Song Zhou was not used to being cared for by others. She was isolated in the dormitory at the beginning of the school year and was left with psychological trauma.
"Eating a piece of candy can make you feel better. There is nothing you can't overcome."
Lu Baiwei took out four White Rabbit candies from her pocket and spread them on Song Zhou's book.
Song Zhou waved his hands anxiously: "Lu Baiwei, I can't take this. I don't want it."
“This candy is expensive.”
Song Zhou pushed the candy back to her.
Lu Baiwei pushed it back to her and winked and smiled at her.
"Zhou Zhou, you deserve the best and most expensive."
After saying that, Lu Baiwei stood up easily, packed up her books and walked towards the classroom door.
She left for a long time, and Lu Baiwei's words were still echoing in Song Zhou's ears, Zhou Zhou, you deserve the best and most expensive.
This sentence was like a ray of light that penetrated into Song Zhou's heart, which was full of gloom. Then the light gradually began to dispel the thick fog, and her heart became clear at this moment.
It was a refreshing feeling, very good.
Peeling off the candy wrapper, Song Zhou put the candy into his mouth and chewed it, savoring the taste of happiness.
She suddenly thought of how she had gone through so much trouble to escape her patriarchal family, how she went to take the college entrance examination without telling her family, and how she promised to send part of her university subsidy back home.
In short, she went through a lot of hardships in order to get the opportunity to go to college.
She had been imprisoned, beaten and insulted.
She longed for the outside world. Now that she had walked out of the cage that had trapped her, why should she add another layer of shackles to her heart and trap herself back in the cage?
Indeed, she is insignificant compared to Yu Jing and others who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
But fireflies also emit light.
She decided that she wanted to be a firefly that could emit twinkling lights in the dark night to illuminate her own path in life.
At this moment, Song Zhou seemed like a drowning man who had found his direction again.
She decided not to go back to the dormitory, but went to the cafeteria to buy a steamed bun, and then continued to read in the library.
The weekend is busy for Lu Baiwei.
She had to go back to the military compound with He Ting to accompany the triplets, and also follow up on the renovation of the house.
The house, which was originally priced at 8,000 yuan, was bought by Shen Junqian for 6,800 yuan, saving a lot of money for her, He Ting, and Zhou Yanfeng and his wife.
Fortunately, the house that Professor Gu originally bought was well preserved because of the haunting, so it didn't cost much to repair it.
Lu Baiwei and the others discussed that regarding the public troops repairing the house, they should invest corresponding funds in the repairs according to their investment ratio.
As for the rooms allocated to each family, they are personal assets and they have to pay for their own repairs.
Then they took turns sending people to take care of the house renovation work.
A few days ago, He Ting, Zhou Yanfeng and Shen Junqian all went to supervise the renovation of the house. These two days it was Tang Yuanyang's turn to run back and forth between the school and the house.
A week has passed and the renovation of the house should be in the final stage. After the renovation is completed, Lu Baiwei plans to buy furniture and daily necessities and move in, so that she can bring the triplets to live here during the winter and summer vacations.
Because Tang Yunling's last pharmacology class was delayed by the teacher, Lu Baiwei was still waiting for Tang Yunling to finish class in the school corridor, and Tang Yuanyang ran over in a hurry.
"Weiwei, Master Yi, who was renovating our house, sent someone to tell us that he was quitting and asked us to go to his house."
Lu Baiwei was very surprised.
The Master Yi who was renovating the house was hired by Zhou Yanfeng and He Ting after he had inquired about his background.
He is a very responsible person and has a good reputation among his neighbors.
Lu Baiwei guessed that it was related to the evil spirit of the house.
She asked Tang Yuanyang: "He just said he was quitting? Did he have anything else to say?"
"Yes, he said that the house was very evil and if he continued to do that, he would die."
Is it that serious?
Could it be true that the house is haunted as the neighbor aunties said that day?
In fact, regarding the neighbors' talk about the haunted house, Lu Baiwei already had some guesses and judgments in her mind when she heard Zhou Yanfeng talking about Professor Gu's life.
After Tang Yunling finished class, Lu Baiwei waited for He Ting, Zhou Yanfeng and others to rush to the house together.
Hearing that the house was haunted, Lu Baiwei and the others had a headache. Being haunted was not the scary thing. What was scary was that the master in charge of the repairs was unwilling to take the job, and they had to find someone else.
What if other masters hear what their neighbors say and become unwilling to do the job?
You can't do it yourself!
If it's a house in the countryside, as long as it can be lived in, there's nothing wrong with doing it yourself.
If you really do the renovation on this courtyard house with its carved beams and painted buildings yourself, you will end up destroying the well-preserved house.
Lu Baiwei and the others were still thinking about how to solve the problem, only Tang Yunling was excited when he heard that the house was haunted.
She took Zhou Yanfeng's hand and said, "Xiao Yanzi, let's stay here tonight!"
"I want to see what a ghost looks like."
When Tang Yunling talked about seeing ghosts, his eyes sparkled with excitement.
Zhou Yanfeng felt a headache because of his wife's natural stupidity and boldness.
"Don't make trouble. Wait until we enter the house and listen to what Master Yi has to say."
"All right!"
Tang Yunling was helpless: "I still think catching ghosts is quite interesting. I have seen everything, but I have never seen a ghost."
"There's a weird old man in our school, right? I went back to the dormitory that night and he was hiding in the dark. I got really scared."
"I thought I had seen a ghost, so I went to catch him, but after a while I found out he was an old man."
Zhou Yanfeng: “…”
Zhou Yanfeng was also thinking about how to deal with the house, and did not think of the strange old man as his own grandfather.
He's had a rough week.
My own father actually became a professor in their history department.
Sitting in the classroom listening to his lecture, he and the old man had to pretend that they didn't know each other. Who knows how that feels?
The school was not far from the house they bought in Bingjiao Hutong. After crossing a street and walking deeper into the alley for a while, they found themselves standing at the door of the house.
Master Yi was terrified and was sitting at the door waiting for them.
Seeing them coming, Master Yi stood up.
"The renovation of the house is almost complete, except for the wooden carved windows that we ordered, which have not yet been installed. You can find someone who can install windows to do it later."
Master Yi scratched his head apologetically and said, "Can you pay me the wages? We will pay 80% of the price we agreed on. As for the remaining work and cleaning, you can find someone to do it yourself."
"It's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that your house is too weird."
Tang Yunling's eyes lit up: "What's this weird method?"
"Is this house haunted?"
Lu Baiwei: “…”
What's her cousin's train of thought?
She is the type of person who loves adventure since childhood.
After exchanging a glance with He Ting, Lu Baiwei began to negotiate with Master Yi.
"There is no problem with the settlement of wages, but according to what we agreed at the beginning, in addition to the deposit given in advance, the rest of the payment will be paid after the completion of the work."
Lu Baiwei negotiated with Master Yi in a very organized manner: "It's almost finished now, except for the last little bit. The windows haven't been replaced and the scaffolding in the yard hasn't been set up. You suddenly want to stop working and pay us, you have to give us a reason!"
"Master Yi, have you taken on a job from another company?"
