The two of us went shopping for a while, and I bought a piece of black fabric, and then I went to the market and bought a little celery, spinach, and garlic, shallots, and all the ingredients for pickling into small pickles. The pickles brought from home are almost sold, and you can sell some refreshing salad in the summer.

It was getting dark when I got home, so I put my things down and prepared to go to Lin Jia's house to eat wontons.

Lin Jia went over there to wash her face, and when she walked out, she suddenly said, "Nizi." Here you go! The roof of your shed is leaking! ”

"Where?" I hurried over.

When I walked into the hut, I saw a large area in the middle of the roof of the shed that was wet, and a small hill bag bulged out in the middle, and a drop of water could drip down in half a day, and there was already a trail of water on the ground.

I hurriedly took the bucket and continued: "The house should be repaired." Otherwise, in the rainy season, our family will be doomed. ”

"Well, wait until tomorrow morning to let my brother come and help you take a look." Lin Jiadao.

"I'm sorry for you." He smiled and said, "Your eldest brother has now become our free labor." ”

"What are you polite? Our relationship is not separated from each other! Lin Jia smiled and took my hand.

We arrived at Lin Jia's house, Lin Pengfei had come back from work, he was reading a book at the window, my mother and Lin mother didn't know where to go, and when they saw us coming, they hurriedly smiled and said hello.

He said: "They went to the community, didn't the neighborhood committee distribute cockroach medicine once a year? I'll be back in a while. ”

Lin Jia said: "Brother! Turn on the lights, don't get your eyes down on it in order to save some electricity! She turned on the light.

"I took it too seriously for a while." Lin Pengfei put the book down.

"I'll go look at the stove, you can talk to Nizi." Lin Jia walked over with a smile.

I knew that she was creating opportunities for me and her brother, and she didn't even give up, I was very helpless, and sat across from him awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Lin Pengfei closed the book and looked at me and said, "Nizi, do you like to read?" ”

I shook my head first, then nodded, a little embarrassed: "I only have a primary school education, and people usually laugh at me when they ask me about reading." So;; ”

"I have a few textbooks and workbooks here, do you want to read them?"

"Okay." I was curious: "Is it a junior high school textbook?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Pengfei nodded: "I also came down in the first year of junior high school, but I bought all the textbooks, I think if I have the opportunity, I can go to the university of electrical engineering." Although it is not easy to take the test, I will work hard to ensure that I don't have any regrets. ”

I looked at him, Jiajia said, my brother used to be the first in the school, and he also participated in the competition, but he dropped out of school because of his family background, although Lin Pengfei now looks no different from ordinary workers, but he is a very ambitious person, one day, he will definitely soar, what he lacks now is just an opportunity.

Lin Pengfei looked at me stunned, then smiled and said, "What's wrong with you, Nizi?" Think I'm not going to get in? ”

"Of course not." I hurriedly shook my head and said, "You are very good, you will definitely be able to pass the exam." ”

"It's the same with you, as long as you work hard, you can definitely succeed."

"Actually. I don't want to go to university, I just need to learn more cultural knowledge, after all, the primary school is too low, and if I want to work in a general factory, people won't want it. I said seriously.

"Academic qualifications don't matter. In short, it's a good thing to want to progress, I'll help you find it, you look at politics and language first, and I'll help you see mathematics, physics and chemistry later. ”

Seeing him help me find books, I was very grateful.

Lin Jia probed at this time and said, "Brother! Niko's house is leaking. Remember to show her. ”

"No problem, let's go now." He said as he stood up and walked out.

I hurriedly stopped him: "No need, I think it's better tomorrow morning." Otherwise, you won't be able to see anything when it's dark. It's too slippery, it's not good if you're in danger, and you haven't eaten yet. ”

He nodded in agreement.

Lin Jia said: "Brother." You see how much Niko cares about you. ”

I said, "Jiajia, I'm not happy that you're like this." ”

"Okay, I got it."

Lin Pengfei smiled and pinched her nose and went out to wash her hands.

The wontons are all wrapped and placed on top of the cutting board, ready to cook at any time.

I boiled the water first, and when the water boiled, Mother Lin and my mother came back, and directly boiled the wontons, clear soup with a little seaweed and a few poached eggs, pure meat wontons, which tasted very good.

With a lot of small pickles, our two families talked and laughed and had dinner together.

After eating, my mother and I walked back. It was completely dark, and it was still drizzling, worried that the road would not be easy to walk, Lin Pengfei took a flashlight and sent us all to the door, and he handed me a bag of books: "You can take a good look." If there is anything I don't understand, I'll tell you, of course, I'm also a layman, so I can't necessarily explain it, don't dislike it. ”

I hurriedly said, "Thank you so much. ”

"You're welcome, I'm embarrassed that you're so polite every day." Lin Pengfei said with a smile: "Then I'll go back, I'll help you see it tomorrow morning, let's stick to it for one night!" As he spoke, he turned and went back.

When my mother opened the door, she smiled and said, "Do you want it?" ”

"Well, he found the textbook."

"yes, but that's a good thing. Your dad wanted you to be more. ”

I smiled and grabbed the book in my hand.

We went into the house to see, there were several more leaking places inside, and quickly took the basin and bucket to connect there, and after washing and lying on the kang after entering the house, I heard the sound of ticking outside, and I was a little depressed.

Mom suddenly said, "Nizi, I'll go to your grandma's house the day after tomorrow." ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Isn't your uncle getting married? I need to prepare something, I told your grandma last time, he helped us, and I have to go back to help. ”

I nodded, "Okay." Just give him more money. ”

"Forget it." Mom hesitated for a moment before saying, "No matter how much we give." Your uncle won't be happy, so I'll do my best! ”

Although my uncle helped us last time, he was also forced, not in the original intention, and then he said as ugly as he sounded, and the implication was not to expect him to help in the future.

"If we send money, he'll just think we're stammering."

"In that case, we don't have to give him money, as if he is amazing."

Mom took my hand: "I have to go for at least three or four days, I'm worried that you'll be exhausted." It's not safe to live on your own, right? ”

"No, it won't. I'm fine. If I can't do it then, I'll go live on Lin Jia's side, you don't have to work too hard. ”

"It's okay, your uncle is considered to be rich, so your grandma will invite someone to have a meal at home, and the important banquet is in the city, he won't let us go, and there are not many people invited, all the materials are generally packed up a few days in advance, and you don't have to do a lot." Anyway, your uncle and your aunt won't go back, and your grandma and grandpa won't say anything. Alas! Your uncle is not doing this properly. ”

I smiled, my uncle was as ruthless as in his previous life, and he didn't even go back to the wedding that the village held for him.

The villagers also laughed at my grandmother's family, there was just such a son, and it was not easy to confess, but I didn't expect the blessing of my son for a day, so I gave it to my father-in-law's family in vain, and married a mentally handicapped.

Grandpa is angry, and often fights with the villagers because of this matter, but what can be done? This is a shameless thing that his son did.

None of my uncle's new house we have ever seen. He was afraid that we, the people in the village, would be dirty, and he was afraid that his identity would be lowered.

Of course, another point is that they know the place, and they will go to shàng mén every day if there is anything going on.

I want to completely draw a line with my uncle, but he is my mother's own brother, and he helped us last time, so it is not okay not to go. can only be regarded as contributing to grandma.

Mom said, "Originally, I should have informed your uncle about this." But look at the present; ”

"Notify the fart! It's all broken, so it's better to stay away and save trouble. "I rejected it outright.

Mom nodded: "It's okay, when the time comes, something else will happen, and the He family will not be able to live in peace again." ”

I said in my heart, as long as there is a He Xiang, the He family will not be quiet. I don't know, what happened to that woman and Du Sanzhuang? Catch up with Ming and see He Jing and ask.

Mom rolled over at this time and fell asleep directly.

I listened to the hut outside, and there was the sound of raindrops falling on buckets. At first, it was still ticking, but the back was able to form a line, and I changed a bucket of water, and then went back to sleep.

That rain lasted until midnight.

The sun came out the next morning, and my mother and I had just gotten up. Lin Pengfei and Lin Jia came over.

Lin Jia was carrying a xiāng zǐ in his hand with some simple tools in it, and greeted us with a smile.

"Before my brother went to bed, he prepared a lot of things, and he thought about it very well."

"It's really too troublesome for you, Pengzi! I don't know how to thank you! Mom hurriedly smiled and said hello.

Lin Pengfei hurriedly said: "It's nothing. I'll go up and take a look, I don't think it's a big problem. ”

We borrowed a ladder from a neighbor, and Lin Pengfei climbed up to help me look at the leak.

He scrutinized it from above, and although we couldn't see it, we kept looking straight at him with our necks tilted up.

Lin Pengfei squatted over there to check for a while, then turned around and smiled: "It's the tiles that are crooked, it's not a big deal." He tidied it up, and in some places he added a little plastic sheeting to press it down. His movements are very sensitive.

Mom nodded and said, "Pengzi is good at work." ”

Then he came down slowly, and when he got down the ladder, his foot slipped and the whole person slipped down the ladder halfway, and we all exclaimed in surprise and rushed over to help: "Be careful! ”
