Reborn in the 1980s to run to a better life

Chapter 14 Building the Oven

In Lin Liqing's eyes, these bricks are treasures!She has a total of more than 1000 yuan in her hand. This time Lin Changmin was hospitalized and she spent more than a dozen yuan. Although Lin Guosheng wanted to return the ten yuan to her, she didn't want it. How could she not express that her own father was hospitalized?If she took Lin Guosheng's money, she would be ashamed to live in her natal family.

Now if you spend tens of dollars to buy bricks and ask someone to help you, don’t you have to spend more money?In this way, it will cost more than 100 to do nothing.

It's hard to make money these days, and she's not sure if the banana chips can make money. If she can't make money and lose so much money, she doesn't have the confidence to negotiate with Yan Jianguo when he comes back.

Seeing that Lin Liqing was so happy, Lin Guoan followed suit, "Well, what are you going to do?"

Lin Liqing hurriedly led them to the small side door in the backyard. Opening the small side door, there was a small open space. One side was their house, and the other three sides were other people's houses. They were all high walls and could not be seen at all. The scenery outside, also because of this, the light here is a bit dim, and it looks quiet and lonely.

On weekdays, their family would not come here, so they built a shed to keep out the wind and rain. On the wall were a few coir raincoats that were eliminated in the early years, and some were damaged so badly that they could not be used anymore and they were reluctant to throw them away. The farm tools that were lost, as well as the farm tools used in the early years, and the big hammer.

These are usually not used, but they are worth some money, so they are all piled up here.

Lin Guoan hadn't opened this small side door for several years, and it was a bit novel at first glance, "Why? You want to set up a brick kiln here to bake bananas?"

Lin Liqing nodded her head vigorously, "This place is the most suitable, outsiders can't enter it, and if the scent disperses, I don't know who made it. If someone asks, I can't tell clearly, or just pass it vaguely. I can't just go to our backyard to check. Bar!"

Although the people in the village don't pay attention to it, they don't knock on the door when they go in and out of other people's houses, but when they go to other people's houses, they go to the main room at most, and it is impossible to go back far. clear.

This is also a customary rule in the village.

"You really are a clever little ghost!" Lin Guoan nodded Lin Liqing's head, smiled dotingly, rolled up his sleeves resignedly, "Let me clean it up for you! Also, can you build it?"

Lin Liqing shook her head honestly, "I don't know, but our family still has a technical director! Three cobblers are worth a Zhuge Liang."

Lin Changmin is good at building stoves, and the red brick oven should not be a problem for him.

"Just toss about it!" Lin Guoan was speechless, but he still worked for Lin Liqing quickly while complaining.

These things are all heavy, and it took more than half an hour to get them all out.

After the shed was cleaned up, Lin Guoan said very pertinently: "I don't know what my parents thought at the time. This place is not small, so it would be appropriate to build another room!"

Chen Meiyun brought them water, and explained after hearing the words: "It's not that poor! At that time, as long as there is more money, this place can't be empty!"

The house of their family was not built in one go, and continued to be repaired for five years. At that time, a family in the village had no separate families and there were not enough rooms, so internal strife broke out and people were killed.

The old couple were terrified. They thought that they had three sons and two daughters. When the sons got married and had grandchildren, it would not be a problem even if they built another house. It would be better to let them separate early, anyway. Together, I am not afraid that my son and daughter-in-law will be unfilial, so I am less interested in building more houses, and I have saved all the extra money, and this small courtyard has been vacated.

Lin Liqing said with a playful smile: "Mom, this is just right. Let me rent this small courtyard first, and I will pay you the rent when I earn money."

"We'll talk about it after you earn money!" Chen Meiyun didn't directly refuse, after all the other children were watching, and everyone felt at ease after Lin Liqing paid the rent.

Early the next morning, Chen Meiyun went to someone in the village who had leftover cement to buy some cement and came back. The father and daughter hid in the small courtyard and planned for a long time, including how to build it and where to build it. After discussing it, construction started in the afternoon.

When Lin Guoan came over from get off work, the base of the oven had already been built.

Lin Liqing wants to achieve the function of multi-layer baking, so the whole oven is about 1.5 meters high. The inside is made of bamboo, the inner layer is built with adobe, the outer layer is wrapped with red brick cement soil, and the outermost layer is made of bamboo. Insulate around.

Lin Liqing and his daughter have no idea whether this thing can be used or not. Fortunately, these materials don't cost much, so they can be used as a shelf if they can't be used. .

Lin Guoan originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that the father and daughter were so open-minded, come on, his worries are useless.

Back home, Yu Xiaoping asked a few more questions, "Can my sister-in-law's oven really work? Why do I think this is a bit false! Why don't you just buy some bananas from the village at a low price and transport them to distant counties for sale? How much more money can I make!"

Jiaonan Village and Jiaobei Village are well-known local banana producing areas. Every household grows bananas, and they will definitely not be able to eat them all. Most of them use tricycles to transport them to the city for sale.

Bananas can be grown here all year round. Bananas are sold in every solar term. The price is not good, but the advantage is that bananas are easy to take care of. The village is even stronger.

Lin Guoan shook his head, "I don't like it either, but I can do it if I want, and if it doesn't work, she will stop thinking about it."

The main reason why Lin Guoan indulged Lin Liqing so much was that Lin Liqing's marriage was facilitated by him alone.

When he was about to leave the army, Yan Jianguo happened to join the army and was assigned to their unit. Lin Guoan knew that Yan Jianguo was a fellow and took extra care of him. He even saved Yan Jianguo's life during a mission.

At that time, Yan Jianguo sincerely said that he wanted to repay his kindness, and Lin Guoan thought of Lin Liqing, who was unable to do heavy work because of asthma. Everyone in the nearby villages knew about Lin Liqing's physical condition. Who would spend money to marry an ancestor and go home as a sacrifice?After coming and going, Lin Liqing's marriage became the top priority of the family.

Lin Guoan tentatively raised the matter, but Yan Jianguo agreed without hesitation, and immediately sent a telegram back to ask his family to help him.

The Yan family definitely objected, but Yan Jianguo went back in person despite all the arguments, and went to the Lin family to beg for marriage.

At that time, Lin Guoan was as upset as he was optimistic about Yan Jianguo at that time, and even thought that Lin Liqing's current misfortune was caused by his hasty behavior.

Yu Xiaoping nodded slightly, and said: "It just so happens that some bananas are ripe at home, I'll send them to her tomorrow, let her try it, so as to save her from wasting money."

"Daughter-in-law, you are so kind!" Lin Guoan looked at Yu Xiaoping gratefully.
