Chapter 414 Arrival
An Songyu couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth slightly.
After all, in her memory, that was something that happened more than twenty years ago.
How could she possibly remember that clearly?
But when An Songxiang brought it up, she felt incredibly embarrassed and flustered.
I never imagined that she was so crazy about love when she was young!
To stop An Songxiang from continuing, An Songyu coughed lightly and quickly said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about my business anymore."
"Given your mother's personality, she might be stricter with you lately."
"But if you honestly tell her what you did, she won't actually forbid you from going on a date."
"That's right... You must abide by one rule: absolutely nothing bad can happen to you."
"Of course I know that!" An Songxiang's face instantly flushed red.
My sister is really something, she's just repeating all the things Mom taught her back then!
Looking at An Songxiang's expression, An Songyu couldn't help but open her mouth.
She really wanted to say that what she said just now didn't mean that.
Actually... given their current financial situation, even if her sister really got pregnant out of wedlock, as long as they ensured the other party wouldn't fight them for the child, it might actually be a good thing!
Of course, this statement is a bit of an exaggeration in today's context.
Moreover, such matters are primarily determined by the thoughts of the individuals involved.
An Songyu did not want to specifically instill these ideas in An Songxiang.
So she simply let An Songxiang misunderstand her meaning.
Just as An Songyu and her sister had predicted, in the days that followed, Bi Lizhu reversed her recent leniency towards the two of them and started to spend time 'talking' with them almost every day.
This not only made An Songxiang exceptionally obedient, but also left An Songyu quite helpless.
She now realized that her mother hadn't been unaware of what she had hidden.
Instead, we planned to teach her a lesson day by day.
In addition, An Songyu was also extremely busy with the matter of Ah Ling's homestead.
There are many people like her who are busy.
To prevent Ah Ling's elders from arriving at any time, An Songyu even spent most of his time here.
However, the atmosphere at the scene was not affected much.
However, because we need to pay extra attention to various conditions on site, the construction speed has inevitably been slowed down a little.
However, the progress is in line with the requirements.
On this very day, An Songyu, Jian Ziyu, and the other two happened to be all present.
Today, they need to discuss when to start building the roof.
The construction of the roof of an antique-style building involves a beam-raising ceremony, which requires not only on-site preparation but also a specific time.
This point, however, completely touched upon a blind spot for An Songyu and the other two young people.
An Jianguo and his group, however, seemed to know quite a bit about it.
However, they did not speak casually during the meeting.
After the meeting ended, An Jianguo sighed and said, "There used to be a similar process when building houses in the village."
"However, now most houses in the village are built with cement slabs, so no one pays special attention to it anymore."
According to modern architecture, the top floor slab should correspond to the roof beam, which is the roof.
However, while it is convenient to use prefabricated cement boards for flooring, the gaps are large. Even if cement mortar is used to fill the gaps and a leveling layer is applied, waterproofing will still be a major problem.
Therefore, most of the top-floor apartments with staircases will have tiled roofs.
Meanwhile, corrugated steel roofing or asbestos roofing canopies will be erected in other areas of the roof.
Used to prevent roof leaks.
An Songyu and the other two were unaware of the situation and only after asking them for a long time did they finally understand.
"When houses were being built in the village before, who would be contacted to determine these dates?" An Songyu asked with great curiosity.
An Jianguo glanced at An Songyu before saying, "Many of the elderly people in the village can find out by looking up the almanac."
"If you want to be even more particular, find a nearby shop that specializes in this."
"However, the people we can find for Ah Ling's house are clearly not very suitable."
After all, there are indeed real geomancers in rural areas.
But if we're talking about truly capable people... there are some, but they're not necessarily famous.
Just then, the consulting firm that Ah Ling had invited gave them some suggestions, so they adopted them directly.
An Songyu could understand this.
But just as he nodded, he received a call from Ah Ling.
An Songyu quickly answered the phone, and when she heard what was said, she was completely stunned.
Without even bothering to be polite to Ah Ling, who was clearly anxious on the phone, An Songyu hung up and said, "Ah Ling's grandfather and the others are already nearby."
"Let's get out of here quickly!"
"Just Grandpa Ling and the others?" the others asked as they went out.
An Songyu shook her head: "Grandpa A-Ling only notified her when she was almost there."
"So, Ah Ling isn't entirely clear on the specifics either."
"But she answered the phone and is on her way."
But... she might be the only one who can make it here.
Because of this matter, An Songyu and A Ling don't talk on the phone every day anymore.
But they did talk on the phone quite frequently.
So she roughly knew that Ah Ling's older brother had been sent abroad again in the last few days.
No wonder Ah Ling is so anxious about this.
In the past six months, as far as An Songyu knows, Ah Ling's older brother has spent less than half of his time in China each month.
And this half of the time wasn't entirely spent in Shuncheng.
According to Ah Ling, ... she's seen her brother so often that she's almost forgotten what he looks like.
Putting aside their chaotic thoughts, An Songyu and the others had just stepped out of the gate of the house site when they saw a group of very conspicuous people slowly approaching from the alley.
It wasn't because of their imposing presence or the number of people traveling.
It's rare to see several elderly people, all in excellent spirits and living conditions, appear together.
In addition, Ah Ling would occasionally mention their family situation, so even though An Songyu had never met them before, she recognized them almost immediately.
So she quickly joined the others and went to greet them.
The group of people who arrived also clearly saw them.
Once they got closer, they could clearly see each other's personnel.
Not all of the people who came were elderly.
There were also middle-aged people who were clearly very close to them.
I wonder which of Ah Ling's uncles or aunts this might be.
There is no need for the two sides to introduce themselves in detail.
After confirming each other's identities, Ah Ling's elders, who looked quite old but were exceptionally decisive, immediately requested to go to the homestead.
An Songyu and his group naturally did not refuse.
After having them put on safety helmets at the entrance, the group slowly entered the homestead.
"It looks like... such a big change!" someone exclaimed.
The others nodded in agreement.
Actually, they already had this feeling when they came over from outside.
After all, in the middle of an old alley, it would be surprising to suddenly see a large area enclosed by a wall taller than a person.
Once inside, it becomes clear that the wall is simply a layer of white cement plaster, which encloses the entire plot of land.
