Life 1984

Chapter 93 Li Yunhai, you are going to shake things up!
Li Yunhai bought some meat in the county town and came back.

Now that he has money, he spends money generously.

The Li family's dinner was extremely sumptuous.

There are Linzhi’s favorite pork blood meatballs, stir-fried pork belly with fresh chili peppers, a large pot of local chicken, and a bowl of perfectly braised pig’s trotters.

Lin Zhi followed Li Yunhai to the Li family twice in a row. The Li family knew that this fairy-like little girl was Li Yunhai's love interest without asking any questions, so they treated her very well, fearing that they would not treat her well or treat her poorly. I neglected this good girl from the city.

Maybe Lin Zhi really likes life in the countryside, or maybe she just loves her house. Anyway, she lives freely and happily in Baixi Village. Everything she sees feels fresh and interesting. There is no distaste for rural life in her eyes or actions.

She heard that Wu Mei had lice on her head, so she used a comb to help comb her hair. If she was lucky enough to catch a louse, she would also follow Wu Mei's example and crush the lice with two fingers, listening to the "ba" sound. A soft sound.

Everyone in the Li family likes her and treats her as closer than a relative.

After dinner, Li Yunhai called his parents into the back room to discuss the renovation of a new house.

Lin Zhi also followed in.

The four of them were sitting and chatting in Li Deming and his wife's room.

Li Yunhai brought two bamboo chairs in and sat down with Lin Zhi.

Li Deming and his wife were sitting on the bed.

Li Yunhai got straight to the point, saying that his house was too old and too small, and he wanted to renovate it into a new one.

Li Deming smoked a homemade cigarette, his thick eyebrows twisted into a knot, and he said sadly: "Today's red bricks cost 4 cents per brick, as well as cement, lime, sand, beams, stones, roof tiles, iron nails, iron wire, How much labor does it cost for tiles, steel bars, and wooden boards? How much does it cost?"

In his eyes, although the eldest son has finished studying, he is still a half-grown boy. How can he understand the hardships of the world?
This house can be built if you ask for it?
However, Li Yunhai was the old god and settled the accounts with his father: "Dad, I understand it. A 240-meter-thick wall requires 128 red bricks per square meter. A 100-square-meter house requires about one and a half floors. 33000 red bricks.”

Li Deming tilted his head slightly. He had never built a house before, so he didn't know how many bricks and work it would take. He only knew that this was definitely not something he could think of!
Li Yunhai expressed his grand idea: "My house has a large foundation, and the open space next to it is used. Each floor can be built with 25 square meters, two and a half floors, using a brick-concrete structure. In addition to miscellaneous houses, pigs For fences and courtyard walls, buy 4 red bricks first, and then make up for any shortage. Red bricks cost 1 cents a piece, so the price of bricks is [-] yuan."

Lin Zhi sat next to Li Yunhai and listened quietly to the conversation between their father and son.

Her eyes shone with intelligence, and she felt that although Li Yunhai was young, he knew everything and knew everything. He was really a treasure!
Building a new house costs 1 yuan in bricks alone!
Lin Zhi felt that the number was not much, so she had no reaction.

Li Deming and Zhang Shuwen were stunned when they heard this!

It only costs [-] bricks!
A household with ten thousand yuan would not dare to build such a big house!
Li Yunhai ignored his parents' surprised expressions and continued to settle his accounts.

When building houses in this era, all windows were made of wood. Each door and window cost 150 yuan from the purchase of wood to the craftsmanship fee.

Lime costs two cents a pound.

80 cubic meters of sand are required for every [-] square meters.

How many tons of reinforced concrete are needed?

How much work is required to lay the foundation, build walls, put up boards, paint exterior walls, scrape interior walls including the top of the walls?

Li Yunhai spoke eloquently.

Lin Zhi was filled with admiration and looked at the man in front of her as if she was worshiping her own father.

Zhang Shuwen exclaimed: "Yunhai, if you do the math, it's all money! Without tens of thousands of dollars, we definitely can't build such a big house. Our house can still be lived in now, and it doesn't need to be renovated." Anyway, if you have a job outside, your work unit will allocate you a house. After you and Miss Lin get married, you can just live in the county town."

The family still doesn't know about Li Yunhai's resignation, and they are still thinking about dividing the house among their work units.

When Lin Zhi heard about the marriage, her face turned red and she didn't say anything, just pursed her lips and smiled.

Li Yunhai got up, went into his room, and came out carrying a linen bag.

When he first came home, his family saw the bag and thought it was Li Yunhai's personal belongings, so they didn't pay attention.

After Li Yunhai returned home, he hid the bag on the roof of his bedroom without saying a word, and then took it out.

He opened the sack and took out bundles of packages wrapped in newspaper.

Zhang Shuwen thought her son had bought candies and said with a smile: "We don't have a banquet at home, so what are you buying so many candies for? Could it be that you and Miss Lin are having an engagement party?"

Li Yunhai opened a package and revealed the money inside.

It’s all about unity!
One big bundle is ten thousand!
There are four big bundles!

Inside each large bundle, there are ten smaller bundles, and each smaller bundle is worth a thousand!
Li Yunhai pushed the 4 yuan in front of his father and said, "Dad, there is 4 yuan here. I estimate that this money is just a lot more. You can use it to renovate a new house!"

Li Deming and Zhang Shuwen were so shocked that they jumped up from the bed and looked at the 4 yuan in shock.

They have lived for decades and have never seen so much money!
Li Deming's hands were trembling, and he couldn't even speak clearly. He stammered and asked: "Yunhai, where did this money come from? You only got back 2000 yuan last time, why do you have so much money?" Already?" Lin Zhi covered her mouth and smiled.

She is a person who knows what she is doing and will not interrupt when she shouldn't be talking.

Li Yunhai told him about his resignation and opening a repair shop in the provincial capital.

"You resigned? No job?" Li Deming was even more surprised when he heard the news than when he saw the 4 yuan!

Zhang Shuwen groaned, took her son's hand, and said repeatedly: "Yunhai, how can you not want to work? We live frugally and work very hard at home, aren't we all for your study? We are looking forward to you You are promising! If you lose your job, what will you do in the future? Should you come back and become a farmer? Then all the books you have read over the years have been in vain?"

Li Yunhai held his mother's hand and said softly: "Mom, the purpose of studying is to make a living. I agree with this. But working is also to support the family and to make money. Am I not making money now? The money I earn is more than There is much more work. When it comes to serving the country, I think there is no distinction between high and low professions. I am self-employed and I am also serving the country."

He calculated an account and found that he received a salary of 32 yuan per month at work, which is 384 yuan a year, and only 50 yuan in 19200 years.

"Dad, Mom, at this salary level, even if I work for a lifetime and include the 20 years of retirement, I still won't be able to earn this 4 yuan!"

When Li Deming heard this, he thought the same thing. After a second thought, he felt something was wrong and said, "This salary will increase year by year. Don't think I don't understand!"

Li Yunhai smiled and shook his head: "Why does the salary increase? Because of inflation. In fact, the purchasing power is about the same. I get a salary of 32 yuan now, and in 10 years, I will get a salary of 320 yuan. In 20 years, I will get a salary of 3200 yuan, but prices will also go up! Also, I can make so much money in just over a month, and I still have a lifetime to make money! Isn’t it more than working? "

In fact, he was conservative and did not say that in addition to the 4 yuan, there was still 100 million yuan in the bank!
First of all, he knows the truth of keeping a low profile. The more money you make, the more you have to hide your clumsiness.

Secondly, he was really afraid of scaring his honest parents.

4 yuan is enough to make parents unable to calm down!
Li Deming fell into deep thought.

His son's words completely convinced him.

In the era of planned economy, 95% of farmers did not need to deal with grain and oil coupons.

Food stamps are exclusive to people who eat commercial grain.

Farmers send their children to secondary school and college to let the next generation get rid of the shackles of the land and eat national food.There is no need to farm, you can buy food with the food stamps issued by the state.

For farmers, this is a leap in class and a great thing to honor their ancestors!
However, since the reform and opening up, great changes have taken place in society.

After the household contract responsibility system, farmers grew food in the soil, contracted orchards, raised chickens and ducks, and took them to the market town in exchange for money.

Farmers are more eager to make money than city dwellers.

Li Deming was able to work like a fool to make money and send his son to school, which shows that he still has some knowledge.

He heard clearly and saw clearly.Although my son resigned, he is doing well in the provincial capital, eating well, making money, and using the money to buy good things that others don't have!
What is this called?
ability!

Capable man!

Li Deming slapped his thigh hard and said, "Okay, since you have this skill and ability to make money, forget it if you don't go to that class!"

He asked with some doubts: "Yunhai, what machine did you say you sold? Is it really so profitable?"

Li Yunhai smiled and nodded.

Lin Zhi glanced at Li Yunhai appreciatively and said with a smile: "Uncle, I can vouch for him! Every penny he earns is from a legitimate source. My parents praise him for his flexible mind and his business skills! "

Just as Li Yunhai was about to speak, a shout came from outside: "Brother Deming! Are you at home?"

Li Deming quickly picked up the quilt, covered the money on the bed, and responded: "Party Secretary, I'm here!"

The person who came was none other than Li Guowang, the branch secretary of Shiban Village and also a member of the Li family clan.

Zhang Shuwen asked her husband in a low voice: "Why is Party Secretary Li here? How long has it been since he visited my house?"

Li Deming waved his hand to signal his wife to stop talking, and then said to his son: "Yunhai, please collect this money first."

Before Li Yunhai could collect the money, the door of the room was pushed open forcefully.

Li Guowang stood at the threshold and laughed loudly: "I said, what are you two doing behind closed doors? There are so many guests outside watching TV, and you don't go to entertain them?"

Li Yunhai said displeasedly: "Zhishu Li, why did you just push open my bedroom door?"

Li Guowang touched his face, looked at Li Yunhai and said, "Hey, isn't this Comrade Li Yunhai, a worker at the county machinery factory? A young man who has studied for several years is really extraordinary! You dare to behave like this in the factory? Will the superiors speak?"

Li Yunhai was not afraid of him, and said in a deep voice: "The leaders in the factory are all well-educated. When entering someone else's door, they will knock on the door first, and then go in after others agree. This is the most basic social etiquette!"

Li Guowang bumped into a nail that was neither hard nor soft. He couldn't help but became angry, but he had no words to refute. He put his hands behind his back and said with a cold face: "Brother Deming, you have an amazing son! The God of Shiban Village will not be afraid of him in the future." He is about to turn him over! Hehe!"
