Chapter 325 Moving
"Lulu?"
A deep, magnetic voice sounded in my ear.
Bai Lu was fiddling with her abacus, doing accounting and bookkeeping, while simultaneously chatting on the phone with her boss with a slight smile on her face.
"Are you trying to ask me if I've eaten? Xiao Wei and I have already eaten. We ate in the city with Luo Shiliu and the brothers. Have you eaten?"
Xiao Cheng put down his chopsticks on the other end of the phone, ending his tasteless dinner.
"have eaten."
The fan blew sharply against Bai Lu's profile, and a stray lock of hair was tucked behind her ear.
While counting the money, he broadcasted good news: "The new product sales are going very well. We've sold half of the air conditioners, refrigerators, and freezers, and quite a few televisions and other appliances as well."
How long until the second batch of goods arrives?
Xiao Cheng said, "Tomorrow."
"Zhang San and Ah Dai will unload the goods and watch the shop. You can rest at home."
What a straightforward way to express a transition!
Bai Lu stopped fiddling with the abacus, and her voice also stopped, only a soft laugh came through the phone: "They've been busy all day, I've been at the cashier collecting money the whole time, I haven't gone out at all, I'm not tired at all."
As she spoke, she casually tossed the banknotes around, her voice beautiful and melodious: "It's just that there's a lot of money, the accounts are a bit astonishing. As I was calculating, I suddenly realized how rich you are..."
"Rich people are clinging to powerful figures!"
The wealthy man was very generous: "Tell me again when you get home."
Bai Lu has dug herself into a hole; the voice in her ear is unfathomable, indescribably alluring yet dangerous.
No, no, I'll just hug myself: "By the way, didn't you say last time that the water and land routes for exporting fruit were almost open? Are they all settled now? Are you sure we're going to use the land or water routes?"
He said, "Everyone, go."
Bai Lu was taken aback. She took a bite of the chilled watermelon that Xiao Wei had brought her. It was icy cold and sweet. Suddenly, she realized: "Fruit distribution, both by land and water?"
"right."
He explained, "Let's test the efficiency first."
After testing and eliminating the inferior, Bai Lu understood: "This is the safest and most suitable way."
If you put all your bets on one path, there's no turning back if you lose.
With Jiang Zhengang on the waterways, there shouldn't be much of a problem. But there are checkpoints on the land routes, and we'll inevitably have to pay "road maintenance fees."
They were acquired through legitimate transportation channels, and their resources were still limited. Taking a hard line would only lead them into a dangerous situation.
The best strategy is to seek victory through stability.
"Actually, it's good to build the big house later." Bai Lu said tactfully, "It's hot and tiring to move now. Moving later in the autumn when the weather is nice and cool is a good time to move. We can also have more time to find better building materials."
That's a good suggestion.
The boss immediately rejected the idea: "The materials have already been purchased, and Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang will come to help with the move tomorrow."
Bai Lu: "..."
The tycoon's wealth is indeed immeasurable!
Their execution capabilities are beyond question.
The next morning, there was a knock on the gate; the moving team had arrived.
"Sister-in-law, we've come to help move things."
When Xiao Dazhuang referred to "us," he meant someone who was radiant, energetic, and clearly well-prepared.
And then there was Luo Shiliu, who was leaning against the wall with no regard for his image or his spine, yawning with panda eyes.
"Sister-in-law, good morning, Xiaowei~" The voice was as lazy as a big cat that hadn't woken up yet.
Seeing Bai Lu's languid expression, as if she hadn't woken up properly, Big Cat decisively pointed out the culprit: "Xiao Dazhuang is full of energy. He's dreaming about moving house for my older brother and sister-in-law. He came knocking on my door before he was fully awake. To be honest, I really wanted to hit him with a slipper, although my grandfather stopped me in the end."
Xiao Dazhuang said with a serious, honest expression, "If you're going to work, you have to get up early. You can't sleep in. Finishing the work as soon as possible is the most important thing. We can't let down our elder brother's trust."
"Besides, after moving, you still need to drive an excavator to level the old house, so you have to get up early to make enough time. I'm doing this all for everyone's sake."
Yes, yes, yes~
"You're right, you're absolutely right!" The lazy cat was too lazy to argue with an honest person.
Looking up, she asked the girl standing at the door, "Sister-in-law, do you think it's time to move?"
Bai Lu stroked Xiao Wei's messy hair: "Xiao Wei and I were just about to have breakfast. If you haven't eaten yet, have some breakfast before you move."
Xiao Dazhuang shook his head decisively: "We've already eaten!"
“I also bought glutinous rice chicken for Luo Shiliu, and he finished eating it on the way here.”
Lazy Cat did eat chicken on the way, but because he didn't open his eyes, he didn't know what it was.
All I knew was that it was food: "Yes, I ate it."
Eat and then get to work.
Luo Shiliu was alert as soon as he started working. He told Bai Lu and Xiao Wei to go eat breakfast, while he and Xiao Dazhuang could carry the loads.
Bai Lu and Xiao Wei quickly ate breakfast, cleaned up the dishes, and joined the moving team.
The items will be temporarily moved to the empty house across the street.
We'll move back after the new house is built.
People naturally moved to the house across the street to stay temporarily. The house had already been cleaned and was bright and clean.
Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang moved the large items, while Bai Lu and Xiao Wei moved the small items.
The smaller ones were moved very quickly.
The larger ones are still being moved.
The only major appliances in the house were the television; the air conditioner and refrigerator hadn't been installed yet. Bai Lu said she wanted them installed in the new house, so Xiao Cheng let her have her way and specially ordered a small refrigerator from the manufacturer.
Last night, Xiao Wei used a small refrigerator to freeze a large watermelon. It was small, effective, and easy to carry.
Bai Lu can move there by herself.
Large items like beds need to be disassembled, and Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang have to move them over and then reassemble them, which adds a lot of steps.
It was almost noon.
Bai Lu slung her shopping basket over her shoulder and headed out to the market to buy groceries and prepare lunch.
After everything was moved, Xiao Dazhuang and Xiao Wei assembled the bed in the room, while Luo Shiliu went back to operate the excavator.
Just like when Xiao Cheng demolished Liu Guanggun's old house, with a loud "bang," the house collapsed into ruins.
Neighbors passing by gathered around to watch the spectacle.
Xiao Wei also ran out.
A pair of small hands, like megaphones, shouted at the boy sitting in the excavator's driver's seat: "Sixteenth Brother, don't push the bricks and tiles to the backyard to fill the river. There are still fish and snails in the river."
"The roses on the other side of the river are absolutely off-limits. My brother specially fenced them off for my sister-in-law to admire. She loves roses! We'll keep the roses in the new house too!"
“The vegetable garden can’t be filled with bricks and tiles. My sister-in-law likes to grow vegetables, so my brother wants to leave it for her to grow vegetables…”
The excavator's claws, which were reaching towards the rose bushes, came to a halt. Luo Shiliu turned around and gave the little guy an OK sign.
The giant iron claw moved away instantly.
Now everyone knows that Xiao Cheng's vegetable garden and rose bushes were reserved for Bai Lu.
They would make a point of leaving space when building a new house.
Because Bailu likes it.
The neighbors were thrilled with the gossip, and the girls were incredibly excited and envious.
"Cheng-ge is so good to Bai Lu!"
"I specially left the roses that Bailu likes!"
"Actually, we could have just leveled it and replanted it, but so that Bailu could see roses every day, Cheng-ge wouldn't let Luo Shiliu touch a single one..."
The figure in the white dress behind the crowd was completely stiff, her fingernails digging into her palms, drawing blood, but she didn't react.
"Hey! Bailu, weren't you at the market? How did you get home so quickly?!"
