Raising a family through the 1970s

Sand is worthless, and no one will steal it, so it is pulled directly to the place where the house is to be built, and unloaded into an open field at will.

"Chu Min, this is about more than 2,000 catties of sand, is it enough for you and Brother Chu Tian to build two houses?"

Chu Min wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's not enough, I asked Brother Wang Qiang, and he said that the ratio of cement to sand should be 1;4 is the best, and he also said that if there is lime, it will be 1;1;6 will be better and stronger!

" Chu Jun was incredulous, "Is it so troublesome? I think the brick house of the brigade is an ordinary mud wall..."

Chu Min, "So, the courtyard wall of the brigade has only been a few years, and it is already about to collapse!"

Chu Jun, "·····

". Chu Min kicked the sand under his feet, "Brother Wang Qiang said, the wall made of sand, cement and lime will not collapse for forty or fifty years!" "

Oh, that's good, this cement house can live for several generations! When the time comes, our grandchildren will get married, and they can still live!"

"It's a pity that it's not cheap to build a cement brick house, otherwise I ·····

." Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Chu Tian slandered on the sidelines, and his grandchildren thought about it quite well for forty or fifty years! It was a pity! After the reform and opening up, in less than 30 years, the young people would not be able to bear it and would run outside, and how many young people would still be willing to farm in the brigade? It is estimated that all the people who will be left behind at that time will be elderly people·····

Chu Min smiled and greeted the few people who helped, "There are simple meals prepared at home, everyone goes to my house to eat, right?"

Chu Tian glanced at Chu Min, saw Chu Min smiling at him, raised his feet and followed their footsteps, thinking in his heart that these people were not only helping Chu Min, but also helping him, so he didn't plan to take advantage of Chu Min...

said that it was a simple meal, it was really a simple meal, one bowl of corn paste per person, and two corn flour tortillas with the pickles of the old Chu family, even if it was a meal.

But it's such a simple meal, and no one dislikes it, after all, helping each other in the slack is mutual, you help me this time, I'll help you next time, and no one will really take money...

After eating, everyone made an appointment to pull sand twice in two days the day after tomorrow, and then went to the cement factory to pull cement after pulling sand.

When Chu Tian arrived home, he told Yao Xiujuan about Chu Min's request to help the team members to go home for dinner today.

Yao Xiujuan said seriously after listening, "Brother Tian, people help not only to help the second brother, but also to help us, we can't just let the second brother invite someone to dinner."

Chu Tian nodded, "I know, I told you that I want to tell you that I plan to send the food to the second brother's house, and trouble the second sister-in-law to help cook, it's a big deal that I can take a little more, I can't let you have a big belly and cook a few people's meals, right?"

Yao Xiujuan hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, just cook a porridge and make a cake, and I'm not too tired, besides, Xiuli can also do it."

Yao Xiuli on the side nodded hurriedly, "Brother-in-law, I can do it..."

Chu Tian waved his hand, "Xiuli, the eldest brother-in-law knows that you can do it, but the eldest brother-in-law, I don't plan to let your eldest sister do it, how can I ask you to cook for a group of people?" "The reason why I don't let you cook

is because the place we live in is too small, even if we cook well, it is not convenient to eat, and secondly, because the educated youths will come back in two days, and there will be more than a few of us at that time, after all, it is not very convenient..."

Yao Xiuli blinked, let out a well-behaved "oh", and did not refute with Chu Tian, she firmly remembered what her father said before she came, she had to listen to the words of the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law.

Yao Xiujuan will not refute Chu Tian, because she knows that Chu Tian is for her sake, and she firmly believes that Brother Tian will never harm her, all she has to do is to believe unconditionally and support her.

For several days in a row, Chutian went out early and returned late every day, and finally after five days, everything was pulled back, and the sand was piled up in the homestead, as for the cement, Chu Tian originally wanted to unload it into an empty nest in the Zhiqing Point first, but the Zhiqing in the Zhiqing Point had already returned, and he was afraid that these Zhiqing would cause trouble, so Chu Min suggested that he unload it to the firewood room in the courtyard of the old Chu family, anyway, now the firewood in the firewood room is a lot empty, and there is a place to put it, but the two of them thought of the sister-in-law who loves to take advantage

of it... Just when he didn't know where to unload, Sun Weiguo proposed that he should not unload it into the treasury in the brigade headquarters? Anyway, when the brigade headquarters was first built, several large warehouses were built, but they were never used in all

Chu Min and Chu Tian glanced at each other when they heard this, and they agreed after only a little thought, after all, it was not safe to put it in the brigade headquarters wherever it was placed

! Captain Sun looked at the cement stacked in the corner of the warehouse, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Chu Min, Chu Tian, you brothers are okay! You can even buy cement? I heard that the cement that our company ordered last year was not even available when I asked two days ago..."

Chu Min chuckled, "Maybe we're lucky, right?

Chu Tian felt funny when he heard it, what kind of luck is good? What is more prepared? The cement factory has always been unable to produce and sell, no matter how much it is produced, it can be snatched up, otherwise why are many people lined up for a year?

They can buy it, obviously it is Chu Min's cheekiness and willingness to give gifts and say good things, in other words, he really admires Chu Min, he can bend and stretch, how bad it is for the sales director to start talking!

Anyway, he can't do it to the point where Chu Min...

Before Captain Sun closed the door, he took one last look at the cement pile, thinking in his heart, "I don't know when the brigade will be able to save enough money to buy a batch of cement and reorganize the brigade headquarters..."

Chu Min stood at the fork in the road to Zhiqing Point, and said to Chu Tian, "You also heard what the captain said just now, right?"

Chu Tian bowed his head, "Well, the captain will go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting tomorrow, and it is estimated that it is to discuss the issue of spring plowing and planting..."

Chu Min touched his chin, "It's warm early this year, and now the snow has melted, but the fields are too wet to get down, but I estimate that the ground will start turning over in two or three days at most..."

Chu Tian, "Hmm... It's time to get busy.

Chu Min sighed, "Yes, our foundation hasn't been dug yet..."

“·····"

After talking for a long time, my feeling was that I was worried that the foundation had not been dug

up? "Isn't there still two or three days? Let's find some more team members to dig together, there are a total of 14 rooms, and I estimate that it will be almost dug in two or three days..."

Chu Min smiled in his eyes and praised exaggeratedly, "Oh, my little brother is smart!"

Chu Tian rolled his eyes, turned around and left, every time he stayed alone with Chu Min recently, he could be choked by Chu Min and didn't want to say a word!

Chu Min looked at Chu Tian who was walking away, and he was in a very happy mood, why didn't he find his little brother so funny before? The little expression was much cuter than his lifeless appearance before...
