"Fang Yuan, you said this, why don't I invite you? Come, drink tea." Lao Cao said while pouring a cup of tea for Fangyuan.

However, although Fangyuan was joking, he did come here to have a meal. Of course, to be precise, he should just come along to have a meal.

"Yeah!" Fangyuan was not polite and took the tea cup.

"Fang Yuan, do you have anything else to do when you come here today?" Lao Cao asked after sitting down and looking at Fan Yuan.

"You're right, I do have something to trouble you." Fang Yuan nodded.

"That's what I said. It's no trouble. If you have anything to do, you can speak. Anyway, my balls hurt every day." When Lao Cao said this, he even scratched his crotch.

This made Fangyuan couldn't help but smile, Lao Cao was really speechless.

"It's like this. I want to rent out the houses facing the streets in Houhai. As you know, I run out every day, so I left your home phone number."

"You want me to help you rent out the house?" Lao Cao looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.

"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded.

"But...but I don't know how to rent it!" Lao Cao scratched his head.

"Old Cao, the rent doesn't matter. There are people renting houses nearby. You can ask around. In the end, it's cheaper than others."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, Lao Cao scratched his head and said, "If that's the case, that's no problem."

For now, Fangyuan really doesn't care about the rent, because even if he asks for more, it won't be much more.

Only when Houhai as a whole becomes prosperous and it becomes difficult to find a shop, will that be the big deal.

When the time comes, no one will have anything to say if we just follow the market conditions.

In fact, Fangyuan thinks too much. He doesn't even look at where Houhai is. No matter what he does, this place will still be prosperous. This is not because of anything else but the geographical location.

"Well! Please." After finishing speaking, Fangyuan opened the bag, took out a large bunch of keys and placed it on the table.

"Hiss! So many?" Although he was mentally prepared, Lao Cao was still startled by this large bunch of keys.

"I've put house numbers on these keys. You just need to open the door according to the house numbers."

"Yes!" Lao Cao nodded and took the large bunch of keys over. He saw that each key was covered with a piece of medical tape with the house number written on it.

"Fang Yuan, don't worry if you leave it to me! I'll go find out about the rental price tomorrow."

"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded.

“Dingling bell…Dingling bell…”

At this moment, the phone rang, and Lao Cao quickly stood up and ran into the house.

"Hey! Who is this?"

"Hello! I am a renter. I see that your house is for rent, so I would like to ask how much do you plan to rent it for?"

Lao Cao was about to say something, but then he remembered that he didn't know the price yet, and he didn't know the size of the house the other party wanted to rent.

"I'm sorry! I'm not there right now, so let's go over there tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon, and we'll have an interview."

"Oh! Good, good."

After Lao Cao hung up the phone and came out, Fangyuan asked, "Are you busy tomorrow morning?"

"Uh! No!" Lao Cao shook his head, but soon understood why Fangyuan asked, and said, "That's it. Fangyuan, I want to inquire about the rent price tomorrow morning."

"That's it!" Fang Yuan scratched his head.

Fangyuan and Lao Cao chatted for a while, and Lao Cao's wife prepared the meal.

"Let's walk around and eat first."

"Um!"

The food was quite sumptuous, but there was nothing I could do about it. Just by looking at Lao Cao's body, you could tell whether his family's food was sumptuous or not.

"Come to Fangyuan, let's have a drink with the good wine I just bought two days ago."

"You'd better drink it yourself! I still have to drive." Fang Yuan put the glass away and said.

"Uh! No! It's boring for me to drink alone!"

"You guy, didn't Fangyuan say that he can't drink while driving?" Lao Cao's wife said.

"Okay then! I'll drink it myself."

I was full of food but not enough of wine. Of course, I was not talking about Fangyuan, but Lao Cao. Fangyuan didn’t drink at all, and Lao Cao didn’t feel like drinking alone, so he stopped after a few drinks.

Fangyuan checked the time and saw that it was already late, so he left from Lao Cao's house.

He also has to go to the hot pot city to collect money, which is something Fangyuan must do every day. He can only go home after collecting all the money from the four hot pot restaurants.

Fangyuan's life is miserable! But there is nothing we can do about it. You must know that there is a lot of turnover on this day. If it is not put away, someone will definitely take risks.

When Fangyuan got home, it was already around nine o'clock in the evening, and my mother, eldest and third sister had already gone to bed.

Master was the only one left in the living room watching TV, and even the niece Fang Xiaoling, who loved watching TV the most, was not here at this time.

Also, she has to go to school tomorrow, and the only person at home who has nothing to do is Master.

"Come back?" Master asked when he saw him coming back.

"Master, are you still awake?"

"We are old and sleep less. If you are tired, go to sleep! I will watch for a while."

"I'm not tired, let me watch TV with you!"

It's a lie that Fangyuan isn't tired. You have to know that he has been running outside all day long. Except for the time at the police station, he also took a break at Lao Cao's house.

But no matter how tired you are, you can't say you are tired in front of Master.

Master is getting older, so I can stay with him as long as I can now, otherwise I won’t be able to stay with him even if I want to in the future.

As the saying goes, if the wind and rain are still, the child will not stop the wind, and the child will want to be raised but will not be loved.

What I am talking about is that Master is now at this time, so as long as Fangyuan has time, no matter how tired or late he is, he will take time to accompany Master when he comes back.

Of course, this is not enough, so every week Fangyuan will spend two days at home to talk to Master, or take Master out for a walk.

"When you're tired, go in and rest. Why are you accompanying an old man like me?"

Not only did Fangyuan want to accompany Master, Master also felt sorry for Fangyuan because he knew very well how busy Fangyuan was every day.

"It's okay, Master. I'm really not tired. Let me have some tea with you!"

After finishing speaking, Fangyuan picked up the teapot, refilled it for Master first, and then poured himself a cup.

Seeing Fangyuan like this, Master shook his head and said nothing more.

Fangyuan and Master drank tea, chatted and watched TV until around 10:30, when the two of them went in to rest.

This is because Master feels sorry for Fangyuan. Otherwise, Master probably wouldn’t believe it before eleven o’clock. The old man didn’t sleep much. Even if he went to bed at twelve o’clock, he would wake up at four or five o’clock in the morning.

The next morning, Fangyuan got up early. No matter how busy he was, Fangyuan would never forget to get up and box every day.

After Fangyuan finished boxing and took a shower, her mother had already prepared breakfast. Fangyuan ate something and drove away.

The hot pot restaurant opens relatively late, so Fangyuan didn't waste time delivering things after breakfast.

By the time Fangyuan finished delivering the ingredients, it was already an hour and a half later, and at this time, it was only around 8:10.

Fangyuan didn't wait for the store to open, so he drove to Yabao Road, where he would come every day.

Of course, I just came here to take a look. Seeing the changes here every day made Fangyuan feel happy.

"Boss Fang." Seeing Fangyuan coming, the manager of the construction company ran over quickly.

"Don't worry about me, I'll come over and take a look." Fangyuan said.

"Boss Fang, you are worried about us!" the construction company manager said jokingly.

Of course he knew that Fangyuan was not worried about them. After being in contact with each other for such a long time, they understood each other well.

To put it bluntly, they are already very familiar with each other, and it is normal for them to joke a little with each other.

"That's right! I just don't trust you because I'm afraid you'll cut corners."

"Hahaha!"

"Come on, come on, let's drink tea nearby." The manager of the construction company pulled Fang Yuan and said.

"Forget it about drinking tea, I have other things to do later."

"It won't take long to drink some tea. Let's go."

Fangyuan shook his head and had no choice but to follow the manager to a shed.

Nowadays, unlike in later generations, there were simple houses or prefabricated houses. Now when working on construction sites, we just build a shed.

This is the on-site office. The shed is very simple, with a bed, an Eight Immortals table, and nothing else.

Managers all live in such a place, not to mention workers, but there is nothing we can do, this is the current condition.

Fortunately, the weather is warm now, not to mention there are sheds to live in. Even if there is no shed, sleeping in the open air is no problem.

"Boss Fang, what are you going to use these houses for after they are built?" the manager asked after pouring a cup of tea for Fang Yuan.
