After settling the matter of going to school, Lin Fan began contacting Liu Dezhu, a contractor he knew.

Speaking of which, Liu Dezhu was also a pitiful person. Although his name sounded like "keeping someone," he actually hadn't kept anyone.

His parents died early, his son died young, and his wife ran away with someone else...

Strangely enough, when he was alone, he had good luck and became a contractor, earning a lot of money. However, he never dared to find another partner.

In his words, it was: "I'm a born jinx, whoever gets involved with me is unlucky, so let it be."

However, the painful experience made Liu Dezhu cherish the present more. At the same time, he was good to his friends and workers, so everyone liked to work with him.

In the past few years, Lin Fan had worked as a bricklayer under Liu Dezhu several times intermittently, so they were quite familiar.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan directly sent a Feixin message.

"Brother Zhu, any work?"

Soon, Liu Dezhu replied.

"Whoa, didn't you get into a master's program? Still want to lay bricks?"

"I have to if I don't have money. I don't know how to do business, so I can only lay bricks to maintain my life, like this..."

"Alright, you're still so funny. I'll send you the address. Come early tomorrow morning, there's work that needs people."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhu."

After ending the contact, Lin Fan felt more relaxed.

"Now, I have a job. With the entry of the Eight Desolations Six Directions Only I Am Supreme Skill, my strength and physical fitness are improving. The efficiency of laying bricks should be higher, and I'll earn money faster..."

"After laying bricks for a while, I shouldn't be too short of money."

"But there's a problem, is Qi Zixiao willing to lay bricks?"

Asking the Saintess to lay bricks...

Probably only this guy could come up with that.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

What's wrong with laying bricks? Clear prices, the more you lay, the more you earn, isn't that good? So he personally was willing, but Qi Zixiao...

"It's really hard to say."

"Forget it, I'll give her a guide when she comes back and forth tomorrow, let her know how to take the bus to get there and back, and also know how to lay bricks..."

"She was quite obedient last time she transmigrated, she should lay bricks this time, right?"

Back home, Lin Fan felt much more relaxed.

Problems are meant to be solved.

Now, the problem of going to school is barely solved, short of money? A job has been found, as long as Qi Zixiao doesn't cause any trouble, it can be improved after a while.

In addition, as his 'skill' becomes more profound...

Hehehe.

Isn't a bright future waving?

If you were to ask what Lin Fan's goal was...

It's actually very simple, only three words: 'climb up'.

Growing up in the countryside, he had to do part-time jobs to have enough tuition and living expenses for college...

This kind of life, this kind of feeling, is definitely not good.

In the past, Lin Fan had no choice but to do it step by step, but now, the opportunity is in front of him, of course he has to do everything he can to seize it!

Not to mention anything else...

As long as you have kung fu, even opening a martial arts gym can earn a lot of money, right?

Money, indeed, doesn't represent everything, but it can represent many things.

At the same time, it can also solve many problems.

Lin Fan's ideal is that simple.

When he grows up, he wants a nice house, to marry a wife he likes, have a son and a daughter, and live happily.

But if it were a few days ago, even such a simple life would be enough to crush a person.

But now...

Change is at hand, starting from this moment!

Back home, after dinner, Lin Fan began to cultivate in a cross-legged position again.

After more than a day of cultivation, the 'qi' in his body has grown twenty times stronger, and it will wander through the Meridians all the time.

However, when Lin Fan actively cultivates, the wandering speed will be faster and the efficiency will be higher...

The next day, early morning.

Lin Fan took two mobile phones and went to the address of the construction site that Liu Dezhu shared.

While moving forward, he also took some relevant and necessary things...

For example, how to take the bus, which route to take, and which stop to get off at, etc.

"When we come back, let's take a taxi. It can also be regarded as letting her know more about modern life and things."

Thinking of this, after getting off the bus, Lin Fan directly found a taxi and started filming: "This thing is a taxi. You can reach out and stop it, and take it to where you want to go. By the way, remember to pay..."

He didn't want to go to the police station again.

He was lucky last time, but it won't be so easy to get in again.

"You're here?"

Seeing Lin Fan, Liu Dezhu smiled and pointed casually: "It's over there, go ahead, be careful not to get hurt."

"Okay!"

Looking at Liu Dezhu, who was clearly only in his forties, but looked like he was in his fifties because he ran around the construction site all day and was tanned all over, Lin Fan was also very emotional.

The bricks on this construction site are not the kind of bricks, but larger 'cement bricks'.

One piece must weigh dozens of pounds!

According to Lin Fan's experience, an average adult man with a good body can move about one hundred and fifty to two hundred pieces a day, and those with a slightly worse body can move between one hundred and one hundred and fifty pieces.

The average adult woman can move about sixty to one hundred pieces.

The price of moving this kind of brick is one yuan per piece.

In other words, an adult man with a good body, after working hard for a day, can only earn two hundred yuan...

The cement bricks in front of him were already piled up like a 'small mountain', and several workers were working hard.

Seeing Lin Fan's arrival, most of them were a little surprised.

"You young man, you're fair and clean, and you're here to move bricks?"

"Rare..."

"Are you a college student?"

"Hey, college students have to eat too."

Lin Fan was not repulsive, chatting with them, putting on gloves, and starting to move!

Because he knew this thing was very heavy, Lin Fan almost used all his strength, but... as soon as he moved it, he suddenly took a step back, holding the cement brick and staggering several times!

"Careful!"

"Are you okay?!"

Several people nearby came over and stabilized Lin Fan.

"It's nothing, I just used too much force..." Lin Fan grinned.

Originally, those few people thought Lin Fan couldn't move it, which was why he was staggering. But as soon as Lin Fan said this, they observed carefully and realized that Lin Fan was steadily holding the cement brick. How could he look like he didn't have enough strength at all?!

So... he really used too much force?

The few people shook their heads and walked aside to busy themselves.

But the scene just now still surprised them, and they couldn't help but whisper to each other...

"It's really strange, that young man doesn't look like he has much meat on him, but he's so strong?"

"Third brother, what do you think?"

The person called Third Brother pondered for a moment: "He should be stronger than me..."

Thanks to "I'm called Poor" and "Wandering and Asking the Way" and other classmates for the rewards, and thank you for your recommendations and comments. I wish you all a happy day.
