Chapter 391 Thank you Sister-in-law Chao
The building frame on the left, which has already taken shape, is roughly seven stories high and seems to be extending further.
The floor has not yet been surrounded by bricks and stones, and looks like a huge four-cornered rack.
Gu Chaoxi pursed her lips and raised her hand to cover her forehead.
There was no sun in the sky of that plane, but it was inexplicably dazzling. The air was filled with a kind of dullness after a rainstorm, which made her feel a little breathless.
But after a while, the other people were called away one after another.
Gu Chaoxi, Pei Yan and Qin Wei were all called to go to the building.
It seemed like they needed to build some stairs or something on top, so they called the three of them up there.
Gu Chaoxi walked slowly, following the left path towards the building while looking around.
It had rained and the ground was already wet, and the surrounding pits and steel seemed to be covered with a layer of mud.
Qin Wei led the way in front, and the two people behind him looked around slowly.
There were hardly any people on the lower floors. The higher you went, the more you saw workers walking around and busying themselves.
As soon as they reached the seventh floor, someone came over with two shovels and stuffed them directly into Gu Chaoxi and Qin Wei's hands.
"Hurry up and help over there, where are the two of you?"
"Oh, here we come."
Gu Chaoxi responded and walked in the direction the man pointed with the shovel in his hand.
A pile of mixed cement. Someone must have just poured water on it and there was no time to mix it well.
After two people came over, they started working.
As for Pei Yan, after the other two were called away, he was immediately pulled away by another person and asked to repair the stairs leading to the upper floor.
It seems that this place is going to be built into a very large venue.
But this is not the point. Gu Chaoxi mixed the cement under his feet while looking in other directions.
There are almost no other women on the construction site except male workers.
That’s right, in the fantasy world at that time, women were rarely seen in places like construction sites.
She stepped on the side of the shovel again, stirred the lime and water in the middle twice, and then suddenly stopped and looked towards the stairs.
Because the building is currently just a frame, the stairs leading up to the building do not have handrails or railings installed.
If they look toward the stairs from the direction they are now and the cement, they can see what's happening on the floor below.
Gu Chaoxi narrowed his eyes. It was the woman he had seen at the kitchen door.
Her hair looked a little frizzy, and she had a colorful headscarf wrapped around her head.
Her skin doesn't look fair, but rather dry after years of exposure to the sun, and there seem to be mottled sunburns on her face.
The woman's body was slightly bent forward. After she stepped onto the stairs, Gu Chaoxi saw that she was holding a basket of things in her hands.
It was a relatively large basket woven from bamboo, which the woman carried on her arm, with her other hand holding the basket on the ground.
After she walked completely up the stairs, Gu Chaoxi could see more clearly.
The basket was covered with a gray cloth, and no one knew what was inside.
The woman seemed a little tired and lowered her head slightly.
After she came up, she didn't walk in a certain direction immediately, but stopped and looked around.
Then, as if he had seen his target, he walked towards the few people who were studying the layout on Gu Chaoxi's side.
As the woman gradually approached, Qin Wei also stopped.
On one side of the open space near the edge, several people wearing safety helmets were holding a blueprint and talking about something, and they seemed to be arguing.
The edges had not been sealed yet, so they didn't get too close to the edge, but just pointed at the edge with their hands.
As the woman approached, they stopped.
The woman lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, bent down and put the basket in her arms on the ground.
"I'm afraid you're too tired, so here's some mung bean soup I made this morning. Can you all have some?"
When she stood up, she lifted a little of the cloth covering the basket.
Only then did Gu Chaoxi see clearly that there were several pots of mung bean soup with a stack of bowls next to them.
One of them glanced at the woman and seemed a little annoyed.
"He Mei, you don't have to be like this every time!"
The woman tugged at the corner of her clothes helplessly, laughed dryly twice, and pointed hesitantly at the basket on the ground.
"It's okay. It's no trouble for me."
The man who called her shook his head helplessly, then he looked around, then raised his hand and shouted loudly.
"Brothers, come and have some mung bean soup, our sister-in-law Chao sent it to us!"
Someone around immediately responded, put down their work and walked over there.
Qin Wei and Gu Chaoxi were no exception. They put down the shovels in their hands and walked towards that direction.
The two of them were not far away from each other, just five or six steps away.
Someone was already squatting on the ground, pouring mung bean soup from the pot in a bowl.
Gu Chaoxi was not in a hurry, he just waited by the side, and heard someone thanking the woman again.
"Thank you, sister-in-law Chao, you are so kind to us!"
"It's just a small thing. I have nothing else to do, so I can only contribute this little bit to everyone."
The woman responded with a smile, and seeing that more people were coming, she silently took two steps back.
Looking up, he saw Pei Yan also coming towards him, so Gu Chaoxi squatted down and took a bowl of mung bean soup from the person who poured it.
She didn't rush to drink. After standing up, she looked towards He Mei.
"Thank you, sister-in-law Chao."
He Mei looked at her, smiled rather implicitly and shook her head.
"Oh, it's okay, no need to be polite to Sister Chao."
He lowered his head and took a sip, then Gu Chaoxi narrowed his eyes.
The man just now clearly called the woman He Mei, but when he was calling everyone, he called her Sister-in-law Chao.
Apparently, it's because of the man in the kitchen that they call him that.
She glanced sideways at the man who had called He Mei by her real name. After serving a bowl of mung bean soup, he went straight to the empty space next to him.
He Mei seemed to have noticed it as well. She hesitated for a moment, stamped her feet slightly, and walked over there.
Gu Chaoxi narrowed his eyes, took two steps towards that direction calmly, leaned against a supporting pillar in the middle, and listened carefully sideways.
When Pei Yan came over with the mung bean soup, she raised her hand and made a hushing gesture in front of her lips.
He Mei and that person both had their backs to this side, obviously not wanting anyone to eavesdrop on their conversation.
She drank the mung bean soup silently, pretending to be very tired, and leaned back listlessly.
After a while, the two men finally spoke.
"He Mei, it's not that I won't help you with this matter. You know, the leaders above have the final say."
"Brother Shen, please help me again. My brother is big and has plenty of strength to work!"
