Chapter 102: Uncle Talk
After eating the long-lost hot pot, Li Liang stroked his swollen stomach and sat on the stool and didn't want to get up. The same goes for everyone else,
The most exaggerated was the monkey, he covered his mouth with his hand, and said comically: "Liangzi, no, why is this hot pot so delicious, what I eat is almost to my throat." ”
The happiest is Zhang Meng, since the opening of the head office, both the turnover and net profit are higher than a branch, although the head office is run by his mother, but the young Zhang Meng is holding back a lot of energy in his heart with Chen Junhua and Kang Xinghua. Such a delicious hot pot must be promoted in the store as soon as possible, and it may be able to surpass the main store.
After eating, everyone cleaned the store briefly, and the staff of the store went home with their flashlights.
Chen Zhong and Chen Yong two brothers live in the utility room in the store, their salary for doing chores in the back kitchen is 25 yuan a month, Zhang Meng added an extra 5 yuan to the two brothers every month to watch the store, as long as they sleep in the store every night, they can get an extra five yuan a month, they are satisfied, happily persevered.
Zhang Meng lives at his grandmother's house, and his business in the store is good, and he receives more and more accounts every day, so he doesn't dare to put so much money in the store casually. I live in my grandmother's house, there are many people in the village, and basically every family has a dog, so I can take care of everything.
Outside the store, both sides of the road at night have calmed down, and all shops have closed one after another. Wang Fagen was wearing gloves and trembling as he pushed the bicycle locked outside the store, about to take Li Liang back.
Zhang Meng looked up at the sky, the sky was dark, only the howl of the north wind, he took a flashlight from the store and handed it to Li Liang: "Liangzi, pay attention to safety when it's dark, you give your uncle a flashlight to see the road." As he spoke, he handed Li Liang a pair of brand-new gloves with a little embarrassment, "This is for your sister!"
Li Liang looked at Zhang Meng with a wicked smile, and the light from the store shone on Zhang Meng's backup, covering his face, but Li Liang felt that Zhang Meng's face must be swollen red at this time.
"Okay, promise to bring!" Li Liang said.
After eating, Wang Fagen's car rode very slowly, and when it came time to go to the overpass auxiliary road, both of them got out of the car and pushed the car forward.
"Liangzi, you tell your uncle, can this construction industry really be done, my uncle is still worried that he won't be able to pull in business when the time comes. You know that there were 30 salesmen in the last batch alone, plus a few of our partners, it is not easy to feed so many people. Wang Fagen said as he rode the bike.
"Uncle, we don't have to pay wages every day!" Li Liang explained, "For an engineering team like the one we are going to do, we will pay our wages on a daily basis when we have something to do, and we will go back to farming when we have nothing to do." Feel free to stay and go. ”
Wang Fagen's thinking is still stuck in a state-owned factory like Li Liang's parents, as long as they are employees in the factory, regardless of birth, old age, sickness or death, the factory must take care of everything. Li Liang's idea is the common practice of later generations of migrant workers who went to the city to work, and doing one day's work is counted as one day's wages.
"In addition, uncle, I don't think everyone will come to the city to do this business, those who are far away from home, and who can do small business in the polder town, will not come. What we need to solve is two practical problems, one is how to pull the construction project, and the other is how to do the project well and make a reputation after the construction project. ”
"This house of mine will be handed over to our own construction team to do, and strive to make it a beautiful hit!"
"Well, my house in the countryside is also done by my own construction team. Wang Fagen also said in agreement.
"Uncle, if that's the case, I suggest you build the house to the side of the Zaozhu Township Government, this is a polder, and if it's done well, it's a live advertisement, and people who go to the market can see it. Li Liang suggested.
Wang Fagen's future is destined to rarely go back to his hometown to live in the countryside, and building a two- or three-story house in his hometown village is purely showy and wasteful, and it is better to build it on the side of the polder in the early township. With the development of the economy in later generations, the polder will definitely get better and better, and when the time comes, you will be able to earn back the money from buying land and building houses with interest after renting out for a few years.
"Build it in the polder?" Wang Fagen hadn't thought about it before, he praised, "Okay, brother-in-law will listen to you, and then brother-in-law and I will become a celebrity in the surrounding villages." ”
Wang Fagen was thinking of the picture of being envied and complimented by the villagers in the future, and laughed.
Li Liang lit the way forward for Wang Fagen with a flashlight in one hand, and he sat in the back seat of the car and listened to his uncle's laughter, and couldn't help laughing.
He can understand his uncle's mentality very well, it's not that Wang Fagen is unproductive, but that he has no father since he was a child, Li Liang's grandmother grew up with six children alone, and the family conditions are so poor that Wang Fagen and Liu Juying can only nest in an adobe house when they get married, and even Liu Juying's mother's family has no place to live.
In his previous life, his brother-in-law Wang Fagen went to Guangdong Province to work with his wife Liu Juying a few years later, and later opened a restaurant outside and slowly made a fortune, so he went home and built a small three-story western-style building, but that was already in the mid-90s. At that time, Li Liang's grandmother was still alive, and her youngest son built a house but was not at home all the year round, and she lived alone in an empty house, although the house was prosperous but lonely. Every time Li Liang went to the countryside to see his grandmother, he could experience Wang Fagen's mood.
Wang Fagen is not a procrastinator, after listening to Li Liang's advice, he handed over the store to his wife Liu Juying to take care of alone, he carried a lot of New Year's goods and thousands of yuan bought in the city, and took his mother to the car home in advance.
After more than an hour of bumpy driving, the car arrived at the polder in Hayaju Township. The polder where the Zaozhu Township Government is located is not large, there is only one street, except that the township government compound is a three-story building, and even the police station and other units are brick and tile bungalows.
On the contrary, some of the residents' houses will be better, some of these old houses are handed down from their ancestors, and some are divided from the landlords in the early years of liberation, all with the style of ancient houses in the south of the Yangtze River. This kind of old house integrates the essence of customs and culture, the structure is rigorous, the carving is exquisite, especially in the comprehensive application of architectural carving art, which fully reflects the distinctive local characteristics. In particular, the dwellings, ancestral halls and archways are the most typical, in the comprehensive use of architectural carving art, the integration of stone carving, wood carving, brick carving as a whole.
It is a pity that with the development of the times, there are fewer and fewer old houses with a strong traditional cultural atmosphere, and everyone has built the same reinforced concrete houses.
