After a unanimous vote by the village committee, everyone agreed to give the land to Old Man Jin.
Old Man Jin was worried that things would get complicated if the night went on, so he told Yao Yongbo directly that he would come over to give him the money after lunch and asked Yao Yongbo to prepare the land acquisition documents in advance.
Yao Yongbo nodded quickly: "Okay, don't worry, it will be ready!"
Only then did Old Man Jin smile with satisfaction.
"Oh, right, there's something I need your help with," Old Man Jin said. "Is there any house in the village that's vacant right now? My house on the mountain is really uninhabitable, and it'll take a while to build a new one. My little one and I need to find a place to stay for a few days!"
Yao Yongbo had actually forgotten about this matter. When he heard Old Man Jin mention this, he knew that the house on the mountain could definitely not be lived in. He thought it would be just right to give the land to Old Man Jin. Even if the Song family had any objections, he would have something to say.
Yao Yongbo came back to his senses and said, "There is a place. It's vacant behind Hancheng's house. I'll give you the key. You can take Long Sheng there and stay there for a few days!"
There were originally several educated youth living in that house, but later those who were able to leave left, and the house became empty.
Old Man Jin paid such a large sum of money to the village committee, so it is only natural to give the house to Old Man Jin and his son to live in for a few days.
Old Man Jin was very satisfied when he heard this: "That's perfect!"
It is also quite close to the Ling family, so it is very convenient for them to visit each other during these days.
In fact, Old Man Jin had visited that house before. If he hadn't thought the land was a little small, he would have decided to build his new house there.
It’s really a pity.
Yao Yongbo and Old Man Jin left the village committee together.
Yao Yongbo was also going to the Zhou family's place to take a look. The heavy rain had damaged many people's houses, and some people's houses had only one or two rooms collapsed, but the Zhou family's house was the worst off.
As the village chief, he had to go and express his condolences.
Old Man Jin had nothing to do, and thinking that Ling Hancheng was there too, he simply followed them and called Ling Hancheng to go back with him.
When Old Man Jin and the others came over, they saw that all three of them were sweating profusely.
Each person had a shovel, and there was a tricycle parked nearby.
Ling Hanmin had also borrowed a tricycle from the village committee. He, Ling Hancheng and Zhou Meixiang spent the entire morning picking up things from the ruins.
After shoveling all the garbage onto the truck, all that was left were the buried grain bags, some fortunately undamaged clothing boxes, and some usable bricks.
Any bricks that still had a shape were picked up extra.
Even if you don't use it to build a house later, you can use it to build a chicken coop, pigpen or toilet.
After working hard this morning, I managed to pick up a few items.
Old man Jin didn't care how hard Zhou Meixiang and Ling Hanmin worked, but he always treated Ling Hancheng as his son. Now seeing him working so hard, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Ling Hanmin, my younger brother, is really not that good, but Ling Hancheng and Old Lady Ling are soft-hearted people after all.
Old Man Jin went over and pulled Ling Hancheng out of the rubble, frowning and saying:
"Hancheng, it's time for lunch. You've been working so hard for a while now. You're not made of iron!"
