Chapter 185, Tile Inspection

"Ouch, I don't dare to think about this!" Yang Guangming shook his head, "Looking at his grades, how can he be admitted to university! Besides, even if he is admitted, how can people in the city be able to see a person who goes out of the countryside." He also knows the difference between urban and rural hukou, even if people have just turned into regular workers, they have more than 20 yuan a month, and 245 yuan a year, which is better than farming. And with the increase of years of work, technical proficiency, you can also participate in the rating, the higher the rating, the higher the salary.

"Not necessarily. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "Let's take the exam, maybe luck will come? If you really get in, you can really find a daughter-in-law in the city." Although the people in the city have good status, the food is limited, and we are not enough to eat. And after being admitted to the university, Minghong is also a resident in the city, and it is not bad at all. ”

Li Yuanshan divided ninety yuan, and Jiang Mingyue divided seventy-two yuan, but if you have to remove the grain borrowed by the production team in the past few months, it will only be one hundred and two yuan. The two of them walked home with one hundred and two yuan, and Li Yuanshan sighed as they walked: "One hundred and two yuan, if the grain is also converted into money, it will only be one hundred and ninety-two yuan." "The two of them have divided a total of 750 catties of grain this year, which is still calculated according to one dime and 21 catties.

Jiang Mingyue said: "In addition to the sixty yuan of borrowed grain, there are also two hundred and fifty yuan, which is not less. She didn't care how much money she had, she had been in charge of shipping in a commercial house, a capital of millions of taels of silver, and later accompanied Li Yuanshan to dig gold mines, and kept more than 100 tons of gold in her hands. With space, eat and drink without worry, that's it, she has long lost the mind to pursue wealth, compared to wealth, immortality is a goal worth pursuing.

"Actually, I'm not doing it for myself. Li Yuanshan said, "I just think that the money is still too little, think about it, this is located in the deep mountains, although the stone road is open, but this road is still not good, if it can be paved with asphalt like in the city, it would be great." ”

"I don't know how much asphalt costs when it's paved asphalt, but it's sixteen kilometers from the city, so it will cost a lot of money. Jiang Mingyue said, "Besides, the domestic production of asphalt cement is very low now, and we are only a village here, even if we have money, we can't buy it." ”

"The dream still has to be had, what if it comes true!" Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "Although it looks out of reach now, you can also make a long-term goal!"

"I think it's feasible to consider scaling up farming. Jiang Mingyue said, "Now many houses in the village are very old, and it is important for everyone to renovate the houses to make more money in the past two years." ”

"It's also ha, our house is also very dilapidated, and we have to buy some tiles in a few days to add them. Li Yuanshan touched his chin and said. Sometimes when the wind is strong, it will blow off the tiles, and cats will also go up to the roof, and even fight on it, and the tiles will also be damaged. There are two places where rain leaks, and Li Yuanshan pulls the tiles on both sides to support it, and if it goes on like this, there will be more and more places that will leak rain.

Since it was said that Tianwa, Li Yuanshan asked in the village the next day, every family needed a little, so he had to drive a few more carriages to pull it.

The roof tiles are pressed and covered one by one, and the tiles can be added by picking up the bad parts of the tiles, and you can check them from beginning to end without too much trouble, which is equivalent to building them again. Although it takes a lot of time, it also works for a long time.

"Yo, the speed of the distant mountains is very fast, and a large area has been inspected. "In the morning, Zhai Fanghong got up, heard the sound of tiles falling on the ground, and came out to see that Li Yuanshan was throwing broken tiles.

"Hehe, tile inspection is very simple, and the speed is naturally fast. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "Can your house be inspected today? I should be able to complete the inspection today, if you don't inspect today, then I will help tomorrow." ”

"Inspection, why not inspection. Zhai Fanghong smiled, "Anyway, I can't finish the inspection today, and you can come to help tomorrow." ”

"Good. I see that the weather is about to cool down, so everyone helps each other to make the cat winter as soon as possible. Li Yuanshan said.

"We are not in the north here, how can there be a cat winter, as long as you want to do it, you can find it all year round. Zhai Fanghong smiled, "But it's best to finish it early, or it will be troublesome if it rains." ”

Everyone worked together to overhaul the roof, and it took two and a half days to finish, Li Yuanshan patted the dust on his clothes, and said: "This tile house is not good, when the wind blows, the cat runs on it, it has to be overhauled, and it has to be inspected once every two or three years, which is too troublesome." In the future, when we build a house, we will build a bungalow like the one in the city, and we will not have to inspect the tiles. "A bungalow is a house with a flat roof made of cement.

"There aren't many bungalows in the city, and we don't know how many years it will be from the cement factory in the county. Zhai Fanghong said. This cement plant, like the steel plant and the fertilizer plant, was started by five small industries in those years, and the output was not large. Of course, there is a reason for this, after all, people are not in much demand at this time, even if they expand production, then the product must be able to sell.

"Now the output of cement plants is small because there is not much demand. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, as long as people have more money in their hands and the demand increases, the factory will naturally expand and increase production, and they will be able to buy it at that time.

"Yes, if there is a purchase, there will be a sale. Yang Guangli said with a smile, "Don't you always say that eating tobacco (smoking) is not good for your health, there are not many people who eat, and we also buy a lot of money for planting cigarettes." Moreover, it is true that peasants grow tobacco as a big income, especially in the back, grain prices have always been very low, and because of the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and the development of planting technology, the economic benefits of growing tobacco are far greater than those of growing grain, and it has simply become the main source of income for peasants! If there is no cigarette industry, peasants may still struggle to make ends meet in a few decades.

"There are also grass seeds, no one got these in previous years, and as soon as we paid for it, someone immediately went to sell it. Song Shihua said with a smile.

"So, if we work hard for a few years, it is possible to live in a big bungalow?" Yang Guangming said, "Haha, by then, life will be no worse than that of people in the city." ”

"Of course. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "We can divide the homestead land to build houses in the countryside, but not the people in the city." Nowadays, there are many people in the city, and like in the countryside, there are four or five children in a family, but they can only be crammed into two small houses. If they want to live spaciously, they can only wait for the unit to be divided into houses, unlike in rural areas, even if they really don't have money, they can also build a shack to live in. ”

"A family of six or seven is crammed into two houses, this is too narrow and inconvenient!" Yang Guangxin said with a smile.

"Especially for young people who have just gotten married, they don't have their share in the room, and they can only squeeze into the same room with their siblings, which is really troublesome. Li Yuanshan said with a smile.

"Hahaha......"

"It's not easy for people in this city to do!" Zhai Fanghong sighed, "I don't know if Xiaohe and them will be like this in the future." ”

"The first few years were pretty much the same. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "If they work in the city after graduation, basically two or three people live in one room." It's the same if you're married, unless the daughter-in-law you're looking for is from the same unit, maybe the unit will adjust it and give you a small room. ”

"Then it's better to come to the countryside. Yang Guangming said.

"When I go back to the countryside to work, although I have a house to live in, the salary has become a big problem, the minimum wage in the city is twenty or thirty yuan, and in the countryside, a few yuan or a dozen yuan, if you want to live enough, you have to make careful calculations. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "It's better to be in the city, it can't go on like this forever, it must be developed, and you can enjoy the benefits of development first if you work in the city." Naturally, the same is true for the division of the house, after a few years of hard work, it will be good after the distribution of the house, and there is no need to spend money to build it like us. ”

"Ha, it's bitter first and then sweet. Song Shi'an smiled, "That's not bad." ”

After the tile inspection is over, while the farming is slack, the young people's studies have to be grasped. More than a dozen young people gathered at Li Yuanshan's house, but the learning efficiency was not satisfactory. The fire burned and made people drowsy, and when they rushed outside, the cold wind poured into their clothes. To be honest, we don't have much interest in learning, and because people are different, most people either have a bad memory, always can't remember, or can't understand at all, and they still don't understand after seven or eight times.

"Forget it. Li Yuanshan said, "Reading is not for everyone, otherwise everyone will go to the north of the Qing Dynasty." In this way, Mingju, Mingzhu, Song Mei, and Song Xiang should study better, and if you have any hope of being admitted, you can continue to study if you want to learn. Others, just forget it, I'll go to your dad and tell you that according to the current development of our production team, farming at home will be no worse than working outside in the future. After teaching for seven or eight days and looking at the situation of personal learning, Li Yuanshan made a decision.

"Okay!" Zhai Fangping smiled happily, "This is simply torture, after studying for so many days, I haven't learned anything, and my brain is still like it's going to explode." ”

Li Yuanshan immediately went to talk to Zhai Fanghong, and Zhai Fanghong listened and said: "Since he can't learn, then forget it." It just so happens that after staying at home, we will be able to provide for the elderly. ”

"It's still very early to retire. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "But if you don't learn the knowledge in the textbooks, you can also learn some other crafts, as the old saying goes, the craftsman will not die if he starves, learn the craft, and he can also earn some money to subsidize the family when he is not working." ”

"Well, this one does. Carpenters, stonemasons, and craftsmen are all good, and the girls learn to cook and needlework. Zhai Fanghong said, "Don't get married, your in-laws don't like it, you can't do anything." ”
