Chapter 757: Carefully Designed Blueprints

Just as Wang An was pushing a deep trench along the marked lines, Wang Dazhu waved his hand to stop him.

Wang An parked the crawler tractor steadily and shouted to Wang Dazhu outside: "What's wrong, Dad? Did I push it crooked?"

Wang An's voice was quite loud, but in the deafening roar of the crawler tractor, Wang Dazhu couldn't hear a word Wang An shouted.

Therefore, Wang Dazhu gestured directly for Wang An to come down.

Wang An didn't think much of it and jumped off the vehicle.

When he reached Wang Dazhu, Wang Dazhu shouted:

"Take out the blueprint you drew. They want to study it and see if anything is inappropriate."

Wang An nodded, took out the blueprint, handed it to Wang Dazhu, and turned to climb back onto the vehicle.

The group of craftsmen took the blueprint from Wang Dazhu, walked to a slightly further place—mainly where they could hear each other speak—and sat on the ground to study it together.

Wang An's earliest idea was to build a ground fire dragon on the floor of the room, and to dig a cellar in the space for the grain and sundries room in the back.

The purpose of these cellars was to store the family's antiques, calligraphy, and paintings.

But this idea was later rejected by Wang An.

Mainly because a cellar is extremely damp and prone to mold. It's fine for storing cabbage, potatoes, and radishes, but if you put anything else that fears water and dampness, everything will quickly become waste.

So the only things that could be put into the cellar were gold and those porcelain items.

But doing it this way, digging a cellar in the room was purely redundant, because Wang An's family's gold wasn't kept in the room at all! Of course, there was definitely gold in the room, but only a very, very small amount.

As for where most of the gold was buried, perhaps no one could imagine, because all that gold was buried by Comrade Wang Dazhu next to the manure pit.

One has to admit that Wang Dazhu's brain is definitely different from a normal person's. In general, digging a cellar in the room was purely redundant.

Wang An didn't pay attention to the craftsmen studying his carefully designed blueprint, but continued to push dirt over and over again.

The reason it's called pushing dirt over and over again is because using a bulldozer to dig a foundation is actually shoveling dirt down layer by layer, not like an excavator that digs dirt out one scoop at a time.

Fortunately, Wang An's new construction site was on a raised hillside. Wang An only needed to drive the crawler tractor from the east end to the west end, and then from the west end to the east end, keeping the vehicle in a straight line.

Just as the three groups were busy working, 4 large trucks parked at Wang An's gate.

Wang An, who was driving the crawler tractor, happened to see this scene through the glass of the cockpit.

Parking, turning off the engine, and opening the door, Wang An jumped out of the cockpit.

Once the crawler tractor's engine was off, the roar of the large trucks could be heard, and as everyone looked toward the sound, they naturally saw these 4 vehicles.

Wang Dazhu asked subconsciously: "Xiao An, is this your friend who arranged to deliver the goods for us?"

When Wang An returned home the day before yesterday, he had mentioned to his family about Wu Dong and the others helping to deliver building materials, so the family knew about this.

Wang An nodded with a chuckle:

"Mm, they really sent a lot. We definitely won't be able to use all of this for these two houses."

Having received a definite answer, Wang Dazhu said with a shocked face: "This is... two trucks of sand, one truck of cement, and half a truck of steel bars. Oh my god, why did they send so much? How much does all this stuff cost in total?"

Wang An said casually and boastfully:

"No need to pay. They all gave it to me. Hehehehe."

After Wang An finished speaking, he took the lead and walked toward the vehicles.

The craftsmen behind him, however, once again began to discuss among themselves. "Xiao An's friend is really awesome. Sending so much stuff just like that. This stuff must have cost a fortune, right?"

"That's for sure. A small amount of money definitely wouldn't cover it. Xiao An's friend is really generous!"

"Sending 4 large trucks just like that. What does Xiao An's friend do?"

"I figure he must be a very big official. Our county government doesn't even have this many large trucks."

Soon, Wang An and the others walked from the construction site to their own gate. Seeing the people getting off the trucks, Wang An instantly felt very happy.

Because what Wang An didn't expect was that Wu Dong and Wang Shuai had come in person.

One must know that because of those few little Japanese devils, these two had been very busy during this period.

When they were still a few meters away, Wang An laughed and said:

"Hahahaha... my two dear brothers from different fathers and mothers, did you both miss me?"

At this moment, Wu Dong and Wang Shuai, perhaps because they had just come from their unit or were currently on duty, were wearing green uniforms and hadn't changed into casual clothes.

So, based on their attire, anyone could tell at a glance that they were from a military unit.

This led the people helping Wang An's family to show surprised looks upon hearing Wang An's casual but affectionate words.

Immediately after, whispering sounds began to rise from the crowd.

It's just that the distance between everyone wasn't far, and besides, Northeasterners are famous for their loud voices, which led to these sounds being heard by everyone clearly.

"No wonder the Old Wang family rose up so quickly. They met a noble person!"

"Yeah, otherwise I've never seen anyone's family get rich so fast."

"Look at these two; they must be big officials."

"I'm not blind; it's like anyone couldn't tell."

Wang An naturally heard the crowd's discussion. Of course, Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and those drivers all heard it too.

It's just that this kind of thing is truly very common. Besides, in this world, people who can truly "not talk about others behind their backs" are rare existences.

Seeing Wang An come over, Wu Dong and Wang Shuai also seemed very happy, and hearing Wang An's words, the two of them burst into laughter.

Only hearing Wang Shuai laugh and say:

"Hahahaha... I must have missed my dear brother. I missed you so much, hahaha."

Wu Dong also immediately laughed: "Yeah, missed you so much. It's like a day apart is like three autumns, hahaha."

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Wu Dong asked: "Where should we unload these things? Let's arrange to unload the vehicles first, and then we can chat. We happen to have something to do."

Wang An was startled upon hearing this and turned to say to Wang Dazhu:

"Dad, you look and arrange a place. I think the sand should be placed on the slope below the construction site."

Wang Dazhu said with a bit of disdain upon hearing this:

"I know better than you."

As soon as Wang Dazhu finished speaking, everyone laughed.
