Liu Haizhong looked down on the back house, so he was not jealous of Zhang Jialiang's family getting a house. Instead, he felt that living in the back house was a shameful thing, especially for the eldest son.

Liu Haizhong was not jealous, and neither was Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu had the best house in the courtyard, the main house in the middle courtyard, plus an ear room where his sister Yu Shui lived. In terms of houses, he was the richest in the courtyard. It was just a back house, which Sha Zhu didn't even look down on.

The same goes for Xu Damao. Although his house is slightly worse than Sha Zhu's, it is also the west wing in the backyard where he lives alone. There is plenty of space, and he can live there even if he gets married and starts a family in the future.

However, he still recognized Zhang Jialiang's ability to get a house.

"Zhang Jialiang has become quite clever recently, and has acquired many skills."

Through a series of events in recent times, he suddenly realized that Zhang Jialiang had never suffered any loss, which was different from before.

In the past, although Zhang Jialiang was a little smarter than Shazhu, he was not much better. He just idled around, drank and fought all day long. He was a fool and was not as smart as he is now.

Oh shit!

Once covered with fur, he is more clever than a monkey!

Thinking of his Fenjiu and Mudan cigarettes, he cursed inwardly to vent his anger.

Zhang Jialiang didn't pay attention to what other families said about their family's house division. He also knew that there would definitely be people in the compound who would talk about their family's house division and some who would be jealous, but he didn't care. It was normal.

He came to Old Sun's house early in the morning to confirm the matter of repairing the house.

"Uncle Sun, I have already discussed this with my family, and we will do as we say. When do you think it is appropriate to start?"

"Then let's do it tomorrow. I'll find someone to go with me tomorrow and prepare the necessary materials."

Old Sun agreed immediately, but the earliest he could start would be tomorrow, so he would prepare the materials for repairing the house today.

However, he suddenly remembered what Secretary Qian told him yesterday, that Zhang Jialiang had a good relationship with Director Zhao and Secretary Qian in the street, and they were very close. So he told Zhang Jialiang a piece of news.

"Liangzi, actually, if you want to pave the ground, it would be good to use the bricks from the old city wall. If you don't mind the trouble and effort, go to the foot of the old city wall and get some old city wall bricks.

The old city wall bricks are durable and can also prevent moisture and keep heat. They can be used on the ground for decades without any problems.”

When Zhang Jialiang heard Old Sun suddenly mention the old city wall bricks, he suddenly realized how he had forgotten about this. It would be a good choice to use the old city wall bricks for paving the floor.

Going to the old city to find some old city wall bricks would save money and have good effects. He had no experience, so fortunately Old Sun reminded him.

"How could I have forgotten this? Thank you, Uncle Liu, for reminding me. I'll go find some old city wall bricks and use them to pave the floor. I think they're great. I like them very much. But are they easy to find now?"

“Well, the old city walls have been demolished over the years, and people have taken what they can and demolished what they can, so there really isn’t much left.

But you won’t need much of the ones you use for paving the floor of your home, and you can still find them if you look for them.

I remember there are still some on the south wall. I saw them a while ago. If not, you can try your luck there. It’s just…”

Old Sun told Zhang Jialiang a location. Zhang Jialiang was not unfamiliar with that place. He had been there many times when he was strolling around the street.

But then he thought of another problem. Since he had decided to look for old city wall bricks, even if he found them, how to transport them back would still be a problem.

Although he had storage space, it could not be exposed to other people. He also needed to find a means of transportation. He looked at Old Sun.

"Uncle Sun, do you have a truck to transport things? I'll find some bricks from the old city wall and bring them back. If you have one, I'd like to ask you to lend it to me for a few days."

Since Old Sun is doing this kind of work, he should have transportation tools to transport materials for repairing the house.

"I have a tricycle, so shouldn't I go to your house to work tomorrow?

"When we get the stuff over, I'll lend you the tricycle while we're working. When we get off work, I'll ride it home. This way, you can use it during the few days it takes to repair the house, and it won't interfere with anything."

Since he had to save face for Director Zhao and Secretary Qian and establish a good relationship with Zhang Jialiang, he might as well be a good person and lend him the tricycle for two days. Old Sun agreed readily.

"Okay, thank you so much, Uncle Sun!

Then could you please calculate how much it is?

I'll pay a deposit now, and I'll have to spend money to buy materials and stuff."

"Since I don't have to buy tiles for the floor, I can save about 8 yuan, so the total cost is about 60 yuan."

"Okay, I'll give you 40 yuan first, and I'll pay you after the work is done."

After the discussion, Zhang Jialiang said goodbye to Old Sun, went out of the city, and entered the hunting space.

Today he planned to try making tea, and after inspecting the hunting traps and fish cages, he quickly came to the location of the tea trees.

Looking at these Maojian tea trees, Zhang Jialiang's heart is filled with excitement, as these tea trees are all treasures.

It is estimated that more than 20 kilograms of tea can be produced each season. According to the current price of Xinyang Maojian tea, one kilogram costs at least 10 yuan, so more than 200 yuan can be earned this season.

There are three seasons of tea in a year. Spring tea has the highest price, autumn tea is the second most expensive, and summer tea is the lowest. It is estimated that his annual harvest from this piece of tea trees should be around 700 to 800 yuan.

This is more than an ordinary worker's annual salary. Although it is only money and does not include bills or something, it is still a considerable income when converted into money.

So now look at this field of tea trees, they are not just tea trees, they are simply money trees!

Zhang Jialiang carefully picked about one kilogram of tea buds and leaves, and then placed them on the bamboo mat that had been prepared in the storage space. These needed to be spread out for a while before they could be withered.

Then he went back to looking for prey and hunting normally.

After a busy day, when he returned to the courtyard, he heard that Liu Haizhong's son Liu Guangqi had returned.

Liu Guangqi has already been hired as a technician in a machine tool factory. His standard salary during the internship period was 27 yuan. Now that his internship is over, he is being paid the salary of an eighth-level clerk: 5 yuan, 33 cents more than Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

As soon as he graduated, Liu Guangqi easily surpassed Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, two people who had been working for many years, and they were also on the cadre list.

The corners of his mouth inside his bangs were raised to the sky, and when he talked to people, he would hold his chin high.
