Chapter 19: The Great Ideal Brick House

A few years ago, the commune issued a document to solve the old and difficult problem of singles in the whole company by the end of the year, and called on all production teams to actively cooperate and strive to solve the marriage problem of singles over 25 years old and under 35 years old.

As for the older singles, it is a problem left over from history, not in the scope of solving, there are not many people in Hanzhuang, the geographical location is not bad, close to the reservoir, and then there is a production team of several rich people in South Korea are really capable of leading the whole team to become one of the few production teams in Lishan Commune that can eat a full stomach, especially there are not many singles in the team, most of them are old, forty or fifty years old singles, in that year and sixty years old belong to the elderly, these people's problems are no longer a problem.

For this reason, Han Fu is quite happy, and the other Zhuangzi under the age of 35 have less than three or five and more than one or twenty, and compared to Han Zhuang, there is only one single comrade Li Dong who meets the conditions.

Now seeing Li Dong so motivated and actively applying for an increase in the amount of labor, this makes Han Fu very pleased.

"You go to Guohong and take you to get the tools. ”

Han Fu explained that Han Hong is not only responsible for the management of tools, but also for the distribution of tools. "By the way, don't forget to ask Guohong to help you change the content of your work. ”

"Got it, Uncle Guofu. ”

Li Dong found Han Hong to receive a water carrying tool, which made Han Hong full of surprises.

"Good boy, I miss my daughter-in-law. The Korean soldier who led the second group of sweet potato collar tools on the side smiled and patted Li Dong's shoulder. "Work hard and strive for a hot quilt for your wife and children in winter. ”

"That's all we have for our village, it's been more than ten years, and there are no singles. ”

"That's our captain is smart, work hard, let the captain choose a capable daughter-in-law for you, our captain is famous for his vision in choosing a daughter-in-law. ”

This is really wrong, Han Fu is extremely experienced in begging for daughters-in-law, especially choosing daughters-in-law from the famine escape team, and even his daughter-in-law Li Chunhua is a desert escape.

With personal experience, this is not the case that South Korea is rich every year to inquire about where the disaster has been affected, where there are many escapes, not to mention that half of the daughters-in-law in a village are fleeing the famine.

This also makes South Korea rich and a little bit of a matchmaker, although the name is not good, but it is true, it is an indisputable fact that there have been few singles in the village for more than ten years.

A group of people joked, humming a little song and following the Korean soldiers away, Li Dong was made crying and laughing, what's the matter, don't mention your daughter-in-law.

"Uncle Guohong, I'm carrying water today, Uncle Guofu asked you to help me change the content of the work. ”

"Don't worry. ”

Han Hong said with a smile. "I won't forget, by the way, I have your notebook here, you go back to my house to get it, just copy the work of the previous days. ”

As long as there is a labor book, Li Dong has recently settled down, Zhuangzi has no work book, which does not delay a few days, the work book is to record the content of his work, as well as the work. The difference between the workbook and the scorekeeper is quite the difference between a general ledger and a personal account.

The scorekeeper is to score according to the work content provided by the production team leader, generally the first night the production team leader arranges the work content, the scorekeeper will record it, and then according to the situation of the day, as long as there is no evasion, it will generally not be changed.

Ten days or half a month, or when free, the scorekeeper will go door-to-door to avoid mistakes, generally rarely, that year and month people are very simple, or the record is down, or they did not remember to make up for it, or the content of the work is wrong.

Han Zhuang has not had a conflict because of the work for so many years, Han Hong has already helped Li Dong to make a record of work, and it would be good to go back to Li Dong to take the work book and copy it down.

"I'll go over and get it when I'm done. ”

After receiving the bucket and the flat pole, Li Dong did not delay to keep up with the water carrying group. Today, Han Weijun led the group in the water group, Li Dong shrunk his head when he saw it, he was going to die today, Han Weijun is now the deputy captain In order to follow the Korean rich class, he took the lead everywhere, Li Dong was really afraid to arrange it with him.

Sure enough, Li Dong regretted it in the morning, basking in the sun, what kind of hero, carrying water, this is a job you can do, a piece of cloth on your shoulder is not enough, it is still worn out, and the sore Li Dong grinned.

Don't do it tomorrow, Li Dong gritted his teeth and persevered all morning, Han Weijun and Han Fu and others smiled when they saw Li Dong working very actively. "I said, As long as this man has a head, his strength is not exhausted. ”

"It's not good, for the sake of my daughter-in-law, look, this work is still very good. ”

Li Dong listened to this, he really wanted to drop the bucket, whoever likes to do it, if not, he will find Uncle Guofu, tomorrow I will still dig sweet potatoes, take eight points of work, twelve points of work, it's really not good.

When he went home for dinner at noon, Li Dong saw Xiaojuan who greeted him with a bitter face. "Xiaojuan press her dad quickly, if she doesn't do it, she can't live, why don't you want her stepmother to do it. ”

Xiaojuan rolled her eyes a little, and said while massaging Li Dong. "Dad, I told Guo Hongye, I will go to fight pigweed, which is counted as five points of labor, not two points of child labor. ”

"What?"

Li Dong sat up suddenly, this girl didn't discuss with herself. "Hunt pigweed, but you work all day, in two days, Dad will send you to school in the commune, how can you have time to work?"

Xiaojuan lowered her head, the five grandmothers said something in the morning, Xiaojuan felt that it was right, girls should work hard, what kind of school should they go to, it is a waste of money.

"Dad, I don't go to school. ”

"Not going to school?"

Li Dong really got up now, put on his shoes and pulled Xiaojuan to the side to sit. "Why, if you don't go to school, you can't do anything, everything you will do in the future will depend on learning, if you don't go to school, will you stay in Zhuangzi for the rest of your life?"

"I need money to go to school, but I can't earn a job, I want to earn a job. ”

Xiaojuan's little neck was raised, the good guy's little temperament came up, and Li Dong slapped his forehead. "You're still afraid that Dad won't be able to support you, don't worry, Dad is capable, you can rest assured about rations, I promise that I won't be hungry for you." ”

"But my father wants to repair the house and marry his daughter-in-law, and the captain's grandmother said that he wants to ...... It costs one hundred and fifty dollars. ”

Li Dong was stunned when Xiaojuan said. "You said you were going to earn money for your father to build a house and marry a wife?"

It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, Li Dong is also a little moved, this stupid kid. "One hundred and fifty yuan is nothing, your father is going to build three big tiled houses for our family, pull a big yard, the yard is covered with bricks, and build a small garden. ”

But what confused Li Dong was that Xiaojuan didn't seem to be very happy.

"Wow. ”

Xiaojuan was stunned suddenly, and then threw herself on the bed and cried, crazy, Dad was crazy, Xiaojuan was scared.

The big tile house, Xiaojuan has heard it, and the people in the city have lived in it, and Li Dong's bold words scared Xiaojuan to cry. "Xiaojuan, there is no mother, no younger brother to marry. ”

The more Xiaojuan thought about it, the more sad she became, she earned five cents a day, and the captain's grandmother said that this year's year was not good, and even if the second crop of rice was not extinct, there would not be much, and all this year, a penny would be at most two cents.

Earn a dime a day, only three yuan a month, only thirty-six yuan a year, Dad wants to build a tile house, and it is not enough to earn a lifetime of money, Dad is going to be a single, he can't marry a wife, he can't give birth to a younger brother, and no one will carry it when he marries.

Li Dong didn't know that Xiaojuan's inner drama was so rich, or he would definitely knock this little girl's head melon seeds. "Why don't you have a mother, when Dad earns money, he will take you into the city to find your mother. ”

For Xiaojuan's biological mother, Li Dong talked about what to say, ruthlessness is ruthlessness, but according to what Zhuang Li said, Xiaojuan's mother still has a little love for Xiaojuan, this kind of thing is not easy to say. Educated youths often marry involuntarily, and Li Dong is not qualified to participate in this matter.

However, taking Xiaojuan to meet her mother, Li Dong didn't feel that there was anything inappropriate about this, after all, she was a daughter.

Xiaojuan glanced up at Li Dong, and suddenly fell down and cried again, no, her lazy father began to brag again, what happened to those who love to brag in the end, and the forty or fifty-year-old singles in the village love to brag.

Now that they have become desperate, the more Xiaojuan thinks about it, the more afraid she becomes, Aunt Qiu Ju said, if a daughter without a younger brother marries, she will be looked down upon, and if she doesn't have a younger brother's support, she will be spurned in her in-law's family. Xiaojuan was scared, she was so pitiful.

My father is gone, and now I have a new father, I am lazy to do it, and I love to talk big, Li Dong looked confused, what is wrong with this girl, she has become Lin Daiyu. "Girl, don't cry, Dad is tired all morning, you see, this skin is broken. ”

"Where it's broken, I'll see. ”

Xiao Juan, who was still sad just now, got up and pulled Li Dong's clothes on tiptoe. "It's a little broken, Dad remembered to bring Yunnan Baiyao, you can help Dad take medicine. ”

Yunnan Baiyao, this thing Li Dong is really true, he originally brought ten boxes, and a hundred band-aids and colds were put in a big bag, but unfortunately something went wrong when he crossed time and space, and a lot of medicines were lost.

Now there is only a box of Yunnan Baiyao and cold medicine left, and there is no band-aid at all, but it is better to have medicine than nothing, and the cloth on the medicine pad, although Xiaojuan is reluctant to get a new cloth, it is terrible that Dad's wound is inflamed, so he has to pad the cloth.

Xiaojuan brought out the rice and meat, Li Dong smelled the aroma of the meat and had a great appetite, and killed two large bowls of rice in a row.

Seeing that Xiao Juanguang soaked some broth and grilled rice, she didn't eat a piece of meat, and couldn't help but pour all the meat in the meat bowl into Xiao Juan's bowl. "Eat more meat, and look good when you grow fat. ”

"Ah, it's too much, eat it in the evening. ”

Xiao Juan shook her head, there are still five or six pieces of meat here, today the captain's grandmother said that she can't live as lavishly as her father, if it weren't for the famine, Xiao Juan was so frightened at the thought of famine that she trembled, hunger is the most terrifying thing in the world.

"It's just a few pieces of meat, I want to eat meat, and I'll buy it tomorrow when my dad goes into the city." ”

Li Dong found that some meat does not necessarily need meat tickets, as long as you pay a little more, especially pork ribs, others don't want it, you can ask for it yourself, you will eat it if you have seasonings. "Hurry up and eat, or Dad will get angry. ”

Xiaojuan wiped a handful of tears, and Li Dong muttered a small tear pack.

In the afternoon, Li Dong found Han Fu and told him his idea of building a brick house, and Han Fu's eyes were wide open. "Brick house, Li Dong, don't let the plane go, work hard, earn more work, do more adobe, and help you repair the house after the autumn." ”

"Uncle Guofu, you look down on me. ”

Li Dong quit, he looked down on people one by one, but he came in the 21st century, and he couldn't even afford to build a brick house.

"You know how much a brick house costs. ”

Li Dong shook his head, I really don't know, if you want to say that Li Dong also bought a few houses in the future, both husband and wife have provident funds, plus there are no other investment channels, this is not just buying a house, a total of three sets, when the divorce, Li Dong only needs a small set.

It just so happens that there is a family of three, the daughter-in-law is the largest, the daughter-in-law is the second, and the self is the third, but those houses are all buildings.

The brick house, Li Dong really doesn't know, even in his hometown, his parents and two younger brothers built a two-story small building.

"At least five hundred. ”

Poof, Li Dong was almost flashed to his waist, how much, five hundred, Li Dong couldn't believe it.

Han Fu looked at Li Dong with a stunned face, frightened, young and young, I don't know what to do.
