Li Yunhai bought some meat in the county seat and came back.

Now that he has money, he spends it generously.

The Li family's dinner was unusually sumptuous.

There are Nyingchi's favorite pork blood balls, stir-fried pork belly with fresh chili, a large pot of local chicken, and a bowl of pig's trotters stewed just right.

Lin Zhi followed Li Yunhai to Li's house twice in a row, and the Li family didn't need to ask more, and they knew that this fairy-like little girl was Li Yunhai's love object, so they treated her very well, for fear that the hospitality would not be good, and the hospitality would not be good, and she would slack off this good woman in the city.

Lin Zhi may really like rural life, or she may love the house and Wu, anyway, she lives freely and happily in Baixi Village, she feels fresh and interesting when she sees everything, and her eyes and actions do not dislike rural life at all.

She heard that the fifth sister had lice on her head, so she took a grate to help grate her hair, and if she was lucky enough to catch a louse, she would also learn from the fifth sister, and use two fingers to pinch the lice and listen to the soft sound of the "horn".

Everyone in the Li family likes her and treats her closer than relatives.

After the meal, Li Yunhai called his parents to the back room to discuss the renovation of the new house.

Lin Zhi also followed.

The four of them sat and chatted in the room of Li Deming and his wife.

Li Yunhai moved two bamboo chairs in and sat down with Lin Zhi.

Mr. and Mrs. Li Deming sat on the bed.

Li Yunhai got straight to the point, saying that the house in his family was too old and too few, and he wanted to renovate a new house.

Li Deming smoked a homemade cigarette, his thick eyebrows twisted into a pimple, and said sadly: "The current red bricks cost 4 cents a brick, and cement, lime, sand, beams, stones, roof tiles, nails, wires, tiles, steel bars, and wooden boards, how much labor does it cost?" How much does it cost? ”

In his eyes, although the eldest son has finished studying, he is still a half-grown child, where does he understand the hardships of the world?

This house is what you say you can build?

Li Yunhai was an old god, and he settled the account with his father: "Dad, I understand." A 240-thick wall requires 128 red bricks per square meter, and a 100-square-meter house, one and a half floors, requires about 33,000 red bricks. ”

Li Deming tilted his head slightly, he had never built a house, he didn't know how many bricks and how much work was needed, he only knew that this was definitely not something he could think about!

Li Yunhai said his grand idea: "My house has a large foundation, and the vacant land next to it can be built, and each floor can be built with 300 square meters, two and a half floors, and a brick and concrete structure is used. Add miscellaneous houses, pig pens, and courtyard walls, buy 250,000 red bricks first, and then make up for the less. Red bricks cost 4 cents a piece, and the brick money is 10,000 yuan. ”

Lin Zhi sat next to Li Yunhai and listened quietly to the conversation between their father and son.

Her eyes flashed with a smart light, and she felt that although Li Yunhai was young, he knew everything and knew everything, what a treasure!

To build a new house, it costs 10,000 yuan for bricks alone!

Lin Zhi felt that this number was not much, so he did not react.

Li Deming and Zhang Shuwen listened, but they were dumbfounded!

The brick money is 10,000!

A 10,000-yuan household would not dare to build such a big house!

Li Yunhai ignored his parents' surprised expressions and continued to settle his account.

In this era, all houses were built with wooden windows, and each door and window required 150 yuan from buying wood to manual fees.

Lime is two cents a pound.

80 square meters of sand are required per 100 square meters.

How many tons of reinforced cement do you need?

How much work does it take to lay the foundation, build the wall, put the board, paint the exterior wall, scrape the interior wall including the top of the wall?

Li Yunhai said it rightly.

Lin Zhi listened with admiration, and looked at the man in front of him as if he admired his father.

Zhang Shuwen sighed: "Yunhai, you count it, it's all money!" Without tens of thousands of dollars, you will definitely not be able to build such a big house. Our house is still habitable, and we don't need to renovate it. Anyway, if you have a job outside, the unit will give you a house, and after you and Miss Lin get married, it's good to live in the county seat. ”

The family still doesn't know about Li Yunhai's resignation, and they still want to divide the unit into a house.

When Lin Zhi heard the words of marriage, his face turned red, and he didn't speak, just pursed his lips and smiled.

Li Yunhai got up and entered his room, carrying a burlap bag out.

When he first returned home, his family saw the bag and thought it was Li Yunhai's personal belongings, but they didn't pay attention to it.

After Li Yunhai went home, he didn't say a word, and hid the bag on the top of the floor of his bedroom, and then took it out.

He opened the burlap bag and took out bundles of packages wrapped in newspaper.

Zhang Shuwen thought that her son had bought candy and came back, and said with a smile: "I don't make a banquet at home, what are you doing when you buy so much candy back?" Could it be that Ling and Miss Lin are going to have an engagement wine? ”

Li Yunhai opened a package and revealed the money inside.

It's all unity!

A bundle is ten thousand!

There are four big bundles!

And in every sheaf there were ten small sheaves, and each sheaf was a thousand.

Li Yunhai pushed 40,000 yuan in front of his father and said, "Dad, there are 40,000 yuan here, I estimate that this money is only a lot more, you can take it and renovate the new house!" ”

Li Deming and Zhang Shuwen jumped up from the bed in shock and looked at the 40,000 yuan in shock.

They have lived for decades and have never seen so much money!

Li Deming's hands trembled, and he couldn't even speak, and stammered and asked, "Yunhai, where did all this money come from?" You only got back 2,000 yuan last time, why do you have so much money? ”

Lin Zhi covered his mouth and smiled beside him.

She is a person who knows what to do, and she will not interject when she shouldn't speak.

Li Yunhai told him about resigning and going to sea and opening a repair shop in the provincial capital.

"You resigned? Out of work? When Li Deming heard the news, he was even more surprised than seeing 40,000 yuan!

Zhang Shuwen sighed, took her son's hand, and said repeatedly: "Yunhai, how can you not work?" We are frugal, and we are tired and tired at home, aren't we all studying for you? I hope you have a chance! You don't have a job, what will you do in the future? Or do you want to come back and be a farmer? So all the books you have read all these years have been in vain? ”

Li Yunhai held his mother's hand and said softly: "Mom, studying is for the sake of income, I agree with this." But work is also about supporting a family and making money. Am I not making money now? I make a lot more money than I do. If you want to serve the country, I think that there is no distinction between high and low occupations, and I am self-employed, and I am also serving the country. ”

He calculated an account, and he got a salary of 32 yuan a month when he went to work, which was 384 yuan a year, and only 19,200 yuan in 50 years.

"Dad, Mom, according to this salary level, even if I go to work for the rest of my life, and count the twenty years of retirement, I won't be able to earn these 40,000 yuan!"

When Li Deming heard this, he also reasoned about it, thought about it, felt that it was wrong, and said: "This salary will increase year by year, don't think I don't understand!" ”

Li Yunhai smiled and shook his head: "Why did the salary increase?" Because of inflation. In fact, the purchasing power is about the same. I get a salary of 32 yuan now, 10 years later, I get a salary of 320 yuan, and 20 years later, I get a salary of 3200 yuan, but the price will also rise! Also, I can make so much money in just over a month, and I still have a lifetime to make money! Doesn't earn more than a job? ”

He was actually conservative and didn't say that in addition to the 40,000 yuan, there were still 1 million yuan in the bank!

First, he knows the truth of being low-key, and the more he makes money, the more he has to hide it.

Second, he was really afraid of scaring his honest parents.

40,000 yuan is enough to make parents unable to calm down!

Li Deming fell into deep contemplation.

His son's words completely convinced him.

In the era of the planned economy, 95 percent of the peasants did not need to deal with grain and oil stamps.

Food stamps are the preserve of those who eat commercial grain.

The peasants send their children to study for secondary schools and universities so that the next generation can get rid of the shackles of the land and eat the national grain. You don't need to farm, you can buy food with food stamps issued by the state.

For the peasants, this is a leap in class, and it is a great thing to glorify their ancestors!

However, since the reform and opening up, society has undergone tremendous changes.

After the household contract responsibility system, farmers planted food in the soil, contracted fruit forests, raised chickens and ducks, and took them to the market town for money.

Peasants are more eager to make money than city dwellers.

Li Deming can make money as a cow and a horse to send his son to school, which shows that he still has some knowledge.

He heard it and saw it. Although his son resigned, he mixed well in the provincial capital, ate well, could make money, and could use the money to buy back good things that other people's families didn't have!

What is it called?

Skill!

Capable!

Li Deming slapped his thigh hard and said, "Okay, since you have this money-making craft and ability, forget it if you don't go to that class!" ”

He asked without hesitation: "Yunhai, what kind of machine do you say you sell, is it really so profitable?" ”

Li Yunhai smiled and nodded.

Lin Zhi glanced at Li Yunhai appreciatively and said with a smile: "Uncle, I can testify for him!" Every penny he earns comes from the right place. My parents praised him for his quick mind and ability to do business! ”

Li Yunhai was about to speak, when a shout came from outside: "Brother Deming! Are you at home? ”

Li Deming hurriedly picked up the quilt, covered the money on the bed, and responded: "Branch secretary, I'm here!" ”

The person who came was the branch secretary of Shiban Village, Li Guowang, who also belonged to the Li family clan.

Zhang Shuwen asked her husband in a low voice, "Why is Li Zhishu here?" How long has it been since he's been on my door? ”

Li Deming waved his hand, signaled his wife to speak less, and then said to his son: "Yunhai, you put away this money first." ”

Without waiting for Li Yunhai to collect the money, the door of the room was pushed open forcefully.

Li Guowang stood at the threshold and laughed: "I said you two, what kind of tricks are you doing inside behind closed doors?" There are so many guests watching TV outside, and you don't go to entertain people? ”

Li Yunhai said unhappily: "Li Zhishu, why do you just push my bedroom door casually?" ”

Li Guowang touched his face, looked at Li Yunhai and said, "Yo, isn't this Comrade Li Yunhai, a worker at the county machinery factory?" The descendants who have read books for a few years are really not ordinary! In the factory, do you dare to talk to your superiors like this? ”

Li Yunhai was not afraid of him, and said in a deep voice: "The leaders in the factory are very educated, and they will definitely knock on other people's doors first, and others will go in after agreeing." This is the most basic social etiquette! ”

Li Guowang touched a nail that was neither hard nor soft, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, but he had nothing to refute, put his hands behind his back, and said with a cold face: "Brother Deming, you have a great son!" The sky of this slate village, I'm afraid it will be turned over by him in the future! Hey! ”
