Yang Guowei looked up at the round wall clock on the wall, it was only nine o'clock, it was a little hot, and he couldn't sleep for a while, so he continued to explain to his mother on the phone:

"By the way, Mom, the hippopotamus went to the north with the car, he can go back to Luochuan tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he has to go back to the city to do something. I told him to go see you and bring you something. In addition, if you have any work at home, you and my dad are working hard, so you don't have to be polite to him, let him do it. You can talk to him like drainage, change gas cans, move furniture, etc., he has strength. ”

"Ah, I know, you hang up the phone, it's expensive, what do you have to say when you come back. ”

"Okay, I'm hanging, it's uncomfortable to squeak, don't hold on. After Yang Guowei finished speaking, he put the phone back. The mosquito coil on the windowsill was slowly burning on the aluminum triangular slot, and he noticed that there had been no movement in the room next to Ye Xiaochi's house, maybe he was sleeping, right?

Luo Xiangnan sat in the hall, watching the lights in Yang Guowei's house go out, and his heart was a little relieved, it seemed that the classmate surnamed Yang didn't think of anything else, he just came to do business. What's more, Ye Xiaochi's legs are not good yet, she should think too much, right?

She didn't think there was anything wrong with this Yang Guowei, that is, he was always running business outside, and he was not at home much if he had money in his hand. This made Luo Xiangnan have scruples and hoped that his daughter would keep a distance from him.

Before dawn the next day, I don't know whose big rooster crowed, Luo Xiangdong was woken up by the cry, and lay down for a while, before opening his eyes and getting dressed.

There are no dried noodles in the kitchen, but there are rice and white noodles, but one person doesn't like to make them. If you ask him to do carpentry work, he can do it very carefully, but if he is asked to cut potatoes, he can only say that he is blindly cut, and the stir-fry is always almost tasteful. Anyway, if he's not hungry, he often can't remember to eat.

Just after seven o'clock in the morning, Ye Jingtao came over and brought him a few freshly baked and hot dough cakes, as well as sauce and fried shredded potatoes.

After coming in, seeing that his uncle was really working, Ye Jingtao put down his things, and then ran to the kitchen to lift the lid of the pot and look at the cupboard. Luo Xiangdong was using a planer to plane a piece of wood, and when he saw him running out again, he asked him, "What are you going to see?" ”

"It's not that I want to watch it, it's my sister who said that you haven't cooked or eaten nine times out of ten, so you must be making do. So she asked me to bring you something to eat, saying that she was afraid that you would be hungry and thin, and no one would follow you after you became ugly. ”

Luo Xiangdong: "......" Is this what a nephew and niece should say? Isn't his uncle too undignified?

Luo Xiangdong glared, and Ye Jingtao ran away. He put down the planer, washed his hands, walked over and rolled a loaf of bread and ate it. Ye Xiaochi didn't say that he didn't think it yet, but when she said this, he also felt that his life was really rough, and he didn't have a meal.

The day before, Li Er sent a child to ask him to go to the store to call back, and after he called back, he realized that it was Lao Hou who called.

Lao Hou told him that a friend wanted to bring a piece of furniture for him to repair, and if he did it well, he would not be less alive in the future. Nothing else was said. As for himself, he didn't come.

Luo Xiangdong also knew why, the set of furniture of the Xue family must have been taken away by Lao Hou, and it was indeed inconvenient to appear in Liudaogou Village at this time.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Luo Xiangdong saw Zhao Yonghai's kid riding a bicycle past his yard, then stopped, looked at the driver in the pickup truck following behind him, pointed to the yard, said a few words and rode away again.

Luo Xiangdong patted the wood scraps on his hands and body to open the door and go out, and the pickup truck also stopped, and two young people, one tall and one short, got out of the car.

The two men glanced at him, closed the door and stepped in. "You're Master Luo, aren't you?"

Master, few people still call him that, Luo Xiangdong said to the tall man, "Just call me Luo Xiangdong." ”

"Oh, did Lao Hou call you?"

"Well, bring the furniture, let's take a look at it first. Luo Xiangdong didn't have too much politeness, and when he saw that the carriage behind him was covered with cloth, he walked over first.

Zuo Yucheng's first impression of this person is okay, let's see how he works. They followed him, and together they uncovered the cloth.

Luo Xiangdong looked at the warped head case that was missing a leg, and did not say whether to repair it or not, but circled around the case, even looked at the pattern on the side panel, and then said: "This one is not seriously damaged, but it can be repaired." But I don't have the right wood here..."

Qu Xiaowu listened and opened the things wrapped and bundled with felt blankets next to the warping case, and could see a piece of wood lying quietly inside.

Luo Xiangdong walked over, picked up the wood and checked it in his hand, turned it over and observed the lines, and said: "The boss is very willing, such a good wood, aren't you afraid that I will destroy the work?"

"You don't have to call me boss, I'll just run errands, just call me Makoko. Zuo Yucheng said, picked up the wood and looked at it, and said: "Lao Hou said that you are doing a good job, I believe what he said, you can repair." ”

Luo Xiangdong hadn't worked with such good wood for a long time, and he really had the heart to give it a try, since the other party said so, then what else was he waiting for, so he said: "Okay, drive the car to the yard, the place is big, enough to park." ”

Qu Xiaowu went over and reversed the car into the yard, and several people worked together to carefully carry the warping case across the threshold and into the house.

After everything was moved in, Zuo Yucheng said, "Can you tell me how you plan to fix this case, and how long it will take?"

These Luo Xiangdong had already expected it, and told him directly: "Why don't you have a month." ”

When he said this, he observed Naseiko's expression for a moment, and saw that he didn't react abnormally, so he continued. If you don't know how to do it, you may not be able to understand it. They may think, why should it take a month to fix just one case?

"You have to clean it first, it's best to fumigate it, so that it is not easy to be eaten by insects in the future, and it will take a week to dry it in the shade after cleaning...... After repairing, you have to paint, and the glue and lacquer used to make this can't be bought from the market casually, you should know this, right?"

"Oh, then do as you say. Glue and lacquer I brought, you see. Zuo Yucheng motioned for Qu Xiaowu to go to the car to get it. Of course, he knew that if the common chemical paint on the market was brushed up, the antique would be ruined.

Luo Xiangdong said: "I still have a bit of fish glue, and the paint is gone." As he spoke, he brought over the remaining glue and the empty paint bucket.

Zuo Yucheng looked at the bottom of the bucket, smelled it again, and felt that he should have come to the right place this time.

Ye Xiaochi was helping to sweep the floor at home, Zhao Yonghai ran over to talk to Ye Jingtao, Ye Xiaochi saw Ye Jingtao coming back from the door, so he asked casually: "What are you talking about?"

"Sister, he said that someone from my uncle's house came, and he came by car, and he was still pulling things in the car. ”

Ye Xiaochi put down the broom and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
