The mayor asked Accountant Li to take out the agreement and went to the judicial office together. After the notarization, the uncle and nephew came back and drove the man away.

Xie Lin told the two families to quickly move their belongings out, otherwise, they would break the locks and open the door and throw the things out. Zhou Xiang followed his cousin and acted like a "bully", waving the agreement in his hand.

When the person who wanted to rent the house saw that it was Zhou who wanted the house, he didn't play tricks and said that he would move out the next day and go look for a house in the afternoon.

Zhou Xiang put away the agreement and called Ma Gua. Ma Gua was so angry that he spent more than a thousand yuan to buy a mobile phone.

When he heard there was work to do, he responded very straightforwardly, "I'll go in the afternoon. It's just right for me to finish your work and then repair the road to the elementary school right away."

After arranging the work, Zhou wanted to go home and get some money and give it to Accountant Wang to record it in the account, of course, it was recorded in the food station's account.

Zhou's mother came back from a stroll and met Zhou Xiang coming out of the office. When Zhou Xiang saw his mother, he pulled her home and said goodbye to his cousin with a smile.

Zhou's mother asked her what bad thing she had done again?

She shook her head. "No, I just bought that row of single dormitories. They're so run down inside they're about to collapse. Master Ma Gua will be here to repair them this afternoon."

"Why did you buy that lousy house? It's just a long row of them. You can't build anything if you tear it down."

"I didn't say demolition! I was clearly talking about repairs. Ling Ran called ten teammates to do security. It's not suitable for them to live in the house, so he asked me to tell you to go to town and ask. When I came back and saw my cousin, I helped him generate income!"

"How much?"

"10 yuan a month, unchanged for 50 years."

Then, Zhou wanted to tell her mother about her cousin's algorithm. Her mother nodded and said, "Why are you teasing him? His hair has turned white with worry."

"Humph! Even if he gets it, it will just be a living allowance for those people. If he can get it himself, I will definitely not let him down."

Zhou's mother said no more. The food station was responsible for its own profits and losses, which actually meant that Xie Lin had to support those people. If it weren't for the little girl coming home to make trouble, those people wouldn't have received a penny of living expenses in the past six months. They were even unwilling to come to the river to work, thinking they were superior!

When Zhou's mother got home, she went to the kitchen to help. Her husband couldn't handle cooking for more than a dozen people alone.

At noon, Ling Ran brought his men back for lunch, and left one person on each side of the river to guard the materials.

There are only three people including the installer and the driver. Comrade Xiangqian is so frugal in saving manpower. Is it because he saw many people working in the river before?

Naturally, there is a round table for entertaining guests, and everyone can sit at it.

However, serving double portions of food requires a lot of effort and you have to eat more meat dishes.

Fortunately, the dishes were prepared for two tables. If we hadn’t left any food for those two people, they would probably have eaten it all.

Ling Ran looked at his teammates who were like bandits coming down the mountain, and really wanted to kick them out.

Father Zhou smiled happily, "Great! If you can eat well, I'll prepare some more tonight. You guys put in a lot of effort, so you should eat more."

Ling Ran stopped glaring at people.

When the two men came back to eat and saw that there was nothing left except the dishes that were left by the confiscated food, they knew they were going to be scolded.

Sure enough, when they finished eating and went back to work, they were scolded by the boss together.

"How long have you not eaten? You act like a bandit."

One person said aggrievedly: "Boss, it's really not our fault. Not to mention that we put in a lot of effort, it's just that Uncle Zhou's cooking smelled so good that we couldn't help it!"

"Yes, yes, Uncle Zhou's cooking tastes like home and is delicious!"

Ling Ran thought of the 'seasoning water' that the little girl had prepared for Uncle Zhou, and stopped scolding him.

"Okay, wait a few days, and then you can start a fire yourself when you move out."

"ah?"

"Ah what? Is my father-in-law your babysitter?"

Everyone shut up.

Ling Ran waved his hand, "Get to work! Considering how much you ate at lunch today, the food will definitely increase later. Uncle Zhou is worried that the guests won't be full."

When everyone heard that they could still work hard at night, they immediately started working.

Ma Gua followed Zhou Xiang to inspect the single dormitory and nodded, saying, "Sure, it will be repaired in a few days, but some of the beams are in bad condition. They've been eaten by insects."

Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Replace it, replace it with a new one. You need to tear down all the roofs, replace all the beams and purlins, buy new tiles and replace them. Don't use the old ones.

They took advantage of the situation and raised the house, using a mix of broken bricks and tiles and concrete to raise the ground. They scraped the imitation porcelain paint off the walls and replaced the doors with ball locks.

"Okay! I'll go prepare the ingredients right away."

Ling Ran had more people working on the project, so he went to Guan Bo and asked him if the iron fence was finished. If it was finished, he would go and install it.

Guan Bo has been waiting for several days. If it hadn't rained, he would have gone to install it long ago.

Now Ling Ran came to urge him, so he took his brothers and the materials to the family compound.

When he saw the river, no, the lake, he couldn't believe his eyes. The broken river turned into a beautiful lake?

Ling Ran asked to start the installation from Houwang Village, and to dismantle the temporary wall while installing.

Guan Bo felt that this affected his speed, so he went to Houwang Village and hired two people to help him dismantle the wall, paying each of them five yuan.

The two villagers from Houwang Village who were called over were here to watch the fun. The wheat in the field had been harvested, and the next crop would have to wait before being planted.

Since they could make money just by watching the fun, they were naturally happy to do so. One person took the bricks apart while the other carried them. The wall was built with yellow mud, so it was not difficult to take them apart.

The faster the dismantling, the slower the assembly. Ling Ran called two teammates to help Guan Bo, as this also required a lot of strength.

Especially driving expansion screws into the cement ground of the river embankment is time-consuming.

Guan Bo marked the location of the expansion screws, one teammate held the pneumatic drill to drill the holes, and the other teammate followed Ling Ran to hold the iron column head to tighten the screws.

Guan Bo's two brothers pulled the iron net. With clear division of labor and good cooperation, the speed was increased.
