The brigade had no reason to stop members from renovating their houses, as it wasn't a newly allocated residential land; they simply asked the brigade's director of public security to take a look.
This weathered earthen house was demolished after its frame, doors and windows were removed and then pushed down by the bricklayers. The next step was to remove the bricks, stones and tiles.
Wan Feng handed over the lunch for the bricklayer to Chen Cang's family. He also made pancakes and carrot soup. The food, vegetables and even the grass to be cooked were all provided by Wan Feng. He borrowed the manpower and pots from Chen Cang's family and paid two yuan for each meal.
In fact, one dollar of labor cost is enough to make a meal. Wan Feng gave one dollar more. I don’t know if it was because of Chen Xin.
Chen Xin's mother was extremely excited about the one dollar.
It would take at least half a month to a month to build a house. During this period she could earn dozens of yuan, so how could she not be excited?
Zhang Guangpu and his bricklayers worked very efficiently. They demolished the house and cleared the site in the morning, and started digging the foundation in the afternoon.
The design of the new house is as follows: the direction of the house remains unchanged, but the span has been expanded to nine meters. The original width is more than three meters, and the length has also been expanded to four meters, adding about one meter to each room. Under the east wall of the house, a shed with a length of twelve meters and a width of four meters is built at a perpendicular angle to the house, and it has the same semi-flat roof as Luan Feng's shed.
"Won't the house look empty like this? Will it be cold in winter? And what will we put in such a big house?" When Wu Zhuyan saw Wan Feng's design, she asked such a question that made Wan Feng want to smash her head.
It doesn't cost you any money, so why are you bothering so much? Wouldn't it be better to have a bigger house? Wouldn't it be better to have a bigger house?
"Go, go, go, hurry up and get back to work. There's nothing for you to do here."
"This will be my future home." Zhu Yan actually argued with Wan Feng.
"It's your house, but where's the money? I'll pay for it, so whoever pays has the final say. How about you pay for it?"
When Zhu Yan heard this, she turned around and left without any hesitation.
After the foundation was dug, stones from the old house were removed and filled into the foundation.
After the foundation here was completed, the foundation of Luan Feng's family was almost cured, so Zhang Guangpu's people went back to build Luan Feng's house.
And the new house here is starting to be built.
The only drawback of building a house in this place is that the terrain is too high and difficult to build. There is a carriage road that has been abandoned for many years and has several steep steps.
It is a bit impossible for a tractor to climb here, and it is not easy for a horse-drawn carriage to come here either. A three-ox cart can come here, but the oxen move too slowly.
Wan Feng came up with an idea. He got the team's hand tractor to help the horse-drawn carriage pull materials from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, so that sand, bricks, tiles and other materials could be brought up.
Before we knew it, by Sunday, the frame of Luan Feng's house had been completed, the windows had been installed, and the house frame had also been put in place.
A simple beam ceremony was held, a string of firecrackers was set off, and then mud and mud were applied to the frame of the house, and then the thatchers started to cover it with straw.
In order to keep warm in winter, we can no longer use tiles and can only use straw.
Wan Feng was not at home on the day the thatchers were thatching the house. He and Zhang Xian went to Bohai to purchase supplies.
October 17, 1980 was the Double Ninth Festival, and two days after the Double Ninth Festival was Sunday. Wan Feng and Zhang Xian set out to purchase goods.
A single sale of a 600-yuan electronic watch brought Wan Feng a profit of more than 4,000 yuan. His current net worth is only a few hundred to 10,000 yuan away.
Of these profits, two-thirds came from electronic watches, about 6,000 yuan, and the remaining 3,000 yuan came from clothing and the machinery he tinkered with.
His first goal of having a fortune of 10,000 yuan by the end of 1980 was achieved ahead of schedule.
This time, Wan Feng brought 8,000 yuan with him to purchase goods. He spent 7,000 yuan on electronic watches and the remaining 1,000 yuan on accessories for tape recorders.
Wan Feng was somewhat disappointed with Zheng Yong's performance this time. He only got a sewing machine, which was better than nothing.
When we came back, we naturally took the second team's car.
On the night he returned from Bohai, Xia Qiulong bought 300 electronic watches. Electronic watches had already become a trend in Hongya County.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon on the 20th when Wan Feng and Zhang Xian returned to Wahou.
Xiao Jun drove the tractor directly to the door of Wan Feng's grandmother's house, and Wan Feng and Zhang Xian jumped out of the truck.
Although Xia Qiulong took away 300 electronic watches, the remaining 700 watches were still packed into two travel bags, and the two men each carried one into Wan Feng's house.
After leaving out fifteen or sixteen watches of each color, totaling a hundred, the rest were locked in Wan Feng's box.
These one hundred electronic watches are left for Zhang Xian. Wan Feng promised to give Qi Guangli's market supply to Zhang Xian, and of course he must keep his word.
This guy is probably going to marry Hao Qing next year, but there's no point in getting married without money.
After packing up these things, the two left Wan Feng's grandmother's house and walked towards Xigou. When they passed the Wahou Industrial Site, Wan Feng stopped.
The foundation work of Wahou Industry was finally completed after the arduous and painstaking efforts of the commune construction team.
The construction team's two 28 tractors are pulling stones to the construction site.
"Boy, how is it? Are you satisfied with our work?" Xue Jianguo asked with a shameless face.
"Very good, very good. With the hard work of you workers, the industry behind the depression will definitely be completed by the year 2000." Wan Feng said sarcastically.
"Hey, hey, stop being so sarcastic, can't you see we've already started pouring the foundation?"
"Captain Xue, this is really not working. The progress is too slow. It took you over 20 days to dig the foundation. Building the foundation of a ten-story building shouldn't take that many days, right? If this factory were to be completed by 2000 at this rate, that would be an exaggeration. But 1990 isn't too much of a stretch, is it?"
"I guarantee it won't. I guarantee the factory will be built by this time next year."
This time next year? It’s fun! This time next year, I’ll be back in Longjiang.
"That won't work, Captain Xue. The three-story building can be completed later, but the industrial plant must be ready for use before March next year."
"But…"
"No buts. We are a pilot unit for reform. We can no longer work the way we did before, working until 3 a.m. to get by. What we want is speed and progress."
Xue Jianguo looked unhappy, thinking to himself, you are just a white kid, what do you know? Smiling at you doesn't mean I will listen to you. If you make me unhappy, don't even think about finishing the project next year.
However, Xue Jianguo knew Wan Feng's position in the Wahou team, and although he was unhappy, he did not show it on his face.
"I will try my best to urge the workers to speed up the work and strive to complete the task within the time you require."
Haha, one says try one's best and the other says strive for it. This is obviously perfunctory. But I don't understand the official jargon of you.
"I hope so."
After saying this, Wan Feng left and walked towards Luan Feng's house.
