"I'll go take a look." Li Xiangyang pushed his cart to the backyard and saw Brother Yong sorting through the stall fees collected today. "I stopped by your place. It's looking pretty good!"
Brother Yong looked up and smiled. "What did you think of the furniture?"
"It's nice. It'll look even better once it's painted," Li Xiangyang said with a smile.
Brother Yong took a letter from a drawer and handed it to Li Xiangyang. "Brother Shuiqing came by this morning. He said to let you know that this market has to close by the end of January. He also said they'll reserve a meat stall for you in each of the four new markets—five stalls in all. You'll only have to pay the sanitation fee, and the stall fees will be waived for three years."
Li Xiangyang took the letter, tucked it into his pocket, and looked at Brother Yong. "Tell Brother Shuiqing that getting a few free stalls is already great. I'm satisfied."
