"Auntie, no need! I came to Uncle Lu to see if you can pull up the wall?"

"Pull the wall?" The landlord and the two looked at each other, "Boss Yu, I won't tell you, if we were rich, we would have pulled the wall a long time ago, isn't this a ......"

"That's it, Uncle Lu, don't you think this will work, I happen to have workers, you buy materials, and I will arrange someone to help you build the wall!"

"That's a good feeling!" said the landlord.

It also costs a lot of money to build the fence!

Yu Qingyang is willing to send someone to help build the wall, which can save one or two hundred yuan.

Mudan City looks like a big name, but it is actually the poorest prefecture-level city in Dongshan Province.

Yu Qingyang: The village where they live is estimated to have a per capita annual income of no more than 1,000 yuan.

"There is another thing, that is, the toilet, I can do this, I plan to build a toilet and a bathroom in the yard, Uncle Lu, do you think it will work?"

Yu Qingyang's most dissatisfied with the house he rented was the toilet.

The so-called toilet is to dig a pit in the ground, and then carry two wooden planks, and surround it with three rotten asbestos tiles outside.

Yu Qingyang had to admit that this was his own mistake.

In his last life, he hadn't bothered about these trivial matters for a long time.

Coupled with the standardized construction of the construction site, there are people responsible for these.

So when he rented a house, he only considered whether it was enough to live and be closer to the construction site.

Forgot to think about toilets and showers.

"That Boss Yu, when you talk about the fence, we can scrape together enough money to buy materials, but we really can't afford to build toilets and showers!"

"It's okay, I'll pay for the toilets and bathrooms to be built, as long as you agree!"

Yu Qingyang really can't continue to endure the current toilet, and there is the problem of bathing, now is the hottest time, and he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't take a bath for a day, so these two problems must be solved.

Yu Qingyang is ready to plan and build the toilet and bathroom better.

"Agreed, we agreed!"

The landlord is not stupid, the toilet and bathroom have been built, and Yu Qingyang is not there, and it is not theirs in the end?

The house is for the son to get married, and there is a bathroom in the countryside, which is a very luxurious thing.

"Boss Yu, you can help calculate how many bricks, sand, and cement are needed, and we can buy them!"

Yu Qingyang silently calculated in his heart, and said: "Okay! Your yard is 10 meters wide from north to south, 14 meters wide from east to west, and the wall is 2.2 meters high.

In addition, about seven squares of sand, three tons of cement are required. ”

The landlord had just finished building the house, and he knew the price of cement, sand and red bricks, and according to the number reported by Yu Qingyang, he exclaimed: "So much?"

How?

Yu Qingyang doesn't feel much, but in the eyes of the landlord, it is really a lot.

13,000 bricks cost 1,500 yuan, 700 yuan of sand also cost 300 yuan, and 300 yuan for 3 tons of cement.

They rented a house to Yu Qingyang, only 300 yuan a month, and Yu Qingyang paid a total of three months' rent, 900 yuan, and it was not enough to take out all the rent.

After the calculation, the landlord began to retreat.

Yu Qingyang knew what he was thinking when he saw the landlord hesitating, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, now the price of building materials is rising vigorously, and now this money, after a while, may not be able to build it for 3,000 yuan!"

Think about it, this wall will be raised sooner or later, right?

Now I can help you save some labor costs, and when we leave, you will have to pay your own labor costs, at that time, it is not 3,200 to get up!"

"Boss Yu, I'll tell you the truth, it's not that I don't want to build, but I really can't get the money, you said that I can have a few hundred yuan left over a year when I farm the land!

Now the old couple lives in an old house built of three adobes, and the whole village knows about his family's situation, and there is nothing to hide.

"In this way, Uncle Lu, I can't lend you money, but I can arrange a job for you on the construction site, fifteen yuan a day! If you want, you can go to work with me, and after a month, how can you earn seven or eight hundred yuan by working overtime, and you can earn it in two or three months." ”

"Boss Yu, why don't you advance the money for us and let my old man work for you to pay back?"

"Auntie, this is not in accordance with the rules, I can arrange a job for you to make money, but I can't pay you a salary in advance!" Yu Qingyang explained with a smile.

"And this rule?"

"Of course, you see that your son is also working outside, has he been paid in advance?"

In fact, the so-called rule is that Yu Qingyang is not at ease with the landlord's character.

Although it is true that the rural areas are poor, they cannot be blamed only on the rural poverty.

The landlord is in his early fifties, which is the age of work, but he stays at home every day, arranging for those few acres of land, and then getting together to play cards, what does it mean?

It shows that people are lazy and poor cannot complain about society.

After giving him money in advance, he dared to play a scoundrel for Yu Qingyang, or go to the construction site to be lazy and slippery, and make a fool of himself.

Or don't even go to the construction site at all, anyway, the money is in my hands, what can you do to me?

It's a big deal that you can't live in a house, I won't charge you any money, offset the bill.

This situation was not unencountered by Yu Qingyang in his previous life.

At Yu Qingyang's repeated insistence, the landlord finally agreed to borrow money to buy materials.

After agreeing with the landlord, Yu Qingyang also began to contact materials such as red bricks, cement, sand, and stones.

Speaking of which, this project only has a half-year construction period, and Yu Qingyang seems to be a bit wasteful to build toilets and bathrooms.

However, things can't be thought of that way.

What is the purpose of making money?

Three meals a day, no matter how much money you have, can you still eat five meals? Sleep in two beds?

I remember that Yu Qingyang saw a very interesting story in the previous life.

When I said that a peasant had dinner at the same table with several big bosses, I asked them: You are so rich, what are your ideals and life goals?

They said: After a few more years of struggle, they will go to the countryside, buy a farmhouse, raise some chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, pigs, plant some flowers and plants, dig wild vegetables in the spring, fish in the summer, pick up rice in the autumn, sweep the snow in the winter, and ask a few friends to fight the landlord when they have nothing to do, drink some wine, and brag about it! How beautiful is life in the countryside!

After eating, the peasant went home and pondered for a long time, damn, the ideal of the local tyrant is my current life, and I still struggle for a fart! Go to bed!

Mengyi seems to be such a reason, pursuing a lifetime and struggling for a lifetime, as if it is for the current life of farmers.

Actually, it's not, the bosses are talking about a kind of financial freedom.

I have money, and when I want to live an idyllic life, I live an idyllic life.

When I want to travel the world, I travel.

In fact, even if it is the same pastoral life, the mood is also different.

The boss's pastoral life will never worry about his son's bride price or the money for a new house.

You don't have to worry about looking down on the doctor.

Yu Qingyang's goal in this life is definitely not to make money for the sake of making money.

Making money can only be a means, not a goal.

Just like now, building toilets, building bathrooms, some people will consider whether it is worth it.

And Yu Qingyang will only think about whether I can live comfortably.

Earning money is about having better living conditions, not about putting money in the bank.

Spending one or two thousand yuan to make his life more comfortable, Yu Qingyang feels that it is worth it.

The landlord also acted quickly, and bought the red bricks and cement sand back the next day.

Yu Qingyang arranged for Brother Song to lead people to build a fence and build a toilet and a bathroom.

Toilets, Yu Qingyang took into account that he had a large number of people, and built a relatively large one, divided into men's and women's toilets, four squatting positions in the men's toilet and one squatting position in the women's toilet.

I also coordinated with the landlord to build a large septic tank outside the courtyard wall.

In order to build toilets and showers, Yu Qingyang also specially hand-painted construction drawings.

Yu Qingyang never expected that the first drawings he drew in his life were toilets and bathrooms.

Yu Qingyang's place of residence is more than 100 meters away from the project department, just across the street.

Yu Qingyang's movements on his side naturally can't be hidden from the project department.

In this era, water conservancy projects, even the project department of a large enterprise such as the Provincial Water Conservation General did not pay so much attention to the accommodation environment.

The house rented by the project department is not as good as the house rented by Yu Qingyang.

The house they rented was still an old adobe house.

In his last life, Yu Qingyang lived in the project department for three months, and the experience of those three months can really make people reminisce for a lifetime.

At night, rats crawl on their faces, and dozens of mosquitoes are kept in the mosquito net at any given time.

If you don't turn on the fan, you can't sleep hot, and if you turn on the fan, the mosquito net can't be closed.

Bathing can only be done in the yard with pressurized water wells to press the well water casually.

Therefore, the people in the project department came to see the excitement.

"Xiaoyu, your conditions are better than our project department, and there is a bathroom here! You are too extravagant, right?" Liu Gong shouted in surprise as he looked at the drawings.

Yu Qingyang slandered in his heart, he really hadn't seen the world.

What is the bathing room, after a few years, the construction site has an infirmary, a reading room, a recreation room, a restaurant, a family visit room, a laundry room, and so on.

There is a smart access control at the gate, and workers should swipe their cards like white-collar workers when entering and exiting.

There's even a fingerprint retina punch system.

That's when you know what luxury is.

"Brother Liu, Brother Li, you can come to me to take a bath in the future!

I'm also doing this for everyone's convenience!"

"Well, when you build it, you will definitely come to take a bath, in this weather, taking a bath twice a day is too little!

When you move, you sweat!" Li Gong said with a smile.

"Xiaoyu, do you want to warm up the pot for you when you go back?" or have a Shangliang banquet?"

"This can be had!"

"By the way, Xiaoyu, when will the excavator you said arrive?"

"It's all connected, a total of six excavators, I'm about to report to you!"

"Liutai, good guy, you kid is really good!"

"Hehe, average, third in the country!" Yu Qingyang smiled reservedly.

Li Gong patted Yu Qingyang's shoulder, "Remember to treat you when you go back!"

Yu Qingyang nodded briskly, "Don't worry, please for sure, let's go to Peony City, eat, drink and have fun!"

In 2000, the wages of state-owned enterprises were very low, and the construction site subsidies were only a little more than 1,000.

Therefore, when I have the opportunity, I want to eat and drink.
