When the sister-in-law saw that the matter was almost finished, she was about to kick Wu Li out of the kitchen, "Xiao Li, look at how Uncle San and the others haven't finished work yet. It's so late, it's time to finish work and have dinner."
"Okay, I'll take a look right now. It's getting dark soon." Wu Li left the kitchen as he spoke, got on his bike in the yard and drove towards the reservoir.
"Uncle Third, it's getting dark. Let's call it a day. We can continue working tomorrow." When Wu Li came to the dam, it was already a little dark. He could only see that there was already more than two meters high above the pontoon.
We set up a shelf in the right place. Just after reaching the dam entrance, we couldn’t see clearly from a distance.
"Just wait a moment and put up the last few wooden piles. Tomorrow we just need to lay down the planks and make the railings, and the bridge will be ready."
Third Uncle pointed to Wu Li, who was walking next to him, and pointed to the nearly erected bridge, and said, "Tomorrow Third Uncle will invite more people to come over for you. The bridge will be paved here, and the land for the duck house will be cleared out first."
Xiaoli, prepare all the cement, sand, bricks and trees tomorrow. You can build the duck house the day after tomorrow. As long as the materials are ready, a small house for people to live in can be built for you the day after tomorrow at the latest.
"
The third uncle explained to Wu Li what to do tomorrow. If Wu Li didn't prepare the materials, the work would be delayed.
"Well, my third uncle will give me the total in the evening, and tomorrow I will ask a truck to pull everything to the dam." There is a small dirt road from the village to the dam, and you can still go up to the dam by passing a small dump truck.
.
"Let's talk about it in the evening." The third uncle replied, and then yelled at the busy guy opposite, "Little rabbits, be quick with your hands and feet and finish the work. The big bowl of wine at home, the big fat
The meat is waiting for you."
There was a cry from the opposite side, and the speed of the hands and feet was obviously a little faster. It seemed that everyone was starving after working for most of the day.
When Wu Li and his third uncle finished smoking a cigarette on the dam, they were already picking up things and calling it a day.
"My whole body is almost rotten. Fox, wait a moment. Let's go to the reservoir to wash up and then leave." Wu Yong took the cigarette from Wu Li. He was quite dissatisfied that the smell of his own body overshadowed the smell of the cigarette. There was no cigarette left.
Then I ran down there. I turned myself into a big white butt by the water and plunged it into it.
When we got up, we were already twenty meters away. There was a leader, and everyone said that we should wash off the sweat first before leaving, and it wouldn't take long.
In the twilight, a group of old and young men, naked and naked, were flying up and down in the reservoir, splashing water and making fun. The third uncle and two older masters were just sitting on the dam smoking.
I took a nap and didn’t go down to have fun with some young people.
Half an hour later, everyone went ashore, rubbed their clothes and pants in the water to remove the smell of sweat, wring them dry and put them on.
The weather is hot, and after riding for a while, the wind will blow and it will be almost dry.
Nine people and seven cars arrived at Wu Li's house in just a few minutes. It was already past eight o'clock and it was completely dark.
Wu Li drove the car directly into the yard with his eldest brother.
The white lanterns in the yard illuminated the front yard brightly. Big yellow, small black and small flowers surrounded it with their heads shaking, all rushing to make the owner happy.
Two pairs of white pigeons flew out from the eaves, cooing and grabbing the space on Wu Li's shoulders. Now the two pairs of little pigeons are very familiar with each other, and they can't get close to Wu Li.
Wu Li took out a handful of sticky corn from his pocket, put half of it in one hand, and let them peck at it.
Four little pigeons jumped from their shoulders to Wu Li's big palm, cooing and pecking at the corn kernels, and looking up at Wu Li from time to time.
After the little pigeon finished pecking, Wu Li held up the little pigeon with both hands and let it fly away.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. Don't sit there anymore, wash your hands and sit down to eat." The third aunt brought out the last pot of bone soup and called for everyone to start eating.
There were not too many people today, so we simply set up a big round table in the yard so that everyone could squeeze in together to make it more lively.
"Wu Li, wait a minute, ask your brother and your third uncle to sign this contract, and then we can have dinner. If we all get drunk, this matter will have to be postponed until tomorrow." Fan Tong took out three pieces of paper.
, is the contract to sell wine.
Now everyone is interested. Good guy, sign the contract. Isn't this the kind of news that big companies and big businesses want to make? This guy is really serious about it. He even signed the contract just for a few jars of old wine.
.
Wu Shan and his third uncle were both literate. After looking at this simple contract, there was nothing disadvantageous about Wu Li. The third uncle asked Fan Tong and Wu Li a few questions in detail and carefully.
Seeing that there were no unclear questions, he took the lead and quickly signed and deeded the deposit, and also put a big red thumbprint on it.
"I lost a fox, just a few jars of wine, and I gave you 80,000 in cash." Wu Yong asked Wu Li with an incredulous expression, "Isn't this guy stupid? I'll take as much as I can."
Well, does this guy have too much money to burn?"
While Fan Tong was returning to his room to release the contract, Wu Yong classified the rice-basket brother as a person who has a lot of money and is stupid. Wu Yong's eyes were wandering around, as if he was doing something unhealthy.
By the time Fan Tong sat down, it was already too late for dinner to finally begin.
"Don't say anything. The men all filled their glasses with wine. If I lay down without drinking at night, it makes me, Wu Li, stingy. I'm not even willing to let everyone drink." Wu Li patted away a jar left by his father's generation and added another
The aroma of old wine buried in the space for a day is more mellow than the new wine brewed from the water in that space.
"Wu Li, you are really a good friend. You opened the tens of thousands of bottles of wine as soon as you asked, and you didn't fool your brothers with beer. Just for this reason, if you don't drink enough today, you won't be able to afford such a precious wine." Monkey
This guy thought the weather was too hot, so he had left the long-sleeved clothes he wore for work in the car. Now he was slapping the ribs on his chest so hard that he looked like a man who must drink himself down today.
"As for your ribs, it's better to drink beer. If you can't drink a bowl of soju, you can't just sneak under the table to keep company with rhubarb." Douya ruthlessly revealed that this guy is just a garlic clove filled with daffodils.
He is simply a hard-nosed person.
"Come on, you are a picky bean sprout. If you dare to drink three bowls, I will drink two bowls." The pair of monkeys and bean sprouts began to pinch each other again.
Wu Li didn't care about the two or three bowls they had. He poured a full bowl for each one first. The two children and the two women took care of themselves and poured the wine and juice by themselves. Wu Li didn't need to worry about them.
"Here, take a sip first, and then we'll start eating." Wu Li raised his bowl and saluted everyone.
Several anxious foodies quickly put down their chopsticks, responded to Wu Li's toast, took a casual sip of old wine, then picked up their chopsticks, shook off their cheeks and started eating.
Wu Li sat next to San Ye, eating vegetables and drinking wine, while discussing what to prepare for tomorrow.
"If you want to build a duck house and a house for people to live in, my uncle has already found a place for you. Xiao Li, you need to prepare at least one ton of cement, thirty thousand bricks, seven or eight small dump trucks of sand, and one truck of lime and tiles.
Xiaoli, are you going to use burned tiles or asbestos tiles?”
"The duck house uses asbestos tiles, and the people's house uses burned tiles," Wu Li Xiangxiang replied.
"Then prepare a small cart of tiles and a cart of asbestos tiles. Just ask someone to transport them to the dam tomorrow. The dried fir trees in your yard are just in use. I'll ask people to pull some over to make beams tomorrow. Also,
"When you have time, you can find someone to cut down more fir trees and let them dry first. When you build a new house, the fir trees in the yard may not be enough." The third uncle estimated that some fir trees would be used to build the house there.
These spare cedar trees may not be enough.
"Well, I've made a note of this. It won't be enough when the time comes, so we might as well buy some. Third uncle, are my rafter skins enough? Do you want to saw more?" The rafter skins are used to cushion tiles. Use a thick arm.
Thin boards sawn from cedar trees.
"That pile is enough. New houses now have concrete floors. These things are only used to build kitchens, duck sheds and pig houses. If they can't be piled at home, they can only be used as firewood. This time it's just right.
I'll help you use it, so that it won't be piled up in the yard, taking up space and getting in the way." The third uncle drank some wine, ate some vegetables from time to time, and explained some things to Wu Li.
Wu Li is going to build a house this year, and he, as an uncle, has many things to worry about. What kind of house to build, how big, how many floors, how to space it, different construction methods, and the amount of materials used can make a big difference.
.
This requires him to make an approximate estimate based on experience. He can only estimate a little more, which will not cause too much waste, but cannot be missing a little bit here and there, otherwise the secondary purchase will cause a waste of freight and time.
The third uncle said a lot during this meal, and Wu Li tried his best to remember it in his heart. There are many things that can be prepared in advance.
