The reason why Sun Xiu laughed was because she suddenly realized that for these two little girls who were loved by everyone, it made no difference whether they admitted their mistakes or not.
Although Li Ruike and Li Leyun are a little naughty, they are not as well-behaved as Li Ju was when she was a child.
But they are as sensible as Li Ju was when she was a child.
As long as they are told, they will never make the same mistake again.
Just like now, Sun Xiu made it clear that they can’t play with lanterns in the future, and the two of them will definitely not do such a thing again.
As for the boys who didn't dare to say a word, it's hard to say.
Thinking of this, Sun Xiu picked up the two little girls in each hand, then kissed each of their little faces and said happily, "Grandma will forgive you two this time. If you do it again, I will spank your little butts."
Hearing this, the two little girls happily kissed Sun Xiulian several times, and kept saying, "Grandma is the best" and "I love you the most."
"With your mouths, grandma will be coaxed to death by you two sooner or later."
After playing with the two granddaughters for a while, Sun Xiu put them down and continued to educate the boys.
Before she finished lecturing him, Liu Yunxiao's family came over. Seeing this, Xiong Xue asked with a smile, "Auntie, are they in trouble again?"
"Yeah, they always like to play with the lanterns now." Sun Xiu replied, then looked at the boys, "You all remember what I just said. If you do it again, I will punish you. Okay, everyone, get ready and start studying right away."
The boys looked at each other and came to the table with bitter faces.
For them, knowing their mistakes and then making the same mistake again is the norm. Even if they are beaten for it many times, they still don't change at all.
Verbal education and scolding are not enough to affect their emotions.
They have sad faces simply because they don't want to study.
The elders of the Li family knew their thoughts very well, and had long been accustomed to them and were too lazy to care about them anymore.
The adults’ requirements are simple. They just need to finish learning high school knowledge. It doesn’t matter whether they can get into college or not.
"Hey, what a coincidence! My nephews also like to play with lanterns," Liu Yunxiao continued with a smile, then changed the subject. "Uncle Li, Auntie, my uncle asked me to tell you something. The county is planning to expand the brick factory, steel mill, build a cement plant, and set up a construction team. If any of your relatives have experience in firing or building houses, please let them know."
"Ah?" Everyone in the Li family was shocked. Li Xu quickly asked, "What did Uncle Liu just tell you?"
"Well, my uncle said that the county just finalized these matters this afternoon. In a few days, a construction team will be set up, and they will be responsible for the expansion and construction of the factory."
Bricks, steel, cement, and construction teams—when these things were linked together, Li Xu naturally thought of a possibility: "Does the county want to do a project?"
"Yes." Liu Yunxiao nodded and explained, "My uncle told me that the county received a document this morning encouraging various regions to build cement plants, and the cement produced will be used for local construction projects.
Construction would not be possible with cement alone, and the brick and steel mills in the county did not produce much each year. If they relied on that little, they would forget about construction. So several county leaders decided to expand the two factories. After all, they produced in-demand products and would not have trouble selling them.
Later, a leader said that since all the materials were available, they should set up a construction team to specialize in projects, from large-scale factories to small-scale residential buildings.
The other leaders thought about it and decided that this would not only create jobs for the county but also help them make money, so they agreed.
In the past in Tang County, whether it was building a factory or building a house for individuals, people would look for a reputable builder, entrust the task to him, and then he would find manpower and carry out the construction.
These people have no jobs and building houses is their source of income.
After the house is built, if there is no new work, they go home to rest.
Now the county wants to set up a special construction team. Based on the development trend in the next few decades, Li Xu thinks it is very feasible.
But to be honest, Li Xu doesn't think it's appropriate to pay these people on time.
Because there are some issues here that are difficult to deal with.
"Yunxiao, if everyone on the construction team works as if they were working, how would their wages be determined? Labor costs are the lowest among all building expenses. For example, if ten people were to build five rooms, it would take at least a month. But labor costs are generally around 100 yuan. Based on the minimum wage of 28 yuan after becoming a regular employee, the county would still be losing money.
Let's talk about the manpower issue. Building factories requires more manpower, while building houses requires fewer. What if we hire too many people and there aren't enough jobs? What if we hire too few people and there aren't enough people?
Liu Yunxiao replied, "My uncle said the construction team only recruits 30 people, and the salary is 18 yuan per month. If we ask them to build a house, the price will be a little higher, but we don't have to worry about the materials. We can get as much as you want.
As long as there aren't too many people building houses, these people will be enough to handle it. If there are too many and there's a shortage of manpower, they can call in help from outside."
Good job.
Li Xu exclaimed in his heart, "What a great guy!"
So this construction team is the designated unit.
If you want to buy building materials without any effort, you can only ask them to build a house.
Although the price is a bit higher, it is definitely worth it.
Because those materials are in short supply, it is difficult to buy them without giving gifts.
Instead of asking for favors and pleasing others, it is better to spend a little more money to make yourself worry-free.
If there are not enough people, these thirty people can transform into thirty contractors, each leading a team to build houses.
