Chapter 14 Plans
Lin Zhihong, who sent money and letters, felt that the burden on his body was much lighter. Although the money is not much, and it is still far from the goal of starting a house, all this is already on the established path. Out of the post office, Lin Zhihong felt that he was fighting again. Come on! For the wife, for the children, for the house!
By the time the family received the money, it was already October. Liu Xiaoying took the money and the letter and went back to the old house. "Daddy, what Zhihong means is to ask us to prepare the materials for building the house first. When he comes back for the Chinese New Year, he will have the money to build a new house. You see, are we going to get ready? ”
Liu Xiaoying's heart was excited and sad at the same time. After getting married, the couple has never been separated for such a long time. But real life is like this, you can't always see that the neighbors around you have built brick houses one by one, and your own family still lives in thatched houses? It's really going to be like this, and you're going to be laughed to death when you go out.
Since receiving the remittance order from the post office, Liu Xiaoying has been heartbroken, with so much money, and I don't know how my man earned it through hardship. I don't know if my man has eaten well outside or if he has been affected. When I was at home, I had to open my mouth for food and stretch out my hands for clothes, and although I had to work hard outside every day, at least I had a hot meal to eat when I got home. Now when you're outside, don't say that you have a hot meal when you get home, it's a question of whether you can cook the food well.
Mr. Lin didn't know anything, and after listening to his daughter-in-law read the letter and saw the remittance slip, he also felt heartache that it was not easy for the child to make money externally. But everyone wants to live a good life, and if you don't work hard and don't sweat, you can't get it. "Okay, I'll go with you to find a village chief in a while, and go get the permit first. After getting the quasi-construction permit, we will order the materials one by one. ”
It is also convenient to apply for this quasi-construction permit, and Mr. Lin took Liu Xiaoying to the village committee for a walk, and the smoke that should be made is smoking, and the generation is being placed. So after walking down in a circle, the matter of the quasi-construction permit was implemented. "Uncle Lin, don't worry, the matter of the quasi-construction permit will be wrapped up in me, and when it is done, I will call you to send it over. Do you think that's okay? "In terms of seniority, the village chief wants to call Old Man Lin an uncle. The people in the village are more or less intimate.
"Okay! Then bother you. When it's free, sit at home. Drink two drinks with me. Zhihong works outside. Zhicheng and Zhifei are also rare to come back, and it's not interesting for me to drink alone. You're here, the two of you drink together, that's the excitement! "Old Man Lin spoke one by one, realistically, but also with affection.
"Okay! I'll come in two days, and then Uncle Lin, you need to get some good wine. If it weren't for the wrong time, I would really like to drink some old liquor made by Aunt Lin herself. "The village chief used to drink the old liquor made by Grandma Lin, and the taste was one of the best in the village. However, when it is winter, I must go and sit more.
The old man took Liu Xiaoying back to the old house. The old man is illiterate, and Liu Xiaoying remembers everything. Liu Xiaoying took a small notebook from home. I wrote it down the same. Now cement and yellow sand are in demand. 92 yuan a ton for cement bags and 86 yuan a ton for bulk. Yellow sand is about 40 yuan a ton, stone is 35 yuan a ton, and red machine standard bricks are 800 yuan per 10,000 pieces.
"Xiaoying, let's order cement and yellow sand first. These two things are ordered, and we will order stones and red bricks. "Pick the important ones first. The cement and yellow sand were bought, as long as they were well preserved, they did not take up space and would not deteriorate. Bricks or something, when the time comes, it is okay to ask people to go around, and it is okay to ask for it at any time.
"I know, I worked the night shift in the Ming Dynasty, so I'll go and see it during the day. If I can get it in line, it's best, if I can't, I'll run a few more times. Liu Xiaoying doesn't feel tired at all now, although she has just gotten off the night shift. I just feel that there is an inexhaustible amount of strength in my body. Liu Xiaoying calculated the family's savings.
In addition to the little money sent back by Lin Zhihong, Liu Xiaoying's salary for most of the past half a year has also been saved, and it is almost 300. That adds up to eighteen hundred. You can buy 20,000 pieces of red bricks alone. If you buy cement or something, you can buy more. When Liu Xiaoying took a nap in the afternoon, she couldn't sleep. But in the end, I still fell asleep with strong excitement.
In the old house, Grandma Lin was cleaning up the vegetables she got from the field, and she was talking to Daddy Lin: "Old man, Zhicheng hasn't been back for a long time. Do you think I'm going to check it out? ”
Old man Lin also helped clean up the dishes, these dishes were picked up from the fresh vegetables in the field, according to Grandma Lin's meaning, I was going to make some dried vegetables and send some to Lin Chenghong, whether it was cooking vegetables or making wontons, it was very good. "Zhicheng didn't come back, so there must be something about him. Besides, Zhicheng is recruiting sons-in-law, so it's not good to come back often. ”
That's right, Lin Zhicheng is the son who got married. There is no way around it. At that time, Lin Zhicheng was introduced by someone and went on a blind date with Li Feng. The two are looking at each other, but the woman's conditions are a bit difficult. There are two girls in the woman's life, and the old man wants to find a son-in-law for his own girl in order to support the door.
Since ancient times, most of these door-to-door sons-in-law have been unsatisfactory. became someone's son-in-law, for the man, this is one less son and one more daughter. Usually the etiquette or something, it is all according to the treatment of the daughter. To put it mildly, in the future, Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin will pass away, and Na Zhicheng only needs to follow his daughter's courtesy.
At first, Zhicheng was reluctant, but then I don't know how to talk about it again. Grandpa Lin is an enlightened person, since you yourself are willing, then go for it. And then this family business is done. Now Lin Zhicheng and Li Feng are feeling good. You have to take each other with you wherever you go. It's just that Grandma Lin has been reluctant, and she always hopes that Lin Zhicheng can come back a few more times, this is the standard fragrance and smell. If you live together every day, maybe what the relationship will be!
Lin Zhifei's arrival was far away. Didn't you learn tailoring with someone a year ago? Wherever the master goes, this apprentice naturally has to follow. It is said that Lin Zhifei is now doing it in SH with his master. The master opened a shop there, and Lin Zhifei helped the master solicit business in the store, and then did some corner work. In Lin Zhifei's words, I am looking forward to learning more now and making money as soon as possible.
Grandma Lin sighed: "Old man, take a look. What's the use of giving birth to so much. None of them can come to me. If it weren't for a younger sister to accompany us, I'm afraid that the two of us would be tired of seeing each other face each other every day. ”
"What do you sigh, every man has his own life, some are officials, and some are rich. Don't be in a hurry. Children and grandchildren are at ease, children and grandchildren are happy, we are so old, don't think about it so much. If you eat something, you can eat it, and if you have to use it, you can use it. Anyway, I'm with you! "Old Man Lin has always been open.
"You've got to think about it. I just can't think about it. "Grandma Lin is still a little unhappy.
