Chapter 143: Uncle Is a Smart Man

Liu Chuxue went to check the sand on the truck; there was far more than she had borrowed from Uncle Liangzi: "This is way too much, isn't it?"

Fu Yan Cheng glanced at the slopes in front of and behind the house: "We still need to reinforce the slopes; this will come in handy then."

Liu Chuxue hadn't expected him to have thought of even that, but she still asked: "How did you know?"

The corner of his mouth curled into a smile: "On the way to the brick factory that day, I asked your Uncle Liangzi's younger son a question."

Since he was putting in so much effort, she couldn't not acknowledge the favor: "You've really gone to trouble for me. Thank you."

"It's not a big deal. My life was saved by you; isn't it only right that I help you with some of this?"

Why did that sound so awkward?

Before she could figure it out, someone approached: "Young man, how did you get here?"

Fu Yan Cheng smiled and handed the newcomer a cigarette: "Uncle, I came to deliver the river sand and also help train that little puppy."

The man looked at Fu Yan Cheng, then at Liu Chuxue; not knowing what he was thinking, he suddenly laughed: "I understand, I understand."

Fu Yan Cheng replied: "Uncle is a smart man."

Liu Chuxue had just greeted the person beside her; when she turned around, she saw Fu Yan Cheng and that man huddled together, talking about something.

But as soon as they saw her looking over, both of them smiled and stopped talking.

The man asked with a smile: "Where should we unload this sand? I'll call someone over."

Uncle Liangzi also walked over at that moment: "What sand?"

Liu Chuxue quickly explained: "Uncle, Comrade Fu has delivered some sand. Can that big truck get into the place where you stored sand before?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Liangzi understood her meaning, glanced at Fu Yan Cheng, and then said: "The space is still a bit narrow, but dumping it in should be possible; it just depends on his driving skills."

Fu Yan Cheng smiled: "Uncle just needs to find someone to lead the way."

This "Uncle" made Uncle Liangzi scan him up and down for quite a while: "Alright, I'll have my younger son Cunyi guide you."

Having finished speaking, he turned and waved to his younger son who was working: "Cunyi, come here."

Liu Cunyi was working with his hands, but his face kept looking over this way; he simply loved that big truck too much: "Dad, what did you call me for?"

He said that, but his eyes kept staring at the truck; Uncle Liangzi directly slapped his younger son on the head: "What are you looking at?"

"At that big car."

Having said that, Liu Cunyi finally came to his senses, his face full of embarrassment: "Dad, what did you say?"

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

Liu Cunyi wore an expression of pure envy: "If only I could drive that big thing; sitting inside is truly thrilling."

Uncle Liangzi rolled his eyes at his son: "What daydreams are you having?"

Liu Cunyi smiled and rubbed his own head: "I was just saying that."

Seeing his son like this, Uncle Liangzi couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, you take Comrade Fu and unload the sand at the place where we stored sand before. Remember, don't unload too much; just unload exactly as much as was taken away before. Got it?"

Liu Cunyi nodded; he was simply too happy. Now he could sit in the driver's cabin again.

Liu Chuxue didn't go along; yesterday she had heard from an auntie in the village that her sister-in-law on her mother's side had strawberry seedlings, so she had asked that auntie to inquire if she could spare a few.

Just now, the little daughter of that auntie had come to deliver the message, telling her to go pick up the seedlings when she had time.

Since she wasn't going along, Fu Yan Cheng felt a bit disappointed, but this fellow immediately thought of a solution: "Alright, you go get busy first. By the way, where should I unload the remaining sand later?"
