Sun Dashu and Han Lei were already waiting there with a cart.
Because there were a lot of things to do today, Han Zhenyu explained to the two of them as they walked.
"Dashu, Leizi, come back this afternoon and help me clean up the shabby house next to the homestead. My grandpa and uncle will live there to look after things."
He will bring back the bricks tomorrow, as well as various tools and materials for building the house, so someone must be there to watch over them.
Han Lei asked, "Brother, are you talking about the adobe house of Landlord Feng?"
Han Zhenyu nodded, "That's the room. I went to check it out the day before yesterday. The wall is still good. The roof needs to be fixed and a door installed.
But you two will definitely not be able to make it in time, so find someone in the village who is free and ask them to help. I will pay them when the time comes, 80 cents a day."
"Brother Zhenyu, don't worry about it. Leave it to us. We can get it done for you this afternoon." Sun Dashu said with a big heart.
Han Zhenyu smiled and patted the two men on the shoulders. "Thank you, brothers. I feel relieved with your help. I have already informed the captain and he agreed to let me use it. You can just go and pack it up."
Han Lei said with a smile: "Brother, why are you being so polite? You have made a lot of good things for us in the past two years. I remember it in my heart."
He was not saying this casually. When he and Sun Dashu got married, Brother Zhenyu helped them get the bed sheets, quilt covers, and kettles.
Sometimes Brother Zhenyu would help them exchange sugar coupons and industrial vouchers, and two months ago he even bought him and Dashu a pair of Liberation Shoes each.
Han Zhenyu smiled and said, "I exchanged those with others in the factory. I will be able to become a regular employee next month, and my benefits will also be improved. If you need any tickets, please tell me in advance so that I can keep them for you."
Han Lei and Sun Dashu looked at each other, confused. Wasn't Brother Zhenyu selling goods? Why did he want to be a regular employee?
Han Lei hesitated for a while and asked, "Brother, can I get a permanent job as a trader?"
Han Zhenyu glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? Who is a trader? I am a driver in a machinery factory. You see, I often go on long trips. That's when I go on long-distance trips with the truck."
What he was thinking was, even if I were a trader, I couldn't tell this to you two guys.
If you two let something slip, I'll be the one in trouble.
"Ah, working as a driver in a machinery factory." The two were very shocked.
Sun Dashu said, "Brother Zhenyu, why haven't I heard you mention such a good job?" If it were them, they would have boasted about it to everyone in the surrounding villages.
Han Zhenyu deliberately acted more surprised than the two of them, "I thought you two knew that I was working in the city, who knew you would think that way."
The three of them looked at each other and finally laughed.
"By the way, Brother Zhenyu, does the team leader know that you work in a machinery factory? I see you ask him for a letter of introduction every time. Can't your factory issue it?" Han Lei said.
"The captain knows that I'm learning to drive." Han Zhenyu said evasively, "I asked him to issue a letter of introduction for me to go to the city. If I go to other places, I'll issue it to the factory."
He had only worked in the machinery factory for a year, and he had used the letters of introduction that he had asked the team leader to write to him to get goods from other places.
Even if he were to go out now, he would need two letters of introduction.
Sometimes when it is inconvenient to use a work permit, I use a letter of introduction issued by the village.
However, after his job was regularized, he could no longer get a letter of introduction from the brigade.
Because his household registration was to be moved to the machinery factory in the city.
This is also the reason why he was in a hurry to approve the foundation.
If his household registration was moved, it would be difficult for Su Xiaqiu to get a land grant on his own.
He used to think about moving his household registration to the machinery factory so that he could live in the dormitory.
Then he found a way to get Su Xieqiu retired due to illness, and they divorced and he sent her back to Haicheng.
But the woman said she would not leave and wanted to stay in the village to build a house, so Han Zhenyu had to change his plan.
The three of them walked very fast. The journey that usually takes an hour only took them 40 minutes today because they were in a hurry.
Sun Dashu was waiting outside the supply and marketing cooperative pushing a cart while Han Zhenyu and Han Lei went in to buy things.
They were lucky enough that the last iron pot was bought by Han Zhenyu.
Then I bought bowls, chopsticks, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and various daily necessities.
The house was about to be renovated, and these things were expensive, so Han Zhenyu bought all the tickets he brought.
When looking at the grain prices, Han Lei pulled him outside and whispered, "Brother, don't buy grain here. I'll go to the village to buy it for you as much as you want. The price is about the same as here, and you don't need grain coupons."
Han Zhenyu glanced at him, smiled and nodded, "Then buy me 100 kilograms of cornmeal, 100 kilograms of sorghum flour, 20 kilograms of white flour and rice each. If you have chickens and eggs, please help me collect some as well."
The construction is about to start, but there is nothing at home yet.
When the house was being built, my grandpa, my uncle and my great uncle would definitely have dinner here.
He has to prepare all these before he leaves, otherwise Su Xieqiu will definitely not be able to handle it all by himself.
"Okay, I'll go ask for you tonight." Han Lei said mysteriously, "Brother Zhenyu, my eldest brother caught a roe deer in the mountains the day before yesterday. My parents didn't want to eat it, so they pickled it with salt and plan to sell it in two days. I think the roe deer is quite fat. Do you want one?"
Han Zhenyu immediately said, "Don't sell it. Keep it for me. When my grandfather and my uncle come, you can take the food and the roe deer to the adobe house on the other side of the foundation."
The brigade headquarters is some distance away from his foundation, and there are people coming and going every day, so it is not convenient to cook. It is better to let Su Xieqiu cook over there where the house is being built.
