Zhou Laosan chased Luo Xiaoxin in the yard, and Luo Xiaozhong's two brothers beat him.
Luo Xuan was in the kitchen, staring at the two brand new large stone water tanks in the room in a daze.
According to what the third son of the Zhou family just said, during the past few days when he was away from home, Uncle Zhang and Luo Tiezhu each brought several mason apprentices and brought a large water tank to themselves.
Now the big water tank is full of dried vermicelli.
Aunt Zhang, Third Sister-in-law, and Uncle Ding came over to help me clean up these vermicelli, put them in a water tank, and store them.
Last time I made a total of 50 pounds of starch vermicelli.
After finishing the work, I sent 10 to 8 kilograms of gouache to several households in the production team who had helped me and usually cared about me.
It's just that the gouache pressure scale, after drying them, there is not much dry powder.
Therefore, I estimate that I still have about 45 kilograms of dried vermicelli at home.
These vermicelli were carefully tied tightly by Uncle Ding and Aunt Zhang, and then put into these two brand new large water tanks and stored properly.
There are advantages to putting the vermicelli in a stone water tank: you don't have to worry about the vermicelli getting damp, and you don't have to worry about being eaten by rats or eaten by insects and ants.
Luo Xuan looked at the neat, brand-new chisel marks on the stone water tank, and couldn't help but feel a little mixed in his heart.
Luo Tiezhu and Uncle Zhang worked in the quarry. Although they worked for one day, they could get three days' work points.
It sounds like the income is good.
But in fact, their heavy physical work consumes a lot of energy, so Luo Tiezhu and Uncle Zhang have extremely big appetites and eat a lot of food.
If we use the words of the production team members: This is exchanging their own flesh for food, which is overdrafting their future health...
therefore,
When Luo saw these two brand new large stone water tanks now, he understood that they were hard-won...
Not to mention how Luo Tiezhu and Uncle Zhang persuaded other craftsmen in the quarry, as well as production team leader Peng Zhikun and accountant Dai to get these two large bluestones out.
Let’s just say that after working hard, they also took time to work overtime to dig these two water tanks for themselves.
That is also an extremely difficult thing.
Every hammer and chisel on it, every mark on the stone is etched out with big beads of sweat!
I have to repay this love...
Luo Xuan was lost in thought in the kitchen, and at this moment, Uncle Ding's voice came from outside the fence courtyard: "Luo Xuan, Luo Xuan, are you back?"
In response, Luo Xuan hurriedly ran outside the kitchen.
I saw Uncle Ding standing outside the fence with a black towel around his neck and two big eels in his hand.
As for the three little kids chasing and fighting in the yard, Uncle Ding automatically ignored them.
How can any child in the production team not fight?
When Uncle Ding saw that Luo Xuan was indeed at home, he stretched out his hand to open the gate of Liliwa courtyard and yelled at Luo Xiaoxin who ran over: "Why don't you go back and eat right away?"
Luo Xiaoxin and Luo Xiaozhong, who were originally being chased and beaten by Zhou Laosan in the yard, took this opportunity and rushed out of the yard!
He ran far away in a flash...
It wasn't like these two brothers didn't want to escape before.
They also tried again and again to open the bamboo fence gate.
But the gate of the courtyard was the focus of Zhou Laosan's defense. Luo Xuan had locked the door tightly at that time, and the two Luo Xiaoxin brothers could not find a chance to escape at all!
The two brothers didn't dare to let Luo Xiaoxin knock over the fence and run out.
Because in that case, he would destroy the wall of Luo Xuan's new home, which would be of a bad nature.
The consequences will also be serious.
At least,
Luo Xiaoxin estimated that it would be inevitable for him to be beaten severely by Boss Zhou for three days in a row.
Uncle Ding entered the yard, wiped the eel off the grass stalks in his hand, and threw it into the corner of the yard, the small puddle specially used to raise eels.
Luo Xuan invited Uncle Ding into the room and poured him a glass of water from a hot kettle.
Uncle Ding, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, stared at the brand new hot water bottle in Luo Xuan's hand and couldn't help but praise: "Okay, boy, you have bought more and more things. Well, it's not bad, it looks like a home."
"
Luo Xuan laughed, took out a box of "Daqianmen" cigarettes from his pocket, opened it and handed one to Uncle Ding.
“Good smoke!”
Uncle Ding smiled broadly: "I heard that people outside can't buy this brand of cigarettes! You're a promising kid -->>
[Reading updates are slow to load, there are ads, and chapters are incomplete. Please exit Reading and read again!]
, I actually have such good smoke on my body.”
This box of cigarettes was transferred to Luo Xuan by Liu Fugui on the way back, as a way of apologizing to himself for delaying the departure time of the shuttle bus.
This pack of cigarettes cost me a full 4.9 cents!
However, Luo Xuan, who understands the 'method of research' well, does not care about money in this regard.
Luo Xuan is not afraid of giving gifts to others, but he is afraid that he will not be able to find a way to give gifts, and even if he has gifts, he will not be able to give them out.
Uncle Ding took a sip of water, then took out 8 yuan and handed it to Luo Xuan, "This is the money you... Luo Tiezhu asked me to transfer to you, saying it is your tuition and fees and living expenses for this semester.
As for your living expenses in the school, if you don't have enough money in the future, Luo Tiezhu said that he will ask me to bring it to you again."
Luo Xuan took the money and held it in his hand.
My own tuition fee is 3.5 yuan per semester.
So among the 8 yuan, there are still 4 yuan and 50 cents, which is the money Luo Tiezhu gave himself for living expenses and to buy notebooks and pencils.
As for the 8 yuan.
According to Luo Xuan's estimate: Luo Tiezhu was able to get 5 yuan from the Wang family because of its big head. Luo Tiezhu must have borrowed the rest from Uncle Ding.
It is even possible that all these 8 yuan were money Luo Tiezhu borrowed from Uncle Ding.
As for why he wanted Uncle Ding to hand it over to him?
Needless to say,
With Luo Tiezhu's urinary nature, you can let him work dully, but you want him to play tough and tender?
It is estimated that Luo Tiezhu will never learn this trick in his lifetime.
"Whew ~ nice smoke!"
Uncle Ding exhaled a deep breath of smoke, and then told Luo Xuan with satisfaction: "In the past few days since you left, the three brothers of the Zhou family have never broken anyone in your house. They all take turns to watch here.
I will dry the vermicelli and feed you chickens and rabbits."
"In the morning, Aunt Zhang will come here to take a look before she goes to work. After finishing work, she will also come here."
Uncle Ding said leisurely: "Captain Peng Zhikun, the third sister-in-law and others will come over from time to time to take a look. In the middle of the night, it is my turn to come to your house to take a look.
So, from now on, Luo Xuan, you go to school, and you don’t have to worry about things at home. I dare not say anything for a year and a half, but for ten days and a half, nothing will happen!"
"Luo Xuan, you are smart and diligent."
Uncle Ding stared at Luo Xuan and said, "It's just that you are now part of the same family. I shouldn't have said anything, uncle, but if I don't ask you, we won't feel at ease."
Luo Xuan said with a smile: "Sir, please tell me."
Uncle Ding asked, "I just want to ask you, you always don't earn work points in the production team, how do you make up for the difference in rations at the end of the year?"
Members of the production team have a fixed ration of several hundred kilograms every year.
But this grain is not given to the members for free by the production team. The members are the same as urban residents and workers: these grains are just a quantitative standard.
The fixed rations for commune members are equivalent to the "grain supply vouchers" in the hands of urban residents, which is commonly known as "grain books".
And if members want to move this food home smoothly, they also need to pay for it.
Just like urban residents and employees, when they go to buy food, in addition to showing their food books, they also need to pay.
It's just that urban residents and workers earn wages; while members of production teams earn work points, which are eventually converted into money.
The units where farmers and workers work to make money are just different, but the nature of making money to buy food is actually exactly the same.
When Luo Xuan heard this, he knew that Uncle Ding was worried about him.
While being moved, Luo Xuan lowered his head and looked at the crumpled 8 yuan in his hand, and he started to think twice.
So Luo Xuan said: "Uncle Ding, don't worry, I can still earn my own salt money. And... I plan to build a new house."
Luo Xuan makes money by cooking some eels and turtles, and can even do things that no one else would think of, such as making vermicelli.
Through these things, Uncle Ding also knew that Luo Xuan's skills were getting better and better.
But in his heart, he was actually very worried that Luo Xuan might not be able to last long if he continued like this.
That's why Uncle Ding came here specifically to ask questions today so that he could have some idea.
And maybe what Uncle Ding asked just now also contains Luo Tiezhu's worries.
Never thought about it,
In front of Luo Xuan, not only was he not worried about not having enough money to buy food at the end of the year, but he actually had to build a new house?!
For Uncle Ding, this news is nothing less than a 500-pound bombshell!
In one fell swoop, Uncle Ding was stunned on the spot...
