"W-What happened?"
Hua Shi was being stared at by four pairs of bright black eyes, feeling a little awkward. He was caught off guard when he heard Hua Li crying and was unable to react.
"Woo..."
Hua Li's eyes were red. She raised the back of her hand and wiped the tears from her face, crying sadly to herself.
Hua Shi noticed that among the four people, three were wearing new clothes, but Hua Yu, who was the oldest and dressed the thinnest, did not change into new clothes.
Seeing the three people wearing clothes that fit them perfectly, Hua Shi's thoughts paused again.
Xie Mingchi is so meticulous that he could even estimate these things...? The things he brought here are all suitable for their sizes...
Hua Xiao, who was sitting next to Hua Li, pursed her lips, her brows furrowed deeply, and her expression suddenly became dull. She spoke word by word, "The roof... is broken."
"What?"
Hua Shi trotted under the eaves amidst the falling snow. When he heard Hua Xiao's words, he thought he had misheard.
Hua Xiao turned her head and looked at her. She could see her eyes were red and she cried, "Our roof is broken."
"Why is the roof broken?" Hua Shi asked hurriedly.
She subconsciously looked up at the eaves above, then looked along the beams towards the main room. The door of Hua Yu's room was tightly closed, so she couldn't see what was going on inside.
Hua Xiao rubbed her eyes, wiping away the tears that threatened to flow, then sniffed and said, "There was too much snow, and we forgot to clear it in time. It broke the roof beams, and it collapsed."
Hua Shi looked back and saw that the four people's heads and clothes were covered with a lot of dust, which must have been caused by the collapse of the roof beams.
"Are you not hurt anywhere?" Hua Shi frowned unconsciously and asked with concern.
Hua Xiao shook his head blankly under her gaze.
The roof collapsed so suddenly that no one was hit. But neither she nor Hua Li was frightened. Then, a wave of anxious worry surged up...
There was a big hole in the roof, and in the heavy snow, where could they find someone to repair it? Even if someone was willing, they couldn't afford it...
They didn't know how to repair it either, and were at a loss, which made Hua Li sob and cry, and also made Hua Xiao's eyes red.
The coldest time of this winter is getting closer and closer. If the broken holes can't be repaired in time, the wind and snow will rush in, and they will have no way to keep warm. They may freeze to death...
"I'm glad no one was hurt. I'll go in and take a look."
Hua Shi breathed a sigh of relief. She first piled all the things in her hands at the door of her room, then turned around and pushed open the door next door.
The old and tattered little wooden door was only half-closed. She pushed it gently and it opened.
The big hole on the roof was very conspicuous, and the wind and snow outside were rushing in through the hole.
The big hole was facing the long kang bed. After a while, the quilt piled up in the corner of the kang bed was also stained with fine snow.
A thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the kang and the bumpy ground, making the house icy cold. If the large holes were not patched up, it would be uninhabitable...
Hua Shi took two steps into the house and looked up.
A broken beam, with a large hole in it, was particularly conspicuous. The broken half hung vertically overhead, looking poised to collapse at any moment...
"The hole is too big, there's no way to fix it now. I can only find someone to come and fix it."
Hua Shi stepped out from the main hall, walked outside the eaves, and spoke to the four people.
After hearing her words, Hua Xiao stood up suddenly, and his red eyes dimmed a little.
For some reason, she had been feeling anxious and uneasy ever since her second brother fell ill. She was at a loss, and Hua Shi stepped forward at this moment, making her, who was still young and at a loss, feel like she had found her backbone.
She herself hadn't even noticed that, after just a day or two, she had encountered an unsolvable problem, and the first person she thought of was Hua Shi...
There was nothing Hua Shi could do when she heard this. Her panic-stricken mood suddenly dropped to the lowest point.
Hua Li's sobbing sound came from behind his ear.
Hua Xiao also pursed her lips tightly, tears silently sliding down from her eyes...
what to do……
Hua Shi turned around and walked back into the main room, picked up the things outside the door frame, pushed open his door, and moved all the things inside.
The white fox and the black cat, who had been guarding the door of the house, heard Hua Shi's voice early on, but because of Hua Shi's repeated warnings at the beginning, the fox and the cat did not dare to run out easily without Hua Shi's permission.
Hua Shi pushed open the door, and the white fox and the black cat were sitting right in front of the door. Two pairs of animal eyes of different colors looked at Hua Shi excitedly.
"Shh, be good and don't scream."
As soon as Hua Shi opened the door, he bumped into two people, one big and one small. He reacted very quickly, lowered his voice, and immediately stopped them.
The clever cat and fox immediately understood Hua Shi's words. They wagged their fluffy tails, stood up, and turned around twice without making a sound.
Hua Shi's tense mood relaxed.
She quickly checked her house and found it was in the same condition as when she left. The collapsed roof next door had not affected her side.
Looking at it this way, things would be easier for her to solve.
There are many secrets hidden in her house. If she hires someone to repair it, she will have to expose all the things in her room.
Not to mention whether the things could be hidden, if Li happened to come back when she was repairing the roof... She couldn't predict whether Li would directly and forcefully search her house...
