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

After three days away, the foundation of the home was laid.

My father and my second uncle are very good commanders, and managing the construction of the new house is a piece of cake.

Building a house requires taking care of the food, and Zhang Ziming just came back.

The quality of the food at noon is relatively high, and building a house is also strenuous work. Everyone drinks a little at noon, but not too much. If you drink too much, you will not be able to do the work.

After dinner, I have to go find Zhang Zhonghe.

"Uncle Zhonghe, don't you have a lunch break?" Zhang Ziming shouted as soon as he arrived at the door.

"My eldest nephew, you are back. Your uncle has been very busy these past three days."

Zhang Zhonghe said as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Is it that exaggerated? The furniture factory just brings back the wood and makes the desks according to the drawings. It’s not difficult, it’s mainly about efficiency.

I don’t know what’s going on with the brick kiln factory. After all, I’m really not familiar with this.

"Uncle, are you too busy to hit your heels?" Zhang Ziming said cheerfully.

"My eldest nephew, I don't have enough money. The 1 yuan from the credit union has been used at the brick kiln factory. If it can be burned successfully, it will cost at least more than 2 yuan."

Zhang Zhonghe didn't miss his eldest nephew at all. This was all he did to miss his eldest nephew.

It's not a problem. Zhang Ziming went out just to make money.

"Uncle Zhonghe, don't worry, I borrowed the money."

As he spoke, he patted the "Hai" brand handbag in his hand, produced by Qingdao Leather Goods Factory No. [-].

Zhang Zhonghe was not polite and hurriedly took him to the brigade headquarters.

He knew Zhang Ziming's temper, and the money had to be signed and written by the team's IOU before it could be deposited into the team's account.

Zhang Zhonghe agrees with this.

Zhang Ziming spent 25000 yuan, 20000 yuan was used at the brick kiln factory, and the remaining 5000 yuan was used at the furniture factory.

Regarding labor, work points will be recorded first, and wages will have to wait until the implementation of the "big contract" to liberate the labor force, that is, next year.

Therefore, money is mainly spent on materials and raw materials.

Of course, if the two factories run smoothly, they will have to give some points to the villagers no matter what happens at the end of the year.

After so many years, it’s hard to do some side work, but can you still do it?

Then isn't Zhang Zhonghe in vain?

"Uncle, you have to arrange for more people to come over to the furniture factory. You can't just rely on four old uncles. You have to arrange for a few helpers. The efficiency is too slow now."

When I came to the former abandoned educated youth spot, now a furniture factory, I saw that the efficiency of the four old carpenters was a bit slow.

"Eldest nephew, our village primary school doesn't use this desk so much. The four of them have done a lot in the past two days."

Zhang Zhonghe thought that the first two days were just for practicing and improving the quality of the hardware for the village primary school.

How to tell Zhang Zhonghe this matter, tell him in advance?Then he shouldn't be fooling around.

After a pause he said:

"Uncle, listen to me and add more people. We must make 200 desks in two weeks. By the end of June, we will make 1000 desks. We will start making others in July."

Seeing Zhang Ziming's firm gaze, although he didn't know what it meant, he still agreed. After all, it was Zhang Ziming who provided the money.

He will definitely not throw things into his hands. Just make desks when making desks, and add people when you add people. Just listen to Zhang Ziming.

The location of the brick kiln factory has been selected and construction has begun.

From this point, we can see Zhang Zhonghe’s determination and efficiency.

This also made the Dabeihe brigade's brick kiln factory greedy. Now that they finally had the opportunity to build a brick kiln factory, they focused their attention on the twelve points.

Zhang Zhonghe, who returned to the brigade headquarters, recalled Zhang Ziming's words, the fastest way to see benefits is the furniture factory. Is this possible?

The brick kiln factory can be put into use in less than a month. After the bricks are fired, there is no need to worry about sales.

Is it possible that other schools really want those desks?

Who will connect them then? There are so many primary schools in the commune, and each brigade has primary schools and red education classes.

He still had a point for energy, so of course he, Zhang Zhonghe, was in charge of the brick kiln factory;

The furniture factory should be left in charge of other branch committee members in the team and Zhang Ziming. Although Zhang Ziming is not a cadre of the team, he has paid for it after all.

Let Zhang Ziming also be in charge of the furniture factory. The other branch committee members should not have any objections. Whoever has an objection will pay.

Zhang Ziming was not idle when he got home, because his father was beating his younger brother Ziyue.

Although my brother tied a stick to the back seat of the bicycle for support, he still kept falling.

I didn’t ride the bike for two laps and fell quite a lot.

The brand-new bicycle made Dad's mouth twitch in pain.

Looking at the younger brother Zi Yue, although he received a few beatings and fell several times.

But my interest did not diminish, and I kept leaning on the side of the bicycle excitedly, unwilling to put it down. My sister was also watching the excitement.

"Brother, why don't you help me hold on from behind? Our dad is always watching me and will come over and beat me if I fall."

The younger brother, Zi Yue, is not afraid that his older brother will feel sorry for the bicycle, because before he learned to ride, his older brother said, don’t be afraid to ride a bicycle just because it is a new one, just ride it boldly.

My brother took these words to heart.

"Okay, I'll support you and teach you."

Anyway, Zhang Ziming doesn't have anything important to do. There are more than a dozen people helping to build the house at home. It's okay for him to take some time out from his busy schedule to teach his younger brother.

Dad grabbed Zhang Ziming's arm and said distressedly:

"Your bicycle is brand new. It can't withstand such a fall. Why don't you wait until your baby grows taller and longer to learn?"

The earlier you learn to ride a bicycle, the better. My younger brother is already a junior high school student after all, so he is no longer young and it’s time to learn to ride a bicycle.

I thought that when I got home, I still hadn’t taken out the radio.

Zhang Ziming returned to the house first and took out the radio. When the radio was put into his father's hand, his father stopped talking.

What else is there to say? Let your younger son learn to ride a bicycle.

A cigarette bag in one hand, a radio in the other, and the fragrant jasmine tea still brewing in the big teapot.

Zhang Zhongren was satisfied and watched as his eldest son's new house was built immediately. It had four brick houses and was unique among several nearby villages.

The eldest son also borrowed money for the brigade to set up a factory. Who could have more bragging rights than him?

Even his third brother, who works in the county paper factory, is not as comfortable as he is.

Since more than a month ago, the eldest son has changed, and the living conditions at home have also changed drastically.

The white steamed bun made of pure wheat, when Zhang Zhongren picked it up for the first time, he was reluctant to eat it.

Instead, he packed a few and ran to the ancestral grave in the north of the village. After his ancestors finished eating, Zhang Zhongren picked them up and took a careful bite.

Holding the steamed bun in one hand, he put the other hand under his mouth to hold it, for fear of wasting a little bit of the steamed bun crumbs.

The crumbs of the steamed bun that fell into the other hand will be eaten into the mouth in time, but I don't dare to waste the food.

Big white and sweet steamed buns. In the past, I could only eat so full in my dreams. Now my dream has come true.
