20 years of teaching

Chapter 496
January 2000, [-] was also the day when Lingnan Rural Credit Cooperatives moved.

The Rural Credit Cooperatives of Lingnan Township, which has been operating in Laojie for decades, has finally moved out of the narrow street and set up its sales office on the wide Migrant Street.

A ten-room, four-story house with a basement on Migrant Street has been completed. The European-style appearance is elegant and beautiful, and the high-ceilinged foyer is magnificent. It has become the most beautiful house on Lingnan Street.

Lin Feifan and Liu Huihui built the five houses on the east side with a loan, and they have been successfully renovated. There are two large potted iron trees on both sides of the gate, and a red carpet is laid at the entrance.

The house is very lively. Today, Lingnan Township Rural Credit Cooperative Association organized a deposit and gift event to celebrate the housewarming, which attracted many people to save money.

In the office on the second floor, Lin Youde and Liu Shouqing were paying the bill with Director Wan of the credit union.

After the main body of the building was completed, Lin Youde and Liu Shouqing contracted the renovation project of the credit union.

Because of the strong appeal of this beautiful building, the business of Lin Youde and Liu Shouqing has boomed. So far, four other families have asked them to build a house, and the construction of two of them has already started.

Today, the two of them took a break from their busy schedules and were invited by Director Wan to come over to drink the wedding reception for the credit union's housewarming, and settle the bill for the renovation project by the way.

After Lin Youde and Liu Shouqing settled the bill, they walked out of the credit union and came to the five houses next door. They touched the walls, beat the pillars, looked up at the floor, and felt indescribably comfortable.

These are five houses that Lin Youde built with the money from selling gold bars. The main structure is exactly the same as the five adjacent houses.

"Shouqing, you can start decorating these five houses!" Lin Youde said.

Liu Shouqing said: "I earned [-] yuan for renovating the house leased to the credit union. This money is not enough! Brother Youde, you can no longer sell gold and silver this time! When the houses of those two families are completed successfully, the final After paying the bill, let's start to decorate these five houses, is it okay?"

Lin Youde said: "Don't worry, I won't sell my ancestral property again! The 40 that Fei Fei and Huihui gave us both left 2000 yuan. Fei Fei said that he would take [-] to pay back the money for the house foundation, and the remaining [-] plus Up to [-], exactly [-], can be used for a period of time. Some materials can be credited, and part of the wages can be owed. Are you going to get married here? Fei Fei and Hui Hui are already living together, the two of us are going to be grandpas soon!"

"Hey—" Liu Shouqing sighed and patted his head, "The two of them are intellectuals, how could they do that?"

Lin Youde looked at Liu Shouqing's worried look, and couldn't help laughing, "Shouqing, what year is it? Why are you still that old-fashioned? Two children live together, isn't it good?"

"But, they're not married yet!" Liu Shouqing frowned, unhappy.

Lin Youde said: "Fan Fei said, we will be engaged to Hui Hui at the end of the twelfth lunar month this year. Once the house is successfully renovated, we will organize their marriage."

Liu Shouqing rubbed his hands together, and said, "Then let's quickly start to decorate the house, and I can borrow some money from relatives."

"You don't need to borrow money, you have to borrow it from me! My family is picking up my daughter-in-law, so I should worry about it. If I can't make up the money, I will call Yue Fan. She told me that when Fei Fei got married, She has no problem borrowing [-]." Lin Youde paused, and took two steps closer to Liu Shouqing, "Shouqing, you and I have been brothers for decades, how much dowry do you want, just tell me the exact number, so that I can advance preparing."

Liu Shouqing was stunned for a while, and then laughed loudly, "Brother Youde, what kind of gift do you want? Right now, your family is struggling financially, and you need to borrow a lot of money for renovations. You don't need to prepare money for the gift, and my family will never ask for a gift."

Lin Youde said: "How can this be done? No matter what, you have to express something? Otherwise, you will lose face! If you speak out, people will look down on you."

Liu Shouqing raised his head and looked triumphant, "Who dares to look down on me? My son-in-law is especially a national teacher and a great hero! He is only in his 20s, and he built ten four-story buildings on the street. My face It's big!"

"This can't follow you, we have to prepare some betrothal gifts!" Lin Youde picked up a shovel placed by the wall and carried it on his shoulder, "Shouqing, let's go to the construction site quickly, and make more money for the children! "

……

……

It was already dark, and Lin Youde, Wu Xiulan, Liu Shouqing, and Wang Guizhen finished work and walked home.

Wu Xiulan was carrying a big bag, which contained bought vegetables such as cabbage, spinach, garlic, shallots, and several catties of pork.

Tonight, the two families are scheduled to have dinner together to discuss the marriage of their children.

Wu Xiulan never imagined that, as an expert vegetable grower, she would go to the street to buy vegetables to eat.

Over the past year, Lin Youde and Liu Shouqing's crops have been fruitless.

The rice seedlings that were inserted were all pulled out in one night.

The vegetable seeds that had just sprouted were suddenly pinched off.

When the vegetable seedlings that were planted grew strong and bright, they were wiped off with pesticides, and all of them withered.

……

I have called the police several times, and every time it was found out, it was Wang Yuegen who did it.

Ever since Wang Xiaoyong's death, Wang Yuegen hated Lin Feifan and Liu Huihui to the core, but he didn't dare to take revenge on them directly, so he vented all his resentment on the fields of the two families...

The police station arrested Wang Yuegen and locked him up several times, but to no avail.

After it was released, Wang Yuegen would intensify his efforts, causing almost no growth in the fields of the two families...

Lin Youde and Liu Shouqing once lurked in the dark, waiting on the sidelines, and caught Wang Yuegen on the spot.

But Wang Yuegen pretended to be crazy and stupid. In order to pretend to be a lunatic and avoid punishment, after being caught, he even grabbed a handful of cow dung and stuffed it into his mouth in public...

For such a person, there is really nothing to do.

So, Wu Xiulan and Wang Guizhen simply stopped growing crops, and went to the streets with their husbands every day to help.

……

Liu Shouqing was carrying a large grass carp, weighing seven and a half catties, and spent 30 yuan.

Along the way, Liu Shouqing looked at the big grass carp again and again, and touched the body of the fish from time to time, loving it, with an expression that he couldn't get enough of it.

I haven't caught fish for a long time, and I feel itchy.

It never occurred to him that he would have to spend money to buy fish to eat.

I have been fishing for decades, every year, every month, every day, there are always so many fish in my family that it is almost a disaster.

But since the construction of his daughter and son-in-law's house started, Liu Shouqing went out early every day and returned late every day. He devoted himself to the construction site and never went fishing in Jinghu Lake.

Now the house is completed, but a new project has been taken over, and the house where his daughter and son-in-law live will soon be renovated. Liu Shouqing is very busy every day.

In the past, he thought that the happiest thing in the world was fishing, but now he thinks that when he is working on the construction site, he feels the happiest.

Liu Shouqing made a calculation, thanks to his and Lin Youde's hard work in the dark, this year they saved a lot of money for their daughter and son-in-law to build a house.

I also made a fortune for the decoration of the Rural Credit Cooperative in Lingnan Town.

Now their masonry skills have won the trust of many people, and they will not worry about running out of business in the future, and they don't have to worry about livelihood issues at all.

Although Liu Shouqing still misses the happy time of fishing in the past, he has decided to listen to his daughter and son-in-law, stop fishing and stay away from the Wang family as much as possible.

In the future, he plans to concentrate on helping others build houses and engage in the construction industry. He has deeply realized that building houses is more profitable than fishing.
