Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 92 There is enough room to put money
In this era, people in cities have to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married, but in rural areas, various communes can handle it.

Yao Weijun held the folded copy of the marriage certificate, feeling a deep sense of happiness in his heart.

This is the first time for him to apply for a marriage certificate in his two lives, and the woman is still the girl he likes. Now according to the law, Yu Xiunan is his wife. As expected, they will live under the same roof for the rest of their lives, and they will be together until they grow old. .

"Weijun, I have classes in the afternoon. You go and do your work. I can just walk back to school by myself."

Yu Xiunan was also very excited. She carefully put the two marriage certificates into her work bag and looked at Yao Weijun softly.

"Well, I will be working in the greenhouse in the next few days. The weekend is our wedding day. You should prepare in advance and ask for leave from school to see what else you need to add to the new house. We will buy it together."

Yao Weijun ordered.

"I understand. I won't come to school on Saturday. You'll come to see me at home then."

Yu Xiunan nodded, reluctantly watched Yao Weijun leave, and then returned to school.

Yao Weijun, who returned to Jianchang Village, took his sister-in-law back to the old house and gave Chuntao and the others half a day off. After he was the only one left in the courtyard, he went to the construction site for digging the cellar and brought some tools.

When he originally designed and built his six rooms, Liu Sanshui specifically asked Liu Sanshui to increase the size of the east and west bedrooms by [-] centimeters each.

He also specifically ordered an extra wall to be built, which is equivalent to adding a long and narrow partition from top to bottom next to the two easternmost and westernmost rooms of the entire house.

What was explained to Liu Sanshui at that time was that this compartment would be used as a heating stove in the future to facilitate heating of six rooms in winter.

Liu Sanshui can understand this. After all, northern rural areas have cold winters. Although most households live in adobe houses, they also have heating measures.

Those who sleep on the Tukang will use adobe coils to make pipes in the Tukang, and connect the outside to the chimney of the coal stove. In this way, the excess heat emitted by the stove when boiling water can also heat the Tukang.

But Yao Weijun's family bought wooden beds for several bedrooms, so it was impossible to think of a similar fire kang.

As a result, the only way to keep warm in winter is to light a stove in each room, but this can easily cause gas poisoning. Liu Sanshui, who often goes to the county to build houses, even took the initiative to remind him of this.

In the end, Yao Weijun came up with this idea. He built an extra [-] centimeters of separate space on the east and west sides of the house wall, and then asked Liu Sanshui to put a stove in it. Through the pipes buried in the wall in advance, he gave three separate spaces to each. Room heating.

Liu Sanshui had experience in construction, but he never imagined Yao Weijun's real purpose of creating partitions.

When the house was first built, small doors opening to the south were originally reserved on the east and west compartments so that family members could go in to add firewood and light a fire. However, Yao Weijun quietly opened the door before his family members came to the new house. Sealed.

The exterior is exactly the same as the other walls, and no one can tell that there is a compartment inside.

Now the westernmost bedroom belongs to grandma. Just like in the old house, others are accustomed not to go in and disturb. The easternmost bedroom where Yao Weijun lives will be the bedroom where he and Yu Xiunan get married in the future, and no one will be allowed to go in. Come and go as you please.

Even if the family members find that there is some difference between the outside room and the inside, they still have something to say.

I didn't think carefully at the beginning and started a fire on the stove in the main house. I was worried that it would burn down the new house. This can be explained in one sentence.

Therefore, what Yao Weijun has to do now is to knock a door out of the compartment in his bedroom, and then choose the position of the door behind the newly purchased standing cabinet.

In the afternoon, he was alone at home. After removing the cabinets, Yao Weijun wielded a hammer and chisel and began to work.

After opening a large enough doorway, he bent down and entered the compartment, and took out the door frame made of plywood and a small door that he had bought and prepared.

The surface of the white plywood is smooth, and it is exactly the same color as the putty on the wall. There is no difference.

Yao Weijun carefully expanded the door opening, and when he was almost done, he took out the cement, white ash and putty powder from the compartment and installed it carefully.

After more than two hours, the small plywood door with the exact same color as the wall next to it was installed.

Because there are blocks inside, it can't be pushed open without any effort.

Yao Weijun checked it carefully and after confirming that everything was similar to what he planned, he went into the compartment, put the scattered items inside and the broken bricks and cement blocks into bags, and took them to the yard outside.

Then he came back and carefully cleaned the compartment and bedroom. He took out two canvas bags from the cabinet and under the bed, and put them in the corner of the compartment near the bed. They were covered with some old cotton batting, nylon bags and other items that had been prepared long ago. Used as cover.

After doing all this, he moved the standing cabinet back and cleaned all traces. In this way, the room was not changed at all compared to before.

"Very good. A space of more than 80 square meters wide and more than two meters high should be enough now, right? If we arrange it more neatly in the future, it will be no problem to fit thousands of them!
Besides, the bedroom in the far west where grandma lives also has a compartment where money can also be stored.

For now, this should be the best way to put money. In a few years, the policy will be completely liberalized. By then, if you register a few more companies, you can deposit money in the bank openly. Yao Weijun thought to himself and was quite satisfied with his design.

After all, no one dares to break down walls and steal things in this era, let alone the chaos in the city, but in the village, if such a situation really happens, Yao Weijun only needs to shout to catch the thief, and everyone in the village will come to help. , No matter how awesome Mr. Touer is, he still has to go out sideways!

As for whether people familiar with it would find out that there was money hidden inside, Yao Weijun had already considered this aspect.

First of all, the sister-in-law is engaged in processing and production at home all year round. There are no people in this yard at all. Even familiar villagers cannot enter his bedroom quietly.

Another one is that Yao Weijun will re-plan and make the heating stove, but the location will be in the passage between the main house and the side house. In this way, even if family members ask, they will say that there was something wrong with the previous partition design and it was abandoned.

Finally, for Yu Xiunan, who would be the closest to him in the future, he had no intention of deliberately hiding his income in the past. Even if she found out, it would not be a big deal.

Of course, nothing is 100% absolute, but this is already what Yao Weijun thinks is the best way, and he made a design plan in advance when he built the house.

After settling this matter on his mind, Yao Weijun felt relaxed and took the tools and returned them to Chen Shoushan.

"Uncle Moriyama, I heard that cellars No. [-] and No. [-] will be completed in the next two days? Take me to have a look."

When he put the tools back into the temporary shed built on the excavation site, he saw Chen Shoushan looking over and had something to say, so he promptly brought the topic to the cellar project.

"Okay, as long as you have the time, let's go down and have a look! Haha..."

Chen Shoushan waved his hand and led Yao Weijun towards the entrance of the cellar.

According to the plan of Yao Weijun, Li Qiming, and Chen Shoushan, a total of ten large cellars will be excavated under this vast surface.

In order to facilitate ventilation, they are connected to each other, but their respective entrances and exits are built to facilitate the movement of goods in and out, and separate management.

"Well, actually it will take a few days to be completely completed. The two cellars have been dug, but the ground below still needs to be leveled, and the top needs to be reinforced with wooden poles."

Chen Shoushan led Yao Weijun into the adobe house above the entrance of one of the cellars, then gradually walked down the rammed earth steps and began to explain.

"You see, the ground is here. Next, a thick plastic tarpaulin will be laid to prevent moisture, then a few layers of white gravel, then a layer of absorbent materials such as wheat straw and hay, and finally a wooden backing board. Place straw mats.

Don’t worry, professor Ling’s instructions will be strictly followed on the walls and roofs to ensure moisture-proofing and waterproofing. From now on, whether it’s the endless vegetables in your plot or the endless mushrooms in your greenhouse, they can all be dried in the open air. Storage comes in! "

When Chen Shoushan said this, he looked at Yao Weijun expectantly, "Weijun, there's been quite a stir in our village this time. Just to get support from the commune to dig these cellars, Party Secretary Li had the audacity to beg Grandpa despite his age. Tell grandma, I heard that even the top leaders of the commune slapped the table on him!
However, it was difficult, but the commune finally approved our application. Not only did the procedures go through, but the quota for river workers in the village was also waived this winter. "

Yao Weijun listened to him carefully and did not interrupt.

Because he knew that Chen Shoushan didn't tell him this to complain or take credit.

Sure enough, Chen Shoushan continued:
"To put it harshly, what our village is doing now is just a one-time deal. If it really starts, everyone can make money. If it fails... Well, Weijun, I'm not putting pressure on you. Ha, just wanted to confirm...

Do you think that by building this greenhouse, we can really grow shiitake mushrooms with high sales prices and large yields next year? "

"Uncle Moriyama, frankly speaking, I really can't be 100% sure about this."

Yao Weijun said calmly, waving his hand to stop Chen Shoushan from speaking, and changed the topic, "But one thing I can guarantee is that if we dig this cellar, in the long run, no matter when it comes, we will definitely not lose money!
Growing mushrooms in greenhouses is just one of the side projects. Now that the cellars are available, we can also encourage villagers to grow a variety of vegetables, store them in the cellars, and sell them in different seasons, which is also a big income. "

Yao Weijun patiently explained that he suggested that the village dig cellars not only because he wanted to store melon seeds, but also because he really wanted to find a way for the village to continue to make money.

"Well, I hope so." Chen Shoushan nodded and did not continue this topic, but brought up another matter.

"Weijun, all the dates from the jujube grove in the south of our village have been harvested. When the land was divided, this jujube grove was classified as village property and was not distributed. I discussed with the branch secretary that after the dates are dried, , store it in the cellar, and then sell it at the end of the year. Do you have sales in this area by then?"

"Jujubes...approximately how many are there in total?"

Yao Weijun couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this, and asked with a slight frown.

"Hmm... excluding the ones with chapped skin and the ones with broken skin from falling on the ground, I estimate it weighs six to seven thousand pounds. This is still a conservative estimate, maybe more."

Chen Shoushan pondered for a moment and said uncertainly.
