Chapter 129: Why do I find that man a bit familiar?

The next day, the Chuxue family got up early.

Even Liu Fu was tidied up neatly by Liu Mu, and Chuxue, the strongwoman, helped him onto the borrowed flatbed cart.

The family headed toward the building site.

The liquor was ordinary sorghum spirit, the kind Qiu Shaofeng had bought before, which Liu Fu hadn't been willing to open until now. It finally came in handy.

After arriving, under Uncle Liangzi’s direction, they quickly found the right spot.

Liu Fu personally poured three cups of liquor as an offering, then was pushed by Chuxue to the middle of the foundation to light the firecrackers. After the deafening sound of the firecrackers faded, Liu Fu was pushed back to the northwest corner, where he symbolically dug a shovel of earth, and everyone officially started work.

What Chuxue didn't expect was that just as they started, a Jiefang truck entered the village.

The truck drove straight to the Liu family’s gate, attracting the villagers to gather around: "Who are you looking for?"

Fu Yancheng got out of the truck: "We are here to deliver cement to Liu Chuxue."

"She’s not at home; she’s at the building site right now."

"Could you please show us the way?"

"Sure, follow me."

Just as they were about to leave, someone shouted loudly: "They’re back, the Chuxue family is back."

Fu Yancheng looked up and saw Chuxue pushing the flatbed cart toward them. He walked up to meet her in a few strides: "Comrade Liu."

"Oh, when did you arrive?"

She had seen the Jiefang truck in front, but hadn't associated it with Fu Yancheng: "You didn't drive that truck here, did you?"

"Yes, I thought I shouldn't delay things, so I borrowed the truck to help you deliver the cement directly."

After saying this, he greeted Liu Fu and Liu Mu: "Hello, Uncle, Auntie."

Today, Fu Yancheng wasn't wearing his military uniform, and because so many people had come that day, Liu Fu and Liu Mu didn't remember him: "Xue, who is this?"

"Mom, this is Fu Yancheng, the one who saved me before."

"So it’s you! Thank you so much."

Fu Yancheng was about to say something when Chuxue interrupted: "There are so many people watching, let’s talk about those things later."

She noticed everyone was listening with their ears pricked up. Some things were better kept to themselves; there was no need to make it known to everyone: "Why don't we unload the cement here? We can pull over what we need. There’s no covered place over there, and it would be bad if it rained and got wet."

Fu Yancheng hadn't expected Chuxue to understand these things, and his admiration grew even more.

Liu Fu hadn't expected someone to come specifically to deliver cement, and hearing his daughter’s words, he agreed: "Then let’s unload it in the west side room first, and we can pull it over as we need it."

"Alright, I’ll help you get Uncle into the house first, then I’ll back the truck over."

Uncle Liangzi heard the commotion and brought a few people over: "Chuxue, I heard the cement has arrived?"

"Yes."

"Uncle Liangzi, where is the sand you mentioned?"

"I’ve already arranged for people to go pull it. It’s enough for your house construction. You can just return the sand to me when the river floods again in the summer."

"It’s a good thing you had some, otherwise we would have been in trouble today."

"I told your father about it earlier."

Liu Fu smiled and added: "I actually forgot to tell you about that, and the slaked lime, your Uncle Liangzi buried it last year, which is just perfect for us. When my leg is better, I’ll pull the lime back and fill his pit for him."

With Fu Yancheng’s help, the cement was quickly unloaded. The people watching outside were truly envious: "Who is that man?"

"Not sure, didn't dare to go up and ask."

"The Shanliang family is really something, they even have friends who drive big trucks."

"Why do I find that man a bit familiar?"
