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

A heavy rain at this time made the villagers very happy. This rain fell during the critical period of wheat maturity and was absolutely effective in increasing grain production.

It's just that the house building site was a bit hectic. It was finally done under the command of his father and second uncle, but Zhang Ziming didn't know about it.

The parents were also worried at this time. The eldest son hadn't come back yet. Was he halfway there, or had he not started walking yet?

It would be best to stay with a friend before you start walking. It’s raining so heavily, it’s dark, and the muddy road is not easy to walk on.

Wanzitou, who had just returned home from the village primary school, was also a little worried. He didn't know if Zhang Ziming had come back. It was raining so heavily, and he was worried.

At this time, there were other people who were also thinking about Zhang Ziming, certainly not Xu Yimin. Xu Yimin thought that Zhang Ziming had arrived home long ago. It had been so long, so he must be home.

At this time, the person who was looking forward to Zhang Ziming's return to the village was Zhang Decheng, who had his head wrapped. He was originally thinking of telling a story, but now he couldn't. He kept holding it in and felt uncomfortable.

Zhang Ziming didn't think so much at this time. After entering the guest house, he just wanted to check in and stay for one night.

Unexpectedly, this guest house only has multi-person rooms. The best ones are double rooms, and there are no single rooms at all.

Moreover, the double rooms were all occupied, which made Zhang Ziming a little hesitant and did not plan to stay there.

If you want to live here in Datongpu, let alone the sound of snoring, just the smell of stinky feet is unbearable.

This guest house is run by the County Plastics Factory No. [-]. It is relatively small in scale and has low specifications.

Of course, the county government guest house must have the highest standards. If you want to stay there, the price will naturally be much higher. The high price is fine, Zhang Ziming will not be reluctant, but it is still some distance away from the county government guest house.

Going there in the rain?

Then it's better to go to Xu Yimin's dormitory again, the distance is about the same.

As for the third uncle's house, we still can't go there.

On a rainy day, what are you doing here, why are you dragging your feet? Aren't you just trying to attract the disdain of your third aunt?

After thinking about a cigarette, I bought a raincoat from the hostel attendant at a high price, then got on my bicycle and went out.

Let's go to Xu Yimin's dormitory again, chat with him about his marriage, and help him plan it together.

....................

Xu Yimin was puzzled when he saw Zhang Ziming appearing in a raincoat.

Are you going home to get money?Or didn't you go home at all?

"Ziming, you are thinking about business, and you still know if there are any stalls on the street."

Xu Yimin said after learning the situation.

"Brother Xu, do you believe that self-employed people can also apply for a business license?"

Xu Yimin worked in a newspaper and was mentally tortured.

The superiors' policies for the self-employed have obviously become much more relaxed, but local governments still tighten the strings and dare not relax.

There have been people setting up stalls secretly on this street for a long time, but when they see the "red armband" they will immediately pack up their things and hide.

There are no particularly clear regulations and policies from above, and of course they cannot be relaxed below.

If self-employed individuals are allowed to apply for business licenses, wouldn’t they be the same as state-owned enterprises?

Will state-owned enterprises allow it?

"Let's not discuss it for now. You haven't eaten yet. Wait, I'll go to the cafeteria to get some food and let's have a drink." Xu Yimin answered in no hurry. Wouldn't it be nice to chat while drinking on a rainy day.

On a rainy day, Xu Yimin couldn't go see his girlfriend anyway, but this gave Zhang Ziming a chance.

I will live in the dormitory of the newspaper office again. When Xu Yimin gets married and moves away, it will be hard to find a place to live.

After taking a sip of Lao Bai, my body was wetted by the cold rain and felt a surge of heat in an instant.

"Ziming, regarding the issue of self-employed business licenses you mentioned, the leaders above are actually studying it. More and more people are secretly setting up stalls to do small businesses. The trend is unstoppable."

Xu Yimin has convenient access to policies, so he naturally supports the self-employed.

"Ziming, I didn't ask you, what kind of business do you want to do? The furniture factory and the brick kiln factory are still in your brigade after all. You should still have your own ideas."

Xu Yimin knew that Zhang Ziming would not be so honest.

"Brother Xu, you still understand me, you still see clearly. I am also looking for opportunities now."

Of course Zhang Ziming would not stop there. Those two factories were set up to make the village rich and had nothing to do with him.

I have a suitable idea now, but I'm just waiting for the policy and the official business license.

Otherwise, you will have to face all kinds of troubles.

After a heavy drink until almost 10 o'clock, I finally couldn't stand it any longer.

After another breakfast in the cafeteria in the morning, Zhang Ziming was ready to return to the village.

The heavy rain stopped last night, and it lasted for six or seven hours.

Of course, the roads in the county are all hardened roads. Even though it rained heavily, there was only water, not mud.

After leaving the city, the sand road slowly turned into a dirt road again, and it was all mud.

The bicycle was also covered in mud, so I could only walk close to the grassy areas on the roadside, as there would be less mud along the way.

There was less mud, but it was still slippery. Zhang Ziming fell down twice naturally.

When we walked about 4 miles away from the village, we saw a transport truck parked in the middle of the road.

Yes, it is the Jiefang brand transport truck commonly known as "Great Jiefang".

It looked like it had broken down, and the driver was squatting and smoking a cigarette.

Seeing Zhang Ziming coming, he immediately stood up and came over.

"Brother, brother, can you help me?" the driver asked eagerly.

It's okay to help, the key is whether you can help yourself.

After asking, I learned that the driver had gone the wrong way.

The driver was from a food factory in the county and was out hauling raw materials. Yesterday's heavy rain caused the driver to take a wrong turn and take the wrong road. He broke down and got stuck in the middle of the road in the middle of the night.

Because it was a short trip, he was the only one in the car, and he was nowhere to be found, so he stopped on the road and didn't go out to find help.

If you leave the car, it will be even more troublesome if something is missing from the car.

So I kept waiting here, and finally saw someone passing by, so I hurriedly stopped.

Smoking the cigarette handed over by the driver, Zhang Ziming said slowly:

"Master, please wait a little while. I'll go back to the village and ask someone to push the car for you."

The driver thanked Zhang Ziming profusely and gave Zhang Ziming a box of unopened cigarettes. At the same time, he also said that he could pay [-] cents to each person who came to push the cart.

He could reimburse the money back to the factory and treat it as repairing the car.

How much does it cost to push a cart? Zhang Ziming didn't take it seriously as a favor.

After a while, I saw a dozen strong and powerful men coming from the south.

Among them, some are building houses for Zhang Ziming and some are building brick kilns. Anyway, they are all strong.

When the driver saw this posture, he would have thought it was a group fight if he hadn't been mentally prepared.
