Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 771: Chapter 102: The Misadventures of a Flamboyant Man (Part 2)

Xiao Xian couldn’t help but laugh at what he said; Yezi was just being Yezi. He may have grown taller and changed his clothes, but his playful nature remained the same.

"You, all you know is how to have fun. I came here to ask for your help with a serious matter. You’ve been away from Dongnan Miao Village for so long, you haven’t forgotten all the work there, have you?" After teasing Yezi, Xiao Xian didn’t forget to explain why she wanted him to come over today.

Yezi was startled upon hearing this. Tasks from Dongnan Miao Village? What tasks?

"Is there a problem with your engraved plum bracelet?" Yezi scrutinized Xiao Xian’s hands, not seeing the engraved plum bracelet.

"No, the bracelet is here," Xiao Xian said, taking out the well-kept carved plum bracelet and putting it on.

She often plants things in the North Campus, and in order not to lose or dirty the bracelet, she usually keeps it stored away.

"Then what other tasks could there be? I can do everything you can, can’t I?" Yezi wondered. During his time in Dongnan Miao Village, he never left Xiao Xian out of any activity.

"It’s an exclusive task for Miao people; how could I possibly do it. Look, I’ve even found the materials for you," Xiao Xian said, turning around and pointing to a blue pickup truck not far away, loaded with a full pile of bamboo.

"Bamboo? Moso Bamboo, no less. How did you manage to get so much bamboo up north, you couldn’t possibly be..." Yezi saw Xiao Xian playfully wink and replied, "Exactly, I want to build a bamboo building."

A bamboo building? Yezi didn’t catch on immediately. What was going on, did Xiao Xian want to build a bamboo building up north?

Xiao Xian gave Yezi an overview. She was helping Mao Dazhu with decorations for a large exhibition hall project, but she didn’t have enough flowers at the moment. After much consideration, she realized that she could only substitute other plants.

"Our venue is Hall D4 of the National Convention and Exhibition Center. This exhibition displays a variety of ethnic minority specialties, and the visitors include both foreigners and locals. I think no matter what, they would be interested in ethnic minority items. Xiao Xian plans to build a single-story bamboo building, set it up at the entrance and construct a few bamboo pavilions inside the venue.

"Ah, so you’re asking me to do the hard labor," Yezi listened, feeling quite displeased. He thought he was going to watch a movie or go shopping with Xiao Xian today, and had even skipped a meeting with the Huang family for this. Now it seemed his task was going to be much harder than kicking back in an office meeting.

"What, are you still unwilling?" Xiao Xian swung her fist and punched him lightly in the chest.

Yezi grinned and pretended to be in pain, "Sure, the horizontal beam of our Miao family’s bamboo building was hung by me," Miao children take responsibilities early. When the Li Family was building their bamboo house, it happened that Li Quqi was out.

Yezi’s Mama, Miao Saisong, hired Yibar to do the heavy lifting, with Yezi assisting. Yezi had a natural talent for craftsmanship, and after watching several times, he got the gist of it.

"However, I have a condition. After the bamboo building is finished, you have to treat me to a meal, just you and me. We agreed, and you can’t even bring Little Pig along," Yezi was sharper than Zhou Ziang on this topic, getting straight to the point.

"Eating is eating, but we agreed, the food can’t cost more than three hundred. Do you have any other conditions? Just say them all," Xiao Xian pouted, that dead Yezi, now somewhat of a working Emperor, and still haggling over little sums with her.

"Fine, but there is something I need to tell you upfront. You know, bamboo buildings might look simple, but they’re difficult to build. Your schedule is tight, so I’ll hire some construction workers to assist. We’ll use bamboo on the outside, and wooden beams to substitute on the inside, for faster speed and sturdiness." Years of experience had taught Yezi a lot, and after a quick evaluation, he had the best plan in mind.

"That’s fine. I already asked Uncle Mao to talk to the exhibition hall people to set some safety standards. You just need to construct according to those standards. If you need any materials, just tell Uncle Mao. So, it’s settled then. You go to the National Convention and Exhibition Center first; I have to make another trip to Cherry Valley," Xiao Xian finished speaking, waved her hand, and was ready to leave.

"Aren’t you coming with me?" Yezi was hugely disappointed. It would take about two days to build the bamboo house, and he thought Xiao Xian would accompany him throughout the process, but she left him behind to deal with other matters.

"I have to prepare more flowers. It’s Uncle Mao’s fault, he didn’t make it clear what the so-called special flower arranging company for the exhibition meant, and that I have to provide plants and flowers for the exhibitor booths," Xiao Xian only got the notice this morning, that she must provide potted plants and flowers for the display at the exhibitors’ booths.

Now, the shortage of flowers she needed was even greater, and she urgently had to purchase suitable flowers in the outskirts of Beijing including Cherry Valley.

"Alright, just remember our agreement," Yezi saw Xiao Xian in a fluster and didn’t want to trouble her further.

They agreed to meet at the National Convention and Exhibition Center the next day. Yezi directed the truck, delivering a load of Moso Bamboo and then took the passenger seat, waiting for the truck to start.

The phone started ringing again. Without looking at the number, Yezi answered, "I’ve already said I won’t be available to go to the office these next two days, any important documents can wait for my signature when I return."

"Ah Ye, if you’re not at the office, where did you go? I called several times and left a message yesterday, why didn’t you get back to me?" Xu Lan Ya was on the other end, speaking flirtatiously.

"Lan Ya, it’s you," Yezi massaged his temples, "I’ve been very busy lately, I fell asleep as soon as I got home last night."

"You should rest if you’re busy. Didn’t you say last time you were very interested in engraving silver? I have two tickets to the international jewelry exhibition that opens the day after tomorrow. Why don’t we go together?" Xu Lan Ya looked at the tickets in her hand for the international jewelry exhibition held at the National Convention and Exhibition Center. (To be continued.
