"What? How come I haven't heard about this? Where did you find out?" Mr. Gu paused with his hand mid-air and absentmindedly chewed on his cornbread, looking hopefully at Gu Chengyi, hoping what he said wasn't true.
"A few days ago, when I went to town to carry some bags, Manager Zhou mentioned it. I guess the official document has already reached the town. It's just a matter of days."
Mr. Gu put down his bowl and chopsticks, losing his appetite. Those eating at the table also put down their chopsticks and listened attentively.
"Is the information reliable? What kind of labor is required this time?" Mr. Gu sighed and continued asking.
"Manager Zhou has wide connections, he wouldn't be wrong. I heard they need to go to the Prefecture to build a dam for Jingyuan River."
