After listening to Xu Kai's story, I pursed my lips and suddenly didn't know how to comfort him. After hesitating for a while, I patted him on the shoulder and said a few words of comfort.

Xu Kai smiled bitterly, but did not stop moving his hands. He kept stirring the noodles in the pot with chopsticks. After a while, the noodles were cooked and came out of the pot. I quickly held the rice bowl and went over to serve the noodles.

The place for lunch was very simple, just a small square table placed in the middle of the yard. Xu Kai, Xu Kai's mother and I sat around the table and ate contentedly.

Xu Kai's mother had already brought a bowl of noodles to Xu Kai's father before she ate. It could be seen that although Xu Kai's father was injured and unable to move, he was still very self-reliant.

Unlike other patients, after getting sick, he becomes languid, unable to cheer up, and needs endless care from his family.

"Um, Mom." At the dinner table, Xu Kai held the noodles that were about to bottom out and suddenly said to the woman. The woman was eating her meal seriously, but when Xu Kai called her like this, she also raised her head and looked at her: "

What's wrong? Have you finished eating? Do you need mom to get you another bowl?"

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Xu Kai couldn't help crying and shook his head. I chuckled to the side. This woman has quite a sense of humor.

"I want to say something." Then, Xu Kai told the woman what I told him about Feng Shui and the renovation of the house. The woman listened and frowned tightly.

The worries in her heart must be the same as those of Xu Kai at that time, all because of money.

After Xu Kai said that the contractor was someone I knew and could get a slightly cheaper price, the woman looked relieved. "Then since Xiao Kai agreed, let me come and take a look. Since Xiao Yang is interested in

If there is research in this area, please ask Xiaoyang for help."

The first half of the woman's sentence was addressed to Xu Kai, and the second half was directed to me.

"Don't worry, Auntie, just leave it to me." I patted my chest with my right hand holding the chopsticks, looking confident.

After the meal, the woman continued to go out to work as a temporary worker, while Xu Kai returned to the house to take care of his father. He couldn't leave his uncle alone in the house.

I also entered the house with Xu Kai and started chatting with Xu Kai's father. Xu Kai's father was obviously very interested in Xu Kai's high school life and asked me many things about that time.

I tried my best to answer Xu Kai's father's questions one by one based on my own memories. I even told some funny jokes casually in order to make Xu Kai's father listen more happily.

Throughout the afternoon, bursts of noisy laughter could be heard from time to time in the room.

It wasn't until late afternoon that the contractor called and said he had arrived at the door. Xu Kai and I then exited the house. Xu Kai's father waved to us, turned over and covered himself with the quilt, as if he was going to sleep.

Walking to the gate with Xu Kai, we both saw a middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Hi, Lao Wang, long time no see." I immediately went up to say hello warmly. Since I told Xu Kai that I was very familiar with the contractor, how could I not do the basic thing?

The contractor, Lao Wang, also looked at me very cooperatively, grinning, showing his yellow teeth: "Xiaoyang, you kid actually asked me to come to such a remote place."

Lao Wang said without scruples, but Xu Kai lowered his head in embarrassment. I quickly winked at Lao Wang, and Lao Wang waved his hand: "What? Who do you want me to help this time?"

Lao Wang is also a drama star. He took a few steps towards me and, taking advantage of his height of about 1.8 meters, put his arm on my shoulders. This showed that we have a really good relationship with him.

I twitched the corner of my mouth and smiled at Xu Kai: "Hurry up, why are you standing there in a daze? Take Lao Wang to see your house first."

Hearing what I said, Xu Kaicai nodded repeatedly and gestured to invite Lao Wang into the house. I followed closely behind the two of them, and together with them we searched the whole house again.

After looking at the house this time, even Lao Wang, who usually did private work to help others renovate the house, saw something. However, he abided by the agreement and no matter what he saw, he did not say it in front of Xu Kai.

But afterwards, when he was about to leave, he whispered in my ear and told me that there was something wrong with the layout of Xu Kai's family, and it was completely arranged in reverse.

I smiled bitterly and nodded: "If I hadn't seen this, I wouldn't have invited you over to renovate it." Lao Wang smiled awkwardly and scratched his hair.

Returning to the gate, Lao Wang reported the cost to Xu Kai. Xu Kai was surprised when he heard that it only cost more than 10,000 yuan.

Lao Wang didn't give him a chance to respond, and continued: "We are just doing a rough renovation. Isn't your house all new? We don't need much manpower and material resources to renovate, so we don't have much money."

Xu Kai then bent slightly and thanked Lao Wang. After seeing off Lao Wang, Xu Kai expressed his gratitude to me for a while.

Looking at the palm held tightly by Xu Kai and the sad look on his face, I grinned and advised: "Everything will be fine, don't worry."

I was delayed at Xu Kai's house for a day, during which time I was very lucky that the crew didn't call me, and the bell didn't ring to bother me. On the way home, I actively called the crew first.

After getting the news from Mr. Zhao that "the crew is not busy", I also breathed a sigh of relief. Before going to bed at night, the contractor Lao Wang gave me a flash call.

On the phone, he revealed to me the exact construction cost, which was more than 150,000 yuan. While I said it was fine, I should call Lao Wang as soon as possible for half of the advance payment, while I rummaged around anxiously.

The number in the phone.

I hesitated for a long time on Ye Wudao's phone call. Ye Wudao is a man of bad words. If I borrow money from him, Master Xiao Tong will definitely know about it and reprimand me for spending money indiscriminately.

Although Master Xiao Tong is a kind person, he is extremely serious about spending money. Regardless of any reason, as long as someone in his family spends a lot of money one after another, he will use "strong" means to curb the spending.

For example, the task list in the door will no longer be assigned to this person.

"Ah, I'm still counting on the pocket money for doing the mission. I can't fight. I can't fight. This guy Ye Wudao will definitely tell me." I pressed down the screen of my phone and covered my phone and said hurriedly.

Just when I was hesitant, the door to the bedroom was pushed open, and Lingdang came in holding a notebook. "Dad, what are you doing?"

Seeing my strange behavior of covering the phone, Lingdang asked.
