My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 62: Hiring a house repairman and a lottery novel

"Uncle Fuguo gave it to me."

Li Feng slammed the three big unity tickets on the table and said to Han Fuguo with a rather heroic attitude, "Not enough, I'll get more."

Good boy Han Fuguo was a little confused. This guy has money. Where did all this money come from? "Where did you get this money? I haven't heard that you received any royalties recently."

"Uncle Fuguo, my cousin brought it to me."

Li Feng said, "I just realized my family has a house in the city. Now I'm not going back. I gave it to a relative for a thousand yuan. My aunt saved some of it to prevent me from wasting it. This time, she only gave me a hundred yuan."

"Oh, really, I am that kind of person."

"He also said he would send me some more every month."

Li Feng muttered a bit dissatisfied, and Han Fuguo laughed heartily. "I don't know what kind of person you are, kid. Your aunt is right. Look at how she spent so much money after only giving you a hundred yuan. If I gave you all of it, you'd probably squander it before the New Year."

Han Fuguo put the three big unity notes away. "Okay, I'll ask for you later. Oh, and you still have some money, right? The team is in a tight spot right now. Give them another thirty."

"do not."

Li Feng thought that if this guy paid another thirty, he wouldn't have much money left in his pocket. Even if the royalties came in, it would probably be hard to buy a bicycle. "What? What else do you want to do?"

"If it weren't for Daya and Erya, I wouldn't leave you a penny."

"Okay, okay, hand over hand over."

Li Feng grumbled a few times reluctantly, but he was very happy in his heart. He didn't expect that he could get away with it so easily. Now, he has an aunt in the city who can send him money every month. In the future, he can tinker with some small things to make some money without worrying about being found out.

Now that I have a small treasury, I can finally spend the money openly.

"Why are you so reluctant?"

"What are you talking about? I will definitely listen to you, Uncle Fuguo. I will definitely pay it."

"Why are you still standing here? Get out of here and go get the money and give it to your Uncle Tomita."

Han Futian glanced at the silly-looking Li Feng and puffed on his pipe, "Do you really think I'm stupid?"

"I'll go now."

Li Feng rubbed the place where he was hit. Fortunately, it didn't hurt much, so he went to pay the money happily.

"Da."

Han Anmin whispered, "Do you believe what Li Feng said?"

"shit."

Han Fuguo glared at his eldest son. "Am I stupid? This kid is telling lies. If I believed him, I'd be a fool."

"Then why don't you expose him?"

"What good is there in exposing him?"

Han Fuguo snorted. "This kid's background is unclear, but what does it matter? A new emperor rules, and it's a shame to bring the younger generation down with the sins of the previous generation. This kid has a good heart, so just treat Daya and Erya well."

"Besides, he is now from our Hanjiaba. As long as nothing serious happens, I will definitely protect him." Han Fuguo knew that there was something wrong with Li Feng. He could not endure hardship and loved to enjoy himself. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

But he didn't dare to go home. There was no way he could run away. It was just a matter of time. Fortunately, this kid was a good person and was extremely nice to Daya and Erya. Otherwise, Han Fuguo would have sent him to the police station long ago.

"Then the source of this money is okay, right?"

"What's the problem? I have an aunt in the city."

Han Fuguo rolled his eyes at Han Anmin. "Besides, this kid can only write a few words to get paid. Who knows how much he got?"

"You said yes."

Han Anmin said with a smile, "If this kid could come up with this much money every day, our Hanjiaba would be rich."

"Get out of here."

Han Fuguo glared at the useless Han Anmin, but this guy immediately took out thirty yuan. "By the way, go talk to your eighth uncle about hiring someone and see whose work points are less."

"got it."

Han Anmin wanted to work for a few days at 80 cents a day. Not to mention other people, this matter was not easy to make public. He had to ask Uncle Futian. Those families had few work points, so they needed to receive some subsidies this time, otherwise they might not have enough autumn grain to eat.

Li Feng went to Han Futian to pay the money and get the bill. Not to mention that he had paid several payments recently, his debt was getting less and less, and he only had seventy or eighty yuan left to pay off.

After returning home, not long after, the people hired here came over.

"You yelled sister-in-law...?"

Why is there a woman here? Ramming earth and building walls are both heavy physical work. Li Feng, Gao Ju and Gao Cheng can't do it, so can this woman?
"What? You look down on me, your sister-in-law."

As soon as the shouting sister-in-law heard Li Feng's tone, she knew that this guy looked down on her.

"I tell you, I can do everything a man can do, without missing a beat."

"No, no, sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Li Feng slapped his forehead and said, "That's right, women really hold up half the sky these days."

"Don't worry, you know who holds the record for pulling a manure cart in our dam?"

Han Anmin proudly introduced, "Sister-in-law, we pulled 105 carts a day, and every cart was full."

"Good guy."

Are you kidding me? Li Feng couldn't believe it. Over a hundred cars, this is too crazy. Of course, you don't need to get on the car to challenge the record. You can just hold up the cart box when getting off.

"Whether it's pulling a manure cart, carrying water, or carrying manure, calling sister-in-law will always be among the top." "Well, it's not a waste of your money, is it?"

"No loss, no loss, big profit."

Li Feng said with a smile. "How about I give Sister-in-law Da Ye a little more pay?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Han Fuguo also came over. "The other two families will start work tomorrow. They are honest, hardworking and capable. I will try to finish it for you within ten days."

"No hurry, no hurry."

Slow work makes for fine work, so Li Feng didn't mind spending a few more bucks. "Uncle Fuguo, why don't we have a brick kiln in our dam? If we could get some bricks, we could make the ground smoother."

"Brick kiln, you dare to think of it."

Are you kidding me? Hanjiaba is such a small place. If they just start making bricks and digging soil for two years, they'll be running out of bricks. "The commune does have a few brick kilns, but most of them are close to the county and the commune. It's not easy for the brigades below to get bricks."

If it's not easy, it means it's still possible, Li Feng muttered to himself. It seems that I have to write a few high-quality articles and become famous. I hope the commune secretary will give me some face.

"That's it."

Okay, let's do it this way first. The next day, Han Andun and Han Anchun also came over and shouted sister-in-law. The three of them started working. Li Feng and Gao Cheng were staring at them.

"I'm afraid this one person is equivalent to the three of us."

Well, they're not in the same league at all. Li Feng looked at Gao Jue and Gao Cheng. "How about this? You go to the ancient village tomorrow. I'll prepare ten kilograms of food coupons for you."

"Row."

Gao Ju saw that there was nothing he could get involved in, so he and his brother decided not to join in the fun. It would be better for them to earn some porcelain and antiques and bring them back to the modern era. The boss would be happy and he would make money as well.

The roof was cleaned up in just one morning, and after two days of drying, it could be covered with straw. Li Feng felt a little embarrassed that they had been tinkering with it for several days but still couldn't do as much as others could in half a day.

"Sister-in-law, settle down, take a rest in Ancun and drink some water."

Li Feng saw that the sun was quite hot and he had been busy for two or three hours.

"It's okay, just wait until this is done."

"Sister-in-law, bring two more loads of mud."

"coming."

Wow, they're all working so hard! They have no idea what laziness is. I have to say, Han Fuguo found really good people. No, we have to make something good for lunch. We're out of bones, but we haven't eaten the pheasant we brought yet.

For lunch, I'll stir-fry a pheasant and a small fish. A lot of ditch crawlers have died recently, and Li Feng has dried them out to dry, so they're perfect for frying. "I'll also stir-fry some pork scraps and cabbage, steam a pot of two-grain flour buns, and cook some millet porridge, and we'll be done."

By the time Li Feng had finished cooking the meal, the roof was already finished, and now they had started making adobe bricks. Don't say that he was really capable, but Li Feng had tried making adobe bricks before, and it was quite tiring.

"Experience mission, earth brick making completion 1%"

Damn, I haven’t completed my sharpshooter mission yet, and here comes another one. Li Feng was speechless. In addition to the vegetable growing experience mission that he didn’t know how to trigger before, now three tasks have been failed.

That’s really great, why don’t you add one more? Li Feng rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Experience mission, rammed earth completion 1%"

Okay, okay, you really are playing this game, you're awesome, you even collected bombs. "System, I protest, this is not how you play."

"Complete four tasks to receive a novel."

Phew, Li Feng thought to himself, what a guy, you said I was just thinking about it and couldn’t bring my representative work, but now you’re doing this, and you can say anything.

"Look at the goods first."

After Li Feng finished speaking, he felt a shudder run through his body. Wow, that was the system's answer. "Never mind, forget it. A novel is at least 100,000 words long, so I can make at least 200 or 300 yuan. Not bad, but this task is a bit difficult."

Originally I just wanted to boil water, cook some food, and repair the house easily, but now I have to do everything myself, earthen bricks, rammed earth, oh, this system is so fucking crappy, it won't let me relax a bit.

"Sister-in-law, Antun, Ancun is ready for dinner."

Li Feng thought that he would talk to the three of them while they were having dinner. There was no other way, he had to follow the instructions and do his job well in order to complete the mission.

"Let's do it a little longer."

"Antun, come on, let's eat first. We don't need to rush." After saying that, Li Feng pulled Antun and the others into the house and washed their hands. When the food was served, the three of them stared at the boss.

"There's not much food, just a bite to eat."

Li Feng smiled and handed chopsticks and steamed buns made of two-grain flour to the three people.

“There’s no food yet.”

Wow! Han Andun felt that this was better than what his family ate during the Chinese New Year. Look, there was chicken, pork scraps, and fried fish. Wow.

“This dish is too much.”

The sister-in-law shouted, "Just make some steamed bread and vegetable soup. There's no need to waste it."

"What are you talking about?"

Li Feng said, "Come to our house to work. If nothing else, you should at least eat your fill. There aren't many dishes here. I'll see if I can get some meat bones to chew on tomorrow. If you do physical work, you should eat more. Sister-in-law, don't be polite. Everyone in Antun Village should start eating. Eat as much as you can."

Several people looked at each other and said, "Let's eat." Others wanted to take the delicious food home for their children to try. Li Dong didn't notice it yet, but Daya and Erya called out to the two little kids from their sister-in-law's family and gave each of them a piece of chicken.

"Go, go, go home, why are you here?"

"Call me sister-in-law, I'm here now, they're just two kids, Daya, take two steamed buns." Li Feng smiled.
