I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 113, Old Xu with a black face
Old Xu is indeed very powerful. In one afternoon, he dug out a depth of more than two meters or almost three meters.

After changing for many years, the speed has accelerated a lot.

Not long after, his two elder brothers also came back, and it took many years before they were liberated.

Come to the side of the central courtyard, along the road for many years, came to the public toilet.

An underground trench has been dug to get here.

You only need to wait until tomorrow, when the prefabricated cement pipes have solidified and dried out, and then they can be pre-buried and backfilled.

The public toilets are really smelly.

Flies are flying everywhere, and these flies are different from ordinary flies in the house.

Just stayed for a while, and then left for many years.

Back to the side room, the stairs, the second floor, etc. have been completely solidified, very strong, even if you jump a few times, there is no problem at all, just like staying on the ground.

"After the sewer ditch is buried tomorrow, let's start removing the formwork."

Fan Guiming nodded, and knocked on the load-bearing column again, indicating that there was no problem.

It's summer, and for two days, the concrete is hard enough.

After removing the formwork, you can scrape the white ash, and then clean up the house, and the whole renovation process is complete.

Everything is going well, and it is certain that the marriage will not be delayed for many years.

The Golden Crow fell to the west, and Fan Guiming and his masters also called it a day and went home.

Compared with the workers who get the iron rice bowl, the working hours are fixed, and they all work eight hours a day.

Masons like Fan Guiming are completely different. They work on a contract basis, and the master can earn more, but the apprentices only get five yuan.

That's it, it's not like there's work every day.

Yi Zhonghai and the others knew about the old Xu's family right away when they came back from get off work.

Knowing that Lao Xu was digging a well in his own kitchen, Yi Zhonghai and the others lost their composure and came to watch and inquire.

In fact, it is mainly to ask about the automatic water pump for many years.

Yesterday's situation was already very obvious, the matter of the water tower could not be done at all.

If you want to help for free for many years, then don't even think about it.

If that's the case, let's get what we need.

Some families really don't need tap water, but Yi Zhonghai and the others definitely do.

In the face of Yi Zhonghai's inquiries, they have been straightforward for many years, first dig the well, and then use the money to buy an automatic pump from him.

As for the plumbing, he's not responsible.

"Then why dig a well first? Can't you help us buy an automatic pump first?"

Xu Damao, who was watching, hated being in the limelight for many years, so he spoke.

The latter didn't even raise his eyelids, "Idiot, the well you dug won't produce any water, so what's the use of holding a water pump?"

When everyone heard the words, they nodded in agreement, and Yi Zhonghai even gave a thumbs up: He has been a good boy for many years, and he doesn't cheat anyone!
Looking at the many years of being praised by everyone, Xu Damao's face was almost distorted with jealousy.

Nima, he pretended to be there again, but I delivered it to the door
After getting the answer, Yi Zhonghai and others left in satisfaction.

He Yuzhu didn't leave, and asked how much it would cost to dig a well for many years?

He doesn't have much time to dig a well himself, and the laundry trough is not far from his house, but it's probably the same as it has been for many years, and the other neighbors are definitely not happy about it.

There are more than [-] families in the whole courtyard, the east and the west are short, and there will be quarrels at that time. When He Yuzhu thinks of that scene, he has a headache.

So, he wanted to ask for many years to see if he could dig a well for him.

As a result, after many years without speaking, Xu Danian next to him stretched out two fingers:

"For 20 yuan, we will provide labor and materials for you."

hiss!
When He Yuzhu heard this, he took a deep breath. Isn't this too expensive?

Although he now earns 37 yuan a month, and there is not much to spend money on now.

But it costs 20 yuan to dig a well. Isn't this taking him for granted?
Old Xu kicked Xu Danian directly, and scolded: "See if you can, can you buy cement? Just talk nonsense if you don't understand anything, and just wait."

The latter immediately bowed his head like a quail and stopped talking.

"Silly Zhu, don't listen to my boss's nonsense, you can ask other people to see if they can help you dig a well."

Digging a well is easy, but contracting labor and materials is not so simple.

Or people like Fan Guiming who specialize in these tasks will do it for you.

Either find the masters who dig wells, or a layman who knows how to do it for many years.

Moreover, digging a well is also a matter of luck, although the laundry tank is not far from He Yuzhu's house.

It stands to reason that digging a well in He Yuzhu's house is not a big problem.

But who knows if the well dug can produce water?
He Yuzhu was dumbfounded when he heard what Old Xu said.

He didn't even think that the 20 yuan fee was too expensive, so he was rejected?
What a fuck!

Seeing that Lao Xu's expression was not a joke, He Yuzhu had no choice but to leave in embarrassment.

After He Yuzhu left, Xu Nian curiously asked his father, why?
According to his elder brother's words, digging a well with 20 yuan of labor and materials is completely feasible and can make a lot of money.

But Lao Xu actually rejected this proposal, which is really incomprehensible.

When Old Xu heard this, his face darkened, and he glared at him, telling the second child to shut up.

The latter looked bewildered, Fan Zhaodi was helpless, her man was too impulsive to hold back.

So, she had no choice but to lower her head and whisper a few words in her man's ear, Xu Nian suddenly realized.

In the morning, Lao Xu went to buy cement with a note, but returned empty-handed. The family knew very well that only the eldest and the second eldest worked in the rolling mill, so they didn't know about it.

To dig a well, you need to use stone strips, cement, etc. to strengthen the walls around the well.

What happened this morning also made everyone understand that cement is in short supply and it is not so easy to buy.

I have to go to the street office to get a note, and I have to spend money. The key is that I have to be angry and give gifts when I go to the cement factory.

Therefore, this money is not easy to earn.

Old Xu's original intention was that he didn't want to continue wading through the muddy waters, so he just went to work in the rolling mill honestly, so what extra money would he earn?
If someone reports speculation or something and loses his job, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?
It's really hard to say.

The atmosphere at home was a bit dull, there was only the sound of eating, and no one spoke.

Suddenly, Old Xu Chao Nian asked:

"For your water pump, do you really need 13 yuan for materials?"

Undoubtedly, Old Xu still has some doubts about this.

"Of course, Dad, if you don't believe me, go buy the materials yourself and see if you can assemble them?"

Many times, for many years, I really want to ask, is he really Lao Xu's biological son?

I always feel that Lao Xu doesn't trust him very much.

In fact, it's not just himself, like his elder brother and second brother, he is also not trusted by Lao Xu.

Maybe in Lao Xu's view, his son has not grown up yet, not to mention messy things, and not thoughtful enough, so he always maintains a skeptical attitude.

Hearing his firm tone, Old Xu nodded silently again, and didn't say anything more.

After dinner, I wanted to take Qin Huairu out for a walk to digest food for many years, but his elder brother and second brother dragged him away.

The purpose of the two brothers is very simple, that is to ask about the situation at the cement factory.

Then they want to go out and pick up jobs by themselves to make extra money.

It is definitely not possible in the courtyard, but what about outside?
There must be someone who is willing to pay for it, and the self-made automatic water pump can be made for many years, so this project can be done.

As a result, he shook his head and refused for many years.

When the two brothers saw it, they were immediately anxious. How could they miss out on such a job to earn extra money?
"Third brother, it's not that you don't know. Your second brother and I haven't dared to have children so far, it's because the house at home is not enough."

"Our two brothers both want to earn some money and then buy a house. Otherwise, how dare we have children?"

"If you miss such a good opportunity right now, you won't be able to meet it in the future."

What they said was sincere, and it was also the first time they had expressed their hearts to their third brother.

After they finished complaining, they still shook their heads for many years.

He also said that he would not help with this matter, and he would not stop him if he wanted to earn extra money.

But if you want to pull him in, that won't work.

"Father's attitude is already obvious, I don't want to be beaten by him with a cane"

After hearing such resolute words for many years, the two brothers were completely anxious.

However, without waiting for the two brothers to speak, many years went on to say:

"However, I think you should ask dad about this matter. I don't think dad will refuse to work as a coolie."

When the two brothers heard this, the corners of their mouths became even more bitter.

If possible, they would have asked about it a long time ago, but their father is a stubborn old man, and the decision will definitely not be changed.

"You didn't even ask, how did you know that Dad would refuse?"

Many years smiled, then comforted his two older brothers, and encouraged them to be bold.

The two brothers, who were dubious, went home to ask Lao Xu.

When the latter heard this, and he himself wanted to have a full house of children and grandchildren, he agreed to the matter.

The two brothers were so happy that they jumped up on the spot.

But Lao Xu said, you can't find something to do by yourself, you have to ask your third brother about it.

"Why?" Xu Niannian was very puzzled. He was doing coolie work, but he still had to ask the third child?This doesn't mean that he is incompetent as an older brother.

Old Xu glared at iron and steel, and said:
"Are you stupid? Your third brother is quick-witted, and he must be the right one for this matter. Forget it, you go and call the third brother over, and I will ask him."

For many years at this time, he was pressing the road with Qin Huairu, but there were four oversized light bulbs beside him.

"Third uncle, third uncle, isn't your design institute very big?"

"Third uncle, when can we go to your unit to have a look? It's good to just have a look at the door."

"Third uncle, when can you move in your house? I don't want to go to the public toilet over there."

There are three little ones around, chattering, not boring at all.

Qin Huairu enjoys it very much now. She is thinking that she will have more children in the future, and the family can go out for a stroll on the main road every day.

In the capital city in summer, the nights are still very cool.

There is the moon and stars at night, and the faint light can barely see the front clearly.

Therefore, many people took advantage of this time to either take a walk and chat, or squat in a ventilated place to cool off.

After walking for a while, Xu Niannian found him, and everyone had to finish their walk and go home to sleep.

In the room, after listening to Old Xu's words, he pondered for a moment for many years and said:
"Father, this matter is actually very simple. Ask the first and second uncles tomorrow to see if they want someone to dig a well."

"At that time, they will be responsible for determining the location of the well, and we will only be responsible for contracting the labor, not for other things."

It is more troublesome for the owner to contract labor but not materials.

But like many years ago, he knew about construction, so he often contracted labor but not materials, but Yi Zhonghai and the others, it may not be the case.

However, they are all ruthless people, of course they want to save money.

After all, if the material is packaged, the price will definitely be more expensive.

Although the prices are very stable now, and you can know the approximate price after a little inquiry, the key is that it is difficult to buy.

In the planned economy, coupled with the lack of supplies and everything, how could it be possible to get supplies so smoothly?

The two brothers didn't take it seriously after hearing what they said for many years. Old Xu shook his head and didn't say anything.

In the next day, I still get up early and run in the morning for many years. This time I learned how to behave, and went directly to the elementary school yesterday for training.

Although he shouldn't be so unlucky, he doesn't want to take chances. If something unexpected happened again, he would be speechless.

After training, he returned home and had breakfast, and then he went to the middle court to look for Yi Zhonghai.

The latter heard that for many years the eldest brother and the second brother wanted to contract labor to help dig the well, so they immediately agreed.

He even wanted many years to pack the materials, but many years directly refused.

The contract fee was eight yuan, and Xu Danian and Xu Niannian shared it equally, earning four yuan each.

The price is not low.

It’s true that digging wells is hard work, but hard work is worthless now, or it has always been worthless.

It's good to have a job, what else do you want?

After taking this matter down, I haven't gone to the backyard to look for Liu Haizhong for many years.

After all, his elder brother and second brother had to work for at least a week, and Liu Haizhong might not be able to wait, so he didn't bother to ask.

The two brothers were very happy when they heard the good news.

Hu Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi are also very happy, as long as they have money, it will be very good.

In fact, to Yi Haizhong, this incident was almost like whoring for nothing.

After all, he had lent 500 yuan for many years, but only for one year, and the interest was ten yuan.

Using the interest to hire two older brothers who have been there for many years to help dig the well, Yi Zhonghai can still earn two yuan.

Fan Guiming and his masters also came to work. Today, they buried the prefabricated cement pipes into the sewer ditch, and after backfilling, they began to dismantle the formwork.

After a brief communication with the masters, I set off to work after many years.

When he arrived at the design institute, Lin Xiachuan came to call him. He heard that Dean Shen had something to do with him.

As soon as Chen Xiaoxian and the others arrived, they saw that they had followed Lin Xiachuan for many years and left in the direction of Dean Shen's office, so they didn't know what to say.

Team leader Xu is awesome!
