Chapter 186 Refusal to Work
After Fu Yancheng helped Chuxue install the glass, the new house was considered finished except for the front door.
Next, we leveled the yard, and then had someone make the kang (a bed for heating) and had the furniture delivered. After a few days of ventilation, we could move in.
Fu Yancheng came out and saw Chuxue talking to Uncle Liangzi, so he walked over.
Then Chu Xue said, "Uncle Liangzi, the slope protection ahead will be completed in two days, right?"
Uncle Liangzi rolled a cigarette and lit it: "Well, almost."
Chu Xue continued, "I discussed it with my father and decided to build a stone ridge behind the private plot. Not only will it look neater, but it will also save a lot of trouble."
Liangzi admired the girl more and more: "You'd better tell the village cadres about this matter in advance. After all, the ridge is more than three meters away from your private plot."
She naturally understood what Uncle Liangzi meant: "Okay, I'll go back and talk to someone about this. But even if we add my family's private plot, it's not enough for one household's homestead. No one will be greedy for such a small advantage. After all, who wouldn't want to live in a more spacious house when they build one?"
Uncle Liangzi saw Fu Yancheng coming over and said, "You guys talk, I have something else to do first."
Fu Yancheng took out a half-pack of Daqianmen from his pocket and threw it to Uncle Liangzi: "Uncle, you have taken a lot of trouble with Chuxue's family. Take this cigarette."
Liangzi was not greedy. He only took one cigarette and handed it back to Fu Yancheng: "I just need one."
There was no way Fu Yancheng would take it back: "Uncle, just take it and smoke it. I'm afraid Chuxue will have to trouble you again later."
Liangzi understood now: "I have a good relationship with Chuxue's father, so it's no problem. Besides, Chuxue is an open girl, and we all got paid."
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Uncle Liangzi quickly made an excuse to go about his business, leaving them the space.
Fu Yancheng saw that there was no one here, and whispered: "Chuxue, I have something to tell you."
Chu Xue turned to look at him: "What's the matter?"
Fu Yancheng glanced at the courtyard and said, "The city's machinery factory will be recruiting in a few days. Those administrative positions require taking exams, but the workshops below do not. I have a childhood friend who can talk to me. Do you have any ideas?"
Chu Xue thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Forget it. First, I haven't graduated from high school yet. Second, even if you're my childhood friend, you still have to do me a favor. Let's wait until I get my diploma."
The most important thing is that the two of them have just confirmed their relationship, so I'm using his connections to find a job. If it doesn't work out, it will be too troublesome in the future.
Seeing that she hesitated for only a moment and then refused, Fu Yancheng guessed something and thought: It seems that the girl still hasn't opened up to me. It doesn't matter. He will work hard to make her believe in herself and rely on herself.
Chuxue thought that since the work was almost done, she might as well give everyone a reward meal and encourage them to be more attentive in the last few days: "Yancheng, I want to go fishing at the Beijiao Reservoir. Do you want to come with me?"
She originally wanted to borrow the secretary's bicycle, but unexpectedly Fu Yancheng said, "Okay, I'll drive you there, it will be faster this way."
Chu Xue didn't act pretentiously: "Okay, then I'll go back and tell my mother."
After all, meals for so many people had to be prepared in advance. After saying goodbye to Liu's father and brother-in-law Qiu Shaofeng, he hurried back to the old house.
Chuxue had mentioned to Liu's mother before that they would have a rewarding meal before finishing the work, so she had been preparing it: "Okay, I got it. I'll let the dough rise first, and then I'll ask your Aunt Cuihong to come over and help."
Chu Xue took out some baits that she had prepared in advance from the space and got into Fu Yancheng's car.
Anyway, their relationship is now clear, and once they bring the fish back, the villagers probably won't be able to talk about anything else.
