Chapter 883

"Then... let's try to live a few more years..."

Facing Li Ang's Japanese-style question, after hesitating for a while, the administrator aunt still couldn't resist the temptation of witnessing the completion of the new poorhouse with her own eyes, and finally chose to agree to Li Ang's proposal.

However, even so, she couldn't help but instruct:

"But there is no need to be too deliberate. The old man and I have lived for so long, and we are already very satisfied. There is no need to make a big fuss for us."

"Hmm, definitely not."

Hearing the administrator aunt's words, Li Ang responded with a smile on the surface, but he had already made up his mind in his heart. When the new poorhouse starts construction, he must carefully ponder how to do it, and try his best to protect this old couple.

If the old couple really lived enough and wanted to rest forever, he really had no reason to stop them, but now they obviously still have concerns, just don't want their own existence to affect the completion of the new poorhouse, then he must "operate behind the scenes" well.

And just when the "inconsistent" Li Ang was pondering how to be a permission dog and try his best to retain Happiness Apartment quietly, three familiar footsteps came in from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Anna, whose face was faintly dark, appeared outside the apartment door, dragging the calm-faced William with her left hand and pulling the desperate-eyed Melanie with her right hand.

"Sister Anna, slow down, can you walk a little slower?"

Melanie, whose ear was red and had obviously been twisted hard, begged with a crying face:

"It's not five o'clock yet, we don't have to be in such a hurry to go home, right? And also, I just saw Grandpa John repairing the fence in the small garden, why don't you go and help him first?"

"Melanie, you should just accept your fate."

Before the dark-faced Anna could answer, William, whose ear was also red, said calmly:

"According to my understanding of Sister Anna, this beating today cannot be avoided. If she lets out her anger immediately, we might be able to suffer a little less, but if she holds it in for a while longer, then it's hard to say."

"……"

Good heavens... I finally took two days off, and as soon as I came back, it was so chaotic...

Looking at the younger brother and sister who were at daggers drawn outside the gate, Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice, and then under the administrator aunt's somewhat funny gaze, he took the initiative to greet them and asked helplessly:

"Anna... what trouble did they cause this time?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Li Ang's voice, Anna, who was struggling with her younger sister who was desperately kicking the steps and didn't want to go home, was suddenly surprised and looked up, saying with some surprise:

"Why are you..."

"Big Brother!!!"

Before Anna could finish her words, Melanie, who had just refused to go up the steps, suddenly shot up, swooshed into the lobby, hid behind Li Ang skillfully, and grabbed his trouser leg.

"Big Brother, your complexion is not very good!"

Seeing the savior of her little butt appear, Melanie, who had just been full of despair, suddenly smiled like a trumpet flower, and then while winking at Li Ang, said earnestly:

"Are you too tired from work? Shall I massage your shoulders? Or shall I tell you a story?"

"It depends on the situation..."

Facing the little sister's unusually well-behaved performance, Li Ang, who understood, reached out and touched her little head, giving her a helpless smile.

"Our family has to listen to your Sister Anna. Only after she finishes explaining what's going on can Big Brother know if I'm tired and need someone to massage my shoulders."

"How can it be so exaggerated..."

Hearing Li Ang's words, Anna's cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red, and she complained somewhat coquettishly, and then under Melanie's desperate eyes, she used the must-kill move on her sister—twisting her ear, pinching her little ear and twisting it hard for half a circle.

"I'll settle the account with you when we get home!"

After issuing a tactical threat to the little sister who failed to escape, and pulling her from behind Li Ang, Anna first greeted the administrator aunt, and then turned to look at Li Ang and asked curiously:

"Why are you back so early today?"

"Hmm... because there has been a lot of overtime recently, so the Bureau gave me a few days off."

Without mentioning the "business trip" to the Koroque Kingdom, after casually making up a reason to prevaricate, Li Ang picked up his younger brother who was still calm-faced, walked towards the stairwell, and asked curiously:

"Let's not talk about me first, what trouble did they cause again to make you so angry?"

"Big Brother, this belongs to prejudice."

Hearing Li Ang's inquiry, William straightened his little face and retorted seriously:

"Although Melanie and I are a bit naughty, we are not just causing trouble."

"Then you didn't cause trouble during this time?"

"Caused."

"……"

"Big Brother, don't misunderstand."

Looking at Li Ang's somewhat speechless expression, William immediately explained seriously:

"Although we did cause trouble, Anna's anger this time is not because we caused trouble, but simply because our academic performance is not good. This belongs to an intelligence problem and cannot blame us."

"You still have the nerve to say!"

Hearing William's explanation, Anna, who was following behind, suddenly turned dark again, couldn't help but pinch him lightly in annoyance, and then couldn't help but complain to Li Ang:

"Brother! You don't know how annoying these two are!

In this exam, the last question of the arithmetic subject was written like this—due to the long waiting time for public carriages, the Road Administration Department is preparing to increase the frequency of public carriages on Jianqiao Street, but because the funds are limited, only 2 new carriages can be allocated.

It is known that Jianqiao Street originally had 4 carriages, the daily operation time of the carriages is 18 hours, and each carriage can return to the starting point to carry passengers again 3 hours after departure. Ask how to arrange it to solve the waiting problem to the greatest extent."

How to arrange it to solve the waiting problem?

After listening to Anna's words, Li Ang tried to ponder this math problem.

The Road Administration Department has limited funds and can only allocate 2 new cars. Adding the original 4 cars, that is 6 cars. Each car makes a trip in 3 hours, and the total operation time of a day is 18 hours, so it is that each car can make 6 trips, which is equal to a total of 36 trips.

If calculated this way, 18 hours and 36 trips, that is one trip every half hour... No!

Thinking of this, Li Ang suddenly discovered that there was actually a very insidious trap hidden in this seemingly simple problem.

Although it seems that each car can make 6 trips in 18 hours, in fact, these 6 carriages do not depart at the beginning of the morning, but depart every period of time, so in fact, only one car can make 6 trips every day.

"Hmm... for children, this question is indeed very difficult."

After frowning slightly, Li Ang said somewhat puzzled:

"William and the others are transfer students and have learned much less than other children. It is normal that they can't answer it. Is it necessary to be so angry?"

"I'm not angry that he can't answer it, I'm angry that he answered it!"

Anna said very annoyed when she heard this:

"William's arrangement is to first make a speech on the street, criticize the Road Administration Department for eating funds, provoke the dissatisfaction of the residents of Jianqiao Street, put pressure on the management personnel, and then request to check the account books of the carriage company to check whether the accounts have exceeded the budget.

After finding the mistakes and omissions of the Road Administration Department and the carriage company, then find a way to find a councilor to report, and threaten him by affecting the regional voting, so that the councilor can give a proposal to increase funds.

After the proposal enters the agenda, raise funds to bribe the tabloids to create momentum, question whether the Road Administration Department, which even lacks carriage funds, is too corrupt, or even colluding with councilors to be corrupt, and use public opinion pressure to force councilors not to dare to vote against it, so that the proposal to increase carriages is passed, so that there will be no shortage of carriages!"
