Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s
Chapter 15 Preparing to build a house
After lying on the kang for a while, Jiang Yanqiu felt better and wanted to get something to eat.
At this time, Lin Shaoyang stayed outside and called her out. She responded and went out.
Lin Shaoyang was already sitting in the kitchen waiting for her. When he saw her come out, he handed her his wallet and said, "This is your wallet. Check if there's any money missing from it."
Jiang Yanqiu took the wallet and said without any embarrassment, "Thank you, Lin Zhiqing. Let me count first..."
As she spoke, she opened her wallet and carefully counted the money.
After a while, Jiang Yanqiu finished counting the money, looked up at Lin Shaoyang and said, "Lin Zhiqing, the money is correct, it's all here. However, I'm still very weak and can't run around. Can you do me a favor?"
Lin Shaoyang nodded and said, "You said, as long as it doesn't violate the law, it's fine."
Jiang Yanqiu smiled and said, "Even if you dare to do something illegal, I wouldn't dare ask you to do it. Tomorrow, could you help me buy some bricks for the fire wall, four one-square-meter windows, steel bars for two windows, a large iron pot, a kitchen knife, an iron spoon, a kettle, and three water jars. I also need to buy thirty kilograms of grain and some oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. If you can't move all the things, please help me hire two more ox carts and find two more people to help move the things. I'll pay them two yuan a day each, and I'll give you food coupons and money for breakfast and lunch. You can eat at the state-owned restaurant."
Jiang Yanqiu thought that she didn't want to have too much involvement with Gu Qingshi's good friend Lin Shaoyang, so she tried to avoid too much contact with him to avoid attracting hatred in the future.
Lin Shaoyang, the son of a high-ranking official, is a rare talent. He has been working in the countryside for many years and is rich, hardworking and willing to work hard.
He was the best son-in-law in the eyes of many families in the village, and many young ladies were eyeing him.
He and Liu Yuanda were able to live peacefully in the village for so many years thanks to the valuable experience left behind by their married predecessors.
As soon as the new educated youth arrived, several of them shared their experiences with everyone, with six key points:
First, don’t go to anyone’s banquet, and never drink any wine that you didn’t pour yourself or that is out of your sight.
Second, don’t participate in any activities near the river or pond, even if you don’t have to.
Third, don’t be too sympathetic. Don’t just rush to help others when you see them crying and begging. The person who asks you for help may not be a spider spirit, a white-bone spirit, or a fox spirit.
Fourth, don’t easily accept other people’s enthusiastic help or benefits. There is no free lunch in the world, but there are many people who try to gain small gains but suffer big losses.
Fifth, don’t think that the elderly people in the village are necessarily simple and weak. Maybe they are wolves who help the girls and boys in the family to catch people.
Sixth, regardless of gender, do not leave everyone's sight, are not allowed to be alone, and are not allowed to enter the mountains alone, otherwise you may be bullied at any time.
In addition to a bunch of single girls in the village who are obsessed with Lin Shaoyang, there are also girls in the imperial capital who are thinking about him.
For her own safety, Jiang Yanqiu thought it would be better to stay away from him.
But it is not easy to buy these building materials without connections. Either you can’t buy them, or you have to wait in line for a long time to buy them.
By the time she gets to wait in line for her turn, it might be next winter.
She could only turn to Lin Shaoyang for help. Lin Shaoyang had lived here for five years and had accumulated a certain amount of personal connections.
Before, when Gu Qingqing and her friends were building a house, Lin Shaoyang and Gu Qingshi went together to buy building materials.
They were able to get the items they needed on the same day they arrived, which showed that they had certain connections.
Speaking of this, Jiang Yanqiu couldn't help but complain about the author of the novel.
In the book, all the credit for the heroine and her friends' construction of the house and purchase of bricks seemed to be attributed to the original male protagonist Gu Qingshi, completely ignoring Lin Shaoyang's contributions.
What's even more outrageous is that Lin Shaoyang only had dinner with the two time-traveling female protagonists because of his good relationship with Gu Qingshi, but he was portrayed as taking advantage.
In fact, according to the original owner's memory, whether it was buying bricks or lime, or going out hunting, it was always Lin Shaoyang who followed Gu Qingshi around and helped tirelessly.
Gu Qingshi had just arrived and was not familiar with the roads yet. Hunting was probably no problem for him, but buying bricks, glass, lime and other things was really difficult without connections.
In today's society, most areas are still dominated by agricultural production, and brick and tile factories must give priority to farmers' production.
The production of brick and tile factories is limited, and bricks and tiles have always been in short supply.
If you want to build or renovate a house and need to buy bricks and tiles, you have to apply in advance and then wait in line. It may take a year and a half at the fastest, or three to five years at the slowest.
This is also one of the reasons why most people now live in adobe or mud brick houses.
Lin Shaoyang worked tirelessly to build a house for Gu Qingqing and Qiao Lei, running around and running around.
In the eyes of Qiao Lei and Gu Qingqing, Lin Shaoyang worked so hard because of Gu Qingshi.
They felt that the person they should thank was Gu Qingshi. If it weren't for Gu Qingshi, how could Lin Shaoyang help?
When Lin Shaoyang heard that Jiang Yanqiu was going to buy so many things, he couldn't help but remind her, "Jiang Zhiqing, we'll be living in the countryside in the future, and we'll have a lot of money to spend. Save money wherever you can."
Jiang Yanqiu responded calmly with a nonchalant expression, "It doesn't matter. This money might not belong to me if I don't use it anyway. Since you're going to build a house, you should do your best to make it more comfortable for yourself. I'll give you 100 yuan first. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it."
After saying that, she took out a hundred yuan and a stack of bills from her pocket and handed them to Lin Shaoyang.
Lin Shaoyang immediately understood Jiang Yanqiu's intention and took the money without saying anything.
He knew that Jiang Yanqiu had long realized that carrying such a huge amount of cash would only bring trouble, so she did not admit that she had money.
Now everyone knows that instead of letting others worry about the money, it is better to spend it yourself, so that you can be quieter and safer.
After all, no matter where you are, there are always some people who are restless and unruly.
Especially in a situation like today, Jiang Yanqiu carried a huge sum of 265 yuan, and the news spread throughout the village.
If I don't use up all the money, I'm afraid someone will come and take advantage of it in the future.
In the future, not only will the single young families in the village target Jiang Yanqiu, but the thieves and scoundrels in the surrounding area will definitely come to the educated youth site frequently to scout the area.
I felt even more disgusted with Lin Xiaomei. If it weren't for her, the girl wouldn't have spent all her life-saving money.
Lin Shaoyang went back to the room to get a notebook and wrote down everything Jiang Yanqiu wanted.
He said, "Tomorrow I'll call Liu Yuanda and go to the village to get someone to help. You just need to pay for lunch and give him one yuan. You don't have to pay more."
Jiang Yanqiu also declined, saying, "Okay, I don't understand these things either. Just help me out with the work. If you don't have enough money, come to me for more."
After confirming that nothing was missing, Jiang Yanqiu added, "Don't call Gu Zhiqing for help."
So as to avoid being hated by Gu Qingqing again.
