Nian Jian'an also truly felt that the family lived in harmony, respected each other as guests, and envied the happiness of others.
He decided to stay and help Zheng Bajin, at least until his factory was repaired before leaving.
Anyway, there is still half a month before school starts in Xiaocao.
Zheng Bajin was extremely happy after hearing this. What he is short of now is manpower. With the help of his old father-in-law, he feels relieved.
Zheng Jiashan was also very polite and invited Nian Jianan to rest in his home. Xiaocao accompanied Qingqing to sleep in the Zheng family's old house.
Zheng Bajin, of course, went back to the factory to look at the charcoal.
The next day, Zheng Bajin and Nian Jianan went out early in the morning, drove a tractor to the street, and bought some angle iron and some cattle felt.
I also bought some rice, some dried vegetables, and a few pieces of bacon.
Zheng Bajin was a little disappointed. There are no color steel tiles on this street. Otherwise, it would be more cost-effective.
After returning to the village, we immediately started repairing the factory building.
He first invited a few people to set up the wall panels.
In the village, it is customary to help each other when repairing and building houses. It depends on your popularity. Depending on how many people you have helped, how many people will return the favor.
People heard that he was going to build a house next to the school, and they were waiting to see his jokes. They knew that the third master had never helped anyone or had a different job. At this time, a ghost came to help him?
However, when I saw that after the wall panels were erected, there were actually about ten people going into battle, carrying earth and hammers, and some holding clappers to clap the newly rammed earth wall tightly, as if there was a division of labor and cooperation. .
People were stunned and began to doubt the world.
Zheng Bajin, however, did not go into battle himself, but only pointed fingers. Even Zheng Laohai did not go up to the wall, but only handed out cigarettes, boiled water, and sometimes helped with tools.
Some people began to lose their composure and came to Zheng Bajin and said with a smile: "Bajin, are you going to repair a house?"
"Yes, now that you have some money, let's build one." Zheng Bajin smiled and responded to this melon-eater in a relaxed manner.
"Yes, yes, if you have money, you have to build a house, otherwise, the money will be spent soon." The man heard that Zheng Bajin was not very appreciative, but out of curiosity, he still smiled and said, " I never thought that Ba Jin would be so popular and so many people would come here all of a sudden?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Zheng Bajin was not humble and secretly replied: Isn't this a salary of one and a half dollars a day for them? At any time, as long as you have money, it will be easy to do things. Without money, everything will be difficult.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money!
At this time, Zheng Bajin remembered the scene last night at his uncle's house when he told him that he wanted to build a house. The whole family was very supportive, especially Mrs. Zheng, who kept praising Bajin for his good work.
However, it was Zheng Laohai who poured cold water on him and said meaningfully: "Bajin, I think you have a lot of money, but you can't let it go. You haven't helped anyone in ordinary times, who will help now?" Are you building a house?"
"Building a house is easy to say, but difficult to do. Without the help of people in the village, it's just you and your old father-in-law, one person holding the hammer and the other carrying the earth, are you going to build it until the Year of the Monkey?"
After saying this, the family's happy mood suddenly disappeared, and they all looked at Zheng Bajin.
"It's okay. I still have you, old man, right?" Zheng Bajin glanced at this "dad" and said with a smile.
"I, I can't. I can light a fire, but there's nothing I can do about going up the wall!" Zheng Laohai quickly shook his head.
I know you can't help me get up the wall... Zheng Bajin complained in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as you can boil some water and hit him, it will be done. As for the matter of getting up the wall, there are others."
When he saw the heated scene, even Zheng Laohai was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, but silently did the tasks assigned to him by Ba Jin.
"I also want to come and help you for two days!" the melon-eater tried.
Zheng Bajin shook his head and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness. We have enough manpower now. You should go dig potatoes or something. You see, the weather is about to change, and the corn in the field is about to mature. Take the time to harvest potatoes, otherwise, when it rains, the corn will rot in the ground."
The man was stunned and left without interest.
Zheng Bajin's words sounded like he was thinking of others, but in fact, when smart people heard this, they looked down on him.
The spectators listened to Zheng Bajin's words and left one by one in a sensible manner.
Afterwards, when I inquired about it, I understood Zheng Bajin's operation. The salary of one and a half yuan per person per day was equivalent to picking up mortar for a day in the city, which made people somewhat envious.
Nian Jian'an, however, did not go to the wall himself. Instead, he continued to haul potatoes to the city and sold them. It took almost a day. He also had to go to the mountains to pull a cart of coal back and dump it in Zheng Bajin's open space.
People are a little confused. What kind of operation is Zheng Bajin doing? This coal has been brought in so much. It cannot be eaten and is being kept for the New Year?
However, the house had just been repaired for two days, and people were so tall that Brother Wen came to the door.
Zheng Bajin looked at Brother Wen. His leg was not healed yet. He was leaning on a crutch and being supported by two people. He had lost all his previous majesty, so he naturally didn't take him seriously.
But good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Someone had already spread the news that Brother Wen came to see Zheng Bajing, and a group of people gathered around to see how Zheng Bajing would end up.
Qingqing also got the news and rushed over with Hu Ying, fearing that Zheng Bajin would suffer.
Nian Jian'an is not here. He went to pull coal and has not returned yet. When Zheng Laohai heard that it was Brother Wen who came to his door, he didn't dare to come forward and hid far away.
Brother Wen looked at Zheng Bajin and couldn't help but nod: "Young man, that's good. We have repaired the house. It seems that we have made a lot of money in this month."
"It's not bad, it's only a few thousand yuan." Zheng Bajin didn't hide anything from the other party, and faced him with a smile, "It's just that I don't understand, how can the majestic Brother Wen be in such a mess?"
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense and pay back the money!" Brother Wen was poked in the painful spot in front of his face, and he screamed unnaturally.
"Hey, we agreed at the time that you would pick it up in three days. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Did I think you didn't want it?" Zheng Bajin was still smiling, not worried at all.
On the contrary, it was others who were worried about him. It had been more than a month. If it was ten yuan a day as stated at the time, it was now several hundred yuan. Although Zheng Bajin made a lot of money in one month, it was a bottomless pit.
"Hmph, don't talk about those useless things. If you don't come to pick them up after three days, doesn't it give you more time to prepare? Now, we will combine the profits and give you a discount, just give me five hundred!"
"Haha, if that's the case, I have to thank you, right?" Zheng Bajin laughed to himself, "That's not how the account is calculated. It's your fault that you don't come to get the money on time. It's not that I don't keep my credit. Why? Do you want me to pay the bill?"
"This..." Brother Wen was speechless for a moment. Wasn't this an accident? Otherwise, why would it be delayed until now?
"Do you really think this money is so easy to make?" Zheng Bajin said with a half-smile when he saw that he was speechless.
I thought to myself, I don’t know how many people in the past life, just because of procrastination again and again, the interest rate doubled several times. In the end, they lost everything and couldn’t fill this black hole. I am a rebirth after all, how could I fall into those people? ’s footsteps.
Brother Wen glanced at the crowd and saw people talking in low voices, especially the people who were helping Zheng Bajin repair his house. He nodded in agreement. Zheng Bajin was right.
Zheng Bajin received the money they worked for every day and did not hold back. At this time, he naturally sided with Zheng Bajin.
"Okay, how much do you want to pay back?" Brother Wen saw that he wanted to add one month's profit, but failed, so he said, "Then you can pay me back two hundred."
"Okay!" Zheng Bajin agreed readily, which made people a little puzzled. Even Brother Wen didn't expect that he would agree so quickly, and secretly complained that it seemed to be less!
People naturally thought that when someone asked Zheng Bajin to pay back money, he didn't give a cent. He was such a person who refused to repay money when he had it. He also asked people not to lend money to Zheng Laohai in the future. Zheng Laohai was forced to stop gambling because he couldn't borrow money.
Unexpectedly, he actually agreed to pay back the money at this time.
This is a principal of ten yuan. Even if the interest is not included, it has doubled twenty times? Is he really willing?
