Meanwhile, Lin Yi finished planning the house, and when he came out, he saw the village chief talking to a group of villagers.
"Xiao Lin, are you done?"
"I didn't bother you because you were working so attentively."
"Village chief, is there any urgency?"
Lin Yi heard because another group of villagers was with the village chief.
"It's not a big emergency. You said you needed to gather more people to clear the land."
"I gathered a few people."
"Really! Thank you, village chief."
Lin Yi looked at the village chief gratefully and welcomed the others who had arrived.
"I only called 5 people because it doesn't need that many people to clear the land."
"If Xiao Lin wants, I can bring a few more people."
"No, village chief. These people are more than enough."
Then the village chief introduced the people who had come to Lin Yi.
"I think the village chief might have said that. You don't have to worry about food or daily wages until the land is finished."
"If you do the clearing work properly, I also need your help with building my house."
The next morning, Lin Yi went to the land with the villagers the village chief had introduced the day before and started clearing the land.
First, they roughly cut down the weeds and unwanted trees that had grown in places, and then they removed the large and small stones that were scattered around the land to one corner.
It didn't take them long to finish this. After a while, they started working again.
Next, they cleared the entire land. When Lin Yi cut down the trees, he didn't cut down every tree on the land.
He made sure to leave the fruit trees and other valuable trees on the land untouched.
However, they were able to clear the land within a day.
After the work was done, everyone who came to help was given an envelope with 1,000 yuan in it.
When they opened the envelope, some were surprised because they had never expected so much money for a day's work.
Not only that, but while they were clearing the land, Lin Yi received a call from the government land registry office in the town in the evening.
"Hello, is this Mr. Lin speaking?"
"Hello, it's me, Lin Yi speaking. Who is this?"
"Hello, Mr. Lin, this is from the land registry office."
"The deed of the land that Mr. Lin bought has been prepared. Mr. Lin can come to our office to collect the deed."
"Oh, really! The deed was prepared faster than I thought."
"But I don't have to come today. I can come to the office tomorrow morning."
"That's okay. Our office is usually open from 8 am to 5 pm. So Mr. Lin can come and collect the deed whenever you can."
"Thank you. I'll come to the office tomorrow morning then."
"You are welcome. Then Mr. Lin, see you tomorrow morning."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye."
The next morning, Lin Yi woke up with a lot of work to do. Before Lin Yi went to the town's land registry office to get the land deed, he decided to go back to the land because he wanted to check the condition of the cave again and make sure there were no flaws in the house plan he had drawn up and the materials he was going to use to build the house.
Lin Yi wanted to start building the house quickly because he had cleared the entire land yesterday. Since it would take hours to get to the other town from Peach Blossom Village, he thought he would buy the materials he needed to build the house while he was on his way to get the land deed.
Lin Yi went to the land, checked it again, ate breakfast prepared by the village chief's wife, and rode his electric tricycle back to the town.
He first went to the land registry office. The deed had been prepared, so he was able to get it as soon as he went.
Then Lin Yi went to see the materials needed to build a new house. When he came to town last time, Lin Yi had looked at the relevant shops, so he was able to go directly to those shops.
"Hello sir, I don't know what you want to see."
As Lin Yi went to the shop, a worker working in the shop approached Lin Yi and asked.
"Hello, can I see the building materials that are needed to build a house?"
"Yes, of course."
"Sir, come this way. I'll show you samples."
"Ok, thank you."
The shopkeeper took Lin Yi to a section of the shop where samples of building materials were neatly arranged.
When he got there, Lin Yi was surprised because he never expected to see samples of building materials arranged in such a neat way in a town like this.
The building materials sample shop had samples of every material needed to build a house, and each of them was categorized separately so that anyone who came there could easily find what they needed and compare those that had the same purpose.
For example, there were bricks made of clay and bricks made of concrete. Not only that, there were bricks of different sizes of both types so that anyone who came there could easily choose the one they wanted. Not only bricks, but also tiles, paints, and everything else needed to build a house were there.
Lin Yi had a clear idea of what kind of house he was going to build, so it didn't take him long to choose the things he needed. After choosing the building materials he needed, he didn't forget to talk to the shop assistant and reduce the prices. Since Lin Yi had placed a large order at once, the shop staff did not hesitate to give him a discount. Not only that, they promised to deliver all the building materials Lin Yi ordered to Peach Blossom Village free of charge.
By the time he finished his work, it was already noon.
"Grrrrrr..."
Lin Yi's stomach started to growl, as if reminding him that he hadn't eaten lunch yet.
Lin Yi went to a noodle shop on the side of the road near the hardware store, intending to eat noodles for lunch.
