– Hey. (chuckles) I heard that you bought a house… That’s great, you’re so good,” my cousin was sobbing.
– Yes, we did. Only we need to make repairs. It’s a complete shambles from the previous owners. There’s a lot of work to be done, and there’s a lot of money to be invested.
-So you go there, quickly make repairs and we’ll gather at your place for kebabs. After all, it’s so great – your garden, grass, swings, beds with vegetables, your fruits….. Just a fairy tale. I can’t wait to visit you.
– What is the long wait? – I asked. Come at least this weekend. We will take out the trash, tear down the old wallpaper, and there is work to be done on the plot, we need to trim the trees. So you can help us out. We really need help right now… And after work we can have a barbecue…
After my fiery speech my sister somehow calmed down.
And then she said:
– Oh no, you know, this weekend we have already agreed to meet with my brother.
– So do not worry, come next weekend. There is enough work for a couple of years to come. It’ll be nice to work together, and then barbecue, and sit around. It’ll be nice…
– And yes, if you go don’t forget to buy meat, because we have no money now, it all went to buy a house.
– And then in the spring. you will help to dig the garden, plant beds, we will take care of them together, but then we will eat our own vegetables right out of the bed. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
After my fiery speech my sister somehow became depressed. She hurried to say goodbye, said she had things to do and turned off the phone.
I hope that she understood something, and if there is not a lot of work on the site, we will always call for help. After all, we need to spread manure, dig the garden, mow the grass, and much, much more…
