"I don't regret it, but you still need to explain this proof to your superiors." Li Baichuan didn't want to be traced back and the team to shirk responsibility.

"Don't worry about this. Other brigades have similar situations. I will go to the commune to get your approval in a moment. As for Ergou's house, just write a transfer certificate."

"Those are houses that were already built by the brigade. They don't need to go through the commune. They are all registered."

The captain was more worried than them. After all, after taking the money, he also had to make a living.

"That's good." Li Baichuan didn't bargain with them at all, mainly because there was nothing to bargain for at the price they wanted.

It would be better to give Jinwei some face and ask them to be more careful when repairing the house.

Li Baichuan signed and paid the money. The team leader first issued a certificate, and then without saying a word, he rode his second-hand bicycle to the commune to handle the procedures for them.

"Brother Wei, take this hundred dollars. I want to build a wall around this area and also fence off the land next to it."

"I see that the houses built here are all made of stones, so I'll follow yours, and then help us clean up the house."

"We will add more things to the house next time we come. Just find someone from the team. You can use this money first. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it next time."

"You've helped us so much. I really don't know how to thank you. Next time you go to Beijing, let me show my hospitality."

Just looking at the price of the house here, Li Baichuan also knew that it wouldn't cost much to repair the house.

Even though the place they want is not small, building the courtyard wall with stones does not cost much except for the labor cost.

But he remembered Jin Wei's kindness, as he had helped them a lot.

"You won't need that much. There are many good house builders in our team. I'll talk to them and ask them to help you build a sturdier house."

Li Baichuan didn't know the market price, but Jin Wei did. Even if the cost of materials and labor was included in the food expenses, it wouldn't cost that much.

"Then keep it for now and we'll settle the bill next time we come." Li Baichuan thought that he couldn't say that the remaining money was a tip.

But if you want others to worry about you, you always have to give them bribes. Don't involve favors when things can be solved with money.

Jin Wei didn't say anything more and thought about looking for someone in the team, as there were many older people who were willing to do the job.

People here stop going into the sea when they reach a certain age, because their legs hurt so much from being soaked in water for so long that they can't even walk.

They are all young and can earn two pounds by helping to repair the house, so there are many people willing to come.

Li Baichuan was generous with money and would definitely give him the best things.

He can just return the remaining money later, and he doesn't know how much he is going to spend now.

The man named Ergou was also a very honest person. He directly handed the key of the house to Li Baichuan and forced them to give him some fish they had never seen before.

"I'll get you a basin later. Pour some water in it and keep it there for two or three days. It won't die. You can go back and try it. It tastes very good if you steam it." Jin Wei explained to them with a smile.

Li Baichuan accepted it without hesitation, as the people here had no shortage of fish.

The team leader came back very quickly, and the commune had no reason to ask about someone wanting to build a house.

As long as their team agrees, they have no objection. There is no such thing as not being able to buy a house if you don’t have local household registration.

After all, I’m not from here. Who would come so far to buy a house?

Li Baichuan and Su Ti took the land certificate and the house ownership certificate issued by the brigade, handed the keys to Jin Wei, and left only after repeated requests.

"Wife, why are you so quiet?" Li Baichuan thought that in the past, whenever they bought a house, his wife would always be very happy, so why was she so quiet this time?

Suti was greatly shocked. Who could have imagined that in the past when every inch of land was worth a lot of money, one could now buy a house for just a few dozen dollars.

Including such a large piece of land at the back, it’s still less than two hundred coins?

Suti really wanted to buy more, but she knew she couldn't because land could not be bought and sold freely now.

Excuses were found for these. Fortunately, the homestead belonged to the brigade. If too much was bought, the brigade leader would definitely not sell it.

But Suti was very satisfied. It was a pleasant surprise for her.

"I'm happy. I'll wait for getting rich in the future." Su Ti thought about it and now he has houses in Shanghai, Beijing and Shanghai.

From now on, she can just sit back and wait for the rent even if she does nothing.

Li Baichuan just smiled and said nothing. If he wanted to make a fortune from the shabby house in the brigade, he might as well go to the port city more often.

This trip took a long time, so after finishing their business they hurried back.

It was already early morning on the third day when we got home.

"Wife, you go back and have a rest first. Lu Guoan and I will deliver the things to the warehouse." Li Baichuan first sent his wife to the entrance of the alley.

After watching her come in, he and Lu Guoan unloaded the things into the warehouse.

"Brother Chuan, you go back and rest first. I'll sleep here tonight." When they arrived at their own territory, there were several brothers guarding it, but Lu Guoan was still worried.

He looked at these things along the way, fearing that something might happen.

"Okay, we have to go to work tomorrow, so we'll sort out the goods at noon and prepare to sell them as soon as possible."

Li Baichuan thought that he had to get everyone away tomorrow and asked his wife to come and put the things away.

Some of those things are kept here, and some are shipped to Shanghai.

Li Baichuan and Su Ti were tired from the journey, so they said goodbye to their grandmother when they got home and went to sleep.

The next day, both of them were still groggy. They were really exhausted from the journey.

"I'm going to school first. I'll find time to come back at noon and help you sort out the goods." Su Ti felt that he had not slept enough, so he still struggled to get up.

She has already taken several days off and can't delay any longer. She can only spare some time and leave Baichuan alone once it gets back on track.

When she arrived at noon, Li Baichuan had already sorted out the things there as she had instructed.

"How is the shop over there being organized?" Suti thought it would be better to put up a stall to sell these clothes.

Let's use the shop to sell lipstick, perfume and other things first, and then we can sell other things once the clothes are on track.

"Almost." Li Baichuan saw that his wife had divided the clothes into batches, but did not take so many at once.

"I guess since we were away these few days, there should be a lot more people selling things on the street, so these clothes may not be as popular as they were at the beginning."

"We'll take it slow. The advantage is that the styles are different." What Suti said was right. Many stalls suddenly popped up these days.

There are people selling fabrics, shoes, and clothes, but the quantities are relatively small, and they are probably the same black market goods from before.

But finding a suitable source of goods is only a matter of time. Li Baichuan and his friends were mentally prepared and were not angry. They still arranged for their brothers to set up stalls.
