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

When he left Dalinzhai Village as a child, Zhang Ziming went back home first.

I looked at the bricks piled next to me and felt very friendly.

When you build a house for your parents, can you use bricks made in your own village?There is no need to go all the way to other places to pull bricks.

I didn't stay long. My father and second uncle hadn't finished collecting the materials yet, and they weren't at home either.

As soon as my thighs kicked up, I pedaled my bicycle and set off in the direction of Min'an County.

First, he went to Xu Yimin's place, returned the bicycle, and explained what he wanted to do now.

Xu Yimin was willing to help, and said that he was willing to actually spend some of his money to help Zhang Ziming set up the factory.

Of course Zhang Ziming shied away, and he would wait until he became self-employed before helping.

However, Xu Yimin still needs a little help now.

The bicycle ticket awarded by the commune will be used today.

After some operations, Zhang Ziming pushed a "Big Golden Deer" bicycle out of the Min'an County Department Store.

Looking at this brand new bicycle, Zhang Ziming was also very excited, even though it was just an ordinary bicycle.

It has been a month since I was reborn.

Finally I have a bicycle of my own.

No more walking or borrowing a bike.

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

The road from the department store to the county paper mill was not far, but Zhang Ziming rode very slowly.

It’s not that new bicycles are hard to ride, nor is it that cement roads are hard to walk on.

Instead, he was thinking about his three uncles and three aunts.

I thought it would be better not to go to the third uncle's house and meet directly at the paper factory.

In the previous life, the relationship between my father and his third uncle and third aunt was not good because he could not borrow money;

But now, the third uncle came back and gave 100 yuan to help build a house.

If it's just two adobe houses, 100 yuan is really a lot.

The cost of the adobe house is not high, the adobe is free, the doors and windows are small, and the wood is small. It just costs a little money to make a living.

You can build an adobe house for two to three hundred yuan.

The third uncle can come up with 100 yuan, which is really a lot.

When he arrived at the county paper factory, Zhang Ziming reported his name to the guard.

After smoking a cigarette, the third uncle Zhang Zhongli came out.

The third uncle's name is Zhang Zhongli. When my grandfather chose his name, he ranked it according to "benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust".

If there are fourth uncles and fifth uncles, they have to be called Zhang Zhongzhi and Zhang Zhongxin.

The third uncle was still very kind to his nephew and greeted Zhang Ziming home when they met.

The family courtyard of the county paper mill is not very far from the paper mill workshop.

However, Zhang Ziming had no intention of going home. He had to rush back to see how the materials were doing.

Although I left it to my father and second uncle, I can't just be a hands-off shopkeeper.

This time I came here mainly to thank my third uncle. He took out the fabric in his bag and said:

"Third Uncle, I went on a long trip a while ago and brought you some pieces of fabric. Take it. You, Third Aunt, Ziying and Zi Lei can each make a shirt to wear."

Of course the third uncle was happy, but looking at the "Qingliang" fabric in his hand, he also felt that it was a bit expensive. It could make four shirts.

Seeing this nephew who made tens of dollars every time he made a move, the third uncle also shied away.

It's not a false excuse, it just feels precious.

I know my nephew makes money, but this gift is really too heavy.

Of course Zhang Ziming had to let his third uncle accept it. These cloths were meant to provide welfare to his relatives.

After talking about it and sending fabrics to the second uncle, the third uncle no longer persisted.

What's wrong with a nephew's filial piety?

When I get home, I'll show it to the old ladies at home.

Don't look down on your brothers, nephews, and nieces from your hometown all day long. His parents' family is in good condition, but have they ever given him "Zhenliang"?

Even the old coarse cloth never sent it to her mother's house. On the contrary, she always sent it to her mother's house from time to time.

Ordinarily, Zhang Zhongli works in a county paper factory, and his conditions are better than those of his two brothers who live in their hometown in the countryside.

He thought that it would be a normal thing to take out some old work clothes for his two brothers to wear.

But just because he doesn't make the decision at home, he really hasn't done much to help his two brothers back home in recent years.

The two brothers in the family are proud of his work as a worker in the city, and they even save some seasonal vegetables and send them over from time to time.

This is all past history.

Thinking that my nephew was in the limelight some time ago and now he is riding a brand new bicycle.

Zhang Zhongli knows that his two brothers in his hometown can now turn around.

The conditions at home should have improved a lot. The last time he went back to give away the 100 yuan, the amount of meat in the cooking at home made him, an old worker who earns 40 yuan a month, feel that it was ridiculous.

Hearing that his nephew wanted to go back in a hurry, the third uncle didn't force him.

But before leaving, he said:

Next time I come to the county, I must eat at home.

Zhang Ziming quickly agreed, got on his bicycle and hurried back.

When I passed the Shanqian Village brigade, I thought about going to the homes of Yang Dajiang and Yang Xiaojiang and chatting about the "Chen Liang" cloth.

Coincidentally.

When walking in the village, I met the two brothers of the Yang family.

The two brothers were preparing to go to the commune with their fine grains to exchange for coarse grains.

Zhang Ziming knew that the two Yang brothers had huge appetites.

There are three strong men in the family, and they have a total of four mouths to eat. That is to say, when the wheat first comes down, they can eat some multi-grain steamed buns.

Gradually, the multigrain steamed buns with some white flour were replaced by pure multigrain steamed buns.

It is estimated that the small amount of fine grain in hand has been carefully preserved and not intended to be touched. It is kept in hand and taken out to the guests when something happens.

Rural people are like this. Even if they don't have anything to eat, they will give the best to their guests.

In the 80s and 90s, it was common for guests at home or for a banquet to drink from noon to evening and end up drunk in the ditch on the way home.

It's not because drunkards are greedy for drinks, it's just because there was a shortage of it in that era.

If you catch up, then you have a good meal, which is nothing to be ashamed of.

If you don’t have enough to eat, who cares if you lose face?

Besides, everyone has the same virtue.

Zhang Ziming knew that the Yang brothers might not have enough food at home, so he took out the only fine grains at home.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ziming did not hesitate anymore and said sincerely:

"Dajiang, Xiaojiang, don't change this food yet. Go home and wait for me. I'll be back later."

Ignoring Da Jiang and Xiao Jiang's calls, Zhang Ziming quickly rode back.

Half an hour later, Zhang Ziming came back.

There is a bag of grain and a large bundle of cloth behind the bicycle; there is also some meat hanging on the front.

It was only natural to give these to the Yang brothers. It was the Yang brothers who helped him find the rough sapphires.

The food was given to the Yang brothers. Although these two brothers were good at work, they also had surprisingly large appetites.

The "Que Liang" fabric was sold to the Yang brothers.

Zhang Ziming had already divided the fabric into three parts. One part was given to Zhang Xiaoyong to sell, one part was kept for himself as a gift, and the other part was given to the Yang brothers;

As for how to sell it, there are many instructions and instructions, and it must be said to be "exchange" to the outside world.

By the end of the year, the policy will be relaxed, and small businesses can be done openly.

Yang Dajiang held Zhang Ziming's hand tightly and said with great gratitude:

"Ziming, I know you are kind-hearted to help us two brothers. Don't worry, these fabrics will be processed for you. After the processing is completed, we will send you the money."

Yang Dajiang only regarded this bag of grain as wages from selling cloth.

There is a separate wage for selling fabrics, but Zhang Ziming won't talk about it now. He will distribute the money to the Yang brothers after the goods are sold out.

"Yes, Ziming, we two brothers will remember your love."

Yang Xiaojiang also burst into tears of gratitude.

Remember the love, remember the love, but Zhang Ziming really still needs to rush home.

Zhang Ziming is not being pretentious either:

"Dajiang, Xiaojiang, I have to rush home. I'm collecting materials at home. I have to go back and take a look. I'll come over to see you two in a few days."

After learning that Zhang Ziming was going to build a new house soon, the Yang brothers said they must go over and help build the house.

You must send a letter when work will start, and the two brothers can come over at any time.

It’s better to have more people, so Zhang Ziming was no longer polite and hurried back.
