The next morning, the construction team arrived in big trucks, bringing heavy construction equipment.
However, they had to finish Mr. Zhao's task first, so Gu Xi's little house would have to wait a while longer.
Gu Xi wasn't in a hurry, though.
Qin Yi came over early in the morning to snag some sweet potatoes. Seeing the construction team had already started work over there, she couldn't help but feel a little envious. "I wonder when I'll get to have a little house of my own..."
Gu Xi found that a bit odd. "You guys shouldn't be short on money, right?"
"Short? Of course we're short!" Qin Yi took a vicious bite of her sweet potato. "The country has had it rough these past few years, and the army has had to tighten its belt to get by. All the money my sister and I had saved up, we spent it all on seeds the other day."
"What's your problem?" Wei Heng, cradling a large sweet potato, sat next to Qin Yi and shot her a sidelong glance. "Did my sweet potato offend you somehow?"
