Chapter 116 I Will Be Your Support
"Xiaobao, please give me a copy of the detailed blueprints for the dock construction."
"Okay, host."
Li Lan took the blueprint, spread it out on the desk, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Host, you are amazing. It's only been three months, and you've already helped me complete the task."
Hearing this, Li Lan's eyes flashed, and with a smile in his eyes, he said, "Xiaobao, did you get a promotion?"
"I think it's a promotion, right? The Lord God System told me not to worry. I'll know after the meeting in two days."
"Is your Lord God System fooling you?"
"No, host. The Lord God is so authoritative, how could he deceive Xiaobao?"
"I'm glad I'm not fooling you. But, Xiaobao, can I still use my merit points?"
"It can be used, host."
"That's good. By the way, Xiaobao, can I move the fruit trees on my space farm and plant them?"
"It should be possible, host. Why don't you try transplanting it?"
Li Lan couldn't help rolling his eyes and thought: Forget it, I'm just asking in vain.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Li Xi's voice rang out from outside: "Miss, are you up?"
Hearing Li Xi's voice, Li Lan quickly rolled up the drawing and walked towards the door.
Opening the door, Li Lan saw Li Xi standing there. He frowned and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you? You look so bad?"
Li Xi touched her face and shook her head, "It's okay, I didn't get enough rest last night."
"I'll give you today off. Have a good rest."
"Girl, no. If I don't rest, how can I rest when the soaps and toiletries are all being rushed to deliver them?"
Li Lan looked at her determined expression, smiled, and then said seriously, "Okay, but if you're not feeling well, don't resist. Otherwise, I'll forfeit your monthly salary and bonus."
"Okay, girl."
The two of them walked out of the yard, talking and laughing, and were about to head towards the back mountain when they saw Zhou Yuntian waiting not far away. Li Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking: Well, there's nothing for me to do today.
Thinking about it, he pouted and said, "Girl, I'd better go to the workshop first."
Li Lan looked at Zhou Yuntian, who was standing not far away and staring at her with a smile, and said helplessly: "Okay, you go to the workshop first. Remember to go to your aunt's breakfast shop and have some breakfast before going."
"Oh, okay, girl."
After saying that, Li Xi left quickly.
Looking at Li Xi's hurried back, Li Lan shook his head and laughed, glared at Zhou Yuntian, and said, "Let's go for a walk in the back mountain."
"it is good."
Zhou Yuntian walked over and naturally took her hand, then walked forward without looking away.
Li Lan looked at his hand being held tightly and said with a smile, "Zhou Yuntian, where did your cool demeanor go?"
As soon as these words came out, the man holding her hand paused. He stopped walking, turned sideways to look at her, a smile in his eyes, and said softly: "Why are you so cold in front of my wife? Didn't you say that you like a country dog like me?"
Looking at the serious man in front of her, Li Lan was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help but burst out laughing and said mischievously: "Isn't it? I just like this gorgeous local dog like you."
"That's good." As he said that, a hint of pride flashed across his eyes. He held her hand tightly and continued walking forward.
"Girl, Cao Zhixing will be here soon."
"That's fine. I'll give him the blueprints today, and we can start construction tomorrow. But what's your relationship with this guy? Let's have a Cao engineer, who's famous throughout most of the Qin Dynasty, come here to help supervise the work."
Zhou Yuntian's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "He is my wet nurse's son."
Li Lan was stunned, stopped and stared at him closely. Seeing that he looked normal, he felt relieved.
Zhou Yuntian ruffled the fine hair on her head, stared at her closely, and said softly, "Girl, Nanny and Zhixing are the people who have given me the most warmth in the past 18 years, but I don't know why. Sometimes, I still feel lonely. But then I met you, and I found that my life has become colorful, and I have someone to rely on in my heart. I am no longer alone."
"That's right, I was sent by God to save you. Zhou Yuntian, I will work hard to be your support from now on."
"it is good."
Zhou Yuntian had a smile in his eyes and an unwavering tenderness on his face as he held her tightly in his arms.
Feeling his intense love, Li Lan put her arm around his waist, resting her chin on his shoulder. Gazing at the rolling hills in the distance, she sighed, "Zhou Yuntian, you're my support. Without you, I might still be struggling in hardship. Thank God for letting me meet you."
At 1:00 p.m., when Li Lan and his party arrived at the site of the Liujiawan wharf, quite a few people had already arrived.
"Country Lord."
Seeing Li Lan approaching, Huo Qiubai hurried forward to greet her. When he saw the person behind her, his eyes flashed and he quickly said, "Master Zhou."
"Master Huo is here too?"
Hearing Li Lan's question, Huo Qiubai smiled and said, "Today is the launch day for the construction of the dock, and I came here specially to take a look."
"Well, welcome, Mr. Huo."
"President, Mr. Zhou."
"Xiang Jun, Lord Zhou."
Li Lan and Zhou Yuntian returned the greetings to everyone.
"Grandpa Liu, are you ready?"
"Okay, okay. All ready."
"Okay, let's get started."
There was a long incense table on the shore, with incense holders, cakes, incense candles, and a whole cooked chicken on it. At this time, Liu Xi took the lit incense and handed it to Li Lan and the others who were standing in their positions.
Soon, the village elder Liu, a man of high esteem, walked to the front, stood still, and shouted, "First, bow to the Dragon King, praying for favorable weather; second, bow to the Dragon King, praying for safe passage for ships; third, bow to the Dragon King, praying for protection for the villagers and blessings for thousands of miles."
One bow, two bows, three bows."
……
After half an hour, the worship ended with a loud shout.
"Start construction."
A group of men took hoes and dug symbolically on the shore.
"Grandpa Liu, this is Engineer Cao, a friend invited by Lord Zhou. This time he will be in charge of the construction of our dock. We will all follow his arrangements."
Village Chief Liu was delighted when he heard this. He had been worried that he didn't understand the situation and that if he asked him to supervise, things would go wrong. Now that someone special had come, he felt relieved.
Thinking of this, he happily clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Engineer Cao."
Cao Zhixing quickly clasped his fists and saluted in return, "Village Chief."
At this time, Li Lan walked to the front and shouted loudly to the men:
"Are we all ready?"
"Ready."
A group of men raised the tools in their hands and shouted loudly, as if they had endless energy.
"Okay, once the wharf is built, we'll have a two-day buffet together in several villages."
"Good, good, good."
Everyone excitedly shouted in unison, the sound was deafening, and the others watching on the side were all shocked.
Huo Qiubai was extremely shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. He might now understand that the reason why these villages were built so successfully was because the woman in front of him had a convincing power. She was not high and mighty, but tied herself and the others tightly together, and they advanced and retreated together.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but murmured: "So that's how it is, so that's how it is."
"Young Master, Young Master, Young Master."
Huo Wu was standing aside, watching Huo Qiubai who was sometimes silent with his head down, and sometimes laughing, and he was so scared that he shouted quickly.
"what happened?"
Huo Qiubai, who was lost in thought, couldn't help but glance sideways at Huo Wu who was shouting loudly, and said impatiently.
"Sir, Xiangjun and the others have already left."
Huo Qiubai stared at the empty surroundings for a moment, then quickly said, "Let's go! I have to follow Xiangjun to see if there are any other surprises."
