With the help of the government, Lyv's family repaired the old house and moved into a new tile-roofed house. Lyv also has a public welfare job cleaning roads for 1,725 yuan ($252) per month. Construction is now underway on a new house for his son, who is getting married. Lyv withdrew all his savings and bought construction materials through a county credit service to pay for it.
