Chapter 347 The idea of building a brick house
That tone seemed to carry a heavy pressure. After a while, he slowly said:
"Well, this matter really needs to be handled properly. I'll go and do some ideological work on my parents."
"Old people, they have lived through a different era than us, so their ideas are definitely very different from ours."
"I have to find a suitable time to talk to them calmly and slowly, and tell them all the good things about Yang Chan."
"I believe that as long as I am patient and communicate with them little by little, they will definitely accept it."
Wang Jianguo listened to Cheng Erhua's words and nodded slightly, with a hint of relief in his eyes. He said:
"Well, as long as you make up your mind. For this kind of thing, you have to make up your mind yourself. After all, it's your lifelong event."
"Let's go. We have been busy for so long. Let's go back first."
After saying that, the two of them walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative together.
Along the way, both of them were carrying their own thoughts and their steps were a little heavy. After a while, they returned to the supply and marketing cooperative.
At this time, everyone in the supply and marketing cooperative was still busy. Wang Jianguo subconsciously glanced at the wall clock, and the hour and minute hands had already pointed to lunch time.
He cleared his throat and raised his voice to say to everyone:
"Comrades, let's stop here for today. You have all worked hard. Go home and eat first. Only when you fill your stomach will you have the strength to continue working."
"In the afternoon, we are going to build a kitchen in the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative. This is also a big project."
"Fortunately, our supply and marketing cooperative has finished its work today, so you don't have to come back in the afternoon."
"I will notify you all as soon as the new glass counter arrives. Okay, let's go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the supply and marketing cooperative became noisy. Everyone started to pack up their things while talking.
Some were sorting out their account books, putting them carefully into drawers and checking them several times to see if anything was missed.
Some were packing up their tools, putting screwdrivers, wrenches and other tools neatly back into the toolbox.
Others were cleaning their work areas and wiping their desks. After cleaning up, everyone walked towards the door of the supply and marketing cooperative one after another.
Cheng Hai was the last one to leave. He always did things carefully and conscientiously.
He first walked around the supply and marketing cooperative, checked whether the doors and windows were closed, and looked to see whether various items were neatly arranged.
After confirming that everything was correct, he took out the key from his pocket, walked to the door and locked the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
After locking the door, he pulled it hard to make sure it was locked securely, then he walked towards home with confidence.
When Wang Jianguo dragged his slightly tired body back home, he smelled the tempting aroma of food as soon as he entered the yard.
He Yushui had been busy in the kitchen for quite some time and had prepared the meal.
At this time, Zhao Shuzhuo had just returned home. While humming a cheerful tune, he walked to the washbasin in the yard, ready to wash the dust off his hands.
As soon as Zhao Shuzhuo looked up, he saw Wang Jianguo. His eyes lit up and he said to Wang Jianguo excitedly:
"Jianguo, you're back. I'm telling you, I've been busy today. I've already found a bricklayer."
"Those bricklayers are the best in the area, and they work quickly and carefully. Also, I've found a master to make the stove stand."
"That master is well-known in this field. The stoves he made are so useful. We can start the work this afternoon!"
Wang Jianguo smiled brightly when he heard this. He walked quickly to the water well in the yard to wash his hands and responded:
"That's great! This way, we can speed up our progress a lot. Let's have a good meal first and then go take a look together in the afternoon."
While they were talking, He Yushui had already swiftly brought out the steaming hot food from the kitchen and walked towards the house.
As she walked, she shouted:
"You two stop chatting and come inside to eat. We can talk while we eat."
Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo looked at each other and smiled. Their smiles showed their expectation for the smooth progress of the project and their gratitude for He Yushui's thoughtfulness.
Then, the two of them walked into the house together and sat down at the dining table.
Not long after sitting down, Wang Jianguo seemed to suddenly remember something important, put down his bowl and chopsticks, turned around and asked Zhao Shuzhuo:
"Brother Zhao, I suddenly thought of something. Is there a brick kiln factory near us? I have always had an idea to build a brick house."
"But I don't know much about this. If I want to build a brick house, what should I do? What materials do I need to prepare? What are the procedures?"
His eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation, and he was eager to get an answer from Zhao Shuzhuo.
Zhao Shuzhuo looked at Wang Jianguo with a puzzled look on his face, his brows slightly furrowed, a puzzled look in his eyes, and he asked in a surprised tone:
"Build a brick house? Who would want to build a brick house?"
Wang Jianguo was silent for a moment when he heard Zhao Shuzhuo's question, as if he was sorting out his thoughts. Then he slowly said:
"I want to build a brick house. Look, everything around us is slowly changing."
"There is more hope for the future. I believe our lives will get better and better in the future."
"Who knows, maybe soon every family will be able to build a brick house. I also want to have a stable home of my own."
After hearing what Wang Jianguo said, the confusion on Zhao Shuzhuo's face not only did not decrease, but became even more intense.
He tilted his head, stared at Wang Jianguo, and said in a confused tone:
"Why are you building a brick house? Isn't it good for you to live in my house now? We are brothers, why would I ask you for accommodation fees?"
"You live comfortably here, why do you suddenly want to build a house?"
Wang Jianguo looked at Zhao Shuzhuo's determination to get to the bottom of the matter and knew that he had no choice but to make things clear. He sighed softly and said helplessly:
"Brother Zhao, look, I'm not going to leave here for a while. Maybe I'll stay here forever."
"I have a few relatives in my hometown. They are not doing well and I have to take care of them."
"Besides, my sister might come here to join me in a few days. Then there will be a lot of people around."
"Although your house is spacious, it would be too crowded if so many people moved in. There's no room for them at all."
"Besides, I can't keep bothering you, so I thought about building a house myself."
"And I think brick houses are stronger and more durable. Do you think my idea is okay?"
There was sincerity in his eyes, and he hoped that Zhao Shuzhuo could understand his thoughts.
