"Comrade Yang Baiyi, how do you plan to build this house?"

Since his elder brother was determined not to enter the house, Chen Baishun stopped forcing him and turned to look at Yang Baiyi.

"Uncle Chen, the main house has five rooms with two doors. One has two living rooms and a bedroom, and the other is a suite.

There are three side rooms on the east side and a kitchen connected to the corridor on the west side.

I don't want a fence for the door. I plan to ask Uncle Mu to make me a big wooden door.

Whether it's the house or the courtyard wall, I want blue bricks, not even a single adobe."

Yang Baiyi told about his plan.

"Hiss! What a big deal! Bai Yi, building so many rooms, can you and your sister live there?

Also, forget about the house, wouldn't it be fine to just use adobe for the courtyard walls? That would save a lot of money."

Chen Baiwang raised his own doubts.

Really, I just praised this guy for his skillful speech and actions, but why is he so clueless when it comes to building a house?

If you really dare to build a house like this, how much money will it cost?

"Captain, if you don't think about the future, you'll have immediate worries. When building a house, you can't just consider the present, right?

I will eventually get married and have children, right? When they grow up, they all need a place to live."

Yang Baiyi explained to Chen Baiwang.

In fact, Yang Baiyi simply felt that it would be a shame not to build a house in such a large yard, but he could afford to build one.

"Now that you mention it, it really makes sense. Okay, then, continue."

Yang Baiyi's words left Chen Baiwan with no rebuttal, so he simply stood aside and stopped talking.

"Comrade Yang Baiyi, if we build it as you say, the cost won't be too low, so you should be mentally prepared.

Our wages are fifty cents a day, and the employer doesn't have to provide meals.

You have to go to town to buy bricks and tiles, and they cost exactly what they should cost.

We can save on wood, as there's plenty of it in the mountains. We can help you pull it down, and you just have to pay for the labor."

Chen Baishun couldn't help but be astonished when he heard about Yang Baiyi's work.

He had been working as a bricklayer for nearly twenty years, but had never built the kind of house that Yang Baiyi described.

"Uncle, do you think this will work? I know nothing about building a house, so I'm going to leave it all to you.

Starting tomorrow you don’t have to work in the production team. Go to the team leader to get a note and go directly to the town to buy bricks for me.

You are a professional house builder and I think you are familiar with the brick factory. You should be able to do this more easily than me.

From tomorrow until the yard is completed, I'll pay you one dollar a day. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Yang Baiyi just wanted to spend money to save himself from worries and become a hands-off boss.

"Comrade Yang Baiyi, it doesn't have to be that much. Just give me fifty cents a day, which is more than enough for working in the production team.

Leave this matter to me, just rest assured, I will definitely build you a beautiful house."

Chen Baishun was shocked by the price Yang Baiyi offered. Workers in the county town only earned about 20 yuan a month.

Yang Bai asked for one dollar a day, which was higher than the worker's salary.

"One dollar a day, that's it. I paid for peace of mind, and you worried about me and worked for me. This money is what you deserve."

The emperor will not suffer from hungry soldiers, Yang Baiyi knows this truth.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Chen Baishun was a little unsure for a moment.

"Since Bai Yi has said so, just take it. Just work harder and don't let the wages go to waste."

Yang Baiyi has already made this decision, what else can Chen Baiwang say? Could it be that my second brother is not worth this price?

"Okay, don't worry about this. Whether the labor fee is one dollar or fifty cents, I can guarantee the quality of the house."

Chen Baishun patted his chest and agreed.

"Okay, since it's settled, we won't disturb Second Uncle from eating. Here's the candy I bought for the child. Take it and give it to him to sweeten his mouth."

"That won't do. I'm already grateful for the high salary you pay me. How can I ask for your things?"

There was another round of extreme tug-of-war, and in the end Yang Baiyi kept the candy and left Chen Baishun's house with Chen Baiwang.

"Captain, thank you for your help today."

While walking on the road, Yang Baiyi said politely.

"What's the trouble? You paid my second brother such a high salary, I can't thank you enough.

I asked my wife to stew the badger you gave me yesterday at noon, and there's still quite a bit left. How about going to my uncle's place for a drink?"

Chen Baiwang likes Yang Baiyi more and more because he is smooth-talking, experienced in doing things and generous with money.

"No, Uncle Baiwang, the Youth League compound should have cooked my meal, so it would be inappropriate not to go back.

You've been busy all day, go back and have some food and rest."

Yang Baiyi rejected Chen Baiwang's kindness, and the two separated on the road.

"Comrade Yang Baiyi, we're waiting for you to come home for dinner. We'll serve the food right away."

As soon as I entered the educated youth compound, I saw everyone enjoying the cool air in the yard.

"Comrade Yang Baiyi, what does the captain want to see you about?"

Cui Jinfa asked curiously.

"I asked the team leader to approve a piece of residential land for me, and I plan to build a few houses."

This matter would be revealed sooner or later, so Yang Baiyi simply told it directly.

"Are you going to move out? Either way, it's fine."

Zhang Chunling looked resentful.

Is he trying to avoid me? Otherwise, why would he move out when he lives here so well?

You spent so much money to build a house just to avoid me. Do I disgust you so much?

"Comrade Yang Baiyi, aren't you planning on returning to the city? Although the hope is slim, we can't give up easily!
