. He came back with two large buckets of leftovers.

"Boss, what are you carrying?"

"Take a good look."

"Wow, roast chicken and pork elbow? Is this... a gift from someone?"

"Hahaha, don't rush home tonight. Let's settle our wages and have a couple of drinks together, brothers."

"Okay~~"

Old Mrs. Zhou and several of her children sent them to the village entrance. Liu, the head of the family, got on the carriage and went home with his brothers facing the sunset.

"It's settled. All the important things are done. I feel relieved now."

Old Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly home with her hands behind her back.

"Grandma, the big things are done, but there are still some small things in the shop that need to be taken care of. I have drawn some blueprints here, and we need to buy more tables, chairs, cabinets and so on."

"Haha, okay. Tomorrow I'll ask your uncle to invite the carpenter from town. Tell him in advance what style you want."

"Yeah, my second sister and I are just cleaning the teahouse inside and out."

"Okay, just do whatever you want. You two have always been very worry-free for me, so I won't worry about it."

Zhou Mingqi and Zhou Mingshu looked at each other, their eyes filled with smiles.

After a simple tidying up of the house, a few people took a donkey cart to the restaurant.

After Liu Dadang and his group left, they no longer had to prepare meals and had to go to the restaurant for dinner.

The family hadn't sat together to eat for a long time. When the two of them came, everyone was very happy.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhu even clamored for two more dishes.

"Mother, don't work so hard. We ate too much this morning and we're not hungry yet."

"Yes, we still have a lot of food left. Bring it over. Let's add some greens and stew it. It will be enough for dinner."

"Haha, that's fine. You girls don't want to eat the new dishes you cooked, but you're enjoying the leftovers."

"Hey, leftovers have a richer flavor, and it doesn't waste anything."

Zhou Mingshu and his friends were busy preparing the stew for the evening, while Old Lady Zhou went to the backyard to find her sons and asked them to find out about the good carpenters in the town. They could ask whoever had good skills to come and make some decent furniture cabinets.

"Haha, mother, Youcai was still talking about this matter today, saying that he wanted to buy new furniture for his son Dashan and get him married. We can ask him about this, he has someone he knows."

"Hahaha, that's great. We're going to buy new furniture anyway, so we can take this opportunity to replace the broken bed boards, wardrobes, etc. at home, and fill in the gaps."

"Okay, let's go to town and ask tomorrow."

"I'll leave this matter to you guys. It's never too late to do it sooner rather than later."

"I know, I know~"

Because we need to buy new furniture at home, any missing items in the children's rooms can be reported and replaced.

There were new demands in every door and room, and the yard was bustling with activity.

Zhou Mingqin came over carrying a large wooden basin with a hole bitten by rats. She hoped to patch it up with a new board.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Mingshu noticed that something was wrong with her expression.

"It's okay. Maybe the basin is too heavy. It's a bit hard for me to carry it for such a long distance."

Zhou Mingshu took the basin and asked her to sit down and drink a few sips of tea to relax.

After a while, seeing that her face was still a little pale, Zhou Mingshu touched his elder sister's forehead worriedly.

"Sister, you don't have a fever. What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know. I can't explain why. I just feel a little depressed."

Zhou Mingqin has been feeling unwell recently, but she feels that she is too young to get seriously ill, so she has been insisting on working. She is the eldest sister, and she has to set a good example for her younger brothers and sisters, and she doesn't want to slack off at all.

"Sister, how long have you been like this?"

"It seems like it's been a while. I didn't pay much attention."

Zhou Mingshu thought about it and immediately had the answer in her mind, but she did not say it out loud. Instead, she hitched a carriage and planned to take her to the town to check Uncle Chen's pulse.

"Come on, we have nothing to do, let's go see Uncle Chen. What if it gets serious? As the saying goes, 'disease comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like pulling a thread.' Let's go see Uncle Chen as soon as possible before it's too serious."

Zhou Mingqin thought about it for a moment, felt that it was right, and agreed.

"That's fine, but I'm sorry to make you worry about it."

Zhou Mingqin looked quite guilty. She had made her family worry about her again.

"Sister, it's nothing. We all grew up eating whole grains, so it's impossible for us to not have any illnesses. Besides, feeling unwell isn't necessarily a bad thing."

"Ah? Could it be a good thing?"

Hearing her say this, Zhou Mingqi looked puzzled.

"Hahaha, I was just talking nonsense. We'll know after we feel his pulse."

Zhou Mingshu sat in the front and drove the car, while his two sisters sat on the cushions in the car and talked.

Because she guessed that her elder sister was pregnant, she didn't drive fast.

"We haven't been to town for a long time. After we check the pulse, let's go for a stroll and see if there's anything we like on the street that we can buy."

"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say this."

The three sisters first went to the Chen family's Baicaotang and sat for a while. Then Uncle Chen and Sister Banxia came over to take their pulses after they finished taking care of other patients.
