How did hiring someone to press a pig image during Chinese New Year become a top trend?

Dean Li Daguo's eyes were very bright.

It was even shinier than the unpeeled ear of corn in Xu An's hand.

That's the kind of fervor engineers feel when they see blank blueprints.

Xu An clutched half a corncob in his hand, feeling his throat go dry.

He glanced at the excavator parked at the entrance, a steel behemoth.

He glanced again at the two rows of men standing straight behind Li Daguo, all wearing safety helmets.

This isn't a place to build houses.

This is clearly an attack on Ping'an County.

"Dean Li... Dean Li."

Xu An stammered as he spoke.

"That's way too fast!"

"The bureau chief just left yesterday, so these blueprints... haven't been drawn up yet, have they?"

Li Daguo laughed heartily.

He pulled the blue folder from under his arm.

With a "smack," it was flung away.

He confronted Xu An directly.

"Comrade Xu An, you underestimate our Huixian Design Institute!"

"The bureau chief finished his meeting at 11 p.m. last night."

"All sixty designers in our institute worked overtime through the night!"

"The structural diagrams, plumbing and electrical diagrams, floor plans, and even the routing of the exhaust ducts have all been calculated!"

Li Daguo pointed to the dense lines on the drawing.

He looked very proud.

"Following Secretary Li's instructions, we must build this canteen into a project that will last for a hundred years!"

"Earthquake resistance up to magnitude 8!"

"Flooding event expected once every fifty years!"

"Even if the Taihang Mountains collapse, this canteen will still stand here!"

Xu An's head was buzzing.

Earthquake resistance level 8?

Fifty years of flood control?

I just wanted to give my third grandmother a hot meal.

I never intended to build this as a nuclear bunker.

In the live stream room.

Netizens who were originally laughing about the "mouthwash incident" are now in a state of shock.

They were also stunned by the scene.

The comments section paused briefly.

Then, a frenzy erupted.

[ID Civil Engineering Bro]: Holy crap? These blueprints? Were they created overnight in CAD? They look like civil defense projects!

[ID Infrastructure Maniac]: Awesome! Is this the legendary Huixian speed? We decided to do it last night, and we're in the game this morning?

[ID wants to eat big pot dishes]: I recognize this excavator, it's a Sany Heavy Industry SY215. Is it used to dig a foundation? Is it going to be used to dig a subway?

[ID Xu An's Corn]: Blogger: I just wanted to build a kitchen, and you built me ​​a fortress?

Xu An was still in a daze.

The grandfather, who had been practicing Tai Chi on the side, suddenly stopped.

The old man put his old padded jacket on.

With his hands behind his back, he slowly strolled up to Li Daguo.

"No matter how well the blueprints are drawn, they still need to be grounded in reality."

Grandpa pointed to an open space on the west side of the yard.

That's the place where those internet celebrities pitched their tents yesterday.

"That piece of land used to be a threshing ground."

"The soil is hard and sturdy."

"But there might be rocks underneath."

"Be careful when you're digging, don't break the bucket."

Upon hearing this, Li Daguo immediately dropped his previous engineer's arrogance.

He didn't know who the old man was.

But looking at the old man's commanding presence...

In addition, the bureau chief had specifically instructed that Xujia Village was full of hidden talents.

Li Daguo quickly bent down slightly.

"The old man is right."

"We'll start by surveying the area."

"Um... Comrade Xu An, can we start construction now?"

All eyes.

The focus shifted back to Xu An.

Xu An felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

This is even more painful than being watched by tens of thousands of people while peeling corn.

This is to make him give the order.

How could someone who has never even served as a class leader be qualified to command this "engineering corps"?

Xu An stuffed the corn cob in his hand into his pocket.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

"Then... let's move."

"Just... keep it quiet."

"Don't scare Uncle Er's donkey."

That was the starting gun.

Li Daguo's expression turned serious.

Turn around.

He suddenly waved his hand at the group of workers and excavator operators.

"Everyone has it!"

"Goal: A mutual-aid elderly care canteen in Xujia Village!"

"Level One Combat Readiness!"

"start!!!"

"Boom—!!!"

The enormous engine roared once again.

Black smoke rose up.

The excavator, weighing tens of tons, turned its tracks, emitting a sickening metallic scraping sound.

It's like a giant beast that has awakened.

It moved its body flexibly.

The huge bucket was raised high, blocking out the morning sun.

"Bang!"

The bucket slammed into the hard ground.

Soil flew everywhere.

A grand infrastructure construction project is underway in Xujia Village this early morning.

The event has officially begun.

Xu An was so startled by the commotion that he took two steps back.

It crashed directly into the millstone.

The phone stand wobbled.

The camera was pointed directly at the excavator that was in operation.

Data from the live stream.

It started to surge.

Online users: 8... 10... 15...

At this hour, many people would still be squeezing onto the subway or still lazing in bed.

but.

Nothing is more stress-relieving than watching an excavator dig soil.

This is an instinct etched into human DNA.

Especially men.

[Which ID excavator technology is the best?]: Brothers! Stop looking at pretty girls! Come and see how they dig! This bucket handles so damn smoothly!

[ID Electronics Factory Flower]: I don't know how to dig, but watching that big pit get bigger and bigger cured my OCD.

【ID Cloud Supervisor 001】: I hereby declare that I am the number one cloud supervisor of this cafeteria! I don't like that brick, move it to the left!

[Top ID on the leaderboard]: If I send a rocket, can the master make a heart shape for me with a shovel bucket?

Xu An looked at the comments section.

He looked utterly helpless.

These people.

Last night I watched the iron flower fireworks display, this morning I watched the earth-digging.

Is there nothing they don't like to watch?

"that……"

Xu An faced the camera, trying to make his presence felt.

"Gray Big".

"Please bear with it."

"I'll go boil some water for the chefs."

After Xu An finished speaking, he acted like a deserter.

He carried the large tea mug and went inside.

Let's leave this big event to Dean Li and Grandpa.

He's only good at boiling water.

however.

Just as Xu Angang had turned on the coal stove and hadn't even sat down to drink the water...

A sudden commotion broke out outside.

The roar of the excavator stopped.

Li Daguo's roar came in.

"stop!"

"Stop!"

"Quickly! Set up a cordon!"

Xu An's heart skipped a beat.

broken.

Has something really happened?

Did they cut the fiber optic cable?

Or should we dig up the ancestral graves of Second Uncle's family?

Xu An threw down the fire tongs and ran outside.

I ran into the yard and took a look.

The excavator was parked there, its bucket suspended in mid-air.

The group of workers formed a circle, pointing and commenting on the newly dug pit.

Li Daguo was squatting by the pit, shouting something into a walkie-talkie.

Grandpa stood by the pit with his hands behind his back, his brow furrowed.

Xu An squeezed into the crowd.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

"Did you dig up a water pipe?"

No one cares about him.

Everyone stared at the bottom of the pit.

Xu An peeked out.

moment.

My scalp is tingling.
