I trade in both worlds

But now she has several children to rely on, and she has to think about them before doing anything, so she has become timid in doing things.

Xu Xu looked at the children and didn't want to take Xu Jin over, but she also didn't want to disappoint him. He hadn't mentioned this matter in more than ten days, and Xu Xu thought he had forgotten it.

I patted his little head, thought about it and compromised, and whispered: "We'll go after they take a nap in the afternoon, but we can only stay for a short while."

After getting what he wanted, Xu Jin's eyes sparkled with joy, and the joy in his eyes seemed to be overflowing. He nodded vigorously: "Yes."

At noon, Xu Xu was having lunch in the main room with a few children when she suddenly felt water dripping onto her head. She looked up at the roof and a drop of water happened to fall on the tip of her nose. Only then did she realize that the main room was leaking.

Xu Zhun saw her looking up at the roof, so he also looked up and watched the water droplet hit Xu Xu. He said in surprise, "Oh, it's leaking."

Hearing this, Xu Jin and Xu Qiwei also looked up, only to see that the water dripping from the roof was getting more and more frequent. Xu Jin looked at Xu Xu and said, "Sister, do you want to get a basin to hold the water?"

Xu Xu moved the table to the side, nodded and said, "Yes, I'll find a basin, and you guys shouldn't stand where the water is leaking."

As he spoke, he picked up Xu Tingting and touched her. Although he didn't feel any moisture, he still moved the cradle aside. Then he went to the west wing and found a tattered ceramic basin and put it on the ground to collect water, thinking that he would find someone to pick up the tiles in the afternoon.

Seeing several children squatting beside the pottery basin and watching the dripping water, Xu Xu didn't know what was so interesting about it: "Okay, come and eat quickly. There's nothing interesting about this. You guys eat first. I'll go see if there's any water leaking somewhere else."

Xu Xu turned around and looked in the room, but found no leak. He then went to the kitchen, the east and west wing rooms, especially the west wing, which was where food was stored and could not be exposed to water.

After walking around, I found another leaking place only at the kitchen door. I didn't find any other places. Maybe the rain is light now and some of the leaks are not big. Once the rainwater accumulates to a certain level, it will start to leak, just like the main room and the kitchen.

Thinking of this, he quickly went to the utility room to find two pieces of oilcloth, and covered all the food in the west wing with the oilcloth. After covering it, he checked it again to make sure it was covered tightly and should not get wet, and then went back to continue eating lunch.

After lunch, Xu Jin helped Xu Xu clean up the dishes. While washing the dishes, Xu Xu said to Xu Jin, "Xiao Jin, the main room is leaking. I'm going to find someone to pick up the tiles this afternoon. Can you stay at home with your brother and nephew? We'll go over there when we're free in a couple of days."

Xu Jin lowered his head. Although he was disappointed, he knew that the leak in his house was a big deal, so he nodded obediently and said, "Okay."

He rubbed Xu Jin's head and said with a smile, "Okay, you go look after your brother and nephews. I'm going to my second uncle's house. Don't go out to play when it's raining outside. If there's rain leaking somewhere else in the house, find a basin to catch it. If there's a place that can't be put, wait for me to come back and deal with it. Don't climb high."

"Okay, got it." Xu Jin went back to the main room to see the child. Xu Xu changed into rain boots, put on a straw raincoat and held an umbrella as he walked towards Xu Jizong's house.

Seeing Xu Xu coming in the rain, Aunt Xu thought something was wrong. She looked her up and down, and seeing that her clothes were not wet, she asked anxiously, "Why are you here in the rain? What's the matter?"

Xu Jizong and Xu Youyin came out when they heard it, staring at her closely, their eyes full of concern.

Xu Xu put away his umbrella and leaned it against the door. He took off his raincoat and hung it under the eaves. He walked into the house and said with a smile, "My roof has not been inspected this year. There were two places leaking at noon. I want to ask You Yin if he can find a few people to pick up the tiles."

Xu Jizong then remembered that Zhang Yunxiang was ill at the beginning of the year and had not had time to repair the roof. He said with concern, "It's raining now, and it's too late to pick up the tiles today. We have to wait until the rain stops. How about you move in for a few days and move back after the roof is repaired?"

There were no extra rooms in Xu Jizong's house, only a mud house for storing miscellaneous items. If they wanted to move in, Xu Jizong would definitely let Xu Youliang and his brothers move to the storage room and leave a room empty for Xu Xu and others to live in.

She didn't want to make any trouble. She thought that the room wasn't leaking and she could still live there for the time being, so she refused and said, "No, there's only one space in the living room and the kitchen. No other places are leaking. The room is still habitable. Let's not move for now. Besides, you guys are living in a tight spot here."

Xu Jizong thought about it and it made sense. With so many rooms in their house, it was impossible for all of them to leak. Even if the current house was leaking, they could move to another one. There were indeed no extra rooms in the house at the moment, and the empty storage room hadn't been repaired for several years. Who knew if it would leak in the next two days?

Thinking of this, Xu Jizong stopped trying to persuade him: "Okay, if you can't stay over there, then come over here and stay for a few days. It won't be a big problem if we can all squeeze in."

"Okay." Xu Xu agreed and looked at Xu Youyin: "Youyin, should I buy the tiles first? Then I can repair it directly after the rain stops?"

Xu Youyin asked, "Do you have any new tiles left at home?"

Xu Xu shook his head: "Probably not. I haven't seen any tiles when I cleaned the house these few days."

"Then you'd better buy some. Actually, it's okay if you don't buy any. You can pick them up first. If you find any broken ones, you can buy some later. It's still in time. It just takes one more day to repair them."

Xu Xu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's buy some. If we can't use them this year, we can use them next year. They won't break down anyway, so the sooner we can fix them, the better."

Xu Youyin felt that Xu Xu was very generous and nodded decisively: "Okay, I'll go buy it and find the person for you."

"Okay." It would be best if I could be a hands-off boss, not having to worry about anything and just being responsible for withdrawing money.

"How many watts do you plan to buy?" Xu Youyin asked.

Xu Xu blinked and said, "Didn't you say you would buy it?"

Xu Youyin didn't quite understand: "Yes, I'll buy it for you, but you have to tell me how much to buy, or do you want me to arrange it?"

Xu Xu waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's up to you. Buy as much as you think you should buy. It's okay to buy more, as long as you don't buy less."

Then he took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed them to Xu Youyin: "I only brought two taels of silver with me. I don't know if it's enough. Tell me the tile money and wages after you finish repairing it. I'll make up for the difference. Also, I don't provide meals, so you can increase the wages appropriately."

Xu Youyin took the money and said, "Okay, when the rain stops, I'll find someone for you and make sure everything is arranged for you."
