Chapter 124: Operating in the Shadows (2)

Wang Mantou: "Do you think, you have become a big canteen and live a collective life, who still has the heart to build your own house?

"Another thing: there is not enough to eat everywhere now, and people don't have the energy to build houses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The original wood, doors and windows, turned over, turned over, and didn't turn over, for fear of being turned over again, and wanted to sell their hearts.

"No one built a house anymore, and no one bought a cart of reeds on the collection. It's not good in the summer, and in the end, it's not cheap?"

Wu Yiqi'er: "That's exactly what you said. In previous winters, there were blanks in the field one by one, but this winter there is not a single one. No one is building a house, who is going to buy this. ”

Wang Mantou: "That's why I said that it's a good time to build a house this year." If you have to build it, and you have the economic strength, you should hurry up and save money. ”

Wu Yi'er: "You should speak? What about the billet? I can't beat the billet in the autumn of the first year, what cover will I take?"

Wang Mantou: "I mean people lay the blanks, so don't hesitate." I didn't build a house!"

Lamei saw that the two of them were biting their teeth, and she knew what she wanted to know, so she smiled at the two people and said, "Come grandpa, uncle, you talk, I'll go out to play, ah!" After speaking, "Quack" and "Quack" ran out.

After listening to Wu Yiqi'er and Wang Mantou's words, Lamei had a bottom in her heart, and strengthened her confidence in building a house for her parents.

There are three elements to build a house: billet, brick, and wood. There are more than half of the timber that was originally brought in, and the purlin beams do not have to worry a lot.

And then there's the billet and the brick.

It is said that you can't beat the blank in spring, for fear of rain. But she knew that this spring was a big drought, and there was no rain at all, so it was no problem to beat the blanks.

I also have more than 1,000 catties of grain prepared for my parents, which can be used to hire people to make billets and build houses. It's just that the parents and family are thirsty, but they can't have both, and now the most important thing is the housing problem, solve this first, and it is estimated that it will not be difficult to eat and drink in the future.

And then there's the bricks.

She asked Wang Guiyong in her previous life, and Wang Guiyong told her that modern bricks cost two cents a piece, and the brick and tile factory bought them casually.

Two cents a piece, two thousand dollars is four hundred yuan. And she didn't even have forty dollars in her hand.

In reality, bricks are two cents a piece, two thousand is forty yuan, and she doesn't have one, and she only has two dollars in her hand.

Whether it is in the past life or in reality, there is a big difference in money on either side.

Sadly, from the Chinese New Year to the present, she has not earned much money.

At the beginning of spring, the chickens laid eggs, but because of the famine, people had no food to eat, let alone food to feed them. The chickens who couldn't find food were also hungry and "cooing", and they couldn't get an egg in two or three days, and they were still pitiful, and they couldn't weigh a pound in sixteen or seven.

When it was sold in a previous life, people suspected that it was a pigeon egg and could not be sold at a high price. Lamei had no choice but to end the business of pouring eggs in the two lifetimes.

In the spring, there was no green and yellow, and there was nothing to sell on the production team, so she had to be patient and make a flower hairpin.

In the first month, a few can be sold on a market to earn more than a dime, and in February, no one cares about it anymore. She had no choice but to put it away and wait until the end of the year to reorganize her old business.

Then it is five days to catch a store in the previous life king, selling the old clothes collected last year. Since there were no more goods later, all the leftovers were picked by people, and an episode couldn't be sold for a few dollars.

In desperation, Lamei thought of a bicycle.

Lamei once went to the real old bicycle market to inquire about the market, and a car like the one she collected could be sold for at least 20 or 30 yuan.

One of the five bicycles was mortgaged, and four were kept in the rented home in the previous life. Now is the time to urgently need money, why not launch it and sell it in reality to raise money for building a house?

She didn't dare to sell a bicycle by herself, she was too short, not much taller than a bicycle, and if she was deceived by people, she couldn't report it. The police investigated it, and they couldn't tell where they came!

Then I can only wait until I do my father's job and let him help sell it.

Lamei made up her mind to build a house, so she didn't want to get the wood out for her father to build a shed.

At dinner time, she cooked early and locked herself in the house. She was afraid to see her father's pleading gaze.

Since the rationing, Wang Da Belly is always the last to eat. He had his idea: porridge was served at the end, and it was always thicker than at the beginning. In addition, if there is a surplus, you can also pick up one or two bowls of porridge for nothing.

And there are always a few bowls of porridge left in the room. This is also the master's trick of cooking: isn't it just two more scoops of water, it's not enough to divide it in the end, and it's also the master's responsibility!

This is the reason why Wang Da Belly is always the last to eat.

Wang Da's belly went to Lamei's house and was also diligent. I can't stop burning incense and kowtowing to the white-haired grandmother. Speaking the same prayer:

"Ask the white-haired grandmother to give me something to eat, so that I can do any dirty work. As long as I am allowed to have a full meal, my Wang Tingshan will never forget it!"

The other is to set the plum almost in the past, and ask for two handfuls of dried steamed buns from her hand and soak them in the porridge to eat.

A bowl of gruel with two ox's eye sockets is undoubtedly a plugged tooth between the teeth for a stomach that can hold a flat dan and two flat dan hook steamed buns. The crying child has milk-to-eat, and in order to survive, he has to pull down his face and beg for help.

Lamei took pity on him and felt very sorry for him. Every time you open your mouth, you can get him to close.

But she didn't dare to help him much. Now that people are starving, if they help him for no reason, and they are shouting out, those who come here to beg for "white-haired grandmothers" will not line up.

"White-haired grandmother" is her fiction, and she has to be worried about it. In the face of such a great famine, there was really nothing she could do!

Tonight, Wang Da Belly came to burn incense again. Listening to his prayer, Lamei's heart moved, and an idea suddenly came to her.

"Grandpa Shan, sit down for a while?"

After Wang Da's belly finished praying, Lamei said.

"Lamei, Grandpa Shan hasn't asked for your dry steamed buns for two more days. Do you still have it? If you do, give Grandpa Shan a little, Grandpa Shan is really hungry!"

"Yes, yes, I'll give you a bowl tonight. Lamei said, and really filled him with a full bowl.

"Ahem, I also know it's not easy for you to get some sun, I'm sorry to ask for it for you. ”

"As long as I have here, I'll give you some. It's just that you can't get enough of these, right?"

"Tigers eat grasshoppers, and they pick up grasshoppers! A little is better than nothing!"

"Good grandpa, if you are asked to work hard to earn food, are you willing?"

"It is only natural that the farmer works hard to earn food. cough, Lamei, Grandpa Shan's whole body is full of strength, but there is nowhere to go.

"The work on the team is all big whips, and doing a good job is a bowl of gruel and two bull's eye sockets. Grandpa Good can't even plug between his teeth.

"If you really have to work hard to earn food, it is equivalent to saving your good grandfather's life. Lamei, if you really want to do this good thing, you have to tell your good grandfather, ah!"
