The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 151 Repair the Roof

Early the next morning, after enjoying the beef burrito and egg bacon carefully made by Aunt Molly with avocado and tomato salsa, the crowd set out together. Hannah drove the F150 at the front, and Walker drove a car full of building materials. The pickup truck followed.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at Hannah's small farm. A gray-haired old Mexican couple had already been wearing formal national costumes, and they were waiting at the gate of the farm.

The old Tiago wore a 'Chamando' like a large cape, and a classic Mexican wide-brimmed straw hat, while the old woman wore a traditional 'China Poblana' dress with a black background and gold trim, embroidered It is embroidered in red, white and green.

"Honey, welcome home."

The wrinkled old woman held Hannah's hand in her own and stared at her with tears in her eyes. After being separated for many years, the little girl who left at the time has grown into an adult now.

Old Thiago stood aside, silently holding a corn pipe without saying a word, but his eyes were slightly red.

The two old men were ranch workers in the Stephens family back then. They have faithfully guarded the small farm for Hannah for so many years, and they have also regarded it as their own home.

A Lexus SUV sped up from a distance and stopped aside. A handsome guy who looked a bit like Walker, but younger jumped off and shouted: "Hey, guys, I'm not late Bar."

"I thought you weren't coming today, so come here to help unload things."

When the old father Bonham saw his youngest son, he unceremoniously threw him a pair of gloves.

"Liam, how long has it been since you came home, brat?" Walker stepped forward and hugged his brother tightly.

Contrary to his brother's image, Liam's cheeks are cleaner than Jack's. Although he also wears work clothes, he looks more like a professional elite than a cowboy.

"Why do you have the face to speak out here, and I don't know who it is. The last time I went to the border to perform a mission, I didn't return for three months. I just got promoted recently and I'm busy."

Liam also hugged his brother hard and began to exert himself.

"Yeah, yeah, looks like we've got one of the best assistant D.A.'s ever, but I'm still a brother."

Then everyone laughed and watched the two brothers wrestle together.

"Hey, if you two still want to go home for dinner, give me a break and get to work."

Aunt Molly let out a roar, and the two sons turned off the engine immediately. They gestured to each other unwillingly, and Walker obediently climbed into the truck and began to move things.

"Howdy, Hannah, long time no see, is this handsome guy your boyfriend?" Liam and Hannah hugged each other and asked jokingly.

"Sorry, I don't think you're his type."

Hannah looked more familiar with Liam, and unceremoniously punched him twice on the shoulder.

Jack was very friendly and took the initiative to reach out. In the original play, Liam was set as J guy. Although he didn't like J guy too much, apart from sexual orientation, Liam is not different from normal people in terms of emotion. Big, even more conservative than most old Americans, and it is too good for the family.

In the original play, Walker chose to escape from his wife's death, or he left his family to seek revenge. It was his younger brother Liam who stepped forward in time and moved back to his parents' house to help the old Walker couple take care of the two mothers who lost their mothers. , father and nearly missing child.

Maybe in this place of Texas, even a minority group like J guys is unique and different from other places.

The original house of Hannah’s family was of good quality. Like the Walker’s villa, it was a bungalow-style building with a brick-concrete structure. It was very strong enough to withstand natural disasters such as tornadoes and hailstones that are common in the local area. This is very different from the wooden houses everywhere in California.

The large glass windows allow good daylight into the house, and the low-sloping roof extends out to provide a lot of open space, namely the long porches.

Putting a few rocking chairs under the porch, looking at the cattle on their ranch in the distance, enjoying food and beer leisurely, is the most wonderful daily leisure time for these Texas cowboys.

It can be seen that the old Tiago couple have been maintaining this house with great care. Although the wooden columns and guardrails on the porch have been stained with mottled colors over the years, they have been wiped very clean and the wooden floors are also well protected. Well, after all these years, it's still bright as new.

What needs to be repaired is the tiles on one of the roofs. Due to the damage of the internal structure, the cement tiles in this section have fallen a lot, and some of them leaked. This is not a job that the two old Mexicans can complete.

Three strong laborers and one old and one young, a total of 5 men, unloaded the entire truckload of building materials in less than half an hour, and Bonham began to arrange the division of labor among them.

The women repainted the wooden doors, windows and railing posts, while the men got together and began to work out how to repair the broken places.

"The roof on this side needs to be reinforced before it can be re-tiled. Walker, you and your brother go up and measure the size to see how much you need to remove." Bonham said to his son.

Jack walked into the house, opened the ceiling and looked at the interior of the roof, and then volunteered.

"The damaged wooden structure is about seven or eight square meters. I will deal with the wood first. After you remove the damaged part, tell me the exact size."

On-site electric circular saws, electric planers, sand mills, air nail guns and other tools are all available, and Jack feels that he can handle them with ease.

"Are you sure that one person can handle it?" Uncle Bonham gave him a surprised look. He was already prepared to let this young man do the work.

"If you can ask Auggie to help, my home in LA is a kitchen and bathroom I renovated myself."

As he spoke, Jack called up the photos on his mobile phone, which showed his closed kitchen and the super luxurious bathtub.

Uncle Bonham shrugged and joked with a smile, "Then let's get started, I thought you guys in the city were just bragging, Auggie, come and help."

Because he was going to face the test of his "maiden's family", Jack exerted all his strength. If it wasn't for the lack of gold coins in the system, he would have raised his carpentry skills to a master in one go, so as to impress these Texas cowboys.

However, although the previous ogre incident allowed him to harvest a lot of gold and 2 system gold coins, but with the 3 previously saved, it was only enough to upgrade a proficient skill to proficient.

So he just YYed in his heart, he was not willing to waste it, although the progress bar of the carpentry skill (skilled) is almost full, but the cheating system will not reduce the cost of gold coins, that is to say, it will still cost 5 to upgrade. system gold coins.

Fortunately, Jack is now physically strong, and he just simply collected the wood for roof repair. After the Walker brothers climbed up to the roof and removed all the damaged parts, he has also quickly completed the preliminary processing work.

"This kid is a good hand at work!"

Uncle Bonham lifted a section of wooden beam, checked the flatness with his eyes, and rubbed it with his fingers. It felt smooth and free of burrs. He patted Jack on the shoulder and spoke in the direction of the busy ladies on the other side.

There was giggling laughter from the lady's side, and it was unclear whether it was Aunt Molly or Emily who was making fun of Hannah.
