Bai Keke laughed embarrassedly: "Elder sister, stop teasing me."

Qiao Ruoan slapped his thigh and said, "Looks like big sister's guess is right, you really have someone you like, no problem, to have such an ignorant love at such a tender age, I just don't know which family's young master is so lucky to be able to get our Keke's love."

"He's not from any family, he's just an ordinary person."

"So what if he is a normal person? My family's Xiao Ling doesn't have any family background, but aren't we very happy too!"

Bai Keke looked at the pattern on the side of the cup cushion, and couldn't help but think of Professor Li's gentle face. "I really envy you two."

Xiao Ling sat by the side and Qiao Ruoan's words were like a knife, cutting a bloody hole in his closed wounds. Since he was young, he had lived in a shadow that he shouldn't have been born into. There was a day when he finally grew up, when he understood that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to obtain respect and status. Yet his most intimate lover was able to easily tell his friend that he, Xiao Ling, was someone without a family background. Xiao Ling clenched his fists beneath the table, as if he was the only naked person in the entire huge dining hall. Even his money and position were clearly seen by the others, making it impossible for him to hide even if he wanted to.

"Quickly tell sister, who is it?"

Bai Keke said embarrassedly, "It's my high school teacher in charge."

Qiao Ruoan looked like an experienced person, "Elder sister, I have to help you check if a man is reliable or not, right?"

Xiao Ling seemed to still be in a trance.

Qiao Ruoan poked him.

"Right, right." Even though Xiao Ling didn't hear what she said just now.

"Men need to rely on contact to train themselves. Big sister will slowly explain the knowledge contained in this to you." Qiao Ruoan patted Bai Keke's back.

"That's right. I really hope big sister can teach me so that I can find a good man like big brother Xiao."

After tidying up the stone materials, An Ruyou was prepared to take a look at the site. Today was the day the foundation was ready to be built, so she had to look at the specific circumstances before she could make a better judgement.

The second time, An Ruyou seemed to have become more familiar with the place. She followed the directions and entered the village, where the scenery was completely different from the previous times, where unattended vines were pulled onto fences and arranged in a neat manner, looking not only beautiful but also clean. The ground was decorated and the three colored floor tiles were orderly laid out on the road as if they were walking on a carpet by hand, the uneven ground looked like it was planted with landscape flowers.

"Look at that car! It can't be a tourist, right?"

"What tourist? Are you crazy about money? This museum hasn't been built yet!"

Look at my impatience, thanks to the Ann's, we are going to earn money soon, and I heard that the most profitable job in the countryside right now is farming. Everyone in the city likes to go to the countryside on weekends to eat coarse food and breathe fresh air, and my family's Third Fatty's aunt lives in Jiangbei Province to eat by the mountains and water.

"If we rent out the land, we'll earn another fortune."

"That's right, that's right. Quickly throw away this rock. It's not good to leave it at the door. It's time for tourists to come."

"I'll throw it right now."

stopped to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two women in the afternoon. Now, the benefits that the Ann's could bring to the village had truly seeped into every single household. When the dam started to make a profit, it would be a big windfall for them.

While observing the changes in the village, walking around, he would take out the pictures he had taken of the butterflies in the flower leaves or a cute little dog. An Ruyou had a lot of fun, in this place that was far away from the city's clamor, everything was quiet.

"Miss, you're the one that came last time, right?"

An Ruyou turned her head and saw the woman she had chatted with last time.

"It really is you. Hurry up and come to my house. I can truly thank you."

An Ruyou wanted to refuse, but due to Auntie's sincere insistence, she couldn't find her. She could only follow her to the yard, where the woman busily ran around the place and brought out a giant watermelon from the well, "You guys probably haven't seen it before, but the watermelon needs to be put in our village's natural refrigerator to be frozen. It's different from a refrigerator, that industrial refrigeration can only make people feel stomachache, this definitely won't."

He cut the watermelon into small pieces and placed it in front of An Ruyou, "Let's eat and talk."

An Ruyou picked up a piece of watermelon and bit off the brightest red tip. Fresh, sweet juice burst out from her lips and teeth, "Wow, it's really so sweet, cool, and my whole body feels comfortable."

"Ever since you came here last time, people have been coming to this village since old age. They helped us build the road today, and they'll help us lay the bricks tomorrow. Walking on the road is not only comfortable, but their shoes won't be stained with dust anymore. If you care about our lives so much, you must be a good person."

"Auntie, you are being serious, I am just an employee of the Ann's. Under the circumstances of preserving the company's interests, to the maximum extent of my ability to ensure the interests of the masses do not suffer losses is my biggest responsibility."

"Look at you, kid, you're being modest, we all heard from the construction team that a young lady surnamed An has been helping us," the woman turned on the TV, "Look at this color TV, it's so thin and beautiful, and the people on it look like they're real. This is all given to us by you."

"It was just a small effort. Everyone is working on the dam during the day, so they must be very tired after returning home. Watching TV is the best way to relieve their fatigue."

"What Bodhisattva do you worship for the next festival? Your An clan is a living Bodhisattva."

From a distance, large excavators were seen working, transporting rocks and bushes to other places. The workers were constantly comparing the locations of the foundations using drawings. Seeing An Ruyou coming in, a worker walked over, "Hello miss, is there anything I can help you with?"

An Ruyou showed him her chest card, "I am An Ruyou, the person in charge of the André Museum of Ceramics project."

It is my pleasure to meet you, I have long heard people saying that young miss is intelligent and approachable, today I see that you are indeed extraordinary, I am Gao Dachuan, the person in charge of this business knows how to look at Feng Shui, here it is so lofty and smooth, like looking from afar, it is like a dragon descending to the mortal world, the water is slightly flat, it is a rare Feng Shui, we are currently discussing the start of a new work, Feng Shui is gathering spirit to recuperate, it is not good to rashly work here, it is easy to alarm the earth, so we prepared to report to our superiors to cut the flowers to get a good head, we came here to inspect the Miss Ann.

"Cut the ribbon? I've never done anything like this before, and I'm afraid I won't do it well. "

"It doesn't matter. Actually, we all know that this is a good place, and the security is complete. We're only preparing such a ceremony to pacify everyone's reverence."

An Ruyou felt that his words made a lot of sense, and agreed, "Alright then, let me try."

On the bright red silk, there was a bunch of grass pulled from the side and a bronze coin. This money was called the house pressing money, and in ancient times, the final procedure of building a house was to build the upper girders, the greater the girders, and also to place a copper coin on the beams. The so-called house pressing, in fact, also represented the best wishes of the common people for the building to be sturdy in ancient times, and the copper coin gradually became their talisman. Today, although the construction method had changed, and the beams no longer became the most important part of the buildings, people still maintained the custom of starting the construction work by paying copper coins as a way of offering their services to the land.

There were three bowls on the ground, one filled with water. The water was the water in the dike next to it, one filled with soil, which had just been picked up from the ground, and one filled with rice grains that had yet to grow. According to construction workers, this meant that the building would bring food, and food meant wealth.

An Ruyou listened with relish. It turned out that the "separation of rows and mountains" that people mentioned did not refer to one's abilities and techniques at work. It was more likely to be a traditional practice passed down from the older generation.

An Ruyou prayed along with them that the building would bring wealth to the people, that everyone would be safe and unharmed during the construction. She picked up the scissors she had prepared and cut open the red silk.

"Time to start!"

The workers seemed to be inspired and their movements became especially nimble.

An Ruyou looked at the blueprint for half a day with a happy heart. This was her first project in Ann's, and she was as precious as her child.

After sitting for half the afternoon, the hole in the ground was about to be dug up. An Ruyou wanted to leave, but suddenly, a loud noise came out, startling everyone, the workers on the excavator jumped out of the car and said, "I seem to have dug something."

An Ruyou followed the workers and surrounded them. The excavator drove off with the excavator, revealing the deep pit and a piece of the bluestone in it. Just from the exposed part of the stone, one could imagine how big of a rock it was.

An Ruyou found Gao Dachuan, "Can you use explosives to blast this rock?"

Gao Dachuan frowned, "The geology here is very soft, the shockwaves from the explosion are not easy to control, I am afraid it will cause a landslide, and the worst case scenario would lead to the collapse of the dam."

"What?" An Ruyou was about to go crazy from anxiety.

"Miss Ann, don't be anxious. I will have someone to smash open a part of it and see what the stone is made of before making any plans."

An Ruyou sat stupidly at the side, when she suddenly saw a wisp of smoke coming out from the stone. The smoke turned into a human shape and floated away, "Wait, can you dig out the entire stone?"

"That's fine too, but first we have to look at the exact size."

After Gao Dachuan left, he stared at the big bluestone, wanting to see what he had just seen clearly. However, it was useless.

The workers jumped into the hole and dug the soil around the bluestone. Gradually, the entire bluestone was revealed to everyone. The entire piece of bluestone was in perfect harmony, not even a crack could be seen, the whole piece was ovoid in shape, but there was no artificially made order, it was not very big, and would not affect the subsequent construction at all.
