Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

When it was almost time to get off work, I naturally transferred to Xu Yimin.

Instead of having lunch in their work canteen, they went to the Dazhong Hotel not far away.

Here at the Volkswagen Hotel, traces of yesterday's wedding banquet can still be seen.

Except for himself and Wanzitou, who knows that the loyal Lin Yugang stood stupidly outside the door of the Volkswagen Hotel yesterday. If he hadn't met him, who knows what else would have happened.

"Brother Xu, are you doing something good? Do we still need to come to the restaurant to eat in this relationship?"

Zhang Ziming asked with some confusion.

The first time I ate white flour steamed buns since my rebirth was in Xu Yimin’s dormitory.

"Ziming, brother, I'm getting married." Xu Yimin said excitedly but with a look of embarrassment on his face.

It is said that getting married is a happy thing, why do you feel so embarrassed?

Is there some difficulty?

Otherwise, why would you come outside and say it?Wouldn't it be more convenient to go to the dormitory or the workplace cafeteria?

Zhang Ziming first congratulated him, and then tried to ask:

"Brother Xu, getting married is a great event. Why do you feel a little worried about it?"

"Ziming, to be honest, my brother is looking for you this time...to borrow money from you."

The intellectual seemed embarrassed about borrowing money, as if he had made a decision that went against his conscience, and he must have made a lot of determination before speaking out.

However, with conditions like Xu Yimin's, do we still need to borrow money?

He doesn't have any bad habits. His only hobby is buying books, and his dormitory is filled with books.

How much can I spend on books?Does he want to borrow money to get married if he can spend it?

Besides, why do you think of yourself when borrowing money?

Want face?Don't want your colleagues to know?

Zhang Ziming still expressed his doubts:

"Brother Xu, it's easy to borrow money. Are you encountering any problems?"

Xu Yimin knew what Zhang Ziming wanted to ask, so he organized his thoughts and explained:

"Ziming, I know, are you curious, why do I need to borrow money? Why do I ask you to borrow money? My brother also has difficulties..."

After some explanation, Zhang Ziming finally understood and felt a little embarrassed about this matter.

It turns out that Xu Yimin's girlfriend has been dating for a long time, and now she has finally decided and started preparing for the trivial matters of getting married.

First of all, Xu Yimin applied for housing with his employer. After getting married, he couldn't live in a single dormitory.

Although the housing has not been approved yet, it is basically fine.

After the house is settled, all the tables, chairs, beds and stools used inside need to be prepared.

According to the woman's request, a TV, sewing machine, watch, bicycle, etc. are also required, commonly known as three turns and one ring.

All of these require money.

Xu Yimin actually saved some money, but after all calculations, it was still not enough.

Some people may say, didn’t the book I collaborated with Zhang Ziming make money on some time ago?

It's impossible to spend it all in such a short time, right?

Zhang Ziming spent the 1000 yuan because he wanted to build four brick houses. Xu Yimin wouldn't spend it so fast, right?

The two originally agreed on a 1200-[-] fee, but the fee was actually not that much at all. In fact, it was only [-] yuan.

If that book is submitted to a publishing house for publication, it is still possible to get more than 2000 yuan in royalties.

The newspaper couldn't give that much, and Xu Yimin believed that Zhang Ziming was the most important contributor to the first book, so he only kept 100 yuan for himself and remitted the rest to Zhang Ziming.

After all, Zhang Ziming gave the outline and details of the second book to Xu Yimin free of charge. This fact should be recorded.

Zhang Ziming didn't know this and thought the two people took more than 1000 yuan each.

Now that I know this, I feel that I owe Xu Yimin so much.

Secondly, why did you ask Zhang Ziming to borrow money?

It was not because the original manuscript fee was given to Zhang Ziming more, but because Xu Yimin did not want to borrow money from his familiar colleagues.

Colleagues should just maintain the relationship of working colleagues.

Zhang Ziming has been traveling abroad and has a way to make money. Xu Yimin knows it, although he doesn't know what he is doing.

So after much deliberation, I still wanted to borrow money from Zhang Ziming.

Looking at Xu Yimin in front of him, Zhang Ziming felt deeply guilty.

He used his novel, and in the end he only got one-tenth of the royalties. Although he didn't know it, his conscience still felt a little bit hard about it.

This time, Zhang Ziming decided not only to lend money to Xu Yimin, but also to help Xu Yimin take care of everything inside and out. He must maintain his face.

As for the money, it doesn't matter how much I spend or not, I still have a certificate of deposit worth 79000 from the provincial bank.

Zhang Ziming was full of thoughts and said sincerely:

"Brother Xu, the money is easy to talk about. Just tell me how much you need and I will deliver it tomorrow. In addition, you don't have to buy the furniture used in your house. I will prepare it and deliver it to you."

Xu Yimin knew Zhang Ziming's good intentions and quickly waved his hand and said:

"Ziming, I'm embarrassed to borrow the money myself. How can I let you make the furniture? I know what happens in the furniture factory. It belongs to your team and not to you personally. Don't embarrass yourself because of me."

What you said is that you are looking down on me, Zhang Ziming.

The furniture factory has been making desks, and Zhang Zhonghe was confused.

If he pays for it and asks him to arrange a set of tables, chairs, beds and stools, he is guaranteed to get 1 approvals.

As for the money, you can just pay it yourself, no matter how big a deal it is.

That was settled, and then we talked about Xu Yimin's marriage partner. She was actually a girl from the county leader's family. What a perfect match.

The young talent hooked up with the county leader and had a bright future.

Zhang Ziming certainly didn't know who Xu Yimin married in his previous life. He only knew that Xu Yimin later left Min'an County, first went to the city, and finally settled in the provincial capital.

I guess it has something to do with the person you're getting married to.

After dinner, after parting ways with Xu Yimin, Zhang Ziming did not go back immediately.

Instead, I continued to ride my bicycle and wanted to stroll around the county. I still had to find a suitable opportunity.

We need to make good arrangements for Lin Yugang, the meatball-headed cousin. What should this Gang brother do for him?

I really have no idea. I really have no idea for a while.

As I turned around, I noticed that there was a "red armband" chasing a young man holding a baggage in front of me.

It seems that it is still not easy for self-employed people in the county to set up a stall, and they have to wait for the policy to be implemented.

After walking a few streets, the weather suddenly changed and it started to rain.

I didn’t bring a raincoat myself. It was raining heavily. How about going to a department store to buy a raincoat?

Let's wait. There happens to be a guest house in front of us, so we can take shelter from the rain first.

Maybe it won’t rain in a while, so let’s go back home when it stops raining.

But the longer he waited for the rain to get heavier, Zhang Ziming felt a little irritable for a while. If he didn't go back, it would be dark and it was still raining, so there was no way he could go back.

When it rains, the progress of the family's new house will be suspended; the construction of the brick kiln factory is also expected to be suspended.

The furniture factory should not have much impact. We have been working inside the house, and we have built a shed outside to store wood, so the progress should not be affected.

The wheat in the field will probably have a final surge due to this rain. It will be harvested in 20 days. This rain is very timely, and there should be a good harvest.

After smoking a cigarette, Zhang Ziming decided to stay in this guest house for now.

The road back to the village must be full of mud, so we decided to stay here tonight.
