"But if you do this, no one will have enough money!" Qin Zhihe was a little anxious.
"If you don't have enough, just wait. Anyway, we can't raise the money. If we raise the money, whose house will we build first?" Qin Dashan said angrily.
The old man made his words clear, and the room became silent again.
The thing is, if you scrape together the money, you can definitely build a house.
With more than a hundred yuan, if we build thatched houses, we can even build two.
After all, if the thatched house was built smaller, it wouldn't cost much.
However, now that we are about to enter the 1980s, people's lives are gradually getting better, and at least they can have enough to eat.
Therefore, the conditions for young people to get married are now slowly improving.
It turns out that not to mention having a thatched house of your own, even if you are crowded into the same room with your parents, you can just make do with a curtain.
It’s no longer possible. You don’t have at least three houses. Do you still want to marry a wife? Wait!
After all, women now have many choices, and they definitely want to find a good family.
Seeing that no one spoke, Qin Dashan simply stood up, intending to leave.
But before leaving, he still said it all.
"In the future, if you want to borrow money or raise money to build a house, you don't have to think about it. If you have enough money, you can build it yourself. You can also borrow it from other relatives' houses. Everyone depends on their ability. If you don't have this ability, you don't have to ask your family. That's it."
"Old man, sage!" Qin Jun gave a thumbs up. This old man knew that only in this way can brothers live in harmony.
If you really raise money to build a house, there will be many problems. No matter who builds it first, it will be a problem.
"Stop saying sarcastic words, are you still wise? A few years ago, just these few words would have destroyed our family!" Qin Zhiqi said with a smile.
"You also said that that was a few years ago, but things are different now. How about it, sir? How many brothers in your family want to build houses and marry wives?"
"What do you think? Anyone older than you has to say goodbye." Qin Zhiqi couldn't laugh anymore.
Qin Jun was also speechless. He had forgotten that in this era of rural areas, many people get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
"Let's go, let's accumulate it slowly. If we can't build it all at once, we'll just prepare the materials bit by bit. If any of you wants to build a trench, just let us know." After Qin Dashan finished speaking, he wanted to leave.
"What is the geosyncline? There must be no lime in the geosyncline?" Qin Zhihe said unhappily.
"Lao San, how old are you? How do you speak? Do you still want to be beaten at this age?" Qin Zhizheng said cheerfully.
Qin Zhihe rolled his eyes and said: "Second brother, do you have to buy lime, stone, bricks and tiles? Which one has enough money? Money is needed everywhere, don't you worry?"
The second eldest child, Qin Zhizheng, was speechless. If his family had not had enough money, would he still be here today to discuss how to build a house?
The boss Qin Zhiqi waved his hand and said: "Let's go, let's go. None of our three brothers have much money. If we come together to build one, who will give it to us? Since it is troublesome, just save your energy! This is either a son or a nephew. It’s not good to favor anyone.”
Qin Dashan sighed and said: "That's right. You don't know that the fourth brother also needs a new house! The marriage he mentioned is good, but if he wants a new house, he is not willing to squeeze in the three of us with the old couple. A shabby thatched hut.”
Everyone was speechless. No wonder the old man was unwilling to help anyone. It turned out that he also had a big hole here!
Qin Jun laughed at this time. He had just calculated that there were about ten young men of marriageable age in his big family.
And they are all young people over the age of seventeen, and they are getting married in the past year or two.
Based on this calculation, just relying on four old houses will definitely not be enough.
If it all had to be built, how much would it cost?
At this time, it seems to cost more than 100 yuan to build a house. If there are three houses, each house will cost no less than 300 yuan.
If we build ten buildings, it will cost at least three thousand!
After taking a few glances at the elders, who were all as skinny as old trees growing into spirits, it was no use even if they were torn into pieces and cooked in oil!
Even for him, it is not easy to come up with three thousand at once.
After all, a piece of leather would cost fifty yuan and would have to wait until 80 years later.
Besides, if you can collect 3,000 yuan, you still need 60 skins!
Hunting at the current speed would take fifteen days, which is half a month.
Doesn't it seem difficult? But why should he pay for it?
The words "brothers have settled accounts" now are not selfish, but they are necessary for the sake of the brothers getting along with each other in the future.
If there are too many brothers and sisters, it will be troublesome to get along with each other, because each one has his or her own thoughts.
The promotion of rice and the fighting of rice and hatred are also applicable at any time!
However, houses are urgently needed and still need to be built.
The conditions at home really need to be improved. At least the new house will not leak, right?
But there is no rush, because among the marriageable young people in their family, which one has a wife?
Pushing open the door, a fresh stream of cold air blew in, which refreshed Qin Jun's spirits.
After returning home, Qin Jun originally thought about going into the house to warm up, but unexpectedly he was pulled away by Qin Zhihe.
"Put the cart on and let's go to the commune to buy lime."
"Second brother, are you up? Hurry up and borrow a car next door."
"If everything goes well, the three of us can push back 1,200 kilograms of lime in one trip, which is enough to build trenches and build foundations."
Qin Zhihe made arrangements while going back to the house to get things. Soon the father and son gathered together.
"Dad, why don't you go over after breakfast!" Qin Feng complained as he walked.
"What to eat? It's just past six o'clock and you want to have breakfast? Who built this house for? No points? Besides, there are other things to do after eating!"
Qin Zhihe scolded his second son, then walked quickly with his head down.
Qin Jun smiled, but said nothing.
At this time, all his attention was focused on the trolley.
This thing is called a wheelbarrow, also called a chicken cart, and it is the most commonly used farm tool in this era.
How many years had he not touched this sacred car that was said to have been passed down for two thousand years?
Maybe his body is used to it now, so he pushes it very easily.
However, he was a little uncomfortable walking on the dirt road outside the village.
Compared with twenty years later, the countryside now can be said to be full of green trees, but the road conditions are a bit worse.
The original straight roads have all disappeared, and all that remains are winding and rugged country roads.
If it were the original, the journey from their Xiaohe village to the commune would be at most four kilometers, or eight miles.
Now if you walk along this old dirt road, you will definitely not be able to get there without the Sixteen Mile Road.
By the way, their village is not called Xiaohe Village yet. They belong to the 10th Squadron of Dahe Brigade.
The eight kilometers of twists and turns would have felt very long to Qin Jun if he were a real fourteen-year-old child.
But it's different now, because it turns out that he has nothing to do but still exercises 20,000 steps by himself!
It's such a short distance now, and it only takes an hour to walk briskly.
Sure enough, his calculation was quite accurate, and within an hour, the three of them arrived at a busy street.
Of course, there are just more people here than in the village, and the houses look neater and newer.
The current Hongqi Commune and the future Hongquan Town will only have a few brick houses on both sides of the road!
Although the houses are better built than those in the village, they still cannot escape the characteristics of the times. For example, they are all dusty and look backward.
The best building among them is probably the Grain House, which is all tall warehouses built with black bricks.
Next is the supply and marketing cooperative, and then the commune office compound.
Next are animal husbandry stations, agricultural technology stations, seed stations, purchasing stations, etc., all of which are government departments.
In his memory, Qin Jun must be most familiar with the livestock station and the seed station, but what he is most concerned about now is the purchasing station.
However, compared with departments such as animal husbandry stations, the purchasing station is a bit sparse!
This is a good thing, because there are not many people competing with him.
Thinking of the pieces of leather in his hand, Qin Jun couldn't help but smile.
Don’t worry now, once you save some money, the price should increase by then!
The smile on Qin Jun's face became even brighter when he thought about making a lot of money.
Especially when he saw a busier store, he couldn't stop smiling.
The breakfast restaurant is always the busiest place, especially when the steamed buns are coming out of the pot, the aroma is really tempting.
It would be even more beautiful if paired with a bowl of egg soup.
Unfortunately, now you still need food stamps to buy steamed buns.
Well, even if he doesn't need food stamps, he can't afford it now.
Five cents for a meat bun is equivalent to the price of an egg.
Even the vegetable buns cost three cents each, and they are not too big.
This is so deceiving! It's definitely not because he has no money!
