Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Satisfied, very satisfied. I didn't expect to have such a good job even in a year of famine.

The price is reasonable and there are multiple options for wages. You can get meat if you want it and you can get money if you want it.

They saw the pork with their own eyes, it was real, and the coal truck took away two pieces.

Combined with what Wang Zhenguo and Zhang Mazi said, in just two days, the brick factory had already taken away six wild boars. Although this boss is not very old, he is really capable.

The most important thing is that relatives and neighbors can also get a share.

Especially since two meals are provided, that saves a lot of money.

According to a rough calculation, the extra income this year will not be less than 50 yuan. Not only will I not have to worry about the New Year this year, but I can also have a good New Year.

"Boss, how about we go back and find someone now?"

Wang Fugui was so excited just thinking about it that he wanted to go back home immediately and call all his aunts and uncles over. If he could make money, he would definitely give priority to his relatives and friends.

"Looking for someone? That's fine."

"And Master Wang, when you come tomorrow, remember to get on the cart and bring shovels and other tools."

Liu Guozheng thought about it and realized that the lime could not be used until tomorrow, and the bricklayers could not work now, so he might as well go back and find someone else.

Wang Fugui and Wang Mantang wanted to go back to find someone, but Zhang Youcai and Zhang Youfu were anxious. This was not okay. Who doesn't have a few idle people? Zhang Youfu hurriedly winked at Zhang Youcai, and Zhang Youcai hurriedly said, "Boss, let's go back and find someone too."

"How about this, you guys stop fighting over it. Each of you will get five spots, no more."

"Start today and you can get an extra day's pay."

"Think about it. Should we go back and find someone, or start working today?"

There are indeed some problems with the previous considerations. It is better to explain them all at once. Otherwise, if each of them finds you a dozen workers, that would be 40 to 50 people. Wouldn't you become the one who is taken advantage of?

"Boss, let's get started now."

"Yes, I'll find someone when I get back tonight."

After listening to Liu Guozheng's words, Zhang Youcai and Zhang Youfu felt relieved and decided to earn more money. The food bought with two yuan could last for eight or nine days.

"Ugh!"

The boss had made the arrangements, and Wang Fugui and Wang Mantang had no choice. Their little plan had not worked out, so they had to do it this way. Forget about the relatives, their own big family was enough. The two of them were not leaving, so they decided to work for a day.

The wood is ready, plenty of it, and all good wood.

The beams, rafters, doors and windows were all carpentry work. When Zhang Youcai and Zhang Youfu arrived, they brought their tools with them and could start working right away.

The beams are made of elm, which has straight grain, clear patterns, good elasticity, and more importantly, is not easy to deform or crack, and is resistant to moisture and corrosion. If the roof leaks, the elm beams will not decay in the short term.

In addition, "elm" and "yu" are homophones, which means "surplus at home". Therefore, people like to use elm to make roof beams.

The rafters are made of locust wood, which is also known as the "ghost-hiding wood". If locust wood is used as the rafters for building a house, it can use the "house ghost" to resist the invasion of the "outside ghost", thus playing the role of "guarding the house". Therefore, people like to use locust wood as rafters when building a house.

The purlins are relatively casual. If there is enough wood, of course you can choose good materials. Other fast-growing woods are also fine, such as traditional paulownia, poplar, etc.

"Masters, that window should be made bigger so that the room can be brighter."

In the 1950s and 1960s, the windows of rural houses were made very small for insulation. When the weather was bad, especially in winter, you could not see anything in the house long ago.

It was not until the 1980s and 1990s, when new houses were being rebuilt, that large windows were built for better lighting, and some houses would even have several small windows on the back wall. It is worth mentioning that the bridges above the window holes were mostly made of square wood, and only families with better financial conditions used concrete. Of course, you can also use stone strips, provided you have them.

"We can do the job, and the boss can rest assured."

Oh my god, I heard this sentence again. Fortunately, it wasn’t Erlang who said it, otherwise I would really be worried.

"Comrade Liu, we have other tasks this afternoon, so I'll come back tomorrow."

"Ok."

After unloading the bricks, Wang Zhenguo and Zhang Mazi each received five more kilograms of potatoes, which was what we promised them yesterday.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"toot toot"

Oh my god, here comes another car.

What kind of habit is this? No one can give you a beep.

"Comrade Liu, Comrade Liu, look what I brought you."

Li Dabao started shouting before getting off the car.

After hearing the shouting, I realized that this was a car from the textile factory. There were four people in the car, two of whom were carrying guns. They should be comrades from the security department of the textile factory.

Erlang pointed at the two people in the car and said excitedly: "Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, gun, gun."

"Don't move, I know that's a gun."

I grabbed Erleng, afraid that he would run over in excitement and cause misunderstanding.

"Brother Zheng, I just want to touch it."

Seeing that people had raised their guns, Erdeng was frightened for a moment, but fortunately Brother Zheng pulled him back.

"You kid, you are so impetuous, are you looking for death?"

Not to mention Erlang was scared, Liu Guozheng was also a little scared. Didn't he see the two guys in the car with their guns raised?

"Brother Shi, Brother Wei, calm down, calm down, we are one family."

Li Dabao shouted hurriedly, if Erlang was really shot twice, it would be a big problem.

Hearing Li Dabao's shout, the two people in the car relaxed, and they breathed a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease. At the same time, they were also afraid, after all, there were still many enemy spies these days, and many people had their guns taken away or were shot.

"Comrade Liu, take a look at the things in the car. Are you satisfied?"

Good guy.

Liu Guozheng said directly: Wow.

Only then did I notice the things in the car.

A bicycle.

A tricycle.

It's not new, but it's about 80% new. It looks to be in good condition and has been well maintained.

"Brother Zheng, a foreign car."

"Can I touch it?"

Erlang became even more excited. Although he didn't touch the gun, he could at least touch the bicycle, right?

This is a rickshaw. The village chief doesn’t have one, and I have only seen one on the way to escape famine.

"Comrade Erlang, the guns can't be moved, but the rickshaw can still be moved."

Several people lent a hand and unloaded the bicycles and tricycles, and also loaded a few pieces of cloth onto the tricycle.

Li Dabao said proudly: "Comrade Liu, how is it? Are you satisfied?"

This is really unexpected.

Don't be fooled by Li Dabao's narrow eyes, he really has opened up his mind.

I have to say, this guy is really talented.

As long as your mind is open, work will be easier.

Either someone hadn't given him advice, or he had never met a client as big as himself, otherwise he would not have failed to complete the task in the first two months.
