Chapter 42: Lao Tan’s family really made money!
Mid-August is the time of intense heat.
The sun was shining brightly, and you could feel the heat rising from the ground. The air was also warm, as if you were enveloped by a steamer.
On days when he is not going to the market, Tan Shaoyang lies at home.
At noon, the eldest and second child also went home to hide. Building a house was important, but getting a heat stroke would be troublesome.
After picking out enough stones, the only thing left is to lay the foundation. Whether it is wide or not, it cannot be built in one go.
At this moment, Tan Shaonan's father-in-law and brother-in-law came over. Sister-in-law Tan delivered a message to the house and came over to help after harvesting the rice.
Two more strong laborers can make things much faster. After the hottest period of summer, we can go out with a kettle in hand.
Secret Sister-in-law Tan pushed Tan Shaobei and suggested, "You also go and help eldest brother, build his, and then build ours."
Tan Shaobei doesn't have so many twists and turns. He nodded and agreed. Just pick a stone and build it for the boss first. If you have more people, you can go faster.
As he passed by, Tan Shaoyang smiled when he saw Tan Shaobei's actions. The second sister-in-law is indeed a shrewd person. She has laid the foundation for the boss, so it is not easy to ignore him. What a waste of free energy!
In terms of shrewdness, no one can compare with the second sister-in-law!
The boss remained silent, obviously acquiescing.
We are all a family, and there will always be disadvantages, but brothers should not be too fussy, lest they hurt their feelings.
Tan Shaoyang guessed it and didn't bother to say it. It's hard to be a good person when there is a conflict.
The five people just started driving. When they encountered big rocks, they carried them away and piled them up bit by bit according to the position of the pulling wires to ensure that the lines were straight.
When you encounter a high position, beat it down.
There is strength in numbers, and the pile grew long in one afternoon.
The villagers passing by looked at it and asked, "Old Tan, your family is going to build a new house? Is it going to separate the family?"
"Look at this plan. He looks very wealthy.”
A hole has been dug for the foundation, and the outline of the house can be clearly seen. There is also a wooden sign inserted in the hall, making it clear at a glance.
Tan's father's clothes were soaked. He straightened up his sore waist and wiped the sweat with a handkerchief. Only then did he respond, "There are too many people in the family and the house cannot be accommodated."
" As for the matter of family separation, it is not impossible if the children can take charge of the family. "
The villagers looked at it with envy and started to lay the foundation. Isn't it a brick house?
Old Tan’s family has really made money.
Red brick houses are not cheap!
"Old Tan, are you building a brick house? You are really promising."
In 1983, very few people could build brick houses!
After all, money is hard to make, especially in areas near the sea. Whether you can make money or not depends entirely on God.
But they saved money with just one boat, how could they not make people jealous? Immediately, the thoughts of the villagers were aroused. Everyone wanted to have a boat.
Tan's father said, "My family can help a little, but I still have to borrow money from relatives, and pay it back slowly later. It's impossible to save enough money to build a house."
Even if you have to borrow money, you can still do it. Building a house well is also enviable.
After chatting for a while, the crowd dispersed.
Tan Shaoyang looked at the smile on his old father's face and realized that he made the right decision to build a house.
In the eyes of the older generation, all houses are built with mud houses. Tan Shaoyang guided them intentionally or unintentionally, and the eldest and second eldest son set their sights on the brick house of the village chief's house.
In a few years, building brick houses will become a trend. Rich families will want to build brick houses. They will build one or two floors at first, and then build three or four floors as they get richer.
It would be better to build it now and save the money if we have to move the soil again then. After a few years of saving, I can save a fortune again.
Although I owe a debt, it can be repaid within one or two years.
As the sun goes down, everyone doesn’t think about finishing the early work. Instead, they think about working more. If they work for another day tomorrow, they will almost finish the work.
The cooler the temperature, the faster the speed.
We didn’t stop working until it got dark and we couldn’t see clearly.
Mother Tan spent a lot of money and made a bowl of fried fish. It was crunchy and the most delicious meal.
Seafood porridge is a must at the seaside, and then have a steamed clam egg, a cold seaweed dish, and fried bacon.
All the dishes that I would not normally eat are on the table today.
When your in-laws come to help, how can you not entertain them properly?
Tan Shaonan went to drink, and his father-in-law and brother-in-law must be well entertained.
I had a great meal in the evening. I was very hungry. I ate in big mouthfuls. I ate half of the big pot of seafood porridge in one scoop.
That is, at the beach, fish and shrimp are not lacking, otherwise it would be difficult to eat something nutritious!
The family here is eating comfortably, and on the other side, the villagers are looking for Lao Tie.
At first, I could still resist the temptation of the ship, but when I saw that the Tan family could actually build a house, I couldn't resist it anymore.
They also want ships to go to sea to make money.
Their family also wants to build a very luxurious brick house.
Since Lao Tie said there is a ship, we can’t miss such a good opportunity!
At this time, Lao Tie was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling, so he coaxed 250 yuan from the old stubborn man, and the mute girl’s husband agreed to give him 500 yuan by the deadline.
The mute girl wants to go home quietly to get the money. The deadline is the most suitable. After getting the money, she can get the ship quickly, so that the mute girl's father will not be angry.
But the date Lao Tie said was August 20th, which was still a few days away, so I had to endure it patiently.
And now, a villager came to find him, and he was simply overjoyed!
How could you not welcome giving him money?
The more the merrier, more is always better.
Lao Tie used his persuasive words and coaxed people around as soon as he opened his mouth, "It's no problem if you don't have that much money. You can make it up with people you have good connections with, and it's okay to go to sea together."
< br>"Look at Lao Tan's family, aren't there just three people who go to sea? His ship has to be controlled by people. It is different from our ship that requires oil and has an operating panel to control it."
"The ships are wider and bigger, and can carry more goods. Won't you make more money in one trip?"
"It won't take long, you can pay back the money in one or two years." When the time comes, all the money you earn will be in your pocket.”
“Don’t you want to make money? Don’t you want to build a brick house? From now on, you will have to suffer when Lao Tan walks sideways in the village. Wait, doesn’t it feel good?”
"Everyone knows that only those who can make money can have status in the village. If you can't make money, people will not even call you while smoking!"
Although this era was quite simple. , but this situation is also very common.
What Lao Tie said touched their hearts, and they all promised to bring him money when they got back.
Lao Tie urged, "You have to hurry up. This is the third ship. If after time passes and the boss stops taking it, you will have to watch helplessly as others get ships."
The human heart is like this. If you don’t have something, it will make you nervous.
Guys, please read it!
