Then they looked around the house and continued, "A lot of thought went into building this old house."
"At the moment, there is no need for major repairs. We just need to replace some damaged tiles and paint the columns."
"However, you still have to add these, so it definitely cannot be completed before the Chinese New Year. It would be more appropriate to do it after the Chinese New Year."
Si Yueyue nodded when she heard this. She had originally thought of starting things after the New Year: "Then let's finish the Lantern Festival before we start."
Wu Li nodded: "Okay, we will start transporting the goods here early in the morning the day after the Lantern Festival. You can open the door in advance and wait for us."
"Okay, I'll trouble Uncle Wu and Uncle Li then. How should we calculate the fee? Should we pay half first or..."
The two men waved their hands and said with a smile: "This house has been abandoned for so long, we uncles are willing to fix it for you even if we don't charge any money."
"Yes, every time I pass by, I worry that this house will be abandoned in the future. Before, I asked Lao Zhou to open the door so that we can repair it directly."
"If we continue to leave it like this, I'm worried that the Wen family's old house will not be able to be preserved. I never thought that you would come back not long after I said that."
"Now that the Wen family's old house has been taken over by descendants, we can rest assured..."
When Si Yueyue heard what the two said, she looked at Zhou Jianjun in confusion, and the latter explained after noticing it.
"They are all children of your grandfather's good friend. All the repairs to the house in the future will be done by the elders of their two families."
"When I told them to come and fix up the house, they thought I had figured it out."
"Hahaha... Yeah, we thought at the time that Old Zhou had come to his senses and couldn't bear to see the house abandoned and ruined, but we didn't expect him to say that the descendants of the Wen family had returned."
"We all wanted to see you after hearing that, but he stopped us. Now the older generation in the neighborhood know that you're back and they all want to see you."
Zhou Jianjun looked at Si Yueyue, who was getting more and more confused, and continued to explain: "Your grandfather and your great-grandfather are well-known philanthropists here."
“Almost no one here doesn’t recognize them, and everyone has a good relationship with each other.”
The man called Uncle Wu nodded when he heard this, and then took over Zhou Jianjun's words.
"Yes, the Wen family often helped families in need. In that era, they saved countless lives."
"Our Wu family was supported by Mr. Wen in the past, which is why we have the Wu family. Otherwise, the Wu family would have been cut off long ago."
"Well, that's how your Uncle Wu got his name. In order to let them remember the kindness of the Wen family, his old man named him Wu Nian'en."
"There were many other people who remembered the Wen family's kindness in saving their lives. Later, when Uncle Wen lived alone in the old house, they all volunteered to be his security guards."
"Alas, no matter how hard I tried to protect him, I couldn't keep him alive. He left early. Good people don't live long..."
"Forget it, forget it. It's better not to talk about some past events. You just need to know that we are willing to contribute to you and the Wen family."
"Yes, you absolutely cannot refuse. This is our wish."
Si Yueyue's eyes became moist as she listened to what the three people said.
"Thank you, uncles. However, I think my great-grandfather and grandfather may not need anything in return from you. They just did what they could."
"If they still have spirits and know that I accepted everyone's rewards, they will definitely be angry with me. Maybe they will even curse me in my dreams."
"Don't worry, Uncle Wen and the others will definitely not scold you. After all, this is our own request. Even if you give us money, we won't accept it..."
