"Me, me, me! Boss Lin, count me in!"

"Mr. Lin, please register both me and my son!"

"Boss Lin, what do you think of my father?"

"Get lost, Lao Feng. Your dad can't even lift a shovel anymore. What are you doing here at Boss Lin's? Just eating and not working? You want five yuan a day? Get lost, get lost."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Amid the villagers' enthusiastic atmosphere, Lin Fan immediately took out an extra ledger and registered all their names. Once he had recorded twenty people, he could only regretfully send the rest of the group away.

Lin Fan then gave them another instruction, telling them to come early the next day with their tools so that they could officially begin work!

The new house was located on a piece of abandoned wasteland near Lin Fan's home.

These days, it's not like you need a property certificate to build a house, especially in rural areas. If you like a place, as long as it doesn't bother others, you can build however you want.

Ten people go to the new house every day, and Lin Fan decided to build an extra bathing area and a new toilet at the old Lin family house. The original kitchen was also demolished and renovated, so that four people would be enough.

The rest of the time, I went to my own house and my eldest sister's house, and renovated them to look similar to their old houses.

……

The next morning, the villagers arrived in a flurry of activity right on time!

Construction has officially begun on the Lin family's old residence!

Although everyone would occasionally stop to rest and have a drink of water, they would never slack off, after all, they had to be worthy of their five-yuan wages!

They worked until the sun was high in the sky, then Lin Fan called out to everyone to stop and rest, and also called over the villagers from the other construction sites.

"Uncles and elders, the food is ready. Come and eat first, then rest well before continuing your work!"

Lin Fan called out to everyone to start eating. He set up one or two large tables in front of the Lin family's old house. On one table was a large bowl of noodles and another large bowl of meat sauce.

The sauce was filled with fragrant diced meat and chili oil, making the villagers' mouths water.

"Gulp~ Boss Lin, is this food for us?"

"Goodness, Mr. Lin, isn't this going too far?"

Looking at the villagers standing to the side, constantly swallowing their saliva, but not a single one of them touched their chopsticks.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, let's eat. Don't wait any longer, this is the meal provided for you!"

"Building this house is hard work, so we can't go hungry. Everyone, eat more!"

After the shout, the villagers rushed over, some scooping noodles, others adding meat sauce, and soon the sound of everyone slurping noodles could be heard at the door!

Inside the courtyard, the Lin family was also sitting at a round table, eating the same food!

"Hey, third brother, isn't it a waste to eat like this?"

"There are more than twenty mouths to feed, so how about we make something light? Or maybe just some steamed buns and pickled vegetables will do!"

Liu Chunlian sat at the dining table, took a bite of the noodles with meat sauce in her bowl, but then put the bowl down and looked at Lin Fan with some heartache.

These days, which family provides meals for workers? And to provide meals is bad enough, but to eat so well, even better than what they eat at home?

Today I spent over twenty yuan on pork alone. If we eat like this every day, we'll go broke.

"Mom, we're all from the same village. They work so hard, we can't treat them unfairly, can we? Besides, don't you know how much profit you made selling us snails before?"

"Eating and drinking are all small expenses, Mom, please be generous."

Lin Fan looked at his adoptive mother with a smile and said something.

He then picked up a clove of garlic and popped it into his mouth, then slurped it up with his noodles, looking completely satisfied.

This kind of big pot of noodles with minced meat sauce always has a unique flavor, and even he, who was used to eating delicacies in his previous life, enjoyed it very much.

"Yes, what do women know? If you have money, you should spend it. Why be a miser every day? Don't you know how much money we've made from the villagers? You can't even part with this little bit!"

Lin Desheng glared at his wife and echoed Lin Fan's words.

Seeing this, Liu Chunlian could only nod helplessly, but she also felt that what her husband and son said made sense.

"Oh, Mom, don't worry about the money. Xiao Fan knows how to make money and how to spend it. He's sensible!"

The eldest sister smiled at Lin Fan and spoke with a look of satisfaction.

Only the second brother, Lin Zhi, didn't care about any of this. He slurped down a bowl of noodles, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, looked at Lin Fan, and said earnestly, "Xiao Fan, are we enough people? If not, I'll go help too!"

Lin Zhi was eager to try. He was a master craftsman on construction sites and knew a little bit about everything, from applying putty and laying bricks to installing ceilings.

"Second Brother, you should just come with me to the county town every day. You don't need to worry about things here. When you get to the county town, go to Hongye Tailor Shop more often and get to know Sister Hongye more!"

Lin Fan smiled and looked at his second brother, making a teasing remark.

The whole family laughed when they heard this.

Zhang Weihao looked at Lin Fan with some curiosity and asked, "Xiao Fan, is the Xie family girl really willing to give dating the second son a try?"

Lin Fan nodded firmly: "Yes, would I lie to you about something this big? Now it all depends on whether our second brother can live up to expectations!"

"If my second brother does well, our family will be able to bring home a city wife someday!"

Lin Zhi, being a bit slow-witted, didn't realize everyone was mocking him. Instead, he nodded earnestly and said, "Hongye is indeed beautiful. I'll go there often and work for her family! I'll try my best to marry her!"

Upon hearing this, the family burst into laughter once again.

Then continue eating!

And so, after a busy day until evening, the day was considered over.

At dusk, Lin Fan called Lin Shuying, his eldest sister, and the two little maids into a room.

"Xiao Fan, why did you call us over?"

Lin Shuhan looked at Lin Fan and asked curiously.

Lin Fan glanced at the group and said, "Big sister, have you all been studying hard with the teacher these past few days?"

"You don't need to worry about things at home, but you must study hard with Teacher Chu, because you know that such an opportunity is very rare!"

"Especially Xiuying and Qiao'er, you must understand that time cannot be turned back. Every year you grow a year older, you will miss the best opportunity to learn. If you don't want to be illiterate and want to change your destiny, you must study hard and stop being playful, understand?"

Seeing Lin Fan's serious expression, everyone knew that Lin Fan had come to give them special instructions because he was worried that things at home had been busy lately and he was afraid it would affect their studies.

Lin Shuhan nodded and said earnestly, "Xiao Fan, don't worry, we will cherish this hard-won opportunity and promise not to let you down!"
