Rebirth in the 1980s to a well-off life

Chapter 14 Building an Oven

In Lin Liqing's eyes, these bricks were treasures! She had a total of more than a thousand dollars, and this time Lin Changmin was hospitalized, she spent more than ten yuan. Although Lin Guosheng wanted to return the ten yuan to her, she didn't ask for it.

, how could she not express anything when her biological father was hospitalized? If she accepted Lin Guosheng's money, she would not be ashamed to live in her parents' home.

Now if I spend dozens of dollars to buy bricks and ask for help, shouldn't I spend more money? If I do nothing, I will spend more than a hundred dollars.

It's hard to make money these days, and she's not sure whether she can make money from the banana chips. If she doesn't make money and loses so much money, she won't have the confidence to negotiate with Yan Jianguo when he comes back.

Lin Guoan saw that Lin Liqing was very happy, and he also became happy, "Well, what are you going to do?"

Lin Liqing hurriedly led her to the small side door in the backyard. When she opened the small side door, she found a small open space with their house on one side and other people's houses on the other three sides. They were all high walls and could not be seen at all.

The scenery outside is a bit dim because of this, making it look quiet and lonely.

On weekdays, their family would not come here, so they built a shed to protect them from the wind and rain. On the wall were hung several discarded raincoats from the early years, and some were so damaged that they could no longer be used and were reluctant to throw them away.

Lost farm tools, tools used in the early years, and big hammers.

These are usually not used, but they are worth some money, so they are all here.

Lin Guoan hadn't opened this small side door for several years. At first glance, it seemed a bit novel, "What? You want to build a brick kiln here to bake bananas?"

Lin Liqing nodded vigorously, "This place is the most suitable. Outsiders can't enter. Even if the fragrance spreads out, you won't know who made it. If others ask, you can't tell clearly, or just be vague. You can't go to our backyard to check."

Bar!"

Although the people in the village are not particular about it, they will not knock on the door when entering or leaving other people's homes, but when you arrive at other people's homes, you can only go to the main room and cannot go further back. Unless the host invites you, there is no need to say that you have lost something valuable.

clear.

This is also an established rule in the village.

"You are such a clever little kid!" Lin Guoan nodded Lin Liqing's head, smiled fondly, and rolled up his sleeves resignedly, "I'll clean it up for you! And, can you build it?"

Lin Liqing shook her head honestly, "I don't know how, but our family still has a technical director! Three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang."

Lin Changmin is good at setting up stoves, so the red brick oven shouldn't be a problem for him.

"Just do it!" Lin Guoan was speechless, but he still complained and worked for Lin Liqing quickly.

These things are not light in weight, and it took more than half an hour to get them all out.

After the shed was cleaned up, Lin Guoan said very pertinently: "I don't know what my parents were thinking at the time. This place is not small. It would be more suitable to build another room!"

Chen Meiyun brought them water, and when she heard this, she explained: "It's not just a matter of poverty! At that time, if you could have more money, you couldn't leave this place empty!"

Their house was not built in one fell swoop. It was built one after another for five years. At that time, a family in the village started fighting among themselves because they had not separated their families and there were not enough rooms to live in, and some people were killed.

The old couple were frightened to death. They thought that they also had three sons and two daughters. When the sons are married and have grandchildren, it would not be enough to build an extra house. It would be better to let them separate their families early. Anyway, they are all here.

Together, we were not afraid of our son and daughter-in-law being unfilial, so we stopped thinking about building more houses, saved all the extra money, and this small side courtyard became vacant.

Lin Liqing said with a playful smile: "Mom, that's just right. Rent this small courtyard to me first, and I will pay the rent to you when I make money."

"Wait until you make money!" Chen Meiyun did not refuse directly. After all, the other children were watching. Lin Liqing paid the rent and everyone felt comfortable.

Early the next morning, Chen Meiyun went to the village and bought some cement from a house that had leftover cement. The father and daughter hid in a small side yard and planned for a long time, including how to build it and where to build it. After discussing it, they started construction in the afternoon.

When Lin Guoan came over after get off work, the base of the oven had already been built.

Lin Liqing wanted to achieve the function of multi-layer baking, so the height of the entire oven was about 1.5 meters. The inside was made of bamboo brackets, the inner layer was built with adobe, the outer layer was wrapped with red brick cement soil, and the outermost layer was made of bamboo.

Enclosed and insulated.

Lin Liqing and her daughter are not sure whether this thing can be used or not. Fortunately, these materials cost nothing, so it’s a hassle. If it really doesn’t work, just use it as a shelf to put some miscellaneous things.

.

Lin Guoan originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that the father and daughter were so open-minded, come on, he was worried for nothing.

After returning home, Yu Xiaoping asked a few questions, "Can my sister-in-law's oven really work? Why do I feel that this is a bit false! It's better to buy some bananas directly from the village at a low price and transport them to distant counties to sell.

How much more money can I make!"

Jiaonan Village and Jiaobei Village are famous local banana producing areas. Every household grows bananas, and there is bound to be more than enough for them to keep for themselves. Most families use tricycles to transport them to the city for sale.

Bananas can be grown here all year round. Bananas are sold in every solar term. They don’t have a good price, but the advantage is that bananas are easy to take care of. They can add some extra income to every household. They can’t get rich but they can’t starve to death. Compared with those who just grow food.

The village is even stronger.

Lin Guoan shook his head, "I'm not optimistic about it either, but my little sister can do it if she wants. If it doesn't work, she will stop thinking about it."

The main reason why Lin Guoan indulged Lin Liqing so much was because he was responsible for Lin Liqing's marriage.

When he was about to retire from the army, Yan Jianguo happened to join the army and was assigned to their unit. Lin Guoan knew that Yan Jianguo was a fellow soldier and took special care of him. He even saved Yan Jianguo's life during a mission.

At that time, Yan Jianguo said sincerely that he wanted to repay his kindness. Lin Guoan thought of Lin Liqing, who could not do heavy work because of asthma. People in the nearby villages knew about Lin Liqing's physical condition. Who would be willing to spend money to marry an ancestor back home to support them?

, Lin Liqing’s marriage has also become the top priority for the family.

Lin Guoan tentatively mentioned the matter, but to his surprise, Yan Jianguo agreed without hesitation and immediately sent a telegram back to ask his family to help him.

The Yan family was definitely opposed to it, but Yan Jianguo went back in person and went to the Lin family to propose marriage.

As much as Lin Guoan was optimistic about Yan Jianguo at that time, he is now very upset. He even thinks that it was his hasty behavior that caused Lin Liqing's current misfortune.

Yu Xiaoping nodded slightly and said: "It just so happens that there are some ripe bananas at home. I will send them to her tomorrow so that she can try them and save her from spending money blindly."

"Daughter-in-law, you are so kind!" Lin Guoan looked at Yu Xiaoping with gratitude.
