() Unexpectedly, the third brother said this, Huang Daowu said, "I have no intention of asking for interest!"

"I have to give it even if you don't want it! To be honest, you taking the initiative to lend me money at this time is just a help in times of need. I will remember this sentiment!"

Huang Daozhou was really happy. With this 150 yuan, plus the 450 yuan from the "Second Meeting" that he would be able to get in a few days and the money earned from business, the total amount of funds exceeded 1,500.

I no longer have to worry about unaccounted expenses when building a house.

When Huang Daowu saw his third brother being so happy, he liked it in his heart. He felt like giving roses to others with lingering fragrance in their hands.

During dinner, Huang Daowu told his parents and Fang Guilan about the incident, and showed Huang Zheyuan the IOU written by Huang Daozhou.

"Dad, the third brother also stated in the IOU that the loan will be borrowed for two years, and the interest will be calculated at 6% per year. The borrowed 150 yuan will be repaid with 168 yuan when the time comes!"

"Haha!" Huang Zheyuan said with a smile, "It's nothing. I think I know how to make some money by doing business."

Fang Guilan said, "Third brother's family will definitely be able to make money! If they borrow the money from my family, they will definitely be willing to pay interest."

Huang Daowu was a little strange at first, because Fang Guilan's life was more difficult when he was a child, and his short stature was caused by not having enough to eat.

She is not afraid of hardship or tiredness in order to make money. If she is asked to spend money, it will be like death.

Huang Daowu was amazed that he was willing to give out one hundred and twenty yuan this time. Originally, he expected that Fang Guilan would give out seventy yuan and add the thirty yuan given by his father to make up a round number of one hundred yuan.

Of course Huang Daowu knew how much money the family had in total. After taking out one hundred and twenty yuan, the family only had sixty yuan left.

There are two elderly people at home. If one of them has a headache or fever, going to the hospital is absolutely impossible without money.

Huang Zheyuan is a retired employee, and his employer is responsible for reimbursing medical expenses, which are reimbursed based on the doctor's prescription and invoices. Zhao Xiuzhen has never worked, has no employer, and has no income, so she has to spend her own money.

Therefore, for Huang Daowu, who is cautious and prudent, he must have dozens of dollars at home, and he feels very panicked when he has no money.

Seeing that Fang Guilan was so optimistic about the third brother's family's business, Huang Daowu smiled and asked, "How do you know that the third brother's family will definitely make money?"

"I sewed those kind of 'backpacks' at my third brother's house, and I got one yuan for sewing each one. I saw that his family had saved dozens of them, so I thought they couldn't sell them, so I said a lot to the work unit!"

"Yes! His family has saved a lot, but I haven't seen anyone come to buy it."

"Don't interrupt! I don't know what to say when you interrupt!"

"You say, you say, I won't say anything!"

"It's not that no one bought it, it's that they refused to sell it. I told my work unit about a 'backpack' made of labor fabric, which cost seven yuan a piece. Immediately, several people from good families asked me to show it to them.

look.

When I came back, I happily told my third sister-in-law, thinking that it was a big help, but my third sister-in-law said that these bags were not intended to be sold here, but were intended to be sold in Shanghai!"

Huang Zheyuan, who has been in business for half his life, nodded and affirmed, "That's right! If you take good things to Shanghai and sell them at a higher price, Lao Sanjia is doing the right thing."

Fang Guilan said, "I made an agreement with several colleagues in my workplace to show everyone a sample. The next day I went to work empty-handed, and people kept chasing me to ask what was going on!"

Huang Daowu asked with a smile, "Did you tell people that you made a mistake? All the 'backpacks' were bought by people from Shanghai and are now out of stock!"

"Yeah!"

"Hahaha, you are in big trouble. They will definitely give you money without mercy. Please help me buy one!"

"Yeah! Yeah! That's weird! I just told them that there are "backpacks" for sale, which cost seven yuan each. They were lukewarm and asked me to take one to show them.

Now that I have nothing to show them, they have turned into beggars and forced me to pay for it, asking me to help them buy it.”

"What happened in the end?"

"What else can I do? I only got three of them and bought them for 21 yuan. There are at least a dozen colleagues who also want them. I don't dare to do anything more.

The third sister-in-law said that it was not cost-effective to sell it for seven yuan in our county. Maybe I could buy it for ten or fifteen yuan in Shanghai. As soon as I did the calculation, I said a lot and sold three backpacks.

Third Brother’s family is like losing ten dollars!”

Huang Daowu was so stimulated that he forgot to close his mouth, and the saliva flowed out without even noticing it.

Huang Zheyuan was very happy and said, "It seems that the bags in the third child's house are almost the same as cash. I am really short of money. If I sell dozens of them, I will have the money."

Fang Guilan said, "Yeah! I can sell at least twenty pieces in the factory, but I can get one hundred and forty yuan in one day!"

But I also think we can’t sell it. If we take it to Shanghai, we can sell it for a few more yuan!”

Huang Zheyuan said, "After the third child's house is doing the baggage thing, don't talk about it everywhere. Be on guard against villains!"

"Yes! I already know it, and my third sister-in-law also warned me!"

"You two, please stay close to the third family and help each other, and your life will get better and better in the future!"

"Yeah! Yeah! It's much better now!"

…

The summer days were long, and the wall construction progressed quickly when building the house. On the fifth day, the carpenters began to set up the formwork. Huang Daozhou asked Manager Liu to help find two steel workers who worked for a long time.

These two steel workers were regular workers of the county construction company. Although they only worked for half a day, Huang Daozhou still gave two "Hucheng Daqianmen" two-dollar red envelopes.

The sixth day is the hardest day for bricklayers. When pouring concrete, based on ten centimeters thick and forty-eight square meters, they have to carry five cubic meters of concrete on their shoulders and lift it three meters.

Fifteen young men and seven women came to the Xia family team that day, and they worked until sunset before completing the task.

After pouring, the bricklayers will not come to work the next day. They will wait six days before laying the second floor wall. After the second floor is capped and the beams and tiles are installed, the carpentry can be completed and the formwork can be removed.

At that time, the ground was paved with cement stones. When it was not completely dry, it was washed with water and an iron brush to form a "mill" cement floor.

This kind of floor is relatively high-end in 1981 when there were very few floor tiles and marbles.

The effect is similar to that of laying floor tiles or marble, and its firmness and service life are even greater than that of laying floor tiles. The only disadvantage is that the "sanding" results are smooth, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Huang Daozhou accepted Huang Han's suggestion. The walls were not required to be painted with lime inside and outside. Instead, the small floor bricks were left exposed and the joints between the bricks were caulked with cement.

There was no latex paint at this time, and the walls were usually painted with lime mixed with crushed grass. This kind of wall would always leave people who leaned against it covered in white lime.

Keep the brick walls of the building small, as long as they are scrubbed clean, they will be beautiful and elegant, and will not let careless customers get covered in dust.

When you have more money, it will be better to paint the exposed walls with varnish.
