Chapter 42 The house is repaired
After returning from the steel rolling mill, the materials for house repair were delivered to the house one after another by Master Liu, and He Yuzhu also moved into the west wing with Yuyu. I also emptied everything in the room.
On this day, Master Liu and his people came to He Yuzhu's house to prepare to start construction.
"Mr. He, we are going to start construction today." Master Liu greeted He Yuzhu.
"I've packed everything. If you need anything, just tell me."
He Yuzhu thought for a while and then said: "Should I take care of your meals at noon, or should you handle it yourself?"
"We will handle it ourselves. My mother-in-law cooks at home at noon, and she will go to my house to eat. However, the cost of the meal needs to be included in the salary."
Hearing what Master Liu said, He Yuzhu thought for a while. Master Liu might earn a little more from his meal money, but this would save him trouble, as long as he could build a house for himself with good quality and quantity.
"Okay, this will save me some trouble and I'll settle the bill for you when I'm done."
After the exchange, Master Liu set off a small firecracker and started work with his people.
He Yuzhu looked at it for a while, but didn't understand, so he stopped caring. Besides, Master Liu's home was close to him, and it was introduced by the street office, so Master Liu didn't dare to fool him.
He put down a few packs of cigarettes for Master Liu and the others and said, "The cigarettes are on the table and the water is in the kitchen. If there is not enough water, you can burn it yourself. I have to go out for something."
Master Liu dispersed the cigarettes for several people and said, "You do your job, and I, Old Liu, promise to do it well."
He Yuzhu went out and went to the free market outside the city to try his luck, maybe there would be something good.
I spent the whole morning shopping, bought a few novels published in the Republic of China, and picked out a few short-story novels for Yu Yu. I collected a set of replica Twelve-Flower God Cups from the Republic of China period.
After shopping around all morning, when I was about to leave, I saw a shop selling swimming crabs. So I bought some.
I brought the crabs to my wife’s house.
"Master's wife, I saw someone selling crabs, so I bought some. Let's eat crabs today."
He Yuzhu showed the swimming crabs he bought to his wife.
"Hey, this swimming crab is quite big." The wife looked at a bag full of swimming crabs.
"I picked the big one." He Yuzhu said while washing the crabs.
He Yuzhu steamed a large pot full of crabs in a big pot. There were a few crabs left that he didn't put in, so he threw them into the space.
Instead of throwing it to a static warehouse, I threw it to the edge of a small lake to see if it could survive in space with the blessing of the spiritual spring water.
Unexpectedly, the swimming crab crawled into the lake. As soon as it entered the lake, the small lake changed. The small lake was divided into two parts by an invisible membrane. One side remained as it was before, while the other side became a mini ocean. There is a beach, a small reef, and waves rushing to the shore.
He Yuzhu was ecstatic. With the sea, he could raise seafood.
After having lunch with his wife Yu Yu and the others at noon. He Yuzhu returned home and took a look. There was only one worker who was looking after the house, while the others followed Master Liu to eat.
"Have you had lunch, master?" He Yuzhu asked, handing him a cigarette.
"I haven't eaten yet. Someone will come and replace me in a moment." The master took the cigarette without smoking it, but clamped it to his ear.
He Yuzhu strolled around for a while and then left.
Ten days later, the house was finally renovated, and Master Liu took He Yuzhu to visit one by one. He Yuzhu looks good, nothing wrong with him. I settled my wages with Master Liu.
In the afternoon, He Yuzhu began to decorate the room, and the living room in the middle was still the same as before. Both sides have been turned into bedrooms and studies. The kitchen has been restored to its original state. The original utility room became a bathroom and toilet.
In the evening, after collecting the rainwater, I took the rainwater with me to visit.
"Look at Yu Yu, do you like this bedroom?" He Yuzhu said, pointing to the room he had carefully decorated for Yu Yu in the afternoon.
Yu Yu looked at the clean and tidy room. There was a desk next to the window, and a bookshelf on one side held his own little book and a few toys. There are several stuffed animals on the bed.
"Brother, I like it." He Yuyu happily took He Yuzhu's arm and said.
"As long as you like it, you can stay in this room from now on." He Yuzhu touched Yuyu's head.
As soon as Yuyu heard that her brother didn't live in the same house with her, she started acting like a spoiled child: "Brother, I'm scared to be alone."
He Yuzhu did not compromise and said: "Yu Yu, you are a big boy now. Didn't we agree before that you will sleep by yourself after going to school. You must keep your word."
Seeing that being coquettish didn't work, Yu Yu had tears in his eyes and said with a crying voice, "But, I'm still scared."
When He Yuzhu saw tears in Yuyu's eyes, he comforted Yuyu: "Look, you live in this house and my brother lives in that house. There is only a living room in between. When we go to bed at night, we don't close the door. Aren't we still in the same room?" In a house?"
Yuyu still looked at He Yuzhu with tears in his eyes, but said nothing.
He Yuzhu had no choice but to seduce: "How about this, when you have a break, my brother will take you out to play?"
He Yuzhu promised a lot of delicious and fun things.
Seeing that his brother wouldn't let go, Yu Yu could only reluctantly agree to sleep by himself.
That night, it rained several times, and every time I had to run to He Yuzhu's room to see if his brother was still there. He Yuzhu didn't sleep well either. He was worried about whether the rain kicked off the quilt and whether he was scared. He didn't sleep much all night.
In this way, neither brother nor sister had a good sleep that night. When they got up in the morning, they both woke up late and had dark circles under their eyes.
Yuyu had to go to school, so He Yuzhu could only take out a few buns from the space and eat them with Yuyu. He also added some spiritual spring water to the rainwater kettle. He hurriedly sent the rainwater to the school.
On the way back, I went to Master’s house to say hello to Master’s wife. This will save the mistress from worrying about not seeing the brother and sister in the morning.
Seeing that He Yuzhu was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes, the wife said, "You should sleep here first, you can't even open your eyes."
"It's okay, I'll just go back and sleep." He Yuzhu braced himself and said, "I'll come back at noon to catch the rainwater and let them go from school."
"Don't worry about Rain and the others. I will take good care of them. Go back and sleep again." The teacher's wife rushed He Yuzhu to go home and sleep.
"Okay then. I'm going back to sleep." He Yuzhu returned home on his bicycle and lay down on the bed again.
After sleeping until the afternoon, He Yuzhu woke up, ate something in a hurry, and went to Fengze Garden to help in the kitchen.
I caught the rainwater in the evening, and I felt sleepy because of the rain, so I went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, He Yuzhu felt someone beside the bed. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yuyu standing beside him.
"Yu Yu, why don't you sleep?" He Yuzhu asked.
"I woke up, come here to see if my brother is still there?" Yuyu said, rubbing his eyes.
"Brother, I'm here. I promise you won't leave the rain."
He Yuzhu coaxed Yuyu back to the bedroom and told Yuyu another story before coaxing her to sleep.
It took several days for He Yuzhu to adapt to sleeping alone, and he stopped waking up in the middle of the night and ran to He Yuzhu's room.
