It was time to go to the brick factory to buy tiles, and if he could, Zhou Li'an wanted to buy these things back together.

She calculated that her house would need about 5,500 tiles.

The price of a tile is the same as that of an adobe brick.

Zhou Li'an is a man of action, and after deciding to buy tiles, she asked Zhou's mother to help her cook a lunch meal tomorrow that night.

The next morning, I went out without breakfast.

She didn't know if she could find cement and lime and how long it would take, so she decided to go early.

This time, she didn't ask the village chief to borrow a bicycle.

In the end, it's someone else's thing, and it's not good to borrow it all the time.

In addition, when she came back, the brickyard had an ox cart for delivering tiles, and she could take that cart back when the time came.

But when Zhou Li'an was walking on the road, she once again confirmed her mind - when she has money, she must buy a bicycle.

Fortunately, there is a spiritual spring, although it is not too tiring to walk for three hours.

After arriving at the county seat, the hungry Zhou Li'an first went to the state-run restaurant for breakfast.

·

Today's state-run restaurant serves steamed buns, soy milk and shredded pork noodles with sauerkraut.

Zhou Li'an thought about it and asked for a soy milk and four meat buns.

At this time, the buns cost three cents a piece, two buns cost one or two food stamps, and soy milk costs two cents a piece without food stamps.

Zhou Li'an couldn't eat anything with a bun and a bowl of soy milk.

She paid to pack the remaining three buns and went to the brickyard.

The doors of the brick factory were open, and the workers inside could be seen busy from afar.

Zhou Li'an walked in, found the uncle reading the newspaper in the guard's room, and said almost as follows: "Has the uncle had breakfast?" ”

"What's wrong with you girl?"

"Uncle, please have breakfast."

Zhou Li'an smiled and handed over the packed buns.

The uncle took a look, and even though he had breakfast, he didn't refuse and accepted it.

The uncle put the things aside and asked, "What are you here to buy?" ”

"I'm here to buy tiles."

"Done."

The uncle got up and walked out of the guard room, "I just don't have anything to do at this time, I'll take you over." ”

"Thank you, uncle."

After Zhou Li'an finished speaking, he saw the uncle wave his hand and said, "After receiving your breakfast, you have to do something, right?" ”

Zhou Li'an laughed twice, chatted with the uncle for a few more words, and then asked: "Uncle, do you know where to buy cement and lime in our county?" ”

"You want to buy it?" The uncle glanced at Zhou Li'an and asked rhetorically.

Zhou Li'an nodded.

"How much?"

Zhou Li'an's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The uncle's tone inexplicably gave her the feeling that the uncle had a way.

As for the dosage –

When Zhou Li'an came this time, he calculated it.

Although the original owner had never bought cement, her family had developed real estate before she came here, and she happened to know the amount of cement.

She is going to lay ten millimeters of cement on the ground, mixed with sand, and fifty catties of cement can be about fifteen square meters.

The area of cement in her home is forty square meters, so she needs one hundred and fifty catties.

It's the amount of lime, she doesn't know very well.

She only knew that the area that needed to be lime was about 110 square meters.

The thickness of lime is only half a millimeter, which is about the same, and the amount should not be large.

"Cement needs one hundred and fifty catties, lime I use to paint the wall, one hundred and ten square meters, I don't know how much I need."

Hearing Zhou Li'an say this, the uncle automatically helped Zhou Li'an figure it out.

"One hundred and ten square meters will require one hundred and ten square meters of lime, which is almost twenty yuan."

Zhou Li'an's eyes brightened, "Then uncle, do you know where to buy it?" ”

"There's a new cement factory next door, and there's lime for sale."

The uncle said: "But people don't sell it in small quantities." ”

Zhou Li'an: "......"

She knew she was the Zero.

But she really wanted cement and lime!

Just when Zhou Li'an decided to think of a way by himself, he heard the uncle say: "But if you are lucky today, I have an acquaintance in the cement factory and can help you buy it." ”

The uncle turned his feet and walked outside the factory, "You go with me to buy cement first, and then move here, and when the time comes, you can buy bricks and have an ox cart to help you pull them back together." ”

It's a twist and turn.

"Thank you, uncle, you are such a good person, good people will be blessed."

"Harm."

The uncle was a little embarrassed by Zhou Li'an's words, "This is what I can do, it's not easy for you to buy these as a little girl, so you should accumulate virtue." ”

"I really met a good guy today."

In this way, Zhou Li'an bought three bags of cement for 50 catties and 3 bags of cement at the newly opened cement factory next door, spent 30 yuan, and bought 20 yuan of lime.

Worried that Zhou Li'an and a girl would not be able to move, the uncle also borrowed a board car from the cement factory to help Zhou Li'an transport things to the brick factory.

Zhou Li'an originally thought that it would be very troublesome to buy these two things, but he didn't expect it to be done like this.

·

5,500 tiles were ordered at the brick and tile factory.

The ox carts of the brick and tile factories could only carry 3,800 tiles at a time.

"The next trip has less things, just enough to help you transport the cement back." Uncle said.

Zhou Li'an thanked her again, and then followed the ox cart for the first time, she was going to show the way.

On the second trip, the ox cart master helped her transport the cement and other things back.

Zhou Li'an wanted to leave the ox cart master of the brick and tile factory for a meal before leaving, but the other party drank a bowl of sugar water and left on the grounds that he still had to work.

It was already afternoon when I got home, but Zhou Li'an, who had solved the matter, was still very happy.

She felt that today's uncle and master had helped her a lot, and Zhou Li'an was going to bring something to the uncle and master next time she went to the county seat to express her gratitude.

Let's deliver the food in the space.

People in the city don't have their own land like people in the countryside, they all buy groceries outside.

This thing is not expensive, but it can also convey your gratitude.

Zhou Li'an didn't expect what her unintentional decision would bring to her in the future.

But that's all for later.

·

From that day on, it was as if someone had pressed the accelerator button.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Li'an's house was repaired.

Zhou Li'an began to settle the wages for Uncle Cheng.

Six people, seven cents a day, worked for half a month, a total of sixty-three yuan.

It costs $86.5 to buy adobe bricks.

Then there's the furniture coming in.

Two beds, a wardrobe, a desk, a large box for clothes, a washstand, two wooden chairs that can be backed, a cupboard, a dining table, two small stools, plus doors and windows, a total of forty-nine yuan.

With the addition of five yuan for the stove, two yuan for the water tank, thirteen yuan for pots and pans, thirty yuan for cement, twenty yuan for lime, and fifty-five yuan for tiles, the total cost of repairing the house was 323.5 yuan.

Coupled with the ten yuan for Zhenglu Yanzhou's nutrition injection, and the cost of going to a state-run restaurant to eat, repairing a house is the degree of returning to poverty with one click.

When he went to bed at night, Zhou Li'an silently took out the money and counted how much he still had.
