Back in the ’70s: My Military Husband Is Confused

In her sixties, Chen Xi is reborn—back in the 1970s, before she was sent to the countryside as a youth. Along with her second chance, she gains a golden ability: the house and car she owned in he...

Chapter 25 Repairing the Roof

After using the tools in the space to clean the entire room, Chen Xi looked up at the ceiling.

She found that there was no ceiling, only a roof, and there was a big hole in the roof. Fortunately, it was not where the kang was, so she decided to climb up and take a look.

So she left the room and looked at the wall outside to see if there was a good foothold to climb up.

After observing for a while, Chen Xi rolled up his sleeves and jumped up like a little mouse.

Sikong Ling saw this scene as soon as he came out of the room.

He couldn't help but shout at Chen Xi who was moving tiles from the next room with a look of surprise.

"Chen Zhiqing, what are you doing?" Chen Xi stopped what he was doing when he heard Sikong Ling's voice.

"Oh! There's a hole in the roof of my room. I'll see if I can fix it myself. Since the room is empty, I'll just use the tiles to fix it." Chen Xi explained.

Sikong Ling nodded. "So you're just going up like this without a ladder? What will you do when you come down later?"

This height is not very high for him who is only 1.9 meters tall, but it is really difficult for Chen Xi, a short man who is only 1.5 meters tall.

"Oh! Don't worry about that, I will find a place to go down." After Chen Xi said that, he looked at the sky and got to work quickly!

Otherwise it would be bad when it gets dark at night.

Moreover, according to the situation of the educated youth, she only had half a day to rest. She also had to find a bricklayer to repair the room and go to the city to get some things.

Maybe I will have to go to work tomorrow.

Time is very tight and waits for no one.

More importantly, as the team leader just said, since they arrived in the village early, they only have half a day to rest.

It happened to be summer, the busy farming season, so they couldn't rest for too long.

"Okay, just be careful!" Sikong Ling gave some instructions and went out.

Chen Xi worked hard on the roof and finally finished repairing his roof.

This is largely due to the effects of the Dali Pills and Agility Pills.

After finishing everything and looking at the time, she found that she had spent more than an hour on the roof.

This is not good.

Seeing that the clock pointed to two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xi quickly came down from the roof.

As soon as I came down, I saw Sikong Ling leading two people into the Youth League Home.

Judging from their attire, these two people looked like local villagers.

"Chen Zhiqing? Have you repaired the roof?" Seeing Chen Xi just coming down from the roof, Sikong Ling asked curiously.

"Well, I plan to go out and find a carpenter and a bricklayer." Chen Xi said as he was about to go out, but was stopped by Sikong Ling.

"They are all here! Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang, this is Chen Zhiqing, a new educated youth like me." Sikong Ling hurriedly introduced the three of them.

Chen Xi hadn't expected Sikong Ling to be such a man of action. He had actually brought the person back directly.

That’s a good speed!

"This kid looks small, but he is quite capable. Were you repairing the roof by yourself just now?" Uncle Yang is a bricklayer, so when he saw that Chen Xi was covered with dust from the roof, he asked with a smile.

"Um... I've done it before, so I know a little bit." Chen Xi scratched his head shyly and said embarrassedly.

"Can you let me see the roof you repaired?" As a bricklayer, he is naturally very interested in this kind of thing.

I have never seen such a capable educated youth who can actually work as a bricklayer.

"Okay, Uncle Yang, are you a bricklayer? My stove and kang don't seem to work properly. Can you take a look for me?" Chen Xi immediately invited the other party into the room to take a look.

Uncle Yang just followed Chen Xi away.

Sikong Ling was not annoyed that the person he called was called away by Chen Xi. He first took Uncle Yang into his house, and then told him about the furniture he wanted to break.

Bringing the other person back is also to let him or her have a general idea of ​​where things should be placed and what size is appropriate.

When Big Uncle Yang followed Chen Xi out of the room with a smile, Sikong Ling also came out with Little Uncle Yang.

Then the two of them exchanged positions, and Chen Xi led Uncle Yang into the room again.

Uncle Yang followed Sikong Ling into the room.

After they had checked out both rooms, they both had smiles on their faces and waved goodbye to them.

"Is everything done?" Sikong Ling asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, Uncle Yang said that he would prepare the things and help me when he got home, and I paid him." Chen Xi focused on efficiency when doing things.

Absolutely no procrastination.

"Yeah, me too." Sikong Ling didn't expect that Chen Xi would be so compatible with him.

"Haha! That's fine. I have to go to the commune in the afternoon. Do you want to come with me? Or can you stay at the educated youth site and help me look after it? I'll bring your things back for you?" Chen Xi thought about it and decided that someone had to stay at the educated youth site.

Relying on the military filter he had for Sikong Ling in his previous life, Chen Xi felt that Sikong Ling was a very reliable person.

"That's fine." Sikong Ling nodded, then took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xi, "This is for you, thank you for your help. It's not much, just some very light things." Chen Xi took the note and opened it to take a look.

Then he looked at Sikong Ling with an indescribable look.

Wow, she is really a good girl.

Why didn’t she realize that Sikong Ling was a sweet tooth?

The list was filled with desserts like pastries, including quite a few White Rabbit milk candies.

"Here are the tickets and some money, take them. If it's not enough, I'll give you more when you come back." After Sikong Ling finished speaking, Chen Xi accepted it without any psychological burden.

He basically had all the things he wanted in his own space, so the tickets belonged to him.

This wave is not a loss!

"Okay, then I'll go first." Chen Xi said and left quickly.

As for the two packages she brought, they had naturally been replaced with other things, and the cotton had been taken away.

There was nothing important in the bag, so there was no need to worry about it being lost.

The most important thing is that Chen Xi plans to go to the city under the pretext of going into the city.

At this point, there are definitely no ox carts going to the city.

So I can only walk on my legs.

Chen Xi naturally wouldn't walk there. He made up his mind and started running wildly.

She originally wanted to use her own space RV.

But the RV time is only one hour a day, and this hour is so precious!

She doesn't want to use it unless necessary.

What if there is an emergency?

The original two-hour journey was shortened to one hour as Chen Xi ran all the way, and this was only achieved by Chen Xi speeding up a bit.

If Chen Xi hadn't controlled his speed, he would have reached the commune in half an hour.
