After wearing the chronological control group

"Okay, don't be angry." Ye Weixie hilariously held back the person who was furious, wishing to step on the Hot Wheels and flee home immediately, "I'm not angry, why are you angry?"

"I'm angry that they don't know what to do." Yu Qinghe turned around, with the coldness of a young man in his voice.

The green eyes hidden under the lens were even more chilly.

A hair tie with a bow, plus the cost of labor, is only [-] cents at most.

Very cheap.

If it was bought by the other party, then she can throw it away if she wants, and she can do whatever she wants, and he won't say a word that is superfluous.

But now, that was Ye Weixie's wish, but it was trampled on like this.

He felt wronged for the boy.

Ye Weixie just smiled when he heard the words, and walked forward, saying: "I'm not popular with everyone, and the RMB of Huajianhuakai can make everyone like it, so they don't know what's good or bad. It’s just human nature, don’t worry too much about it.”

When passing by, Yu Qinghe's eyes fell on Ye Weixie's face.

The young man lowered his brows and eyes, his expression was light, and his porcelain-white face, in the halo at the junction of day and night, revealed a sense of pity that saw through the world of mortals.

It seems that there is no nostalgia for this world anymore.

Yu Qinghe's heart skipped a beat, and before he could react, he had already grabbed the arm that was dangling in front of his eyes.

Ye Weixi was taken aback, stopped and turned his head to look at him at the same time, "What's wrong?"

Yu Qinghe looked at Ye Weixie.

The young man has red lips and white teeth, and the tails of his peach blossom eyes are slightly lifted up, which is just the right questioning expression.

The familiar appearance made him feel that the compassion he saw before was just his illusion.

He shook his head, "Nothing."

Ye Weixie tilted his head and looked at Yu Qinghe. The light is a little dim now, and it is difficult to see the expressions on each other's faces when they are close, but Ye Weixie can feel that the child is not happy now.

What if the child is unhappy?Coax?

He thought for a while, looked around, and walked towards a clump of dogtail grass, "Wait for me."

Yu Qinghe didn't know what Ye Weixie was going to do, he was taken aback for a moment and then heeled over.

When he got closer, he saw Ye Weixie was holding a piece of dog's tail grass in his hand, flipped his fingers, and wove a long piece of dog's tail grass into a grass ring in two or three strokes.

The rhizomes make rings, and the long ears make diamonds.

"Give me your hand." Ye Weixie beckoned to Yu Qinghe.

Yu Qinghe stretched out his hand subconsciously, "Why..."

The next moment, the ring made of bristlegrass was put on the middle finger of his left hand.

Yu Qinghe's eyes widened suddenly.

The hand held by the young man seemed to be on fire, the fingertips trembled slightly, and the heat rose up, and instantly spread to the limbs and bones like an electric shock.

Yu Qinghe only felt that the tip of his heart was numb, and even his hair was full of trembling.

"Okay," Ye Weixie straightened the dog's tail grass ring, looked at Yu Qinghe and said with a smile, "Brother gave you a beautiful ring, don't be unhappy, okay?"

Through the lens, Yu Qinghe stared deeply at the smiling young man in front of him, as if he wanted to carve him into his heart.

After a while, he opened his hoarse throat, "...OK."

"Then smile." Ye Weixie let go of Yu Qinghe's hand, and turned to pinch his face, "My face is almost freezing, hurry up and give me a smile."

Yu Qinghe stiffened his facial muscles and pulled the corners of his mouth to smile.

But the more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, and the expression he showed in the end was a bit hideous.

Ye Weixie burst into laughter immediately, he let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, smiling is uglier than crying, I don't make things difficult for you, if you don't want to laugh, let's not laugh."

"I—" Yu Qinghe worried that Ye Weixie would be disappointed, and anxiously wanted to explain.

But Ye Weixie patted the child's arm, interrupted his words to comfort him: "Okay, good boy, it's okay, you can laugh for me when you want to laugh."

"Okay." Yu Qinghe lowered his brows and eyes with some disappointment.

"Let's go home," Ye Weixie grabbed the child's wrist and led them back, then whispered, "I'm hungry and a little sleepy, I need to go to bed early tonight." He yawned very appropriately.

Yu Qinghe glanced down at the wrist being held, and felt joy in his heart. No matter what the other party said, he just said, "Okay."

As for the previous depression, it has long since disappeared.

"Then go faster."

"Ah."

It was probably because it was getting late, and they went back along the way, but they didn't meet anyone except a few children running past.

It's less embarrassing.

"Does brother know who spread the rumor?" Yu Qinghe asked suddenly when he was about to get home.

A mockery flashed across Ye Weixie's face, "Who else is there besides my good second uncle?"

"Brother, what do you want to do?" Yu Qinghe asked.

Ye Weixie pondered for a while, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

In fact, he doesn't care much about the gossip about disaster stars and nemesis. They like to think so, so let's think so, and he won't lose a piece of meat.

But, it's not his style to let Ye Yongmin jump around there.

And the most important point is that he is already bored, so he has to find a solution once and for all, otherwise it would be a waste of time to make endless calculations.

"It shouldn't be too long, though," he said.

"Why don't you leave it to me?" Yu Qinghe said suddenly.

"Huh?" Ye Weixie looked at him in surprise, "Leave it to you?"

"Yes." Yu Qinghe nodded.

In the night, Yu Qinghe's originally cold voice was tinged with warmth, "I promise to help my brother deal with it, so that there will be no future troubles, once and for all."

"This..." Ye Weixie tilted his head and thought for a while, it seems that it is not impossible, anyway, he has the bottom line in the end.

"Then you deal with it. But it's agreed in advance that if you can't do it, you won't do it. If you really want to do it, protect yourself."

"Ok, I know."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the dog's tail grass again, Ye Weixie let go of Yu Qinghe and at the same time bent down and pulled one.

Within half a minute, a freshly baked 'ring' had been worn on his own hand.

"Look!" Ye Weixie stretched out his hand in front of Yu Qinghe, "Isn't the new weave beautiful?"

Yu Qinghe's eyes fell on the slender jade-like hand. The boy's skin was white and his wrist bones were slightly raised. When the small dogtail grass swayed with the wind, it would gently rub against the back of his hand.

"Yes." he said.

"very beautiful."

"It's really discerning," Ye Weixie smiled with peachy eyes, "Then this will be our brotherhood ring from now on."

Yu Qing and Lian Mou said, "...Okay."

After returning home to put down his things, Ye Weixie stretched his waist, and was about to go to Qi's house, but Yu Qinghe suddenly stopped him, "Brother."

"Huh?" Ye Weixie turned to look over, "What's wrong?"

"This," Yu Qinghe pointed to the hand hanging by his side, "Do you want to wear it to Qi's family?"

"What?" Ye Weixie looked down in the direction of his finger, only to realize that he was still wearing the bristlegrass ring on his hand, he laughed, "Ah, I almost forgot."

He quickly took it off and was about to throw it away.

Yu Qinghe's eyebrows twitched, and he took it quickly with quick eyes and hands, and then said, "It's a pity to lose it, give it to me."

Ye Weixie raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Do you like it?"

"Well, I think it looks pretty." Yu Qinghe lowered his brows and dared not look at Ye Weixie, as if something would be invisible just by looking at each other.

"Wait for me." He turned and went back to the room.

Ye Weixie looked at Yu Qinghe's back and smiled meaningfully. He didn't expect that a child who can remove someone's arm with one hand would like things like dogtail grass. Could this be the cuteness of contrast?

Tsk, so cute!

Well, he remembered that he could make grasshoppers when he was in elementary school, and he doesn’t know if he can still make them now, he will have to try it another day.

The two came to Qi's house.

Just as Yu Qinghe raised his hand to knock on the door, there was a loud shout from inside the door——

"She farts!!! If Wei Xie is a disaster star, then she is a broom star."

It was Wang Chunhua's voice.

Yu Qinghe silently withdrew his hand that was about to knock on the door, "Is Aunt Hua's combat power so strong?"

Usually, Wang Chunhua would smile when talking to them, but she didn't expect it to be so shocking when it became popular.

Ye Weixie recalled Aunt Hua's fighting strength when she helped him quarrel with Zhao Yuling before, and said, "It's just an appetizer."

As if to verify his words,

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chunhua's voice filled with righteous indignation, piercing through the sky——

"Her son ran into the mountains to play with himself and injured his foot. What's the matter with Weixi? Did Weixie let him go, or did Weixie force him to go?"

"I'm ashamed to blame others for my own suffering. Why is her face so big?"

"Also, how did I hurt my foot, don't I know? This can all be attributed to Wei Xie, why doesn't she go to heaven?"

"According to what she said, everything is blamed on Wei Xie, so next time she can't poop, is it also Wei Xie's fault?"

Ye Weixi outside the door: "..." That's not necessary.

Yu Qinghe: "..."

Suddenly I want to laugh.

Ye Weixie pointed at him, "Don't laugh."

"Okay, don't smile." Yu Qinghe pursed his lips, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

In the yard, Qi Huihui was yelled at by her mother several times, and she was aggrieved, "Mom, don't yell at me, it's not what I said, I just relay what I heard today."

"Do you think I want to yell at you?" Wang Chunhua patted her feet, "If I could walk, I would have rushed to Sun's house, where is it her turn to gossip?"

"Hehe," Qi Huihui sneered, "That's really wronged you."

"No!"

Qi Huihui: "..." You really know how to stick a stick!

After Wang Chunhua muttered, she said to Qi Huihui: "Go and find out who spread the word. Can the person who spread the word be wise? People will believe such false words."

"What's the point of asking?" Qi Huihui said, "Except for the unrested second uncle's family, who else has hatred against him?"

Wang Chunhua slapped the table violently, "Why are those Ye Yongmin and Zhao Yuling again, haunted all day long."

When Qi Dajun heard the sound of slapping the table, he finally couldn't help poking his head out of the kitchen and said to Wang Chunhua, "Can you keep your voice down so that half the village can hear it."

"I heard it when I heard it. I'm still afraid of her?" Wang Chunhua said dissatisfied, "If you have the ability, let her come to me and see if I don't scold her to death."

"And Qi Dajun, where are you standing? You don't believe in that ghost, do you?"

Qi Dajun: "..." He is like snow in June.

"Am I that kind of person?"

"Then what do you want me to do in a low voice?" Wang Chunhua stared.

Qi Dajun sighed, and explained: "I was afraid that you would be too loud and let Wei Xie hear you."

When Wang Chunhua heard this, she immediately regretted it.

Seeing her daughter who was eating as if no one else was around, she couldn't help but shift the flames, "And you, why didn't you remind me to keep your voice down? You know how to eat all day long."

Qi Huihui: "..."

Qi Huihui widened her eyes, pointed at herself and asked, "Is it my fault?"

Wang Chunhua didn't feel guilty at all, "Who do you blame?"

Qi Huihui: "..."

"Okay, blame it." Anyway, I'm used to it.

Wang Chunhua sighed.

After the village chief came out last time, Zhao Yuling finally stopped cursing at the appointed time. She thought that the matter was over here, but she didn't expect that just after the end of the other side, a new thing was made here.

She really didn't understand why Ye Yongmin had such a deep hatred with Dafang to ruin Ye Weixie's reputation so much.

Let's talk about being detained and losing money, it's none of Ye Weixi's business.

If Ye Yongmin hadn't been greedy and wanted to monopolize the compensation of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, nothing would have happened.

So in the final analysis, today's situation is his own fault.

But now the other party put the blame on Ye Weixie, and gave him the reputation of being a nemesis.

Really are……

Wang Chunhua didn't even know what to say about Ye Yongmin.

"Did Weixie dig Ye Yongmin's family grave in his previous life?"

"Who says it's not." Qi Huihui picked up a plum casually and said while chewing, "I think Weixie really has a lot of bad luck."

"The sudden disappearance of his parents is enough for him to be sad, but his second uncle and aunt coveted his family's land and came to the door and forced him to drink pesticides. This matter finally passed, and his second uncle carried him behind his back , wanting to embezzle his parents’ compensation.”

"Okay!" Qi Huihui spread her hands, "At the critical moment, the police solved the case, Ye Yongmin was detained, and he finally came out after paying for it. Later, Zhao Yuling stopped cursing, so I wanted to say, this matter should be over, right?"

"But still nothing."

"As soon as I entered the village today, I listened to the evil stars."

"Don't say [-]%, I think at least [-]% of the village believe it."

Outside the door, Ye Weixie looked at the sky speechlessly, "So I am so miserable in their hearts?"

Yu Qinghe asked calmly, "Is what sister Huihui said true?"

Ye Weixie thought for a while, "Basically."

Yu Qinghe pursed his lips, sure enough, he beat Ye Yongmin lightly.

In the yard, Wang Chunhua frowned, "It won't work like this."

Qi Huihui threw the fruit core into the trash can and said, "No, but the mouth grows on someone else, what can you do?"

Wang Chunhua pondered for a while, and said: "Well, Huihui, go and call the village chief for me, and we can discuss how to stop this rumor, or if this matter continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to think about it until it stops."

"Farewell." Qi Huihui said with a look of disgust, "When I came back, the one who jumped the highest was Grandma Ninth."

Wang Chunhua was puzzled, "Why?"

"I heard that Uncle Dashu was rubbed on his leg by a tractor today and went to the hospital. Ninth Grandma blamed it on Wei Xie, so you should go to the village chief to discuss it. Wouldn't it add fuel to the fire?"

Wang Chunhua wanted to say that Aunt Jiu was not such an unreasonable person, but thinking of how the other party protected the calf in the past, it was not impossible.

"What should I do?"

"do not know."

"What use are you for?" Wang Chunhua disliked it.

Qi Huihui: "..." Why is it always me who gets hurt?

"Unrest? Qinghe? Why don't you go in?"

A voice of inquiry came from behind, Ye Weixie and Yu Qinghe turned around and found that it was Qi Wei.

The other party should have just left work, and his whole body is almost covered with cement marks, only one face is still clean.

"Just about to knock on the door," Ye Weixie smiled, and said, "Brother Qi Wei just got off work?"

"Yeah." What happened to Fang Zi, Qi Wei didn't know how to face Ye Weixie.

Just as he was about to apologize, the door was suddenly pulled open, and Qi Huihui poked her head out, "I knew it was you."

"Hurry up, the meal will be ready soon."

Qi Wei could only swallow back the unfinished words.

But as Qi Wei's biological mother, Wang Chunhua couldn't see his thoughts.

So as soon as the three of them approached, she said to Ye Weixie: "Weixie, after much deliberation, I think I still have to say sorry to you, we didn't take a good look at the prescription, and someone took it."

"Mom!" Qi Wei became anxious when he heard this, "This has nothing to do with you, it's me..."

Wang Chunhua waved her hand, "It's because I didn't handle the family dispute well that this happened, so..."

"Wait, Aunt Hua." Ye Weixie interrupted Wang Chunhua with his hand, and said, "Uncle Qi said that the [-]% profit will not lose me, is it true?"

"That must be true, we will definitely owe you a penny." Wang Chunhua hastily promised.

Qi Dajun nodded.

"I'll pay the money." Qi Wei said.

Although Qi Huihui didn't make a sound, her expression gave an affirmative answer.

Ye Weixie blinked, and said with an innocent expression: "The matter about Fang Zi has nothing to do with me."

Everyone present: "..."

It makes fucking sense.

For Ye Weixie, as long as his [-]% profit is not less, it doesn't matter who owns the prescription.

Yu Qinghe at the side pursed his lips and smiled, it was indeed his brother's style.

This is really neat.

Qi Huihui looked at the night sky in a daze and said, "Did we think too much before?"

Wang Chunhua echoed: "I think your elder brother is thinking too much."

Qi Wei: "..." After all, it was a wrong payment.

Fang Zi's matter was resolved in such a weird way.

During the meal, the Qi family didn't mention the calamity, Ye Weixie and Yu Qinghe also regarded it as ignorant, the six of them had their own thoughts, and finished dinner happily.

Until the dishes were cleaned up and they sat in the yard chatting.

Wang Chunhua tentatively asked, "That's not over yet, have you heard any rumors before?"

Ye Weixie didn't like to beat around the bush, so he asked directly: "Aunt Hua is talking about the disaster star?"

"What calamity?" Qi Wei had worked in the next town for a day today, so he didn't know what happened.

Qi Huihui pulled him away directly, "I'll tell you."

But Wang Chunhua didn't expect Ye Weixie to be so straightforward, she was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You know?"

"Yes, I know." Ye Weixie didn't deny it.

Wang Chunhua pondered for a moment, "Then you..."

Ye Weixie smiled, and said indifferently: "Aunt Hua, Uncle Qi, I'm fine. And the mouth grows on them, they can say whatever they want, it doesn't affect me anyway."

"How could it be unaffected?" Wang Chunhua frowned, "You don't want your reputation anymore?"

"If you really want to bear the reputation of being a disaster star, how will you gain a foothold in Hexi Village in the future?"

Because I didn't intend to gain a foothold in Hexi Village at all, Ye Weixie said in his heart.

In the current era where contact is basically by writing letters, once he leaves Yuanfeng County and Hexi Village, what effect will that illusory reputation of being a criminal have on him?

It has no effect at all.

"Don't worry, Aunt Hua, everything will be fine. And this incident just helped me recognize the person, didn't it?"

Wang Chunhua and the others thought about it, and it was true.

Those who listen to the wind is the rain are indeed unreliable.

But no matter what, they were not as optimistic as Ye Weixie, but since Ye Weixie said he didn't mind, they couldn't bring it up repeatedly, so they had to skip this topic.

Wang Chunhua remembered the busy farming, and said, "By the way, your rice harvest will start tomorrow. Do you want to go and see it then?"

"No." Ye Weixie took a sip of tea, and said very self-aware: "I don't understand the details, so I won't get involved. And Qinghe and I have to rush back to Jingcheng tomorrow afternoon, we don't have time."

"So anxious to leave tomorrow?" Wang Chunhua thought she could stay for a few days.

"There is nothing to do after everything is done." Ye Weixie said, "And there is not much time for summer vacation, so we have to hurry up, so the matter of the rice is still the same as I said before, Aunt Hua, you can do it as you see."

"Okay, then I'll look at the arrangements."

"Ah."

"Then build the house until the next time you come back?" Qi Dajun asked.

"You can consult first," Yu Qinghe said, "In this way, we will have time to think about it during this period, and we will start construction soon."

"Okay, then I'll ask Uncle Qi Wei to come over early tomorrow."

"It doesn't have to be too early," Ye Weixie thought for a moment, and said, "About ten o'clock, because I'm going up the mountain to see my parents in the morning."

Qi Dajun and Wang Chunhua looked at each other, "OK."

"Oh, there is one more thing," Ye Weixie said, remembering the business, "Can you help me with the public food?"

"Okay." Qi Dajun put down his teacup and said, "It's fine if you have a public ration book, and he won't check whether you are the real person."

"That's good." Ye Weixie nodded, "Uncle Qi, can you find someone to pay for me? I may not be able to make it back then, so I can pay the wages."

"What's so difficult about it?" Before Qi Dajun could speak, Wang Chunhua said first, "You give us the public ration book, and then the two families will pay it together."

"Okay."

After settling their business, Ye Weixie and Yu Qinghe didn't stay any longer, and quickly left Qi's house on the grounds that they were tired.

On the other side, Qi Wei, who learned the truth from Qi Huihui, was a little silly, "What's this called?"

"Let's be idle!" Qi Huihui sneered, "If you are useless, you will blame others."

Qi Wei was silent for a while, Wen: "What do you think if I put Ye Yongmin in a sack and beat him up?"

"Farewell." Qi Huihui said, "I'm afraid Dad will break your leg."

"What should I do?"

Qi Huihui spread her hands, "Cold salad."

Qi Wei: "..."

"Okay, don't talk about Weixie, talk about yourself." Qi Huihui leaned against the wall, folded her arms and said, "Now Weixiu doesn't care, and the second brother also said that he doesn't care about Fang Zi, so when will you, big brother? Go and bring my sister-in-law and Xiao Huang back? I miss Xiao Huang."

Qi Wei shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether Huizi and Weixie care about it or not, your sister-in-law did something wrong. So if she doesn't realize the mistake, then there is one thing and two, next time you and Qi Hui will make money again." What should she do if she takes the things back?"

Qi Huihui didn't expect this level, "Then what should I do?"

"Just wait." Qi Wei said.

"When will we wait? We can't let them live in their natal family forever, right?" Qi Huihui disagreed, "Forget it, sister-in-law, after all, it's her natal family. You have the heart to let Xiao Huang live there forever?"

"Isn't Xiao Huang also their nephew? Where can he go?" Qi Wei said.

Qi Huihui rolled her eyes when she heard the words, and said, "You've beaten my uncle into a pig's head, what's the matter, you still want people to treat your son sincerely? Is it possible?"

"Isn't the lotus here?" Qi Wei finally felt a little guilty.

"Sister-in-law can't watch it 24 hours a day, can she?" Qi Huihui said, "Be careful that Xiao Huang is being bullied and you don't even know it."

Qi Wei frowned, "Let me think about it again."

In his opinion, unless Nian Hehua took the initiative to apologize and realized her mistake, the matter would not end.

When the point was over, Qi Huihui didn't bother to say much, waved her hand and went back to the room, but after a while she poked her head out and said, "No matter what, you'd better take a look tomorrow."

Qi Wei didn't turn his head, "I know, I'm not stupid."

"You are not stupid, you are stupid!"

Qi Wei: "..."

"Come out, I promise not to kill you."

"Slightly!" Qi Huihui made a face for Qi Wei and closed the door.

Qi Wei shook his head and was about to fetch water for a bath when there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" It was late at night.

"Qi Wei, I'm your Uncle Li."

"Oh, Uncle Li, wait a minute." Qi Wei ran to open the door.

"Uncle Li, come in, my dad is watching TV in the house."

Uncle Li didn't move, smiled, and said: "Qi Wei, I won't go in, please tell your father for me, there will be something unexpected at our house tomorrow, and we originally agreed to cut rice for you. not going."

"You tell your dad to find someone again, that's it, I'll go first." After speaking, he turned around and left without stopping, and then his steps became faster and faster, and finally almost turned into a trot.

"Why does it feel like running for your life?" Qi Wei murmured suspiciously, "Could it be that something major happened at home?" It just didn't look like it.

He closed the door and quickly went back to the house to tell Qi Dajun the news.

But I didn't want to, after listening to it, even Wang Chunhua and Wang Chunhua all changed their faces, "I didn't expect that Li's family is also a fool on the fence." They said it well, but they changed their minds at the end, and they didn't need to think about it. .

Qi Wei frowned, "So Uncle Li didn't come to cut the rice because of the rumor of the unstoppable disaster star?"

"Otherwise?" Wang Chunhua said angrily, "Just follow the wind!"

Qi Wei stood up abruptly and rushed out, "The Li family is deceiving people too much, I'll ask them what they mean. After so many years, the neighbors even believe such nonsense."

"Stop!" Qi Dajun roared with a livid face.

Qi Wei turned his head to think about the theory, but saw his father's ashen face at a glance, and he didn't dare to move immediately.

But the expression on his face was still reluctant.

"Why, are you going to fight again?" Qi Dajun pointed at Qi Wei and said angrily.

"No, I'm just going to make a theory." Qi Wei said with a guilty conscience.

He did think about whether to take him away just now, but hasn't he acted yet?

"Sit down for me." Wang Chunhua pointed to the opposite stool, "Hiring people to work is what you want to do. If they don't want to do it, don't do it. How can you force him to do it?"

Qi Wei understands the truth, "But..."

"But what but?" Wang Chunhua said angrily, "Hurry up and find a way to find someone, otherwise what will we do tomorrow?"

Qi Wei: "If it's a big deal, I'll go. Isn't it just two acres of land? I will work for two more days, and I will definitely finish it."

"What about the family?" Wang Chunhua hated iron and steel, "Let your father do it by himself?" They have a large family, so they have about nine acres of land. How long will one person have to work?

Qi Wei: "..."

Qi Wei rubbed his nose and said with a guilty conscience: "Then our family invites someone? Dad and I, who have not left the house, will go get it."

"we can only do this."

What they didn't expect was that Qi Dajun asked several family members, but all of them refused.

The better ones would find an excuse for something to happen, and the worse ones would just say that they don't work for the disaster star.

It made Qi Dajun very angry.

"I don't believe it yet." Wang Chunhua was really angry, pointing at Qi Dajun and said, "Go, call my little brother and ask him to bring five people over tomorrow."

"Those people who don't want to do it, there are always those who are willing to do it."

"Okay." Qi Dajun raised his foot and walked out, "I happened to tell him about the unfinished house construction."

The author has something to say:
