Chu Min listened to Wang Qiang's words, stepped forward and gently touched the wall with his hand. Seeing that it was not completely dry, he frowned and asked, "Brother Wang Qiang, can we putty on this wall when it's not completely dry?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian also went forward and touched it. Finding that it was indeed still wet, he looked at Wang Qiang in confusion.

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "The wall in front of you was the last one to be plastered, so it dried slowly. The wall we were putting putty on was the first one to be plastered, so it dried a long time ago..."

"I see..."

Chu Tian and Chu Min both walked to the wall where putty was being scraped. Without touching it, they could tell from the color that the wall in front of them was different from the previous one. It was indeed dry at first touch.

Chu Tian walked towards the direction where the heating pack was installed. He touched the pack and found it was warm. He frowned and looked at Wang Qiang, "Why is the heating not on? Aren't you cold working in the house?"

"Don't save coal for me, this heater must be turned on, otherwise you will easily catch a cold while working in the house..."

It’s winter and we can’t do outdoor work, but it doesn’t matter, there are still many things to do indoors, such as the cement floors in the two buildings built by Chu Tian and Chu Min, the cement walls need to be plastered, the putty needs to be scraped, and after these are done, the doors also need to be fixed...

What does having work to do mean? It means that as long as you work, you will get paid!

Therefore, those who work for them are very happy and don't want to take a day off to rest...

Wang Qiang quickly explained, "It's burning, it's burning. We add coal to the boiler three times a day. It burns more vigorously at night. During the day, we usually just crush the coal in the furnace. As long as the fire doesn't go out..."

"I have to work during the day, and it's uncomfortable if the house is too hot, so..."

Chu Tian nodded in understanding, "Alright, then you guys can do whatever feels comfortable to you!"

After a pause, he saw Chu Min coming over and continued, "Brother Wang Qiang, we have something to do and we need to leave soon. Please ask everyone to stop what they are doing for a while so I can pay them their wages."

Wang Qiang's face lit up with joy. "Okay, I'll go get someone right away."

Seeing the workers leaving happily after receiving their wages, Chu Tiancai handed the wages of Wang Qiang's family of three to him.

"Brother Wang Qiang, I just heard from my sister-in-law that Mengzi wants to bring his wife to help with cooking?"

"I, I don't know!"

Wang Qiang was stunned. He thought Chu Tian was angry when he heard him ask this, so he quickly said sternly, "I'll tell Mengzi not to let his wife come. This is a serious matter, not a joke..."

Chu Tian, ​​"..."

Chu Min laughed out loud, and when he saw Wang Qiang looking at him, he smiled and waved his hands, "Brother Wang Qiang, you misunderstood Chu Tian."

Wang Qiang didn't understand and looked at Chu Tian in confusion.

Chu Tian smiled faintly and explained, "Sister-in-law has to cook for more than 20 people by herself, so she is indeed quite busy."

"Just when she mentioned Mengzi's wife, I thought why not let her come over to work too? The salary will be the same as my sister-in-law's."

"This way, she can earn money without being separated from Mengzi. How great!"

“No, no…”

Seeing Wang Qiang wanted to refuse and said he didn't want the salary, Chu Tian waved his hand to interrupt, "It's settled, you let Mengzi go home this afternoon, and bring his wife over tomorrow morning..."

"Isn't there a bicycle I've always left here? Let him ride it back instead of walking."

Because Xinxin went to school in the city, Chu Tian couldn't pick her up every time, and he also felt embarrassed to let her sit on the back seat of someone else's car every time, so Chu Tian bought her a 24 bicycle, which was smaller than the 28. Although it was still too big for her to ride, it was much better than the 28, and it was better than walking to the city...

Chu Tian bought them all for Xinxin. He didn't want Pingping to think he was partial, so he bought another one. In addition to the one he bought for Yao Xiujuan, there are now four bicycles in the family.

A bicycle only costs a little over a hundred yuan, so Chu Tian didn't feel bad at all about keeping the first bicycle he bought for the workers to ride occasionally when they go home. Not only did he not feel bad, he even felt that only one bicycle was not enough, so he planned to buy another one after the bicycle tickets were issued this month.

Chu Min raised his hand and glanced at the time. Seeing that it was already one o'clock, he interrupted Chu Tian who was still talking to Wang Qiang and reminded him, "It's one o'clock. Shouldn't we go earlier?"

Chu Tian nodded, "Well, go earlier. There are private rooms where it's more convenient to talk."

"Brother Wang Qiang, you guys keep working, we'll be leaving first..."

“Hey, hey…”

After hearing what Chu Tian said, several directors were stunned. They looked at each other and didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Seeing that they didn't say anything, Chu Min didn't take it seriously. Instead, he stood up and poured another glass of white wine for each of the two directors.

Director Ma of the cement factory, who had dealt with Chu Min several times, couldn't help but ask, "Chu Min, is this really okay? Don't let it happen..."

Chu Min and Chu Tian understood what he said. Chu Min looked at him and said, "I said we have reliable information. Do you believe the information sent from Jing City?"

"Who said that? Did you hear it from outside? Haven't we heard enough rumors in the past ten years? I advise you two brothers to keep your feet on the ground and not get yourself into trouble. Don't forget the chaos ten years ago!"

Director Ma still had an expression of disbelief on his face, but he said it honestly. He also thought Chu Minren was a good person. Every time he went to the cement factory to buy cement, he would give him something. Even if he didn't buy cement, as long as he passed by the cement factory, he would bring some things and go in to chat with him. Although he was not short of those small favors, it was a pleasure to interact with such a good person.

Chu Tian said seriously, "Director Ma, you can rest assured about this. The person who gave me the accurate information is from Beijing, and he is a high-ranking official. He is someone who has a say. I don't believe other people's news, but I trust his very much."

Seeing Director Ma silent, Chu Tian smiled and explained, "For example, starting from the end of October, our city no longer cares about those who go to the black market to trade, even if the patrol team sees them?"

The director of the brick factory nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. "Yes, yes, I went to the black market to buy something a few days ago, and when I came out, I happened to run into the patrol team. I caught him red-handed, but they just glanced at me and left..."

"You don't know how scared I was at that time!"

The director of the glass factory also chimed in, "I didn't see it, but I heard from my wife yesterday that when she went to the black market to buy fine grains, she was also seen by those people, but they ignored it. My wife thought they were just in a good mood!"

The director of the lumber mill also said excitedly, "Oh, brother, you thought the same as I did. I also thought it was..."
