Chapter 40: Uncle Construction Team
"I'm your uncle!"
The production team leader said with a grin.
He is the cousin of Ji Yuanhai's mother, which is commonly known as "uncle brother", so he can be regarded as the "eldest brother" of Ji Yuanhai's mother, so he calls himself "uncle".
Ji Yuanhai changed his words and agreed: "Uncle, are you working?" β
"Well, this is going to work, have you eaten? I didn't eat and went to my house to eat. The "uncle" spoke.
"I'll eat it, uncle." Ji Yuanhai replied.
"Are you going to grandma's house? Your grandpa and grandma are also working today...... Shall I help you shout at them? "Uncle" said again.
"No, I'm not going to my grandma's house today, I'm looking for someone to build a house." Ji Yuanhai said, "Uncle, do you know who in the village works reliably? β
"Uncle" was overjoyed when he heard this: "You are looking for someone to build a house?" How big is the ready cover? β
"Build two rooms, make do with them first." Ji Yuanhai said, "Uncle, you are-"
"I'll help you find two people, and the three of us can help you build the house." "Uncle" said, "Do you think it's okay?" β
Ji Yuanhai frowned a little: "Uncle, let's ...... who are related to each other."
"Uncle" hurriedly said: "Don't think about that first, really let me do this work, when the time comes, you will be the master's family, and I will carry the work for you." β
"If you don't say anything else when you work, can you succeed?"
Ji Yuanhai was still reluctant.
If it weren't for the fact that the brick kilns in Chenlou Village were the closest and there were many people who knew how to build houses, he would even want to go to another commune, thirty miles away to find someone to work inβbut in that case, it would be too far away, and the time for the workers to go back and forth would be a big problem.
What is the character of this "uncle", whether he has the same heart with his grandmother's family and mother, Ji Yuanhai doesn't know.
Don't come up with anything else when the time comes.
Seeing that he still refused to agree, the "uncle" couldn't help but be a little anxious: "What are you afraid of, kid?" How else can I hurt you?
"It's not that I blow it, you go to the village to inquire, how many houses are built by others compared to me?"
"If you inquire around and still feel that my skills are not good and my reputation is not good, then I deserve it - okay?"
Such a big breath? So, this "uncle" Chen Lou Village is one of the best houses to build?
Ji Yuanhai was a little tempted: "Uncle, what's your name?" β
"My name is Chen Liangxian, nephew, what's your name?"
"Uncle, my name is Ji Yuanhai."
This thing seems a bit outrageous, the two of them even talked about their relatives, and now they know their respective names; But that's what happened to me, my mother's cousin, just know that I call my uncle, and I usually don't ask for my name.
Ji Yuanhai said: "Uncle, if you really want to do this job, I'll inquire first; You're doing your job so well, I'll look for you. β
"There is one more thing that you want to do for me, and that is to carry the work, and I will pay the money on time without ambiguity."
"Don't talk about things like my grandfather, my mother, and you are my uncle, the main family is me, and it has nothing to do with others."
"Uncle" Chen Liang was a little surprised when he heard this, and then nodded again and again.
"Okay, okay, just ask."
"You see if my Chen Liang's work is tenable, and if he is honest and reliable."
"When I take over your work, I will listen to you, the master's family, and no one will listen."
Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Okay, you wait a while, I'll take a look around the village." β
"Okay!"
Chen Liang first ran to greet the captain of the production team, saying that he was entertaining relatives, and then waited at the door of his house.
Ji Yuanhai walked around Chenlou Village, found a few people and asked, Chen Liangxian's self-confidence really did not come in vain, they all said that he worked quickly and was honest and reliable.
This "uncle" can!
By the way, I asked my grandfather Chen Lao Wu and his brother-in-law Chen Xiaobao's reputation.
Chen Laowu worked hard, felt sorry for his son, and was reluctant to let his son work in the field.
Chen Xiaobao pouted when he said that, he relied on his two sisters and parents to support him, and he had never worked in the field; Occasionally, Chen Xiaobao mowed the grass once, even if it was a job, Chen Lao Wu and his wife were proud.
This is similar to what Ji Yuanhai knows.
Finding Chen Liangxian again, Ji Yuanhai once again emphasized his meaning of not letting others intervene.
"Uncle, this is my own house, build my own house."
"Don't talk about outsiders, even my father and mother can't care how I build this house."
Chen Liang nodded first: "I have written down this matter, Yuanhai, you are the master, just listen to you." β
"I have one more thing to tell you."
"Uncle, you say." Ji Yuanhai said.
"The three of us are working, and we are rushing to make some extra money, which is better than burying our heads in work to make money." Chen Liang said first, "But you can't say this to the outside world. β
"I have to say that I help my nephew work, and I don't charge money."
When Ji Yuanhai heard this, he recalled what the Seventh Master once said, the labor force of the production team needs to give a share to the collective when they go out to make money, and he suddenly understood.
"Uncle" also has some ideas in his heart, and he doesn't work hard.
If someone makes trouble with the Chenlou Village Brigade, it must be "free help", not "making money".
Because of this incident, Ji Yuanhai's last bit of worry was also put down.
"Uncle" also has a request for Ji Yuanhai, so he doesn't have to worry about problems with his work.
"Okay, uncle, then let's settle it!"
Ji Yuanhai said: "No matter who outsiders ask, you are here to help with the work, and I will take care of your food and drink." β
Chen Liangxian also smiled: "Yes, no matter what others say, I will listen to you when I work, and I will only take you if I take the money." β
The two decided, and Ji Yuanhai and Chen Liangxian returned to Xiaoshantun together and went to the place where the house was built in the south of the village to have a look.
Chen Liang first estimated the approximate number of bricks, the amount of marl and sand, and the approximate working time.
Summer is honestly not a good time to build a house, sometimes it's too hot, sometimes it rains heavily.
However, Chen Liang is an expert in building houses, and he has made everything clear, and he is not afraid of these things if he makes arrangements in place.
As estimated by the same era Yuanhai, only two red brick houses were built, and the total budget did not exceed three hundred, and there were even seventy yuan left.
However, considering that Chen Liangxian's three-person construction team had lunch and spent a little more on other aspects, the seventy yuan would still cost about thirty yuan.
After making an appointment with Chen Liangxian to start laying the foundation tomorrow, he sent Chen Liangxian away.
When Ji Yuanhai came back from the village, he passed by the team site, and Wang Lao Er, who was no longer able to walk, was talking to Wang Lao and the third brother Wang in front of the team site.
Seeing Ji Yuanhai coming, Wang Laoer's face sank and turned to the side.
Wang Laosan smiled: "Ji Yuanhai, there is a letter from you!" β
Ji Yuanhai was surprised: "My letter? β
"Yes, there is your letter...... Wang Laosan pushed his glasses, "Do you want me to read it to you?" β
"Or take it home and let your daughter-in-law read it to you?"
