Rebirth 1983

Chapter 7: During Pig Shed Renovation
Walking out of the house, Chen Song couldn't help laughing when he saw his sister-in-law sneaking around.

Most of the things belonging to the parents were distributed to the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Now that the sister-in-law is like this, she may think that she is here to ask for the coffin book of her parents, so she has doubts, so she came to have a look.

Chen Song also ignored her, the eldest brother is his own brother, but this sister-in-law Chen Song really can't get close, but for the sake of the eldest brother, it's hard to say anything, anyway, even if you don't come to mess with me, I don't bother to talk to you.

After leaving Chenjiaao, Chen Song came to the red brick factory in Yangjiacun next door.

The red brick factory was a collective industry before the reform and opening up. Later, Yang Dayong of Yangjia Village relied on his father being the village head of Yangjia Village to take down the red brick factory.

The red brick factory was quiet. When Chen Song walked into the factory, there was no one there. He frowned. Just as he was about to come out, he met a middle-aged man smoking a cigarette.

"Hey, who are you and how did you get in? Don't you know this is a private factory?"

"I'm here to buy some bricks, but the boss doesn't seem to be here." Chen Song looked at the man in front of him, who was wearing a big white shirt, a Shanghai watch, and a black briefcase with a torn skin under his arm.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he skillfully took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out one and handed it over: "Brother wants to buy red bricks, I'm the boss, what's your surname?"

"You're Boss Yang. I'm from Chenjia'ao next door. I'm building a house." Taking the cigarette handed over by Yang Dayong skillfully, Chen Song glanced at it. It's the cooling terrace of this era. It costs about eight cents a pack, and it's not bad.

"Brother Chen, I don't know how many red bricks Brother Chen plans to buy. I have good quality and can produce enough bricks from all over the world. Who doesn't know that the red bricks produced by Yang Dayong's red brick factory are of the best quality." Yang Dayong patted his chest to assure.

Taking a puff of cigarette after a long absence, Chen Song took a deep puff, protruding a puff of smoke ring, the familiar smell of smoke poured into his lungs, and the long-lost refreshing feeling, unexpectedly, his body didn't react and choked directly.

Smoking is harmful to your health. If you live a new life, you should be responsible for your body.

After pinching his cigarette, Chen Song replied: "Don't worry, I want to know how much is your red brick, Boss Yang?"

Yang Dayong was stunned, looking at Chen Song's young face, he thought he was a fool, but he didn't expect to see him smoking, he was definitely an old hand, and he didn't dare to fool him at the moment, he tried to quote: "Then we will make friends and give you a cheap price, five yuan for one cent, and some discounts for large quantities."

"Eight percent."

"What? Eight per cent! This is not acceptable, the price cannot be paid." Yang Dayong shook his head.

"Don't worry, Boss Yang, your red brick factory isn't doing well recently. I heard that you can't even pay the wages of the workers. Look, there isn't a single worker here today."

"What's the matter, my red bricks are used in ten miles and eight towns, so how can the benefits be bad? Today is a holiday, so the workers didn't come, so don't talk nonsense."

"Bali, 1 yuan bricks, I'll pay on the spot." Chen Song took out a few cards of Great Unity and put them in the palm of his hand.

"Pay on the spot? Don't delay the end of the year?" Yang Dayong was stunned and asked suspiciously.

Those who do projects know that construction materials will not be paid on the spot, and whoever delays the payment for several months, or even at the end of the year, and some people who have difficulty in capital turnover, if they are delayed like this, may even break their capital chain and go bankrupt.

Yang Dayong's red brick factory is in this situation. In order to maintain the factory, Yang Dayong tried his best, but the efficiency is not good. The factory even lost a lot of money for raw materials and workers' wages.

If Chen Song could pay in cash on the spot, at least the factory could be turned around and it would not be so difficult.

In fact, Yang Dayong was already a little moved, but such a low price of [-]% still made him hesitate, but seeing the blue unity ticket in Chen Song's hand, he finally made up his mind.

"That's okay, I will suffer a little bit, and give Brother Chen a discount, [-]% for [-]%."

Chen Song asked Yang Dayong to send the red bricks to Chenjiaao's own pig shed, and then he was ready to go back.

With 80 yuan less, there are only people in their early fifties left in their hands. According to Chen Song's plan, it should be enough to renovate the pig shed, but there will not be much left.

"Money is never enough."

Back in the pig shed, Chen Song saw his father, Chen Aiguo, beckoning the uncles in the three villages to move some tools for the house.Chen Song hurried forward and handed over the Qingliangtai cigarettes that Yang Dayong had brought in just now.

"Dad, some uncles."

Chen Aiguo nodded slightly, and was not surprised when he saw the cigarettes handed over by Chen Song. After all, he knew that his son had taken the risk to pick honey, and he could still pay for a pack of cigarettes.

"It's ok, baby Song, I've already smoked on the balcony, it's a good smoke." The uncles and uncles didn't know that Chen Song had some spare money, and they thought that Chen Aiguo paid for the renovation of the pig shed.

"Uncles have worked hard, and the red brick will not arrive until later. Today, let's go to the back mountain to get some trees."

"Okay, just drink this cigarette, and my uncles have to help you fix this house."

The uncles laughed. They seldom smoked cigarettes, and occasionally they would get some hay rolls to enjoy themselves. Seeing Chen Song being generous, they would not be stingy with their labor.

There are many trees in the back mountain, and there are few houses in the village. Naturally, there are few trees to cut down. The trees are not only tall, but also strong and straight.

Chen Aiguo took a few uncles and Chen Song to a flat place in the back mountain, cut down a few trees at random, and pulled them back easily with a log stick.

When several big trees were pulled back, it happened that Yang Dayong came to send red bricks.

Now, it's all set.

"Son, tell me how to change this shed." Chen Aiguo looked at Chen Song.

Chen Song took out an old calendar from his bosom, and turned it to the other side. On it was a diagram of the structure of the house. Although it was rough, it was clear and simple, and the uncles could understand it at a glance.

"I didn't expect Songwazi to have this ability. The design of this house is good, and there is no need to touch the overall structure of the pig shed."

"This is the first time I've seen a house design drawing. I heard that only people in the city can draw pictures. Songwazi is not easy."

"Brother Aiguo, you are so lucky. The eldest son gave birth to a grandson. The third son has built his own house and can draw pictures. I heard that the fourth son does well in school!"

A few uncles looked at the picture, chatted and talked crookedly.

Chen Aiguo stopped them from nagging, and quickly took them to work.

Remove the old wooden boards of the pig shed, remove the broken leather and straw on the roof of the pig shed, and clean up the pig shed, leaving only the main structure.

After finishing all this, the sun had already set. Chen Song told his uncles to stop and continue tomorrow. Unexpectedly, an unexpected person came.

Wang Yao, she came holding a slim hand and carrying a bowl of stewed meat.
