Sure enough, Xu Kai stared at me and thought for a while, then finally nodded. But after thinking about it for a moment, he smiled bitterly and said: "But renovation is a very troublesome thing, and it can't be done on the spur of the moment."

Tsk, I’m so speechless. I thought of this when Yang Wei spoke to me last night. So before I came to Xu Kai’s house in the morning, I contacted a private renovation contractor.

"It's okay. As long as you agree, I can call someone to do renovations for you." I quickly changed my expression and took out my mobile phone from my pocket: "I have known each other since we have been hanging out together in the past two years.

There are quite a few people waiting."

"" Xu Kai still pursed his lips and was thinking.

I gritted my teeth. I still knew this guy's concerns. So I continued to add: "It's okay. My friend can give me a discount. Let him come over to see your house and then set the price. How much should we discuss?

Qian, I have worked with him before."

I finished this sentence with a smile. Although I was smiling on my face, in my heart I felt like I was telling lies. I have really reached a high level. I could tell lies without blinking an eyelid.

.

After hearing what I said, Xu Kai's expression softened, and he nodded slightly and said: "Then let your friend come over and have a look first. If the price is suitable, then make the final decision."

"Yeah," I nodded and was about to press the phone number of the contractor and call him. Xu Kai looked straight at me, making me nervous for a while.

I had no choice but to walk into the yard with a smile, stand in the corner and talk to the contractor on the phone. Considering Xu Kai’s family situation and his feelings, I thought about it for a long time, and then discussed with the contractor and let him put all the

After the cost is calculated, just chat with me privately about the actual cost, and just quote Xu Kai a price as low as 10,000 yuan.

The contractor was silent for a long time and never responded to me. I was forced to tell him about helping my friend, and the contractor agreed.

When I got back to the house, Xu Kai was sitting on the sofa picking leeks. It seemed that their family wanted to eat dumplings at noon. I was very happy, hehe, I can have dumplings at noon today. It’s really great.

"My family is having noodle soup for lunch. Xiaoyang, please stay and have a meal together."

Are you so happy?!

"Huh? Noodle soup? Then why are you picking leeks?" Although the situation was a bit unexpected, I still kept a calm tone and asked him with a smile.

Xu Kai shook a small handful of leeks in his hand and said: "This is the dish for lunch today. Since there is no other dish at home, I put it into the noodle soup." At the end of the sentence, he also smiled bitterly. "It's not a good meal, Xiaoyang.

Do you want to stay and eat?"

Xu Kai asked without confidence. Although the dumplings I had in mind failed to come to fruition, I still nodded happily.

So, I started to help Xu Kai choose and wash vegetables, while Xu Kai went to the vegetable garden in the yard and pounded some onions and garlic grown at home and brought them back for seasoning.

Near noon, Xu Kai's mother, whom she had never met before, came back. She was in her forties and a very elegant woman. Although the clothes she wore were a little old, they were still clean, and some of them were even washed white.

"Mom, are you back?" Xu Kai called as he looked at the woman walking into the yard.

The woman was carrying a maroon bag. After hearing Xu Kai's greeting, she immediately turned her face and responded to her son: "You are back, and you don't even know. That little girl here,

She is really a family member, and so is the wife. She is a very nice person, and she even gave me a lipstick."

As she said that, the woman took out the lipstick in her bag and showed it to Xu Kai as if she were offering a treasure. Xu Kai nodded in agreement: "Well, the color is really beautiful. If mom uses it, it will definitely look better."

"My son is really good at talking." The woman laughed happily, her eyes were like half crescent moons, and she narrowed slightly.

"It's very beautiful, auntie. This lipstick suits you very well." I looked at the mother and son, who also walked out of the house with a small bowl filled with onions and garlic. I praised them as I walked.

The woman was slightly startled, turned around and looked at me. She did not ask directly, but cast a searching look at her son.

Xu Kai quickly introduced: "Mom, this is my high school classmate and best friend, Duan Muyang. He stays at our house for lunch at noon, hehe."

The woman suddenly looked at the big pot where rice was being cooked, and said to me rather awkwardly: "There's nothing to eat at home, so I'm just going to order some clear soup noodles, Xiaoyang, don't mind."

"It's okay, Auntie, I just like noodles. Our family has always eaten noodles, and we have been eating them for more than ten years. Besides, we northerners all grew up eating noodles, and it's not like southerners eat noodles.

Rice." I grinned and placed the small bowl in my hand on the simple chopping board.

The woman looked at me with praise, then turned to greet Xu Kai, and then went into the house to take care of Xu Kai's father.

While cooking, I also learned about the current situation of their family from Xu Kai's mouth. Their family was originally very happy. My father earned money to support the family and worked in the company. My mother was a housewife.

The family cleans up the house and takes care of the father and son.

In addition, during that time, there was news that the old house was going to be demolished, so the family was even more happy. It was precisely because of the news that the old house was to be demolished that in order to get more demolition money, Xu Kai's father thought about giving it to his old house.

Renovate the house and build a second floor.

Xu Kai's father is a superstitious person. After being introduced by a friend, he met a feng shui master who claimed to be quite famous. According to the instructions of the master, he renovated the old house.

Unexpectedly, things got worse and worse after the renovation was completed. His father's career began to fail, and the demolition matter was also abandoned for some reason. The next year, it was due to a car accident, and so far,

Xu Kai's father has been bedridden for more than a year.

The family had no money, so after his father was discharged from the intensive care unit, he was brought back home directly from the hospital. And his mother began to go out to do some odd jobs, but worked as an hourly worker for others.

Cleaning and other things to support Xu Kai's father.

In order to change the situation at home, Xu Kai tried to start a business on his own, but the result was predictable. Everything failed. In the past few years, none of his business ventures were successful.

People say that everyone will experience a low point for a period of time in their life. However, this low point for Xu Kai's family is a bit too low.

He really hit the bottom of the trough and couldn't climb out. It made people feel a little sympathetic.
