The Courtyard House: The story begins with He Yuzhu beating up the White Widow.

Tian Jiawang replied with a smile, "Alright! Then hurry back and be careful on the road!"

"Yes!" He Yuzhu responded, and with the help of the villagers, put the goods he had traded into the sidecar of the tricycle. He Yuzhu then rode the tricycle away from the village.

After He Yuzhu rode his tricycle away, Tian Shuilai walked up to Tian Jiawang and said, "This young He is quite good. Unlike the other purchasing agents. It would be great if he could come more often."

Tian Jiawang chimed in, "That's what I think too. When he arrives in a bit, we'll have a good talk with him."

"Alright!" Tian Shuilai nodded in agreement. Just then, the villagers' shouts reached Tian Shuilai and Tian Jiawang's ears: "The boat is back! The boat is back!"

Tian Jiawang and Tian Shuilai immediately ran to the dock. About ten minutes later, the boats began to dock one after another. Tian Jiawang and Tian Shuilai jumped aboard, and Tian Jiawang asked, "Old Nian, how was the harvest this time?!"

Tian Laonian replied listlessly, "Village Chief, Party Secretary! This harvest is quite good; all our boats are full. However, in this weather, the goods won't keep. Let's get rid of them as soon as possible!"

Tian Jiawang said, "A purchasing agent from Beijing came to the village today. He bought everything. And the prices were very reasonable."

Tian Shuilai asked, "Old Nian, how many fish did you get this time?!"

Tian Laonian replied, "Our three boats together carry about forty tons of cargo." Then, a regretful expression appeared on his face as he said, "If our large ship that was sent for repairs were still here, the harvest would have been even greater!"

Tian Shuilai said, "Let's stop talking! Let's unload and weigh the goods first. Once the others arrive, they can help load the truck."

He Yuzhu rode his tricycle out of the village, found a secluded spot, and stored the dried goods he had purchased into his spatial storage. Then, he took out more than a dozen bags of coarse grains and several cartons of economy brand cigarettes, put them in the sidecar of the tricycle, and rode it back to the village.

A little after 1:30 PM, He Yuzhu rode his tricycle into the village again. Tian Jiawang, who was waiting at the village committee entrance, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing He Yuzhu return. He Yuzhu stopped his motorcycle, picked up a net bag containing cigarettes, and handed it to Tian Jiawang, saying, "Uncle Village Chief, please have someone unload the grain from the truck. The road into our village is too narrow for trucks. Later, I'll need your help to move the fish to the main road at the village entrance. Don't bother with the rest."

Tian Jiawang said, "That's easy to discuss!" Then, looking at the net in his hand, he asked, "Zhuzi, what do you mean by this?!"

He Yuzhu said, "It's nothing! It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't mind the quality of the food. I'll come often in the future."

Upon hearing He Yuzhu say he would come often in the future, Tian Jiawang's smile widened even more. About half an hour later, Tian Shuilai and the village accountant, Tian Yonglin, approached Tian Jiawang and He Yuzhu. Tian Yonglin said, "The various seafood items total 74,000 jin."

Tian Jiawang continued, "Zhuzi, we've discussed it, and we've decided not to categorize them. We'll sell the mixed goods for 4 cents a pound, what do you think?!"

何雨柱说道：「你们也是赚辛苦钱。也别4分了，好算一点，就按照5分钱一斤算。七万四千斤也就是三千七百块钱。我带来了五百斤细粮和两千斤粗粮。细粮五百斤是89块。两千斤粗粮是204块。加在一起是293块钱，凑个整就算是290块钱。还剩下3410块。你们是全部要钱呢？！还是钱和票都要？！」

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Tian Jiawang, Tian Shuilai, and Tian Yonglin looked at each other. Then they went to the side and whispered among themselves. After a while, Tian Shuilai walked up to He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, you don't treat us like outsiders, so we won't treat you like an outsider either. Give us three thousand yuan, and we'll exchange the rest for tickets, okay?!"

"No problem!" He Yuzhu readily agreed, then added, "Uncle Secretary, wouldn't it be inconvenient to discuss this further outside?"

Tian Jiawang laughed and chimed in, "Oh?! We've been so busy talking that we've been neglecting our business. Come on! Let's go inside and talk!"

Upon entering the village committee, He Yuzhu opened his satchel and took out three stacks of money, followed by a stack of coupons, saying, "The remaining money will be 100 jin of national grain coupons, 5 jin of sugar coupons, 20 industrial vouchers, and one radio coupon. What do you think?!"

Tian Jiawang and the other two exchanged glances and nodded in unison. Seeing that they had agreed, He Yuzhu counted out the tickets they needed and placed them on the table, saying, "Could you please issue me a purchase certificate?"

"That's only right!" Tian Shuilai echoed, opened the drawer of his desk, took out a pen and paper, wrote five purchase certificates without specifying the quantities, and stamped them with the village committee's seal.

He Yuzhu took the purchase certificate and stuffed it, along with the extra receipts, into his bag, saying, "Uncle Village Chief, there are still a few months until the Spring Festival. I'll try to come back before then. You'd better save the good stuff for me."

Tian Jiawang said, "Don't worry! We'll definitely save some for you. But next time you come, could you bring more grain? Our village is a fishing team. There's not much land suitable for growing grain. Every year after we sell our quota of fish to the commune, the grain we get from the remaining fish is barely enough to keep us from starving. If something happens, we won't even have enough to eat."

He Yuzhu said, "Uncle Village Chief, food is very scarce right now. I'll try my best to get you more food next time I come."

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Tian Jiawang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "With you saying that, we can rest assured!"

He Yuzhu raised his wrist to check the time on his watch and said, "Captain, it's getting late. I'll be going now! Could you please send someone to help me move the things to the main road?"

"That's only right! I'll go get someone to help you move your things!" With that, Tian Jiawang led He Yuzhu out of the office.

Tianjia Village isn't exactly close to the highway, but it's not far either. It's about a ten-minute walk. With enough people, things get done. After half an hour of work, all the seafood was moved to the side of the highway.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Tian Jiawang and sending the people from Tianjia Village away, He Yuzhu immediately used his divine sense to confirm that no one was around. He Yuzhu then quickly stored the seafood piled up by the roadside into his spatial storage. After riding his tricycle for a while, he switched to a three-wheeled vehicle from his spatial storage and headed towards Beijing.
