Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

Zhang Ziming knew that Zhang Zhonghe did not understand, so he continued:

"Uncle, I heard that the voluntary workers in the brigade are not enough.

Zhang Yeping is at home now, arranging arrangements. Who wouldn't want to find a hardworking and capable woman?

Anyone who volunteers here must be hard-working and capable."

At this time, Zhang Zhonghe understood.

Talking about getting married to Zhang Yeping is all nonsense.

Letting Zhang Yeping work as a volunteer is the final idea, right?

Zhang Zhonghe thought:

Zhang Ziming, you brat, you just want to trick Zhang Yeping.

Volunteer work is under the supervision of the commune. Not only is it tiring, but you also have to bring your own food.

Zhang Zhonghe rolled his eyes and finally thought about it. He probably knew what was going on, so he said:

"Yes, Ye Ping always cheats when he is working. This time, we have to arrange for him to work as a voluntary worker. This is the village's arrangement and has nothing to do with you, Zhang Ziming."

Zhang Ziming smiled with satisfaction:

"It has to be my uncle. He is thoughtful in arranging work. He needs to arrange for young and strong laborers. By the way, uncle, how many days will he have to work as a voluntary worker this time?"

Zhang Zhonghe was thinking that every winter and spring, the county or commune would arrange voluntary workers.

I just arranged to plant trees some time ago, but this time I arranged to repair the road section, which will probably take more than half a month.

Hearing this, Zhang Ziming felt that it was quite satisfactory. Half a month was enough for him to come back from Eastern Guangdong Province. If everything went well, he might be back in a week.

Even if he couldn't make it back, Zhang Ye Ping, who was as tired as a dog, would he still have the strength to go out and cause trouble?

Arranging this for Zhang Yeping is the first thing. As long as Zhang Zhonghe agrees, there will be no problem.

The second thing is to ask Zhang Zhonghe for help:

"Uncle, there is one more thing. You also know that I am going to build a house. I need your help to find some materials."

Zhang Zhonghe knew that the house Zhang Ziming wanted to build was a red brick house, and some of the materials used were not something you could buy even if you had money.

He also said with an embarrassed look:

"Ziming, if you build four brick houses at once, you will need a lot of materials."

In rural areas these days, the most commonly built adobe houses are 2, 3, and 4 rooms.

Those who can use blue bricks are considered good, but now there are four houses built with red bricks, and there is not even a single house in the village.

Even the brigade headquarters is made of blue bricks, but it is built slightly higher.

Red brick houses can only be found in Dabeihe Brigade, the headquarters of Dabeihe Commune, and other relatively wealthy brigades.

These materials for Zhang Ziming are not easy to find, but Zhang Zhonghe will definitely help Zhang Ziming.

First, he is Zhang Ziming's uncle, so this relationship is here.

If you don't help, you won't let the saliva star drown. Although they won't say it openly, they will definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts;

Secondly, Zhang Ziming has gained a lot of respect for himself, and he will feel proud when he goes back to the commune for a meeting. At least he has not heard of any writers from any nearby brigade.

Zhang Ziming knew that this problem was not easy to solve, so he said:

"Uncle, I'm going on a long trip tomorrow. I left the money with my father and my second uncle. If you need to make some connections or something, just tell me and my father will pay for it.

Bricks, tiles, cement, these are all in short supply, so you have to worry about it."

Zhang Zhonghe felt that he should be able to solve it with his own abilities, otherwise his tenure as village party secretary and team leader for more than ten years would have been in vain.

However, I thought that Zhang Ziming had built a brick house. Who in the village would not be jealous, even myself.

But what can I do if I am greedy? I can still dig out cash by digging in the fields every day.

Zhang Zhonghe thought in his heart that it would be great if the whole village could build brick houses.

Then I guess I will be in the newspaper. At that time, the leader will probably transfer me to work in the commune. At that time, I will no longer be a village cadre, but a commune cadre.

Zhang Ziming interrupted Zhang Zhonghe's reverie and continued:

"Uncle, I have a third thing that I want to discuss with you."

Zhang Zhonghe had a dark look on his face, how many things have you done, one after another?

You are going on a long trip, are you ready to come back?Why are there so many things?

Of course, Zhang Zhonghe’s face was still very calm:

"Eldest nephew, tell me, there is no doubt that I can help you."

Zhang Ziming looked at Zhang Zhonghe who was choking on the smoke and said:

"Uncle, this third thing is not asking for your help, but I want to help you."

Zhang Zhonghe originally just choked his eyes, but now a puff of cigarette smoke hit his throat directly, and he started coughing. After coughing a few times, he calmed down and said:

"Help me? What can you kid do for me? Buy me a bottle of wine?"

Zhang Zhonghe didn't take it seriously. Although you may have made some money writing books, don't you realize that the sky is high and the sky is high?

Still help me?

If you can help me, why are you asking me to help you buy building materials?

Zhang Ziming knew that Zhang Zhonghe didn't believe it, so he said:

"Uncle, of course, I can't help you so quickly, but when I come back from my trip, we can start. You have to do this now..."

Zhang Zhonghe was very emotional and shocked after hearing Zhang Ziming's thoughts.

Why don't I have such an idea, but it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

I want to do something, but the actual conditions do not allow it.

After listening to Zhang Ziming's words, Zhang Zhonghe felt that his blood was boiling and he was very imaginative.

If this is really accomplished, it will be all thanks to myself, as I am the secretary of the brigade.

Of course, improving the living standards of the whole village is the focus.

Just now I was imagining that the whole village could be built with brick and tile houses. If this is done, will building brick and tile houses still be a problem?

However, his happy face turned gloomy immediately.

I thought, can this happen?

Is it all you need to do with your upper and lower lips?

And you need the support of the commune to do this.

Although he had concerns, Zhang Zhonghe still had aspirations at this time:

"Ziming, you have some ideas. You are indeed my uncle's good nephew. I always think about my uncle and the village."

Zhang Zhonghe said it politely, but in his heart he was thinking that he would wait until you come back.

When the time comes, let's see if you have money first. If you have money, it will be easy to talk about. If you don't have money, it will be useless.

Zhang Ziming had finished speaking, thinking that Zhang Zhonghe had to digest it again, so he said hello and left.

After leaving, Zhang Ziming went to Zhang Xiaoyong again to be on the safe side and asked Zhang Xiaoyong to help keep an eye on Zhang Yeping.

The two families are neighbors, which is more convenient. If I haven't come back from a long trip and Zhang Yeping comes back from volunteer work, I won't worry if I don't keep an eye on him;

Although Zhang Xiaoyong was puzzled, he still agreed. When he was about to leave, Zhang Ziming gave Zhang Xiaoyong 10 yuan, but Zhang Xiaoyong said nothing.

Zhang Ziming was anxious:

"You must keep it. This money is given to you for two purposes:

First, if you don’t want to work anymore, take a break;

Second, when I come back from other places, I still have big things to do, and you are my best helper. This can be regarded as the salary I pay you in advance."

After Zhang Ziming finished speaking, he got on his bicycle and left. Zhang Xiaoyong could only keep it, but he had no intention of spending the money.
