Chapter 407 The Problem after the Rainstorm (1/3)
"The river is dangerous, you can't pass."
Xiao Chengfei, who is more than three years old, hunched his belly and akimbo unhappy, "Everyone is playing there? Why don't you let me go over and play?"
"The adults didn't see it. If you see it, you won't let them play."
After Mei Xiaolei grabbed Xiao Chengfei, he handed it to his sister. Mei Xiaoran took Xiao Chengfei and asked, "Where are your clothes? You won't run out in short shorts today?"
"The clothes were washed away by the river. You didn't see that I was panicking looking for clothes."
Mei Xiaoran suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. The clothes were afraid that the river would have washed away long ago. Xiao Chengfei must be unable to find the clothes.
"Your clothes were washed away by the river, I'm afraid they won't be found."
When Xiao Chengfei heard it, his mouth squashed, and he wanted to cry, "This is the clothes my dad brought me back from a business trip. If I lose my mom, I will have to kill me."
"I'll talk to your mother later, she won't hit you."
Mei Xiaoran knew that with her fourth aunt's temper, it was impossible not to do nothing, but now she can only comfort Xiao Chengfei with these words.
"Let's go, sister takes you into the house first to put on a dress. You will catch a cold if you have a naked stomach."
After bringing Cheng Fei into the house, Mei Xiaoran pulled out a long-sleeved shirt from the cabinet and put it on Xiao Cheng Fei. The clothes were really too big. It was put on Xiao Cheng Fei. He looked like a skirt. It's the calf, and the sleeves are more exaggerated.
Xiao Chengfei flicked his sleeves and called, "Sister, this dress is too long, I can't stretch out my hand."
"I'll hold it for you."
Mei Xiaoran rolled up his sleeves layer by layer, and Xiao Chengfei's arms were finally able to stretch out, so he didn't yell.
"Who was at home when you came out? I'll take you back now. I'll be anxious when your parents can't find you."
"When I came out, my dad was still sleeping in the house."
"Let's go."
Mei Xiaoran took Xiaocheng and flew out, intending to send him back, but saw the muddy water on the city wall, and the narrow path was even more difficult to walk, so he picked him up by taking advantage of the situation.
"Sister, you let me down, I can go by myself."
The conditions of the children of that era were not as good as those of later generations. Most of the children were raised in stock. No matter the family conditions are good or bad, the children are allowed to play by themselves during the holidays, adults.
I have to work and go to the ground every day. I really don’t have the energy to control my children.
"No, I'll carry you."
Mei Xiaoran went back with Cheng Fei on his back. From a distance, he saw Cheng Bin standing with his arms akimbo in the yard. He also wore a pair of half-length big shorts... The two of them are really the same.
When approaching the door, Xiao Chengfei struggled to jump off Mei Xiaoran's back, opened his arms and rushed towards Cheng Bin, "Dad, I'm back!"
Cheng Bin turned his head and saw that Mei Xiaoran was also coming, and he smiled embarrassedly, "Ran Ran, are you here too?"
"Four uncle, Xiao Chengfei just ran to the river to play. It rained and the river rose up. It is too dangerous to play by the river. Why don't you look at him?"
"The rain leaked in the house just now. I just looked at the house and didn't notice him."
Cheng Bin grabbed Xiao Chengfei and couldn't help but smile when he saw him wearing such a large shirt. "Why do you wear your sister's clothes? What about your clothes?"
Xiao Chengfei cried and said, "Dad, my clothes were washed away by the river, and I can't find it anymore."
"You just wait for your mother to come back and clean you up."
Cheng Bin said, still coaxing Xiao Cheng Fei who was about to cry, "See if you dare to go to the riverside to play in the future? You can even run your clothes. You are really capable."
"Father Si, when you turn around, you can talk to my Si aunt, tell her not to lose her temper, and don't beat Xiao Cheng Fei. Do you think Xiao Cheng Fei is scared?"
"Just your fourth aunt's temper is not easy to persuade."
Mei Xiaoran glanced into the room and was immediately startled, "Ah, fourth uncle, how did this roof break?"
"It just broke through the heavy rain."
Cheng Bin was also very helpless. When it rained heavily, he was sleeping in the house, when he heard a "gudong" sound, something fell, and he got up with a tremor in fright.
Only then did I see half a rafter falling on the floor in the middle of the hall. Fortunately, it fell on the hall. If it fell into the inner room, he would have to hit him.
"Why is this?"
"That's no way, the old house, it's too old, these rafters are already decayed."
Cheng Bin is also very helpless.
Now he is even more angry. No wonder his father and his mother said that he was going to give him this house, because his father and mother had already known that the house was fast.
It collapsed... It really never made him more angry than the calculations of his parents. I used a piece of homestead to replace two broken houses. The rafters of this house were rotten, and I was afraid that the house in the backyard could not be kept.
"Hey, I have to take a look at the backyard. I guess the house in the backyard is not much better."
Cheng Bin hugged Xiao Cheng Fei and went to the backyard, which was the old house of his grandparents. Before moving to the front yard, they lived in the backyard for a while.
Mei Xiaoran also followed him to the backyard.
The situation in the backyard was really similar to Cheng Bin's estimation. There were many rain leaks on the roofs of the two houses, several rafters fell off, and the main beam was broken.
"Father-uncle, look at your house, if it rains again, it would be too dangerous for you to live in."
"Well, this is not just trying to find a way. When your fourth aunt comes back in the afternoon, I will discuss with her again."
Cheng Bin said it was a discussion. In fact, he knew that this house is mostly not for adults. If it is to be repaired, it will have to be overhauled. The roof must be lifted up, re-topped, tiled... and the wall!
He turned to the back of the gable and looked at it. The gable made by adobe is now half covered, and the walls are peeled off in several places. Now it seems that it is not a matter of renovation. If you want to be safe and sound For those who live alive, this house has to be rebuilt almost again. If this is the case, the cost of rebuilding the two houses would be too great!
Seeing this, Mei Xiaoran exclaimed, "Four uncle, don't dare to live in this house anymore. I'm afraid that if it rains again, the gable will fall."
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so serious."
Originally, Cheng Bin just wanted to rebuild the roof again, but now, it’s not a matter of rebuilding. If you want to build it, you will renovate the entire house. In addition to not having to lay the foundation, this is also the same as rebuilding the house. There is no difference.
"Four uncle, now you should pack a few Wang Ronghua's clothes and change your clothes, pack up the expensive furniture first, and put it in the kitchen."
Mei Xiaoran knows very well that the kitchen in the Cheng family's house is a little bit like, so he can only make ideas in the kitchen. Besides, it was still very cloudy on this day, not as if it was going to clear up, I was afraid it would rain.
Cheng Bin sighed helplessly, "For the time being, I can only do so first."
