The rain stopped for a while, and it went on and off for two days, and it didn't clear up until the third day.

As soon as the sky cleared, Han Zhanshui took several masons from the village to Han Chunlei's house to continue to build a new house.

Han Zhanshui is a well-known master of building houses in Chaijiawu, and anyone in the village who wants to build a new house or repair an old house will find Han Zhanshui to take the lead in saving trouble.

At the beginning, Han Zhanshui and the old Wu family at the entrance of the village, as well as the three families of Yu Accountant, pried Han Chunlei and their family's jelly beans for a tattered business, although this matter had already been unveiled and turned over in the branch secretary Han Zhankui's house that night. But after all, they are all villagers in Chaijiawu, and they don't see anyone who looks up and looks down, and these three families will still be a little embarrassed and panicked when they see Han Chunlei and their family on the village road.

If you are hungry and don't care about decency, you can't use it as a rhetoric, 360 lines, you can fill your stomach in every line, so why bother to pry other people's business? This matter is said to be out of the sky, even if Mao Yuzhen, a spicy woman, has offended many people in the village, but this time it is recognized that the three of them are not authentic.

Therefore, when Mao Yuzhen asked Han Zhanshui to take the lead in saving things and help find a few people to build a new house, Han Zhanshui agreed as soon as possible, and he didn't even ask about his salary.

......

It's three poles in the sun, and Han Chunlei sleeps soundly.

He got up and washed up, the house went around, the old lady was not there, it should be on the construction site of the old hall house next door, I heard her mention it yesterday, the old hall house is not demolished, first repair it, mainly to renovate the roof and refresh the exterior wall, and then open up with the existing house here.

My sister Chun Tao is busy in the kitchen, and the fire is burning on the stove, and there are retorts on the stove, steaming the noon meal. Retort is a kind of cooking utensils, used to steam rice, the appearance looks slightly like a wooden barrel, there is a drawer and no bottom, as long as anyone in the countryside of Zhejiang encounters a red and white happy event, will use the retort to steam rice. One is that there are many people who eat, and if you don't use the retort, you can't steam the rice of so many people, and the second is that the steamed rice is really fragrant.

Han Zhanshui led the people in the village to build a house for them, and Han Chunlei's family naturally had to take care of the food. Like this year, when you come to help, whether the salary is paid or not is another matter, but the two meals you manage a day must make people eat well and eat well, otherwise they will not have the strength to work. The rice should be fragrant rice, and the dish should have at least a little fat and lean pork. Of course, if the conditions are good, you still have to take care of a small wine, which can be your own home-brewed rice wine, and people in a village don't pick their mouths.

The water in the pot was snorting and boiling, and the faint aroma of rice from the retort made Han Chunlei even hungrier.

"Chunlei, our mother is so good-looking," Han Chuntao added a handful of firewood to the stove, stood up with sweat, and complained a little: "Mingwa and his fourth uncle came to work in our house, and our mother's family paid the wages and took care of the people's food, I think this is what it should be." But this meal is rice, meat and wine, and our family has a few dollars? ”

Han Chunlei smiled and said, "Isn't this good for my mother? She just wants the people in the village to see that our old Han family is living a decadent life of capitalism! Let the people who looked down on our family in the past give her a thumbs up and say to her, you are a superior person!"

"Phew, you're poor!"

Han Chuntao took a sip of him, picked up a bowl of porridge from the stove and handed it over, and said, "I left it for you in the morning." Pad it!"

Han Chunlei shook his head, pouted at the retort Nunu who was scattered with the fragrance of rice, and said, "I'm waiting to eat rice, sister, fry two hard vegetables at noon." Didn't I come back the day before yesterday with some bacon? I added some spicy peppers and fried them, and I was hungry. ”

"You're a loser too!" Han Chuntao was so angry that he put the bowl back on the stove.

Han Chunlei laughed, slipped out of the kitchen, and went to the construction site of the old hall next door.

......

On the construction site, Han Zhanshui led four or five people to climb on the roof and renovate the tiles on the roof.

Mao Yuzhen stood down, carrying a teapot and shouting on the roof: "Brother Zhanshui, lead the masters down to drink some herbal tea first, it's all ready for you." ”

It's summer, and it's too hot. Especially climbing on it to renovate the tiles, the sun is so hot.

Han Zhanshui replied hello, led a few people down, and went to a shady place to drink tea to relieve the heat.

"You drink some herbal tea to get hot first, and then go up after a while, otherwise people will be sunburned." ”

Mao Yuzhen put down the herbal teapot and said, "I'll go and see how the spring peach rice is cooked, you can work for a while, and you can come over for dinner." ”

As soon as Mao Yuzhen left, one of the thin bamboo pole-like helpers said: "People in the village say that Mao Yuzhen is spicy and fierce, and I think people are very good." ”

"That's because you haven't had an argument with her Mao Yuzhen, this woman is ruthless, and three or two men can't beat him. Another helper said.

"yes, yes. ”

A helper who was a little fat looked apprehensive, and echoed: "At the beginning, Erzhu was opened by her, and I helped send it to Changhe Health Center, but along the way, Erzhu was bleeding and screaming in pain, like killing a pig." But it's strange to say, I haven't seen her fight with anyone in the village recently?"

"That's because people are living comfortably. There is rice to eat, new clothes to wear, a good house to live in, and two spare money in your pocket, in exchange for you, will you catch who to quarrel with whom?" Han Zhanshui drank a bowl of herbal tea, took out a cigarette bag and pot and knocked on the ground, and loaded the tobacco leaves as he spoke.

As soon as he heard Han Zhanshui say this, the thin bamboo pole asked mysteriously: "Brother Zhanshui, we all heard that the Han family suddenly became rich, thanks to Han Chunlei's kid." It's all from the same village, and the eldest of our family studied with him back then, and I saw that this kid was also wilting, what's the matter, if you say that you will fly to the sky?"

Han Zhanshui took a hard puff of the smoke pot, glanced at the thin bamboo pole, and asked, "I don't know if I can fly or not, but the Han family has a meal of rice, and there is fat meat, you haven't eaten it? You haven't drunk it? You haven't done anything about the Han family's new house? These are all fake?"

"Yes, there is no one these days, in our Chaijiawu, it is definitely a good family!" The fat helper said enviously, "I see that their family doesn't seem to be married yet, and the second child of our family has also reached marriageable age, why don't we find a matchmaker to come to the door to propose a marriage?"

"Han Laogui, your second baby is only eighteen, and Han Chuntao is twenty-five or sixteen, can you have a face?"

Han Zhanshui spat out a cigarette at the fat helper, choking the other party and coughing, "Besides, the first surname of our Chaijiawu is the surname Han, you have been down for so many years, have you had the surname Han intermarrying each other? Stupid or not?"

"Hey, that's it, that's it. Han Laogui was slightly stunned.

Han Zhanshui shook his head and said, "Our old branch secretary said that this Han Chunlei is not an ordinary person......!

"I've also heard that your family's Yu Accountant and Lao Wu's family's current jelly bean business is Han Chunlei's idea. Isn't it?" Han Laogui interjected.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

A puff of old smoke almost choked Han Zhanshui to death, and Han Laogui simply poked where it hurt. After he slowed down a little, he glared at Han Laogui and said one word: "Get out!"

"Uncle Zhanshui!"

Han Chunlei entered the door of the old hall and stretched out his hand to say hello.

As soon as Han Zhanshui saw Han Chunlei, he stood up directly and instructed a few helpers: "Don't chatter, hurry up and go to work after drinking herbal tea." ”

Blowing up a few helpers, he brought Han Chunlei here to shade and drink herbal tea.

"Chunlei, last time I heard you say at the branch secretary's house, you are going south, when are you going to leave?" Han Zhanshui asked.

Although Han Chunlei said that the capital reserve was caught off guard by the old lady, it could not affect his plan to go south, he calculated the days and said, "The day after tomorrow." Tomorrow evening, I will go to Changhe Commune and meet up with friends. ”

"Friends going south with you? That's fine, there's a companion outside to help out. Han Zhanshui nodded.

Han Chunlei looked at the several helpers who climbed the ladder to the roof, they were all young, not to mention in their fifties.

He couldn't help but wonder: "Uncle Zhanshui, aren't there any young offspring in our village? These few people you brought with you, it is strange that they are hard to climb up and down at this age." ”

"Hey, you said young offspring?"

Han Zhanshui knocked the smoke pot, and wanted to fill the tobacco leaves and smoke another pot. However, he was stopped by Han Chunlei.

"Smoke me this. Han Chunlei took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, gave Han Zhanshui a piece, and lit one himself.

"Golden deer?"

Han Zhanshui put the cigarette to his nose, sniffed it fiercely, and praised, "Good smoke." ”

Golden Deer is indeed one of the best-selling cigarettes in the Changhe Commune.

Han Zhanshui smoked a cigarette and said, "The young students in the village now all go to that engineering team and work in Shangtang Commune, and they earn more than we earn in the village." Who's strong labor doesn't send it to the engineering team?"

I see!

Han Chunlei sighed and nodded. However, he had to find a time to secretly remind Li Heping not to make too much noise and cause trouble, and it would be troublesome for him to come up and investigate it when the time came.

"A few days ago, the secretary of Zhankui found Secretary Xu of the commune and said that he wanted to learn from the Puyan commune and set up a commune enterprise dominated by young laborers in Chaijiawu. ”

Han Zhanshui said: "The name has been chosen, and it will be called the First Engineering Brigade of Changhe Commune." In the future, if other villages want to follow suit, they can only call the second, third, and fourth engineering teams. If you want me to say, our Han Zhishu's brain case is also powerful. ”

Han Chunlei was also a little surprised when he heard it, but he didn't expect Han Zhankui, the old branch secretary, to be so strong in thinking and ability to accept new things.

Immediately afterwards, Han Zhanshui continued: "Secretary Xu of the commune has already reported to the county revolutionary committee and is waiting for approval. ”

Han Chunlei said: "This is a good thing, and it is a great thing for Chaijiawu." With the brand of the No. 1 Engineering Brigade of Changhe Commune, there will be a lot less trouble if our village exports labor services in the future. ”

"I know it's a good thing, but, hey, I'm going to smoke a cigarette pouch and pot, you're not that good. ”

Han Zhanshui sighed, pinched the cigarette, lit the cigarette pot again, and said, "But the Han branch secretary called Accountant Yu away, and said that Accountant Yu would assist in presiding over the affairs of the engineering brigade in the future." ”

"Accountant Yu is the accountant of the brigade, of course I have to assist. Han Chunlei looked at Han Zhanshui puzzled, "The branch secretary presides over the business of the engineering brigade, and the accountant helps keep the accounts and pay the wages, and they have always worked together in the village." ”

Han Zhanshui said with a wry smile, "What the branch secretary means is that in the future, when we exchange jelly beans for tattered business, Yu Accountant will not mix with it, and let our family and Lao Wu's family work together." ”

Han Chunlei sighed, understood Han Zhanshui's distress, and kept coming to the three of them, and it was Accountant Yu who took the idea. Coldly, Han Zhankui took away the backbone of Accountant Yu, and the Wu family and Han Zhanshui naturally panicked.

"Look at the two of us, it's okay to do some hard work, write and calculate, think about this plan and that, you can't play it at all. Han Zhanshui raised his head and looked at Han Chunlei, and said seriously: "Chunlei, Uncle has something to discuss with you, okay?"

Han Chunlei nodded and said, "You say it first." ”

Han Zhanshui said: "Aren't you going south? Your sister Chuntao has nothing to do at home, and she can also write and calculate after studying, so why don't you let your sister join me and Lao Wu in this transaction, and the three of us will do it together." ”

"My sister?"

Han Chunlei was a little stunned by Han Zhanshui's proposal, but after thinking about it, he smiled dumbly and asked, "Pull my sister Chuntao in to partner in trading, this is the branch secretary of Zhankui to give you a trick, right?"

"Ang?" Han Zhan's hookah pot fell to the ground coldly, and asked in shock, "This... How do you know?"
