The warehouse will be cleaned up according to the military's requirements, but how to clean it up is the military's business. They have their needs, and Wan Feng decided not to get involved.
But Li Guangyin's new house was occupied by soldiers and his own people, so it had to be renovated.
The problem in summer is probably dealing with mosquitoes. This place is too close to the river and has the most mosquitoes.
This problem is not difficult to solve. Ask someone to make a large mosquito net that covers the entire kang. The problem can be solved by smoking it when you sleep at night.
The main problem it solves is heating in winter.
The kang and fire wall alone cannot warm the whole house, so a homemade heater must be installed.
These four houses are about 80 square meters in size, and a small stove that can heat the area of 80 square meters is enough. Two tons of coal are enough to keep them burning in the winter.
"I've looked at your house, and the heating conditions aren't very good. I'm planning to install a home heater. Do you have any objections? The heater will be yours after we're gone, and you can keep it for your own use for ten or twenty years."
The temperature in the house must be as warm as spring in winter, and this cannot be dealt with.
This seemed like a good thing, so Li Guangyin discussed it with his fiancée and agreed.
There is no hotel in Sijitun, and Wan Feng and his friends will stay here for a few days, so Wan Feng asked Zhang Xian to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy seven sets of luggage.
After buying the luggage, Wan Feng asked Li Guangyin to get some firewood to heat the kang first.
It looks like this kang hasn't been heated for several days, so the moisture needs to be driven away.
After finishing these things, the sky became hazy.
Wan Feng asked Han Guangjia to take Comrade Wang Tang and the others to the restaurant for dinner. He himself wanted to visit Li Guangyin's home and it would be inconvenient for him to bring so many people.
Wan Feng bought a lot of gifts in the shop, spending more than 100 yuan on food and drinks, and asked the owner to deliver them to Li Guangyin's home in a car.
Li Guangyin went home early to tell his mother. His mother and his girlfriend had already started cooking and the dishes were ready.
Li Guangyin's father was very happy to see Wan Feng. He took Wan Feng's hand and got on the kang.
"Xiao Wan, I'm so happy to see your uncle like this. Last year, when I heard your family moved away, I was upset for several days. How long can you stay here this time?"
"Maybe in two or three years. Sijitun is where I'll be staying in the future. Maybe I'll come to your house often to eat."
Li Guangyin's father patted his chest and said, "Come on, my home is your home, you can come every day."
Wan Feng sat down next to Li Guangyin's father and took out a box of good cigarettes and lit one for him.
"Uncle, how's farming going? How much did you earn last year?"
"Hey! What's the point of farming? It's just enough to eat and use every year. Last year, my father and I planted ten mu of wheat and soybeans, and we earned a little over 2,700 yuan."
This income was not low in 1987, but it was not much when calculated on a per-acre basis.
Ten mu of land is 150 mu, and the net income per mu is less than 20 yuan.
One is the low grain price and the other is the low yield. If Wan Feng remembers correctly, the agricultural cooperative system also has chemical fertilizers, but they are all broken fertilizers like triple superphosphate. In this respect, they are not as good as the agricultural reclamation system.
The agricultural reclamation system has diamine and urea, so the crop yields of the agricultural reclamation system are generally higher than those of the agricultural cooperatives.
"What about this year?"
"This year is about the same as last year. We planted one mu less soybeans and planted early-maturing corn instead. I estimate it will be about the same as last year."
Since 1987, Heilongjiang has started to grow corn, and the planting area has become larger and larger. Finally, the planting area of wheat, which was originally the main crop, has become smaller and smaller.
"It will be fine in two years. In two years, food prices will go up, and then you'll have more income."
In the 1990s, after the opening up of grain prices, the income from farming would have a leap.
But it still depends on God's mood.
At this time, Li Guangyin's mother and his wife started serving the dishes quickly, and soon twelve dishes were served.
"Auntie, sister-in-law! Come up and eat together. We are all family, so there is no need to worry about the inside and outside."
"Okay! Yuan, come to the table and eat. Xiao Wan is not a stranger."
Li Guangyin's father sat at the head of the kang, Wan Feng sat in the middle of the kang, on the right was Li Guangyin's younger brother, then Li Guangyin and his girlfriend, and finally Li Guangyin's mother.
"Where is my elder sister?" Wan Feng did not see Li Guangyin's sister.
"I left home last autumn and settled in Shenglitun."
It turned out that she was married. Shengli Village was still in the south of Hongmaoji, more than 30 miles away from Siji Village, which was quite far away.
Wan Feng bought a box of beer, so this time he can drink as much as he wants.
"Let's play it first, three of us?" Wan Feng asked Li Guangyin's father.
"I'm not afraid of you, just blow it!" Li Guangyin was not polite at all, he picked up the beer bottle and was about to blow it.
Wan Feng quickly grabbed him and said, "Uncle, I'm just saying, drinking like this is boring. Let's drink slowly while chatting. Or pour it into a cup."
Li Guangyin's father, Wan Feng and Li Guangyin each poured a glass of beer first, but Li Guangyin's younger brother didn't know how to drink.
"Come on! Uncle, I must first drink this to wish you and Auntie good health, prosperity and wealth. Let's make one for the two of us."
"This kid really knows how to talk. He looks at others and then looks at you, and all he knows is how to fight!" Li Guangyin's mother praised Wan Feng with a smile, but she also didn't forget to belittle her son.
Li Guangyin raised his wine glass, clinked it with Wan Feng's, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"Nephew, eat some food and try your aunt's cooking."
After chatting about some family matters for a while, Wan Feng drank a glass with Li Guangyin's father, put down his glass and started to talk about business.
"Brother Yin, have you told me about the house?"
Li Guangyin nodded: "I said, my dad has no objection. When I get married, I'll get married there after I clean up the west room."
"You heard it in your house this afternoon. We need two cooks. Can my sister-in-law do it? If she can, I'll count her as one. She can cook for eighteen to twenty people."
"If we just cook ordinary meals, it should be fine." Li Guangyin's wife named Yuan answered slowly and softly.
"It's just home-cooked food. You can eat whatever comes down. The other one is Zang Yunli. You two will get three meals a day, and your wages will be three hundred a month. If you do a good job, you will also get a bonus at the end of the year."
Three hundred a month!
Wan Feng originally wanted to give the two of them 500 yuan a month, but then he thought that the number of 250 per person was not nice, so he directly raised it to 300.
It's not much difference anyway.
Even if he doesn't make money on this batch of steel for the military, he can still make a 300% profit, so it doesn't matter if it's more or less.
And they are all my brothers, so it’s a transfer of benefits.
The figure of three hundred yuan a month not only stunned Li Guangyin's wife, but also made Li Guangyin's mother's eyes red.
This is higher than the income from farming ten mu of land, and it is much easier than farming.
But there is also a disadvantage, which is that there is no idle time.
Li Guangyin's mother also wanted to go, but when she thought about the crowds of people inside and outside the house, she gave up the idea.
