After handing the child over to Xia Xiao'e, Yu Sui rode her bicycle to Fuxiang Hutong where the new house was located.

Lin Zhixiang is here, instructing a few painters to clean up the white water that fell under the courtyard wall and finish it off.

Seeing that he was busy, Yu Sui didn't go out of her way to say hello, so she went in to see him first.

Ah, the whole small courtyard has really changed. The courtyard walls painted with white water look like brand new. The courtyard is no longer covered with moss, but has neat and clean cement floors. The floors of the three main rooms were all cracked. Now it's covered in brown paint, the water is shiny, and it looks more spacious than before.

The wing on one side has been turned into a kitchen according to Yu Sui's requirements, and the stove and everything have been built. The wing on the other side that will be converted into a study has also been paved. It will be enough to move some furniture in when the time comes.

Lin Zhixiang spotted Yu Sui, rubbed the ashes on his hands and walked over: "Comrade Yu Sui, are you back from the north? How are you? Is it okay to take a look?"

Yu Sui gave a thumbs up: "Comrade Lin, you did a good job. I think you can organize a construction team in the future to do decoration work for others."

Lin Zhixiang had never thought about this and was a little surprised: "Construction team? How is this possible? You are not allowed to be regarded as a capitalist?"

"You are just helping people solve their problems, how can you become a capitalist? You are overthinking it. You just charge some reasonable labor fees. In this case, you can be considered a craftsman at most, right?"

"That's right. If you say so, I can try my hand at being a craftsman. I built my small house myself before, and I know a little bit about decoration and construction. By the way, this is the bill. I have kept accounts of all materials and labor, please show me."

Lin Zhixiang did not dare to discuss the matter of organizing a basic construction team in depth, so he quickly handed over a list.

However, I remembered the bill clearly and in detail. Yu Sui looked at it carefully and found that labor and materials were really cheap these days. To renovate such a large yard, 500 yuan was still dozens of dollars more.

Yu Sui nodded: "I really found the right person. He was very nice and detailed. Thank you. You don't have to ask for the extra money. Please go have a meal with the craftsmen."

Lin Zhixiang was holding money in his hand. When Yu Sui said this, the craftsmen next to him laughed happily. It was not good that he made the decision by himself: "This...then I will thank you on their behalf." .”

"You're welcome. I calculated the time and came here. Is it completely done now?"

Lin Zhixiang: "Yes, it's finished. Since we agreed on the time at that time, I will help you finish it no matter what. By the way, I made an agreement with that person about the big 'red' stamp you asked for last time. Yes, he is short of money now, so he is willing to sell it, but the price is a bit high, I don’t know if you will accept it."

"How many?"

"Six hundred." After Lin Zhixiang finished speaking, he raised his hand and swore: "Hey, this is the price that person said. I didn't add a penny to it. I made an agreement with him. If he sells it, he will sell it directly to you. I'm just an introducer, I'm not involved."

"Hey, I believe you. But six hundred is really expensive." Yu Sui sighed falsely.

Six hundred means nothing to her, but it's normal to say it's expensive, so she has to pretend to be poor so as not to make people suspicious.

Lin Zhixiang very much agrees with Yu Sui’s idea of ​​being expensive:

"No! Although that stamp was to be destroyed at that time, so there were only seven or eight stamps left on the market, but the price he sold for six hundred for the eight-cent stamp... was really a bargain, at such a price, right? If you take it, it won't be easy to sell in the future, but if you like it, then you can decide for yourself. If it were me, I would definitely not have the money to buy it. I would at most find a chance to exchange it with someone else. He is on a business trip now, and he also wants half Come back only after Yue, if you think about it, come back to me and I will take you there."

Yu Sui: "Okay. But even if I have thought about it, for this price... I still have to find a way to raise money. It will take at least half a month to prepare."

"Speaking of this, the money you borrowed from me last time... Comrade Yu Sui, if you want to buy it next month, I won't be able to pay you back all of it for the time being." Lin Zhixiang felt very embarrassed when he said this, and his face turned red. .

Yu Sui's thoughts changed and she immediately pretended to be unhappy: "Ah? That's it. How much can you pay me back?"

Lin Zhixiang looked at Yu Sui's face. Not only did his face turn red, but his neck turned red: "...I'm sorry, I can only pay you back 100 yuan first."

Yu Sui frowned and thought for a while, then said fiercely: "Then it's agreed. You, you have been busy decorating the house for more than two months. I borrowed three hundred yuan from you. After deducting it, I will pay you 100 yuan a month. The supervision fee, the remaining 100 yuan, you must pay me back next month, you must pay me back!"

Lin Zhixiang was confused and blinked for a long time before he grasped the key point: "What? You give me 100 yuan a month? No...you, didn't you ask me for help? How can you give me money?"

Yu Sui suppressed her smile: "How can I find free supervision for two months if I ask for help? I'll definitely have to pay you!"

"...No, you lent me money, so I helped... This is the favor I should repay you, no, no, no, this won't do! I was already very grateful that you lent me money at that time, how could I take it I can't pay your salary! Comrade Yu Sui, don't worry, I will pay you back one hundred next month, and I will pay you another two hundred by the middle of next year at the latest. I'm leaving. Oh, by the way, I'm behind that bill My new address, if you decide to buy stamps, just find me at the address above."

Lin Zhixiang was frightened and ran away.

People in this era are still relatively simple.

Well, in fact, Yu Sui just wanted to try to see if this person has a good character in addition to his work ability. Now it seems that he is relatively reliable.

Then she found the right person.

Yu Sui quickly called him out: "Comrade Lin, don't leave yet. In this case, I'm the one who will feel sorry for you. Let's do this, I'll give you a job!"

"Huh? You, give me a job?"

"Yes. Do you want it?"

"Of course I want it, but it's too much. What kind of job?"

"As I just said, form an engineering team and start taking jobs to make money."

"Ah...is this okay? Is it allowed?" Lin Zhixiang was still a little scared.

Yu Sui waved her hand: "What is this and that? I am organizing the engineering team now, not you. And as long as you help me, I will deduct 50 yuan from your salary every month. In this case, 300 yuan, you How about helping me for six months?"

Lin Zhixiang paused at the door, scratched his head, wiped his nose, and hesitated for a while.

Yu Sui looked at it funny. She was really timid to death from starvation and brave to death from exhaustion. If she hadn't been a time traveler, she might not have dared to do this, but she was so lucky.

Yu Sui: "This is a serious job. If you don't do it, I will find someone else. But you must pay back the 300 yuan next month."
