After the meal, He Lang asked about the new house.
Xue Yue said, "Dad is keeping track of the wages. The money hasn't been paid out yet. Dad said that when we move, we'll call everyone over, pay their wages, and give each family a pound of meat. As for the materials for the new house, I don't know much about that. My older brother handled all the purchasing. They just finished plastering the walls a couple of days ago—my brother and the others did that too. You can go take a look later."
"I've already seen it. It looks great. It must have cost a lot of money. Did your brother front the cash for it?" He Lang had left in such a hurry that he'd forgotten to arrange things for the purchases.
Xue Yue shook her head. "I gave my brother 500 yuan to handle things. He should have a ledger, so I'm not sure how much is left."
He Lang smiled and said, "That's great. You know, this house is even better than the ones in town."
