Chapter 143 Uncle is a smart man
Chu Xue went to check the sand in the car and found it was much more than what she had borrowed from Uncle Liangzi: "Isn't this too much?"

Fu Yancheng glanced at the slopes in front of and behind the house: "We still need to reinforce the slopes, and they will come in handy when the time comes."

Chu Xue was surprised that he had even thought of that, but she still asked, "How did you know?"

A smile played on his lips: "On the way to the brick factory that day, I asked your Uncle Liangzi's youngest son about it."

Since they went to such lengths, I couldn't refuse: "Thank you so much for your trouble."

"It's nothing serious. You saved my life, so it's only right that I share some of your burden."

Why does this sound so awkward?
Before she could figure it out, someone approached her and asked, "Young man, what brings you here?"

Fu Yancheng smiled and handed the man a cigarette. "Uncle, I'm here to deliver river sand and also to help train that puppy."

The man looked at Fu Yancheng, then at Chu Xue, and suddenly laughed, as if he had thought of something: "I understand, I understand."

Fu Yancheng replied, "Uncle is a smart man."

Chu Xue had just greeted the person next to her when she turned around and saw Fu Yancheng and that man huddled together talking about something.

Seeing that she was looking over, the two smiled and stopped talking.

The man smiled and asked, "Where should I unload this sand? I'll call someone over."

Uncle Liangzi came over at this moment: "What sand?"

Chu Xue quickly explained, "Uncle, Comrade Fu sent some sand over. Is the place where you stored the sand before big enough for that truck to fit?"

Liangzi understood what she meant as soon as he heard this. He glanced at Fu Yancheng and then said, "The space is still a bit narrow, but it should be possible to back in. It just depends on his driving skills."

Fu Yancheng smiled and said, "Uncle will just find someone to guide us."

This "Uncle" made Liangzi look him up and down for a while: "Alright, I'll have my youngest son, Cunyi, take you." After saying that, he turned around and beckoned to his youngest son, who was working: "Cunyi, come here."

Liu Cunyi was working with his hands, but his face kept looking this way. He really liked this big cart. "Dad, what did you call me for?"

That's what he said, but his eyes were still fixed on the car. Uncle Liangzi slapped his youngest son on the head: "What are you looking at?"

"Look at those big cars!"

After saying that, Liu Cunyi realized what he had said and looked embarrassed: "Dad, what did you say?"

Uncle Liangzi was so angry he laughed: "You like cars that much?"

Liu Cunyi looked on with envy: "I wish I could drive one of these big guys. It would be really cool to sit inside."

Uncle Liangzi rolled his eyes at his son: "What are you daydreaming about?"

Liu Cunyi chuckled and scratched his head: "I was just saying that."

Uncle Liangzi laughed when he saw his son like this: "Alright, you take Comrade Fu to unload the sand to the place where we stored sand before. Remember, don't unload too much. Just unload as much as we took away before, understand?"

Liu Cunyi nodded. He was overjoyed; now he could sit in the driver's seat again.

Chu Xue didn't go with them. Yesterday, she heard from an aunt in the village that her sister-in-law had some strawberry seedlings, so she asked her to inquire if she could borrow a few.

Just now, that aunt's youngest daughter came to tell her to come and pick up the seedlings when she has time.

Fu Yancheng was a little disappointed that she didn't follow, but he immediately came up with a solution: "Okay, you go ahead and get busy. By the way, where should I unload the rest of the sand later?"
