Chapter 70 Preparing to Build a Greenhouse
Chapter 70 Preparing to build a greenhouse
The news that Liu Guanshan agreed to grow vegetables for Zhou Chunhe was finally found out by Liu Xinghua. She went to make a big fuss and burst into tears in front of her eldest brother's house, scolding him for ignoring his family affection.
Liu Guanshan called his sister until she cried so hard that her brows knitted together without any clues. In the end, his mother-in-law closed the door and blocked Liu Xinghua's crying.
"Did we do too much?" Liu Guanshan buried his face in his palms and said with a sad face.
"Stop it." My daughter-in-law, Zhu Chunniang, scooped out the pig food from the firewood pot and added cold water. "Rather than pity your sister, I'd rather pity your three babies first."
In order to have a boy, the family had no money left and also owed a lot of foreign debt. While other families in the village were building new houses one after another, his family still had five people crowded into one bed.
"It's an eye-opener for God that a craftsman like yours can offer you such a salary. If you don't do it again, don't blame me for turning your back on others."
"But that is my biological sister after all, the child's biological aunt." Liu Guanshan said painfully.
"So what, your life is almost gone, and you still want to protect your sister's face? Besides, our family is living like this, has your sister ever helped us? It's not that we have helped her every now and then, she's the only one
That child was almost raised by us." Chun Niang became more and more angry as she spoke.
Liu Guanshan was silent. What his wife said was true. Although it was mixed with some personal emotions, in general, it was still realistic.
"So, when the Clay Bodhisattva crosses the river, let's protect ourselves first. When our life gets better, we will naturally have time to help her." Zhu Chunniang comforted her again.
"That's it." Liu Guanshan stopped wavering and decided, "I'm going to the agricultural technology station tomorrow to study, and I won't be back for lunch at noon."
"Do they take care of the food?" Zhu Chunniang asked.
"In charge of food, it's still wages."
"That's not bad. You can go with peace of mind. I will plant the land at home from now on." Zhu Chunniang gave a rare smile.
Liu Guanshan's nose felt sore and he did not dare to look at his wife.
Zhou Chunhe has now relieved the burden of studying. He thought that it would be much easier to just deliver food and pay bills. However, he never thought that his wife would assign him a new task - calculating the cost of building a greenhouse and preparing for the construction.
Greenhouse.
Zhou Chunhe, who had not graduated from junior high school, was already lacking in knowledge. Now that such a professional question was placed in front of him, his situation was even worse.
However, it cannot be left to the daughter-in-law to do, as she is about to give birth.
Zhou Chunhe gritted his teeth and accepted the task. Although he didn't understand much, he knew who to go to. This was considered an ability.
Jiang Lu took a fancy to Zhou Chunhe because he knew how to build momentum and cultivate him well, and he could achieve great things.
On this day, Zhou Chunhe brought food and offered to treat Du Yong to a drink.
"You're inviting me to drink this early in the morning?" Du Yong was startled.
"Isn't it time to catch up? You can just drink tea." Zhou Chunhe said.
"Where to drink?" Du Yong was curious.
"I did bring tea. If you don't mind, I'll borrow some water from you and we can have a drink on the roadside." Zhou Chunhe said with a smile.
"Then I'd better go back to sleep." Du Yong waved his hand and refused.
"Just kidding, come with me." Zhou Chunhe greeted Du Yong to get in the car.
"Why haven't you changed cars yet? Didn't you say you got the ticket?"
"Just change, I've been busy lately," Zhou Chunhe said.
Zhou Chunhe really didn't lie to anyone and took him to a teahouse, "Look, this is a serious place to drink tea, right?"
"Are you asking me for something?" Du Yong guessed.
"Let's talk after we go in." Zhou Chunhe went in first.
A pot of tea came, a few plates of pastries were ordered, cigarettes were lit, and the atmosphere was full. Zhou Chunhe poured a cup for Du Yong in a decent manner, handed it to him, and said, "Manager Du, please have tea."
Du Yong took off his crossed legs and said, "You are so serious, I'm afraid you will drink me away."
"No way, this is tea, not poison." Zhou Chunhe said, pouring himself a cup.
After tasting it, he said, "It's not bad. It quenches my thirst."
Du Yong smiled and said, "You can drink, I'm not very thirsty yet."
It was also the first time for Zhou Chunhe to come to such a place. He was really thirsty, otherwise he wouldn't have suggested drinking tea. The cup was just too small and the drink was not enjoyable enough.
Seeing Zhou Chunhe drink more than half of the pot of tea, Du Yong couldn't sit still, "Brother, what do you want from me?"
Zhou Chunhe glanced at him and put down his cup, "It's not that big of a deal, I just want to ask you some questions."
"What are you asking about?"
“Do you know anyone who makes building materials?”
Du Yong was surprised, "Are you ready to build a house?"
"That's not true. I'm going to build a greenhouse and grow vegetables."
"Growing vegetables in a greenhouse?" Du Yong guessed it right away.
"Exactly, do you know anyone in this field?"
"No, you are planting well, why do you need to build a greenhouse?" Du Yong was puzzled.
"It's not that you want eggplants in winter or radishes in summer. I built the greenhouse to serve you better," Zhou Chunhe said.
"Do you really think so?"
"How about I build a greenhouse for fun?" Zhou Chunhe asked, taking another drink.
"Then if you build your greenhouse, you can't increase the price for me, right?"
"Didn't we sign a contract? What are you afraid of? Everything will be in accordance with the contract." Zhou Chunhe said with a smile.
"There is a contract, but isn't our contract expiring soon?"
"Don't worry, no one can increase your price. If you help me reduce the cost, I will subsidize you additionally." Zhou Chunhe said.
"What kind of subsidy law?" Du Yong looked at Zhou Chunhe and asked.
Zhou Chunhe knew in his heart that this guy wanted to gain some benefits privately.
"Say, if I think it's appropriate, I will definitely agree to it."
"I want you to increase the price of vegetables by 10%." Du Yong said.
"Pull it up?"
"It's because the price of vegetables in the contract is going up, but it actually remains the same."
Zhou Chunhe smiled, "Deal!"
An hour later, Zhou Chunhe paid the bill, which was a total of twelve yuan. He was heartbroken. Today's food was a free gift. Fortunately, he asked him to refill the tea twice. After drinking it, it turned into boiled water, which was considered a recovery.
If the information Du Yong gave him was not worth the price, he would definitely give him a bucket and let him drink it until he died.
"Do you want me to give you some advice on your bicycle?" Du Yong came out and pointed at the old bicycle and asked.
"No need, I've already made up my mind." Zhou Chunhe smiled politely. When Du Yong proposed such conditions, Zhou Chunhe knew that this person was not suitable for close friendship.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Du Yong waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the hotel.
"Grandson Gui, just wait!" Zhou Chunhe cursed and rode towards another road.
When I arrived at the agricultural technology station, I didn't see Fu Xiaoan. The training session was over. Fu Xiaoan was just here to listen to the class. I didn't know when I would meet him.
Liu Guanshan happened to come out from inside at this time and called Zhou Chunhe.
"It's over, why don't we go back together?" Zhou Chunhe asked.
"You go back first, and I will ask someone for advice." Liu Guanshan said.
"Do you know the people inside?" Zhou Chunhe asked.
"Well, it just so happens that he can talk to me about it. I guess we can start working on it tomorrow."
"So fast?" Zhou Chunhe didn't quite believe it.
Liu Guanshan smiled and said, "It can't be done in a day or two. Start first and do it step by step."
"Reliable." Zhou Chunhe rarely agreed.
Knowing people but not their hearts, the human heart cannot withstand the temptation, how many people can live a pure life?
