At 3 p.m., the truck left the Grange freight yard, and at 4:30 the books were loaded into the train wagon, a total of 5,000 Xinhua and 8,000 modern Han.

The brothers' luggage was also loaded onto the train, and Xitong, Dong Biao, and Duan Lei stayed in the freight yard to take the train to Zhengcheng at 8 p.m.

Liu Minghui said that the house was about to be completed, and Li Lin planned to go home to see it first, and then drive back to Zhengcheng Bookstore overnight.

In the car, Liu Pandi enlightened Li Lin softly, "Lan County is a small county town, and it is impossible for someone to get married every day, don't worry about it." ”

Li Lin held her hand and said, "It's not that I'm upset, it's just that I don't like strangers to ride in my car." ”

Liu Minghui coughed twice and turned his head to look out the window, Chu Fei was concentrating on driving, and Liu Pandi was a little shy and wanted to pull her hand out.

The people of Lanxian County are very conservative, and the little couple does not dare to hold hands on the street, and they will be scolded by the old ladies for being immoral.

Liu Pandi continued to comfort: "The bride earns 200 yuan once, and many people can't earn 200 yuan a month, so don't worry about it, people who don't have a car can't earn this money if they want to." ”

Li Lin was amused by her and said: "My car can buy a house in Zhengcheng, I have inquired, the house price in Zhengcheng is up to 2000, and I am considering whether to buy a house in Zhengcheng next year." ”

"It's better to buy it in the capital." Liu Minghui said: "The neighbor's courtyard house has an area of 200 square meters, and the overall area is 400 square meters, and the price is 800,000 yuan and 4,000 yuan per square meter, which is 2,000 yuan more expensive than Zhengcheng." ”

Hearing this, Li Lin was moved, it is said that the courtyard house in the 21st century is billed in 100 million, and if you buy it now, you will definitely make a profit in the future.

So I made up my mind and said, "Then set a small goal and try to buy your neighbor's courtyard house next year." ”

Liu Minghui was also moved, and said: "If you buy that courtyard, my grandfather will definitely agree to your marriage with the second sister." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Pandi's face was gloomy, "It doesn't matter if you buy a courtyard house or not, just have a place to live." ”

Liu Minghui continued to flicker: "To be honest, grandpa doesn't think that the second brother has no education, he just doesn't want you to marry away from home." ”

These words made Liu Pandi very angry, and she wanted to reprimand but was stopped by Li Lin.

Li Lin said: "You all don't say a word, I will do my best to make money to try to buy it." ”

Liu Minghui said very seriously: "As long as you buy it sincerely, I will save all my salary and lend it to you next year, how about it?" ”

"That's a good feeling!" Li Lin laughed and said, "I'm not for anything else, just to give your sister a wedding with the blessings of the whole family." ”

Liu Pandi was very moved and took the initiative to shake Li Lin's hand, "Don't be pressured, grandpa can't sway me." ”

Li Lin patted her hand, a man has to do two big things, build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, and build a house for his son to marry a daughter-in-law.

When passing by Yu Yan Middle School, Liu Pandi didn't get out of the car, and wanted to accompany Li Lin more, so the car drove directly to Li Lin's house.

The two-storey cottage has been built, the entire front face is covered with white tiles, and water and electricity are being installed inside.

Recently, Li Dashan has been laughing numbly, and he goes to the new building to walk around when he has nothing to do, and there are his footprints on every inch of the floor.

Zhang Cui pulled Liu Pandi and didn't let go, feeling closer than seeing Li Mu, and her mouth was full of Nier, Nier.

Liu Minghui gave a detailed introduction to the progress of the project, "After walking the water and electricity, we began to paint the walls and paste the floor tiles, and you can move in after installing the doors and windows." ”

Li Lin asked Li Dashan, "How much money is left to build a house?" ”

Li Dashan said: "There are still 22,000 left, and Minghui said that there will be about 15,000 left after completion." ”

Li Lin asked Liu Minghui, "Is it enough to buy furniture and appliances?" ”

"Not enough." Liu Minghui said: "Sony color TV 9,800 yuan, Jinsong washing machine 2,280 yuan, Mitsubishi air conditioner 6,400 yuan. ”

Li Lin gritted his teeth and said: "Buy all the furniture first, you must buy color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines, and then look at the air conditioners." ”

Liu Pandi suddenly said: "According to the marriage rules of Lan County, the man buys the electricity and the woman buys the furniture, and I buy the furniture." ”

"Nell, it's too early!" Zhang Cui smiled and said, "The furniture was bought before marriage, and you haven't decided on a relationship yet." ”

Li Dashan said: "I will buy furniture from your Aunt Cui, and you and Erlin will find a way to buy appliances." ”

Li Sen said: "I have six or seven thousand yuan in savings, and if the money for household appliances is not enough, you can tell me." ”

Li Lin smiled and said, "Keep your money for me to marry my sister-in-law, and when the house is built, I will let Chu Fei pick you up and help me for a few days." ”

Next, Liu Pandi accompanied Zhang Cui to the kitchen to cook, the men sat down to chat, and Chu Fei held the basin to wash the car under the door lamp.

The family ate around the table, Li Lin accompanied his old father to have a few drinks, and Liu Minghui, who was in a good mood, got drunk directly.

Li Lin carried him into the bedroom, packed his luggage and sent Liu Pandi home, and then drove back to Zhengcheng at night.

The G30 Lianhuo Expressway has not yet been built, and Lanxian County can only take the national highway to Zhengcheng, plus the driving speed is very slow at night, and it is already two o'clock in the morning when I return to the bookstore street.

Li Lin didn't want to disturb the brothers' rest, so he found a hotel nearby to deal with it for the night, and checked out early the next morning.

There was a lady who set up a stall at the intersection of the bookstore street, and Li Lin bought a lighter, two pairs of socks, and seven-cent colored butterfly cigarettes with her.

In order to save 800,000 yuan to buy a courtyard house, Li Lin decided to carry forward the style of hard work again and put 3 packs of cigarettes in his pocket.

13 yuan of Hongta Mountain courtesy leader, 4.5 yuan of Baiyu cigarette courtesy to customers, 7 cents of color butterfly left for themselves to smoke.

The eldest lady said in a hoarse voice: "Why does the young man buy socks so often?" Isn't it to see me take pity on my business? ”

Li Lin said: "It's not to take care of, my feet are sweaty and smelly, and my socks have to be thrown away after wearing them for 3 days at most." ”

The eldest lady waved her hand again and again and said, "You can't do this, the socks must be washed every day, and the landlord and the old man throw socks every day." ”

The good guy went directly to the line, Li Lin felt that this old lady was very cute, smiled and got in the car and left.

The bookstore had already opened, and Bi Kun and Duan Daqing went out to greet Li Lin.

Li Lin asked, "Daqing, how are things going?" ”

Duan Daqing put on a mask of pain and complained: "The official master's shelf is too big, and we can't see the main master." ”

Bi Kun said: "In the past two days, Daqing and I have been the ball, and we were kicked by this director to that section chief, and our heads were dizzy. ”

Duan Daqing said: "Going to the bus company is also a wall everywhere, and there is no choice but to go to the train station to copy the bus stop sign." ”

This is a history of blood and tears, Li Lin looked at Duan Daqing's homework book, which had seven or eight school addresses written on it.

"It's not your fault." Li Lin sighed helplessly, this is Zhengcheng, not Lan County, and the public relations work has a long way to go.

If you look for a leader to do things in Lan County, don't say anything if it doesn't work out, you can definitely see people, but in Zhengcheng, your eyes are black.

Li Lin said: "In the afternoon, we have to get the goods to Zhengcheng, and wait for the two of you to go to the Liulin Railway Freight Yard to help Xiaoxi and them." ”

After explaining that Chu Fei drove to the Education Commission, he had to find a way to get the addresses of primary and secondary schools in the city, and it was unrealistic to rely on the brothers to collect them one by one.

Keep asking for directions all the way, it's really uncomfortable without navigation, Zhengcheng is too big, and passers-by don't know the way to the Municipal Education Commission.

Passing by a bridge, I saw an old man sitting on a horse and listening to a commentary, with a cardboard next to him, and a pen writing 5 yuan to lead the way.

Li Lin: "Uncle, how much does it cost to go to the Education Commission?" ”

Uncle: "That's too far, you give 6 yuan." ”

Li Lin: "4 yuan, if you go, you will get in the car." ”

Uncle: "Okay, let's take a foreign car today." ”
