Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

However, my grandfather's yard can be used to accommodate the first batch of graduates.

They are responsible for assisting Long Er and Long Wu in managing the black market business, so naturally they cannot all live together.

Otherwise, if something really happens, everyone will be blamed.

Zhou Jin was silently thinking in his mind how to better utilize the resources he now had to bring himself more talents and benefits.

After taking care of Grandpa Jin's yard, Zhou Jin rode his bicycle back to the Lou family mansion.

At this time, the Lou family mansion seemed particularly quiet, and the sunlight shining in the yard gave people a warm and peaceful feeling.

Zhou Jin walked into the living room and did not see Lou Xiaoe. Instead, she saw Yu Shui and Xiao Jiu tutoring Zhou Xin. Their faces were filled with seriousness and concentration.

Then Zhou Jin came to the bedroom. Lou Xiao'e was still sleeping. At this time, Zhou Jin caught a glimpse of the packages in the bedroom. It seemed that Lou Xiao'e was tired from packing things in the afternoon.

Seeing this, Zhou Jin suddenly thought of something. He walked out of the bedroom and began to check each room. As expected, he found a lot of things.

Although these things are not as good as those in the basement, they can still be a big trouble if used by someone with ulterior motives.

Therefore, Zhou Jin thought that before leaving tomorrow, he should clean up the Lou Mansion completely to make sure it was just like his grandparents' yard, with nothing else except the main structure of the house.

Afterwards, Zhou Jin returned to the bedroom again. He had been busy all day and didn't feel anything at first, but when he saw his wife sleeping, he couldn't help feeling a little sleepy.

In order not to disturb Lou Xiao'e, Zhou Jin simply took a nap on the sofa in the living room.

Perhaps because his family was around him, Zhou Jin slept very peacefully.

He seemed to have entered a peaceful world, without the noise and disturbance of the outside world.

He slept until seven o'clock and was finally woken up by Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhou Jin tenderly, her eyes full of concern: "Why did you fall asleep on the sofa? You must be exhausted."

Zhou Jin sat up, stretched, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy. Seeing you sleeping so soundly, I couldn't help but sleep for a while."

Their eyes met, filled with warmth and love.

Today is our last night here. The night breeze blows gently, bringing with it a hint of sadness.

After dinner, no one felt like going to sleep. The sadness of parting seemed to still linger in their hearts, making it difficult for them to calm down.

So Zhou Jin got up and went to the kitchen to prepare some snacks for everyone.

Zhou Jin got up and walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and began to look for ingredients in the cupboard.

First, he found some flour, eggs and sugar. Zhou Jin skillfully poured the flour into a large bowl, then beat in a few eggs and added the right amount of sugar.

Then, he quickly stirred the ingredients with chopsticks to mix them thoroughly. After a while, a smooth batter was ready.

Zhou Jin took out another pan from the cupboard, put it on the stove, and turned on the fire. When the pan was hot, he poured a little oil into it and spread the oil evenly over the bottom of the pan.

Then he scooped a spoonful of batter with a spoon and gently poured it into the pan, where the batter quickly spread out in the pan and formed a round pancake.

Zhou Jin carefully controlled the heat and slowly fried the pancake until it turned golden brown. When one side was done, he gently turned the pancake over with a spatula and continued to fry the other side.

After a while, a fragrant egg pancake was ready. Zhou Jin also made some other snacks, such as fried peanuts and roasted sweet potato chips.

His movements were skillful and quick, and every step was filled with love and care for his family.

While making snacks, Zhou Jin's thoughts drifted far away. He thought of Lou Bancheng and his friends' journey, wondering where they were now and whether everything was going well.

At the same time, he is also planning for his future life, thinking about how to better take care of his family and contribute to the country.

After a busy period, plates of delicious snacks were finally ready.

Zhou Jin carried these snacks out of the kitchen and came to the living room. When everyone saw the snacks in Zhou Jin's hand, they all showed surprise on their faces.

The delicious smell filled the air, making people salivate. Zhou Jin placed the snacks on the table, and everyone sat around and began to taste the delicacies.

At that moment, the sadness of parting seemed to be diluted a little by these delicious snacks, and the living room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

Everyone sat around in the living room. The lighting was soft and the atmosphere was warm yet a little heavy.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhou Jin, her eyes full of worry: "Husband, it's been almost a day. Where are Dad, Mom, Grandpa and Grandma? Have they eaten and rested?"

Zhou Jin held Lou Xiao'e's hand and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, they are commissioned by the government to go to Hong Kong to purchase food and industrial equipment for the country. There will be no problem, and Hua Yi and the others are here."

Zhou Xin blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Brother, grandparents, uncle and aunt, why do they have to go to such a far place?"

He Yushui also echoed, "Yes, Brother Zhou Jin, Uncle Lou told me that they need to take a three or four-day train ride and a boat to get there. How far is that?"

Because He Yushui was about to take the high school entrance exam and Zhou Xin was still young and had to go to school every day, Zhou Jin had never told them about this.

So far they only know that Lou Bancheng and the others have left, but they don’t know why they left.

Zhou Jin hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Now our country is blocked by Western countries, and many advanced equipment cannot be purchased at all, and now the food problem outside is getting more and more serious.

So, your uncle Lou discussed with the country and asked them to go out and purchase the necessary equipment and food for the country to relieve the domestic pressure. Do you understand my explanation, Yushui, Xinxin? "

After all, He Yushui was almost fifteen years old, and she was sensible at an early age. She knew more or less about the situation outside and could understand Zhou Jin's explanation.

Zhou Xin was indeed too young, and she didn't understand anything about the national level. Zhou Jin could tell from Zhou Xin's expression.

So Zhou Jin changed his explanation to something more understandable: "Xinxin, many people out there are hungry right now, and Uncle Lou went to buy food for them, so that everyone can have enough to eat. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhou Xin nodded vigorously. "Good job, our Xinxin is really smart, you must study hard, and when you grow up, you must fight for the country like Uncle Lou."
