May 8, 1982, morning.

Zhao Hu took Zhao Biao and Zhao Jianzhong masons to Liu Dongju's house early in the morning.

Seeing that Nie Quan, Nie Sun, Zhao Long and other carpenters under the grapefruit tree came earlier than them, and they were sitting on a low stool eating breakfast at this time, they couldn't help but smile.

Just as he was about to go to the kitchen to take a look, Liu Xing walked out with a yellowed wall calendar with a smile on his face: "Morning, everyone!"

"Morning!" Zhao Xiao greeted with a smile.

Zhao Biao stretched out his hand and patted Liu Xing's shoulder, and went to the kitchen with a smiling Zhao Jianzhong.

Zhao Hu didn't leave for the first time, but was attracted by the house design drawings on the calendar: "Liu Xing, this is what you drew last night?"

"Hmm. Liu Xing nodded.

At first, I thought it would be easy, but it took me four or five hours to finish it, and I almost didn't sleep.

"I'll see. Zhao Hu took the wall calendar, and after studying it for a while, his eyes gradually lit up: "Good design, why didn't I think that the house could be built like this before!"

"Especially on this roof, if you cover the tiles like this, it will completely solve the problem of water leakage! No! There can be no water leakage at all. The more Zhao Hu spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he even forgot to eat breakfast.

"Okay! You study it slowly. Liu Xing saw that Zhao Hu's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he didn't bother at the moment, and after smiling, he went to busy with him.

The first step is to buy cement, hanging tiles and other materials to cover the tiles.

But this time it was finally his turn to have a headache, because after running around the market, there was only one company that bought cement, and this one seller of cement had to have a bill to sell.

That is, now he can't buy it even if he has money.

This almost made Liu Xing angry.

When I came back, I was about to borrow a bicycle from Zhao Hu to go to the city.

But it was found that the problem of cement was solved.

It turned out that Zhao Hu asked Zhao Dongkui to go to the west mountain in the village to drag a cart of yellow mud, and transported a large cart of sand by the river, and then transported the remaining lime from Zhao Jianzhong's house.

Although it is not as structurally strong as cement, it is a good substitute.

It's much better than just using yellow mud to build the wall before.

Seeing that the problem was solved, Liu Xing didn't take care of it, but took melon seeds and Xiaobu to herd cattle.

When I returned, it was already noon.

The smell of stir-fried vegetables came from the kitchen, as well as the sound of Village Chief Zhao talking to Xie Zhongquan.

Liu Xing was a little curious, but he didn't eavesdrop, but went back to the backyard to wash his feet.

There is no way, the place where the cattle are herded is full of ridges and mud roads, and it is impossible not to get their feet dirty.

To his surprise, as soon as he walked into the backyard, he saw his mother Zhou Qiuxiang.

Zhou Qiuxiang was cleaning the aisle under the eaves at this time, and when she saw Liu Xing coming back, she greeted her: "You guy, your sister's family is busy now, how can you still have time to take melon seeds and small ones to herd cattle?"

"I've explained everything, don't you want me to build a wall if you don't want to herd the cows?" Liu Xing smiled: "It's you, why did you suddenly come here." ”

"I'll tell you something, by the way, I sent the shoes I made. Zhou Qiuxiang pointed to a pair of baskets under the eaves: "There are one hundred and twenty pairs of shoes in here! ”

"What do you mean by that, as if our family has been robbed in the past two days? Liu Xing smiled.

"I was really a thief. Zhou Qiuxiang sighed lightly: "If it weren't for your brother's power, the money I put in the closet would have almost been stolen." ”

"Isn't it?" Liu Xing was frightened.

This is really a person who is afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and he just made this little money, and he was remembered by the thief!

"But that shouldn't happen in the future. Zhou Qiuxiang smiled: "I came this time, in addition to talking about this matter, I also want to tell you that Huang Xiao, who drove a tractor, sent five cars of old tires, and I gave him the money, but he said that he would not send old tires in the future." ”

"Why?" Liu Xing was puzzled.

If he didn't have old tires, what would he do to make shoes and sell them?

He said that he had run out of used tires in the city, and that he could never find them again. Zhou Qiuxiang replied.

"That's it!" Liu Xing nodded slowly.

This is a very real problem, and he has thought about it at the beginning.

But he didn't expect that the old tires would be transported by Huang Xiao so quickly.

In other words, if you want to make money by making shoes in the future, the supply of materials must be solved as soon as possible.

Otherwise......

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and he is afraid that his shoe store will close down.

Of course, it's not as serious as he said, after all, a tractor's old tires, that can make a lot of shoes, according to the current storage of old tires, there should be no problem with a month or two.

And two months is definitely enough time for him to solve the problem of the supply of shoe materials.

Zhou Qiuxiang saw that Liu Dongju was shouting to eat outside, and even reached out and patted the grass clippings on Liu Xing's body: "Don't think about it so much, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, there are really no old tires, we can change to do something else, anyway, your money has been earned." ”

"It's not as serious as you say. Liu Xing smiled.

"I don't believe it. Zhou Qiuxiang didn't want to talk nonsense with Liu Xing, so she walked out of the backyard with her: "By the way, your aunt introduced three more people to help make shoes, and I saw that they were very diligent, so I took it upon myself to stay." ”

"Oh!" Liu Xing nodded.

He said that the reason why the more than 100 pairs of shoes were made so quickly this time was because he invited more people.

"Oh what, oh oh! Do you agree or disagree!" Zhou Qiuxiang looked back at Liu Xing.

"Doesn't that make sense obvious? Of course I agreed. Liu Xing said with a smile.

"That's pretty much it, I'll tell you! There are so many little daughters-in-law in our village who want to learn how to make shoes! There are no less than thirty of them, and most of them have been rejected by me. Zhou Qiuxiang smiled and revealed another piece of information.

"Huh?" Liu Xing was a little surprised.

But he soon calmed down, after all, he gave a lot of treatment for making shoes, and the food for three meals a day was also good, which made people in the same village envious, which was actually a normal thing.

This is a development trend, but it is a pity that the old tires, which are used to make shoes, are out of stock, otherwise they can really increase the amount of recruitment and make the most money in the shortest time.

But don't think about it so much now, let's build this house first.

Seeing that everyone at the wooden table was waiting for him to eat with his mother, he quickly retracted his thoughts and walked over.

......

Zhao Hu had the drawings provided by Liu Xing.

With Zhao Biao, Zhao Jianzhong, Zhao Village Chief and others, the speed of building bungalows was very fast.

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, it was built to a height of two meters, and the wooden windows were pressed.

Originally, Liu Xing wanted to leave a window hole and put it there temporarily, and then let Nie Quan make a new style of window decades later. But in the end, it's better to think about it, because he really doesn't have the energy to toss around these and pay attention to these small details.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day.

That is, at two o'clock in the afternoon on May 9th.

The construction of the bungalows has been capped and tiled.

Zhao Hu, who was sitting on the beam to receive tiles, asked Zhao Dongkui, who was busy on the ground, with a smile: "You are about to 'round the stack', should you prepare a few tables and call your relatives to come over and have a lively time!"

"This is the reconstruction of the old house, what kind of stack is round?" Zhao Dongkui smiled embarrassedly.

"Who said don't?" Village Chief Zhao looked at Zhao Dongkui with a dark face: "Now the whole market is the most beautiful and beautiful house in your Dongkui's house, and all the clear water bricks are used, don't you set up a banquet to make it lively, are you worthy of the money Liu Xing gave you?"

"This ......" Zhao Dongkui looked at Liu Dongju who was picking vegetables at the kitchen door.

"Don't look at me, you can just make your own decisions about this. Liu Dongju hesitated for a moment and replied.

She actually wanted to express her position directly, but for the sake of Zhao Dongkui's face, she finally swallowed the words in her heart.

"Then I'll discuss it with Liu Xing. Zhao Dongkui became smart this time, patted the dust on his body, and ran towards the backyard.

A moment later, he came out in high spirits.

"How's it going?" asked Village Chief Zhao.

"Liu Xing said that this is my business, and I will make my own decisions. Zhao Dongkui replied.

"Is that a wine or not?" Village Chief Zhao was anxious.

This Zhao Dongkui is the same as if he didn't say it.
