Chapter 54
Ju An thought about it and asked, "Then how much will it cost to replace the roof?"

Liu Chao smiled and said, "About 5000 yuan, maybe more, but it's not too much. People from the insurance company came to check it out, and they paid nearly [-] dollars. The money is enough."

"You change the roof insurance company and still lose money?" Ju An asked strangely.

Liu Chao looked at Xia Ju'an with the eyes of the turtle and said, "Don'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 hadn't paid the house insurance, what would I do?"

Ju An scratched his head and said, "My house must have been paid. When I came here, I bought a lot of bird insurance. I paid for medical care, housing, property, and real estate taxes. A lawyer suggested at the time that it was best to hand over a large pile, which is really a vampire."

Liu Chao said: "In the future, when you go to the hospital, you should be careful when the hospital mails you bills. These hospitals are dark, and sometimes they will send you two bills. Don't pay twice. If you don't mention it, I didn't bring back what was returned to you at all, your sister-in-law found out last time and charged us a thousand dollars more."

Ju An said in surprise: "It seems that the doctors in any country are not angels in white, they are all disciples of the devil! Well, I will be careful when I remember it. I also think that American medical care will be much better no matter what."

Liu Chao said: "Shit! The medical insurance in the United States is not as good as that in Canada."

While complaining about Laomei's evil medical security system, when he heard Zhao Nan's voice coming home, Liu Chao took Ju An back to the living room and continued to chat on the sofa.

After Zhao Nan changed his clothes and went downstairs, Liu Chao said to Zhao Nan, "My wife got something to eat. An Zi and I haven't eaten yet. We ate some fruits and cookies at the company, and I'm 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, do you have egg fried rice, if you have one, just get a bowl."

When Liu Chao heard it, he quickly said, "Yes, do you have fried rice, give me a bowl too."

Zhao Nan said: "Fried rice has to be cooked first, so I'll go get some rice now, and then cook".Saying so, he walked to the kitchen.

Ju An followed and shouted: "Sister-in-law, the rice is hard to cook. I will fry it myself later. Do you have shallots and chili sauce, if you have any, please get some. I don't have any of these things at home."

Zhao Nan's voice came from the kitchen: "Yes, you and your brother came out of the same place, the taste is the same, there are shallots, hot sauce, soy sauce, shredded pork, and salted duck eggs at home."

Liu Chao said, "That's fine! Just cook the rice. I haven't had Anzi's fried rice for a long time. Back then, 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 will go back from you and buy a box to take home and eat slowly. I also buy some domestic shallot seeds. I will cook some noodles and stir-fry them later. It's convenient for a meal or anything. The ducks from my place had already laid their eggs when they came, and my mother was putting them away. She was going to get a jar to marinate. When the autumn is over, it is estimated that you can eat it. When the winter is over, the cows The mutton hot pot, plus the fish and shrimp in my pan, tastes so refreshing."

Zhao Nan said with a smile in the kitchen, "I can't blame your brother for calling you a foodie. I just came back for a while, and you asked for something to eat."

Ju An said nonchalantly: "The appetite is one of life's great joys, and now my pursuit is to be able to eat what I want, and then I will be satisfied, and then I will have a daughter-in-law, my wife and children will be on the kang head, I am giving birth to a son, and so on. When he was in college, I bought him a Rolls-Royce, and then bought him a random Ferrari or something at school, so that he could concentrate on picking up girls This kid made my dream come true."

Listening to Liu Chao and Zhao Nan burst into laughter.

Zhao Nan washed the rice, put it in the rice cooker and cooked it, then went upstairs, leaving the two brothers sitting in the living room drinking and chatting.

Liu Chao said: "Whether you will go to the next alumni meeting, I will inform you when you go."

Ju An said, "You guys, Ph.D. and masters, what are you doing there as an undergraduate student? It's a shame. I don't know a few people, so don't go!"

Liu Chao went on to talk about it again, but in the end, he couldn't let Ju An relax. Originally, Ju An is a character who would rather do less than do more. He really has no great interest in seeing some people he doesn't know.

After waiting for a while, Ju An went to the kitchen to see that the rice was ready, so he pulled the plug, lifted the lid of the pot, and let the rice cool off.Then he took out a few eggs from the refrigerator, took out some shallots, plucked the dead leaves, washed them in the sink, put them on the cutting board and cut them into chopped green onions, and shouted to the senior brother in the living room: "Senior brother, at home Is there any meat and oil?"

Only then did Liu Chao get up and go to the refrigerator to take out the lard and give it to Ju An. Ju An put a frying pan on the stove and set it on fire, and heated the pan first.

After the pot is hot, I dug out two or three tablespoons of meat oil and put it into the pot to melt, then shook the pot from side to side, the oil covered the bottom of the pot, and then I beat the eggs in the bowl, stirred it, and poured it out. Sprinkle the shallots in the oil pan, copy it a few times in the pan, then pour the rice into the pan, fry it up, put some soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, salt, and two plates in a while The light sorrel-colored fried rice smelled fragrant and it was out of the pot.

Liu Chao couldn't sit still when he smelled the aroma. He came over to help cut a duck egg in half, and then brought the spicy sauce to the dining table. He and Ju An ate together happily. Zhao Nan went downstairs and entered the kitchen. He exclaimed, "An Zi, this fried rice is really fragrant, and it smells good."

Ju An was knocking the chili sauce into the bowl and said, "There's still more than half of the bowl in the pot. Sister-in-law, why don't you come and try it too."

Zhao Nan heard that he also took a small bowl and filled a small bowl, sat at the table, and said, "It's really good."

Liu Chao said while eating, "Your sister-in-law doesn't like to use lard for fried rice, but uses olive oil. She is afraid of gaining weight, but Anzi's fried rice has the taste of her hometown and is refreshing."

As soon as Zhao Nan heard it, he said: "I work in the office all day, and my blood lipids are a bit high. Eating so much lard is not good for my health."

Ju An said with a smile: "Yes! Brother, your figure is out of shape, you must keep your figure."

Zhao Nan ate a small bowl and went upstairs. Ju An and Liu Chao divided the rest of the pot into two portions. The two of them sat on the sofa and felt their stomachs. .

Early on Saturday morning, Ju An was woken up by Liu Chao. It was only dawn when he saw the sky. Liu Chao called Ju An to get up and brush his teeth. He would go to KFC to buy breakfast later, and his friends should arrive later. , In addition, the car that delivered the materials is expected to arrive at seven o'clock, so let him watch it downstairs.

After he finished speaking, he dragged Ju An from the bed, got up in a daze, brushed his teeth, changed his clothes, and went out the door.Ju An was sitting on the swing in the yard, shaking and looking at the intersection. The delivery car hadn't arrived yet, but Liu Chao came back, bought some hamburgers and brought a bucket for the whole family.

As soon as I helped me get my breakfast out of the car, a small pickup truck drove over. Four or five pickups came one after another, and eight or nine foreigners came down. One of them was almost the same grade as Ju An's father. An heart murmured secretly, this old man can also go up the roof to change the roof, what should he do if he 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 two ladders from the house, and Ju An asked, "These foreigners still bring their own ladders?".

Liu Chao laughed and explained to Ju An: "These old beauties all bring their own tools when they go out to help, and you'll be able to see them later, such as hammers, shovels, screwdrivers and pliers. It's on."

Ju An nodded blankly, and Liu Chao introduced Ju An to this group of foreigner friends, everyone said hello and had breakfast.

After breakfast, and after a few minutes of rest, I saw a big crane approaching, and there were more than [-] packages on the large platform behind.When Liu Chao saw the crane approaching, Bian He Ju An said, "The truck that delivers the materials is here," and then greeted two foreigners to climb the ladder to the roof.

When the crane approached the house, a white driver in his 40s got out of the car, took a remote control in his hand, and used the boom to lift up the twenty or so packages at the back at one time, and then slowly put them on the roof Going up, Liu Chao and two foreigners on the roof were responsible for picking up these things. When the things were put on the roof, one of the foreigners made a gesture and shouted: "OK!".

The driver finished the operation of the boom by remote control again, and drove the crane away.

At this time, seeing Liu Chao coming down, Ju An stepped forward and said, "This material is still delivered like this. The service is really good. You can hang things for free."

Liu Chao said: "The competition in Laomei is fierce. Let me tell you, if you buy cement in China, it must be in a bag. You have to buy sand or something to mix it yourself. Here you call directly into the water. The company will ship the mixed cement to you and provide services. Laomei is indeed beyond a few streets in the country, so there is no way to do it. The labor here in Laomei is expensive. If you need a few people to mix it, it is not as good as the cement company. less."

Ju An nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, not to mention the labor, Laomei's service awareness is indeed much stronger than that in China. It is estimated that a home delivery in China is good, and I will stir it for you. You think it is too beautiful. Bar".

Liu Chao looked at it and said, "Don't talk about it! Hurry up, today you and others will be responsible for sucking down the iron nails that fell, and collecting the fallen debris with the old gentleman." After speaking, he pointed to the house An saw the old white man who was about the same age as Ju An's father, and then handed Ju An a rope with a ring-shaped magnet tied to the rope.
