Chapter 26: The First Sight of the Shack
♧ Hua Baji asked us where we were going to live?
When we were silent, Hua Baji began to speak again:
"Let me tell you, the rent in the area of Upper Black Ridge is expensive! I often check the temporary residence permit! You have just arrived, and there is no guarantee from the company's factory, so it is difficult to get a temporary residence permit at once! I don't have a temporary residence permit, and if I get caught, I will be sent back to my hometown!
Otherwise, I suggest you stay where we live for the time being! There are shacks built in the lychee orchards of the locals, and the water is from the mountain springs, and a little electricity bill! The rent is several times cheaper than in other places! That's a hundred dollars a month!
Oh! I forgot to tell you that there is also a husband and wife from Wanjia Village, who everyone knows, and the barber who used to open a barber shop opposite the primary school.
He is still doing his old job, carrying a barber box every day to go from village to village to give other people's haircuts, and he knows a lot of locals! Anything, he can help.
His wife, Shi Yinyin, put a sewing machine and a three-thread machine in front of the store at the intersection, and changed the zipper for others, modified and modified, mended the seams, and the last button business was also good......"
Tang Jiajiao and I are still thinking about it, and we have not yet agreed to Hua Baji's kind invitation.
Hua Baji continued: "There are several acquaintances who live there, such as Master Tan Gong, who used to play cotton to make cotton quilts, and his wife Mu Guiyin, who works in the factory, all live there.
There are also Yun Manliang who beats tofu, Qiang Ma Gong, Rough Craftsman, Sheng Pingzhi, Hei Dada, Huang Mazi, and the plasterer who puts chickens, and makes steamed buns and fried fritters and sends them to the canteen of the construction site, and several other families are scattered in this area!
There are many fellow villagers, and there is a lot of information, looking for a job, living, eating breakfast, going home, carpooling, etc. Go ahead!
The biggest advantage is that recently, this local helped us get a temporary residence permit, and we don't have to worry about going out and checking in the middle of the night!
There happened to be a fellow who came home and had something to do, and he retired from a shack, you go to live, just right!
You can cook and eat by yourself, just buy a set of second-hand liquefied gas tanks, liquefied gas stoves or other furniture, and come back! Don't pay for a penny for water! It's a little paradise for part-time workers! ”
Hua Ba lobbied a few times, but it really attracted me and Tang Jiajiao, two newcomers!
Especially me, I was very resolute, and I repeatedly said to Tang Jiajiao: "Jiajiao, let's just live in a shed first, first bitter and then sweet!" When we stabilize our workplace, it's not too late to move! Is it good? Besides, if you can save it, you can save it! It's going to cost money everywhere! ”
Actually, my central idea is to save money! Save money for Tang Jiajiao!
After all, my living expenses and so on are all cushioned by Tang Jiajiao, a bold classmate, and I am still quite uncomfortable and mindful!
If you change someone casually and want you to spend other people's money when you are old, you will feel uncomfortable on your face and in your heart!
Of course I'm going to work hard to make money! However, before making money, of course, it is necessary to save money!
Tang Jiajiao saw that my attitude was so firm, and maybe he was also worried about my self-esteem, so he nodded and agreed: "Then, let's go to the shed and have a look!" If it's basically the same, let's stay for a few days, and when we find a job, it's not too late to move! ”
With the help of the enthusiastic Hua Baji, there was a boy who helped carry the luggage, which was much easier! We soon came to a shed in the lychee forest.
There are a lot of things that you don't know if you don't look at them, and you just feel scared when you look at them!
The simplicity of this shed is really beyond the scope of my imagination and Tang Jiajiao!
The shed house is to first erect a cement pillar pile or wooden pile at intervals around it, build a few brick stacks, build a roof frame with long bamboo wood, and then use bamboo strips to twist the asbestos tile about 1.5 meters long and about 80 centimeters wide with wire clamps to enclose this circle into a house!
When a wind blows, it will come in through the crack without care!
The door of the shed is generally suspended with an asbestos tile, put on the wire, and find an iron rod and a wooden stick inside, which is considered a door bolt! If you go out, hang a lock outside, which can also prevent children from getting in and mischievous! As for anti-theft, then you don't dare to fully believe the resistance of the shed house!
The shed that Hua Baji took us in was built against a few lychee trees, and it looked very sturdy.
The light inside is very dim, although there are a few small windows cut out in several parts, and in broad daylight, you still have to turn on an electric light.
There is also a bathroom and toilet inside, so you don't have to go to the public toilet.
The water was indeed mountain spring water, and the water in the bucket was crystal clear. There is a water pipe and a faucet in the bathroom, and the water is long-term to let it flow a little out.
Hua Baji introduced: "This mountain spring water, just use it!" However, remember that this faucet does not have to be turned off until it dies! It is necessary to leave a gap for the mountain spring water to flow out, because there is no storage such as a water tower reservoir, and I am afraid that the pressure will be too great, so that the water pipe will explode! Don't forget! ”
Tang Jiajiao and I hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, okay!" Be sure to remember! ”
This shack has been lived in by fellow villagers before, and it should be simple or picked up or bought, and the furniture is quite complete. It's just a set of liquefied gas tanks and stoves. It is estimated that the fellow bought it for someone else when he went back.
Other pots and pans, chopsticks, spoons, and spatulas are all available. Wash it clean, and you can make do with it.
That bed is not the Simmons mattress we see now, the bandage bed, the spring bed, and the solid wood bed!
This bed is a large wooden packaging cabinet thrown away by those factories, transported back, removed all the iron and iron splices on it, filled the flat place flat, found cardboard old newspapers or something, and then laid a single sponge foam board or something on it, and prepared a quilt, which is a complete bed.
I took a look at the general situation and said to Tang Jiajian: "Jiajiao, should we go out and buy a set of liquefied gas stoves, buy some oil and rice, buy a set of quilts, and buy two sets of toiletries to come back?" ”
Tang Jiajiao looked at the scene and said, "Let's buy a set of quilts for the time being, buy two sets of toiletries and come back, and the rest will be delayed first!" ”
The money was all out of Tang Jiajiao's pocket, and she said that if she didn't buy it, she wouldn't buy it, and I was embarrassed to force her to buy it. However, I think it seems to be ......
Tang Jiajiao saw my puzzled look and explained: "Some items are not going to be bought in a hurry for the time being, but they have my plan!" ”
