At the critical moment, Fu Jiusi grabbed a branch as thick as his wrist and hung on the tree with his tall body.
There was no panic on his face. He looked at her with a faint smile, "Are you worried about me?"
Hua Qi was still in shock, her heart pounding.
After calming down, she glared at him angrily, "Are you kidding me?!"
"I can only say that I'm agile and quick-witted." Fu Jiusi let go and landed lightly on the ground.
He carried the ladder to another tree on the east side, stuck it into the fork, and climbed up the tree with the same ease and casualness.
The words of warning him to be careful went around in his mouth before he swallowed them.
Once you open your mouth, you will definitely be met with his harsh words.
It’s better not to provoke this naughty fox.
But her eyes couldn't help but follow him.
My heart was in my throat, beating fast, afraid that he would miss the opportunity.
My uncle walked around the house and returned to the backyard.
Seeing Fu Jiusi carelessly stepping on the tree branch without using his hands to hold on, his uncle reminded him, "Be careful, you could fall.
Fu Jiusi deliberately swayed and pretended to fall.
The uncle was so scared that he cried out "ouch".
Hua Qi's heart also skipped a beat.
He looked over at me with a playful look in his eyes, "Someone will be responsible if you fall."
Hua Qi picked up a branch and threw it at him, "Get down here now!"
"Hey, Qiqi, don't bother him," her uncle stopped her and spoke for her, "He's in danger up there."
My uncle walked to the east wall with his hands behind his back and looked up at the junction of the branches and tiles.
"There's nothing wrong with the main structure of the house. It's just that a few tiles have been pushed off by branches. Just patch them up."
"Also, there are some gaps in the foundation at the northwest corner, which needs to be filled and reinforced with concrete."
"Once these repairs are complete, clean the house inside and out and apply a coat of waterproof paint."
"After this renovation, if people continue to live here, there will be no need for further repairs within five years."
"But it's hard to say if it's vacant. Our climate is humid, and wooden houses deteriorate easily."
"If people don't live there, weeds will grow and snakes and insects will be attracted."
"At the beginning of this spring, I came here to spray herbicides. Look at me now," the uncle pointed around, "the weeds are half a meter tall."
Hua Qi nodded and said, "I plan to find an agent to list it and find a long-term tenant who suits my taste."
"Don't you plan to sell it?" asked the uncle.
Hua Qi's eyes suddenly turned red, and her voice was choked when she spoke.
"This house is the only connection between me and my brother. If I sell it, he won't be able to find his home when he comes back."
Fu Jiusi felt a pang of choking in his chest, and the axe he had raised stopped in mid-air.
After a moment, he continued to swing his axe and trim the branches, as if he had not heard anything.
The uncle sighed slightly, "I always heard your grandma talking about Ah Yue, but she didn't get to see him before she died."
"Don't be anxious," the uncle looked at me kindly and comforted me, "When the time comes, we will meet again."
The uncle turned to look at Fu Jiusi and said, "You guys trim the trees here first. I'll go to the market to buy some cement and gravel."
"I have it in my car," Fu Jiusi said, holding onto a branch and stretching his body, then landing lightly on the ground.
As he walked, he lifted the hem of his T-shirt to wipe the sweat off his face, revealing his strong abdominal muscles, which looked rugged and sexy. He was simply a walking hormone.
When she met his gaze, Hua Qi lowered her eyes in panic and pretended to pick up a branch to cover up her embarrassment.
As he passed by her, Fu Jiusi raised his hand and patted the back of her head, "Come and help."
The deep voice entered her ears, as if it had cast a spell on her, and her legs followed it unconsciously.
She was as obedient as his tail, following him out of the yard and coming to the door of Biyunxuan.
Fu Jiusi opened the trunk, picked up a bag of cement, shouldered it, and strode back.
Looking at his strong and muscular back, Hua Qi asked blankly, "What can I help you with?"
Fu Jiusi said nothing, but just waved at her with his back to her.
She always felt that he was up to no good, but after all, he was helping her repair the house, so she still followed him.
