After Comrade Xiao Du returned to the city, he first went to Yin Laoliu's house and knocked on the door at night, giving Yin Laoliu a hard time.
Yin Laoliu explained the situation in a few words. In order to perform well in front of Du Weiguo, Yin Laoliu had almost done the work. When he heard this, he added another urgent job and was very happy. This month, Comrade Xiao Du was paid a monthly fee.
.
Although he is good at his craftsmanship, he is not able to work every day.
The houses in the countryside are simple. Xiao Du said that the village will allocate 8 strong laborers. The problem now is bricks, cement, glass, and wood.
Yes, Xiao Du plans to build two brick houses for Aunt Zuo, so arrogant.
Yin Laoliu said that the foundation would be dug tomorrow afternoon, the brick house would be built the day after tomorrow, the beams and windows would be put up the day after tomorrow, and the kang would be made into a chimney the next day. The work would basically be completed in four days.
He can handle bricks, tiles, wood, linoleum, and as long as the cement is available and the glass is available, there won't be any problems.
Building houses in rural areas is made of red bricks and red tiles, which is much cheaper. The four-day labor contract and materials cost 140.
Xiao Du nodded in agreement and made an appointment to meet directly at Xiao Du tomorrow morning.
After that, Comrade Xiao Du went directly to Yu Huaihai's house and told him about this matter. Yu Huaihai's eyes turned red when he heard that, Mr. Yu was also a passionate man.
I can’t wait to go to Zuojia Commune to see Niu Niu right now. As for some cement and glass, that guy’s chest is slapping loudly.
It's already almost 10 o'clock by this time, and the courtyard is already closed.
So that night, Xiao Du didn't go back to the courtyard at all, and slept directly at Yu Huaihai's house. His two rooms were 70 square meters and had little furniture, which was quite spacious.
This night was the most peaceful sleep Comrade Xiao Du had ever had since he was reincarnated in time travel. Maybe it was because he was tired, or because he felt at ease, but anyway, he slept very soundly.
The next day was the weekend. Early in the morning, as soon as the courtyard opened, Du Weiguo and Yu Huaihai rushed out on their bicycles and directly picked up those who were still sleeping in bed to the north.
Every word between the two of them made Xiang Bei's blood boil.
The three of them rushed out without even bothering to have breakfast.
First, I went to the non-staple food store and bought 10 pounds of fatty pork, soy sauce, salt, and bean paste. I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a pack of white rabbit, a can of malted milk, and a large production line.
Then I went to Sanliang Store, which was also staffed on weekends, and bought 100 kilograms of stick noodles, 20 kilograms of white flour, and 10 kilograms of soybean oil.
I went to the vegetable market again and bought 20 kilograms of vermicelli.
The three of them had to carry three sets, two or eight, and barely managed to get the things to the door of the courtyard where Xiao Du was. They were so tired that they sweated all over their foreheads.
The non-staple food stores, supply and marketing cooperatives and vegetable markets are all paid by the young master, and the grain stores are all paid by the young master, as well as the subsequent cement and glass.
All other wages and materials were paid by Mr. Du.
At this time, the enthusiastic salesman from yesterday was already in place, and all the goods were put on the salesman's car.
At this time, I happened to see the third uncle coming out of the courtyard, carrying a fishing rod and bucket in his hand. It looked like he was going fishing.
The third uncle's eyes turned green when he looked at the cart full of things, including noodles, fat meat, vermicelli, cigarettes and white rabbits.
"Hey, Director Xiao Du, what song are you singing? Don't you want to open a restaurant?"
"Hey, third uncle, my buddy's house is being repaired these days. We are going to help today. Are you going fishing?"
"Ah, yes, hehe, I have a day off today and will go fishing for two rods."
Originally, the third uncle wanted to say a few words, but just then Yin Laoliu came over on a bicycle with a man, who looked like he was a carpenter.
After saying hello to Yin Laoliu, Comrade Xiao Du smiled at the third uncle and said:
"Third uncle, then I wish you a successful start and a full harvest. The master worker is here, so I will go there first."
"Okay, let me lend you some good words."
The third uncle stared helplessly at the cart of food. After all, he was a shameless person, so he turned around and left.
The boss smiled and said: "That guy just now, his eyes were green and he almost jumped on my car."
Xiao Du smiled and said nothing. The carpenter Master Yin brought was named Cui, and he was also a skilled craftsman.
A group of five cars, plus a trolley, were racing on the streets of 1963. It was quite eye-catching.
Not inferior to the Land Rover fleet of later generations.
Yu Huaihai's car was bought for him by his father just this year, while Xiang Beifang's car was borrowed from their yard.
Halfway through, Comrade Xiao Du's belly was like thunder. It wasn't that he had a bad stomach, but he was simply hungry. He was now in excellent physical condition, and the only side effect was that his appetite increased greatly, and he would feel hungry if he didn't finish a meal.
Xiao Du didn't eat either last night or this morning. He was almost going crazy with hunger.
Unable to resist anymore, Comrade Xiao Du found a restaurant where he could eat under the guidance of his boss. Like a hungry wolf, he ate 5 steamed buns and 2 bowls of tofu nao.
It didn’t take more than 3 minutes in total. It was so devouring!
Yu Huaihai and Xiang Beifang choked and rolled their eyes.
Eating like this is definitely unhealthy, but the situation is special.
Yin Laoliu, Master Cui, and the boss refused to come in to eat and waited outside, so Comrade Xiao Du must be embarrassed and chew slowly.
At around 10 o'clock, a group of people arrived at Zuojia Commune. The shock of the appearance of five bicycles at the same time was almost as poisonous to the countryside as the appearance of five Lamborghinis at the same time in later generations.
As soon as Comrade Xiao Du arrived at the entrance of the village, he found Niu Niu standing there looking pretty, surrounded by a large group of wild children watching the fun.
When she saw the convoy led by Du Weiguo arriving, Niu Niu cried: "Look, he didn't abandon me!"
Then he ran towards Du Weiguo, shouting: "Brother, brother!"
Xiao Du felt that his eyes were a little wet at this moment, so he quickly parked the car and stopped. Just as he stood firm, Niu Niu threw herself into his arms.
He's so thin, maybe not even 40 pounds.
"Brother, they said you wouldn't come, that I was a loser and a bastard, and that you didn't care about me!"
There's nothing wrong with Niuniu calling him brother. Xiao Du is still young, so he can't call him uncle!
"Who's to say if they fart? I'll beat him to death."
As he spoke, Comrade Xiao Du stood up straight, his eyes widened, his face grimaced, and the little kids watching the fun were frightened and fled away.
"Niuniu, this is Brother Huaihai, and this is Brother Beifang. They are both my good friends, and they will all be your brothers from now on. You will have three brothers in the future, and no one will dare to bully you anymore."
"Niuniu, you're right, no one will dare to bully you anymore." Yu Huaihai.
"Niuniu, I'll give you some candy." To the north.
"Thank you, brother."
Seeing the sensible and well-behaved Niuniu looking so pitifully thin, the two brothers were heartbroken.
"Come on, Niuniu, let's go home. Our family will build a house today."
Comrade Xiao Du picked up Niuniu and placed her on the beam carried by Erba.
Niuniu must have never ridden a bicycle before. She was very scared and happy. She was lying on the handlebar like a kitten. She was still holding tightly the white rabbit given to Xiang Beifang in her hand. She had only seen this candy before.
Never eaten it.
When we arrived at Zuo's house, the scene was even more lively than yesterday. The walls were almost torn down. After all, it was daytime, and five bicycles and five city dwellers came all at once.
There was also a cart full of food and drink, and the villagers expressed their feelings that Aunt Zuo had a good life, that she had met a noble person, and that her fortune had turned around.
