Chapter 133: A Thank-You Visit
When Liu's mother saw them unloading the cement, she quickly fetched some water and went to the yard: "Thank you for all your hard work. Wash your hands quickly and come over to have a drink of water."
Liangzi took everyone to wash their hands, drink some water and then rushed to the new house. Today they had to dig the foundation and watch the stonemasons chisel out all the stones for the foundation. There were a lot of things to do.
Fu Yancheng drank the water but did not leave. He stood up and went to the cab to carry out two net bags of things and said, "Uncle, aunt, thanks to Chuxue's help last time, I should have come to thank you a long time ago. At first, I was not well, and then I had a mission to complete. I came only now. I hope you don't mind."
As he spoke, he also looked at Chu Xue who had just come out of the west wing.
Chu Xue naturally heard what he said: "What are you doing? According to what you said, do I have to give you a thank-you gift? Didn't I say before that we are even since we saved each other?"
Fu Yancheng laughed when he heard her say that: "Our situations are different. You can save yourself without me, but I am different. Without your help, I might lose my life."
In fact, what he said was true. Without Fu Yancheng, the most she would have to do was spend more time. But no matter what, she had received such a great honor just by reporting the news, and indirectly solved her family's difficulties.
She was about to say something when Fu Yancheng interrupted her and said, "I've brought all the things here. It's not good to take them back. Besides, we have a lot to do today. Let's not waste time on this."
Chu Xue was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter?"
Fu Yancheng handed the net bag to Liu's mother: "Auntie, there are a lot of supplements in it, just right for uncle, please keep it."
Mother Liu was a little at a loss and turned to look at her daughter.
Chuxue was not the type to be fussy: "Since he has brought it, just accept it."
Seeing Chu Xue relieved, Fu Yancheng was delighted: "By the way, I borrowed a truck from someone today, so I can help you bring back the bricks for building the house."
When Chu Xue heard what he said, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fu Yancheng saw that she was silent: "What's wrong, didn't you contact me?"
Chu Xue waved her hands quickly: "I asked the village cadres for help before. Since the village is not too far from the brick factory, I was thinking of going there when I need it, so I don't have to watch the factory at night."
It was not wrong to think so. Her father's leg was not healed yet. It would not be good for a few women to go over and watch the place at night. Otherwise, they might lose everything in one night.
Fu Yancheng really didn't expect this: "How long will it take to finish building this house after construction starts?"
Father Liu then took over the conversation: "With four workers, the wall can be built in five or six days. It will take more than ten days to complete the whole work, and it will be ready in half a month at most."
Fu Yancheng looked at Chuxue and said, "I will help you pull all the bricks and tiles back today, which will save you a lot of work. I will also lend you two dogs. You can just let the dogs watch over the place when the time comes. You don't need to go there manually."
Before Chuxue could say anything, Liu's mother refused, "Don't dare. The dog won't be familiar with us by then. If it bites someone again, it will be bad."
But Chu Xue did not refuse in a hurry. She thought that what Fu Yancheng said was right. Although it was not too far away, it would be a waste of time to ask people to go there to fetch bricks every day. It would be better to bring them back all at once. If it really didn't work, she could find a villager to help look after the site so that the house could be built as soon as possible.
