Xia Youyou sat down at the desk and threw a few sheets of paper in front of her. She had a vague plan in her mind.
advertise.
Pengcheng.
But they all had to go to school, so what would the situation be like there, and how would they get there? These were all still under discussion. Right now, she just had to lay out the plan in a rational way, and she could discuss the rest with them that evening.
She locked herself upstairs for the entire morning. When Qi Siling appeared at the door at noon, covered in dust, she was still hunched over the desk, writing quickly.
"Youyou, stop writing and go downstairs to have lunch." He was covered in dust and didn't dare to go into the house.
Xia Youyou turned around and saw that his face and body were extremely dirty. She stood up and took out a handkerchief to help wipe the dust from his nose and mouth. "I'll ask Brother Xiao Hai to buy some masks later. It's not good to breathe dust into your lungs." She looked at him with a bit of heartache.
Qi Siling's hands were also dirty. He wanted to hold her hand, but was afraid of getting it dirty. When he came back, the workers had occupied the water well, so he had to ask her to go downstairs first. He just smiled and said, "It's okay, it's only today. After digging the foundation, we won't be needed tomorrow. Besides, school will start soon, so we won't be needed here either." He bent down and supported his knees with his hands so that she didn't have to raise her hands. "Come down, have you had breakfast? Are you hungry?"
Xia Youyou put down her hand feeling a little guilty, as if she had forgotten about it.
Seeing her like this, how could he not know that she hadn't even remembered to eat breakfast! Helplessly, he urged her downstairs, "Let's go, don't do this next time!"
"Um!"
Xia Youyou scooped water from the well to wash him, "Don't get it on your clothes, or you'll catch a cold."
Qi Siling wiped the water off his face and said, "It's okay, go in."
As the two entered the restaurant, everyone looked at Xia Youyou excitedly, perhaps because they had heard some news. She smiled back, sat down and started eating.
When the four of them sat down in the evening, Xia Youyou took out the plan and showed it to them.
"Brother Xiao Hai, Uncle Wang Qiang should have told you that he wants to join our An Hai, right?"
"Yes, I told them when I just sent them back." He flipped through the paper in his hand, looking at it carefully, hoping to learn something from it. "Just tell me what you think, I'm listening."
The three of them raised their eyebrows in surprise when they saw him being serious. It was rare to see him being serious. Was he interested in the construction team?
"Actually, my previous plan was to form a construction team later, but it's not impossible to join. The country has just opened up, and there are still few places that need construction. The 1980s was the era of infrastructure construction. I'm not saying that there are no places now, just fewer. However, there are few houses to build, and there are also few construction workers. Especially for a construction team like ours that has a legitimate company, this is a big advantage. The difficulty lies in where to find those places that need construction teams. That's why my brother needs to find Brother Huang Run and ask him to help us find out if there are any areas that need rezoning by the government."
Cao An nodded. This wasn't difficult. "I'll go see Huang Run tomorrow. I also learned about some areas that need construction when I went to the Urban Construction Bureau the other day. We can all go there and give it a try." He pointed to 'Pengcheng' on the plan. "So, what's the name of this Pengcheng?"
"This will involve two years from now. I will find a way to complete my studies ahead of time and take Uncle Wang to Pengcheng to look for development opportunities."
"No!" Qi Siling grabbed her hand and was the first to object.
"I don't agree with you going!" He was worried even if he took Uncle Wang with him. Not to mention the past, judging by the future development trend, Pengcheng is also in chaos. "I don't agree with you going alone. I will go with you."
"But what about your studies?" She was strong in this area after all, but he knew nothing about it.
"Give me your old textbooks. I'll learn about the later things. After school starts, maybe I can finish them ahead of time."
Cao An nodded and said, "Yes, you should also find some books on this subject so that we can study it in advance."
Xia Youyou wanted to say something but was stopped by Xiao Hai again.
"Sister Youyou, don't worry about us. Just take it out. Whether we can learn it depends on luck."
After a moment's deliberation, he replied, "Alright, I'm just worried you might overdo it. Besides, everything is just the initial stage now. If you were to judge the present through the lens of the future, that might not be a good thing."
After searching through the space for a long time, he pulled out three stacks of books and placed them in front of the three of them. "Just write them down, from top to bottom, one book at a time. Don't skip around. If you don't understand something, ask me."
"Let's get back to the topic. Put these books aside for now and read them later. First, let's talk about this construction team."
"What else is there to say? Just do as you say!" Cao An couldn't wait to pick up the book and start reading.
Xiao Hai nodded vigorously while holding the book, "Yeah, you two go upstairs and go to bed. Brother Cao and I are going to study hard tonight!"
"You haven't finished learning English yet!" Xia You really couldn't bear to pour cold water on you. "Haste makes waste. You need to proceed step by step. Don't try to be too ambitious!"
Cao An waved his hand, "Go away, go away, you two can go upstairs and have fun, don't bother us here! We will find time to learn English!" He flipped through the introduction to mechanics in his hand and dove straight in.
Qi Siling put the books on the table into the space and pulled her along. "Let's go!"
Xia Youyou had no choice but to get up, still worried, "Don't stay up late! Especially Brother Xiao Hai, you still have to drive tomorrow! Brother! You have to watch over me!" She couldn't help but take out a book she had just casually flipped through and smashed it on Cao An's head.
Seeing him raise his hand to catch it, he said, "I asked you to keep an eye on Brother Xiao Hai!"
"I know, I know! You're even more nagging than mom!"
"you!"
Seeing that the two siblings were about to quarrel again, Qi Siling quickly bent down and carried Xia Youyou on her shoulders, "Be good, be good, let's not bother with him, let mom deal with him tomorrow!"
"Yes! You dare to say that your mother is nagging! Just wait!" Xia Youyou flapped her feet and waved her hands towards Cao An.
Without even looking up, Cao An waved his hand dismissively, "Close the door!"
Xia Youyou was thrown onto the mattress and pinned down. "What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be studying?"
"I'll serve you first, then I'll go study!" He dropped the ground with familiarity, and a light curtain rose up to block out all the sounds inside.
The room suddenly became silent, and the only sound that could be heard was the wind outside the window, blowing through the branches and then hitting the window.
An elliptical curtain of light covered the entire mattress, and the atmosphere inside was filled with lingering emotions. It was like a pantomime, and no matter how frantic the situation was inside, not a single sound could be heard from outside.
Qi Siling patted the petite Xia Youyou to sleep, then sat up contentedly. He put on his clothes, packed up his space, and left the room. Afraid of the glare of the light in the room, he moved his desk to another vacant room. It looked like he'd have to tidy up this place tomorrow and use it as a study!
