"Bai Yi is right, it's not a life-and-death separation, it's just that we won't sleep together anymore, there's no need to be so sentimental.

Eat quickly, then take a shower."

Cui Jinfa has always been rather eccentric, and his emotions come and go quickly.

The next day, Chen Baishun did not go to work as expected. He found Yang Baiyi with a note issued by the brigade.

"Comrade Yang Baiyi, I was planning to go to town to buy bricks this morning, but I forgot to ask you for money yesterday."

Chen Baishun's face was full of smiles. Yesterday, the old ladies in the room heard that he had taken a job that paid one dollar a day, and they washed their feet and gave them massages, and they served him very well.

"Uncle Chen, I'm sorry for making you run all over again. How much do you need to buy bricks?"

"Blue bricks are one cent each. Let's start with the ones worth a hundred yuan. You can use them as you go. There's no need to buy too many at once."

Chen Baishun thought about it and said.

"That's fine. Just make the arrangements as you see fit. Here's one hundred and ten yuan. Use one hundred to buy bricks, and spend the rest in town."

Since you are doing something for me, I can't ask you to pay for the ox cart!

Uncle Chen, if it's time for dinner, we can have a bite at the state-owned restaurant in town so we don't have to go back hungry."

Yang Baiyi counted out eleven Great Unity notes and handed them to Chen Baishun.

"Okay, I'll be leaving then."

Although Chen Baishun didn't say anything, he felt warm in his heart.

Yang Baiyi paid him such a high salary and was so considerate. Chen Baishun had been a bricklayer for so many years and had never met such a boss.

In the afternoon, truckloads of bricks arrived at Chenjiatun, drawing crowds of onlookers. Yang Baiyi even went to take a look.

"Whose family is building a house? Why is it such a big deal?"

"I haven't heard of anyone's family splitting up! And it's built in such a remote place."

"Oh my god! How much does it cost to transport so many bricks? He's not even going to use a single adobe brick?"

The members of the cooperative were talking about it and were very curious about the builder. In that era, most houses in rural areas were made of adobe, and it was very rare to see blue bricks.

The brick and tile factory transport teams of that era had all kinds of vehicles, including the Liberation with wooden carriages, tractors, and even ox carts. No one knew how they put together such a ragtag team.

"Bai Yi, the bricks have been delivered, and I will lead the men to dig the foundation tomorrow.

We also need to bring people to cut down the wood and pull it down the mountain, dry it in the sun, and then do some pest control so that it can be used in time."

Chen Baishun, who was directing the unloading of the truck, saw Yang Baiyi coming and hurried forward to explain the work arrangements for tomorrow.

"Uncle Chen, just make the arrangements. By the way, how will everyone's wages be settled? Daily or monthly?"

Yang Baiyi had no relevant experience, so he decided to adapt to the local customs.

"We all get paid after we complete a piece of work."

Chen Baishun said honestly.

"Well, Uncle Chen, you need to keep a clear record of how much work everyone has contributed, and don't let anyone miss it.

We'll settle the bill together after we finish the work, but if anyone needs money urgently, please tell me and I can advance your wages."

Yang Baiyi sighed to himself that people of this era were very simple and had never experienced malicious wage arrears.

People! They are all smart because they have been cheated. The more they suffer, the smarter they become.

"Okay, don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

Chen Baishun continued to direct the unloading of the truck, and Yang Baiyi returned to the educated youth compound.

It turns out that there is no information that the intelligence center cannot find out.

Soon, the aunts and grandmothers in the village found out who was going to build the blue brick and tile house, and the educated youth compound, which had been silent for a long time, also welcomed groups of visitors.

When Yang Baiyi and the educated youth got off work, Liu Guihua was already waiting at the gate of the educated youth compound.

"Comrade Yang Baiyi, are you off work?"

Liu Guihua's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"It's time to get off work, Aunt Guihua, what can I do for you?"

Because he had dealt with Liu Guihua when he took Cui Jinfa and others to take a bath for the first time, Yang Baiyi had a deep impression of her.

"Nothing much. I heard you were going to build a house by the river, right?"

Liu Guihua asked.

"Yes, Aunt Guihua, the homestead was approved for me by the team leader. He said it was an unoccupied place with no owner. Everything is legal and compliant. If you have any questions, just tell me directly."

The first thing Yang Baiyi thought of was whether there would be any disputes over the homestead.

"Comrade Yang Baiyi, that's not what I meant. I didn't say that your building was illegal. Let me be frank. I'm here to act as a matchmaker for you."

Liu Guihua stated the purpose of this trip.

Liu Guihua couldn't help but be anxious. As far as she knew, several old sisters wanted to introduce their descendants to Yang Baiyi, and Liu Guihua wanted to take the initiative.

"Aunt Guihua, you're really quick! Comrade Yang Baiyi's house just started construction and you smelled it."

Cui Jinfa gave Liu Guihua a thumbs up.

"What are you talking about, you bastard? What do you mean by smelling something? I'm not a dog."

Liu Guihua's words caused the educated youth to burst into laughter.

"Aunt Guihua, I've been here for three years, and you haven't introduced me to anyone.

Comrade Yang Baiyi has only been here for a few days, and you're already arranging things for him. Aren't you being partial?"

Zhang Hui started to make a fuss and offer suggestions.

"Huizi, don't give me any advice. If you want to find a partner, just tell me. I have someone who is suitable."

Liu Guihua looked Zhang Hui up and down and nodded with satisfaction.

"Tell me quickly, whose daughter is this?"
