The section of road bed in front of the five households has been leveled.

Uncle Zhang is now leading a group of apprentices to first pave the road with gravel and then with yellow sand.

In this way, even if it rains in the future, because the permeability of yellow sand is relatively good, and new drainage ditches have been dug on both sides of the road.

so,

In the foreseeable future, this road will no longer turn into a "cement road" as everyone jokingly calls it when it rains.

Ever since Luo Tiezhu was taken away by the Wang family, he no longer dared to come over to help with work during the day.

But after work, he would come over every day to help repair the road, lift stones, etc.

It's just that Luo Tiezhu is always unwilling to stay at Luo Xuan's place for dinner.

In the end, Uncle Ding persuaded him to put a pack of cigarettes in his pocket every day, and asked him to carry a pound of vermicelli back to eat every now and then.

During Luo Tiezhu's free time after work, he came over to help for an hour or two.

For working, you can get a pack of cigarettes and some vermicelli.

In her heart, Wang was somewhat dissatisfied with this reward.

But after all, Luo Tiezhu could earn a little more for his family without delaying his work points.

So in her heart, Wang is still very greedy for this little reward.

Anyway, every time Luo Tiezhu came home, Wang took the vermicelli and complained: "What a white-eyed wolf! If you don't care about three meals a day for others, you still have a pound of vermicelli every day. You have three meals a day in these two days."

Damn it, I only got a pound. Bah! My family is not as good as outsiders, who are they..."

She kept talking about it, but Mrs. Wang would still carefully put the small bundle of vermicelli into the big, thick and clumsy cabinet.

Close the cabinet door,

Wang, who still felt uneasy, hung an ancient copper lock on it, carefully hung the key on his belt, patted it, and then continued to recite Luo Tiezhu's words...

When Wang thought about how Luo Xuan was paving the road this time, he actually had to pave it hundreds of meters away!

In that case,

The men in the family can work for many days.

When she thought of this, Mrs. Wang felt in her heart that her little boy was getting more and more ambitious.

After all, it’s an extra income, right?

However, due to the obstruction of Dou Bai's army, the road was clearly at the entrance of the village and could not be built.

It's like a snake that has been pinched seven inches. No matter how long its tail is, what's the use?

In this way,

Mrs. Wang was also worried that Luo Xuan would give up on building the road and give up on the road construction, which would deprive her men of a job...

But now Wang heard that Luo Xuan had temporarily given up negotiating with Dou Baijun about the land occupation and started building the road directly to the door of his home.

After taking the reassurance, Ms. Wang could not help but pat her chest and secretly rejoice: This is the best!

The man in his family has work to do, but Luo Xuan can still let Luo Xuan waste money and do useless work... Hey!

Mrs. Wang snickered secretly: If you have money, just play the zither!

Not long after Luo Xuan separated, he built two houses in a row.

This incident caused the Wang family to lose face in neighboring towns.

Now that I can watch Luo Xuan collapse, in Wang's heart, it's like eating ice powder in June and feeling better!

this day,

After Luo Xuan delivered meat to the four neighboring households of Dou Baijun, he made Dou Baijun's children cry with the smell of the meat.

Luo Roan turned around and went to Dai Hongmei's house again.

This time Luo Xuan came to see Dai Hongmei. He did not avoid Dai Hongmei's mother. Instead, he discussed the matter with the mother and daughter. "Aunt Dai, I will leave the vermicelli I grow with you here. If any of the villagers need it, I will leave it here."

Vermicelli, just collect the turtles for me first, and we can settle the accounts once a month, okay?"

Aunt Dai has long wanted to get her hands on Luo Xuan's vermicelli, but she has always had two worries:

First, in supply and marketing cooperatives, consignment stores are not allowed to mix private goods.

Secondly, it is difficult to solve the problem of "buying and selling".

Now that Luo Xuan came to the door, Aunt Dai felt happy and worried at the same time, "Luo Xuan, I know you are capable and have a good brain. Will your method work?"

Luo Xuan said: "Don't worry, ma'am, by exchanging soft-shelled turtles for vermicelli, aren't we not involved in business?

Your agency store needs to be guarded every day no matter if anyone comes or not.

I'll leave the vermicelli here with you, and you can help me replace it with soft-shelled turtle. If you're a fellow villager, do me a favor, and the government officials won't mind. Don't worry, aunt, I won't let your help go in vain."

Exchanging vermicelli for soft-shelled turtles did not involve the sale of private goods, so Aunt Dai felt relieved after hearing this.

Aunt Dai was very greedy for this income, but she was still a little worried, "Luo Xuan, fellow villagers, why do you have the nerve to accept your reward? But I don't understand, Auntie, where are the villagers going to find you?"

So many turtles to exchange for vermicelli?”

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this."

Luo Xuan said: "Those who need vermicelli can go to the three brothers of the Zhou family to get turtles..."

As he spoke, Luo Xuan lowered his voice and murmured with Dai Hongmei and her daughter for a long time.

Finally, a satisfied smile appeared on Aunt Dai's face...

The matter was settled.

Next, Luo Xuan and Dai Hongmei's mother murmured for a while, until everything was settled, and then he went home with satisfaction to work on building a house.

(The specific operation method is not mentioned here. For details, please refer to the characteristics of the island country: Bai Qing. Brother. Readers can check it by themselves.)

In the evening of this day, the four neighboring families of Dou Baijun's house went to help Luo Xuan pave the road.

Once you come here, the benefits of building the road in front of your home are needless to say.

In addition, if you help Luo Xuan build roads, you can also get some vermicelli.

It was rare to encounter such a good thing, which made the four families smile with joy.

Some families are happy and one family is sad.

Outside on the construction site, everyone was talking and laughing, and working in full swing.

But inside Dou Baijun's house, it was a gloomy and gloomy time.

Dou Baijun's mother-in-law, Ye Erniang, stood in front of Dou Baijun with a tearful look on her face, "His father, does the family...do they still have money?"

"what money?"

Dou Baijun was confused, "Why are you crying? Since marrying me, have I been short of your food or water? Who are you showing your face to? Frustrated!"

Ye Erniang replied with a sad face: "There is no salt for cooking tonight, and there is no kerosene in the foreign oil lamp."

Dou Baijun glared, "If there's no salt or foreign oil, just buy it. Are there any in the consignment store?"

Ye Erniang said cowardly: "Yes, but I don't have any money. Don't you still have some money for soju?"

Dou Baijun waved his hand impatiently: "If you don't have any money, just take it on credit! You can really spend it. I only gave you 3 yuan last month. Why did you spend it all?"

"A few days ago, I...my brother came over and borrowed 1 yuan and 30 cents for an emergency."

Ye Erniang blushed and said: "Now Dai Hongmei from the consignment store won't give credit to my family... Not only that, her mother also urged me to settle the previous accounts."

"What?!"

When Dou Baijun heard this, he stood up suddenly and said, "Aunt Dai, you old lady! Why can't you trust me? After all, we are also supervisors in the production team, and we are also respectable people in the team. Why can't you give me something on credit?"

?I’ll go talk to her!”

After saying that,

Dou Baijun was wearing a vest and was about to go out.

His mother-in-law's hurried voice came from behind: "Hey, put on your clothes."

How could Dou Baijun go out without putting on his faded old military uniform?

No style.

Dou Baijun went out wearing his thick military uniform on a hot day.

Wait until he steps out of his own courtyard.

When I saw the road in front of my neighbor's yard that had been neatly leveled and half paved with stones, I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in my heart: "I don't know where the wild mice came from! Don't go to the fields to steal corn."

Bangzi, you must move these broken rocks here!"

Said,

Dou Baijun kicked the pile of stones piled on the roadside hard!

"Ouch, it hurts me to death!"
