"..."

No... what is this?

Although he was mentally prepared to a certain extent, after getting off the public carriage and walking home, Leon still couldn't help but feel a toothache when he looked at the promotional posters posted outside the newsstands on the roadside.

Since the "Palace Incident", Princess Veronica has been busy stabilizing the situation, trying hard to suppress the old nobles, and taking over the power from the old king as smoothly as possible. She is so busy that she slaps her feet on the back of the head every day, and she has no time to harass herself. .

But although her man didn't come, he kept "showing love" while working. Whenever he got the opportunity, he would talk about it, then hire someone to post the news, and start to show off his affection like crazy.

It was obvious that he had not seen her in person for more than a week, but he seemed to be in a passionate love affair, making most of the people in the capital think that he was about to marry her...

Just outrageous.

After clicking his tongue in extreme silence, Leon turned the corner and walked towards Xingfu Apartment. The strong old man, whom he had not seen for a long time, also came out of the small garden next to the building in time, carrying a pair of gardening shears of astonishing length.

"Good evening."

After politely saying hello to the strong old man, Leon walked into the lobby on the first floor of the apartment despite the strong old man's eager gaze.

After two months of repeated confrontations, and the experience of being tied up with wool and hung up all night if he attacked Leon, the strong old man's brain was not very good, and he finally managed to remember the new rules of Happy Apartment——

Bad guys can't enter, but a certain "evil devil" is the only exception and can come and go normally.

Although he was worried about the safety of the residents, he would still drag his lame leg and happen to pass behind Leon from time to time, or he would squat outside the window of Leon's bedroom in the middle of the night with a pair of sharply polished scissors, but he did not directly It's been done.

"Um?"

After seeing Leon entering the building through the large window of the administrator's room, the administrator's mother who was knitting raised her head and asked with some surprise:

"Why is it so early today? Don't you usually come back at night?"

"Haha, today is a special situation...this is a gift for you."

After opening the small window of the administrator's room and handing over the hardcover woolen yarn he bought on the way, Leon explained with a smile:

“I’ve been doing pretty well at work recently, and I’ll be on a business trip in a few days, which may last for a while, so the bureau gave me a few days off, letting me rest early and spend two extra days with my family. Oh my god...by the way, where are Anna and the others?"

"They'll be back soon."

The administrator's aunt took the yarn in surprise and said:

"It's time for school to end now. Anna should have picked up the two children and is on her way back... Ouch, this yarn is not cheap! I can't accept it!"

"Actually, it's not that expensive. It's just a small gift. You'd better accept it."

After pushing back the wool handed over by the administrator, Leon thanked him seriously:

"I am quite busy at work and am away from home all day long. Anna can only take care of William and Melanie by herself. You and Uncle John have helped her a lot. I will keep these good things in my heart.

Compared to how you and Uncle John take care of our family, this is just a small gift. I didn’t even buy it on purpose. I just happened to see it on the way back and thought you might like it, so I bought it... …and, by the way, Uncle John’s. "

As Leon spoke, he reached out and touched the mirror cufflinks. He took out two large whetstones and a bag of selected flower seeds from the mirror world. After pushing the things back together with the wool bag, he Face insisted sincerely:

"Aunt Mary, just accept it. The salary from the Cleanup Bureau is pretty good. These things are really nothing to me."

"This...that's okay."

Seeing Leon's repeated insistence, the administrator's aunt did not continue to refuse. Instead, she accepted the woolen bag first and planned to give two pairs of gloves and hats to the two children of the Lane family, and then return the favor.

After accepting the gift, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and then asked with some worry:

"By the way, people from the municipal government have been here in the past two days and said that they plan to renovate the Happy Apartment and then expand the scope. Do you know about this?"

Renovating a happy apartment?

After hearing the administrator's aunt's inquiry, Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Indeed... although it is carefully taken care of by the administrator aunt and the strong old man, the predecessor of Xingfu Apartment was a workhouse more than 90 years ago after all, so it is already a century-old building.

According to the Kingdom's "Building Renovation Law", all mid- and high-rise buildings facing the streets of the Royal Capital must be overhauled every ten years, and repainted and large-scale renovations must be carried out every fifty years. Now it seems that the time has come for Happy Apartment. Renovation period.

However, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. It is an unbreakable truth wherever it is placed.

Although the laws of the kingdom are very strict, whether it is overhaul or renovation, only someone with money can do it.

Given the tight financial situation of the kingdom in recent years, where even the pensions of military families can be deducted, the municipal department is naturally unwilling to do such a thankless task. Only the buildings in the rich and noble areas can be properly maintained.

After all, the collapse and injury to people are the responsibility of the construction party. The municipal department can only do poor maintenance at best. Considering that the funds are indeed limited, it is the best that they can take some losses.

However, if the law is strictly enforced and the inspection and renovation of the whole street are carried out frequently, the person in charge will not be promoted. If he renovates and paints once, he will probably have to continue to scrub the toilet in the toilet of the municipal bureau for the rest of his life.

So let alone painting and renovation, even the inspection that is only once every ten years has not been done by the people in the municipal bureau. Basically, they just come to take a casual look, fill in two repair items and report them, and take some maintenance funds.

Although the municipal authorities did nothing, the residents did not dare to let it go. After all, safety is their own business. Therefore, in recent years, the renovation of Xingfu Apartment has always been handled by the administrator, who has spent money to manage it. She and Old Man Zhuang have worked for almost a hundred years and have not saved any money.

But even so, with their meager salaries, even with the money raised by the residents, they can only carry out some basic maintenance. Therefore, many parts of Xingfu Apartment are already very dilapidated and are basically just barely maintained. Even the handrails in the corridor are missing several sections.

If it weren't for the fact that the old man had developed amazing repair skills after nearly a hundred years of maintenance, it would be hard to say whether this Happy Apartment Building could continue to survive...

...

"This is a good thing!"

After recalling the situation of Happy Apartment, Leon congratulated with surprise:

"The apartment really needs to be repaired. If the municipal department is willing to undertake the renovation work, then you and Uncle John will be much easier."

"This is indeed..."

The administrator nodded when she heard it, but couldn't help but whispered with some worry:

"But John and I are actually part of this apartment. If Happy Apartment is renovated and expanded...can we still exist?"
