Upon leaving Land Officer Yang's home, she proceeded to Uncle Old Gen's house. Knowing that Rad Officer Yang was always efficient in his dealings and assured him that the deed would be ready by evening or at the latest, the next day. As soon as she got the deed, she could recruit people to help even out the homestead. Following that, ground leveling, and purchasing materials were yet to be done, hence she needed to start assembling people right away.
Uncle Old Gen, was not really old, just a year or two younger than Dachuan, villagers often called him Old Gen. Given his reassuring name Old Gen, the younger villagers would either refer to him as Uncle or Old Brother.
Old Gen was a brick mason, the son of village elders, who would assist people with their house constructions during his free time. Since recently his foreman didn't procure any work, he was idle at home.
