"Auntie Daxi, Auntie Danan, why don't you go and check on your sons? They are hanging with hemp ropes and repairing the wall on the fifth floor." Zhong Tie's wife shouted as she came to the kitchen.

Ye Mei and Chen Dafeng, who were plucking duck feathers, paused abruptly when they heard this, and a trace of nervousness and worry flashed across their faces.

Ye Mei stood up quickly, not caring about the few duck feathers on her hands, and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Why are they repairing the wall on the fifth floor? Where's their father?"

Chen Dafeng also stood up and wiped her hands with her apron while walking out of the house, muttering, "These two children make me worry every day. Let's go and take a look."

Ye Mei followed closely behind her, and the two of them hurriedly left the kitchen. The other people in the kitchen also stopped what they were doing and followed them.

Everyone trotted all the way to the patio, looked up, and looked at Liu Danan and Liu Daxi who were hanging in the air with worry on their faces.

Ye Mei couldn't help but yelled at the top of her voice: "Da Nan, be careful. If it doesn't work, let's not do it. Don't be stubborn! Big sister, you must hold your brother back!"

Ye Mei was so frightened that there was a hint of crying in her voice.

Chen Dafeng was also shouting anxiously, "Daxi, if you feel scared, just tell the maid and ask them to pull you up. We are not in a hurry to repair the building."

Liu Danan, who had already adapted to the situation, felt warm at heart when he heard his mother's call, and quickly responded, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine here, with Nanny Yang and Rendong holding me, nothing will happen, don't worry."

As he spoke, his hands moved faster, thinking of repairing it quickly so that his mother would worry less.

Liu Daxi waved his hands and shouted, "Mom, I'm fine. Look, I'm doing a good job. You and Auntie, don't stand here. Go back and rest."

But Chen Dafeng would never listen to him. She never took her eyes off her son and kept nagging him to be careful.

During this commotion, Liu Shan on the top floor shouted down, "Don't shout for the child's mother and his sister-in-law. Shouting now will distract the children. Nanny Yang and Ren Dong are watching here. They will ensure that they can bring them down safely. You can rest assured."

Song Mingtao also came over and advised, "Yes, sisters-in-law, Danan and Daxi are both smart kids, and with the girl looking after them, there will be no mistakes.

If we keep shouting here, it will make them feel uneasy when they are working."

After hearing this, Ye Mei and Chen Dafeng were still nervous, but they knew that they could not cause any more trouble for the children at this moment. They could only suppress their worries and stand aside and watch quietly.

The other women were also there, comforting them in whispers, and occasionally looking up at the situation upstairs.

After all this work, Liu Danan and Liu Daxi became more focused. They carefully filled every crack with the glutinous rice-lime mixture, leaving no corner untouched.

Time passed quietly as everyone was busy. The sun slowly set in the west, and the afterglow sprinkled on the tower, adding a touch of warmth to the scene of renovation.

After all this work, Liu Danan and Liu Daxi felt sore in their arms and waists, and their movements were not as smooth as they were at the beginning.

Liu Danan wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted upwards: "Mammy, Honeysuckle, let's take a break first. We are really out of energy."

Honeysuckle and Nanny Yang responded quickly, and they worked together to slowly pull them up.

When they were pulled to the top floor, Liu Danan and Liu Daxi suddenly collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, and were so tired that they could hardly speak clearly.

Liu Qiang and Liu Shan also pulled up the wooden barrel. After resting for a while, they continued to work. The women downstairs went to cook, leaving Ye Mei and Chen Dafeng to watch worriedly.

The repair of the tower took a full five days. During these five days, God seemed to be particularly kind to the tower. The weather was unusually good, with clear skies every day, which also allowed the glutinous rice lime to dry particularly quickly.

The renovation of the tower was proceeding in an orderly manner with the concerted efforts of everyone. Liu Danan and Liu Daxi were responsible for the walls of the fourth and fifth floors. With their careful and meticulous repairs, the places that were once riddled with holes due to acid rain gradually regained their former solidity.

The cracks were filled tightly with a mixture of glutinous rice and lime, and the originally mottled wall surface became smooth again.

On the first, second and third floors below, Song Mingtao and other men also worked non-stop, painting, checking and repairing over and over again, giving the entire building a different kind of vitality from the inside out.

Su Yue stood in the courtyard of the tower, looking up at the azure sky, wondering what the world outside would be like once the natural disaster stopped.

She thought that it was not a good idea to always stay in this tower and be completely ignorant of the situation outside. In case of any changes, it would be better to make some preparations in advance.

Song Mingtao, who had just finished reporting on the renovation of the tower, thought this idea from Su Yue was a good idea and thought about organizing some people to go together.

"Girl, I'll organize everyone to go together."

Su Yue did not refuse. Everyone had been staying in the tower for the past few months, and now that there seemed to be no danger, it would be nice to go out for a walk.

Song Mingtao did what he said and quickly gathered everyone together. He also said to everyone: "Let's go out this time. First of all, we can't be at ease if the girl goes out alone.

Although it looks cleaner outside, who knows if there will still be any danger. With so many of us together, it will be better to protect Miss Su.

Secondly, if there is no major problem with the land outside, we can dig some soil back and fill those reservoirs. We can plant vegetables and food in them, and then our building will be self-sufficient and we won’t have to worry about food and drink anymore.”

After hearing this, everyone thought it made sense, and they were all ready to go out and investigate.

Song Mingtao continued to remind: "Be careful when you go out. Although the acid rain has stopped, there is no guarantee that there will be other situations. Everyone should be alert and avoid any accidents." Everyone nodded in response.

On the day of going out, everyone got up early, each bringing their own tools and baskets, and also pulled out two ox carts to carry the soil back to the tower.

Su Yue had also packed up, her eyes showing a hint of caution and anticipation, it seemed that she had been stuck in the tower for too long.

The group walked out of the tower in a mighty procession. As soon as they stepped outside, a fresh and slightly unfamiliar scent hit them in the face.

The scene before me was indeed much cleaner than before, and the thick and dirty mushroom residue on the mountain path had been almost washed away by the rain.
