As soon as he heard his mother's voice, the smile on Zhao Nanxiao's lips calmed down.

She almost forgot about this.

"Xiao Nan, are you listening? Why don't you speak?"

The mother's voice came again on the phone.

Zhao Nanxiao slowly sat up from the bed and whispered: "I'm listening."

"When will you come back?"

"Just these days..."

Zhao Nanxiao's good mood just now disappeared and he responded lazily.

My mother was obviously relieved and said softly: "That's good. Remember to send a flight message before leaving, and I will go to the airport to pick you up early."

"No need, you don't drive normally, I'll go back by myself."

"It's okay, mom asks Xiao Zhou to send her to mom."

Xiao Zhou is her mother's assistant.

"Let's talk about it then. This is the case first, I'm going to have a rest."

Zhao Nanxiao hung up the phone, held the phone in his hand, and sat on the bed and became ecstatic.

After a while, a few light knuckles suddenly came from the partition wall.

Zhao Nanxiao turned his head and looked at the wall, paused, opened the dialog box, and sent a question mark.

He quickly came back: "Aunt Chen just called you? Sorry, it wasn't you who eavesdropped on purpose. What's the matter?"

Zhao Nanxiao hesitated for a while and replied "Nothing".

After she posted these three words, he did not come back to ask questions and went silent.

This night, in the next room, he didn't drag a chair like before, walking back and forth, or making a crisp and pleasant keyboard typing sound, and it was always quiet, as if he had gone to bed early.

Zhao Nanxiao lay on the bed and fell asleep very late. She got up the next day, packed up and passed by the next door. She subconsciously took a look.

There was no one in the room.

He left very early.

The first step in building such a suspension bridge is to build anchor ingots. At the same time, the on-site concrete factory and the mechanical factory also simultaneously manufacture the concrete and parts of the components required for the next bridge construction.

The next morning, the anchor ingot yard and factory at the east and west construction sites of the Canyon were started at the same time. The giant excavator and drilling rig made a rumbling sound, dust and iron and fire splashed everywhere. After the people from the design institute came back from the construction site, they held a small meeting to discuss the next personnel's stay and work arrangements.

Generally speaking, for such a huge investment in super-large bridge project site, because of the complex drawings, the design team hopes that the design team will also send personnel to station on the construction site to provide on-site guidance to solve a large number of unpredictable technical problems that may occur at any time on the construction site. This is also the practice of qualified large-scale design institutes.

Today's internal meeting went smoothly, especially Zhao Nanxiao's stay or not, which was almost out of the scope of discussion. As soon as Lao Chen opened his mouth, he asked her to return to the design institute, and everyone agreed without any objection. After discussion, the remaining people finally decided that Lao Chen Jianggong would take Chen Songnan to cooperate with the construction, and the rest would go back first, depending on the situation, and the hospital would arrange personnel rotation regularly in the future.

"Xiao Zhao, come back. If you encounter any problems with the bi side, please communicate online with you or the people in the hospital. Anyway, the Internet is so developed now, so it is very convenient to contact us."

Old Chen finally said this to Zhao Nanxiao.

Zhao Nanxiao didn't say anything.

"Okay, that's the decision. The few people who have returned will make up files for the matter at hand and then check the flight. It's over, and prepare to go back early."

After a while, Zhao Nanxiao came out of the meeting room with a folder in his arms, and Chen Songnan chased him up and walked with her.

Compared to the old Chen and Jiang Gong who have been polished by their careers, who have lost their sharpness and are helpless now, Chen Songnan has no complaints about such an arrangement. Instead, he is looking forward to it and catch up with her and said, "Mr. Zhao, are you in a hurry to come back now? I think you didn't say much in the morning."

Zhao Nanxiao smiled at him.

"I'll get the stuff for you."

"It's okay, I'll take it myself."

Zhao Nanxiao declined, thought for a while, and said, "Xu Shu has good business skills and good people. If you encounter problems on the scene in the future, you can ask him nearby for advice. I believe he will do his best to take you."

Chen Songnan nodded: "Okay, I know."

Seeing that he looked at him, Zhao Nanxiao wanted to speak but stopped, he said, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Chen Songnan hesitated for a while, leaned over and whispered: "Mr. Zhao, brother, XCMG, what's the relationship between you two?"

Zhao Nanxiaoxin jumped slightly: "What are you asking about this?"

Chen Songnan waved his hand quickly: "It's not me! It was me who heard someone say you two are getting together a few days ago? They said that after you came over, my brother changed the house with Lao Wan at the supervision station that day and lived next to you. They also said you helped me wash my socks? Oh, I was very happy when I heard it, but I ran over to ask my brother, but he said no, and said you helped him because his hand broke that day and asked you for help."

Zhao Nanxiao was stunned and stopped.

"Mr. Zhao, are you and brother good? " Chen Songnan seemed very curious.

Zhao Nanxiao came back to his senses: "It's not. Do your business well, don't listen to it, and don't spread rumors."

"Okay, okay, I understand, I won't say it..."

Chen Songnan responded, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at the front: "Hey, brother is there!"

Zhao Nanxiao looked up and said, Sure enough, Xu Shu was holding a hard hat in his hand, standing not far away from the front and talking with a few people wearing hard hats.

"Brother! XCMG!"

Chen Songnan called him.

He turned around, glanced at this side, and finally said a few words to the people beside him, turned around and walked over, and stopped in front of him.

"Brother, we just finished the meeting and have already discussed it. Director Chen, I will stay and cooperate with your construction party first. Mr. Zhao and a few others have gone back."

He looked at her.

Zhao Nanxiao was silent.

He paused and said, "It's good for you to go back, so that your mother can rest assured. It's really not suitable for you to stay for a long time."

He turned to Chen Songnan again: "One day they will come back, tell me, I'll take them to the airport."

"Okay, no problem!" Chen Songnan said.

He looked at her again and nodded: "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

He put on his hat and turned around and left.

The matter at hand was sorted out in the afternoon. The colleagues from the surveying institute were in a hurry to return and happened to find out that there would be tickets tomorrow, so they booked them directly.

In the evening, Zhao Nanxiao came back. He saw that it was dinner time and felt that he had no appetite, so he didn't go to the cafeteria to eat. He planned to go later. If he was hungry, just eat a few biscuits to deal with.

She dragged her suitcase from under the bed, opened it, squatted in front of her and packed things. Suddenly, she heard the knock on the door, and her heart was jumping. She calmed down, stood up and walked over to open the door, and found that the one who knocked on the door was Lao Li of the canteen.

Old Li held the lunch box in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, I saw that you didn't come to eat, so I brought you the cooked vegetables and rice together. If you don't eat it, it will turn cold." As he said that, he put the lunch box on the table and left.

Zhao Nanxiao was not stupid either. After eating the dishes that Xu Shu brought over for so many days, he gradually realized that it must have been the ones he asked Lao Li to cook for him.

She opened the lunch box, looked at the dishes, closed the lid back, hesitated for a while, and sent him a message with her cell phone, asking him if he had eaten, and asked him to come and have dinner together.

After a while, he replied to the message, saying that he had just seen it, so he didn't reply in time. He had something to do at the construction site on the east bank of the canyon, so he ate there directly, asking her not to wait and eat it by herself.

Zhao Nanxiao had to sit down and ate some alone, feeling that he couldn't taste it. After looking at the time, he was afraid that there would be too many people in the bathroom, so he took his clothes to take a shower in the bathroom.

The bathroom on the construction site is naturally equipped with a female bath, but because there are few women and the place is very small, it is divided into two parts. The inside is a bathing room, which is as big as an ordinary family bathroom. It has two shower heads for showers, and the outside is used to wash clothes.

Women on the construction site usually don’t take a bath so early to rest. She is the only one in the bathroom now. After taking a shower, she put on her clothes, went out to wipe her hair with a towel, rubbed her changed underwear, and returned to her residence with a basin. She saw a woman in her forties standing in front of Xu Shu’s house and looking around. When she saw herself coming, she smiled on her face.

The woman has dark skin, strong body, and loud voice, but she gives people a sense of calmness and intimacy.

Zhao Nanxiao knew that she was the female contractor on the construction site, Sister Cai.

"Mr. Zhao, are you back from taking a shower?"

Sister Cai greeted her and greeted her warmly.

"Yes, Sister Cai, are you looking for Xu Shu?" Zhao Nanxiao stopped and responded politely.

"That's right, I'm having something to do with him. I just built the cable duct and passed the acceptance. Now I have to repair the slope. People are all on the construction site now. I'm afraid that I can't repair it and rework. I remembered that XCMG promised me to teach me how to set the slope two days ago. I'm here, do you want to ask him for advice?"

Zhao Nanxiao said: "The others are on the construction site on the other side of the shore, so it should be very late to come back in the evening. Do you want to call him for you?"

The woman showed disappointment at first, then immediately waved her hand: "No, no, I'll wait, see when he's free. He's so busy and promises to help. I'm already embarrassed."

Zhao Nanxiao knew that she had just arrived last week and all the people she brought were women, and there seemed to be twenty or thirty, most of whom were about the same age as her, and they were thirty or forty. They specially built small work such as retaining walls, gutters, cable trenches, etc. for construction sites such as those that big contractors were not willing to do. High slopes like this should be contracted by the construction site. If she couldn't repair them well, they would naturally bear the losses themselves.

"I won't disturb you anymore. Thank you, Mr. Zhao, please rest." The woman thanked her and was about to leave immediately.

Zhao Nanxiao looked at her back, hesitated, and called her: "Sister Cai, I'm fine now. If you believe me, I'll go with you to see it."

The woman shook her head quickly: "No, no, how can I bother you? Besides, you have taken a shower and I'm very dirty."

"It's okay, wait a moment, I'll change my clothes."

"Thank you so much." Sister Cai was very happy and thanked her repeatedly.

Zhao Nanxiao went into the house to change his clothes, put on a hard hat, and followed Sister Cai to the construction site.

The eldest sister was very talkative and didn't need Zhao Nanxiao to ask on the road. She talked about the origin of the women's contract team she led, saying that her husband had died a few years ago and her family was too poor. One day, she took her eight-year-old daughter to the market. Her daughter liked a skirt worth twenty yuan. She stood in front of the street stall for a long time and couldn't bear to leave. After thinking about it, she couldn't afford it in the end. She didn't fall asleep all night after coming back. The next day she handed her daughter to her mother and went out to work at the construction site with her brother.

"It was the beginning of last year. It was also my luck. I came to the group construction site. My brother who was a small contractor was not kind, he bet, and he repaired the ditch for the highway construction site. Half of the repairs were made, and he ran away with his wages. When he got it back, he had lost all the money. What should he do? It cannot delay people's affairs, and he can't be looked down upon. I plucked up the courage to continue taking it. I knew XCMG that I met at that time. Not long after he heard that he had just returned from abroad, I thought he would look down on us, but I didn't expect that others were so good and knew that I was sleepy.

It was difficult, so I even helped me advance money. How could I let it go? At that time, I gritted my teeth and thought that I would persist in completing the work, not only did it, but also did it beautifully. Those men thought that the money was low and refused to do it, so I called the girls in our village to come over. They had no money at home, so they could come over to earn some money. They just stayed there for more than two months and ended up finishing the work. In the end, they earned 60,000 or 70,000, and each person had five or six thousand. Oh, I was so happy at that time, I never made so much money myself..."

Sister Cai was so excited that Zhao Nanxiao gradually became fascinated by the excitement of their money. For some reason, she was also very happy.
