Chapter 279 Deliberately - The Sickly Young Auntie's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

The next day, neither Cen Xi nor Lin Qing got up early. They both woke up after eight or nine o'clock.

Cen Xi once again showed his love for his daughter-in-law in front of Aunt Zhou. He started busying himself as soon as he got up, from making breakfast to hanging out clothes to clean the room. He was particularly active today.

Every time I passed by the door, I would take a few more glances at Aunt Zhou who was sitting at the door. Even if Aunt Zhou didn't understand at first, she would understand after coming a few times.

She felt so aggrieved. She felt that she did nothing wrong. Those jobs were supposed to be done by women. What was wrong with her?

Aunt Su also saw it to some extent, and said sarcastically: "Aunt Zhou, you just don't have much experience. You will get used to it after seeing it twice."

However, Aunt Zhou thought that Aunt Su was a kindred spirit, so she wanted to gain recognition from her. "Aunt Su, do you think I'm wrong? If your son were still alive, you would not want him to do these houseworks at home every day, right?"

Aunt Zhou's words offended others again. Aunt Su rolled her eyes in front of her and said, "What does it have to do with you? You are so nosy! Who do you think you are? Everyone has to listen to you!"

"I..." Aunt Zhou wanted to say something else, but Aunt Su had already gone back to her room. She opened her mouth, but could only swallow it back in frustration.

After Lin Qing got up, Cen Xi deliberately showed his thoughtfulness by personally squeezing toothpaste for her, handing her a glass of water, and then fetching a basin of water for her to wash her face.

Aunt Zhou was almost shocked. She had never met such a considerate man.

It's not like Lin Qing had not been served like this before, but before that the things were placed directly in the house, not handed to her directly at the door like now.

Lin Qing glanced at Aunt Zhou and instantly understood what he meant. She did not refuse but took it very naturally.

After helping Lin Qing finish washing her face, Cen Xi personally brought breakfast to her. In order to show off in front of Aunt Zhou, Cen Xi even brought breakfast to the next room.

Aunt Zhou couldn't understand it, but she felt a little jealous.

"Qingqing, eat! I'll be out for a while."

"What else do you want to do?" Lin Qing thought he wanted to show something else.

"Haha! That's all, that's all. I won't bother myself any more. I'll go find someone to help us build the kang next door."

"Oh!" Lin Qing stopped asking him and said, "Go ahead!"

Cen Xi originally planned to go out and look for her, but then he thought that there was probably no one around here who was more familiar with her than Aunt Li, so he went straight to the backyard to look for Aunt Li.

"Mr. Cen, why are you here?"

"Auntie Li, I came here specifically to see you."

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing. I just want to ask if there is anyone around here who knows how to repair kangs." Cen Xi asked directly.

"kang?"

"Yes!" Cen Xi nodded.

"Why are you repairing the kang out of the blue? Is it the one you two are staying in?"

Cen Xi shook his head. "No, Qingqing and I are planning to build a kang in the kitchen so that my father-in-law and mother-in-law will have a place to stay when they come over."

"Oh! So that's how it is! Then you're right to come to me. I'm very familiar with this place. How about I take you to find someone right now? I just happen to know one."

"Okay! Thank you so much."

"No, no, we're just neighbors, what's there to thank for?"

"We're just neighbors, what's there to thank for?" Grandpa Li also said with a smile.

Cen Xi did not say anything more to refuse, but directly took out a few White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and distributed them to the children in the room, "Come, uncle will give you some candies to sweeten your mouths."

The child looked at the White Rabbit candy and swallowed his saliva. He did not take it immediately but looked at his grandparents.

Aunt Li and Grandpa Li didn't think much about it, and Cen Xi didn't give them a lot of candies, just a few, so they didn't feel burdened to accept them.

After getting permission, the children immediately took the candy and were all very happy.

"Let's go. I'll take you to find someone." Aunt Li didn't plan to delay.

"good!"

Aunt Li took Cen Xi out of the yard and went to the street in front.

"We're here. Come on, I'll take you inside to find someone."

This is also a courtyard with two entrances. Aunt Li brought Cen Xi to look for a resident here.

"Brother Xu, are you there?"

"Sister-in-law Li, why are you here?" Master Xu walked out of the house.

"I came to ask for your help."

These words also made Master Xu hear the hidden meaning in them.

"Who needs my help?" Master Xu also saw Cen Xi. He noticed him as soon as he walked out. His temperament was so attractive.

"Look, that's the guy next to me! He's from the same compound as me."

"Hello, Master Xu!"

Grandpa Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call my eldest and second sons and we'll go!"

Soon afterwards, the group returned to the compound.

Aunt Zhou watched Aunt Li and Cen Xi go out and come back, followed by a few people she had never seen before, and she felt curious.

However, since she had just made a joke yesterday, she did not dare to ask more questions and could only watch silently.

Lin Qing walked out after Cen Xi and the others came back. The Xu family's father and son were stunned. They didn't expect that this man had such outstanding temperament and his wife was even more eye-catching.

Cen Xi quickly blocked their line of sight and said, "Go back to your room first! I'll take care of everything!"

When Lin Qing saw Cen Xi's slightly raised mouth corners, she knew that this man was jealous. She didn't confront him and turned around and went back.

The Xu family's father and son also came back to their senses after Cen Xi's actions.

Aunt Li smiled aside.

"Engineer Cen, please take them to see where the kang needs to be repaired!"

"Okay! Master Xu, you guys follow me."

Both parties silently skipped over the scene just now.

"good!"

Cen Xi took them into the kitchen.

The kitchen really looked empty. Cen Xi pointed at the room he had cleaned out early in the morning and said, "Master Xu, we are planning to build a kang here."

"This piece of land is neither big nor small. I guess it's not as big as other people's houses."

Cen Xi thought that two people should be able to sleep on it, but he still had to ask a professional master, "Master Xu, this kang doesn't need to be too big, just enough for two people to sleep on it."

"Okay, that's fine." Grandpa Xu measured with his eyes and found that this place was just enough to build a kang big for two people.

"Are you going to provide the materials, or are we responsible for it?" Mr. Xu asked as per custom.

"Can you guys also take charge of the materials?" Cen Xi thought it would be best if they could finish it all at once.

"Yes, but it will be more expensive."

"How many?"

"10 bucks!"

"Okay, no problem. Do you think you can get it done today?"

"Sure, no problem." Seeing that the employer was so straightforward, Mr. Xu also agreed very readily.

"Okay, then Master Xu, I'll leave it to you."

"Okay! You pay half of the deposit first, and the rest of the balance will be paid after everything is done."

"Okay!" Cen Xi took out the money from his pocket and gave it to him five yuan.
