White Olive Tree

9 • Meeting The Boyfriend

Song Lisa was too busy for the next two days, and she also worked overtime on Saturday, so she had no time to return the rope. Li Jungkook didn't call to urge her, perhaps he was even busier.

On Sunday morning, Song Lisa suddenly remembered this while sorting books at home and flipped out the small note. She leaned against the wooden window on the second floor and hesitated a little: What will happen after the rope is returned?

But she couldn't think of any other way, so she took out her cell phone. When the wind blew, she let go of it without noticing. The small white note flew up in the wind, like a white butterfly spinning in the air, and landed on the gardenia tree and disappeared into a flower.

Song Lisa immediately ran downstairs, stood under the tree, and craned her neck to look forward. There were green leaves and white flowers, but there was no trace of the note.

There was a car noise outside. A van stopped outside the courtyard gate and two or three workers got out. They were the construction team that had agreed to add a moisture-proof layer to the house.

They agreed to arrive at nine o'clock, not a minute late.

Before he retired, Lao Li was a construction quality inspector. He was exposed to the sun for a long time, so his skin color is darker than that of ordinary people. But he has a handsome appearance, and you can vaguely tell that he was a handsome man when he was young.

He was efficient and experienced. He walked into the house, looked around the floor and corners, and quickly gave several construction plans. He clearly analyzed the time and cost, pros and cons. In the end, he recommended a cost-effective option to Song Lisa , which could get the job done in one day.

After Song Lisa took the initiative, Lao Li took three workers to move the furniture away and used a machine to pry up the cement floor.

Soon the floor was completely lifted, revealing the wet bricks and soil underneath. They worked very quickly, not slacking off at all. Song Lisa had a good impression of them.

The construction noise was so loud that she couldn't read, so she just sat aside and watched them mixing the gravel.

"Uncle, what is that?" she asked him, pointing at a roll of black stuff.

"Waterproofing membrane." Old Li doesn't talk much, but he opens up when it comes to work. "The terrain here on Beimen Street is low and humid. I'm afraid that the cement mortar won't be enough, so I need to add another layer of membrane. I'll also make double moisture-proofing for the base of the exterior and interior walls, so you won't get wet during the rainy season next time."

"Oh." Song Lisa sat on the steps, holding his chin and asked, "Uncle, Grandma Wang said you are from Jiangcheng, why did you come to Liangcheng?"

Old Li wiped the sweat off his head and said with a smile, "My son is here."

At this time, a worker interrupted: "Uncle Li's son is really amazing. Miss Song, you will never guess what he does."

Song Lisa became interested: "What do you do?"

"An elite member of the military who is good at bomb disposal. He is a key member of the national team. The Imperial City Military District has been trying to recruit him, but the Jiangcheng Military District is unwilling to let him go."

Song Lisa : "So amazing?!"

"Yes. He is only 23 years old, but he has won several second-class merits. He will become a high-ranking officer in the army in the future. Tsk, Lao Li is going to enjoy his life."
