The Story of a Plane Merchant Selling a House

Mom and Tutu sat together on the warm kang, listening to Sixth Grandpa's different praises.

"Tutu's studies outside were not in vain. He has accomplished such a great thing for the village. However," he said as he pushed a brown paper bag over.

"There's 90,000 in it. The two families that were appraised before had the same price. We can't let our children suffer a loss when we do things ourselves. We have to give what we deserve."

Tutu pushed back, "It didn't cost that much. The labor was done by someone I know, and the price was low, just over 20,000 yuan. When renting the construction vehicle, I found the cheapest one. The quote was only 30,000 yuan."

Tutu went to the city to inquire about the rental fees, fearing that she would be exposed. This was her rough calculation based on the rental fees and the data provided by the three engineering teams.

The old man disagreed. "If they charge a low price for labor, then they are also using up your favors. Favors are more expensive. Besides, they did a great job. They have already dug the foundation. We can save a lot of money when we build a house in the spring."

Tutu couldn't argue with Sixth Grandpa, and was afraid that if he said too much, there would be loopholes.

"We didn't even invite them to our house, and they did things for us, but this is so impolite. Why didn't you tell us when Tutu and the others were coming? You could have brought them some hot water at least." Sixth Grandpa felt a little regretful when he thought of this and slapped his thigh.

Tutu refused for a long time and explained that she was also helping others. Only then did Sixth Grandpa reluctantly agree to give less, and he would not give in until he received at least 70,000 yuan.

After thinking for a while, Sixth Grandpa turned around and went back to get a stack of coupons and handed them to Tutu. "This is a gift from a boss in the tribe who donated money to run a hotel. It's useless for me to take it. People in the village are reluctant to spend money on travel. Don't let it expire. Give it to your friend."

Tutu took a look and saw that it was a thick stack of hotel accommodation vouchers.

My mother listened to their conversation in amazement, waiting for Sixth Grandpa to pack some sweet potatoes for them to take back.

My parents were shocked and gathered together to discuss the matter.

Tutu took the opportunity to slip away, ran to the top of the mountain and looked down the cliff. It was covered with snow. There was nothing special about the place except that the terrain was a little lower than the surrounding area. After another winter of rain and wind, it would be no different from the site demolished by ordinary machinery.

Tutu felt that taking the 70,000 yuan was a bit too much, after all, these houses were valuable to her, but she didn't dare to refuse too much, after all, the reason she made up still had loopholes.

Tutu returned home and her parents asked her to invite her friends who had helped her to come over to play. Tutu made the excuse that they were going to Ice City to see the ice and snow world together and had left yesterday.

It was too difficult to make up a lie, so Tutu decided to go out during the day and wander around, which was better than making up a lie at home.

The water level at Muguo has almost receded, and now only some places on the ground still have deep water. On the exposed surface, the tender green grass leaves have grown in the wind and are above the instep of the feet.

There were many fallen trees, and as expected, there was no sign of fruit. There was no sign of prey, and the occasional animal carcass was already rotten. The tribe leader had warned us not to touch it, so the exploration team returned empty-handed.

Muguo thought it was better to come back sooner rather than later, as A-ma had almost recovered from giving birth. As a strong female warrior, the weakness caused by giving birth, the twenty-plus days of rest without having to worry about food, and the special nutritional supplements given by Tutu, made A-ma recover quickly.

Apart from the supplies provided by Tutu, the tribe did not have much other property to take away. They only had the few belongings they brought with them when they fled the flood, and after so many days, even if they ate frugally, they did not have more than two bags of food left.

The only pity was the small yard and the small house. Muguo was reluctant to leave them, so before leaving he thought that at least he could take the big iron pot with him, so he dismantled the big iron pot.

Tutu happened to be connected with Muguo, instructing her on how to dismantle the pot without breaking it.

"It's more troublesome to do this. The bottom of the pot will easily break when you use it in the future. If it were in our shop, and it broke in such a short time, I could probably ask the merchant for warranty, huh?" Tutu suddenly thought of something.

Click on the sold items in the system, there is an inconspicuous icon, after-sales. There are two options, exchange and repair, and the points that the buyer needs to spend are marked behind them. It's a bit like the style of the cat house.

“Muguo, please check the after-sales options for the products you have purchased.” Tutu taught Muguo step by step how to choose.

Muguo also had other guesses. She thought that it would cost a little to repair the small yard, so she could give it a try at two o'clock.

She decided to repair it. The empty yard disappeared in front of her eyes after she had packed up her things, and the bare ground appeared.

The tribesmen were a little agitated. Muguo had said in advance that the house would be repaired. Although she had guessed that the house would disappear, she did not say it out loud because she considered that there would be two possibilities: repairing it in her plane by magical means or repairing it when the house returned to Tutu's plane. So she only said that a miracle would appear.

On the after-sales interface of Tutu, a thumbnail of a yard with the words "needing to be cleaned and repaired (price 2 points)" appears. It seems that the larger the yard, the higher the cost of repair and tidying up.

After a while, another small house was also in the after-sales interface. This house was cleaned and sorted by the system, and it was returned without damage, and no repair costs were shown, which means that the sold house can also be temporarily stored and returned to her.

Muguo had not thoroughly studied many of the system's functions, such as the system's ability to detect and control a 50-meter range, which was also taught by Tutu, after all, Tutu had been influenced by various novels and games. Muguo had only just discovered that the system had so many practical functions.

Muguo decided to set off while the tribesmen were excited and get out of the flooded area as soon as possible.

The old tribe leader was as high-spirited as a young man. All the tribe members were here, so there was no way to chat. Muguo gave Tutu some repair points and told him not to repair it first, but to test the longest storage time.

Tutu wanted to take advantage of this period to stock up on some materials because she didn't have enough points. The dilapidated village on the shelf (priced at 860) showed that the total price of cleaning and repairing was as high as 82 points, and her remaining 28 points had to be saved.

Tutu wanted to find a place to stay, so he strolled to the port and decided to take a boat to Little Rock Island.

Xiaoshi Island is not very large, and there are more than 100 households on the island, all of which are part of one village. In recent years, villagers who raise oysters and sea cucumbers have made a lot of money. There is no fresh water or heating on the island, and living conditions are poor. Except for the aquaculture workers, most of the people on the island live in the county town.

They have lived in the sea breeze for generations and look down on the large sea view houses in the development area near the island. They think that they are houses sold to inland tourists, and the sea view houses are very damp and only look good but not practical.

The villagers prefer to settle in the county town about ten kilometers across the river.

There are hardly any people on the island, only small boats at the pier.

While wandering around, Tutu met two acquaintances. They were two people who had been to his hometown village to get a quote. The one who quoted 60,000 yuan excluding transportation was also there.

It was obvious that the person who had quoted the all-inclusive package was more popular, while the one who quoted 60,000 had a visibly dejected look on his face.

Tutu ate a lollipop and squatted on the side to eavesdrop on their conversation. "It's a package for more than 150 houses. The cost of demolishing the old buildings, cleaning up the house and digging the foundation will be at least 500,000. Brother, you don't make much money. You know how expensive labor is these days. Dumping of construction waste on the island is not allowed, and we have to use transport ships, which adds a lot of costs. Of course, if the contractor can give us the contract, we can still talk about it." The more popular quotation person said confidently.

The quoter for the 60,000 yuan price smoked without saying anything. The village receptionist did not get the expected two bids, and became increasingly dissatisfied with the quoter for the 60,000 yuan price.

The 60,000 quoter waited for everyone else to leave, then squatted down to smoke. Tutu moved over and asked him, "Why don't you quote?"

The middle-aged man didn't recognize her, probably because she was wrapped too thickly last time. "There's no profit. It's OK if it's just unpacking without shipping. I can make a profit from the labor cost. If he gives me that price for shipping, I won't make any money."

"How can that company do it at this price?" Tutu asked curiously.

“His family is also involved in construction, and he probably wants to make up for the losses through construction.

Tutu was envious of so many houses, but this place was different from his hometown. There were no cameras under the rocks in his hometown, but here there was a seaside resort across the river, so the risk of exposure was extremely high.

And currently, her system scan can only display within fifty meters, the island is too big.

Tutu asked him for a business card, saying that he would need it later. His surname was Lan, which was a common surname here, and he was also a boss, so it was no wonder that he was so sincerely distressed. I guess workers wouldn't be so entangled.

Tutu has been thinking all the way whether it is possible to take advantage of the fact that demolishing a house is very expensive, but there are cameras in society nowadays and the risk is too great. She doesn't want to go for tea, so she hesitated and kept the business card. In case the system is upgraded in the future and there is a way, this business card will be useful.

When Tutu returned home, she received a bank transfer notification, which meant her mother had transferred money to her.

She felt conflicted whenever she thought of her mother asking her to go buy clothes quickly.

When she was in school, she loved dressing up and shopping. Later, when she started working, she began to gain weight from the midnight snacks after overtime, snacks when she was stressed, and takeout meals. She gained more than 30 pounds compared to when she was in school.
