My 1979

According to Li He's idea, the three mud houses at the back will not be demolished for the time being. His house is empty and the homestead is his own. He will only build three more tile houses in front of the door, leave a yard in the middle, and put up a fence. In the future, the conditions Well, it would be appropriate to demolish the mud house and turn it into a two- or three-story building.

There is no need to prepare rammed earth. All red bricks will be used. We will pay 1,000 yuan and build as we go.

Li He looked at the small accounting book and found that the amount of loaches and eels collected this time was more than 2,000 kilograms more than yesterday. The villages next door have begun to send them here. By the evening, there will be no problem in collecting 6,000 kilograms. Da Zhuang is a little anxious. "Erhe, 2 donkey carts are not enough. There are probably more in the future. It will be difficult to borrow more animals."

Li He thought about it, right? The production team could lend him two donkey carts, which was already a sign of honor. If he had to use horses or oxen, he would be a bit dissatisfied.

So he said, "You and the third child will look at which company has flatbed trucks and floor trucks. Whether they are from the production team or from a household, borrow them. If you give us 2 yuan, we will pull them ourselves at the worst. We will borrow at least 4 trucks." .”

When the taxi was borrowed, it needed someone to pull it. Li He told Li Fucheng about it, helped find someone, and promised to give him 10 yuan for a trip.

When Li Fucheng heard about the ten yuan, he babbled. He wanted to let his second and third sons come over, but he was a bit embarrassed. One was his eldest grandson and wanted to help, while the other two were his own sons and he had no shame in letting them work in vain. He said, "You don't need to find anyone else. Your second uncle and third uncle, I will go over and say hello later. As long as you know it in your heart, it will be done without losing money, and let them win with 5 yuan."

Even 5 yuan is a lot. A carpenter or a big house builder outside can only get 2 yuan.

Li He thought it was cheap to give him ten yuan, and even Da Zhuang gave him ten yuan. His own uncle's offer of five yuan was just idle talk, so he simply tried to be a favor and said, "Sir, we are going to the provincial capital. It takes five miles to pull a cart." After many hours, the road is full of potholes and I have suffered a lot. Besides, I will definitely make some money myself, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Li Fucheng said, "You have the heart to take care of your uncle, so I won't say more. Then I will also pull a car with you. You don't have to give me anything. I am your biological father, and I should be rewarded for everything I do." "

Li He knew the old man's temper, so he didn't say much.

There was a lot of noise at the door, with people coming and going. Li He simply set a time period. From now on, he would only collect goods from 4 to 6 p.m. every day, and no more after this time period.

This will free up time to do other things, and you will have to build a house after the stage. It is so messy that you can't cope with anything at all.

During dinner, Li He talked about his plan to build a house at the dinner table. Wang Yulan was stunned, "Oh, you kid, your dad is not at home. You and I have to make the decision on such a big thing as building a house?" "

The brothers and sisters glanced at each other and could read each other's thoughts. When our father came back to the northwest, we couldn't even drink.

It's not that Li He disrespected Wang Yulan, but his mother was too opinionated and a little soft-tempered, so he said, "Auntie, our father may come back in the year of the monkey. We are so old that we can't be squeezed together anymore. Besides, "How old is the third child? How can we have a wedding without building a house?"

Although Wang Yulan has no temper, she is not stupid. She has two sons and a daughter-in-law at home, so she can only worry, "But where does this money come from? It must be a lot of money. Your uncle renovated three tile-roofed houses last year." , and it cost more than 500 yuan.”

Li He stood up and filled a bowl of rice, and then said, "Anyway, we brothers are older, so don't worry about it. I have already agreed with my grandpa that if you come to work when the time comes, you just have to cook the rice."

When the local carts are loaded with goods, it is not an easy task to pull the carts. The road to the town is full of potholes and it is difficult to pull. Two donkey carts and four pallet carts weigh more than 5,000 kilograms. And moisture accounts for a large part.

Because the local train was slow, we had to leave early and set off at around ten o'clock. Li Long and Da Zhuang drove two donkey carts at the head and carried lanterns. Li He took his two uncles and his grandfather. A ground platoon truck was hung at the end of the queue.

The old man thought he was getting stronger with age and had a very stubborn temper. He insisted on pulling the cart and was unwilling to drive the donkey cart. He only muttered, "When I was young, I would go to the mill across the river. In winter, I would carry a basket and swim across the Huaihe River, and there would be two round trips." "

You are too young!

When we arrived in the provincial capital, it was a little earlier than yesterday. The fishery company was busiest in the early morning, so we didn't worry about not finding anyone once we sent them there.

After settling the accounts and getting the receipts, Li He directly asked Li Long to go to the financial room to get the money. They washed their faces with the tap at the sink.

The clothes were already soaked with sweat, so I took them off directly, stirred them in the water, and filled the kettle with water. As for whether they were clean or not, it didn't matter so much.

Apart from popsicles, the only thing to quench thirst is water, key mineral water, and Coke. There is no place to buy these things if you have money.

His requirements are really not high now, as long as he doesn't eat coarse grains and wild vegetables every day.

When going home, it is simple. People sit directly on the donkey cart, and the ground cart is directly hung behind the donkey cart. It is much more convenient. Li and Zhaoying lie on the donkey cart and sleep.

On the way, Li He made a decision. Instead of accepting loaches, he would only accept eels. There was a price difference of 9 cents per pound. Transporting 5,000 kilograms of eels at one time is already the limit. If we transport all the eels, we can make an extra 200 yuan in profit. If we continue to collect loaches, we will have to continue to find trucks and hire people, which will be embarrassing.

After this wise decision, I actually made more than 400 yuan in profit every day.

In the following days, we collect and deliver eels every day.

There are so many eels. A half-year-old child holding an iron hook can take out more than ten kilograms of eels in one day, and then happily deliver them to Li He.

At the same time, the family began to build a house. During the production team period, the whole family built the house, and the whole village helped. There was never any talk about hiring workers, rent, freight, etc. for major tasks such as building a house. Anyone who came to help at home was assigned by the production team and fulfilled their obligations in vain.

Li Heke couldn't bear to be so shameless and took advantage of this. As long as he was working, he would take care of the food. He would sit around two tables and drink and eat big dishes. He would take care of enough food and wine. Everyone said that Li He was too polite because his family didn't need to spend so much money preparing food and drinks.

After another day's delay, Li He asked his mother and eldest sister to cook breakfast, and then went to the kiln with the handlers to haul bricks. The kiln was more than twenty miles away, so he had to get up early and start the journey. In the back, they dug foundations and built walls. The work went faster with more people. Li and his family had plenty of food, and everyone did not try to bluff anyone, but worked hard and sincerely.

On the night when the beams were installed at the back, Li He asked the old man Li Fucheng to take him and secretly give money to each household according to the type of work, 4 yuan for small workers and 5 yuan for large workers. Everyone felt that the second son of the Li family was open, and the back wall was white. Li He and his family didn't worry about laying tiles at all.

Li Mei is also the happiest, and the most annoyed is Li Mei, because she really can't find a place to hide her money. Excluding the money for buying sand, bricks, and beams, she still has a huge sum of more than 2,000 yuan in her hand. She couldn't even think about it before. Dare to think.

Li Heke didn't worry about it. Looking at the new house that he could live in soon, he couldn't help but feel happy. This was the most fulfilling thing after being reborn.

In the era of production teams, there were more people and more power, good food and better drinks, and no one had time to work for you. Moreover, a tile-roofed house was simple. Once the foundation was laid, all you had to do was lay bricks. The most troublesome part was paving tiles. Two days, less than ten days in total, it was all done.

Calculating the time, this is only the beginning of August.

The exterior walls of the new house are all made of red bricks, which are filled with cement to make them tight. The roof is made of tiles instead of reeds and wheat straw. The height of 4.2 meters is considered to be the highest in the village. The ground was directly plastered with gravel and sand, and the whole family was delighted to see it.

When such a big satellite suddenly appeared in the village, everyone's previous sympathy turned to envy. The emotions were complicated. It was not uncommon to build three tile-roofed houses in the village, but they were all made of bricks, the floor was paved with cement, and the beams were high. , the area is large, this is the only one, many people secretly cursed, how much money did these two bastards in Li Zhaokun's family earn.

If you don’t make money, how did you build those three large tile-roofed houses? They are all made of red bricks. A red brick is three centimeters and two centimeters. The most valuable thing is the wood, the best pine beams. It is absolutely impossible for less than 1,000 yuan. Can't get off the ground.

Unexpectedly, they were accompanied by their grandfather, uncle, and even Old Man Liu’s youngest son, Da Zhuang, who was hanging around behind him all day long.

That old guy Li Fucheng used to smoke dry cigarettes, but now he smokes Hongtashan.

Li He didn't bother to pay attention to the gossip, but it wasn't that he didn't know how to keep a low profile.

First of all, the current policies are not so tight, and whoever has the ability will get rich.

The Li family are three generations of poor and lower-middle peasants. They have good roots and prosperous youth, but they cannot be labeled as big.

Even if Li Zhaokun was labeled as a speculator in the past, he followed a large team to repair the river, which was the so-called labor camp.

There was also a lot of gossip that reached the ears of the brigade secretary Liu Chuanqi. He said that he should investigate it. It would be a bit insulting to find this orphan and widower. If Li Zhaokun was at home, he would definitely not show mercy. If he said that he did not investigate, it would be difficult to lead the revolutionary team in the future. ah.

After all, there was Xiao Jiujiu in my heart, and she told her daughter-in-law what she was thinking, but the second daughter sitting next to her said, "Dad, don't you realize that the situation is different now? Don't you see that there are small traders and hawkers everywhere in the town?

They are everywhere next to the high school in our county. There are even stupid and bold people selling roasted sweet potatoes directly in front of the county committee. Which family in the village doesn't secretly raise a few chickens and grow vegetables in the yard. This is our house. What’s in the cellar? "

After Liu Li said this, she glanced at her father secretly. Seeing no reaction, she continued, "His Li He is either first or second in the county. I heard from our teacher that it is basically appropriate to go to college this year." Okay, now that there is no political review to go to college, how can you still influence others to go to college?

After graduation, I will be directly assigned and eat commercial food. Is there any future?

If you make enemies like this, will you be able to be kind in the future?

Didn’t his third child give you two cigarettes and two bottles of wine a few days ago? If you were to check it out now, wouldn't it be a typical case of eating a good meal, turning your mouth, and then turning your back on the person? "

Liu Chuanqi glared and said, "You are the only one who can do it. Are you a fool?"

After thinking about it for the last time, isn't that what happened? Naturally, let it go. If someone tries to apply eye drops later, Liu Chuanqi directly rejects it. If you have the ability, go and make a fortune. No one will stop you.
