Chapter 37
The environment of the No. 2 courtyard was worse than expected. There were rat holes everywhere on the base of the house. A hedgehog even emerged from the waist-high weeds, which scared everyone to avoid them. After the earthquake a few years ago, the main structure of the house was also damaged to a considerable extent. The widest cracks in the diameter of the pickaxe were left on all sides of the gables. Xu's father shook his head while walking, "Little little, if you really plan to live in this house, you have to repair it thoroughly, and it will probably be difficult this year."
"Uncle Xu, isn't it? Just a few houses, will it take half a year?"
"What do you know?" Xu Yunjian relied on working in the construction team for a while, and now he looked like an expert's face. "Look at the roof, the ridges are crooked, and they have to remove the tiles on it and repaint them. After a few days, it will be difficult to work in July - why do you know? It's raining! It's sb? You don't understand this."
Lu Li was very hated, but he had no choice but to know anything about these things. He could only listen to his swearing voice and glared at Xu Yunjian, "Uncle Xu, is what he said true?"
"Don't pay attention to him, but the roof really has to go up and see. Your roof is a cable-stayed roof, and you have to tiles to get it off one by one, then brush the asphalt and lay the linoleum. Otherwise, it will leak when it rains. How can you stay?"
"Okay, I'll leave everything to you anyway. You'll calculate it for me, how much does it cost?"
"Didn't you tell me? I have to bring someone to see where I need to move, and then calculate the money for you."
"Okay, hurry up."
"I didn't say anything." Dad Xu walked around the courtyard for a few times and nodded with satisfaction, "No, really good. Xiaoxiao, don't look at the house that needs to be overhauled. But when it is repaired, it's definitely a good guy! Look at this courtyard, it's more than 60 square meters. Plant some flowers, grass, set up grape trellis, and make some creepers. It's amazing. It's amazing! I'm so greedy."
"Okay, Uncle Xu, if you really love me, you will come in the future. I will drink with you. We are under the grape trellis, and we are cool down. How about it?"
Dad Xu laughed and turned around and left. "Hey, Xiaoxiao. Are you really planning to buy this?"
"You didn't hear what I said just now. I've bought it all. Now I'm waiting to repair it and let my aunt move in. Don't look at her unhappy now. I know that she is reluctant to leave the old house, but it's not far away, right? How comfortable is the old lady living here?"
"That's right, just do this. When you come back, the old lady will move here. You can re-tire the house in No. 1 courtyard. From now on, it will be our buddies' home. Everyone is there. Although it is smaller than here, it is no problem to entertain a dozen people. Just use it as our stronghold. How about it?"
"Let's talk about it then. I'll come back and ask my aunt's attitude. Alas, they're here."
Yu Fang entered the No. 2 courtyard and looked at the weeds all over the yard, and there was no place to settle down. He gritted his teeth even more hated. Lu Li didn't dare to look at the old man. He crawled past her like a ground mouse and ran away. "Auntie, don't you pay attention to him. Don't you know that Xiaoxiao's temper? Anyway, you know that he was wrong." Liang Wei also felt that his money was spent too unfairly. What is this place? It just cost 800 yuan to buy a cemetery!
***************************************************
As July entered, Xu's father led the construction team to the No. 2 courtyard. "Xiaoxiao, we calculated that all the houses and yards were sorted out, and it cost more than 100 yuan."
Luli almost laughed out loud! He coughed and nodded, "I didn't say anything, how long will it take?"
"We can't come here every day. You have to do your job here at any time. The same thing is the case, and the New Year will be celebrated."
Lu Li was a little regretful. According to his plan, he would set out to Hong Kong for a trip in September. What should I do if the work here cannot be completed? "Uncle Xu, you discuss with your colleagues and I will add the money to a total of 300. Before August 31, I must let my aunt move in. How about it?"
"Really? I've told you all?"
"Also, if I can get one week in advance, I will add another 100. Two weeks in advance, and I will add 200. In short, the faster the better. But Uncle Xu, we are not outsiders, so we have to make a statement in advance. If there is a problem with the quality, what do you say?"
"You look for me! Uncle will pat his chest to guarantee you today. If it is airtight or leaking, and uncle will find these people back and we will do it for you in vain, how about it?"
"It's done! Then that's the matter. When will you start?"
"Don't worry, isn't it just before August 31?" Xu's father patted Lu Li on the shoulder, walked over with a smile, and whispered a few words to a dark man among his colleagues. The latter's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. This kid is the same as my son. When he speaks, there is nothing he doesn't count. It depends on your brothers. But Lao He, we're good at it. You can do it. When it's done, the owner transports the things in. After living there for a few days, there will be problems with the house, such as rain leaking or wall-skinned ones. What do you say?"
"Fuck! Xu Dakai, did you work with me on the first day? Am I the one who does something ignorant? Just hold on!"
This was the first time Lu Li knew Xu's father's name. It turned out that his name was Xu Dakai. His eyes floated, and the two people at the door were muttering in a low voice, "Go?"
"Why don't you go? Why do you have to pull me here?"
"You're going, please, can't you do it?"
The boy had no choice but to wave to the inside, "Brother, brother? My sister is looking for you. Oh! Why are you pinching me? You are the one who came to find him, Oh!... I will bully me."
Lu Li made fun of the siblings and siblings, stepped down the steps and stood in front of Liang Wei, "Xiao Xin, go ahead and go. I'll say something to your sister."
Liang Xin nodded obediently and stepped into the yard. He was innocent and cute, with a sweet mouth. Uncle and uncle screamed. After a while, he became familiar with everyone, "Hey, hedgehog, be careful, this thing is so awesome."
"What are you afraid of?" A man picked up the hedgehog with a shovel and threw it out. The hedgehog rolled in place, but was not hurt. He moved his round body and slowly climbed away.
Lu Li and Liang Wei stood in the shadow of the wall. The girl was like a death row prisoner waiting for the trial result. She neither spoke nor moved, and twisted her hands together. She was nervous. Lu Li smiled and held her wrist and rubbed her smooth and delicate skin with her thumb. "Xiao Wei, I miss you, do you miss me?"
Liang Wei looked up at him in surprise and joy, suddenly cried and leaned over and threw herself into his arms. "Li, I'm sorry. You... don't be angry with me, I won't... that'll be the case again!"
"Be good, I'm not angry with you." Luli held his lover in his arms, and felt peace and joy in his heart. His fingers passed by her black hair like a dark cloud, and kissed her cheeks. "Xiaowei, if we both have something to do in the future, we must not hide it in our hearts. We must tell each other that what I hate the most is the cold war with me. What a great question, you can't explain it? Whoever is wrong will bear the mistake. This is not only now, but also in the future, do you know?"
"Yeah, I get it."
"There's another thing, I'm yesterday..."
"I know, if you want to go to Hong Kong, don't worry about your family affairs. I have everything on my aunt. If you are not here, I will take good care of her."
Liang Wei's change in Fang's name made Lu Li happy and excited. He ignored the fact that the two of them were in this alley in the daytime, picked up their lover's chin and kissed them hard, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see it!"
Liang Xin's inappropriate cry made his sister so embarrassed that she had to pretend to be an ostrich and buried her face deeply in her lover's arms. She didn't meet this annoying brother, "Li, please take care of him!"
Lu Li burst out laughing and let her go, "What's the stinky thing? Xiaoxin, come here."
Liang Xin smiled in disgustingly, “Is it convenient?”
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Liang Xin and his sister looked at each other and didn't dare to joke around anymore. They walked up to them, "Brother, are there anything wrong?"
"You go back to Beijing early, one or two weeks in advance. I will accompany you to go back to Brother Hua's house to recognize the door. If you go there often in the future, the relationship between people is more important. If you walk more, you will naturally have feelings - this is what we often say, distant relatives are worse than close neighbors."
"I finally came back for the summer vacation. I haven't stayed enough with Brother Jian, Brother Xun and others. Why did you drive me out?"
"You and Cao Xun and others are not together for nothing, they are just poor all day long. What's the point? When you have that time, learn to understand something, and now put in more time and energy, it will be of great benefit to your future work. Not to mention anything else, take advantage of not graduating from college, follow Brother Hua more, take a look, have a longer experience, and broaden your horizons. It's not better than being in Tianjin? Our buddies will have a long time to get together and talk?"
Liang Wei also said, "Xiao Sier, I listen to your brother. He thinks more long-term than you."
"I know, sister, but I know some classmates and teachers in Beijing..."
"That's why I want Brother Hua to take you! When you get to the place you should go with him, you will go there from time to time. Don't be afraid of opening your mouth and not having to buy anything. Speaking of which, you just visit them, talk with them, chat with them, and choose some novel and anecdotes that happen in schools and society, and tell them about them, just treat them as if they are the elders of their families."
“…………”
"You have a special advantage in this regard, that is, you are innocent and honest, and you always speak with a little immature youthful aura. I think there is no need to change this deliberately - keep this mentality, I think you will definitely be liked by many people, and this kind of love will definitely play an unexpected role in your future years."
"Okay, anyway, you're like you with the guy, just do it with others."
"It's almost the same."
"Okay, I'll go back to Beijing with you. Alas, except for going to the countryside with my brother, I have never taken the train together. This time, I'm fine."
