After Zhou Dajiang saw off Manager Chen and returned home, the children had already started their lessons with Master Chen.

Zhou Sisi, whose studies were progressing quickly, didn't attend class with the others. She was currently working on her first art book with Chen's mother. She had finished the last page yesterday and was ready to be published in the bookstore.

Chen's mother was a little dissatisfied with her pen name. "Isn't 'Xingxiu Laoxian' a bit too unpleasant? Why don't you change it? After all, this is a children's book. If you use an old man's name, people won't like it."

"Then change it to 'Little Red Riding Hood'!" Zhou Sisi said casually.

'Little Red Riding Hood' and 'Grandma Wolf', um, what a perfect match! The more I think about it, the better this pen name seems!

Grandma Chen had no idea her unfortunate child had nicknamed her 'Wolf Grandma'. She pondered for a moment, nodded, and praised, "Sisi, that's a great name! Lively and energetic!"

Zhou Sisi also nodded vigorously. Right? Right? She thought so too!

As soon as Zhou Dajiang saw his daughter's face, she looked like she was asking for a beating, and he knew she was up to something! He didn't point it out, but waited until her mother knew that she had named her grandmother "Wolf Grandma" and that she would suffer the consequences. Then he would not interfere.

Mother Chen said, "Now that the painting is finished, Dajiang, come with me to the capital tomorrow. I'm going to meet an old friend, and we'll take care of Sisi's matter."

Zhou Dajiang nodded: "Okay, mother-in-law."

Then he asked his mother-in-law, "The child is free right now, so I need to borrow her for a while. I want her to help me draw a picture, is that okay?"

Mother Chen still looked down at the album and waved her hand: "Go!"

Zhou Sisi felt that her father had come with bad intentions, and was probably here to settle the score with her that happened that morning.

She shrank her neck, stared at her father, and refused to leave, saying, "What picture? Just tell me, and I'll draw it right here!"

Zhou Dajiang also looked at her, "You're drawing here, don't you want me to sharpen your pencil for you?"

"No, no! I'm already very skilled at drawing lines with this fine brush."

Zhou Sisi's plan was very simple, that was to resolutely not leave 'Grandma Wolf', no, Grandma Chen.

The father and son exchanged glances in the air. Zhou Sisi was fearless, while Zhou Dajiang was timid in front of his mother-in-law.

In the end, Zhou Dajiang ended up failing.

"Okay, we can draw in this room. Bring out some paper and I'll give you a rough idea of ​​what I want. You can imagine it and draw it. I'll mark the dimensions later."

So Zhou Dajiang let his mother-in-law see his style as an engineering designer back then.

He eloquently summarized the content, including what kind of thing I need, how many parts it should consist of, what its function is, what its characteristics are, what groups we are targeting, and what conditions your drawing should meet...

He spouted off a barrage of theories, leaving Zhou Sisi completely bewildered. "You've been talking for so long, and none of your words are useful. How on earth am I supposed to draw this? You just told me to use my imagination. I can figure it out!"

Chen's mother was also confused. What the hell is he talking about? I'm really old, how come I can't understand a word?

Zhou Dajiang, reprising his previous Party A attitude, delivered a pretentious speech, effectively turning his "battle mentality" into a "confused mentality." Only then did he feel a bit relieved. "You little brat, you want to fight me? After all, your father is your father!"

Then, he left a message saying, "These are roughly the requirements. Take your time drawing and give it to me when you're done. There's no rush." ​​and then walked out.

He was still pretending to be in a hurry! Zhou Sisi was so angry that she wanted to scratch the wall.

On the other side, after Zhou Dajiang left the house, he went directly to the construction site.

The timber at the site has been inspected and accepted, and Wu Chunsheng was about to go find Zhou Dajiang.

Seeing him coming, he quickly asked, "When is the auspicious day to start work?"

"Three days later, July 28th." Zhou Dajiang replied.

"Okay then. I'll get the workers here early in the morning three days later. We'll dig the well and the foundation at the same time. That way it'll be faster."

Wu Chunsheng is very familiar with building houses, so he knows exactly how to save time.

Zhou Dajiang bowed to Wu Chunsheng and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wu, for your help."

In the evening, Zhou Dahe came back just in time for dinner, baring his two rows of white teeth as he entered the room. "Didn't you expect it? I finished a hundred sets a day early! Isn't that impressive?"

Zhou Dajiang was also very happy to see him back.

Work officially began three days later, but there was still one pot missing. He had originally thought of waiting for Zhou Dahe to finish making the 100 sets before asking him to come and get one. If he ran out of time, he could just use the pots at home for a day. But in the end, he delivered it to his door himself. How could he not be happy?

Zhou Dajiang was afraid that telling the truth would scare him away again, so he said with a smile: "You are getting more and more skilled. You snatched the job a day in advance. Amazing!

Come sit down and eat, and when you’re done, I’ll tell you something good.”

Zhou Dahe was surprised to hear this. Could it be another round of money? "Great, great!" he ate several large bowls of the food happily.

Seeing his third brother bring back another hundred sets, Zhou Dahai went to Tian the carpenter's house after dinner and took back a hundred sets of handles without waiting for Zhou Dajiang's arrangements. While there were more people, the more work could be done.

After finishing his meal, Zhou Dahe happily approached his second brother and said, "Second brother, what was that good news you just mentioned? Are you going to give everyone money again?"

This time it was Zhou Dajiang's turn to grin. "The good thing is, the auspicious day for the construction is scheduled for three days from now. Before then, you just need to return the iron pot to me!"

"Me, the good thing you said is that you want me to make another big iron pot?" Zhou Dahe widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Yes! Isn't this a good thing? Giving you one more day, isn't this a good thing?"

Zhou Dahe's heart, which was originally filled with joy and excitement, was suddenly pounded into the ground by Zhou Dajiang's iron pot.

He expressed his frustration, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come back. Is there any medicine to regret this? I want to take it!"

No one paid any attention to him, so he had to seek comfort from his wife. Mrs. Li couldn't do anything about him and patted his shoulder, "My husband is the best! It's not a big deal? It's a piece of cake! We can get it done in two days instead of three, right?"

Zhou Dahe, it seems that he was not comforted, but the time became even shorter?

Zhou's mother was always the one who made the final decision. She just stood there and glanced at him, "Are you okay? If not, don't delay our work!"

Zhou Dahe immediately fell silent and slipped away, going to Zhou Dahai to do the assembly, and his opinions were naturally dispelled.

Inside the room, the Rocket Literacy Class was in full swing.

Zhou Dajiang was sent aside to write an essay, while Master Chen stood in front, leading his daughter and granddaughter to continue studying the Thousand Character Classic. However, he explained it in more detail than Zhou Dajiang, so the progress was slower.

Chen Xiuying was anxious to get rid of the label of being illiterate, so she discussed with her father, "Dad, can you hurry up? We already know all these.

We're not taking the imperial examinations, so there's no need to go into such detail. Just being able to read, write, and understand storybooks is all that's needed. Otherwise, if I, your daughter, bear the title of a scholar and a public servant, still can't read many words when asked, it would be such a disgrace to you!

How about this: you teach us to read, write each word once and explain its meaning once, and then we can practice reciting and writing it by ourselves. How about teaching us 100 words a day?"

Master Chen was so angry that he fell backwards. The speed of this rocket was not enough. His daughter was about to fly into the sky!

So what, no matter what!
