As he spoke, Zhao Ergou waved to them with a simple, honest smile on his face.

The red bumps on my face have almost completely healed, and I look very energetic.

The next day, some people continued digging the foundation, while Zhang Lei chose Luo Guangming and a few others to go with him to buy materials.
