With the spiritual spring space, rebirth in the red era

Xue Ming won a great victory in the negotiation of exchanging U.S. dollars for building materials. Li Jianming signed the application form and the list of special approvals for building materials. "Comrade Xue Ming, don't forget to notify me when you celebrate your move."

"And me." Wu Bin still smiled harmlessly, "I also want to see what the house will look like after it's built."

The joy of moving to a new home is to have a banquet and invite relatives and friends. Xue Ming also wants to invite the big leaders to be guests, "Okay, I'll ask the two leaders to show their respect when the time comes."

After leaving the commune, the uncle and nephew first went to the brick and tile factory and took out the special approval receipt to buy 8 red bricks and 1 blue tiles for zero yuan.

The factory director was horrified, "Lao Li actually approved so many bricks and tiles. Does your brigade want to build a big canteen?"

Zhao Tian patted Director Feng on the shoulder and said, "Old Feng, don't worry about this. I will arrange for someone to come and pull bricks this afternoon."

Next, Zhao Tian took Xue Ming to the reinforced concrete factory and lumber yard respectively, and asked them to deliver the goods to their door with the special approval slip.

After finishing all this work, it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Zhao Tian took Xue Ming home on his bicycle, "Son, how do you want to arrange manpower?"

The manpower is to find people to help build the house. Xue Ming doesn't know who to ask for help. "Uncle, you are responsible for arranging the manpower, and I am responsible for paying the labor."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The car almost overturned as the car swayed. Zhao Tian's legs were stuck, "You are talking nonsense. Hiring workers is capitalism."

I can't fix Xue Ming anymore. Isn't it only natural to ask people to do work and pay them? "Uncle, what do you say, I will listen to you."

"Don't mention wages from now on." Zhao Tian was relieved when he saw no one on the road, "But the policy allows for food."

Xue Ming understood that if you can't pay wages, you can give food and work. There seems to be no difference between the two.

Zhao Tian continued to ride, "It's the busy farming season now, and members coming to build houses will delay production. I suggest you invite off-duty cadres in the brigade to help build houses."

Off-the-job means earning work points without having to work, such as party secretary, team leader, accountant, cashier, security director, scorekeeper, women's team leader and other cadres.

The captain and scorekeeper in the production team are semi-off-duty. While participating in labor, the team will subsidize them with some work points.

Xue Ming didn't know how much food the brigade cadres could earn in exchange for work points in a day. "Uncle, how much food should I give you every day?"

"I will find 20 people for you, and give each person 1 catty of wheat." Zhao Tian sighed softly, "The work points we earn every day can be exchanged for 8 taels of refined grains and 2 taels of miscellaneous grains."

"Okay." Xue Ming thought it was funny. For the same work points, my mother could only exchange 1 pound of corn, sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous grains.

There are only 800 kilograms of wheat and 100 kilograms of corn in the space, which was originally enough to feed the family for more than 200 days, but now it is estimated that it is not enough to pay for work, and we have to find a way to get food.

Xue Ming thought about it and decided to exclude hunting for food first. He could not travel far away to build a house at home because his mother could not take care of it alone.

Fortunately, I still have money, so I can go to the market and buy it on the black market. I may not be able to buy a lot because food is in short supply now.

Suddenly I remembered that there were three acres of black land in the space, and I could have enough food and clothing by myself. "Uncle, please teach me how to grow wheat."

"Bah, you were born into a peasant family and you don't know how to farm. Don't you feel embarrassed, my eldest nephew?" Zhao Tian started taunting mode.

"It's embarrassing because there are people." Xue Mingxin said that I can hunt and draw comics. I have done everything in my previous life but never farmed.

"You don't need to learn how to grow crops. We can do what others do." Zhao Tian smiled and explained how to grow wheat. He is an expert in this field.

The more Xue Ming listened, the more headache he got. It didn't sound technically difficult. The key was that there were no oxen, plows, harrows and columbines for farming. These were the collective property of the brigade.

The entire brigade only has eight cattle kept in the cowshed, and private loans of tools such as rakes and columbuses are not allowed at all.

"It's so difficult." Xue Ming couldn't help complaining, "Uncle, how many wheat seeds do you need to grow one acre of wheat?"

"On good land, you can plant 20 catties per acre, but on poor land, you can plant 12 catties. If the land cannot be planted, it will be useless no matter how much you plant." Zhao Tian said.

The soil in the space is black soil, and three acres of land requires 60 kilograms of wheat seeds. I feel that the 800 kilograms of grain in my hand is becoming increasingly insufficient.

Returning to Zhao Village at four o'clock in the afternoon, the uncle and nephew went back to their respective homes. Zhao Tian asked Xue Ming to find him with food.

The things in the main room have been carried to the yard, including various wardrobes, tables, benches and other worn-out furniture.There are four large and small windows in the east room. At night, the whole family of seven people have to sleep in a room of less than 4 square meters.

The key is that it is inconvenient to sleep like this. The weather is a bit hot now, and my sister is already a big girl. It is difficult for her and her mother to take off their clothes to sleep in front of Xue Ming.

The mood of the family members has stabilized. The two heartless younger brothers were attracted by the bicycles. Liu Yue'e came over and asked in a low voice, "Has the commune approved the building of the house?"

"After approval, I will go pull bricks tomorrow." There is only half a bag of wheat left at home, and Xue Ming plans to use the grain reserves in the space.

He went out with a large porcelain bowl, "You guys eat first, I'll go find Uncle Zhao to do something."

Guo Xiuhua pulled Xue Ming, "Tell me the truth, can you build a house with your hunting money?"

"Do you still have a baby?" Xue Ming smiled and patted her hand, "Don't worry, grandma, we will move into a new house in ten days and a half."

Last time, the old lady gave her an imperial green jadeite, and Xue Ming upgraded it to 10 acres of pasture in the space. It sounded like she still had good stuff in her hands.

I pushed my bicycle to find a deserted place to enter the space, carried a bag of wheat from the warehouse, scooped out a bowl of wheat in a large porcelain bowl and weighed it, no more, no less, exactly half a catty.

After leaving the space and coming to Zhao Tian's house, Gu Cuihua sighed as soon as she met him, "Oh, God doesn't have a good eye."

He patted Xue Ming on the shoulder and said, "Children, please relax and eat and drink as you should. There is no obstacle in the world that you can't overcome. If you don't have room to live at home, come to my house for a few days."

"Thank you Aunt Zhao, I have to guard the bricks and tiles at night." A warm current came to his heart. Xue Ming couldn't understand why neighbors treated each other like relatives, but relatives treated each other like enemies.

"Let's go to Lao Sun's house with me." Zhao Tian turned around and went out with a cigarette in his mouth.

The two arrived at the home of team leader Sun Yuhou, and the Sun family immediately went out to greet them. Aunt Sun also comforted Xue Ming with similar words.

Xue Ming took off the wheat bag from his bicycle and scooped out a flat bowl of wheat in a large bowl. "Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun, go help my family build a house tomorrow."

"Why are you so polite, kid?" Shen Guixiang smiled like a flower, and the golden wheat was so lovable.

Zhao Tian said, "Keep it, this is the rule for asking for help. Tomorrow you and Lao Sun will go to Xiao Xue's house."

Shen Guixiang immediately asked the child to go back to the house to get a basin. Xue Ming scooped four bowls of wheat and poured it into the basin. Almost two kilograms of wheat were the couple's wages tomorrow.

"Xue Laoshuan is so partial. He gave the small courtyard in the north of the village to his eldest grandson for his wedding and did not protect his younger grandson from wind and rain. How can there be such a partial elder in the world." Shen Guixiang was so excited by Xiaomai.

"What are you talking about? Get in the house!" Sun Yuhou jumped in anger. Rural women like to talk about these shortcomings of Zhang's family and Li's family.

"Aunt Sun, my family has severed ties with them." Xue Ming felt that there was nothing to avoid.

Next, Zhao Tian took Xue Ming to visit other brigade cadres and squad leaders. A total of 17 people were visited and they paid 17 pounds of wheat, 1 pound for both men and women.

There is still a team of warehouse managers left, and there is no one in his family, so he will have to make another trip later.

Finally, he returned to Zhao Tian's house. Xue Ming left two pounds of wheat as Zhao Tian and his wife's wages for tomorrow.

Zhao Tian said, "You go home and prepare. I will arrange for someone to demolish the house tomorrow."
