Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 51 Sister-in-law’s kindness
After asking and answering questions, the courtyard door opened, and Liu Sanshui invited Yao Weijun into the courtyard with enthusiasm.

"Boss Yao has kept you waiting for a long time. The two piglets we just caught ran out of the pigpen yesterday, so we didn't dare to open the door immediately for fear of them running out. Hey... you go sit in the room and smoke! "

Liu Sanshui smiled apologetically and explained why the door opened a little late, and led Yao Weijun to sit down in the room.

"I won't smoke anymore. I just have half a day to spare today. If your family is not too busy, we can go buy the bricks and tiles together. It's almost time to start construction on my house."

Yao Weijun waved his hand and said seriously.

"No problem! I'll go back to the house and change into clean clothes. Let's go now. When the bricks and tiles are purchased, I will take people to lay the foundation tomorrow and the construction will officially start in a few days!"

Liu Sanshui agreed wholeheartedly and asked Yao Weijun to wait in the main room. He also ordered his wife to make tea quickly while he went to the back room to change clothes.

After drinking a bowl of tea, Yao Weijun took him out.

The motorcycle was very fast, and in just over 20 minutes, the two of them arrived at Xiheba. There is a brick kiln factory here, which is a public-private partnership. They build brick houses in villages and towns across the country, and they basically come here to buy bricks and tile materials.

When the director of the brick factory heard that someone wanted to buy red bricks worth tens of thousands of yuan, he smiled and personally received them. Although there was no discount on the price, which was only one cent and eight cents a piece, the director came forward and the delivery speed was as fast as The quality is guaranteed.

Yao Weijun quickly paid a deposit of 300 yuan on the spot and confirmed the date for pulling the bricks.

According to Liu Sanshui's estimate, the total cost of red bricks and tiles is nearly 8 yuan. The bricks and tiles materials alone cost more than 400 yuan, which is impossible for rural people to afford without causing famine.

But Yao Weijun's income today is more than this, even if he pays the full amount on the spot, there is no problem.

This is just a small speculation business, which has already given him sufficient capital, far ahead of most ordinary people.

In order to avoid jealousy, Yao Weijun still showed a concern for money in front of the brick factory director and Liu Sanshui, and then repeatedly told the brick factory director to ensure the quality of bricks and tiles.

After leaving the brick factory and passing through the streets of the joint venture area, I saw Lao Dai selling goods from a distance, scooping melon seeds out of an enamel jar.

Yao Weijun did not disturb him, but took Liu Sanshui back to Jianchang Village.

On the homestead at the east end of the village, the two of them measured the area and discussed the specific construction plan.

Yao Weijun took out a pen and paper, stated his requirements carefully and carefully, and drew a simple frame on the paper.

"Brother Yao, if you do it this way, the materials and labor will go up. It is estimated that the completion of the whole process will cost at least 3000 yuan..."

Liu Sanshui took the simple blueprint, smiled dryly and gnashed his teeth helplessly.

The price he quoted to Yao Weijun at the beginning was about 500 yuan for labor and materials. But at that time, he really didn't know that Yao Weijun's courtyard was so big. Moreover, a whole row of workshops would be built to the south of the courtyard. Calculating the layout of the yard, if you add it up, the labor and materials will definitely increase a lot.

Therefore, I was very troubled, worried that Yao Weijun would cancel the cooperation because of the temporary price increase, but he could not suffer a loss, otherwise he would have to add money.

"Brother Liu, don't worry. As long as you build it according to my requirements, the quality of the house will be fine by then. Then you can add more materials as needed, and I will pay for the labor costs."

Yao Weijun said calmly.

After more contact, he did not let Liu Sanshui call him boss, but instead called each other friends from the village.

"Okay! Brother Yao, that's all you can say. Don't worry, just use the money to work. I, Old Liu, won't do any errands. I will build a house that you will be satisfied with!"

Liu Sanshui couldn't help but feel elated when he heard this. Overjoyed, he quickly expressed his position loudly.

"Then let's make an agreement. I'll bring people over tomorrow to lay the foundation and try to officially start construction on National Day!" "Well, I'll leave Brother Liu to take care of the house."

"Hey, that's what I do. Don't be polite. I'll go back first. I have to contact the bricklayers and laborers later!"

"I'll take you back."

"No, no, no, I'll just walk back a few steps. Brother Yao is busy with you, don't worry about me, haha... let's go!"

……

Liu Sanshui was embarrassed to let his boss waste gas and time on sending him off on a motorcycle, so he insisted on leaving Jianchang Village on foot.

Yao Weijun returned to the threshing floor, said hello to Chuntao and the others who were busy drying and putting away the clothes, and walked into the house.

"Sister-in-law, take a rest. The business has just started and there is not much work. There is no need to rush."

He walked to the room where the roasted seeds and nuts were roasted and saw his sister-in-law sweating profusely while working, so he reminded her with a smile.

"I'm not tired. If you work harder today, the rest can be fried tomorrow. I thought, I'll finish it quickly and tell Uncle Qixue, Aunt Qiuhe, and Chuntao not to come. It's not easy for you to run a small business. It's not cost-effective to hire so many people. My sister-in-law can do it alone!"

Sister-in-law Liu Zhaodi usually doesn't talk much, but this time it's rare for her to say more. She feels very sorry for Yao Weijun's practice of spending money to hire people.

"Sister-in-law, stop first and listen to me."

Yao Weijun smiled helplessly and explained in a gentle voice: "I know all about the business, and I can't lose money at the moment, so sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about me first.

Besides, this is a long-term business. You don’t have to do all the work by yourself. If I hire three of them, wouldn’t it be like giving them money for free? Is it really a loss?
Besides, I have other plans to hire the three of them. I am planning to lay the foundation for the homestead site I applied for with the village tomorrow, and the construction will start in a few days. I usually finish the work at the threshing floor. You can also arrange for them to cook lunch for the workers in the dining shed!

Don't worry, sister-in-law, I have a plan. From now on, you are only responsible for cutting the ingredients and watching the heat. If something like this is still moist and needs to be fried for a while, just let Chuntao and Aunt Qiuhe do it. "

Seeing that his sister-in-law was moved by what he said, Yao Weijun simply shouted outside: "Sister Chuntao, come with Aunt Qiuhe!"

When Chuntao and the others entered the house, he first asked Aunt Qiuhe to help his sister-in-law stir-fry the moist peanuts, and then called Chuntao alone to the room where he slept.

"Sister Chuntao, you come to my place to work. I think it would be better to explain some things clearly in advance."

Yao Weijun motioned her to sit on the chair on the other side, with a serious look on his face, "I don't actually have much work here at the moment, but when I get busy, I am really busy. I remember that the task I gave you is to help my sister-in-law. Why just now?" I think my sister-in-law is working alone in the house, and you and Aunt Qiuhe have gone outside?"

"Weijun, you misunderstood. I really wasn't lazy! It was my sister-in-law who asked us to go outside to help. She said she could just stay in the house alone. Aunt Qiuhe and I thought it was your intention, so we all went outside to work. ”

Chuntao explained anxiously with a hint of panic on her face.

"..." Yao Weijun pondered slightly and said calmly: "I will make it clear to my sister-in-law. You and Aunt Qiuhe should mainly assist my sister-in-law. Let Uncle Qixue do the drying and packing."

"Yeah! I know! Let's go and help my sister-in-law!"

Chuntao nodded vigorously, stood up and walked out.

Yao Weijun called out to her again.
