Chapter 42: Staying

"Dad!"

Sitting on the mule cart, Zhou Qing responded loudly.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, don't run, be careful not to trip again."

Zhou Huaishan didn't care about this, and ran forward in one breath, climbed onto the mule cart panting, staring at Zhou Qing eagerly, "Girl."

Looking at Zhou Huaishan's appearance, Zhou Qing was a little moved, "Dad, it's really okay."

Zhou Huailin drove the car, "Second brother, is there anything wrong with our house?"

Zhou Huaishan looked Zhou Qing up and down, confirmed that she was indeed fine, turned to Zhou Huailin and said, "I just came out when it started raining, I didn't know."

Zhou Qing suddenly choked up, "You have been outside in the rain?"

Zhou Huaishan nodded, a little guilty, "I want to find you, but the road is so heavy that I can't see clearly. I don't know where to find you, girl."

For the first time in his life, Zhou Huaishan hated himself for being a playboy who knew nothing.

Shen Li was able to find the person back, but he was not even as good as a young boy, so he could only wait foolishly.

Pursing his lips, Zhou Huaishan turned to Shen Li and said, "Thank you."

Shen Li smiled, "It's all my duty."

If he hadn't gone to find Zhou Qing, he wouldn't have found Zhou Wang.

As they talked, the mule cart stopped at the door of Old Zhou's house.

The rain had stopped.

Zhou Ping heard the noise and ran out like a rabbit, hugging Zhou Huailin's thighs, "Dad, you're back, we were so worried."

Zhou Huailin picked up Zhou Ping, "It's okay, you're back."

Zhou Ping said, "Dad, our house is leaking so badly."

Zhou Huailin's heart skipped a beat.

What you fear, it will come.

Not only the third room is leaking, but the second room is also leaking.

The house is leaking like a water curtain cave, with no place to step.

Zhao took Zhou Yao and Zhou Ping to scoop water out with a basin, and the main room of the big house was sleeping quietly.

The old Zhou family repaired the roof once before.

At that time, Mr. Zhou said that the family didn't have much money, so they repaired it in batches. They repaired the main house and the big house first, and the remaining scraps were used to repair the kitchen.

The second and third houses have been shelved until now.

After taking a look at the main house and the big house, Zhou Huailin gritted his teeth.

They don't worry about him and Qing girl at all?

Can they really sleep well when the house is leaking like this?

"Well, my yard, the roof was repaired a few days ago, it should not leak, otherwise, Master and Uncle San will move in first?"

Shen Li glanced at Zhou Qing and said to Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Huailin.

When Zhou Qing proposed to repair the roof and was stopped by Zhou Huailin, he secretly repaired his own roof.

After the repair, he began to secretly look forward to rain.

Unexpectedly, the dream came true.

Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Huailin didn't make a fuss when the house was leaking like this. They immediately picked up the important things and moved them, and followed Shen Li over.

Fortunately, the two yards were in front of and behind the house, so it was not troublesome.

Zhou Ping's eyes widened as he entered the yard, "Wow! Senior Brother, your yard is so well tidy."

The previously abandoned yard was tidied up by Shen Li, and the three main rooms and the two side rooms on the east and west sides were also tidy and clean, and they were all equipped with furniture.

"You live alone, why do you buy so many furniture?" Zhou Qing looked puzzled.

Shen Li smiled and said, "I don't like the house to be empty. I buy some furniture. I always feel that someone is with me."

Zhou Qing

Twitched his eyes, pointed to the west wing, and said mysteriously, "Aren't you afraid that there are really people in it?"

Shen Li

"Ah?"

"You can't see them during the day, but they come out to chat with you at night. They are usually called Xiaoqian, Qiuyue, Yingning."

Shen Li

Zhou Ping followed on the side, and his hair stood up, "Sister, are you telling ghost stories? It's very scary at night."

Zhou Qing laughed immediately and rubbed Zhou Ping's head, "Okay, sister won't say it."

Shen Li looked at Zhou Qing with a gentle smile, and said to Zhou Huaishan, "Master, you live on the east side of the main house, Qing'er and Yao'er live on the west side, Pingzi and I live in the west wing, and Uncle San and Aunt San live in the east wing. Is this arrangement okay?"

Zhou Huaishan smiled and said, "We are just borrowing, how can you be the owner of the wing while I live in the main house."

"Yes." Zhou Huailin followed.

Shen Li looked at Zhou Huaishan sincerely, "Once a teacher, always a father. How can it be reasonable for the master to live in the wing room and the apprentice to live in the main room? Master, please agree to my request."

Zhou Huaishan.

This dead academic bully is pretty good.

Seeing that Shen Li braved the heavy rain and hail to pick up Zhou Qing today, Zhou Huaishan silently gave Shen Li a good review in his heart.

Sanxinger is slightly better.

"Okay, it's late at night, we won't bother, just do as you say."

Divided the room, each went to settle down.

There are two rooms in the east and west wing rooms, Zhou Ping and Shen Li each have one room.

It was the first time for Zhou Ping to sleep in a room alone, and the room was better tidy than his uncle's room. He rolled back and forth excitedly when he got on the kang.

Suddenly, he didn't want to go back to his own home.

Zhao lit a fire in the kitchen overnight and boiled a large pot of ginger soup porridge with wild mushrooms and pork cubes.

Zhou Qing brought a bowl to Shen Li.

When she entered, Shen Li had just changed into clean clothes and was about to come out. When he saw Zhou Qing coming in, Shen Li immediately turned around and sat back on the kang.

He leaned back, looking exhausted, and was lying there.

Zhou Qing was startled when he entered the room.

"What's wrong with you?"

The porridge bowl was placed on the kang table, and he touched Shen Li's forehead, "It's not fever."

Shen Li grinned and smiled palely, "It's okay, I'm not sick, I'm just a little tired, I'll be fine after a rest."

Zhou Qing looked at Shen Li, was silent for a moment, and said sincerely: "Thank you today."

In such a heavy rain, there was hail outside for a while.

She and Shen Li have only known each other for a dozen days.

Seeing Zhou Qing like this, Shen Li suddenly couldn't bear to pretend to be tired, "Why thank you, it's all my duty, have you eaten? It's raining so hard today, take a hot bath later, I have a big wooden barrel here."

Zhou Qing

stared at Shen Li.

Sure, the young man lives a very exquisite single life.

It was inconvenient to take a bath in ancient times. Since Zhou Qing came here, he has been busy making money to support his family every day, and he has long wanted to take a comfortable bath.

Chatting with Shen Li for a few words, when Shen Li finished the bowl of porridge, Zhou Qing happily took the bowl and left.

The big wooden barrel was placed towards the room where she and Zhou Yao lived, and the two sisters took turns to take a bath.

Old Zhou's house

Sun and Mr. Zhou lay side by side on the kang.

Mr. Zhou heard no movement outside and felt a little uneasy, "Why not ask them to sleep here with us? They can squeeze together and the night will pass."

Sun said with a bad temper.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Wait a little longer."

Mr. Zhou and Sun had discussed it when the second and third rooms were leaking.

Because of the last incident, the second and third rooms have always had a stalemate with them, especially with the first room, which is simply ice and fire.

It's hard to wait for such an opportunity. As long as the second and third children take the initiative to ask for help, the family can take the opportunity to resolve their past grievances.

We are all family members. We are connected by bones and tendons. How can we keep being stalemate?
