Chapter 56: Working as a Coolie (2)
Ju An thought for a while and asked, "Then how much will it cost you to change the roof?"
Liu Chao smiled and said: "About four or five thousand yuan, maybe more, but not much, the insurance company people came to see it, and lost nearly seven thousand dollars, this money is enough."
"Do you change the rooftop insurance company and lose money?" Ju An asked strangely.
Liu Chao looked at Ju'an with the eyes of the turtle and said, "Didn't you buy the insurance for the house?" Of course, the insurance company will be responsible for compensation if the roof is broken, if I don't pay the housing insurance, what would I do."
Ju An scratched his head and said: "My house must have been paid, I bought a lot of bird insurance as soon as I came, what medical care, housing, property, and what real estate taxes were paid, I hired a lawyer to suggest that it was best to pay a big stack at that time, what a vampire."
Liu Chao said: "In the future, when you go to the hospital, you should be careful when the hospital mails you a bill, these hospitals are dark, sometimes they will send you two bills, don't pay twice, if you don't mention it, you won't return it to you at all, your sister-in-law found out last time, and charged us a thousand more American knives."
Ju An said in surprise: "In this way, the doctors of any country are not angels in white, they are all demon disciples!" Well, I remember to be careful, and I still think that the medical care in the United States is a lot better."
Liu Chao said: "Bullshit! Health care in the U.S. isn't as good as in Canada."
When he was complaining about the old beauty and evil medical security system, he heard the sound of Zhao Nan coming home, and Liu Chao took Ju An back to the living room and continued to sit on the sofa and chat.
When Zhao Nan changed his clothes and went downstairs, Liu Chao said to Zhao Nan: "My wife got some food, Anzi and I haven't eaten yet, so I ate some fruits and cookies in the company, and I was a little hungry."
Zhao Nan smiled and said, "Then what do you want to eat?"
Ju An thought for a while and replied, "Sister-in-law, if you have egg fried rice, if you have, just get a bowl."
When Liu Chao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, there is fried rice, bring me a bowl too."
Zhao Nan said: "Fried rice has to be cooked first, so I'll go and get some rice now, and then cook." With that, he walked to the kitchen.
Ju An shouted: "Sister-in-law, the rice is hard to cook, I'll fry it myself later, there are no shallots and chili sauce, if there is, get some, I don't have these things at home."
Zhao Nan's voice came from the kitchen: "Yes, you and your senior brother are from the same place, the taste is the same, there are shallots, hot sauce, soy sauce, shredded meat, and salted duck eggs at home."
Liu Chao said: "That's okay! You just need to cook the rice, it's been a long time since I've eaten Anzi's fried rice, and this kid always came to our dormitory to eat fried rice when he was in college."
Ju An said with a smile: "I forgot to buy chili sauce there, this time I went back from you to buy a box to take back and eat slowly, and the domestic shallot seeds also bought some back, and it is convenient to cook a noodle in the future, fry a rice or something, my duck there has already laid eggs, my mother is collecting it, ready to make a jar to pickle, and when you pass in autumn, it is estimated that you will be able to eat, and when you go over in winter, beef and mutton hot pot, plus the fish and shrimp in my water, it is called a cool word to eat."
Zhao Nan said with a smile in the kitchen: "I can't complain that your senior brother called you a foodie, I just came back for a while, and you brought up the food."
Ju An said indifferently: "The appetite, a great pleasure in life, now my pursuit is to be able to eat what I want to eat, and then mix a daughter-in-law, wife and children hot kang head, after giving birth to a son, when he goes to college, I will buy a Rolls-Royce to send him, and then buy him a random Ferrari or something in school, let him concentrate on picking up girls, what I want to do in college, what I didn't do made this kid realize my dream."
Liu Chao and Zhao Nan, who listened, burst into laughter.
Zhao Nan scooped up the rice, put it in the rice cooker and cooked it, and went upstairs by himself, leaving the two brothers sitting in the living room drinking and chatting.
Liu Chao said: "You won't go to the alumni association next time, if you want to go, I'll let you know when you go."
Ju An said: "You guys are doctors and masters, what are I doing there as a small undergraduate, is it a shame, I don't know a few people, don't go!" ”。
Liu Chao then said a lot, but in the end he couldn't let Ju An loosen his mouth, originally Ju An was a surname who would rather have less than more things, and he was really not interested in seeing some people he didn't know.
After waiting for a while, Ju An went to the kitchen to see that the rice was ready, so he pulled out the plug, opened the lid of the pot, and opened the rice to cool down. Then he took out a few eggs from the refrigerator, took out the shallots, took off the dead leaves, put them in the sink and washed them, put them on the cutting board and cut them into green onions, and shouted to the senior brother in the living room: "Senior brother, is there meat oil at home?"
Liu Chao got up and came to the refrigerator to take out the lard and handed it to Ju An, who put a frying pan on the stove and lit the fire, and heated the pot first.
After the pot is hot, dig two or three spoons of meat oil and put it into the pot to melt, and then shake the pot left and right, the oil is spread all over the bottom of the pot, and then beat the eggs in the bowl, stir it, pour it into the oil pot and sprinkle the shallots, lightly copy it in the pot a few times, and then pour the rice into the pot, fry it, put some soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, and salt when stir-frying, and after a while, two plates of light chestnut and fragrant fried rice will come out of the pot.
Liu Chao couldn't sit still when he smelled the aroma, came over to help cut a duck egg in half, and then brought the hot sauce to the table, and then he and Ju An feasted on it, Zhao Nan went downstairs in the middle, and praised when he entered the kitchen: "Anzi, this fried rice is really fragrant, and you have an appetite when you smell it."
Ju An was knocking the hot sauce into the bowl and said, "There is still more than half a bowl in the pot, sister-in-law, why don't you try it too."
Zhao Nan heard that he also took a small bowl and put a small bowl, sat on the table, took a bite and said, "It's really good."
Liu Chao said while eating: "Your sister-in-law fried rice, she doesn't like to use lard, she uses olive oil, she is afraid of gaining weight, or Anzi fried rice has the taste of her hometown, refreshing."
Zhao Nan said as soon as he heard it: "I work in the office all day long, and my blood lipids are a little high, and eating so much lard is not good for my health."
Ju An smiled and said, "Yes! Senior brother, your figure has been out of shape, you have to keep your body."
Zhao Nan ate a small bowl and went upstairs, Ju An and Liu Chao divided the rest of the pot into two parts, and the two of them sat on the sofa and touched their stomachs with satisfaction, don't mention it.
Early on Saturday morning, Ju An was woken up by Liu Chao, and when he saw that the sky was just bright, Liu Chao shouted that Ju An should get up and brush his teeth quickly, and he would go to KFC to buy breakfast for a while, and his friends should arrive later, and the car that delivered the materials was estimated to arrive at seven o'clock, so let him watch it downstairs.
After speaking, he dragged Ju An up from the bed, got up in a daze, brushed his teeth, changed his clothes, and went out of the door. Ju An sat on the swing in the yard, looking at the intersection while shaking, the delivery car had not yet arrived, Liu Chao came back, bought some hamburgers and brought a family bucket.
As soon as I got the breakfast off the car, a small pickup truck drove over, and four or five pickup trucks came one after another, and there was a ** foreigner in it, one of the grades was almost the same as Ju'an's father, Ju'an muttered secretly in his heart, this old man can also go up to the roof to change the roof, what to do if it falls.
After a large group of people came down, they took down seven or eight ladders, and each foreigner actually brought a ladder.
Liu Chao also took out the two ladders from home, and Ju An asked, "Do these foreigners still bring their own ladders?" ”。
Liu Chao smiled and explained to Ju An: "These old beauties bring their own tools when they go out to help with their work, and you will be able to see later, what hammers, shovels, screwdrivers, pliers, etc."
Ju An nodded blankly, and Liu Chao introduced Ju An to this group of foreigner friends, and everyone said hello and ate breakfast.
After breakfast, after resting for a few minutes, I saw a large crane coming, and there were more than 20 bags of things on the big platform behind it. Liu Chao saw the crane coming, and Bian and Ju'an said, "The truck delivering materials is here", and beckoned the two foreigners to climb the ladder to the roof.
When the crane approached the house, a white driver in his forties got out of the car, took a remote control in his hand, and used the crane arm to lift more than 20 bags of things behind, once the surname was lifted, and then slowly put it on the roof, Liu Chao and two foreigners on the roof were responsible for picking up these things, and when the things were put on the roof, one of the foreigners made a gesture and shouted: "OK!"
The driver finished the crane with the crane remote control and drove the crane away.
At this time, when he saw Liu Chao coming down, Ju An stepped forward and said: "This material is still sent like this, the service is really good, help you hang things for free."
Liu Chao said: "Lao Mei here is fiercely competitive, let me tell you, if you buy cement in China, it must be a bag, you have to buy sand or something to mix yourself, here you call the water company directly, the mixed cement will be transported to you, the service, Lao Mei is indeed beyond a few streets in China, that is no way, Lao Mei here labor is expensive, you have to find a few people to mix, it is not as good as the cement company to spend less."
Ju An nodded in agreement: "Yes, don't mention this artificial, Lao Mei's sense of service is indeed much stronger than in China, it is estimated that a domestic home delivery is good, and it will be stirred for you, you think it is too beautiful."
Liu Chao looked at it and said, "Don't talk about it!" Hurry up, today you and the people are responsible for sucking up the fallen iron nails below, as well as collecting the fallen sundries and the old gentleman" After speaking, he pointed to the white old man who Ju An saw that was about the same age as Ju An's father, and then handed Ju An a rope, and a ring magnet was tied to the rope.
