Chapter 130: Neighbors

"He will, if you dare to walk into his yard, he will definitely shoot you with a gun, I warn you, it's not popular to visit here, no one invites you, you must not run around, if you haven't lived enough!" Seeing the light in Hong Tao's eyes, Zhou Xiaoli immediately thought of this question, and issued a warning with a serious expression.

"Okay, understood, I'll report to you in advance wherever I go, please rest assured, besides, could you please go and take down the camera? I'm going to take a picture with my masterpiece. For Zhou Xiaoli's reminder, Hong Tao resolutely accepted.

"I want it too, I want it too!" The little boy in the neighborhood saw Hong Tao taking pictures with the big snowman, lying on the snowman with a dead face and not walking away, insisting that Zhou Xiaoli take him in too.

"Come on, take a picture together, take a picture together!" After getting Zhou Xiaoli's permission, Hong Tao pulled the two children over and took a photo with the snowman together, and then changed Zhou Xiaoli to take pictures of them himself.

The snowman is finished, Hong Tao has to continue to work, the streets here are cleaned by the government, but the snow on the path and sidewalk in front of the individual house has to rely on the residents here to clean it together, Hong Tao came out relatively early, when he built the snowman, several nearby houses also came out one after another, with different tools to clear the snow in front of their own doors, but only in front of their own doors, not a little more, the standard snow in front of the door.

After clearing the driveway, he cleared the lawn, and then pushed the snow from the sidewalk onto the road, waiting for the government snowplow to come and shovel the snow away. Compared with the surrounding households, Hong Tao swept the cleanest here, not only the road surface was cleared, but even the lawn was exposed. Of course, Hong Tao is a fresh energy, if he sweeps it once a week, he doesn't have such a big energy, and who will have such a big idler.

As time goes by, at more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the community road gradually becomes lively, and every car will slow down or simply stop when passing by Zhou Xiaoli's door, if there are children in the car, most of them will run over to ask for the opinion of Joan and Bloom, who are playing in front of the snowman, take a photo with the big snowman, and then reluctantly leave.

Children like to be noticed by others, especially a little boy like Bloom, who is firmly in front of the big snowman, and his nose is frozen red and he is not willing to leave, as long as other children want to get close to the big snowman, they must listen to him introduce the name and origin of the snowman.

In order to allow the child to leave the snowman and go home to eat, Hong Tao had to steal a string of lanterns from the house that Zhou Xiaoli bought to decorate the house, and found an old umbrella in the basement, tore off the umbrella surface, glued the lanterns to the umbrella bone, and then inserted the umbrella handle on the snowman's shoulder, so that after an electric power, the lanterns will illuminate the snowman, not only can be seen from the window of Bloom's house, but most of the neighbors in this area can see this colorful snowman at night.

"You like kids a lot? I see you're having a good time with Bloom. Back in the house, Hong Tao sat on the sofa and didn't get up, he didn't feel it when he played, and after a few hours, he was still very tired, and he planned to rely on the work of making dinner.

"I don't like it, but if I'm sensible, I don't hate it." This is really Hong Tao's heart, he himself has no feelings for children, if children love to cry a little more, there will be more annoying situations.

"For the sake of your working attitude, I will cook dinner today, but the tree wall has not been cut yet, and it will continue tomorrow." When Zhou Xiaoli saw Hong Tao's face, she knew that if she wanted to have dinner, she would probably have to do it herself, so it was better to be more generous than to spend half a day talking to no avail.

"......" Hong Tao lay on the sofa and smoked, and waved his hand without even answering. In fact, this is the reason why Hong Tao likes to stay with Zhou Xiaoli the most, this woman is rarely coquettish, except in bed, less clingy, she is very smart, she knows when to scold you, when to praise you, and she is not tired at all, very comfortable.

Early the next morning, Hong Tao was woken up by the doorbell, glanced at his watch, it was just half past six, who could knock on the door so early?

It was Zhou Xiaoli who went to open the door, Hong Tao was still in bed and was ready to come back to sleep, but then Zhou Xiaoli came up and told him that he didn't want to sleep when he returned to the cage, and the two children in the neighborhood were waiting for him at the door, and they were going to ask Hong Tao to build a snowman in their house, and even Hong Tao's salary was ready, it was a lot of change, and it was estimated that there were more than 20 yuan.

"Yes, you can earn money to support your family, or I'll rent you a shovel, and you can go from house to house to build a snowman." Zhou Xiaoli smiled and stuffed the change in her hand to Hong Tao, and climbed into bed to sleep again.

"Are you letting me take it? Or do you want to not let me take it? At least give me the whole money, such a lot of change, am I the strange Shu Li who cheated the child of candy? After washing up, Hong Tao put on his clothes and opened the door and came out, complained in Chinese to the two little guys at the door, and then stuffed a handful of change into the little boy's pocket.

"If it's not enough, can we pay in installments, we only have so much pocket money." Joan obviously understands things better than her brother, and even makes such a high-end word as installment payment.

"In our country, you don't have to pay to help each other, especially children and grandmothers, so I'm going to help you make a snowman for free, of course, you have to help me shovel snow." Hong Tao first talked about China's long history, and then made an excuse for the children, so that it would not affect their values and stop talking about money.

"It's better to be in China, I asked my sister to help me with the housework, and I have to pay her." The little boy was sincere and sold his sister in an instant.

"Let's go, get to work, you go shovel the snow, I'll build a snowman." Seeing that Joan was about to become angry, Hong Tao hurriedly pulled them to work.

Captain Gale's house is exactly the same as Zhou Xiaoli's house, except that the paint on the walls and the roof tiles are different in color, and they are a little old, and it looks like they haven't been cleaned up for a long time. Hong Tao still remembered Zhou Xiaoli's warning yesterday, even if Qiong and his younger brother followed, he would glance at the door and window from time to time, he was afraid that the old soldier would really shoot himself with a gun.

When shoveling snow on the lawn and building a snowman's body, Hong Tao took a look and found that there was a thick layer of snow on the porch of the old captain's house, so he ran back to Zhou Xiaoli's basement, took out the ladder, and cleaned the porch by the way.

With the experience of the last snowman, Hong Tao commanded the two children to build a taller snowman body, almost exceeding the height of the porch, in order to facilitate the upward transport, but also deliberately made 3 steps behind the snowman, so that there is no need to step on the ladder up and down.

When the snowman's head was rolled, it was another melee as usual, Zhou Xiaoli, who had already finished breakfast, also ran over and joined the battle group, she and Joan formed an alliance to stuff snow into Hong Tao's neck, and Hong Tao took Little Bloom to launch a counterattack, and successfully captured Zhou Xiaoli, and then pressed it in the snow, almost buried it with snow.

Tired of tossing, the snowman's head was completed, Hong Tao couldn't lift such a big snowball alone, relying on Zhou Xiaoli's help, the head was installed, in order to prevent the big snowball from accidentally falling and hitting the person, between the snowman's body and the head, some water was sprinkled, so that the snowman's head was firmly frozen on the body.

This nearly 3-meter-tall snowman is not only taller than Zhou Xiaoli's house, but also has two more arms inserted with a broom, and Joan took out a large bamboo hat from the house and buckled it on the snowman's head. Seeing the appearance of the snowman, Hong Tao suddenly remembered the shape of the giant panda in an American cartoon "Kung Fu Panda" in his previous life, so he ran back to Zhou Xiaoli's house, took out a bottle of ink he bought at Pacific Place, poured it into a small basin and mixed it with some water, dyed the snowman's body like a panda, and painted 2 big dark circles under his eyes.
