Tongluo County is on the edge of Shangjing, but very close to Hongxing Village, and it takes about twenty minutes to get there. First, they went to handle the transfer of the house title deed. Then, Yan Rushan led people to the bank to withdraw one thousand yuan, and handed it to Village Chief Wang in person in front of the bank teller.
Holding a thick stack of money, the village cadres of Hongxing Village were all grinning from ear to ear, their teeth showing.
An unwanted house that has been abandoned for many years can still be exchanged for a thousand yuan; taking this money back, whether it is distributed among each family or used to benefit the village, is a good thing.
"The money and goods have been paid." Yan Rushan said.
Village Chief Wang nodded and said, "You are right, the money and goods have been paid." The money was taken out of the bank and given to Village Chief Wang on the spot. There was no question of missing money.
Yan Rushan said, "Let's go. I'll take you back."
"No need, no need. We can just walk back. It will only take about 40 minutes, less than an hour." Village chief Wang shook his head. He just came here for the sake of convenience, so he didn't feel comfortable asking someone to send him back.
"Don't be polite. I have to discuss this with you when I get back to the village. The house is in Hongxing Village. We need to find people to do the renovations. Instead of hiring people from outside, it's better to find people nearby to do the work." After a pause, Yan Rushan continued, "Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you."
"Of course! I'd love to. Thank you, Comrade Yan, for thinking of our Hongxing Village. Don't worry, the villagers will definitely welcome you if you come to live in Hongxing Village." The house has been sold, how can they not welcome you!
Yan Rushan didn't take these words to heart, "Let's go."
"Okay, okay." Village chief Wang led the village cadres out of the bank and got into the car driven by Yan Rushan and left.
Back in the village, Village Chief Wang and the accountant enthusiastically escorted them to their home. Yan Rushan didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point. "The house is large, with many rooms, so we'll probably need a dozen people to do the initial cleanup. As for the renovations, I'll hire someone from Shangjing to do it, so you don't have to worry about that. The people who clean the house must be diligent and honest, and no one can slack off."
"The wooden furniture in the yard can be moved away by villagers if they like it. In short, the yard must be clean, there must be no garbage on the ground, no dust in the house, and all the white paper on the windows must be cleared away."
"If you can do it, give me a deadline. If you can't, I can find someone else. As for the wages, it's five dollars a day." We have invested a lot of money, and if they can't do the job, we will quickly replace them.
"Five dollars a day?" My goodness, this guy is not a rich man, he is a sucker.
Ten people earn five dollars a day, and if they work hard, it will probably take three days to finish the work. In other words, the people who work will earn fifteen dollars in three days, and ten people will earn one hundred and fifty dollars.
"The price is this price. I hope the price I give is worthy of the value of the labor."
Village Chief Wang patted his chest excitedly, "Comrade Yan, don't worry. There are more than a dozen families in our village. Each family will send one person. Don't worry, I will choose the most diligent one. I will definitely not let anyone cheat or act slyly."
"Then I'll have to trouble Village Chief Wang to help supervise. The house must not be damaged. Any remaining furniture inside can be moved out. However, it's best not to let anyone with dirty hands and feet into the yard."
"No problem, don't worry, I'll supervise it myself. No unauthorized personnel are allowed into the yard." Village Chief Wang understood his conditions. After all, where could one earn so much on just five yuan a day? If his son contributed one, that would be fifteen yuan in three days.
There are indeed some dishonest people in the village who damage other people's houses and are unable to compensate them.
Yan Rushan smiled with satisfaction, "How many days will it take to clean it up?"
"Three days, four days at most."
"Okay, I'll give you 100 yuan first, and you'll be paid daily. If anyone doesn't work seriously, Village Chief Wang can replace them at any time." Yan Rushan said as he sat down. Before leaving, he took out 100 yuan from the car and gave it to Village Chief Wang. Each bill was 10 yuan, and Village Chief Wang could pay people their daily wages by simply going through the different ways.
This is two days' wages, and he will come in person on the third day.
After driving out of Hongxing Village, Yan Rushan drove all the way to the Medical Research Institute and stopped for a while. His wife must be at work, and it would not be appropriate for him to go look for her at this time; moreover, he also had to go and see the 60 acres of land allocated from above, which was right next to the Medical Research Institute. The car was parked in the area marked on the land deed.
It is only a few minutes away from the Medical Research Institute. The land given to us is a large piece of wasteland. After reclaiming the land, we built houses on ten acres of land, built a large yard, and built a high wall around the edge.
Bullfrogs are noisy, especially at night, so they cannot be raised here; the site he acquired before is very suitable, although it is a bit far from this land.
The courtyard should be large, the environment should be good, and there should be a piece of land reserved for growing vegetables and raising chickens and ducks; if grandpa has something to do, he probably won't be so bored.
After a long wait, Yan Rushan finally drove off. Back at Chengli, he immediately set out to find someone to renovate and build the house. Once the deal was finalized, he rushed back to work. However, he'd wasted half a day there. He sat back at the company for a while, gave some briefings, and then headed home again.
When Mr. Yan saw him, he asked, "Why are you back so late?"
"I went to Zhongguancun to look at the land allocated to Yuxiu, made plans, and hired renovation and construction teams. I came back only after the deal was finalized. By the way, I bought a yard in Hongxing Village next to Zhongguancun. I'll renovate it first, and you and the child's nanny can move there."
"Yuxiu is over there, the environment is quiet, and life in the village is simple. When you get there, you can go out for a walk and see the scenery of the fields." Don't stay at home all day long, with nothing else to do except talking with your comrades. Don't get sick from being idle too much.
Yan Guofeng gave him a look of disdain. "What are you doing there? Yuxiu is busy with work all day long. The nanny and I took the child there. You're home alone? What about food and drink? Who's going to clean the house?"
"Isn't this a dog egg?"
Goudan has been out of the game for so long that Yan Guofeng almost forgot there was such a capable robot.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Goudan is indeed capable and his cooking is delicious. Okay, after the house in Hongxing Village is renovated, my little great-grandson and I will move there, and you can stay at home and take care of it by yourself." He seemed to be not wanting his grandson anytime soon.
Yan Rushan was used to it and didn't care that his grandfather would occasionally dislike him and Xiaohai's behavior.
"It will be repaired in half a month at most. If you want to invite friends over, that's fine. The yard is large, a small quadrangle courtyard with two entrances. It used to be the home of a wealthy landlord."
"That's great, I see. Let Comrade Wang and the others serve the food. Let's eat first. After eating, do you still want to go back to the company?"
"I have to go. I've been running around outside for half a day. I'll go to the company in the afternoon to deal with things." There are too many things piled up, and I have no sense of time when I'm busy. Although I can push them to my brothers, they are also very busy. It's better for me to handle what I can do myself.
