After asking this question, Xia Jin felt a little regretful. Even if she wanted to go, what could she do? She was already old and had no student record. Even if she started studying from high school, Xia Jin could wait, but her aunt and others could not.

When Xia Yanjun heard her ask this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to go to school anymore. It's good like this now. When I make some money, I'll bring my parents over so they don't have to work so hard anymore."

"I don't want to think about anything else. It's unrealistic. My parents are old, and we don't have enough money to support me in further studies."

Xia Jin didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, let's talk about it later. Let's just make money now."

The two chatted for a while, and Xia Jin chatted with her cousin for a while. Looking at her taciturn cousin, she only talked to him about work.

Listening to what her cousin said, Xia Jin could see that he quite liked working in the kitchen. She thought it might be because he didn't have to talk to others. In the kitchen, you just have to concentrate on doing your own job.

Xia Jin waited until they got off work and went home with her two brothers. Xia Yanjun and the others sent Xia Jin home before returning to their own homes.

After returning home, Xia Yanjun looked at his troublesome younger brother. He wanted to beat him up but couldn't bear to do it. Forget it, let him do whatever he wants. He still has his brother.

He felt so much emotion in his heart, thinking that he must be good to Xiaojin in the future. If it weren't for her, he and his brother would still be working in the fields. He worked diligently every day, but only earned so little money at the end of the year, which was not enough to marry a wife.

On the other side, Grandpa Xia and his team also acted quickly. Since they had decided to build a house, they did not delay and agreed with their eldest son to live in their house while the house was being built.

Then they moved all the valuable things in the house to Uncle Xia's house. They did it right away. After everything was moved, Father Xia went to find the construction team in the countryside to discuss the time to build the house.

These things need to be discussed first. In recent years, everyone has had some extra money. Although we cannot build a very good house yet, we still have some extra money to renovate it.

This results in the construction teams in the countryside being very busy. If your family wants to build something, you have to tell them first so that they can arrange a time for you.

The construction team just happened to have a job that could be completed by the end of the month. Father Xia agreed with them to start work next month. After they paid a deposit, he took them to his home to see the place and told them what the building would look like.

He asked them for advice, such as how many bricks he should buy and what other materials he needed. Father Xia asked about all these and also asked them to recommend a few brick factories.

Those who work in this industry know which products are good and which are not. People in the 1980s were still very simple and honest, and generally would not speak against their conscience. The products of the companies they say are good are generally about the same.

After finding the construction team and agreeing on a time, they still had to buy bricks and other materials for building the house. Xia's father and his brother took a donkey cart to the brick factory recommended by others, which was the closest to their home.

In recent years, more and more people have been building houses, and there are more brick factories. Seeing how successful they are, many villages have joined forces to get a piece of the pie.

So the prices are almost the same. Although there are many brick factories, bricks cannot be obtained immediately in many cases. Supply cannot meet demand, and the workers in the entire brick kiln factory are in a hurry.

Although these jobs are very tiring, everyone is very motivated. Being tired is good. The more tired you are, the more you can buy, and the more money you will get at the end of the year.

Father Xia ordered a batch of bricks from them, which was a little more than the quantity the contractor had agreed to. He would rather have some left over than not have enough at the end.

After agreeing on a date, Father Xia and his friends drove to the cattle and horse trading market in town, hoping to buy a cow.

With a cow, it was convenient to transport things into the city. When they got there, the two of them chose for a long time and finally selected a strong calf. Father Xia led the cow and Uncle Xia drove the cart, and they returned home.

People chatting in the village looked at the calf in Xia's father's hands and asked with a smile: "Minye, this is the new cow your family bought. It's growing well and looks energetic."

Father Xia smiled and said, "Yes, he is still young. He can only start working after he grows up."

"How much is it? My family has been thinking about buying one to use for plowing the land."

"About 200 yuan."

An elderly person said with a smile: "It's so expensive, forget it, our family can't afford it."

Uncle Xia said, "Aunt Guihua, I believe other families if they say they can't afford it. But your brother Minqiang is so capable and earns so much money. If your family can't afford it, no one else will."

Aunt Guihua said with some pride: "We earn a lot and eat a lot, it's not as good as you think."

"Aunt, don't be so modest. Everyone in this village knows that your family is rich."

Aunt Guihua laughed a few times and said, "Minli, I heard that your family is going to build a house."

"Yes, this child is filial and insisted on building a new house for Minye and my father. We just went to order bricks."

"That's great, your dad finally made it."

Uncle Xia smiled and said, "Okay, Auntie, you guys can continue chatting. We'll go home first. My dad is still waiting for our news at home."

"Let's go, let's talk later."

Not until they had turned the corner did the crowd resume their conversation:

"It's a blessing to have such a wonderful granddaughter."

"Why isn't such a promising daughter from our family? She built a new house right away. How rich must this granddaughter of the Xia family be?"

"You forgot that he came back to work as a car driver, and he was given a job as soon as he was asked to. He's definitely a millionaire."

"I think it should be more than that."

"Ten thousand yuan household! This is the first one in our village. It's great that he happened in our village. I can show off to others later."

"You said that Minye has been single for so many years and he is not looking for someone else."

"Why do you want to introduce someone to someone? You didn't have any money before, but now you have money, and the new house will be built soon. There will definitely be many people who will introduce him to someone new."

"Isn't this another sister from my mother's family? Her partner died many years ago, and she wants to find another one. What do you think about me introducing her to Minye?"

"Go ahead and try, but you have to do this kind of thing as soon as possible, otherwise what if someone else gets there first?"
