Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Thank you for your understanding, Village Chief."
Wang Dashan took another puff of his cigarette and said, "Building two mud-walled huts will cost about fifteen yuan per hut, thirty yuan for both, including materials and labor. Add two heated brick beds, eight yuan each, for a total of sixteen yuan. That's forty-six yuan in total. If three people work on this, it will take about half a month to finish. But I can only arrange people for you after the busy farm work is over."
Lin Qian nodded in agreement: "Okay, village chief, I understand. Thank you for your help."
Wang Dashan said, "After the house is repaired, it needs to be dried for a few days before people can live in it. You have to remember that."
Lin Qian replied, "I understand, village chief."
After Lin Qian finished discussing the house repair with the village chief, she took out seventy yuan from her pocket, handed it to the village chief, and said, "Uncle Wang, here is seventy yuan. Please help me arrange the house repair."
The village chief took the money and said with a smile, "Calling me village chief is too formal. Just call me Uncle Wang. Don't worry, girl, I'll definitely take care of this for you."
Lin Qian said gratefully, "Then thank you very much, Uncle Wang."
Lin Qian thought for a moment and said, "Village chief, could we find a few more people? That way the construction period can be faster."
Wang Dashan flicked his cigarette ash and said, "Girl, that's a good idea, but everyone's busy with farm work right now. I can only arrange for someone to repair your house after we're done with this busy period. Once the house is repaired, it can be dried for a few more days before you can move in."
Lin Qian nodded in understanding: "Okay, village chief, I'll wait for your news. Thank you for your help."
Wang Dashan said, "Okay, it's settled then. Once we're done with the farm work, I'll help you build up your house."
