Body:
Continuing from the above, we said that Zhou Ji had the idea of expanding the house after experiencing the matter of his father-in-law's family visit.
It is not only to reserve a place for relatives to visit, but also to prepare a room for future children to grow up.
But it costs money to expand the house, and Zhou Ji can't take out this money to expand now, and in his very entangled situation, he met his cousin Zhou Zi'an, who he hadn't met for a long time.
After chatting with Zhou Zi'an, he wanted to follow Zhou Zi'an to pull the coal bed to make money, but after Wang Xiuqin heard it, he directly refused!
Zhou Ji had no choice but to explain the matter to Wang Xiuqin as it was, saying that he would not go down the well, but would only help at the wellhead.
Moreover, his cousins were paid a lot.
For each pull, he will be given four cents.
After a busy day, it should be no problem to earn seven or eight yuan.
……。
"Xiuqin, this is not what you think, I don't go down, I can earn seven or eight yuan a day on it, which is about two hundred a month, which is much more cost-effective than my farming."
When Wang Xiuqin heard this, she was also a little moved.
Zhou Ji farms the land, and he can make 10,000 catties of corn in a year, and some of these corns need to be set aside to meet rations and other purposes, and the rest can be sold.
Apart from that, there's not much left.
If there are 1,000 catties of corn left every year, it will already be considered a good year.
But how much can this thousand catties be sold for?
At today's prices, it is just over a thousand yuan, and in the early nineties, it could be sold for even less.
Therefore, when Wang Xiuqin heard that she could earn one or two hundred yuan a month without going into the well, she was also very moved.
Just buy some stone and wood, and if you do it yourself, one or two thousand yuan is completely enough.
After all, it's not about building a particularly good house.
Wang Xiuqin thought for a while and asked, "Is this really the case?" Don't lie to me."
Zhou Ji nodded and said: "It's really like this, my cousin said that they have a total of two people now, two people are just enough to move, the space inside is not very large, one more person can't let go, they all go in, and no one is watching outside, the boss is also inside, and now there are so many coal stealers, just like let me watch in our help, by the way, help them pick it up, give four cents at a time, I think it's quite cost-effective, and this money is settled every day, and it won't be in arrears."
Wang Xiuqin heard Zhou Ji say this, and after thinking about it, she still said: "Since this is the case, then you go and see, if you are allowed to go down the well, you must not go down, you have to think about it, you still have me and two children."
If it's really like what Zhou Ji said, it's not impossible.
After all, it's pretty good to earn seven or eight dollars a day.
But she was still not at ease in her heart, so she instructed again.
Zhou Ji saw that Wang Xiuqin agreed, so he smiled and said, "You can rest assured about this!" I know the measure."
"By the way, don't tell our mother about this matter first, she doesn't know what the situation is, I'm afraid she will be worried, I'll tell her to sell coal with my cousin."
Wang Xiuqin nodded and said: "I know this, but you also have to take the time to come back, although there is not much to do in the field now, but I am afraid that our mother will not win by being busy alone."
"I have a child, and the work in the field is indeed powerless."
Zhou Ji nodded and said, "I know, now the crops in the field have been harvested!" It's not much, I'll be back once a week, don't worry! ”
Wang Xiuqin leaned on Zhou Ji's arms and said with some guilt: "Brother Aji, I really worked hard for you!" ”
Zhou Ji hugged Wang Xiuqin and sighed: "It's you who really suffers, during the time I'm not at home, everything at home has to be handled by you!" ”
"Our dad is not in good health, and our mom has to take care of her, so when you have time, you can also help take care of her."
Wang Xiuqin nodded and said, "I know ......."
After that, she buried her head in Zhou Ji's arms, and only when Zhou Ji was by his side did she feel relaxed.
Zhou Ji left this time, and it may take several days to come back, thinking that it would be impossible to see Zhou Ji every day in the future, she was also a little reluctant.
Zhou Ji hugged Wang Xiuqin and kissed her forehead gently.
……。
Early the next morning, Zhou Ji got up early and told his mother Zhang Huiping that he was going to sell coal with Zhou Zi'an.
Zhang Huiping didn't know the specific situation, she only knew that Zhou Zi'an had indeed made money, and since Zhou Zi'an was willing to take Zhou Ji to make money, she was too late to be happy!
How is it possible to stop?
So, Zhou Ji was very simple and fooled.
He cleaned up briefly, brought a few changes of clothes, and then carried a handbag and walked towards Zhou Zi'an's house.
Wang Xiuqin leaned against the door frame, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Zhou Ji wants to earn money to support his family, and he will leave sooner or later.
Otherwise, how much money can you earn from that little grain in the field?
……。
"Brother Zi'an, are you up?"
Zhou Ji came to the door of Zhou Zi'an's house, and found that the gate was open and there was no one in the yard, so he leaned over the window and shouted through the glass.
Zhou Zi'an was sleeping, rubbed his eyes after hearing Zhou Ji's shout, and saw Zhou Ji standing outside the window, so he knocked on the window and said to Zhou Ji: "I haven't gotten up yet!" The door is not closed, you come in! ”
Hearing this, Zhou Ji opened the door with a smile.
said: "Brother Zi'an, were you tired again last night?" ”
When Zhou Zi'an heard this, he quipped: "You kid, I think you're looking for a fight!" ”
Zhou Ji put away his smiling face and asked, "Speaking of business, Brother Zi'an, didn't you say that you would leave today?" Can't afford it so late? ”
When Zhou Zi'an heard this, he raised his head and asked, "What?" When I told you yesterday, you said you weren't sure, but now you came to my house early in the morning, could it be that your daughter-in-law agreed? ”
When Zhou Ji heard this, he patted his chest and said, "Do you still need her consent?" I'm just afraid that your aunts and sisters will be worried, where am I going, do I have to report to her? ”
Men are all good-looking, even if he obeys Wang Xiuqin's words at home, on his brother's side, he has to pretend to be decent, and he is still in charge of this family.
Zhou Zi'an didn't break it, he said while putting on his shoes: "Since you have decided!" Or what we discussed before, Lao Yu and I only pull to the wellhead, you pull down the flat position above from the wellhead, if someone buys it, you have to be responsible for loading and unloading."
Zhou Ji nodded and said, "I understand this."
Zhou Zi'an nodded and said: "We are brothers, I have to explain this to you in advance, the lead boss is from Zhangjiawan, Lao Yu is from Xiaojing Village, the location of our mine is the land of the boss's family, we have a total of five people, it has been the boss and his own brother digging in it, Lao Yu and I are responsible for cleaning up the waste residue, and after the coal is released, we also help pull the coal."
"It was his daughter-in-law who was helping outside, but during this time, his daughter-in-law was not feeling well, as if she was pregnant!"
"So, there is a shortage of one person at the moment."
"We thought, we want to speed things up, so we have this arrangement."
"I have to say here that cleaning up the waste is not money, only coal can be money, you know?"
Zhou Ji nodded and said, "I understand, you said these before, I thought about it."
Zhou Zi'an nodded and said, "Have you eaten?" If you don't eat it, cook some noodles and eat them, and let's go after eating."
Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Eat, I'll wait for you to ......."
When Zhou Zi'an heard this, he didn't say anything, put on his shoes and went to the kitchen to get food!
There is no one in their family, and they probably all went to work in the fields!
About an hour later, Zhou Zi'an walked out of the bedroom with a denim bag, and he said to Zhou Ji: "Let's go, let's go to Zhangjiawan now, we should be able to arrive at about three o'clock in the afternoon."
With that, he put the denim bag behind him and walked out first.
Seeing this, Zhou Ji also hurriedly followed.
……。
Zhou Ji has also walked many times on the road to Zhangjiawan.
Compared with going to Lijiatuo, the road here is more precipitous.
Next to the road is a cliff, and under the cliff is a big river.
If this falls, it will be more than lucky.
His eldest brother Zhou Jinsheng fell from here, and in comparison, Wu Cheng's luck was much better.
Zhou Ji and Zhou Zi'an are also very familiar with this road, so the two of them did not have any scared expressions, talked and laughed along the way, and slowly walked down the mountain.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Ji and the two finally came to Zhangjiawan Town.
Under the leadership of Zhou Zi'an, they took a motorcycle from the town and went to a village.
Zhou Ji has never been to this village, I heard Zhou Zi'an say what is called Qinglin Village, they have to live in this village, the place where the coal is pulled is not far from this village, and the two of them will eat and live in this village in the future.
This village is not far from the county road, and the conditions are better than Liangshangzi Village, I don't know how much.
Probably because of the coal, the conditions in this village are quite good.
Most of the houses here are blue brick houses, and many have even built cement houses next to the blue brick houses.
It looks like that's extraordinarily magnificent.
There is not a single thatched house like the one in Liangshangzi Village.
The worst is the wood-plank and tile house.
