Chapter 244 You're still alive
"Sorry, sorry!" An old man walked out from the opposite side.
"Teacher Zhang?" Yang Qing was surprised.
"Are you... Miss Yang?" Teacher Zhang was also surprised to see Yang Qing.
Li Liang looked at Yang Qing, "Sister-in-law, do you know each other?"
Yang Qing nodded, "Yes, it was my former neighbor."
Looking at the child again, he was indeed Teacher Zhang's grandson. He seemed to have grown a little taller after more than a year, but he was very thin.
Yes, it is not easy to survive in this doomsday, and how many families can have enough food to eat?
"You live here too?" Teacher Zhang was very happy.
"No, this is my friend's house. I came here for dinner today." Yang Qing said, looking at the child and squatting down. "Do you still recognize me?"
The child hid timidly behind Teacher Zhang, secretly looking at Yang Qing, not daring to speak.
Yang Qing handed the ball over and said, "Next time, if you have something to say, just knock on the door. Don't hit other people's doors with the ball. It's impolite."
The child took the ball and quickly hid behind Teacher Zhang.
"I'm sorry, this child is naughty. I will definitely teach him a lesson." Teacher Zhang was very embarrassed and patted the child on the head. "Hurry up and apologize to your uncle."
The child pouted but didn't say anything.
"This kid..." Teacher Zhang gave Li Liang an apologetic smile, then turned serious again when he looked at the child. "Tell me, why did you smash someone else's door?"
The child licked his lips and said, "I smell meat. I want to eat meat."
Teacher Zhang blushed and looked at Li Liang, "Ah, this... I'm sorry, I didn't teach the child well..."
Yang Qing smiled and called inside, "Linlin, bring out a bowl of beef and potatoes for Teacher Zhang."
"Ah? No, no!" Teacher Zhang waved his hands quickly.
Lu Lin quickly used her rice bowl to fill a bowl with potatoes and beef, adding a little more beef.
Lu Lin smiled and handed the bowl over. "Teacher Zhang, please don't be polite. We are old friends. It's fate that we can meet here."
Teacher Zhang's eyes immediately turned red. "You're here too? And where's that young man?"
"I'm here, Teacher Zhang." Leng Yi walked out.
"It's great that you are all alive!" Teacher Zhang's eyes were wet.
"How are you? Is Zhang Nian okay? Where is Lin Xueting?" Yang Qing asked.
But it shouldn’t be too bad to buy a house here.
"Zhang Nian is at home, cooking. Xue Ting..." Teacher Zhang paused, looking somewhat sad. "She disappeared when the tsunami hit. She was pregnant at the time..."
Yang Qing frowned. She was still pregnant at this stage? Even if she didn't die, could they support two children?
Look at this grown-up kid, he's so thin.
Moreover, in a tsunami situation, Lin Xueting might have a chance of surviving alone, but because of her pregnancy, the chances of dying were much greater.
Yang Qing didn't know what to say.
"It's good to be alive. There is still hope in the future."
Teacher Zhang brought the dishes into the house, put them in his own bowl, washed the bowl and returned it to Li Liang.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Li Liang nodded. "It's okay. We'll be neighbors from now on. We should look after each other."
After they returned to their room and closed the door, Lin Feng asked curiously, "Brother Yi, do you know each other?"
Leng Yi nodded. "Our former neighbors, we lived on the seventh floor and they lived on the sixth. They were pretty nice people, so we looked after them from time to time."
"If there's anything they need in the future, I'll help them if I can. Of course, if it involves money or supplies, forget it. They'll have to rely on themselves for that."
Li Liang nodded, "I understand."
During the meal, Yang Qing talked about the renovation and wanted to find someone to help renovate the house. Li Liang and Lin Feng naturally agreed.
They haven't found a job yet, so going to Yang Qing will definitely not put them at a disadvantage.
"Why don't we ask Zhang Nian if he is free and call him over to help them." Yang Qing looked at Leng Yi.
"Okay." Leng Yi nodded. Even if he didn't have any plastering skills, he could at least help mix the mortar and hand over tools, right?
"As for the salary, I'll ask other decoration masters how much they earn. Our salary won't be less than theirs," said Yang Qing.
If it's just Li Liang and Lin Feng, the more people there are, the better. But it's impossible to hire only the two of them. If there's too big a difference between them and the others, it might make them feel unbalanced and do something tricky during the decoration.
Li Liang and Lin Feng both nodded. As long as there was a job, it would be fine. They might not be able to pay as much as they could if they looked for a job outside.
After dinner, Yang Qing knocked on Teacher Zhang’s door and told him about the renovation. He asked Zhang Nian if he had a job and whether he wanted to go with him.
"Yes, yes!" Teacher Zhang quickly responded and called Zhang Nian out. "Go help Miss Yang. Do a good job!"
Zhang Nian felt a little embarrassed and called out, "Ms. Yang, thank you!"
"You're welcome." Yang Qing smiled. "Then come with us. We'll start this afternoon."
Zhang Nian quickly changed into old clothes and went downstairs with them.
Li Liang drove the pickup truck and took Lin Feng and Zhang Nian with him, while Leng Yi continued to drive the truck.
A lot of materials are needed for decoration, and they always have to look like they were found from outside, so a truck is a must.
When we arrived at the villa area, we saw a large truck parked at the gate, blocking it.
Leng Yi honked the horn, but the car in front didn't move. He honked again, asking, "How could such a person be so unethical as to stop in the middle of the road?"
"Why are you rushing us?" The driver in front leaned out of the driver's window with a fierce look on his face. "Can't you see the traffic jam ahead? How are we going to move if they don't move?"
"There's still a traffic jam here?" Yang Qing frowned, opened the door and walked down, wanting to see what was going on.
When I reached the car in front, the person inside suddenly called out, "Sister, is that you?"
Yang Qing turned his head and said, "Oh, isn't this a mouse?"
What a coincidence.
"Sister, it's really you!" Haozi jumped out of the car with a look of surprise.
"You kid are still alive?" Yang Qing smiled.
Haozi scratched the back of his head and said, "I'm lucky. I almost died during the tsunami, but luckily Sister Cai had someone rescue me."
"Still following her?" Yang Qing said, "Where's your sister? Is she okay?"
"Yes, my sister is here too, helping Sister Cai take care of the children." said Haozi.
Yang Qing was surprised, "Cai Qin has a child?"
"Well, the child is already six years old, but..." Haozi lowered his voice, "I have never seen the child's father, and I don't know who her father is or whether he is still alive."
Yang Qing smiled, "Are you quite gossipy?"
"I'm just curious, but I never dared to ask Sister Cai. This seems to be her Achilles' heel." Haozi said.
Then he called the driver down and said, "Da Zhuang, let me introduce you. This is Sister Yang, whom I often told you about. Eighty percent of the things we replaced in the past were due to Sister Yang."
"Hello, Sister Yang!" Da Zhuang nodded quickly, a little embarrassed, "I didn't know it was someone Haozi knew..."
"It's okay." Yang Qing smiled faintly and looked at Haozi, "You've made it big, have you bought a villa here?"
"How is that possible? This is Sister Cai's house, and I'm here to help with the renovations." Haozi said, "I just brought in a truckload of materials, and I'm stuck here."
"Oh, it's Cai Qin's?" Yang Qing thought thoughtfully, "Which building is it? We can still visit later."
"It's the small villa on the far left..." Haozi seemed a little guilty.
"Wasn't Cai Qin quite capable before? Why did she buy the worst one?" Yang Qing was a little surprised.
Haozi gave a bitter laugh. "When the tsunami hit, we didn't get a lot of supplies. We're lucky to be alive..."
Yang Qing nodded. Indeed, the tsunami came suddenly. If there was no preparation, the circle of rich people would have to be reshuffled.
