Chapter 25 Repairing the Old House
Thinking that the old house must be dirty and messy, Li Miaomiao found out an old dark suit and wore a gray hat.

The families are separated, and each family cooks their own breakfast.

Originally, Li Miaomiao was too lazy to make breakfast, but thinking that everyone was going to help her and was about to prepare breakfast, Mrs. Pei had already arranged it.

"These two days to rest the old house, this is supposed to be a business trip, I will take care of the food, you just clean up the old house earlier." Mrs. Pei said to Li Miaomiao
"Thank you mom, then I won't be polite to you."

"What are you being polite to? If you are still willing to call me mom and take Xiaofan to live a good life, how can I help this little favor. Now that the family is separated, no matter what I want to give, as long as I am willing, no one can do it." Say what."

As Old Madam Pei said so, she even took a special look at Zhou Fang, who was so angry in her heart.

This dead old woman is eccentric. It was so late last night, when her mother's family left, the old woman didn't even stay.Not to mention other people, but her parents, they are so old, why can't they stay here for a night, but the old woman would not like to take care of them if they squeezed together, and she doesn't like to see her natal family.He is very concerned about the affairs of the second daughter-in-law, mother and son, and gets up early in the morning to work.

She just waited for the old woman to get old in the future, so don't point at her then.

Zhou Fang walked away with a bad face, but it was Chen Xuexiang who not only went to the old house to help, but also asked Da Ya and Er Ya to help Old Madam Pei here.

Li Miaomiao kept her mother-in-law's protection and Chen Xuexiang's help in mind, and she felt a warm feeling in her heart. After breakfast, she took the tools and went to the old house with everyone, and the little guy naturally followed.

Originally, Li Miaomiao thought that the environment in the old house must be bad, so she didn't want the little guy to follow her, but the little guy was so worried, how could she not let him go, so Li Miaomiao just let him go.

In fact, the old house was more desolate and messy than Li Miaomiao had imagined. There was not a good roof, especially the stove, where more than half of the tiles were missing, and there was a big hole exposed, through which the sunlight penetrated. down.

Looking at this situation, I can't regret it
Although Li Miaomiao has never been to the old house, she has also heard about what the old house is like. It is worse than she expected, so let's take it easy.

It's not that she doesn't dislike the dilapidated side of the old house, and it's not that she likes to make troubles, but it's because she is planning for a rainy day

The urine of the system, there must be many things in the future, living under one roof, everything is under the nose of others, it is better to take the son to live farther away, not to mention that there is a benefit that others do not know about the old house... …

"Mom, I've said it all, the old house is very dilapidated."

Pei Yifan looked at the big hole in the roof above the kitchen, his tone was very melancholy and helpless

He looked at the surprised expression on his mother's face. He probably didn't expect the old house to be so dilapidated. It was quiet, and the place was huge. But looking at the deserted vegetable garden, weeds were overgrown, and the grass was longer than people. It is tall, and the inside is full of thorns, and there may be many snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Pei Guotai looked at the house next to the old house, and there was a schadenfreude in his eyes. The second daughter-in-law is a genius, she thinks about it, and now she is fooling herself.

Old man Pei looked at the dilapidated old house. It was not so dilapidated before, but now it is like this. Even if it is repaired, it can barely live in.

"Second daughter-in-law, do you really want to live in the old house?"

Old man Pei looked at Li Miaomiao who was standing there in a daze, not knowing where to start, and asked uncertainly

"Dad, the separation of the family has been decided, and the house has been divided, and you said that you can't go back on your word!"

Before Li Miaomiao opened his mouth, Pei Guotai hurriedly said:

He was still very upset at first, but looking at the house in the old house, he felt that he was still taking advantage of it. He had one more room than before. Naturally, it was impossible for Li Miaomiao to turn back and take back the benefits he got.

Old man Pei's face sank after being robbed by his son, but the reason was indeed the same, so he didn't say anything
"Sister-in-law, you can't go back on your word about the separation, why don't you take Xiaofan to live in our room, anyway, we don't have much time to come back, the room on this side will be put here first, and when Xiaofan grows up, we will push down this side reconstruction."

Seeing Pei Guotai like this, Li Miaomiao's eyes flashed contempt, and he shook his head when he heard Pei Guoqiang's words, and looked at old man Pei: "Dad, although the houses here are a bit dilapidated, they look much better after a rest, just the tiles on the roof. Looking at it like this, I have to pick it up again, otherwise it may leak in rainy days."

Old man Pei nodded: "I have to pick it up again."

"Dad, is there a bricklayer in the village? I want to hire a master to help pick up the tiles. I will pay for it myself."

"It's not necessary to hire a bricklayer. The third child knows this job, but I have to go to the next village to ask and buy some tiles. Looking at the situation in the old house, I need a lot of tiles. I wonder if there are any ready-made ones? "

Old man Pei thought so, and was about to go to a neighboring village to ask questions, when his youngest son took the initiative to speak.
"Dad, you can't delay this matter. Leave it to me. I'll go to Uncle Degen's house to borrow a bicycle. If there are ready-made tiles, I'll ask someone to pull them back."

Now that Li Miaomiao has made up his mind to live in the old house, Pei Guoqiang has to help their mother and son get things done.

Since Pei Guoqiang asked to go, Old Man Pei would naturally not object
"Sure, then go and have a look and ask your mother to bring you the money."

Old man Pei instructed that Mrs. Pei set aside half of the cost of repairing the old house and building a three-bedroom house, but this amount is limited. The houses on the side of the old house are more dilapidated than expected. is not enough.

That's all, if it's not enough for the old couple, they can add some by themselves. The money and food shared by the second house are not much, so don't let the house matter burden their mother and child again.

"Hurry up, I'm waiting for Wa Yong here."

Pei Guoqiang nodded and left. He was efficient and came back in just over an hour with a smile on his face.

"Second sister-in-law, you are lucky. I went to the next village and happened to have ready-made fired tiles, so I ordered them and delivered them later."

When Li Miaomiao heard that things went well, she was also happy: "That's great, I just need the tiles urgently. If the roof is not repaired, I can't do other things, and the house is not easy to clean. It's just whether the tiles are needed or not." Not many, do you know if the quantity is enough?"

"Enough, Brother Zhao heard that you wanted to use tiles, so he agreed without saying a word. He also said that if it is not enough, he can move some from other places. He will let you repair the house after all, and the price will also be given. lowest."

Li Miaomiao blinked when she heard this, with a confused expression on her face: "Brother Zhao?"

Hearing Pei Guoqiang's familiar tone and the meaning behind his words, this brother Zhao clearly took care of him on purpose.
