"..." After hearing the concern of the administrator, Leon suddenly realized that the situation in Xingfu Apartment was not that simple. The old administrator and his wife were so "human" that he always treated them as two particularly kind-hearted neighbors, somewhat ignoring their "inhuman" nature. The birth of Happy Apartment, in addition to the unusual seeds provided by Director Aquarius, was also due to the gratitude and memory of those who were helped by the old couple in the workhouse more than 90 years ago, and the hope that they would have from the bottom of their hearts. There is still hope. Therefore, as an anomaly, although the two of them are administrators and even receive salaries from the municipal government, they are actually "vassals" of this building. They are not real people and cannot exist independently of the apartment. And the abnormal object itself is not indestructible. For example, my own witch's broom has become completely unresponsive after being broken. If the Municipal Department only maintains it, it probably will not affect the existence of the old couple, but if it is really renovated or even expanded on a large scale, the situation will be serious. I really can’t say for sure. "I can't tell you this..." After understanding the key to the matter, Leon's expression became serious. After thinking for a while, he suggested: "Otherwise, I can make a report from the Cleanup Bureau to stop this renovation in the name of protecting the existence of anomalies, and then ask for a large sum of money and let you decide what to do, so you don't have to worry about it. there is a problem."
"Well……" However, what Leon didn't expect was that after hearing his proposal, the administrator's aunt hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and refused: "It's better not to do this. Just let this apartment be renovated normally. Rather than stopping the renovation and expansion, the old man and I would rather you say hello and don't let them kick out the tenants or raise the rent after the expansion. ” "This will definitely not happen." Although he didn't like to use the privileges brought by his noble status, Leon naturally had no reason to refuse such a reasonable request, so he nodded and agreed directly. But then, he reminded with some hesitation: "But is it really okay? I'm not sure whether this kind of expansion is considered maintenance or damage to [Happiness Apartment] itself. If the result is more likely to be damage, then you and Uncle John may really disappear!" "It doesn't matter." After hearing that Leon agreed to his promise, the administrator smiled reassuringly, and then explained: "This place really needs to be repaired. The handrails on the stairs are missing a long section. When your two little guys are running around in the building, I am always worried, worried that they will make a fuss and walk down the stairs." Up and down. Moreover, Hannah and other residents in the building have been planning to have children in the past two years. We can't continue to let those children live in such an unsafe place, right? " "Aunt Mary, these two things are not in conflict." Upon hearing this, Lyon insisted: "According to my understanding of the anomalies, if we don't let the municipal government take the lead, but let you carry out renovations, we should be able to ensure that the impact is minimized. In this way, even if major repairs are carried out, it will most likely not affect your continued existence." "J." After pondering for a while, the administrator aunt shook her head and refused kindly: "The most we can do is repair it, and we don't have the ability to expand this building. But people from the municipal government said that they have negotiated with several surrounding buildings, and even took over the abandoned factory behind it and are preparing to build it. Happy Apartment has been expanded eight to nine times. In addition to continuing to provide low-cost rentals, they seem to be preparing to reopen the old workhouse, take in children who have lost their parents in the old city, provide some basic education, and teach some skills that can make a living. According to them, this seems to be the princess's new decree. Because children represent the future of a country, when conditions permit, the fiscal budget will give priority to education and childcare, and a large amount of special allocation will be allocated every year. "
When speaking of this, the administrator's aunt seemed to have thought about it completely. She smiled sheepishly at first, and then said happily in Leon's silence: “I have never cared much about these decrees, so I couldn’t understand what they said, but I thought that since I can take care of more homeless children, it is always a good thing, so I should Just do it whatever you want!" "But if it does expand, the chances of you disappearing with the Happy Apartments will be very high." After thinking for a while, Leon continued to insist: "In this way, I can go and say hello and ask them to skip the scope of Happy Apartment when they expand and only move other areas. In this way, both sides can stay." "Forget it." Looking at Leon who wanted to keep the happy apartment, the administrator aunt thought about it for a while, lowered her head and knitted the knitting in her hand, then refused with a kind smile: "The Happy Apartment is right across the street. If our house is skipped, the almshouses and apartments in the future will either have to take a detour or open a new branch road from the back, which is really troublesome. Moreover, the old man and I have lived long enough. If we include both life and death, I am already over 150 years old. Even the three people who pay us wages from the Municipal Department have died of old age. There is no need to continue. Keep going! " "But……" "Thank you, good boy, I know you don't want us to disappear, but we have really thought about it." Looking at Leon who seemed to want to say something else, the administrator explained softly: "In the beginning, we wanted to survive because we hoped to take care of the children who were kicked out. After they all... left, we felt that life was not easy for the good people in the capital, so we thought we could help if we could. . It's just that the two of us were not great people when we were alive, and we have no great abilities after death. We really can't do much. We can only help someone when we see someone in trouble. Now there is rare good news. As long as the new workhouse is built, the building we left and the small piece of land behind it will be able to help more people. We are already satisfied and have no regrets. . " "All right……" He didn't expect that after the princess came to power, she would actually affect the existence of Happy Apartment. Looking at the administrator's aunt with a touch of relief on her kind face after she said the words, Leon could only nod his head and did not continue to persuade. He chose Respect their personal will. However, respect is respect, but some things still have to be tried. After looking at the look of expectation on the administrator's face, knowing that she was also looking forward to what the new workhouse would look like after it was completed, Leon tentatively suggested: "In this way, I won't stop them from expanding the Happy Apartment, but I can try to disturb the original building as little as possible without affecting the layout, and see if I can preserve your will. In addition, I know a little bit about the secret technique used by Director Aquarius to create you. When the Municipal Department starts construction, I can try to use the secret technique to combine you two with the new workhouse... Do you think this is okay? " Combine us with the new workhouse? After hearing Leon's words, the administrator's aunt was slightly moved, but still hesitantly said: "But if this happens, will it affect..." "Will not." Leon shook his head and said: "Just think of the two of you as finding a part-time job. In addition to managing the Happy Apartment, you can also serve as the administrator and gardener of the new workhouse!" When he said this, Leon paused slightly, and then said to the hesitant administrator:
"Aunt Mary, you don't want to disappear before the new workhouse opens, do you?"
