Chapter 636 Brother Wolf (2/2)
Soon, an address was sent to his phone. Sophie told him that Wolfgang was currently working at a construction site. He could go there to find him directly.
Li Du hurriedly drove over. As the terrain of the construction site was complex and hard to traverse, he drove a pickup truck with a high chassis.
Even though the global economy was in a downturn, the real estate market was booming. When Li Du called his parents, he often heard them talk about how the prices of the houses back home were constantly changing, which was, in fact, the same in America as well.
The real estate market in America was polarized. In livable cities, various real estate developers were wantonly selling houses. On the other hand, the real estate market in regions such as the north and southwest, which were not pleasant to live in, was stagnant as there were not many people buying houses.
Even though Flagstaff was located in the southwest, it was a livable city. As such, most of the surrounding areas were building houses to be sold.
Li Du drove into the construction site amid the loud noise of the machines. Although Sophie had given him Wolfgang's phone number, no one picked up when he tried calling.
Despite that, it was understandable, looking at the messy and noisy environment of the construction site. No one would be able to answer their phones unless they strapped them onto their ears.
Once he reached the construction site, searching for Wolfgang was easy. He bet that there was only one German in the whole construction site who had brought their child to work.
Li Du went down and asked a random worker, ”I would like to inquire about a person…”
”I'm very busy. Go ask someone else,” an African American youngster said impatiently.
Li Du took out 20 dollars. ”Here's a tip.”
After taking the money, the youngster's attitude immediately changed. He asked graciously, ”Who are you looking for?”
”A German called Wolfgang Muller, brings along his daughter…”
Before Li Du finished speaking, the youngster returned the money and said, ”You're looking for Brother Wolf? I'll take you over to him now.”
”Brother Wolf?” Li Du replied with a question.
The youngster forced a smile. ”Yes, Wolfgang. We all call him Brother Wolf. Are you a friend of Brother Wolf's? Sorry my attitude earlier wasn't very nice.”
Li Du let out a playful smile. This German Brother Wolf is more amazing than I had anticipated.
Nonetheless, this nickname was rather fitting as, ”Wo Er Fu” was the pronunciation for wolf, while ”gang” sounded like a suffix in German, which could be nicknamed in a personal way as ”brother.”
At the center of the construction site was a dump truck depositing cement. Beside it was a brick field with countless stacks of red bricks and more than a dozen workers who were busy dragging the bricks away.
It was the work Brother Wolf, Wolfgang, was doing, which was also commonly known as a ”loser's job.”
Brother Wolf was very capable. He wore denim cowboy attire, and had dirt and brick dust all over his hair and clothes. As he was perspiring profusely, sweat dripped down along his cheeks and mixed with the dust, causing him to look like a male Chinese opera actor.
He did not have time to wipe the dust away since he was busy working. His big and tall body was bending up and down in front of the stacks of bricks. With a pair of arms that looked like huge iron pincers, he was able to hold and carry six bricks at a time to the cart.
Once the cart was full, he pulled it away.
Although the terrain of the construction site was complex, it was not comparable to a mountain forest. He was able to easily traverse a mountain forest as if it were level ground. So trotting along while pulling the cart here, he looked outstanding.
Despite that, he was not focused when working and would, from time to time, look towards a corner at the side of the brick field.
In the corner was a tent where the little girl, who was wearing a black veil, sat alone. The little girl and the Barbie doll she was carrying were also dirty from being covered with dust.
