How would you explain this sentence ‘Building and road repairs’?
But today he launched a second interrogation, even more blunt. Beginning with: “Your name is Shepherd, and you’re a foreigner. Is that right?”
“Only one-half foreign, sir. Mexican mother, gringo father.”
“He lives in the United States? Doing what?”
“Keeping track of money in a government office. Building and road repairs.”
“I see. And are you trustworthy?”
How would you explain this sentence ‘Building and road repairs’?
Does it mean the government office in the previous sentence is in charge of Building and road repairs?
Thanks!

Hi Gordon,
I believe it refers to to the "foreigners" father. He works with buildings and road repairs as his occupation.
Hope that's useful
