Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 25 Planning the Foundation
"Uncle Guang Sheng and Uncle Xianping are busy. Let's take a cigarette and take a break."

Yao Weijun came to the field, took out a cigarette and gave one to everyone present, with a warm smile on his face.

"Junzi, your boy has changed quite a lot now. I thought I was wrong before, haha..."

Ma Guangsheng took the cigarette with a smile, clamped it to his ear first, put the gray spoon back into the bucket, then rubbed his hands, took out a match from his pocket and lit the cigarette.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face, and besides, it's Lao Zhuangxiang who can't see you with your head up and down. After this autumn, he doesn't care so much about the matter of breaking off the engagement last time.

Especially the recent changes of Yao Weijun, taking the initiative to guard the threshing floor and subduing thieves in the middle of the night, he has seen them all, and his impression of Yao Weijun has already changed 180 degrees.

When he went to the village headquarters to pick up tools such as ash buckets in the morning, Chen Shoushan had already told several of them that Yao Weijun's family was going to build a house and needed help drawing the location of the foundation.

"Uncle Guang Sheng, please stop slapping me. You smoke."

Yao Weijun took out his lighter and helped Ma Guangsheng light his cigarette. He smiled and said, "Autumn is almost over. Come and sit at my house when you have some free time. My dad is waiting to drink with you."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. When we are done with our work, we two brothers will definitely have a drink, haha..."

Ma Guangsheng was elated, with a cheerful smile on his face.

The two of them reached a tacit understanding and never mentioned the matter of breaking off the engagement again, and their relationship returned to its previous state. Especially during casual chats, Ma Guangsheng praised Yao Weijun from time to time, which attracted the agreement of the other three.

"Man, have you found all the workers to build a house for your family in the autumn?"

Yao Weijun's uncle Yao Xianping, who had already left the fifth server, asked with concern.

"No, everyone is busy in the autumn, and I don't have time to look for him. Does Uncle Xianping have anyone to recommend?"

Yao Weijun said.

"Go to Fengyang Village and have a look. The people in their village like to go out to build houses for others in the spring and autumn. Some people also go to the county to work in construction, specializing in building brick houses, and they do a good job!"

Yao Xianping suggested.

"Okay, once the foundation is finished, go look for them in their village." Yao Weijun nodded and agreed.

Ma Guangsheng next to him moved his mouth when he heard the words, and then swallowed some words.

The marriage that Yao Weijun was promised to before was in Fengyang Village. Now that Yao Weijun is looking for a construction worker in that village, he may not be able to gain good face.

But the group of people in Fengyang Village built houses out of bricks very quickly and easily. The woman, Liu Chunling, and her father did not work with that group, because he was a bricklayer, and he mostly went to the county to build brick houses for others.

After smoking a cigarette, Ma Guangsheng and others finished driving the ash nails on the measured land, then they carried the ash bucket and returned to the east of the village with Yao Weijun.

There is a flat open space here, and it is not a problem to build six or seven brick houses. If they were all enclosed, the yard alone would be as big as a basketball court.

The open space is located in the easternmost part of Jianchang Village. There is a river 500 meters further east. The bridge over the river is the most common way for people to enter the mountain.

There is a forest to the north. Through the forest, you can see a manually excavated reservoir. During the construction period, the Daliu Commune sent river construction workers from each village to carry out earthwork and excavation work. from.

The south side of the open space is next to Xiangyang Avenue. Along this road, you can go to Daliu Commune in the east and Xiheba Joint Venture Area in the west. It is very convenient to go anywhere.

Yao Weijun chose to build a house here because of this.

Not only is the environment good, but the transportation is also convenient, making it easier for him to do business and transport goods in the future.

"Hey, man, you're not planning to build on this vacant land, are you? It's quite big. If you build a mud house out of bricks, it will cost a lot of money and effort!"

As soon as Yao Xianping came here, he smashed his mouth and couldn't help but sigh.

"Weijun, if your family is building a house in such a large area, your fourth brother in the city should have contributed a lot of money to help you build a house, right? Haha..." Ma Guangsheng measured the dimensions while instructing the other two people to draw the base line and nail the nails. , while smiling deeply.

"He will probably stay in the city from now on. I'll build the house here with my own money, and I don't plan to count on my family."

Yao Weijun looked at his surroundings and said calmly.

"What? You paid for it yourself?" Ma Guangsheng and Yao Xianping were stunned for a moment, with disbelief in their eyes.

It's not their fault either.

Nowadays, although people in the village can barely afford to eat, not many families can save money.

And if it is a young man like Yao Weijun, not to mention, if you pull one out at random, not many of them can take out a piece of paper in their wallet!

Therefore, when Yao Weijun said that he planned to build a house with his own money, the older generation of villagers did not believe it at all. They even felt that Yao Weijun was deliberately telling lies and showing off.

Yao Weijun looked calm, feeling the suspicious eyes of several people, and felt speechless.

Forget it, it’s better not to tell them that the house I built is not an adobe house, but a brick house, so as to save the trouble of explaining.

Besides, where did we get there?

When the village holds a village meeting to allocate land, I don’t know what they will think if they know that I spent 1000 yuan to buy the only motorcycle in the village...

Yao Weijun was not too worried about what the villagers would do if they knew he had some money.

After all, the overall situation is becoming more relaxed day by day. Let alone the distant capital, Shuyun County alone now has many people doing business, and there are many households worth ten thousand yuan.

He wanted to gain a foothold in the village. In addition to keeping a low profile, it was not a bad thing to occasionally take a step or two forward.

At least in the eyes of the village leaders, he will be a typical example of taking the lead in getting rich, and he will even be supported by the commune.

Of course, based on the impression he left on people by his previous nonsense, if he makes an excuse at this stage to say that he borrowed the money from a friend in the county, no one will really be bored to find out the truth.

It is not illegal to borrow money to build a house, and it is even more illegal to borrow money to buy a motorcycle.

The current policy encourages self-employment, so it makes sense to borrow money from friends to start a small business, right?

"Man, my experience tells you that money is easy to spend but not easy to earn. With my man's size and appearance, you can build three adobe houses first, and your wife will be looking for her with her eyes closed. There is no need to put the whole family's The days are too tiring and difficult.”

Yao Xianping couldn't help but said seriously.

Ma Guangsheng and others next to him also nodded and echoed a few words.

Yao Weijun smiled calmly and said nothing more. He was noncommittal.

As time goes by, I believe the views of the older generation will gradually change over time. There is no need to explain things more seriously at this time.

The foundation of the entire yard was quickly painted, and gray nails were also driven into the four corners of the main house.

At this point, Yao Weijun only needs to report the specific size and detailed location of this open space to the village party secretary, and the place will become an owner-occupied household, just waiting for construction to begin.

After sending Ma Guangsheng and Yao Xianping away, Yao Weijun picked up dry branches, dead grass leaves, broken bricks and other sundries in the open space until noon before going home for dinner.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father Yao Xiangui with a dark face and unkind eyes.

"The wings are hard, right? Tell me, what's going on in the open space at the east end of the village?!"
