Chapter 117: Autumn Mood
A few days passed quickly.
After lunch, Li Zhendong sat under the old banyan tree to cool off. The weather in the deep zone still shows no signs of getting cooler in mid-October, is there autumn in the deep zone? Li Zhendong was skeptical. The sun still has a piercing feeling, and the pedestrians are wearing thin shirts, and many are wearing undershirts and short coats. It's never uncommon for people to go out for a stroll at night, and young people still drink cheap cold beers at stalls.
In his previous life, Li Zhendong had been to the river desert of Hei Province in July and August, and it was already autumn at that time. In autumn, private homes, shops, and inns are kept closed. Outside the street is deserted and sparsely populated. When you knock on the door and enter, you find that there are two worlds inside and outside, lively inside, and cold wind howling outside.
At this time, the autumn scenery of Hunan Province is beautiful, it is not the kind of autumn scenery of Xiangshan in Beijing City, where the mountains are red and the forests are dyed. The red maple trees, coxagulus trees, and chicken paw trees that gradually change color between the mountains of Hunan Province are interspersed with those unknown evergreen tree species, and at a glance, the green carpet is dotted with patches of mottled patterns. Walking in the mountains, you can slowly feel the arrival of autumn. Li Zhendong suddenly wanted to rush back to Hunan Province, how are his mother and younger brother at home?
Shaking his head, Li Zhendong took out a lot of paper from a large bag beside him. These are the house transfer agreements signed by Li Zhendong to purchase the house, and there are many supplementary agreements that Li Zhendong asked the main family to sign according to the needs of future generations. With these things, Li Zhendong is the real owner of the house, and there is no hurry to handle the procedures on the government's side.
Li Zhendong laughed to himself, when these agreements were signed, there were many surprised, puzzled, and grotesque eyes, as well as the dull eyes of the staff of the street office who accompanied him in six or seven places in a row.
A house in the village, the owner of which soon came. Uncle Huang called several leaders of the village committee, and called several old people in the village to testify, after signing the agreement, Li Zhendong paid for the goods, and the family left quickly, and it seems that there is no nostalgia for this place. After another day or two, another house in the village had just signed an agreement yesterday. The family walked around the house for a long time, and finally let out a sigh, was it helpless or relieved? Or is it both? When he left, he dug up a handful of dirt on the ground and took it away.
Liu Ping walked out of the house with a basin and a washboard. glanced at the young man sitting not far away, looking at things seriously. Liu Ping smiled lightly, walked to the edge of the well, threw the wooden bucket by the well into the well, and then slowly pulled the wooden bucket up with alternating hands. Start washing your clothes. At this time, the water used in the well was still the ancient method of throwing buckets to draw water.
The voice sounded, Li Zhendong glanced over here, this Liu Ping, he took what he joked with her seriously, and ran over to help him wash his clothes at noon every day. said it once or twice, and Li Zhendong didn't say it anymore, isn't it good for someone to help wash the clothes? Looking at Liu Ping's beautiful figure for a while, Li Zhendong remembered one thing: "Liu Ping, did you tell your family?" Let your brother come out to work, why hasn't he arrived yet? Isn't your home not far from the border between Lingnan and Jiangxi provinces? ”。 It's been days, and the telegram should have been received a long time ago.
Ah Cheng's efficiency was too high, and two more batches of martial arts books were shipped. A big house could no longer fit in, so Li Zhendong asked someone in the village to make a large number of simple wooden bookshelves, but he didn't have time to clean up the books.
Li Zhendong has been very busy these days. Busy signing the transfer agreement, it can take a lot of time. A large number of chestnuts in Hunan Province have also begun to arrive, and the time of the vehicles arriving now is not uniform. The departure time is different from each commune, and the chestnuts are directly loaded and scattered in various places. There were even two cars that broke down on the road not far from the deep area, and after repairs, they had to rush overnight, and it was almost late at night when they arrived. Li Zhendong was broken for the first time and got up to arrange.
Li Zhendong also received a telegram from Guo Yuanchuan, saying that the manpower needed had been solved, a total of eleven people, and that he would arrive in the deep area in the next few days, so that Li Zhendong could get ready.
Liu Ping raised her head, brushed her bangs with her hand, and showed a smiling face, "Write, I have already written a letter and sent it" "Write a letter?" Li Zhendong repeated. "Liu Ping, Liu Ping, you can't send a telegram?" Li Zhendong couldn't believe it, when would this letter be written?
"I don't think you're in a hurry here, so I'll write home" Liu Ping looked at the little ghost's face and didn't seem to look very good, and replied in a low voice. In fact, I don't blame Liu Ping, ordinary people are not very urgent things, who will send a telegram? Liu Ping has grown so old, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and she has not sent a telegram yet. Send a letter, and an eight-cent stamp will do the trick. A telegram costs at least more than one dollar, and the extra urgent telegram is doubled.
"You," Li Zhendong sighed. At this time, the sound of many people walking outside the yard was heard. Li Zhendong looked out, and the village chief Uncle Huang and Master Ding came with a lot of people. After Li Zhendong signed the agreement yesterday, he asked Master Ding, who was repairing the house, to bring someone over today.
Master Ding smiled and waved everyone to stop outside the courtyard, and he and the village chief walked in. Li Zhendong can't take care of Liu Ping. Uncle Huang had a smile on his face, "Xiaodong, I started to repair the house today, this wage earner Ding wants to ask you how to calculate?" "What about the usual rules?" Master Ding said two things, the same is the lump sum system, that is, the whole package, the overall project is all calculated how much is good, and the materials and labor are all in it. The other is to ask for work, the materials can be bought by Master Ding, this money is Li Zhendong, manually count the number of heads, how much money is a day for each person. This work system is divided into two types: one lunch and no lunch. The wages for those who include food are cheaper, and those who do not include food are more expensive.
Lump sum? Of course Li Zhendong is willing to do this, save trouble! The problem is that the amount of work can not be determined now, and there are many places to be repaired. I'm not familiar with this, I'm just a layman, what should I do if I suddenly think of an idea on a whim? It is easy to have disputes when talking about the re-modification of the good 龗, this is excluded. Then ask for work, yes, just ask for work! Let people watch it every day, and you can go to see it when you have time, and you can change it immediately if something is wrong. And it's a package of food, I make the food a little better, and these people have enough strength to work. As soon as a few people talk, then ask for work! Negotiate your daily salary. "Master Ding, I can give you the salary every day when I finish work, do a day's work, give a day" Master Ding hopes that this is what he wants most, laughing.
"Master Ding, let's start now, first repair people's houses, and a place to cook, and we will use them tomorrow" "Okay, I can clean up several houses today"
A crowd of people flocked to the house in the middle of the village, which was easy to get by.
