Chapter 47 Chapter 47 A moment later, Xia Li thought...
Xia Li went out, opened the door, glanced at Jiang Dong who was standing at the door, and said, "Come in."
Jiang Dong nodded, and then stepped into the place where Xia Li and Jiang Zai lived for the first time.
What comes into view is a yard full of vegetables and fruit trees.
He stopped and asked, "Were they all planted by your aunt? I've never heard you mention your aunt before."
Xia Li was walking in front and turned around when she heard it. "Yes, they were all grown by my aunt. It's convenient to grow food at home, and there's such a big yard. You haven't heard me talk about my aunt before, maybe it's because we didn't have much contact back then."
Jiang Dong nodded casually, and suddenly asked: "Isn't Jiang Zai at home? Your aunt is not at home either?" After saying that, he looked at Xia Li, looking at her without any mistake in his eyes.
Charlie took several steps back at his gaze. "What are you doing? I'm telling you, even though we're not divorced yet, we're already separated, okay? I'll just call the neighbors and they'll all come over."
After she finished threatening, she found that Jiang Dong was still unmoved. He just kept looking at her without saying anything. Xia Li felt uneasy.
Just when she didn't know what to do, Jiang Dong snorted, and then walked straight past Xia Li. He flicked her forehead with his index finger and walked away.
"What are you thinking about? What's the leak in the house? Tell me quickly, or else someone will see me here and ruin all your plans."
Jiang Dong didn't even turn around, threw these words behind him, and walked forward.
Charlie covered her forehead which was hurt by the bullet and stared at the person in front of her fiercely from behind, almost getting so angry that smoke came out of her nose.
Asshole Jiang Dong, he actually made her feel so painful when he hit her. It turned out that he didn't know how to feel pain now that he was no longer a family member. How could he dare to do this before? I had to hit him to death.
Charlie was furious, but she couldn't kick him out at this moment. She had to wait until he finished his work and then kick him out immediately, without even giving him water to drink. Humph.
She also rushed forward and bumped into him with half of her body. Jiang Dong was caught off guard and was almost knocked into the vegetable field by Xia Li's momentum.
After stumbling for a moment, Jiang Dong steadied himself, then looked at Xia Li and found that she was secretly smiling with triumph, but when she saw him looking at her, she quickly put away her smug smile.
"Come here quickly. You can't even walk carefully. How can we expect you to go up and repair the roof?" Xia Li was worried that Jiang Dong would "retaliate" against her again, so she quickly reminded him that he still had important things to do.
Then she pointed to the things in the corridor and said, "Come and see if these are enough."
It is a material for repairing house leaks.
Jiang Dong didn't have the desire to "retaliate" as Xia Li thought. He went over, bent down and dug a few times, and saw waterproof paint and waterproof gauze inside.
"I'll check to see how badly the house is leaking. If it's not serious, these things will be enough."
After hearing this, Xia Li took Jiang Dong to the living room and pointed at the mark on it. "Look, it's right there. The crack is quite long."
When Jiang Dong came in, he casually glanced around the room without being impolite. After looking at the crack that Xia Li pointed out, he asked her if there were any cracks elsewhere.
"The roofs of the other rooms are fine, but the window in my room seems a little loose," said Charlie.
Jiang Dong: "Okay, let's talk about the window later. I'll go up and take a look at the situation on the roof first. I'll go up from that side, right?" He pointed to a place outside the house.
There was a staircase there. Jiang Dong had noticed it before, but it seemed to be on the other side of the fruit tree, so ordinary people might not notice it.
Charlie nodded, "Yeah, that's it."
Jiang Dong said nothing after that. He left the living room and quickly climbed up the stairs to the roof. The crack on the roof was indeed very obvious. After calculating the distance, he knew it was the crack in the living room that was causing the leak. After looking at it, he walked around the roof and found other cracks of varying sizes in other locations.
Charlie didn't go up. She stood in the yard waiting, occasionally looking up, although she couldn't see anything.
Jiang Dong stood at the edge of the roof and called down to Xia Li: "Xia Li, do you have a shovel or something like that at home?"
Xia Li walked back a few steps and saw Jiang Dong standing there. She replied, "It should be there. I'll look for it."
She ran to the utility room and looked in the toolbox left by her uncle. She found one that almost fit the bill and took it out to let him see if it was suitable.
Jiang Dong also came down at this time. He took a look at the tools Xia Li brought and said, "It's not suitable. Don't you have anything else?"
"I can't find anything else. Is this really not usable?"
Charlie looked at the thing in her hand, a shovel or something, can't this also be used to shovel things?
Jiang Dong glanced at her and patiently explained to her, "If you want to repair the roof better, you have to scrape off the unevenness on it, and then apply new materials to make it stick firmly. So I have to find a shovel to scrape off the dirt on it."
When Xia Li heard that it was not possible, she knew that she had to do it the best she could. She had to find the shovel. "Okay, I'll keep looking."
At this time, Jiang Dong glanced casually and said, "Don't look for it anymore, this one will do."
Xia Li turned her head and saw that it was Jiang Dong who went to the vegetable garden and picked up a small shovel that her aunt used to weed.
"Is this okay?" Charlie looked puzzled.
"As long as it's better than yours."
Then Jiang Dong asked where the broom was, and went up to the roof with these things.
This time, Charlie followed him to see what he was going to do.
The first thing Jiang Dong did when he got to the roof was to use a small shovel to shovel at the gap, removing the dirt and other debris piled on it, and then he took a broom and cleaned it carefully.
Fortunately, it had just rained, so there wasn't much dry dust, so it was easier to clean.
After completing the preliminary work, he began to apply a layer of waterproof paint with a brush, then put a layer of waterproof gauze on it, and after it dried a little, he applied another layer.
Charlie watched intently from the side.
"What? Do you want to steal my skills?" Jiang Dong asked Xia Li while working, his tone obviously joking.
"I've already stolen it. It's so easy. I can do it just by looking at it."
Jiang Dong lowered his head, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, shook his head and smiled helplessly, but no one noticed.
When he finished this seam, he stood up and stretched his shoulders.
Suddenly, Jiang Dong turned his head to look at a nearby building. A man on the roof was looking over here. He didn't look offensive at all, and it looked like he was also preparing to work on the roof, with tools placed beside him.
He thought that this family should be known to Xia Li, but he didn't know how to greet them. He just nodded slightly and called Xia Li.
A sound.
"Xia Li, get up and see who's over there?"
Jiang Dong raised his chin in Xia Li's direction and said, "See it? There."
"Um?"
Who is it?
Xia Li stood up and looked in the direction Jiang Dong pointed. "Oh, it's Aunt Zhong's son. He's the one who sent the paint."
Now that everyone had seen each other, Xia Li greeted them openly, "Brother Zhong, are you starting today too?"
"Yeah. This is the person you invited to help. How did you do it?" The person on the other end asked loudly, asking Jiang Dong.
When Xia Li heard someone ask this, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Dong, then walked towards the roof of her house, got closer, and told Brother Zhong about Jiang Dong's approach.
"Hey, let me try it too."
Everyone had work to do and didn't say much.
Xia Li came back and saw Jiang Dong working on something else.
She walked over and saw that there was indeed a gap, and it was above the bedroom. It was really thanks to Jiang Dong's carefulness, otherwise if it leaked again next time, it would still be a troublesome matter.
Since he was so attentive, Xia Li felt that she couldn't lag behind, so she passed something to him, such as taking out some waterproof gauze.
The two people stayed in the same place, quite close to each other.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhong family also came up to help her husband. After coming up, she saw her husband scraping with something, so she asked him what he was doing.
"I just asked Aunt Xia's family next door. The person they hired said so. I think it's okay."
After hearing this, his wife looked towards the Xia family and saw two people busy on the roof.
A man and a woman.
"Eh? Look, don't these two people look quite interesting? Why don't they look like hired workers?"
Zhong Kang glanced at his wife and said as a matter of course: "Who told you that if you need someone, you have to hire a worker? Can't you just ask a colleague or a friend?"
"That's even more bizarre. A male colleague and friend came to help out at home, and you say there's nothing wrong with that? I think there must be something wrong with Xia Li. Otherwise, why wouldn't anyone want to meet her after all the neighbors introduced her to him? Having said that, she's really capable. She's bringing a child with her and still managed to find such a handsome guy. What a tall guy!"
When Zhong Kang heard his wife talking about the end again, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, go away. I don't need any help here. You're just causing me trouble."
The child is so old now, and the topic of height has started to arise again. His wife has been so worried about their son's height that she can't sleep well at night. She also blames him, saying that it's all because of his poor foundation as a father.
Although Zhong Kang felt that he was indeed not as tall as others, he was not short among the locals. Every place has its own genes. Why should he compare himself with others?
The Zhong couple naturally wouldn't discuss others loudly, so Jiang Dong and Xia Li didn't know that someone was discussing their relationship not far away.
It took Jiang Dong quite a while to fix all the big and small gaps on the roof. Xia Li also walked around to check but didn't find any other ones.
She clapped her hands excitedly, "It's done!"
Seeing that Jiang Dong had indeed tried his best and his hands were covered in dust, Xia Li decided to get him a bottle of drink herself.
The two of them walked down the stairs one after the other. There was a faucet in the yard. Xia Li ran to wash her hands first, then called Jiang Dong to wash them over, and ran into the living room.
"It's only been over an hour, you worked pretty fast!" She came out and handed a bottle of drink to Jiang Dong, "Try it, it's a coconut-flavored drink. It tastes good to me, and your son likes it too."
Jiang Dong reached out to take it, turned it around, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.
Xia Li was standing in front of him. She saw Jiang Dong tilting his neck back, his Adam's apple rolling, and gulping down half a bottle of drink.
Jiang Dong finished drinking it and said, "It tastes really good."
He also checked the time on his wrist and said, "I wonder when your aunt will be back. Otherwise, I can help you fix the window." He also knew Xia Li's concerns and said, "Let me know when you need me. I'll take a look and then leave first. Otherwise, you don't know when your aunt and Jiangzai will be back."
After Jiang Dong finished speaking, he started walking out without waiting for Xia Li to say anything.
He left so smoothly that Xia Li suddenly felt that she was a little unkind, but it was not easy to stop him. Could it be that he really wanted to keep him for tea and a meal?
She followed behind and escorted him out the door. Jiang Dong stopped outside the door, looked at Xia Li, and said nothing.
Charlie was also silent.
After a moment, Xia Li thought Jiang Dong was going to say something, but he asked, "What about your uncle?"
