Chapter 52: New Warehouse
Mom and Dad are finally going to start renovating the storeroom. Although this is a happy thing normally, I am still vaguely worried, I wonder if the enchantment of Cangzhi can work?
The worker looked at the garage, shook his head and said to his father, "Are you really going to renovate this warehouse?" It seems to me that you might as well push it off, it will make the yard look a little brighter. ”
My father looked at me with a nervous face, turned to the worker and said, "Yes, renovate it, I promised others that I would keep it." ”
"Well, if you want, but that might be a lot of work. But don't worry, whatever is handed over to us will be completed beautifully. ”
As he spoke, the young worker took out two more planks from the storeroom and made a sign with the words "Do not approach during construction." Then he nailed it to the front of the warehouse.
And so on Saturday, the workers came to renovate the storeroom. There were four of them together, each wearing an orange hard hat.
"Actually, we don't usually bring this thing, but your storehouse looks too unstable."
Seeing me staring at their hard hats, a man who looked like a contractor said. As he spoke, he pushed the walls of the storeroom, as if to prove that he was talking, and the whole storeroom creaked immediately, and I even saw some dust fall from the door frame.
"Please don't do it again." I'm a little worried about the snow inside.
The foreman smiled, his white teeth in great contrast to the weather-beaten complexion on his face.
"Don't worry, little one. We will definitely give you a brand new treasury, and then it will be your kingdom, and you will be the king there, maybe the queen! "The foreman had obviously seen through my careful thoughts, and it seemed that he also had a delicate heart beneath his rough exterior.
Dad laughed too.
"Look, as I said. Okay, so let's get started, let's get everything out of it first. ”
Even so, my heart still tuggs at the thought of Xue Fei and them. Xuan Xuan was also nervous, she learned that the workers started work today, so she also ran over. She grabbed my hand and repeated in her mouth, "It's okay, it's okay, it's definitely okay." ”
It turned out that the enchantment effect of the cangzhi was very good, and the workers moved the garbage and debris out one by one and piled them up in the yard. The long and short planks, the bags of cement, the broken tarpaulin, the bundles of thick hemp rope, the water pipes, the tall pile of paper shells, and the broken oil drum that Xue Fei once leaned on. They were all moved out one by one and saw the light of day again.
And when the workers were doing this, it was obvious that none of them could see the existence of Xue Fei and them. Xue Fei and the other youkai seemed to be transparent to them, but they were actually right next to them, and they didn't notice it. Xuan Xuan and I looked at each other and smiled, this time it was completely relieved.
"That guy Cangzhi is really helpful, I should thank him if I have the chance." Xue Fei said this to me telepathically.
The workers are very careful, and every thing they bring out is repeatedly examined, and the ones that can be used are put in a pile, and the ones that cannot be used are thrown aside. After a while, a truck came and stopped at the gate of the courtyard to load up the unusable garbage. After doing this, everyone took a breath. I patted off the dust on my body, sat in the yard on the spot, and drank a cup of green tea that my mother had already brewed.
Xuan Xuan and I walked to the door of the warehouse, stretched our necks to look in, and greeted Xue Fei with a wink. And Xue Fei is there to teach a little monster who tries to mistreat the workers.
"Hey, you two!" Dad shouted not far away.
"We know that we don't go in, we just look at the door." I replied.
Dad nodded and turned back, explaining to the workers that from the day I first moved in, I had always been curious about the storeroom, always trying to get inside.
"Like my son, the more you don't let them do anything, the more they want to do it. The darker the place, the more they want to get closer. But this is also the nature of children, and the courage to explore is also a good spirit. A worker said.
As for what they say over there, I don't pay any attention to it. Instead, he kept staring at the corner of the warehouse, where the old oil drum had been placed. That was the place where I first met Xuefei. Now that I think about it, everything seems to have happened yesterday, and now I think about it so warmly.
"Everything will be better."
I don't know when, my dad walked up behind me. But this sentence was said by him and Xue Fei in unison.
Look at Dad, and if I want to look at the snow in the storeroom again, I nodded. "Yes, everything will be better." Even if it responds, it is a response to Xuefei.
After the tea, everyone geared up and got to work.
They laid down steel beams to support the roof. Crack grout was also applied to the wall so that the wall would not crack again. Finally, the wall is reinforced with plywood and painted quickly.
The skill of the workers and the high-tech tools save a lot of time. By the end of the evening, the whole project was completed.
"Hell, this job is so neat, much faster than me." Daddy chatters.
"Of course, we are professional in engineering." The foreman said that every trace on his face was full of pride.
"In this way, someone's dream has come true."
The foreman nodded and promised: "And the small pond of your house, I will dig it for you in two days, and then you can plant flowers and trees, I believe that many owners in the community will envy your family." ”
"It doesn't matter, as long as the kids are happy, it's worth everything." Dad replied.
At the end of the project, the foreman proudly showed us a V-shaped victory. Dad gave them a thumbs up. So, everyone sat around the courtyard again and drank tea.
Xuan Xuan and I quietly slipped into the storeroom. Observing with some little monsters, stroking everything new in the storeroom.
"You've got a new home, aren't you?" Xuan Xuan jumped up and ran to the snow boy.
"Cut, change the soup without changing the medicine, all this is useless to me." Although he said this, the expression on his face still betrayed himself slightly, and joy inadvertently showed on his brows.
"Hypocrisy." I whispered.
"Does it have anything to do with you? Eventful. The Snow Boy unceremoniously returned to the-for-tat.
Xue Fei on the side interjected: "Yes, beating is kissing, scolding is love, if you don't fight, it's not lively." You two go on, don't pay attention to our melon-eating masses. ”
What and what is this!
