Chapter 117 Ship



Speaking of rebuilding the house, Zhao Jianguo has been busy these past two days buying materials, looking for craftsmen, and contacting people for help. He is so busy that he is hardly seen every day.

"Mom, we've been so busy lately. The store is being looked after by my grandparents. Why don't we hire someone?" Because it was Sunday, Zhao Hanyun helped Yan Jinlan pack up her things at home and sent them to the store. The large furniture was placed in a temporary shed nearby. Fortunately, there were not many furniture at home.

"It's not that easy to recruit people. Let your grandfather and others take a look at it for a while. If it doesn't work, just stop for a few days." Yan Jinlan also knew that her family was very busy and she was also very anxious.

"I'll look for it tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I'll ask my fourth uncle." Isn't Lu Laosi known for being well-informed? Hiring someone to look after the store should be a piece of cake.

"Okay, let's take a look first." Yan Jinlan checked the time and put away the things in her hands: "Hurry up, your father said he would bring back the sand and gravel, it should be here soon."

"I'll go and take a look." Zhao Hanyun ran to the road behind and looked, but didn't see any cars.

"Where are you looking?" Yan Jinlan came out of her house and saw Zhao Hanyun on the road behind her. She smiled and said, "You forgot, there is a river here."

Yes, Zhao Hanyun recalled that in his previous life, he also used water transport to transport materials. Tractors couldn't carry much, so cargo ships were still the most basic means of transportation. Lijia Village was surrounded by water, and there was a large artificial canal running in front of the village, which could definitely accommodate a cargo ship.

"Hey, Mom, I forgot!" Zhao Hanyun turned to the front and walked with Yan Jinlan on his arm with a playful smile.

"Thump, thump, thump..." Just as the mother and daughter were saying this with a smile, the sound of the mechanical ship's engine came from not far away.

"Here I am, hurry up, Mom!" Zhao Hanyun ran forward hurriedly, not forgetting to remind Yan Jinlan to catch up.

When they arrived at the river, Zhao Jianguo was discussing with the boatman where it would be best to dock. There were also a dozen people who looked like porters standing by the boat, chatting.

"Dad!" Zhao Hanyun waved his hands by the river. Seeing Zhao Jianguo looking back, he waved even more vigorously.

"Hey, girl, you're here! Where's your mother?" Zhao Jianguo looked beside Zhao Hanyun and asked when he didn't see Yan Jinlan.

"It's behind!" Zhao Hanyun pointed to the back and said with a smile: "I ran here first."

"Brother Zhao, is this your girl? She's so pretty!" The leader of the porters looked over and joked with Zhao Jianguo, "Your mission now is to save up a dowry for your girl. She's so pretty, who knows how many men will come to her house in the future!"

"Hahaha! Thank you for your kind words, brother!" Zhao Jianguo was so proud to hear others praising his daughter's beauty, and his face was full of smiles. As for the question of his daughter's future marriage, he was sorry that he didn't hear it.

"Girl, come on, call for help!" Zhao Jianguo took the opportunity of the boat approaching the shore and jumped onto the shore. Seeing the porters starting to prepare for work, he hurriedly called out, "Everyone, come home with me first to have some tea and rest."

"That's right, uncles, please take a rest first and come back later."

"Okay, let's go over there!" The father and daughter sang in unison, making it difficult for others to refuse.

"Mom, you are so slow!" Zhao Hanyun and his group met Yan Jinlan.

"I'm back. Let's go back and have some tea and take a rest." Yan Jinlan said to Zhao Jianguo. On the way here, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't poured the tea yet, so she went back to pour the tea and let it cool down first.

"That's troublesome!" said several porters. They felt a little embarrassed to rest at someone else's house before starting any work.
