Chapter 728: Has the foundation been laid?

"That's great! When you come back to Qingbei, our place will be lively." Gu Dachuan was very happy.

He still prefers to be neighbors with his sister, so he lives with her.

This way, he can spend more time seeing Xiao Jiaoyang and Xiao Xingchen.

After the family had finished their meal, Gu Xiaoxi said to her sister-in-law, "Do you want me to take your pulse?"

"Well. Then I'll trouble Xiaoxi." Li Qiaoyi was very happy and immediately stretched out his hand.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly took her sister-in-law's pulse, then smiled and said, "The baby is two months old and very healthy. You should eat more fruits and pay more attention to nutrition."

As she spoke, she looked up at her eldest brother and handed him a set of car keys.

"Brother, I have gifts and fruits for you and my sister-in-law in the car. I didn't take them down because I was holding the child. Please take everything out of the trunk by yourself."

"Okay." Gu Dachuan immediately took the car keys and went to get something.

"Xiaoxi, you and the children will live in the next house today. When you and Lu Jiansen are transferred back, we will vacate this house for you." Li Qiaoyi said.

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and shook his head, "No need, you guys can live here! If I am transferred back to Qingbei, I may not live in the military family compound anymore."

Li Qiao was stunned for a moment, "Don't you live in the family compound anymore?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes. I will be in charge of the Qingbei department store. When the time comes, I will build a house nearby. For the convenience of management, I will live there directly."

Li Qiao suddenly realized, "That's good. I heard that you are the person in charge of the department store. The people in our newspaper office also told me in advance that they would interview you when the time comes. I'll make an appointment for you first."

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, "Okay, no problem. When it's done, you can go over and take a look. I've already talked to the construction team today, and work has already started."

Li Qiao was startled again when she heard this, "Are they going to start work so soon? I thought they would pick a good day to start work."

Building a house is a big deal, and most people would choose an auspicious day.

Gu Xiaoxi explained with a smile, "It took too much time to fence off the land, build the wall, go through the procedures, and approve various documents, so I immediately asked the engineering team to be stationed there after I got here. They will work day and night, in two shifts, to try to build this department store as quickly as possible."

"How long will it take to complete?" Li Qiaoyi asked curiously.

If it was built, she would have news to write.

Moreover, she can even apply for a residence and no longer have to go to work in the city.

This way she can spend more time in the family home to take care of her baby.

"About three months!" Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile.

In fact, it took less than three months, but she built more than just a department store, she also built other things.

After three months, she was almost able to come over from Xining.

So, her plan is to complete the entire construction in three months.

"Then when can I go and take a look? The wall that the master built there is very high, and people from outside can't see anything if they want to take a look." Li Qiaoyi wanted to go and take a look in person because she wanted to write a news article.

Gu Xiaoxi thought for a moment before saying, "Tomorrow! I'm going there tomorrow morning, and you can come with me then."

"Okay then." Li Qiao nodded immediately.

In order to prepare for tomorrow's photo shoot, she immediately went back to her room and got out her equipment.

In addition to writing news, she also wanted to make a before and after comparison of the department store's architecture, so she had to take photos as a souvenir.

Gu Xiaoxi felt that his sister-in-law was capable and had a keen sense of news.

If she wants to take pictures, let her take pictures.

Anyway, every day there will be the same.

After her eldest brother brought back the bags of things she had left in the car, Gu Xiaoxi picked out some food and fruits and went to Sister Guifen's house.

At this time, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang was the only one at home.

When he saw Gu Xiaoxi coming with something, he was stunned for a while.

"Doctor Gu... Doctor Gu, have you and Lu Tuan returned?"

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and said, "I came back for something. I wanted to come and see Sister Guifen, but my eldest sister-in-law said that Sister Guifen is still in her hometown and hasn't come back yet, right?"

Wang Sheng sighed and nodded, "Yes! My mother was paralyzed in bed before, and she took care of her for a while, but she didn't make it and passed away two months ago. Now my father is not in good health, so she has been staying in her hometown with the children."

Gu Xiaoxi was silent for a moment before asking, "What's your father's condition? If he can move, bring him to the family home and I'll take a look at him."

Wang Sheng said with red eyes: "He is paralyzed. His mouth and eyes are crooked. I am afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer."

"Not necessarily. Your father's condition may be a stroke, and acupuncture can solve the problem. If you have time, you can bring him over. If you can't, give me your hometown address, and I will visit him when I leave Qingbei and return to Xining."

She was willing to torture herself because Sister Guifen was a very kind and enthusiastic person, and had always been very good to her.

Wang Sheng looked at her with gratitude and said, "Then I will call back tomorrow morning and ask if it is possible to let my wife bring my dad over."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Okay. I'll probably stay in Qingbei for five days. I'll leave you the phone number of Xining Military Academy. If you need anything, you can call me."

"Okay, okay." Wang Sheng quickly brought paper and pen.

Gu Xiaoxi wrote down a phone number and went back.

That night, she stayed in the family compound.

…

The next day.

After breakfast, Gu Xiaoxi took her children and sister-in-law to the construction site of the department store.

Yes, this place has become a construction site. At first glance, it is full of various building materials and a mess.

There are many people working here, and they all wear the same work clothes.

Well, this work uniform is also a very Blue Star-style blue work uniform.

Li Qiao was surprised when she saw this scene, "Xiaoxi, have they already laid the foundation?"

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at the busy workers, smiled and nodded, "Yeah. They worked all day yesterday."

"How many workers are there in total?" Li Qiao asked while recording.

At this time, Luo Ji stepped forward and said, "We have four groups of workers in total, so there are workers working 24 hours a day. The number of workers increases and decreases depending on the work of the day, and there are sometimes 200 workers a day."

Li Qiao raised her eyes and glanced at Luo Ji. "Are you the person in charge of the engineering team that Xiaoxi mentioned?"

Luo Ji nodded, "Yes. My name is Luo Ji. If you want to take pictures, please go to the side and don't disturb our work. Also, please pay attention to safety. Are you pregnant? It's actually not safe for pregnant women to come to the construction site."

Li Qiao nodded with a blush, "Okay, okay."

She thought it was Xiaoxi who told Luo Ji that she was pregnant, so she didn't think much about it.

Gu Xiaoxi was somewhat surprised at Luo Ji's thoughtfulness.
