Chapter Ninety-One: Don't owe favors

The future Chongxiang Primary School is a little far away from the current primary and secondary school, built on a hill with no trees but thorns under the small stone mountain, in front of the construction site is a rice field, there is no river nearby, but there is a shallow and bottomless stream behind the construction site. Maybe Principal Liu and they fell in love here, and there was a reason why they didn't let those naughty ghosts who lived away from home and school go to the river to play in the water, so as to save some accidents.

Li Chuanmin's construction speed was very fast, and in the past ten days, not only the site has been leveled, but even the foundations of the two teaching buildings and three dormitories have been dug almost completely. This is also normal, here a little digging ten centimeters of floating soil is the bottom of the stone, not like building in other places, but also to dig more than two meters of the foundation, to see the bottom of the stone. Li Jiaming knows a little about construction, looking at the scaffolding on the construction site, it is estimated that after the first month, the first floor of the teaching building and dormitory will be completed, and these workers will not be able to live in the shed.

As the person in charge of the project, Li Chuanmin did not live in a shack with the workers, but rented two mud huts from a nearby farmhouse, one as a bedroom and storage room, and the other as an office. When Li Jiaming and the others found his second uncle, wages were being paid on the construction site, and all the workers and local farmers came out of the brightly lit office with 150 yuan or 80 yuan, and all of them had smiles on their faces.

This project is good, not only the food is good but also the salary is now, and it is said that the salary will be paid for ten days, and it will not even be brought overnight.

"Chuan Mengbo (Yaye)"

Hearing the shout, Li Chuanmeng, who was squatting there smoking and chatting with his co-workers, turned his head and saw that it was his little nephew and youngest son, so he hurriedly said to the co-workers next to him and walked over with a smile. He heard his cousin say that this project was thanks to this little nephew's idea, and after the cousin was ready to make money, he lent money to Chuan Lin to make a brick house like Chuan Tian. This kid may have come today for that.

"Let's go, go sit next door, and the people will be sent for a while. ”

"Hey", a group of children of all ages followed Li Chuan into the mud house next door, and he deliberately left the door ajar.

The house is very simple, except for a bed, piled up half a room of bagged rice and more than a dozen boxes of eggs and vegetables delivered in the evening, Principal Liu is a kind person, although the construction period is in a hurry, but the food fee of three yuan per person per day has not been discounted, and dozens of tons of cheap rice have been specially approved from the county, so that these workers can eat freely.

In these years, ordinary poverty in the countryside, seeing more than a dozen boxes of eggs, the fine dog's mind was lively, and he whispered: "Ye yes (Dad), can you eat these eggs?"

What is this called?

Li Chuanmeng slapped him on the back of the head and scolded in a low voice: "Don't be greedy, it's not like you don't have food at home! Being a man has to be a man, we adults don't have any great ability, if we don't have our duty to be a man, who will look down on us?"

This is right, Principal Liu is so good, even the people who stay on the construction site every day go home for dinner, what else can others dare to think?

The thin dog's neck shrank silently, Li Chuanmeng turned his face and smiled at his little nephew: "Jiaming, I heard that you were the head of the boy in the afternoon?"

The news also spread too quickly, but most of the people who do small jobs here are Yinzitan people and Youyuan people, so it is not difficult to understand.

"Hehe, Uncle Chuanmeng, don't laugh at me, I just scolded Teacher Liu and Teacher Wang. ”

The rough Li Chuanmeng has no reverence for his nephew, but when he sees that this guy has the ability, he will naturally look up to him.

"Listen to Principal Liu, he's a college student and knows more than you, do you know?"

"Know"

Li Jiaming agreed, and asked about his brother and sister's tuition and miscellaneous fees, and the two had to pay more than 100 yuan, and I don't know which uncle paid it out first.

"Jiaming, in the future, you and Wen Mei's elementary, junior high, and high school miscellaneous fees will not be taken care of, and your uncles will help you pay them. ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Jiaming became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Chuanmeng, this is not appropriate!"

"What's wrong with this? My brother still settles accounts, you teach a few younger siblings to read, and take them to progress, and it's too late for your uncle to be happy, how can you let one of you suffer?"

This is really not good, teaching younger brothers and sisters to study is the obligation of being an elder brother, how can this take the money of uncles?

Li Chuanmeng smiled at his nephew with relief, and said with a straight face: "Jiaming, everyone is a good family, but after all, they are separated." Speaking of conscience, if you don't help teach the fine dog and Mao Tong to study, you will be admitted to the university in the future, and the uncle will get tea money at most every year, and you will help when you are tight.

Jiaming, you don't even want Chuantian to help you chop wood, and your uncle can watch you teach them in vain? The relationship between your brothers is one thing, and the hearts of your uncles are another. That is, the uncle's ability is limited, otherwise if you go to college in the future, your uncle and uncle will help you pay the tuition, you are giving them a future!"

Li Jiaming was silent, this was the sequelae of his words that night. To owe or not to owe, falling into the ears of the uncles who don't like to owe people, that is another meaning.

After being silent for a while, Li Jiaming sighed and said: "Uncle Chuanmeng, I am young and ignorant, and sometimes I can't talk with my brain, your uncle can't deal with me, right?"

Li Chuanmin, who had finished paying the wages to the workers, came in, and just heard Li Jiaming's words, and after a little thought, he knew what the two uncles and nephews were talking about, and he also touched his head and said with a smile: "Mo Duoxiang, what you said that day made sense." Being a man should be like that, not only to know how to repay the kindness but also to be able to settle accounts, your own family is your own family, and the accounts must be calculated clearly, so as not to hurt your feelings.

In the past, the second uncle was confused, always his own family, and heard the old man say, 'Don't publicize the ugliness of the family', as a result, the family is often noisy. ”

As soon as he said this, Li Jiaming had no choice but to accept the kindness of his uncles, and after seven or eight years of discipline, if he really rejected their wishes, it is estimated that they would feel uncomfortable. It's easy to pay back the money you owe, it's not good to pay back the favors, and no matter how close the clansmen are, they are also clansmen, after all, they are no longer a family that eats in a rice retort.

is a brother at home, and when you go out to do things, you have to talk about the rules, Li Chuanmin came in, and Li Chuanmeng, who was a cousin, went out with a bunch of boys to play. Li Chuanmeng heard his cousin say that his little nephew was terrible, just relying on a few words of red mouth and white teeth, he dared to ask for 30% of the shares for him, and it is estimated that this kid came over at night for that matter. Chuanmin said that the thirty percent of the shares were all bought by him by borrowing money from Boss Wang, but Jiaming is so smart and not Chuanmin's biological cub, it is estimated that he must have a share of the thirty percent shares.

When the others were gone, Li Chuanmin closed the door and whispered with a smile: "Jiaming, Boss Wang has done all the ideas you came up with before." I heard them say that the township is trying to renovate that street, and as long as it is a brick house with more than three floors, and if it is done well within a year, the land can be cheaper to 30 yuan per square meter. ”

Ah? And such a good thing? Those leaders in the countryside didn't have their brains kicked out by donkeys, right? The land on the street was actually sold for 30 yuan a square meter?

Li Jiaming was stunned, Li Chuanmin thought that his nephew was too young after all, although he was smart and precocious, but some things might not be too far away, and explained in a low voice.

"Jiaming, the second uncle thinks so. Your family is not as good as ours, you have a house to live in, and you have to go out to study in the future, so you can rent a house on the street, and it is convenient for you to go to junior high school in the future. When you are admitted to the university, you can sell it, which is equivalent to saving money for future studies. Jiaming, the money is becoming less and less valuable now, and it is better to sell the house in the bank than to save it in the future, what do you say?

Besides, at the beginning, you talked to Wang Zhenguo about a guaranteed house, and now although the price of materials has risen again, the most you can do is to make up for the difference in the price of those lands. The second uncle can earn tens of thousands of yuan this time, it's all because of your help, and the second uncle can help you with those thousands of yuan!"

The meaning of the second uncle, Li Jiaming understood that it was better to make the house in Huangniping than to come to the street, and if his family couldn't get the money, he would help him out, and he would thank him for himself. He just couldn't believe for a moment that there was such a stupid official in the world. In another ten years, no, even if it is five years, I am afraid that those plots of land will be difficult to buy for 300 yuan per square meter!

Hey, no, those who are officials are not stupid, but want to be crazy for political achievements. is also, an iron-clad official, as long as he has made political achievements, how can he manage the life and death of the next office!

Fortunately, what I talked to Lao Wang about was a dry share, guaranteeing a three-story brick house, and now as long as I make up the land price of three or four thousand yuan, my own house is equal to a cash cow that can produce fruit for 70 years.

It's a pity that I'm still too poor, otherwise I would make a lot of money by making a row of houses on the street, and selling them in two years!
