Ju An thought for a moment and asked, "How much would it cost to replace the roof?"
Liu Chao smiled and said: "About four to five thousand dollars. It may be more, but it's not much more. People from the insurance company came over and took a look, and they paid nearly seven thousand dollars. This money is enough."
.
"Will you pay for it if you switch to another roof insurance company?" Ju An asked strangely.
Liu Chao looked at Ju An with the look of a country bumpkin and said, "Didn't you buy the house insurance? If the roof is damaged, of course the insurance company will be responsible for the compensation. What would I do if I didn't pay the house insurance?"
Ju An scratched his head and said: "My house must have been paid for. When I came here, I bought a lot of bird insurance, medical care, housing, property, and real estate taxes. I paid for it."
A lawyer told me at the time that it was best to hand over a huge pile, he is really a vampire."
Liu Chao said: "In the future, when you go to the hospital, be careful when the hospital mails you a bill. These hospitals are shady and will sometimes send you the bill twice. Don't pay twice. If you don't mention it,
I didn’t return it to you at all. Your sister-in-law found out last time and overcharged us by a thousand dollars."
Ju An said in surprise: "It seems that doctors in any country are not angels in white, they are all disciples of the devil! Well, I will be careful if I remember. I also think that American medical care is much better no matter what."
Liu Chao said: "Bullshit! The medical security in the United States is not as good as that in Canada."
While he was complaining about the evil medical security system of the United States, he heard Zhao Nan coming home. Liu Chao took Ju An back to the living room and continued to sit on the sofa and chat.
After Zhao Nan changed clothes and went downstairs, Liu Chao said to Zhao Nan: "My wife, get some food. Anzi and I haven't eaten yet. We ate some fruits and cookies at the company and we are 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 so, just get a bowl."
When Liu Chao heard this, he quickly said: "Yes, do you have fried rice? Give me a bowl too."
Zhao Nan said: "Fried rice needs to be cooked first, so I'm going to get some rice now and then cook." Then he walked to the kitchen.
Ju An then shouted: "Sister-in-law, the rice is cooked hard. I will fry it myself later. Do you have any green onions and chili sauce? If so, please get some. I don't have these things at home."
Zhao Nan's voice came from the kitchen: "Yes, you and your senior brother come from the same place. They all have the same taste. We have spring onions, chili sauce, soy sauce, shredded pork, and salted duck eggs."
Liu Chao said, "Okay! Just cook the rice. I haven't had Anzi's fried rice for a long time. When I was in college, this kid always came to our dormitory to eat fried rice."
Ju An smiled and said: "I forgot to buy chili sauce. This time I will buy a box from you and take it home to eat slowly. I also bought some domestic onion seeds. I will cook noodles and stir-fry them later.
It’s convenient for a meal and everything else. The ducks I have here have already laid eggs when they arrived. Mom is collecting them and preparing to make a jar to marinate them. When you get over in autumn, you will probably be able to eat them. When you get over in winter, the cows
The mutton hot pot, combined with the fish and shrimp in my drink, tastes so good."
Zhao Nan said with a smile in the kitchen: "I can't blame your senior brother for calling you a foodie. I just came back for a while and you brought food."
Ju An said nonchalantly: "Appetite is one of the great joys in life. Now my pursuit is to be satisfied if I can eat what I want, and then I can have a daughter-in-law. My wife and children will be on the bed, and I will give birth to a son, etc."
When he went to college, I bought him a Rolls-Royce and sent him there. Then I bought him a random Ferrari or something like that in school, so that he could concentrate on picking up girls. I let him do everything I wanted to do in college and failed to do.
This guy made my dream come true."
Liu Chao and Zhao Nan burst into laughter after hearing this.
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 want to go to the next alumni meeting or not? If you want to go, I will let you know then."
Ju An said: "You guys have PhDs and master's degrees, and I am a little undergraduate. What are you doing there? Isn't it embarrassing? After all, I don't know many people, so I won't go!".
Liu Chao went on to talk a lot, but in the end he couldn't get Ju An to relent. Originally, Ju An was a character who would rather do less than do more, and he really didn't have much interest in meeting people he didn't know.
After waiting for a while, Ju An went to the kitchen to see that the rice was ready. He unplugged the plug, opened the lid of the pot, and let the rice cool. Then he took out a few eggs from the refrigerator and took them
I took out the green onions, picked off the dead leaves, rinsed them in the sink, put them on the chopping board and chopped them into small pieces, and then shouted to the senior brother in the living room: "Brother, do you have any meat oil at home?"
Liu Chao then got up and went to the refrigerator and took out the lard and handed it to Ju An. Ju An put a pan on the stove and lit it, heating the pan first.
After the pot is hot, scoop out two or three spoons of meat oil and put it into the pot to melt. Then shake the pot back and forth until the oil covers the bottom of the pot. Then beat the eggs in a bowl, stir them, and pour
Sprinkle the green onions into the oil pan, stir the pan a few times, then pour the rice into the pan, and stir-fry it. While frying, add some soy sauce, MSG, and salt. After a while, there are two plates.
The light maroon color and fragrant fried rice is ready.
Liu Chao couldn't sit still when he smelled the aroma, so he came over to help cut a duck egg in half, and then brought the hot sauce to the dining table, and then he and Ju An started to feast. Zhao Nan went downstairs and entered the kitchen.
He praised: "Anzi, this fried rice is really fragrant, smelling it makes you want to eat."
Ju An was pouring the chili sauce into the bowl and said, "There is still more than half a bowl in the pot. Sister-in-law, why don't you come and have a taste too?"
Zhao Nan heard that he also took a small bowl and filled it with a small bowl. He sat at the table, took a bite and said, "It's really good."
Liu Chao said while eating: "Your sister-in-law doesn't like to use lard in fried rice. She always uses olive oil. She is afraid of gaining weight. But Anzi's fried rice has the taste of hometown and is refreshing."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Nan said: "I work in the office all day, and my blood fat is a bit high. Eating so much lard is not good for my health."
Ju An smiled and said: "Yes! Senior brother, your figure is out of shape, you have to keep it in shape."
Zhao Nan ate a small bowl and then went upstairs. Ju An and Liu Chao divided the rest of the pot into two portions. After eating, the two of them sat on the sofa and rubbed their stomachs. They felt so satisfied, forget it.
.
Early on Saturday morning, Ju An was woken up by Liu Chao. When he saw that it was getting dark, Liu Chao shouted to Ju An to get up quickly and brush his teeth. After a while, he would go to KFC to buy breakfast. After a while, his friends would arrive.
, and the car delivering materials will probably arrive at seven o'clock, so let him watch it downstairs.
After saying that, he dragged Ju An up from the bed, got up in a daze, brushed his teeth, changed his clothes, and walked out of the door. It was summer after all, and the sky was getting bright so fast. It took a while for Ju An to sit in the yard.
On the swing, he was swinging and looking at the intersection. The delivery truck hadn't arrived yet, but Liu Chao came back, bought some burgers and brought a Family Bucket with him.
As soon as I helped take breakfast out of the car, a pickup truck drove over. Four or five pickup trucks came one after another, and a foreigner got out of it. One of them was almost the same grade as Ju An's father.
An An secretly muttered, this old man can go up to the roof to change the roof, what if it falls down?
A large group of people came down and took down seven or eight ladders. Actually, every foreigner brought a ladder.
Liu Chao also took out two ladders from home, and Ju An asked: "These foreigners also bring their own ladders?"
Liu Chao laughed and explained to Ju An: "These old Americans bring their own tools when they go out to help with work. You will see later, they all bring hammers, shovels, screwdrivers, pliers and the like.
It’s here”.
Ju An nodded blankly, and Liu Chao introduced Ju An to the group of foreign friends. They all said hello and started having breakfast.
After finishing breakfast and resting for a few minutes, he saw a large crane coming over, with more than twenty packages of things placed on the large platform behind it. When Liu Chao saw the crane coming, he said to Ju An: "Send materials."
"The truck is here." He called two foreigners to climb up the ladder to the roof.
When the crane approached the house, a white driver in his forties got out of the car, took a remote control in his hand, used the crane arm to lift the more than twenty packages at the back, and then slowly put them down
Going up to the roof, 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 then controlled the crane arm remotely and drove the crane away.
At this time, when he saw Liu Chao coming down, Ju An stepped forward and said, "These materials are delivered like this. The service is really good. I will help you lift things for free."
Liu Chao said: "The competition here in the United States is fierce. Let me tell you, if you buy cement in China, it must come in bags. You also need to buy sand and other things to mix it yourself. Here you can call the water directly.
The company will transport the mixed cement to you and provide services. Lao America is indeed a few streets out of the country. There is nothing we can do about it. Labor is expensive here in Lao America. You need to find a few people to mix it, which is not as good as the cost of a cement company.
Not much."
Ju An nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, not to mention the labor, the service awareness in the United States is indeed much better than that in the country. I guess a door-to-door delivery service in the country is good, and they also mix it for you. What you think is so beautiful.
Bar".
Liu Chao looked at it and said: "Don't be ridiculous! Hurry up, today you and I will be responsible for sucking up the fallen nails and collecting the fallen debris with the old gentleman." After speaking, he pointed at the house.
The old white man An saw, who was about the same age as Ju An's father, then handed Ju An a rope with a circular magnet tied to it.
