Chapter 128: Strong Connections
Yang Fan picked up the bowl and started to eat. She paused for a moment, looked up at the three people who were still standing, and asked, "Do you want to eat together?"
“No, no,” Wang Anfu waved his hand, “We’ve already eaten, you eat.”
"Then what are you doing here? Sit down," Yang Fan said, "You are blocking my sunlight by standing here."
The three of them stood quite neatly, neither too many nor too few, just enough to block out the light.
"..."
Yan Qing cleared his cough, pulled the stool in front of him and sat down, and the other two people also quickly found stools and sat down.
The three of them had just sat down when Grandma Xu and her friends who had gone to the back to feed the pigs came back.
Yang Fan was rather careless in raising pigs and feeding chickens; he would simply throw grass from the backyard to them. Grandma Xu had come to help feed the pigs a few times and was familiar with her procedures.
Seeing them coming back, Tang Yuanyuan and Wang Anfu immediately stood up and gave their seats to the two old men.
Yang Fan had only made five stools before. After giving the stools to Grandma Xu and Grandma Wu, there were no extra stools left.
The two of them, as well as Fu Cancan and Han Musen, a few young people sat down on the edge of the stairs.
Little boy Yangyang is held by Grandma Xu.
So many people were watching Yang Fan eating alone, but she didn't feel anything and ate very comfortably.
Wang Anfu looked around calmly, wondering if he should find something to talk about. Just as he was thinking about it, Grandma Xu had already opened up.
"Yang Fan, your chickens and ducks have grown a lot. I think they will be ready to eat soon," Grandma Xu held the child in her arms and watched Yang Fan eat with big mouthfuls of food, her eyes full of heartache.
"Eat slowly, no one is competing with you for food."
Yang Fan waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm a little hungry."
She naturally took over the conversation, "The day after tomorrow I will go to the street to buy some chicks and ducklings and raise more."
The day after tomorrow is market day in town. She will take some fruits to the street to sell and buy some chicks and ducklings. Now that Xiao Lin is here, she can raise more chickens and ducks.
In this way, I can eat chicken and duck meat every day in the future. It’s wonderful just to think about it.
Grandma Xu: "By the way, last time you said you wanted to buy potato seeds, I asked for you. Tang Xiaoqiang's family in Tangjiagou has potato seeds. If you want to buy some, you can go to his house and buy them. They are 50 cents a pound."
"So cheap," Yang Fan looked at Grandma Xu in surprise.
“Vegetables grown by country folk are cheap.”
Don’t be fooled by the extremely high prices of vegetables sold in the city’s supermarkets and vegetable markets. However, those who grow vegetables in the countryside can sell them cheaply. Not only are they cheap, but sometimes they cannot be sold and have to be used to feed pigs.
If the whole family stayed at home and relied on that piece of land for food, they would not have anything to eat.
Therefore, anyone in the village who can go out to work will not choose to farm at home to support the family.
"Okay, I'll find time to go to his house and buy some seeds," Yang Fan said, "Uncle Zhao just gave me that piece of land, so I'll clean it up and plant it when the time comes."
At this point, Fu Cancan spoke up, "Yang Fan, when are you free to talk to me about house design?"
Although she was asked to design a house, she still didn't know how to build Yang Fan's house specifically and had no idea.
"After I finish my meal, we'll go over to the house and take a look," said Yang Fan.
Fu Cancan nodded and said, "Okay, when the design drawings come out, my dad can help find a construction team."
Fu Yonghui used to work on a construction site and could help find workers to do the work.
"We'll talk about it later. Let's make the design first."
These are all small things. It's just building a house. When the time comes, she can buy the materials and ask the ghosts in the underworld to do the work. There are so many ghosts in the underworld, they can definitely form a construction team if they get together.
"Master, do you want to decorate your house?" Han Musen found a topic to continue the conversation. "My friend runs a decoration company and can help you decorate your house for free." It is necessary to make friends with capable masters.
Yang Fan: "It's not about decorating the house, it's about building the house first."
"Building a house is also fine. My friend also has a construction company and can help you build it." Han Musen was even more enthusiastic. "Whatever style you like, I'll build it for you and I'll pay for it."
Wang Anfu raised his hand and said, "Master, we also know many construction teams and can recommend them to you."
"The chairman of Xuri Construction Company is my client, I can ask him for help." Yan Qing said slowly.
Tang Yuanyuan: “Yeah, that’s right!”
Grandma Wu then said, "Zhenghao also knows someone in the construction company, so you can ask him to find someone when the time comes."
Fu Cancan smacked his lips in amazement, wow, this guy has some really strong connections.
Grandma Xu laughed out loud, "That's good now. They can all help you find someone to build a house. Yang Fan, you don't have to worry about this."
She didn't even have the time to say that she would ask Wang Dequan and Li Wenlin for help when building the house.
Facing their enthusiasm, Yang Fan said calmly, "No hurry, let's wait until Sister Cancan finishes the design."
"I set..." Fu Cancan's words were interrupted by Han Musen as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Master, my friend can design and build a new house in one go. They are all top designers. They can design whatever style you like."
My goodness, he is trying to steal her job, and she is relying on the work to pay off her debts!
And after finishing this job, she planned to find a job with Yang Fan later.
When she heard Xiao Lin talk about her salary and benefits, she was quite tempted.
It’s close to home and the salary is high, she has to hold on to this thigh tightly!
Fu Cancan suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and she hurriedly said, "Don't bother, I'll do it, I'm very fast at drawing."
I remember she was the design champion back then.
Han Musen: "No need to bother, my friend..."
"Your friend, your friend, if you are so capable, why don't you do it yourself!" Fu Cancan couldn't help but retorted.
If he is so capable, he should do it himself. He lets his friends do everything and just opens his mouth. I don’t know what happened to his friends to have to meet such a scumbag.
She rolled her eyes at Han Musen in annoyance.
Han Musen didn't expect that she would suddenly confront him. He didn't react for a while and just stared at Fu Cancan blankly.
“Hahahaha…” Grandma Xu was amused by their conversation and teased, “Young man, when Yang Fan starts building the house, you can come and help move the bricks.”
Grandma Wu smiled and said, "I think he can do it. He looks like he can work."
Tang Yuanyuan and Wang Anfu covered their mouths and laughed.
Yan Qing didn't laugh. Instead, his attention was on the last chicken leg in the bowl and the chubby little hand approaching that chicken leg.
"Let's wait for Sister Cancan to design the house first. There's no rush to build it." Yang Fan said the same thing.
She was now listening to their conversation in a relaxed manner, and didn't notice at all that a malicious little hand was approaching the chicken leg in the bowl.
The little hand attacked quickly and snatched the chicken leg away when Yang Fan stretched out his chopsticks.
Yang Fan stuck his chopsticks straight into the bowl and found nothing.
She leaned forward and blinked blankly. Where was her drumstick? Where was it?
