Chapter 51: Buying Cement (Asking for Recommendation Votes!)
When I woke up early in the morning, there was no cloud, and it was a sunny day. However, Guo went to know that this hot sun, which was a grasshopper after autumn, could not be bounced for a few days.
But this made him feel that time was pressing, because due to climate reasons, in late autumn, the entire Qixing County was in autumn rain, the rain was not heavy, like cow hair, but it was endless, often ten days and half a month.
Ten days and half a month, such weather, for repairing a house, is really a nightmare, because there is no sun exposure, the foundation is not easy to dry, if you don't do it, you don't dare to build a wall at all, even if you build a wall, it is still not easy to dry......
Therefore, Guo Qu planned to take advantage of the fact that the sky had not changed, and prepared to transport the cement first, so that the plasterers could fill in the foundation.
I went to find Wu Laosan first, and prepared to use his car to load cement, after all, it was a two-story building to be repaired, and if you wanted to get it all right, you had to have two or three hundred bags of cement.
If he had used his own three rounds, he would have to pull it thirty times!
I went to the county for more than 40 kilometers, and after calculation, whether it was manpower and material resources, Wu Laosan's truck was better.
The price of cement is very high at this time!
Each package of cement is about fifteen yuan, and many people think that fifteen yuan is nothing at all.
However, if you think about it carefully, the plasterer's salary is only about ten yuan, and when you think about it, I am extremely afraid that this cement is more than the plasterer's salary in a day! This is unthinkable in later generations.
But there is no way, if you want to build a two-story brick house in this era of wooden tile houses, you have to buy cement.
At this time, some people will definitely say, yellow mud and glutinous rice to understand.
It is undeniable that there were indeed many brick houses in the past, which were built with yellow mud mixed with glutinous rice, but who would dare to live in the two-story brick houses built with yellow mud and glutinous rice?
……
The unloaded truck drove quite fast, and it only took an hour and a half to travel more than 40 kilometers.
The car stopped at the cement factory, and Guo went in with the old man to find the person in charge.
When he entered the iron gate, he saw a worker carrying cement to load a truck, Guo went to stop the worker who was about to pass in front of him, and asked, "Excuse me, how much does your cement sell for a pack?"
"Thirteen yuan a pack, no bargaining. ”
Guo Qu knew this very well without bargaining, so he didn't plan to bargain at all, and asked the worker to take them to the factory director, and Guo Qu paid 3,900 yuan, that is, 300 bags of cement.
With the slip, let the iron door open, and the truck drove in, and then the old man and Wu Laosan opened the door of the car body, walked to the stone bench next to it and sat down, quietly watching the cement loading.
Guo went to give each of them a cigarette, and then sat on the stone bench and waited quietly.
"Little brother is amazing, it's only been a month, and there is money to repair the brick house. ”
When the car came from Sanyuan Township, it passed by the foundation that Guo Qu personally selected, and this Wu Laosan was Guo Qu's partner, so he knew a lot about Guo Qu's collection of scraps.
"I can't fix it with the money I earn next month! I don't make enough money this month to repair half of the house. I won't hide it from you, I collected this scrap, it was made in partnership with my uncle, and the money was not much, and it would be even less if it was divided in half.
The house was also built by me and my uncle, half of each of the two families, and that's it, it's still the big head of my uncle. I'm dying of poverty now, and I'm upset when I talk about it, hey!"
Lying with reason and evidence can make people with good intentions let go of themselves, which Guo Qu naturally understands.
His recent movements must have been watched by others, especially this Wu Laosan, every time after the scrap was sold, when he counted the money, he tilted his head and watched, which had to be guarded against.
Otherwise, when he would give Guo to play, "I opened this place, I planted this tree", Guo would have no place to cry.
In the past, he was forced by life to stand up, but now, life is still forcing him, and he has to push out the strong uncle.
This was also discussed by the family, and his uncle agreed, but Guo Qu was still a little worried, and vaguely felt that something bad was about to happen.
Perhaps, this is the "persecution paranoia" of people who suddenly get rich.
Since he has the feeling of being targeted, whether it is true or not, he must try his best to avoid it, and the way he avoids it is to downplay his "high profile" in the past two months and give people a feeling of "I am poor".
Therefore, although there are two sets of blue Dekabu sewn clothes at home, he still did not wear them, but changed into the previous scar-mending clothes and scar-mending pants, and even the girl had to change into scar-mending clothes when she went out.
The country is not rich and strong, the education rate of the people is not high, and there are no awesome cameras around,......。
For these reasons, some criminal cases have occurred from time to time, and most of the prisoners have escaped justice.
These are all facts, Guo Qu always has a feeling of "looking around with wolves", and he has to guard against it.
As for the fact that there is a yellow label car at home, it has become a fact and cannot be changed.
The matter of repairing the house had to be done, because the old wooden house was too small, and the new house had to be repaired.
There is another reason for building a new house, which has already been said, and that is to do business well.
To sum up, if he chooses to hide himself and not build a new house, he is afraid that others will know and chooses to give up making money to support his family, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he returns to his previous poor family situation.
Because the matter of collecting waste products does not last long, as mentioned above, the reason is that the birth cycle of waste products in rural areas is too long, so it is necessary to move the family to the street with relatively convenient transportation.
Guo Qu had no other way to hide these "nouveau riche" things, so he had to push the uncle out.
And it's not enough for his uncle alone, compared to the absence of his father, there will be fewer pillars, and the sense of security will naturally be a little less, which is not good.
But his father was still like that, only about thirty-five years old, but his hair was already half white, because he had been drinking for many years, and his body was hollowed out by alcohol.
If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will ...... His father was dying.
So after the discussion of the family, as long as the car of cement is pulled back, then a scene will be played in front of Wu Laosan, and the drama of the pit father will be real and reliable.
also logically tied up his father, first gave him quitting drinking and gambling to regulate his body, and then knew his affection and moved him with reason, so he didn't believe that he was so hard-hearted.
Of course, another purpose is to dilute and weaken the news that he has made money, so that people with a heart feel that the family has no money, so as to make him safe for the time being.
PS: A few days ago, a reader asked me not to write sadistic, and I think it is also, the tragedy in reality should not be brought to the novel, so I will change the outline a little and let the family be harmonious.
In addition, I asked, pushed, recommended, and voted.
