Genius One Second Remember If You Want To Go? We provide you with wonderful novels to read.

According to Li He's idea, the three mud houses at the back should not be demolished for the time being. His house was empty, and the land was also his own. He should just build three tiled houses in front of the house, leave a yard in the middle, and pull up the wall. In the future, when the conditions were good, he could demolish the mud houses and change them into two-story or three-story buildings. He also did not prepare to tamp the soil, and used red bricks for everything. He would buy materials as he built the houses.

Li He looked at the small booklet. The loach and eels collected this time was more than 2000 catties more than yesterday. The neighboring village had started to send eels here. It would not be a problem to collect 6000 catties in the evening. Da Zhuang was a little anxious. "Erhe, two donkey carts are not enough. I think there will be more later. It will be difficult to borrow any more livestock."

Li He thought about it. The production team was already giving him face by lending him two donkey carts. If he used horses or oxen, he would be a little discontented. So he said, "You and Lao San go and see which family has handcarts and flooring carts. No matter if it's from the production team or their own family, borrow them all. Give them 2 yuan. At most, we can pull them ourselves. We can borrow at least 4 carts."

If the flooring carts were borrowed, they would need people to pull them. Li He told Li Fucheng about this and promised to help him find people. He also promised to give them 10 yuan for each trip.

When he heard that it was 10 yuan, Li Fucheng smacked his lips. He wanted to ask his second and third sons to come over, but it was a little difficult. One was his eldest grandson, and he wanted to help. The other two were his sons, and he did not want them to work for nothing. He said, "Don't look for anyone else. Your second uncle, third uncle, I will go over and say hello later. As long as you know what you are doing and don't lose money, it's fine. Just let them take 5 yuan. "

Even if it was five yuan, it was not a small amount. Outside, carpenters and house-building workers only got two yuan at most.

Li He felt that it was cheap even if he gave him 10 yuan. Besides, Da Zhuang had already given him 10 yuan. If his own uncle gave him 5 yuan, it would be gossip. Therefore, he decided to do him a favor and said, "Grandpa, it's going to the provincial capital. It will take more than 5 hours to pull the handcart. The road is full of potholes. It's going to be tough. Besides, I'm sure I'll make some money. You don't have to worry."

Li Fucheng said, "Since you have the heart to take care of your uncle, I won't say much. I'll pull one too and go with you. You don't have to give me anything." I'm your biological father, I should do what I should! "

Li He knew the old man's temper, so he didn't say much.

It was very noisy at the entrance. People would come and go at the same time. Li He simply set a time period. From then on, he would only collect them from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. every day. He would not collect after that time period. In this way, he could free up time to do other things. After this period, he would have to build a house. It was so messy that he couldn't deal with anything at all.

During dinner, Li He told them about the plan to build a house at the dinner table. Wang Yulan was stunned. "Aiya, your father is not at home. Building a house is such a big thing, and you're making the decision yourself?"

The siblings looked at each other and could read each other's thoughts. When their father came back, they wouldn't be able to drink in the northwest.

It was not that Li He didn't respect Wang Yulan. It was just that his mother didn't have a mind of her own and was a little soft. Therefore, he said, "Mom, we don't know when our father will come back. We're all grown up. We can't squeeze together anymore. Besides, Third Brother is already so old. If we don't build a house, how can we get married? "

Although Wang Yulan didn't have a temper, she was not stupid. She had two sons at home and had not found a wife yet. She could only be anxious. "But where will the money come from? It will cost a lot. Last year, your uncle renovated three tile-roofed houses and spent more than 500 yuan."

Li He got up and scooped a bowl of rice. He said, "Anyway, we're both grown up. Don't worry about it. I've already talked to Grandpa. When the time comes, I'll come over to work. You just need to cook."

When the local cart was full of goods, it was not easy to pull the cart. The road to the town was full of potholes, so it was difficult to pull the cart. There were two donkey carts and four handcarts, which weighed more than 7200 pounds.

Because the cart was slow, they had to leave early. They set off at around 10 o 'clock. Li Long and Da Zhuang drove the two donkey carts and left first with the lanterns. Li He brought his two uncles and Grandpa with the four cart and followed behind. The old man thought that he was old but strong. He was very stubborn and insisted on pulling the cart instead of driving the donkey cart. He only muttered, "When I was young, I went to the mill across the river. In winter, I carried a wicker basket and swam across the Huai River twice."

You guys

When they arrived at the provincial capital, it was slightly earlier than yesterday. The busiest time for the seafood company was early in the morning, so they did not have to worry about missing people.

After settling the accounts and getting the receipt, Li He asked Li Long to go to the finance office to get the money. The few of them used the tap to wash their faces. Their clothes were drenched in sweat, so they took them off and stirred them in the water. Then, they filled the kettle with water. As for whether it was clean or not, it was not that important. Other than popsicles, the only thing that could quench their thirst was water. The key was mineral water and cola, which could not be bought even if they had the money.

Now, the requirements were not high. As long as they did not eat coarse grains and wild vegetables every day, it was fine.

It was much easier to go home. They sat directly on the donkey cart and the cart was directly attached to the back. It was much more convenient. Li He laid down on the donkey cart and slept.

On the way, Li He decided not to take the loaches. He would only take the eels. There was a difference of nine cents per pound. Transporting seven thousand pounds in one go was already the limit. If all the eels were transported, they could make an extra profit of 300 yuan. If they continued to take the loaches, they would have to continue looking for a cart and hire people. That would be too ostentatious.

With this wise decision, they could make a profit of more than 600 yuan every day.

In the following days, they took in and delivered eels every day.

The family started to build a house. In the era of the production team, when a family built a house, the whole village would help. When building a house, there was no need to hire people, rent, or transport fees. Those who came to help were all assigned by the production team.

Li He could not be so shameless to take advantage of this. As long as they were doing the work, meals would be provided. They sat around two tables and drank wine and ate the main dishes. There was enough meat and wine. Everyone said that Li He was too polite. They were all family, so there was no need to spend so much money on food and wine.

After another day's delay, Li He asked his mother and sister to cook breakfast. Then, he went with the cart drivers to the kiln factory to transport the bricks. The kiln factory was more than ten miles away, so they had to get up early and hurry. They dug the foundation and built the wall. With more people, the work would be faster. Li He's family had enough food, so they did not have the intention to bluff and worked hard.

On the night when they built the roof beam, Li He asked his father, Li Fucheng, to secretly send money to each family according to the type of work. The small workers were eight yuan, and the big workers were ten yuan. Everyone felt that the second son of the Li family was very generous. Li He's family did not have to worry about painting the wall and laying the tiles.

The happiest one was Li Mei, but the most annoyed one was Li Mei. Because they could not find a place to hide the money. Excluding the money used to buy the gravel, bricks, and beams, they still had more than 6,000 yuan in their hands. They did not even dare to think about it in the past.

Li He did not have to worry about this. Looking at the new house that he would be living in soon, he could not help but feel happy. This was the most fulfilling thing after his rebirth. The outer walls of the new house were all red bricks, and they were filled with cement. The roof was made of tiles, and there were no reeds or wheat straw. The height of 4.2 meters was the highest in the village. The ground was directly covered with gravel and sand, and the whole family was in high spirits.

With such a big satellite suddenly appearing in the village, everyone's previous sympathy turned into envy. It was not rare to see three tile-roofed houses in the village, but they were all made of bricks, and the ground was covered with cement. The beams were high, and the area was huge. This was the only one. Many people cursed in their hearts. How much money did the two brats in Li Zhaokun's family earn?

If they didn't earn money, how did they build those three tile-roofed houses? They definitely couldn't be built without at least 1,000 yuan. Didn't you see that they had to take care of their grandfathers and uncles? Even Old Liu's youngest son, Da Zhuang, had to follow them around all day? Li Fucheng used to smoke tobacco, but what does he smoke now? He was smoking 1.8 yuan Hongtashan now.

Many rumors reached the ears of the Brigade Secretary, Liu Chuanqi. If he were to investigate, it would be a little humiliating to look for the orphan and the widow. If Li Zhaokun was at home, he would definitely not be lenient. If he were to not investigate, it would be hard for him to lead the Revolutionary Army in the future. After all, he had a plan in mind and told his wife about it. However, his second daughter, who was sitting beside him, said, "Dad, don't you realize that the situation is different now? Don't you see that the town is full of peddlers? They are everywhere around our county high school. Which village doesn't have a few chickens and vegetables in the yard? Even our house, what's in the cellar? "

After Liu Li said this, she sneaked a glance at her father. Seeing that there was no reaction, she continued, "His Li He is either number one or number two in the county. I heard from my teacher that he will definitely go to university this year. There is no background check for him to go to university now, so how can you affect his decision? When he graduates, he will be directly assigned to work and eat commodity food. Who knows if he will have a bright future? If you become enemies like this, can you be kind in the future? Didn't his third son give you two cartons of cigarettes and two bottles of wine a few days ago? If you were to investigate now, wouldn't it be a typical example of someone who ate a good meal and turned his back on you? "

Liu Chuanqi stared at him and said, "You are the only one who can do it? Is your father a fool?

Wasn't that the case? Naturally, it was left unsettled. If there were people who wanted to say something, Liu Chuanqi directly said, "If you are capable, go and get rich too. No one will stop you."
