"Haha, let's try first if it works. Don't worry, old man, the families of my students are all rich. If they repair the house, I will ask them to pay you a new one." Chu Ci said with a smile.

"It's even worse for the rich, how can the rich know how to work." The old man looked helpless, feeling that Chu Ci didn't look as reliable as before.

"Hey, why can't rich people know how to work?"

"That's right, we want to repair the house and show it to you!"

"..."

Several people talked in a hurry, except for Jiang Xian who was silent, even Wen Ran said something.

Seeing their angry faces, Chu Ci said, "It's useless to just play tricks, it's the last word for us to see the truth! Old man, take us to see that leaky house."

"My surname is Li, so you can call me old man Li. You are really ashamed of me by calling me old man one by one." The old man walked in slowly.

A large yard, as far as the eye can see, except for a small path in the middle, there are vegetable fields on both sides. There are a few little girls beside the vegetable field, who are carefully tending the vegetables in the field.Seeing a stranger coming, they only looked at them curiously and did not come up to disturb them.

A few stools were set up under the eaves, and there was a big flat basket on it, which was full of clothes.Several women were sitting on small benches, sewing around baskets.

A few cries were heard from a room inside. A little girl who was pulling weeds patted the mud off her hands, then rushed into the room, took the baby and stuffed it into a woman's hand.

The woman put down her needlework and was about to lift her clothes to breastfeed. She seemed to have thought of something, and then she carried the baby back to her room.

The clothes on these people are all washed and turned white, and their bodies are covered with patches. They don't have much love for life in their eyes, they just live indifferently from day to day.

The women in the charity house are either helpless after the death of their husbands, or they are abandoned by their husband's family, and their mother's family refuses to accept them.

The few teenagers who were still clamoring fell silent.There seemed to be some confusion and bewilderment in their eyes.This scene was too far away from them. Even beggars were not allowed on the street where they lived. How could they have seen such a situation?

Seeing that they were thoughtful, Chu Ci couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

"Chu Siye, here we are, here are these few houses. It turned out to be in good condition. A few days ago, there was a strong wind, which may have blown off the tiles and straw on it. When it rained outside, it also drizzled inside." Old man Li pointed to a few rooms near the corner. He couldn't see anything from the outside, but when he walked in, he could smell a damp smell.

"That's okay, I'll let them go up and have a look later, if the tiles are really broken, let them patch up a few pieces."

"But we didn't buy this tile. There used to be a few young people in the yard. Not long ago, they followed a rich man as a long-term follower. Now only me and three other old men with old arms and legs are left here. We How can I move this..." Old man Li babbled on non-stop, and when he gets old, he tends to repeat himself a bit, and he likes to repeat things over and over again.

"Old man, don't worry. I know that the house needs to be repaired, and I have sent someone to pull the tiles." Chu Ci said.As soon as he finished speaking, there was the neighing of a horse at the door.

"Come on, don't be dazed. Come with me and move the tiles in." Chu Ci patted the silent people, and then took the lead to walk outside.

Jiang Xian followed silently, not knowing what he was thinking.The same goes for the others, no longer the reluctance they had before they came.

"Brother...you stepped on the vegetables I planted..." Wen Ran walked last, lost his mind for some reason, strayed off the foot-wide path, and stepped on the vegetable field.

Wen Ran came back to his senses, a vegetable that he didn't know what it was, had been trampled off by him.The little girl who was talking was squatting barefoot beside him and looking up at him, her eyes were especially big on her thin and somewhat out-of-shape face.

Wen Ran suddenly felt uncomfortable, he thought of those sisters at home.Not to mention the sisters themselves, even the rough girls they served were hundreds of times better than hers.He backed up the trail, then apologized to her.

The little girl smiled, shook her head at him, and then pulled out the vegetables whose stems had been trampled on the ground, and planted another one from the side-by-side vegetable seedlings.

"Hey, do you, Wen, want to be lazy? Come out and move the tiles!" At the door, Zhu Mingyue shouted at Wen Ran inside.There is a whole area of ​​tiles that need to be removed!

The tiles are big and black, and one piece weighs about three or four catties.Jiang Xian bent down and picked up the four stacked tiles, then stood up and signaled others to continue adding to his hands.

Others put them on his hands piece by piece, but Chu Ci stopped them from putting them on his hand when he saw that his hands were shaking a little.

"I can still move!" Jiang Xian felt that Chu Ci was looking down on him, and it was only 12 yuan.

"Haste makes waste, and broken tiles can't keep out the rain." Chu Ci said, implying that if you put it on again, it will definitely be broken.

Jiang Xian frowned and walked in with heavy steps.

From the door to the broken house, there is a distance of about 40 meters.Jiang Xianchu felt very relaxed at the beginning, and after running two or three times, he silently replaced the tiles with eight pieces.

Looking at other people, they usually move at a rate of six or seven yuan, like Zhu Mingyue who likes to be lazy, he only moves three yuan at a time, and he is so tired that he groaned.

Standing by the carriage, Zhang Hu watched them move the tiles in, feeling that they were too tired, and tried to roll up his sleeves to help several times, but was stopped by Chu Ci.

How can you be impressed if you don’t really suffer a little bit?Chuci wouldn't do that kind of heavy whipping and light strikes. If punishment has no effect, just don't punish him.

After about seven or eight minutes of moving, the pile of tiles that had been piled up in front of the Tzu Chi Temple was finally moved in by them.

"Don't you usually like to climb over the fence? Now, I will give you a chance to go up to the roof tiles. Who will go up?"

"Si Ye, shall I go up?" Zhu Feng said, the roof looks quite dangerous, if other people fall off, it will be a disaster, he has rough skin and thick flesh, and he is quite durable.

"You are tall, and you will help pass the tiles below."

"Si Ye, let me go up." Wen Ran said, her beautiful face was full of undeniable.

But Chu Ci still rejected him: "You are not as strong as them, and you can't stay on top. You stand by the side, and I will arrange another matter for you later."

"I'll go up." Jiang Xian felt that he just wanted to go up himself, and sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ci agreed.

"Go up one more." Chu Ci said, and then shifted his gaze to Wu Guang.Wu Guang understood, and then said that he and Jiang Xian would go up together.

"You first throw down the scattered tiles on the top, and be careful not to throw them into the vegetable field. Then put a layer of grass mud on the bottom, and then spread the new tiles. Pay attention to the tightness of the tiles, so as not to leak again. Yu, I asked you to come back and do the work again." Chu Ci had already inquired about how to repair the roof, and now he is learning and selling and directing them, as familiar as a craftsman who is used to doing this.

Jiang Xian and Wu Guang climbed up to the roof one after the other. As soon as they got up, they found that there were indeed many broken tiles on the roof.Probably the ones I bought at the beginning were of low quality, but now that they are exposed to the sun, many of them have cracks, and when I pinch them with my hands, they immediately crack in two.

The two put their heads down and threw things down, and Chu Ci took this opportunity to take Zhao Qing and Wen Ran to the backyard to mix grass and mud.The poured mud was sticky and dirty, and some pieces of dry straw were mixed in it, which looked really disgusting.

Zhao Qing and Wen Ran looked at each other in dismay, picked up the thick wooden stick at the side, and endured their nausea to stir.Zhao Qing's movements were a little big, and he accidentally got a little out and got it on Wen Ran's face.

Wen Ran immediately fired a death ray, and the actions of his subordinates became rough.Zhao Qing was a little apologetic at first, but he was also angry when he did this to him.

When Chu Ci turned around to see them again, the two of them were covered in mud spots, and they were still staring at each other, stirring vigorously with their hands, and they no longer looked disgusted.

"Okay, it's almost time for you to mix it up. Put the things in a bucket and send them over."

The broken house in the front yard is already in a mess, with broken tiles all over the place.When the two came over carrying the grass mud, Zhu Mingyue, who was still sitting idle at the side, laughed loudly: "Look at you, you look like peasants who just came back from the fields. It's really dirty."

Chu Ci looked at him and shouted: "Zhu Mingyue, come here."

"Si Ye, what's wrong?"

"You, climb up the ladder and be responsible for passing things up for the two of them."

Zhu Ming stared wide-eyed at the "creaking" ladder, and then looked at Chu Ci.Chu Ci nodded, indicating that there was no need to discuss it.

Zhu Ming climbed up tremblingly, and dared not go up after only three or four steps, so much so that he had to stand on tiptoe when handing them grass mud.

The two people on the roof took a rectangular plank and painstakingly pasted grass mud on the gap, and after the grass mud was pasted, they had to take over the tiles from Zhu Mingyue to build it up.Zhu Feng stood below and kept handing things down to Zhu Mingyue, while the other two were not idle, and went to mix grass and mud again.

"Old man, what's the matter, I think they can do it." Under the other side of the roof, there were Chu Ci and old man Li. After those people formed an assembly line to work, Chu Ci sat here to hide from laziness.

"It looks good, but I don't know if it will leak in the future." Old man Li was a little surprised that these rich young masters could actually repair houses.

"Leak the rain, let Aunt Hua pass the message, and I'll let them come when the time comes." Chu Ci picked up a big bowl of tea, and took a sip boldly, with a hint of cunning hidden in his eyes.

When they met for the first time, he felt that these children were not bad at all, that is, they were just playful and disgusted with learning.Looking at them now, it can be seen that he was right at the time.

Before you know it, the sun is rising.

The six people were so tired that they were dizzy, their mouths were dry, and their sweat could not stop covering their faces.

"Okay, come here and rest for a while." Chu Ci ordered Zhang Hu to drive the carriage to the street to buy some pastries and fruits and so on. Those six hard-working brats.

The six people got the password to rest, and immediately came over, hid under the shady eaves, and sat crookedly on the floor covered with mats, without any image of aristocrats at all.

"How are you, are you tired?" Chu Ci sat on a stool beside him, smiling, and gently shook the paper fan.

"Si Ye, stop making sarcastic remarks, and try to see if you are tired."

"It's good if you know you're tired, and then you still climb over the wall and foul?"

Wu Guang rolled his eyes: "Master Si Ye, can I go back if I admit my mistake?"

"Of course - no! Do you know what it means to start well and finish well? It's the most anticlimactic thing to do. You'd better finish your work honestly before leaving. Aren't I here to accompany you?"

After hearing Chu Ci's words, several people immediately turned their heads and stared at him.Look at the shameless words, they are doing him sitting, eating, and chatting, and this is also called being together?

At this moment, several people successfully formed a long-term labor team, and they had the urge to breathe out their fragrance to Chu Papi, who was in charge of supervising them!This evil teacher right!
