Chapter 13 Building a House (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!) )
The days are getting into winter.
In the winter in the south, there is not much cold and cold, and there are only a few days of the number nine, and occasionally, there will be a few big or small snowfalls, which proves that winter has come.
It's still different on the mountain.
The weather began to turn cold, and at night, the cold wind blew howling, the grass was howling, the trees were barking, and the window lattices of the houses were also barking, as if they could not bear the cold silence of the cold wind.
When I looked into the distance, the distant peaks of the mountains were gradually covered by clouds, and occasionally the sun blew away a corner, and I saw the whiteness under the clouds.
Originally, the winter sun was still very warm, but when he saw that pinch of white, Zhou Yi felt cold.
He closed the doors and windows, packed up his things, brought all the small animals he could find in the house into the space, and went straight down the mountain.
After the cave, out of the cave, it is another heaven and earth.
The waterfall is misty, the water is roaring, the green trees and white flowers are in this winter valley, competing to flourish, and it is not much different from the spring.
Zhou Yi drove a small pickup truck, circled down the mountain road, and soon arrived in the town.
Entering from a fork in the left side of the farmer's market, I saw a six- or seven-story long building, and the building was written from top to bottom with four glittering big characters of "Qingshan Hospital" - Zhou Yixing went to the bottom of the hospital door, did not enter the door, turned left, stopped the car, and arrived at home.
Directly opposite the door of the hospital building, three four-story buildings of almost the same height, the same style, and even the façade are similar, is Zhou Yi's home.
To be precise, the middle one is Zhou Yi's house, the left is the second uncle's house of the Zhou family, and the right is the uncle's house.
The second uncle's house is at the entrance.
The second aunt opened a small store in front of the door, and she didn't make much money, just as a job.
The front of the door is wide, which often attracts a group of uncles and aunts to rest at the door, or simply set up a small table and play cards.
"Qing Yanzi, why are you back? I heard that you have made a lot of money farming! Didn't you go to college to learn how to farm? Uncle Tiger sat on a black bench, saw Zhou Yi who got out of the car, and teased.
"What kind of money to make, just don't starve to death!" This is Zhou's father's voice.
It has been so long since his son went home to farm, and the anger in his heart has disappeared a lot, and he no longer has a good face like before.
How much money Zhou Yi made selling chickens and peaches, someone still calculated it for him. In this small town, nothing can be hidden, and it soon spreads.
So, someone said: "It's still a bit useful to study in this university, you see, Zhou Yi farms better than others!" I heard that I made hundreds of thousands of dollars in half a year! ”
Father Zhou listened, although he still did not approve or support his children to farm, but he still had a bit of brilliance on his face.
Besides, recently the news of college students returning to their hometowns to start businesses has often been broadcast on the news, which has also given Zhou's father a few comforts, look-my child is not farming, but returning to his hometown to start a business and get rich!
Zhou Yi chatted with a few uncles for a while, then changed the topic and said, "Uncle Tiger, I want to build a house in Dongtian, what do you think?" ”
The Uncle Tiger in his mouth is the owner of the building on the right, Zhou Yi's uncle, Zhou Dahu.
"Build a house?" Uncle Tiger looked surprised, "How much money have you earned?" It's time to build a house! You're not really going to stay at home and not go out, are you? ”
The fathers all thought that Zhou Yi would come back and toss around, and when he suffered, he would continue to go out to find a job.
"Next year, I'm going to pack a little more land and a variety of things." Zhou Yi said calmly, "Now that I have twenty acres of land, I have earned more than 200,000 yuan, if I contract more land, wouldn't I earn more?" Tens of millions a year, better than in the city. ”
"It's a lot of work in the city, it's not as stressful as at home, and the cost of living is high. If you can stay at home, why go outside? ”
The uncles, together with Zhou's father, felt that the child was not crazy, but thoughtful. They looked at this child, whose skin was yellow, because he was under the sun all day long, and they only felt that there was something else in them that people couldn't help but trust.
Father Zhou no longer tried to stop it, and said: "Farming at home is much harder than working outside. You've been doing it for more than half a year, don't you feel a little bit? ”
"I'm really strange, how can you grow land since you were a child."
was mentioned by Father Zhou like this, and the strangeness in other people's hearts was also put on the bright side.
Zhou Yi grew up watching them, what does it look like, they don't know?
No matter what new technologies and new means Zhou Yi has in his hands, farming still has to be done in person after all, and the hardships involved, where do these uncles who have planted the fields not know?
There are a lot of college students in the townships, and there are more people who have gone out to work and seen the world, just these uncles, many of them have traveled from south to north, but they have never seen real literate people who make money by farming.
Zhou Yi is really hard to explain such a thing.
He just said half-jokingly: "I said that there was green smoke on our ancestral grave, and I was called back by my grandfather to farm, do you believe it or not?" ”
Everyone disagreed with Zhou Yi's ridiculous explanation, but a seed sprouted in their hearts, and when Zhou Yi really planted something, and even brought the people of the town to get rich, and even sowed his influence to the whole county, the city, the province and even the whole country, the seed planted at the beginning finally took root firmly and grew a big tree.
When people feel incredible about Zhou Yi's achievements, "green smoke on the ancestral grave and blessing of the ancestors" becomes the best explanation and comfort in their hearts.
Look, it's not that we are inferior to others, but that others are blessed by our ancestors!
Everyone is convinced that his grandfather passed on a dream to him and let him go home to farm.
In addition to this explanation, what else can be better explained, this high-achieving student does not blow the air conditioner in the big city, but goes to the countryside to farm and get rich?
"Uncle Tiger, I'm really going to build a house in Dongtian, you can give it to the staff officer." Zhou Dahu was originally a mason, but with the development and progress of society, he has now become a small contractor in the town. Small towns, hundreds of thousands of houses, large and small, half of them are made by him.
Zhou Dahu didn't answer Zhou Yi's words, looked at Zhou Dahai, and asked, "He wants to get up from the house, do you think it's okay?" ”
In the eyes of Uncle Zhou, it is still up to Zhou's father to make decisions about family affairs.
"I don't care about his own business! Don't ask me to pay him! ”
Zhou Dahu listened to Zhou's father's words and knew that he acquiesced to Zhou Yi's decision to build a house.
Zhou's mother came out of the hospital at some point, and when she heard that Zhou Yi had made money to build a house in Dongtian, she couldn't help laughing and said: "It just so happens that the family's house is leaning on the farmers' market, and it is very noisy!" In the future, when you build a house, your father and I can go to you to rest and retire. ”
Father Zhou also smiled to himself when he heard this.
Seeing this, Zhou Dahu summed up the construction of the house with Zhou Yi, and told him about the difficulties, especially the troubles in the transportation of bricks and tiles.
The so-called "one person counts the short, and the other counts the long", the people around him also came up with ideas, and soon, a way was proposed - to get a crane on the top of the waterfall and directly lift the building materials.
However, if you want to get a better crane, you have to waste a lot of money, besides, because the waterfall is extremely high, not to mention unsafe, the efficiency is slow, and it is better to bear it manually.
In the end, the discussion was still carried out in the traditional way, first widening and correcting the slope of several hundred meters long next to the waterfall, and then transporting the building materials to the entrance of the cave by car, and finally carrying it into it manually......
"If you want to build an ordinary building, there is no problem, but as you said, if you want to build a small villa with a jump, you have to find your second uncle to draw a drawing." Zhou Dahu said.
The second uncle of the Zhou family did coordination and management work in the town, and his hobby on weekdays was to write and paint, and often gave advice to others to build houses, and soon became a famous local "architectural designer". Whoever is going to build a house, if there is anything to plan, bring it to him, or simply ask him to design.
He doesn't charge money for designing houses for people, but generally speaking, the other party will inevitably send some cigarettes, alcohol or other local products to the relationship.
The second uncle of the Zhou family also accepted it happily.
Within a few days, after synthesizing Zhou Yi's own opinions, the drawings came out, which was a two-story villa with a duplex. It's a pity that there are no three-dimensional appearance model drawings, and Zhou Yi can only roughly know what it will look like after completion from the design drawings.
Zhou Yi paid part of the payment, and when the weather was not yet cold and the New Year had not yet arrived, Zhou Dahu beckoned people, prepared all the materials, and started work in a hurry......
