After seeing Cheng Xiong raise a glass, the old farmer and his wife also raised their glasses and toasted the wine in the glass together. Cheng Xiong is not as bureaucratic as others, and when he meets the croppers, he is like meeting relatives, and he chats more happily and energetically.

"Thank you, man. Listen to you, 'Isn't it?' The old woman next to the old farmer said, "What a name! It's still a compound surname. ”

"Thank you, auntie!" Chengxiong respects the way of humility very much.

The old farmer also asked, "That Chengxiong, which school did you graduate from?" ”

Cheng Xiong replied: "Linhai University of Land and Resources! ”

The old farmer nodded and said, "It turned out that he graduated from the bachelor's class, how many people are there in the family now?" Have you ever started a family? ”

"I have parents at home, I am the third in the family, and now I am married, this is not to buy land from you, just to buy land and prepare to build a house and start a business."

The old woman next to her also smiled and said, "Haha~ It turns out that he is also a person who has a family, no wonder he looks much more stable than ordinary young people, he is really young and promising, if only our children could have half of yours." ”

Cheng Xiong heard that the two old men also had children, so he asked, "So where are the children of the second old man working now?" ”

The old farmer sighed and said: "Hey~ Those are two unproductive things, the eldest is a son, he learned to repair cars, opened a façade in the town, married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to two babies, his daughter-in-law and my mother-in-law always do not deal with each other, our old couple sold out of land, just to take refuge in them, and I don't know if the future can be a good life; The second is a girl who goes to work in the south. When I was working, I met my current uncle, and now I live in the south. ”

Hearing the sighs of the two old men, Cheng Xiong comforted: "It's okay, when is it now?" Everyone else's family is this man, standing at thirty, not confused at forty, and knowing his fate at fifty. If you can't keep the son and uncle of the second elder, you will be developed, and you will be able to bring blessings to the second elder. ”

"Maybe, I hope so......"

……

In this way, Cheng Xiong could talk with the two old men for a long time, until he drank the wine, and Cheng Xiong talked to the two old men about the price of land.

The drunken Cheng Xiong said: "Uncle~ You~ Just your piece of land, you won't sell it for 3,000 yuan!" I just want to ask you, is your land really worth that much money? Just ask you if it's worth it, right? ”

The uncle also smiled and said: "Isn't that also like yours, everyone is leaving, can't you put more money in your pocket?" You're young, too, and you still have a lot of time to make money! I'm selling Lin, it's equivalent to having no way to eat, don't you want me to buy more money? ”

Cheng Xiong nodded and said, "Uncle~You~This~That's right~ It's not easy, in fact, it's not easy for all of us, I just got married last year, and I just joined the job, and I don't have a lot of money in my hand." I married my daughter-in-law, but I have been living in my parents' house, I want to have my own house, and I want to do my own business. Uncle, you can do it when you are old, help me as a junior! ”

The old farmer saw the offspring in front of him and chatted with him for so long, he was still persistent, and his heart was a little touched, and he also remembered that when he was young, he wanted to make a difference, but no noble person could help him, and in the end, he was still a farmer when he was old. After thinking about his own experience, and then looking at the person in front of him, he said to Cheng Xiong: "Cheng Xiong, I think you are a very real person, and you will definitely be able to make a big difference in the future!" So the price of that piece of land, let's both take a step back, you give me 2500, and I will sell that piece of land to you, how about you? ”

Cheng Xiong saw that there was finally a turnaround, so he said to the old farmer: "Okay! Uncle! Let's make a decision, 2500, you sell the land to me, we can decide. ”

"Definitely!"

Cheng Xiong saw that the price had been almost negotiated, and he also said boldly: "Okay!" Definitely! Then he took the glass and said, "Come!" Let's go again! ”

"One more!"

The two of them touched the glass, and then they all went away, and the deal was done!

In this way, Cheng Xiong and Yan Qing began to struggle together! Men stand in their thirties, and the most prominent thing about this establishment is to establish a career. Cheng Xiong and Yan Qing first scraped together 2,500 yuan and bought the old farmer's field. Then Cheng Xiong continued to raise money, and borrowed some money from relatives, friends, colleagues and classmates. Yan Qing's mother's family, Yan Qing also borrowed it all over again.

In the end, the two of them finally scraped together more than 8,000 yuan and could build a house. Cheng Xiong went to contact the brick factory, the mason, and the carpenter. Because I also know some architectural knowledge, I began to prepare to build a house.

When the fourth child of the Duanmu family (hereinafter referred to as Duanmu's hometown) was in high school in Chengxiong, he finished junior high school, and he no longer continued to study, and was assigned to work in the machinery factory in Sun Town. He was also very happy after hearing that his third brother was going to build a house, and someone in the Duanmu family finally wanted to leave his hometown to build a house outside.

So he would go up to the land that Chengxiong bought to take a look and discuss with Chengxiong how to build the house.

"Third brother, I personally feel that your foundation should be ...... like this."

"Third brother, I think it would be nice if you built such a high iron fence like the old Zhang family......"

"Third brother, how much is the right height for your house to build......

Whether the house has started to be built yet, he can also discuss it with Chengxiong. Many years later, China was called the "infrastructure madman" by the world, which is enough to prove how much the people who grew up in that era loved construction.

Eventually, in July, the school began its summer vacation. Feng, Wan's mother, and Yan Qing all began to have free time, and there were people who had free time; Wood, steel bars, cement, sand, red bricks, green tiles and other materials were also prepared, and Cheng Xiong began to build a house.

The first step is to lay the foundation, choosing the boundary in the center of the land that can also be aligned with the neighbors. Start with the foundation refilling, first put stones in it, then pour sand on top of it, until the foundation is high enough to build a house on it.

Then there was the building of the wall, which required the use of local bricklayers and carpenters to wire and lay bricks on the wall. The winter in the Northeast is generally very cold, so the outside is generally built with a relatively thick Sanqi wall, and the internal wall generally needs to be load-bearing, so it is generally built into two or four walls. There is the kitchen, this is the bedroom, and there is usually a hole in the wall between the kitchen and the bedroom 20 centimeters from the ground. That is the only way to get the heat source of the kang, and it must be reserved in the early stage of building the house, that is, in the stage of building the wall. How big should the windows be, the windows of the general northern people are designed to be just right, not big, and can't. Chatting will affect heating in winter, and chatting will affect the lighting of the house. And the orientation of the house is also very particular, sitting north to south, sitting south to north, this kind of house is called: "main house". If you sit west facing east, or sit east facing west, then this kind of house is called a "wing room".

As soon as the villagers in the third group of Desheng heard that the newcomers were going to build houses, they began to help them work together one after another. 166 Reading Network
