Chapter 8 Repairing the Roof

Shen Jiale felt much better after putting down the heavy stone in her heart. She even walked with lighter steps and hummed softly.

She thought of Lu Mingfeng crediting her with work points.

Lu Mingfeng had helped her in her last life, and she had to repay him in this life.

She remembered that there would be a heavy rain in three days. The rainfall was very heavy, and many people's houses were flooded. Lu's house was an old house, and not only was there water in the house, but the roof was also leaking.

Lu's mother fell ill that time, and Shen Jiale only found out about it when the Lu family incident became a big deal.

It seemed that Lu's father lent the family's money to his eldest brother's family, which resulted in Lu's mother having no money to see a doctor.

Lu Mingfeng went to his uncle's house to ask for money but failed to get it, so he smashed his uncle's house.

When he sees Lu Mingfeng again, he must remind him.

Before he could go back, Shen Jiale saw someone at the intersection in the town.

Lu Mingfeng was sitting in a mule in the village. When he saw Shen Jiale, he jumped out of the car with a look of joy.

Shen Jiale was the first to greet him: "What a coincidence, I meet you again."

Lu Mingfeng said: "We are going back, you come up and go with us."

Shen Jiale got on the mule, and the mule started moving. Uncle Chen, who was catching up, said to Lu Mingfeng: "You promised to cut grass for me for ten days, so you are not allowed to default on the debt!"

Lu Mingfeng glanced at Shen Jiale embarrassedly and said to Uncle Chen: "Uncle Chen, don't worry , when did my Lu Mingfeng ever default on a bill?"

Shen Jiale asked, "Don't you have a bicycle? Why don't you ride it?"

Uncle Chen said in front, "He doesn't have a bicycle. There are only two bicycles in our village, one owned by the village chief and the other by the team leader. The village chief's bicycle is not available to ordinary people, but the team leader's bicycle can be borrowed by villagers in emergencies occasionally."

So that's it.

On the way, Shen Jiale mentioned that the village chief said it was going to rain.

"The village chief said that this rain will be heavy and last for a long time, and I don't know if the Youth League Home will be flooded."

Uncle Chen said, "The Youth League Home is located on high ground, so it won't flood. But the roof needs to be checked, as it might leak."

Lu Mingfeng said, "I'll go back and get some yellow mud and dry grass to repair the roof of my house, and also fix the roof of the Youth League Home."

Shen Jiale smiled and thanked, "If the ground inside your house is lower than the outside, raise it a little, and the water won't flood in."

...

In the afternoon, after Lu Mingfeng finished his work, he went to pick up yellow mud and find dry grass. He first repaired the roof of his own house and raised the ground, and then went out with the rest.

Lu's mother Liang Qiaoli asked, "Where are you going with all this?"

Lu Mingfeng said, "The house where the educated youth live is very old. Anyway, we can't use these things. Give them to them."

Liang Qiaoli recently heard about her son helping the educated youth Shen with work. She hesitated for a moment and said to her son, "Mingfeng, the educated youth Shen is not something a family like ours can dream of."

Lu Mingfeng was silent for a moment and said, "Mom, you think too much. These educated youth from the city have never worked before. I'm going to help them just to prevent them from holding us back." Lu's younger sister

Lu Bailing came back and heard this. She didn't agree, "Second brother, why should I be afraid to admit this? I'm a woman, and I like the educated youth Shen. The books say that a graceful lady, A gentleman

seeks a wife . Which young man in the village would not like Shen Zhiqing after seeing him? A toad cannot eat the flesh of a swan, so it is not allowed to think about it." Liang Qiaoli patted her daughter lightly: "How can you say that about your second brother? Your second brother is not a toad.

" Lu Bailing smiled and said: "Then why don't you let your second brother covet Shen Zhiqing? Second brother is tall and mighty, what's wrong with him." Liang

Qiaoli said: "Don't say that Shen Zhiqing doesn't like him at all. Even if he is willing, can our family afford to support him?"

Lu Bailing looked at Lu Mingfeng and said: "Second brother, you heard it, it's not impossible. As long as you can afford to support Shen Zhiqing, you can still covet him."

Lu Mingfeng smiled at his sister and left the house with the wooden bucket.

...

When the educated youth came back from work, they saw someone climbing onto the roof. Wang Yanhong shouted, "Hurry up! Someone has climbed onto our roof and is doing something bad!"

The educated youth ran over one after another, shouting to get off.

Lu Mingfeng said to the people below, "The village chief said it will rain in a few days. My family has some yellow mud and dry grass left over from repairing the roof. I will help you repair the roof as well."

Lu Mingfeng helped Shen Jiale pull weeds and gave him work points for free, which prevented her from getting close to Shen Jiale. Wang Yanhong had a lot of complaints about him, so she was not in a good mood to be with Lu Mingfeng.

"Who knows what you are up to? The house was already repaired when we arrived. Besides, we are all six male educated youth. Even if we need to repair it, we can do it ourselves. We don't need your kindness."

The male educated youth had no objection to someone doing the work for them. After a day's work, everyone would be tired.

But Jiang Haoran stood up and said, "This is a small matter that we male educated youth can do. I won't bother you. You should come down."

Lu Mingfeng looked at Shen Jiale who had returned.

Shen Jiale said, "Listen to him, come down."

Lu Mingfeng was a little confused about what Shen Jiale meant, and explained, "There are several places that need to be repaired, otherwise it will leak when it rains."

There was no point in repairing it. After three days, the house would be uninhabitable. Why bother with that? Shen Jiale still asked Lu Mingfeng to come down.

Jiang Haoran was ecstatic. Shen Jiale seemed to have calmed down. She knew that he was her best choice and began to refuse Lu Mingfeng's help.

Lu Mingfeng came down from the ladder, and Shen Jiale asked him if the house at home had been repaired.

Lu Mingfeng nodded and said yes, but he still left the ladder, yellow mud and dry grass behind when he left.

Seeing that everyone had left, Jiang Haoran called on other male educated youth to go up and fix the roof. The male educated youth said they were tired and went back to the house.

He walked to the ladder and looked at Shen Jiale: "Shen Jiale, come and help me hold the ladder, I will help you fix the roof."

Shen Jiale rolled his eyes at him, thinking, I hope you fall to death! Then, he went into the house with the female educated youth to get food to cook, leaving Wang Yanhong alone.

Wang Yanhong hurried over to hold the ladder, deliberately shouting: "I'm here to help you, they are all heartless, you are helping them fix the roof, and they all ran away."

Tang Xiaotian came out and said: "No one forced him to repair the roof. Lu Mingfeng is already helping us. You two insisted on letting me come down, so you two can do it. It's time to cook, you two hurry up and bring the food "

The ladder suddenly shook. Jiang Haoran who climbed up the ladder and Wang Yanhong who was supporting him both exclaimed without hearing what Tang Xiaotian said.

Seeing that the two of them had no intention of coming down to get the food, Tang Xiaotian went into the house and said to the others: "They won't eat."

Wu Li was a little skeptical: "That's impossible."

Tang Xiaotian said: "They didn't come down to get the food. "Are you going to provide them with food?"

That's definitely not possible.

Wu Li didn't believe it and asked Sun Xiaoqin to go out and call Wang Yanhong.

Jiang Haoran was climbing to the rooftop carefully when Sun Xiaoqin suddenly called him Wang Yanhong. He was so startled that his foot slipped and he almost fell down.

Wang Yanhong scolded him, "Why are you shouting? Don't disturb me when there is nothing to do. You don't have many people to do the work. Why are you here to cause trouble?" One after another."

Sun Xiaoqin went back to the house angrily: "You all heard me shouting, but they thought I was making trouble."
