Based on the address on the business license, it only took Huang Daohan five minutes to find Huang Daozhou's newly bought house on West Street.

He really thought the house was in a good location.

This morning, the water company happened to have an appointment to come to Huang Han's new home to install tap water. Huang Daozhou and Zhang Fangfen were both there.

Huang Han is not here, he is practicing piano at Experimental Primary School.

Huang Xin is not here either, she has to take the entrance exam today.

The little girl was left in the ancestral home because Zhang Fangfen thought there were workers installing tap water at home and was worried that the little girl might bump into it.

From a distance, Huang Daohan saw Huang Daozhou holding a pack of "Big Qianmen" and smoking cigarettes to the workers filling the tap water. He saw Zhang Fangfen carrying a kettle and pouring tea for others, and realized that the third brother should have bought this house.

His intelligence is not low, and he likes to use his brain to make careful calculations. Of course, he knows that the third brother cannot be deliberately pretending to show off to him.

He came to visit suddenly and quietly, and no one knew about it except his wife. He was worried about getting in the way, so he didn't even bring Huang Hongyun with him, who didn't have to go to school.

Seeing the third brother and the third sister-in-law happily making arrangements to install tap water at home, he thought that the third brother's purchase of a house should be true.

He is also from this street. He went to high school at the Experimental Middle School not far away. After getting married, he went to work in Qinhuang Town.

Sanshui City has basically not changed much in the past few decades. Huang Daohan returned to the old place with familiar doors and familiar roads.

He entered from the alley opposite the movie theater on the east side, walked around from the south, and saw a middle-aged woman washing rice.

Huang Daohan smiled and pointed at the newly bought house of Huang Han's family and asked:

"Sister, I would like to ask if the yard in front has just been bought by someone? Do you know what they are going to do after buying a house?"

"Yeah! It was bought by a man named Huang from the supply unit. His family should be planning to open a small restaurant! Why do you ask this?"

"Sister, don't get me wrong, I've always wanted to buy a house like this, so I'm asking, asking! Thank you, I'll go take a look in front!"

Huang Daohan walked around twice and asked three people, and was able to confirm that the current owner of the house was Huang Daozhou.

He finally made up his mind to lend 500 yuan to his third brother, and immediately went to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, which was only a few steps away, to withdraw the money.

Huang Han actually estimated that Huang Daohan's family really had more than 2,000 yuan in savings, and it would be easy to withdraw 500 yuan.

Huang Daohan is a thoughtful person. There are six or seven water plant installers in the third brother's new home. Of course, it is impossible for him to choose to enter the house at this time.

He went back to his hometown to take a look without entering. He was surprised to see that the fluorescent lamp was still on in the west room of his third brother's house during the day.

The third brother and his wife were waiting for the workers filling the tap water in the newly purchased house. Why were there adults talking at home?

He looked out the window into the west room and found two sewing machines and Fang Guilan and Zhang Huifen who were sewing, both of whom he knew.

When they sewed at the third brother's house, it was natural that they were helping the third brother's house. At this moment, the fourth child felt more at ease.

In fact, we can't laugh at Huang Daohan's seriousness. If the five hundred yuan at this time were used to buy a house in Sanshui City, he could buy two or three.

Thirty years later, the value of this house should be calculated as 10,000 yuan per square meter, which is close to 500,000 yuan.

But this algorithm is easy to criticize!

There are also two algorithms. If you get a TV ticket, 500 yuan is enough to buy a 12-inch black and white TV set. Thirty years later, if you sell it to a scrap collector, you can sell it for 50 yuan!

For five hundred yuan plus a few dozen yuan, and three bicycle tickets or approval slips, you can buy three permanent bicycles from the hardware company.

If the bicycles are well protected, they can still be ridden thirty years later, and there are still parts available for repair. Three old bicycles that can be ridden should still be worth 500 yuan!

What does this mean?

It means that if you have spare money at this time, you must not buy electrical appliances, industrial products, houses, gold, iron, or copper, as these will make huge profits.

Of course, if you are an expert, you can definitely make a lot of money buying antiques.

But this requires an investment of time and effort, and you have to do it yourself. It is fanciful to think that you can pay for it and ask others to collect antiques for you.

The person who helps you can't be a fool, and besides, you can't do the job of collecting antiques if your intelligence value is low.

Since they are not fools, will they give it to you if they really find a treasure? If you think they will give it to you, then you must be a big fool!

All in all, five hundred yuan was a lot of money in 1981, so of course you have to take it seriously!

Huang Daohan and his wife have been cautious, diligent and frugal all their lives, saved money all their lives, and are responsible and blameless people.

As for being stingy? What does that mean?

They save their own money and don’t cheat or deceive them! This is how most people in this era live their lives.

Just after seeing off the installer, Huang Daozhou and Zhang Fangfen immediately opened a tap, and they looked at the gurgling tap water happily.

"Dao Zhou, you will never have to carry water again!"

"That's great! Fangfen, let me tell you the truth! I hate carrying water the most. Every time I carry water, my shoulder will be swollen for several days, and it hurts when I touch it!"

"Haha! That's because you only carry the burden every now and then. If you carry it every day, it won't hurt!"

"Yes! When I think about how you were able to work on the construction site of 'Xin Tong Yang River' for a full 120 days, I am so impressed!"

"Isn't there nothing we can do? Everyone gritted their teeth and carried it on, even if their shoulder was bleeding due to pressure from the shoulder pole, they didn't care about it! Thinking about the days at that time, it really made me feel miserable."

"Alas! Life in rural areas is so difficult!"

"Isn't it? If I hadn't been able to endure hardship and follow you, would I have been able to survive this life?"

"Fangfen, let's not talk about the bad things in the past. Take a look at this house, this yard, those furniture, and the white tap water."

"It feels like a dream, Dao Zhou, are these all real?"

"Hahaha, just like you, I always ask myself this! Hahaha..."

The new home is connected to five taps. Of course, it is your own job to service the cistern. The water company cannot send anyone to do it.

Huang Daozhou has made up his mind to build a house. Of course he will not buy a pool at this time, but build a tap water pool. He will definitely save it for the time of building the house and arrange it carefully.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, hello!"

The fourth child who walked directly in suddenly made such a voice, which made the intoxicated Huang Daozhou and Zhang Fangfen jump.

Zhang Fangfen said quickly: "His fourth uncle! How did you find yourself here? Sit down in the room!"

"The location here is great! It's just a few steps away from the bus station, so it's easy to find! Your family has purchased such a large property, are you planning to treat it to some guests?"

"I want to treat you. Your third brother and I have discussed it and plan to treat it when the hotel opens. Then you and Dou Xiaoxia must come with good luck!"

"You must come, you must come. The whole family will come. This is a great thing to honor our ancestors!"
