Fast Wear: The Spare Tire Runs Fast

"We have wood in our village, and we also have mud walls here. But if we need bricks, we have to go to the county town to buy them. There are kilns in the village for making tiles."

"Then, village chief, we need brick walls for the house, and we will buy the wood and tiles from the village.

We are young and don't know much. Please take care of it and help us. Find some workers from the team and we will pay them.

I don’t know how much it costs per day here.”

Yiang said as he took out a pack of Daqianmen from his pocket and handed it to the captain.

Captain Wang politely declined, then took it and said, "Look at you, kid. As a captain, this is what you should do.

Although you are newly arrived educated youth, once you come to our team, you are part of our team.

As for wages, we pay 20 cents a day for unskilled workers and 40 cents a day for skilled workers, and this includes meals.

If food is not included, it will cost an extra 1 cent. The tiles and bricks are all fired in the kiln in our village, so they are cheaper in our village than outside."

That's reasonable. It doesn't cost much to build a house.

Yiang wanted to increase his salary a bit. After all, he was in the same team, and he would work harder. After all, he had lived here for several years.

I am building a house with Zhao Jincheng. What if I rashly ask for processing fees and Zhao Jincheng is unwilling to pay?

A light bulb went off in my head, and I decided to go look at the land first, and then discuss it with Zhao Jincheng on the way.

"Captain Wang, why don't you take us to see the land first? After we look at the area, we can discuss how to build the house."

"Of course. Come on, I'll take you to see Ha first. Don't you still have to go to the county town to get something later? Don't waste time."

Captain Wang immediately stood up and walked out with his men.

Captain Wang walked in front, and Yiang deliberately lagged behind a little. When Zhao Jincheng saw this, he also deliberately followed Yiang's pace.

Zhou Zhiqiang touched his head in confusion and followed suit.

"Zhao Jincheng, I want to tell you about the workers' wages. I want to give each worker an extra 20 cents a day.

After all, we have no food, so it's impossible to give them food. As for the other reasons, I think you know them too."

"Okay, no problem, that's exactly what I was thinking. And thank you for letting me build the house with you."

"No need, it's not my land. If I can fix it, then of course you can too. We can both take care of each other."

"Okay, thank you so much, I won't say any more.

Or just build a kitchen, since you can't cook anyway.

How about I do it and you provide more food from now on?"

"That's great, of course no problem. I was just thinking about my dark cooking skills. If I live on my own in the future, I'll have to eat raw food every day."

"Lin Yu, I'm actually very curious. You can't cook, and you've never thought about eating when you live alone?

Now that I've moved out of the educated youth camp, it's unlikely I'll be able to go back and eat. What's your plan?"

Zhao Jincheng looked at Yiang with curiosity. Yiang smiled mysteriously and whispered, "There are so many families in the village, there must be someone who is kind and willing to make money.

I provide food and give a little money every month, and there are many people willing to do it."

Zhao Jincheng looked incredulous. How could this be?

Zhou Zhiqiang listened for a long time and suddenly said, "You're all leaving, leaving me alone to live in the educated youth camp?"

"What do you mean you're alone? There are more than ten people here. What? Don't you know how to count?" Yi Ang rolled his eyes and retorted.

Hearing the laughter beside him, Zhou Zhiqiang gave Zhao Jincheng a cold look.

"Well...if the place is big, add me in!

It’s just a matter of having one more room. Jincheng and I can take turns cooking, and you can relax a little, Jincheng.

Now that you're gone, it's boring for me to be alone at the educated youth camp, so I'll get to know you better."

Yi'ang and Zhao Jincheng looked at each other. One more person wouldn't make much, so okay!

Seeing the two nodded in agreement, Zhou Zhiqiang smiled happily and put his arms around their shoulders.

We soon arrived at the east end of the village, and saw an open space of about 100 square meters.

It is covered with weeds and there is a hill behind it.

I was quite surprised. This environment is good, and it's close to the top of the mountain. This thing is great! There is a lot of room for operation!

But the area is indeed not that large. Houses in rural areas all have a yard where chickens and ducks are raised and vegetables are grown.

"This is the land. It's fine to build one house, but if we build two, it will be too small.

"Can you guys take a look and discuss what to do?" Captain Wang asked.

"Captain Wang, we plan to build three bedrooms, a kitchen, and a toilet.

The bedrooms are all built to the same size, a small courtyard is created in front of the door, and a well is dug.”

As Yiang was speaking, Captain Wang suddenly raised his hand. Yiang stopped talking and looked at Captain Wang with some confusion.

"You said you wanted to build three bedrooms. Aren't there two of you? Three rooms would be even smaller."

"Yes, three."

"Captain, I also want to come out and live with them."

Zhou Zhiqiang said with a smile, touching his head.

"Then it's up to you. I have no opinion."

Yiang took out some change from his pocket, counted out a hundred yuan, and gave it to Captain Wang.

"Captain Wang, please take this money and use it to buy materials and other things. Please help us pay for them first.

We discussed the wages and decided to give each worker, regardless of their job size, an extra two cents, but food was not provided.

What do you think? Please help us with the house renovation.

Then he took out another twenty yuan from his pocket, handed it to Captain Wang, and said, "This is your supervision fee and hard work fee for helping me run away."

"What are you doing? Take it back now. We'll talk about it after the house is repaired."

Captain Wang pushed back and said seriously.

"It will be given to you sooner or later. Just accept it. We will feel at ease only if you accept it! Otherwise, we will always feel guilty."

"Well, you kids, I'll take it first.

That... Lin Yu, I have two sons at home, you see..."

"Captain, of course we have to call our brother over! That way we'll definitely feel more at ease.

You can arrange these small matters as you see fit.

You know who the workers should look for and who is the best and most responsible one.

Since we have asked you to supervise the work, we are sure we can trust you."

Yiang said, Zhao Jincheng and Zhou Zhiqiang also nodded.

"Okay, since you said so, I won't be polite.

We will definitely get it done for you. Will the style be similar to the houses in the village, or do you have any ideas of your own?"

"You can find an expert in the village who has experience in house repairs to design it for us.

Let's build a tile shed next to the kitchen where we can store firewood.

Who in the village can do carpentry work like tables, cabinets, stools, etc.?

Please ask them to make some tables and stools for us, a cabinet for each bedroom, and a cupboard for the kitchen.

As for the style, just let them do it as they please."

"Okay, there happens to be a carpenter at the head of our team. He's well-known in several nearby villages, and some people are coming here to learn his craft. He's very skilled."
