Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 57 Preparing to Build a House (Please recommend a ticket)

He Ping first went to tell the old team leader about his building a house, and after he had prepared the materials, the old team leader would broadcast it with a loudspeaker, asking the members of the team to help.

In this day and age, the whole team of men, women and children are involved in building houses in rural areas. Whoever builds a house broadcasts a shout on the loudspeaker in advance, and the people in the team will find your house early the next morning without you having to look for it, and are ready to start work.

A three-room square or tile-roofed house will rise from the ground within three days.

After talking with the old captain, He Ping and Uncle Liu split up. Uncle Liu went to contact him with building materials and craftsmen, and He Ping also had to solve the materials that Uncle Liu could not handle.

He Ping planned to go to the commune first to ask. He had some industrial tickets subsidized by the commune in his hand to see if he could buy some materials.

He Ping first went to the commune middle school by bike. After the publicity in the commune middle school yesterday afternoon, the students should have communicated with their parents when they went back. Today's intended sales should be counted.

When I arrived at the commune middle school, I found the principal's office.

The principal enthusiastically gave up his seat and said, "Comrade He is here."

"Don't be so polite."

Knowing the reason for He Ping's visit, the principal picked up a piece of paper from the desk with a smile on his face, "This is the result of the teachers' statistics, please take a look."

He Ping took it over, "126 sets?"

This figure was somewhat beyond He Ping's expectations. After all, it is a rural middle school, and the purchase rate has reached 40%, which is quite high.

The principal explained: "Nowadays, most of the children in the family drop out of school after finishing elementary school. The conditions of the family that can send their children to junior high school are not unreasonable. It is not uncommon to buy a copybook."

It made sense for He Ping to think about it. When he came this time, he brought dozens of sets of copybooks. This is what he was afraid of, so plan ahead.

He really took it with him, He Ping made up 126 sets of copybooks, and paid for the copybooks with the headmaster.

Of course, the commission to the school is deducted.

126套字帖就是126块钱，扣掉给学校的37块7毛钱，何平到手88块2毛钱。

The business has paid off in this way, and the development of the matter is much smoother than He Ping imagined.

Sometimes it is like this, many things seem difficult to you, but when you really set your heart on it and implement it step by step, you will find that it is not as difficult as you imagined.

After leaving the commune middle school, He Ping came to the commune government.

First, I found Director Mao's correspondent Zhang Guoqiang. It would not be good to contact Director Mao directly for building a house.

"Writer He, are you here to see the director?"

"Ask you something."

"It's like this. I want to build a house, but I don't have enough materials. I just want you to ask me if I can buy some materials for building the house. Didn't the commune send me some food stamps, non-staple food stamps and industrial Tickets, the number is not too many, I can change some or I can pay more."

Zhang Guoqiang hesitated for a moment. At this stage, building materials are in short supply across the country. He Ping will not need too much to build his own house. I also know that He Ping often participates in reading clubs organized by Director Mao's daughter. It is said that Director Mao's daughter also has a good impression of He Ping. This is the future director's son-in-law candidate.

Correspondents in this era are equivalent to the secretaries of later generations, and they are the absolute confidantes of the leaders. People who can become correspondents are not low in IQ and EQ. Zhang Guoqiang thought about how to do this favor after a little thought.

"Let me ask you first, building materials are in short supply now, and it's not easy to get them. What do you need?"

"Concrete, radiators, heating pipes, and squat toilets."

"Squatting toilet? Is it the kind used in the toilets of Tongzilou in the county?" Zhang Guoqiang asked. He had only seen this kind of thing a few times.

"Correct."

Zhang Guoqiang frowned and said, "This is really difficult."

"It's okay. If it's not convenient for you, I'll ask other friends."

"Well, let's ask both sides, and I'll let you know if I have a letter."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, Guoqiang." He Ping thanked.

"Don't be so polite, it is also our responsibility to solve life difficulties for you literary and art workers." Zhang Guoqiang joked.

He Ping bid farewell to Zhang Guoqiang, and rushed to the county seat. He was not in a hurry to go to the library and cultural center. Unlike the commune middle school, he put samples in these two places. There must be a time and process for people to experience it. Wait a few days. Go and catch up.

He Ping went to the department store in the county seat.

"Aisha."

When He Ping entered the department store, Liu Aixia was chatting with her colleagues, so he called out.

"He Ping, why are you here?" Liu Aixia's face was flushed like an apple, she was happy to see He Ping.

"I have something to do with you."

"What's the matter?" Liu Aixia asked innocently.

"Do you know where you can get squat toilets?"

"Squatting toilet? Do you want to use it at home? Why don't you use a toilet?"

She is really a young lady who does not eat fireworks in the world, a bit like why not eat minced meat.

"I'm going to build a new house. It's inconvenient to fill the toilet. A squatting toilet is enough. It's clean and hygienic. Just flush it with water." He Ping explained.

"Then wait a minute, and I'll ask you."

Without any hesitation, Liu Aixia ran upstairs to make a phone call.

After a few minutes, he ran down panting, and said happily, "I asked you. You can go to the Material Bureau to find Liu Aijun, and just say that I asked you to go."

He Ping never thought that Liu Aixia would ask about squatting so easily. After all, he just got an ambiguous answer from Zhang Guoqiang. It's just a common thing for girls who live in the county.

He Ping shook Liu Aixia's hand and thanked, "You have solved a big problem for me, Aixia, thank you."

Immediately, Liu Aixia's cheeks fluttered, and her already red face was intoxicating, and she said coyly, "It's just...just a little effort."

He Ping realized that his actions were a bit reckless, so he quickly let go of Liu Aixia's hand, and kept thanking her.

He Ping bought another six bottles of canned food in the department store, and gave Liu Aixia two bottles to express his gratitude before leaving.

After leaving the department store, He Ping followed Liu Aixia's instructions to find the Materials Bureau.

Liu Aijun looked to be in his 30s, with a Chinese character face and a burly figure. When they first met He Ping, he sized up He Ping for a few seconds.

"You are He Ping?"

"Brother Liu, hello, Ai Xia asked me to come here."

Liu Aijun thought that the shouting was quite affectionate, and she still loved Xia. The little girl is really getting more and more courageous now, and she doesn't tell her family when she has a date.

Liu Aijun didn't talk nonsense with He Ping, and found a squatting toilet for He Ping in the warehouse of the Materials Bureau, and gave him the pipe fittings by the way.

He planned to question and question his younger sister when he got home, and he had to let his parents know about it.
