I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

 Chapter 303 Longing for a Family

Wei Lan folded the cotton-padded jacket and placed it next to the pillow at the head of Gu Chao's bed.

When she put it down, she patted it lightly with her hand. While she felt that she had accomplished a big thing, she was also looking forward to Gu Chao's joy when he discovered it.

Ji Huaiyuan and his grandson have all stayed at the brigade captain's house in the past two days. The brigade leader originally said that they could live in a large canteen for a rest, but in fact the situation was much worse than it appeared on the surface.

The beams in the house were broken, most of the roof collapsed, and the courtyard wall collapsed. Because it had not been visited for a long time, the wooden doors and windows were tattered by rats.

It is not a project that can be repaired in a day or two, but because of the urgent time, all the strong young men in the brigade were called over.

 There are those who sit with their legs crossed on the roof and "ding-ding" hammering, and there are also those who use hammers to hit the dilapidated courtyard walls to clean the foundations in preparation for rebuilding the walls later.

Gu Chao was breathing heavily, wearing only native linen trousers and a white vest.

When it was so cold and freezing, the breath he exhaled turned into white mist, and the sweat on his body was dripping down his exposed arms.

Gu Chao wiped the sweat from his forehead and saw that the dirt in the open space in the courtyard was almost piled up, so he put down the pole and bag on his shoulder.

Gu Chao picked up the **** on the side and dug out a hole in the middle of the land that looked like a crater.

Ji Fengyao, who was standing next to the water tank, saw this, filled his gourd with water and walked over, "Do you want to pour it on it?"

"No need." Gu Chao glanced at Ji Fengyao and saw that although he was thin and small, his appearance was very elegant. He probably guessed that he was the grandson of technician Ji as the wives in the brigade said.

With just one glance, Gu Chao averted his gaze. After digging out the hole, Gu Chao turned around and went to the big guillotine and started cutting the straw.

This used to be the large canteen of the brigade. At that time, the courtyard wall was only waist-high. Now most of it has collapsed, and a small part of the adobe bricks have cracks. They were knocked down just now.

 When this place is renovated into a house for people to live in, the courtyard wall needs to be re-erected.

As for the adobe bricks for the wall, you need to mix soil and straw stalks at a ratio of 7:3, add water and break the bricks again, and then use them after they are dry in the shade.

Ji Fengyao put the gourd and ladle back into the water tank and ran to Gu Chao to touch the big guillotine, "Let me help you!"

Gu Chao moved quickly and poked Ji Fengyao's shoulder with a finger. The little boy immediately took a few steps back.

Gu Chao warned: "You are not needed here, go and play."

Ji Fengyao frowned and stood silently for a long time.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Ji Fengyao took another step forward and said, "This will be my home from now on."

"So?" Gu Chao glanced at him sideways, holding the handle of the knife in his arm, raising and lowering it, and his shoulder muscles pulled up graceful curves with the movement.

Ji Fengyao blew out a breath of dissatisfaction from his nose, puffed up his cheeks and said fiercely: "This will be my home from now on. I want to help clean up my home. What's wrong with that!"

 “There’s nothing wrong.” Gu Chao said calmly.

Immediately he raised his chin and his eyes fell on an open space next to the mound, "Go and clean it up. We'll break it down there later."

Ji Fengyao was originally dissatisfied with Gu Chao's cold reaction, but now that he heard that he could help, he immediately smiled and turned around to look for a broom.

Ji Fengyao was really scared during those years in the northwest. He longed for stability more than anyone else.

Now that they have finally reached a place where people around them are very kind to them, Ji Fengyao can’t wait to have a home.

  Even though he and his grandfather are the only ones left in this family.
