He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

Song Zhiqing said, "Comrade Niu, there are a total of twenty-five plots of land here that can be used to purchase residential land. Take a look and see which one you want. By the way, Secretary Aiguo said you want a plot of two hundred square meters."

"So, these twenty-five plots of land are all 200 square meters, and of course they all belong to your village."

A single sheet of paper contains a drawing of a piece of land, clearly indicating its exact location, size, and shape.

Niu Ba nodded and immediately started flipping over.

In fact, he had already chosen a piece of land.

He found the land from the stack of blueprints.

This piece of land is on a small hillside.

Although the maximum area for a residential plot is only 200 square meters, the actual area on the small hill is much larger.

In other words, even if Niu Bayi uses the remaining land for other purposes, such as growing vegetables or digging fish ponds, as long as he maintains good relations with the villagers, no one will say anything about it.

Building a house is probably not an option.

Most importantly, the small hill is only about 200 meters from the sea.

Absolutely an unbeatable ocean view room!

Niu Bayi then pulled out this blueprint.

"Comrade Song, I want this piece of land. What do you think?"

Song Zhiqing took it and laughed heartily.

"Comrade Niu, you really know how to pick a location! This piece of land has the best feng shui among all these blueprints. It faces the sea and is backed by mountains. This means you have both support and wealth. Excellent!"

"But according to the rules, you have to tell me what kind of house you want to build, and you also have to tell me how long it will take to build. I need to write a report and have it signed by the deputy mayor in charge."

"Then make two copies, and you can start working with them."

"Of course, the house must be built within the time stipulated in our contract, otherwise the 1000 yuan deposit will be difficult to get back."

Niu Bayi immediately nodded and agreed.

Then I borrowed a piece of white paper and a pencil, and started doodling on it.

Before long, a beautiful two-story house with a yard appeared on the blank paper.

The painting is quite lifelike; it's so captivating that it makes your heart flutter.

Niu Bayi said, "For the walls, I mainly want to use seashells, such as giant clams, which are more moisture-proof and sea breeze-proof."

What he said wasn't wrong.

Back then, villagers by the sea rarely used red bricks to build houses; they mainly used shell powder mixed with yellow clay and mud.

This material can withstand the erosion of sea winds, even at the seaside, and can last a long time.

Niu Bayi had already made up his mind.

With the house settled, the next step is to go out to sea and harvest giant clams.

On the one hand, they could get giant clam shells to build houses.

On the other hand, he hadn't forgotten Yang Qianjin's instructions to find him a particularly large and complete giant clam shell and send it to Thailand.

This could earn you a whole ten thousand yuan!

While looking at Niu Bayi's paintings and listening to him talk, Song Zhiqing was writing a report on a letter.

After he finished writing, he nodded.

"Okay, Comrade Niu, take a look. If it's correct, I'll give it to the deputy mayor to sign and stamp now. Once the formalities are completed, you can start building your house."

Niu Bayi took it and looked at it. It was pretty much the same, so he nodded.

Song Zhiqing told him to sit with Niu Aiguo and Chen Tao for a while, then went to find the deputy mayor.

Only a dozen minutes later, he returned, his face beaming with joy.

"Comrade Niu, your report has been approved. Congratulations! You have obtained your own plot of land for homesteading. From now on, you can build your house whenever you want."

"But it must be completed within six months."

"Otherwise, the 1000 yuan deposit might be confiscated, and your homestead land might be taken back as well."

Niu Bayi nodded emphatically.

"I'll start building the house as soon as I get back. It won't take half a year, it'll only take three or four months at most. When that happens, Comrade Song and Director Chen, please come to my new house completion celebration banquet."

"Let's have a proper meal, no need for formalities!"

Song Zhiqing and Chen Tao laughed heartily and nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while, Niu Bayi put away all the documents and materials.

With these, he can build a house!

Build a house facing the sea, where spring is warm and flowers bloom.

Even after paying all that money, I only have five or six thousand left.

It certainly wouldn't be enough to build the house he envisioned.

But if you work hard to earn money and go out to sea to fish more often, you'll have the money.

Once the house is built and we've made more money, we'll turn the bicycle into a motorcycle, and the motorcycle into a car.

Turn 12-meter fishing boats into 24-meter ones, then into 36-meter ones, and then into even larger ones, to develop ocean-going fishing vessels.

We'll need to recruit a group of capable subordinates to fish in the Pacific Ocean together.

Having been given a second chance at life, one should naturally have lofty ambitions.

Niu Aiguo drove his motorcycle, sputtering away, and took Niu Bayi back to the village.

They drove him directly to the He family's doorstep.

Upon hearing the sound of the motorcycle, a figure flashed in the yard.

A graceful figure darted out.

"Hey, you're back so early! Did you get everything done?"

A pretty and sexy girl, her small hands still wet with water droplets, she must have been busy with something.

She tugged at her scarf, wiping her hands as she excitedly swayed her breasts, her face full of anticipation.

He Rong, Zhang Xiuli, and He Laifu also ran out, staring excitedly at Niu Bayi.

Niu Bayi grinned and took out a thick stack of documents from his bag, handing them out to them.

They also clearly explained what each document represented and what it was used for.

Upon hearing this, He Zhenzhen was practically jumping for joy.

"So, is everything completely done? We can start building the house now?"

Niu Bayi said, "With Uncle Aiguo leading the charge, we'll definitely handle everything!"

Niu Aiguo laughed heartily and patted Niu Bayi hard on the shoulder.

"That's because you did a good job. Anyway, we can start by laying the foundation. We can use whatever money we have to build the house little by little. When we run out of money, we can earn more to build it again."

Niu Aiguo's words are very apt, reflecting the practices of many families in the fishing village today.

If you want to build a house, once you've saved up some money, you can start building as many as you can.

Even if it's just laying a foundation, do it properly first.

If you really have no money, just leave it there for now.

Once we have the money, we can buy materials and hire workers to continue the work.

It's rare for people in fishing villages to make enough money all at once to build a house in one go.

Even if you only have a few hundred yuan, as long as you can lay a foundation and build a couple of walls, and have a new house in the making, you'll feel much more at ease.

Niu Bayi said, "Everyone, it's still early, not lunchtime yet. How about we go take a look at the place where they're building the house? We can also ask for your opinions, especially Uncle Aiguo."

Everyone readily agreed and followed Niu Bayi toward his soon-to-be new home.

It's not far from the He family's house.

It's less than a ten-minute walk away.

On a small earthen slope about two hundred meters from the sea.

This small mound is more than ten meters high. Although the top is a bit uneven, the protruding parts can be blasted away to create a flat area.

We can excavate manually instead of blasting.

It's tough, but it's safer.

After all, if they used explosives, the foundation might become unstable.

As Niu Bayi spoke, he raised his finger and gestured back and forth.

Where to build a house, where to build a yard, where to dig a fishpond, and where to plant some vegetable gardens.

Plant a few big trees there, so that they can provide shade and coolness.

In his description, a beautiful house appeared in everyone's mind.

He Zhenzhen exclaimed in amazement.
