Raising a family through the 1970s

When I arrived at the brick and tile factory run by the local commune, they heard that the members of the corps wanted to order the bricks themselves, and they didn't really want to sell them to them, so they couldn't help it, because if they only burned 10,000 bricks in a kiln, they really couldn't get it, and the waste people worked hard and didn't earn much.

As for why they think that the team members only need 10,000 bricks to buy by themselves, it is not because people are not rich now, and few families can build more than three rooms at a time

Chu Min hurriedly explained, "Master, my brother and I are going to build a house, and I want bricks for five rooms.

Chu Tian answered, "I want seven."

Chu Min was stunned for a moment and looked at Chu Tian, "Didn't you say that you also want bricks for five rooms on the way

?" Chu Tian explained as a matter of course, "If grandma comes, there must be a place to live

, right?" Chu Min was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chu Tian, turning his head to the doorkeeper in the brick kiln and saying, "Master, did you hear that? We have to order a total of fourteen rooms of bricks! This amount can always be burned, right?"

“·····"

Chu Tian glanced at Chu Min speechlessly, and said in his heart, is everything the same as himself?

The gatekeeper opened his mouth, "You, you come and sit down for a while, and I'll go to the commune to find the leader..."

When the leader of the commune heard this, he immediately slapped the table and said in a loud voice, "Burn, why don't you burn it? When did this happen? How many bricks have been burned! Our commune has no money now, and I still want to buy some chemical fertilizer from the commune next door last year before spring ploughing! If you burn more than 100,000 bricks, you can buy a lot of chemical fertilizer..."

As he spoke, he walked out, and said, "Master Li, it just hasn't been the time for spring ploughing, you organize the members who burned bricks before, if it's not enough, find a few more people, work overtime day and night, you can burn a batch before spring ploughing, and the rest will continue to burn after spring ploughing." Master

Li, the gatekeeper of the brick kiln, nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, you sign a note with them, and I will go to the team below to inform people in a while..."

Chu Tian didn't know how many bricks were needed to build a house, everything was discussed between Chu Min and the leaders of the commune, because he heard Chu Tian say that he wanted each house to be bigger, so Chu Min, who originally planned to use 9,000 bricks for one room, changed it to 12,000 bricks for one house, and the fourteen rooms for two people were 168,000 bricks, and one brick was a penny, a total of 1,608, and one person paid half was 804.

For Chu Tian now, let alone eight hundred and four, it is eight thousand four, it is not that he can't take it out, but he looked at Chu Min suspiciously, first of all, is he enough? Thinking about whether he should lend him if he said that it was not enough? Chu Min

felt Chu Tian's gaze, he indifferently took out the money wrapped in layers from his pocket, counted out the deposit of four hundred yuan, and under Chu Tian's surprised gaze, put it in front of the commune leader, and took the deposit slip that belonged to him.

"Little brother?"

Chu Tian reacted, and hurriedly took out four hundred yuan from his pocket and took his deposit note.

The leader of the commune counted eight hundred yuan, and his tone was very pleasant, "When the bricks are burned to 10,000 yuan, they will start to send them to you one after another..."

Chu Min hurriedly said, "Don't be in a hurry to send it first, after the farm is busy, we will dig the foundation, and you will send someone to deliver it when needed?"

The commune leader understood Chu Min's request and nodded, "It's okay." Xin

said that this was okay, he could let the members burn it slowly, but after a pause, he asked again, "You have all built brick houses, don't you want to buy tiles?"

Chu Tian replied without thinking, "We plan to smooth the roof with cement!

This is what Chu Tian said when they were on the road, Chu Min was stunned when he heard it, and then felt that Chu Tian's idea was good, so he was ready to follow along.

On the way back, both of them were silent a lot, only when they were about to arrive at the brigade headquarters, Chu Min asked.

"Little brother, why didn't you ask me how I could take out more than eight hundred to buy bricks?"

Chu Tian smiled, "Second brother, didn't you ask me either? Moreover, what is there to ask about this? We have all separated, how much money can be taken out, it is the second brother's own ability."

Chu Min laughed, "You're right, okay, it's time to the brigade headquarters, you go to the captain, I'll go and return the carriage first."

Chu Tian nodded and got out of the carriage.

Yao Xiuli exclaimed, "Brother-in-law, are you going

to build a brick house?" or a seven-room brick house?" Chu Tian took a banana and ate it, and said slowly when he heard the words, "Well, since you want to build a brick house, it's convenient not to mention that it's clean..."

Yao Xiuli was stunned, but still said hesitantly, "However, it is very expensive to build a brick house... In particular, there are still seven rooms.

Chu Tian glanced at Yao Xiujuan, who was sitting opposite, who was smiling all over her face at this time, and said with a smile, "Xiuli, what are you worried about?

Chutian was very satisfied with Yao Xiujuan hearing that he had spent hundreds of dollars to buy bricks today, and he was not as distressed as before... He will only spend more and more money in the future, if Yao Xiujuan is distressed every time, he will not tell Yao Xiujuan the amount of money spent each time.

Yao Xiujuan also reached out and took a banana and peeled it, handed it to the greedy Wuya beside her, and said with a chuckle, "Brother Tian, why did you just buy bricks and not tiles?

"I still want to make a bungalow, but I don't want a bungalow with mud mixed with wheat straw..."

"I remember when we were driving back to my parents' house, there was a cement factory passing by, and I was going to see if I could buy some cement and build a house with cement, and then the roof would also be made of cement.

After a pause, he said, "By the way, I also plan to lay a layer of cement on the floor in the house, so that it will be clean and tidy up in the future, and you will not be so tired."

Yao Xiujuan blinked, "The cement floor you are talking about, is it the one that is wiped on the floor of the hospital?"

Chu Tian nodded, "Hmm."

Yao Xiujuan was very happy, "Oh, that's good, I thought that the ground of the hospital was extraordinarily smooth, unlike our kind of land, which has to be shoveled every once in a while, otherwise it will be uneven

!" Yao Xiuli listened in a fog on the side, she had never seen cement, nor had she seen what cement paving looked like!

Chu Tianle was happy, and said in his heart that there is nothing now, just a cement brick house Yao Xiujuan is so happy, so when all kinds of new things come out after the reform and opening up, will Yao Xiujuan be crazy with joy?
