Liang Wenhao was still wondering, "What is Old Gu buying cement for? To build a house? This bag isn't enough."
Meanwhile, Gu Yunyang was actually not in much trouble.
The pig farm deal has actually already been finalized.
But we'll have to wait until the busy farming season is over before we can actually begin.
There are still candidates to be selected.
Although he recommended Hao Pingping, Gu Hanping recommended Gu Honglan.
However, finalizing the selection of these two individuals will likely not be so easy.
The other villages might not agree.
For rural girls, raising pigs is the simplest and most ordinary thing.
It's better than working in the fields.
Moreover, they were given quite a few work points every day.
This is also a highly sought-after job.
However, Gu Yunyang wasn't worried. Once he stated his requirements, the girls from the other teams probably wouldn't want to come.
When Gu Hanping returned carrying a bag of cement, the people of Dongshan Village were quite surprised to see him.
"Captain, are you going to repair your house? I haven't heard anything about your house."
"Are we going to lay it on the ground? That would be such a waste, such an extravagance!"
"Also, Captain, how did you get this cement?"
How did you buy this without a ticket?
Gu Hanping, of course, wouldn't say that this thing was actually specially approved by Secretary Hao.
Otherwise, how could the supply and marketing cooperative possibly sell to us?
There are no tickets available.
Gu Hanping gave a few perfunctory replies before finding Gu Yunyang: "As for cement, this is the only bag we can buy for now."
This is the only bag we have left at the Baishi Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative. If you want to buy more next time, you'll have to wait for the Baishi Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative to restock.
I've already arranged things with the piglets; in a few days, the Hongxing Brigade will send us five piglets.
The only thing left is to wait for our brigade's own piglets.
However, our brigade doesn't have many piglets, and quite a few team members have already reserved them at home.
There's nothing we can do about it.
After all, the pig farm deal was only finalized later.
Gu Yunyang wasn't surprised or bothered: "Seven or eight heads in the first year would be good. We'll see then."
Gu Hanping nodded: "Then there's the blue bricks. There's a brick kiln in Hongxing Brigade. I asked around, and the blue bricks are no problem. It's the roof tiles that I haven't been able to find yet."
Gu Yunyang remembered that next to the newly opened street in the base space, there was a shop selling glazed tiles.
Unfortunately, it hasn't been opened yet.
Even if he managed to get it, he wouldn't dare use it.
"It's okay, I'll ask again."
He planned to go to the commune himself to ask where they could make roof tiles. He couldn't afford an apartment building, but he still wanted to build a brick house.
Gu Hanping nodded: "Then what about this beam?"
A brick house must have roof beams.
Cutting down trees now is definitely too late.
Gu Hanping could tell at a glance that Gu Yunyang hadn't prepared: "I have another one at home, which was originally meant for you... for my eldest son to use to build a house. But we don't have the money for that yet, so you can use it first. I'll go cut a few more later."
Fortunately, there were mountains nearby, so the roof beams needed to be prepared in advance and dried. Gu Yunyang really didn't have any.
"Okay, Captain. Then you calculate how much it costs, and I'll get the money for you later."
Gu Hanping meant well; he had just meant to say that the roof beam was for your older brother.
I can provide the money myself. If Gu Hanping's family saves up a bit more, they might have enough money to build a house next year.
Gu Hanping hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gu Yunyang and said, "Okay, but just give me three or five yuan as a token."
Gu Yunyang didn't say anything, planning to give him a few more dollars later.
He wasn't short of money, and Gu Hanping was willing to be close to him and had helped him a lot, so he couldn't be stingy.
"Okay, I'll get it for you later."
