Chapter 341 Meeting an Old Classmate
Chapter 341 Meeting an Old Classmate
The night in the countryside is very quiet, and the chirping of insects can be heard outside the window, converging into a warm symphony in summer.He gradually fell asleep to the sound of this song, and he slept so peacefully that Lin Lin never expected, as if in a familiar dreamland, it was a very reassuring sound.
When I woke up, it was the next day, and I slept very contentedly.
The sun rose from the east, and the sunlight hit a corner of the courtyard wall.
"Lin Lin, come and open the door."
When Lin Lin was fetching water in the yard, brushing his teeth and washing his face, Wang Meng stood outside the yard and called him. He splashed a handful of water and washed his face.The water from the well is very cold and refreshing, and it is refreshing to wash your face!
Without even wiping off the water on his face, he went over to open the door for Wang Meng.
"I just came here and didn't see you open the door, so I knew you didn't get up. Then I went for a run and came back, and you really got up." Wang Meng came over with a basket, which was filled with clothes for Lin Lin. Come for breakfast, "Didn't you have breakfast? Come over and have something to eat, just a few steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, let's make do with it, lest you make it yourself."
He went in and lifted the kitchen table out, lifted the lids of the baskets, and laid out everything.Wang Meng also had a stack of manuscript paper in his hand, he moved a stool and sat down, and said to Lin Lin,
"I drew it for you overnight last night. We'll watch after you finish eating."
"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Lin took a towel to wipe off the water on his face, and said to Wang Meng.He sat down on the chair, picked up the porridge and took a sip, picked up the steamed buns and ate it in big mouthfuls, and asked, "Did third uncle go to town?"
"Well, yes, I went out at dawn, and my brother went with him." Wang Meng said, "After two days, I will come out to make money, so let my parents stop working so hard. I will pay for my younger brother in the future." go to college.
When he was studying here before, he helped his father to sell things together. It was not an easy task to set up a stall outside every day, because he wanted to make more money, and he was outside in the wind and rain every day. I went to set up a stall outside, and didn't close the stall until the evening when it was sold out.
His father stopped setting up a stall in the night market over there after he came home at night.
"Yes, then you should work hard." Lin Lin encouraged.
After he had breakfast, he picked up the design draft painted by Wang Meng to read, and the two of them discussed while watching.After tidying up the things on the table, Lin Lin said, "Come on, go to Zhaojiagouzi with me, and then we'll go to the town to order building materials."
If you want to build a house, you need to hire a construction team, and you need to book in advance the cement and steel bars, and those things will be used when you start building the house.
The two went out together, even if there was nothing valuable at home, Lin Lin locked the inside and outside doors.
After his uncle and the others built a house there, his grandmother and uncle's mother didn't have any idea about his house anymore.In the year when his parents had just left, his closest relatives tried to seize their house and fields, and exhausted all the family affection, so now Lin Lin has no relationship with the people there.
Occasionally, I would hear from his third aunt about his grandma’s affairs. After all his cousins got married, each of them had nothing to do, so they went to work in a factory outside for a month. I can also earn a little money, and those who don’t want to go out stay at home, and the few children in the family have no money to support.
Whether this life is good or not, I can't rely on others, but I still rely on myself, Lin Lin didn't know
The idea of subsidizing those people with their own money.
"Hey, isn't this a college student in our village? Where is this going?"
Lin Lin and Wang Meng looked at that person, he was a second-rater in the village, and they didn't want to pay attention to this kind of person.Even Lin Lin, who has a good temper, would nod his head first, and when he passed by, Wang Meng said, "What do you do with that kind of person?"
"Get in the car, you're bothered." Lin Lin opened the car door, let Wang Meng get in the car, and he sat in the driver's seat.
"Oh, you still think I'm long-winded, let me get out of the car, I won't take your car anymore."
After Wang Meng got into the car and buckled up his seat belt, Lin Lin started the car, turned the steering wheel skillfully, and the car slid out in a fashion.
"Can you drive?" he asked.
"No." Wang Meng touched his nose, seeing Lin Lin's skillful driving posture, he was envious.
"Find a time to learn how to drive, get a driver's license, and come out to work, can you drive a car for your boss?" Lin Lin turned to look at Wang Meng and said.
Wang Meng felt that what Lin Lin said made sense. He hadn’t signed up for driving lessons before. Firstly, he had no money, and secondly, he thought it was unnecessary. But now he has changed his mind a little, “You are right, wait When I go back to school, I will sign up for a driving lesson."
Lin Lin just laughed, he just likes Wang Meng, he understands everything, and he doesn't ask so many why.
The car arrived at Zhaojiagouzi with one step on the accelerator, and the two got out of the car together.
Lin Lin went to Uncle Li first, and then went to the village head and secretary together, and got the land certificate.The land certificate stated his grandfather's name, not his.The house and the land are in the name of his grandfather, and will also belong to his uncle in the future, not his nephew.
"Thank you, the village head and the secretary, I'm sorry to trouble you."
After negotiating with the village chief and the others about building the house, Lin Lin took Wang Meng and Uncle Li and left together.
They got in the car together and left, heading for the town, this time it was just the two of them.
"What do you think now?" Wang Meng asked.
"Contact a professional construction team, and then order the building materials we need." Lin Lin has a clear goal for what he wants to do. He has never built a house before, but houses and shops in the city invite He has done renovations, so he still knows some basic things.
Lin Lin didn't plan to invite the construction teams from these nearby villages. They would definitely have no problem building a brick and tile house, but the technology to build the three-storey small building according to his design drawings is probably not enough.
If in a few years, all these things can be handed over to Wang Meng to help him.
In the past, Wang Meng worked as a contractor, so there must be many capable people under his command, but now... Lin Lin thought it was a pity.
They went to the building materials store in the town. Over the past few years, the number of people building houses has increased, and the building materials market in this area has also become active.Lin Lin chatted with the people in the store skillfully, while Wang Meng was reading the materials in the store. He was reading this, and he also went to work on the construction site during the summer vacation, so he knew a little about these things.
When meeting such two people, it is not easy for the owner of the shop to raise the price too much.
"Lin Lin?"
Suddenly hearing a voice calling him from behind, Lin Lin subconsciously turned his head and looked at the man standing outside the shop.
He looked at this big man, he looked very familiar, and recognized that he was a classmate from their previous class, but he couldn't remember the name.
Don't blame him either, it has been many years since they graduated from junior high school, and they have never seen their classmates since graduation.
"Chen Weili?" Wang Meng heard someone calling Lin Lin, looked over and saw Chen Weili, and blurted out the correct name.
In this regard, Lin Lin is really inferior to Wang Meng.
"Haha, it's me, Chen Weili. I haven't seen you for a long time. We haven't seen each other since we graduated from junior high school. Lin Lin, Wang Meng, why are you here?" Chen Weili's gaze shifted from Lin Lin to Wang Meng's body, asked.
He came in to say hello to the people in the store, and called out "Uncle Three."
"Wei Li, is this your classmate?" The man who was called third uncle asked.
"Well, yes, we are classmates in junior high school." Chen Weili said to Lin Lin and the others, "This is my shop, what do you want to buy?"
"I didn't expect this to be your store. Oh, I want to buy something, so I'll come and have a look first." Lin Lin didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, a classmate of their junior high school.
In the past, he only cared about studying, but he didn't know the classmates very well, not to mention that he came back to that year halfway, so he only got along with the classmates for a few months, and they were still in the same place. Busy with studying and making money, basically we haven't contacted for so long, he can't even remember everyone's name
"Is there anything I can do to help the ground?" Chen Weili asked.There was a small office in the store. He looked at Lin Lin and asked, "Why don't we go inside and have a drink of water, and we can chat?"
"Okay." Lin Lin nodded.
Wang Meng didn't have any objections anymore, he followed Lin Lin in.
The three went to the office inside to sit down. Chen Weili made tea and water for everyone. He said, "I didn't pass the college entrance examination, and I didn't want to go back to repeat my studies, so I didn't go to college. I came out to help my dad, so Just work in your own shop. Lin Lin and Wang Meng are still in college, right?"
In the year of their college entrance examination, he saw the news that there was a top student in the college entrance examination, and he didn't expect it to be Lin Lin. At that time, Chen Weili failed the college entrance examination, and he was still very happy for Lin Lin, a classmate.
Lin Lin nodded and said, "Still in school."
"Oh, I really envy those of you who can study. I can't do it anymore, so I don't want to waste my family's money." At that time, his grades were poor, and his father paid for him to go to high school. Chen Weili knew He is not a material for studying, so he doesn't want to spend the family's money anymore, he might as well come out early to help the family do things to earn some money.
We talked about the fact that we haven’t seen each other for five or six years since we graduated from junior high school, and asked if you have contacted the rest of your classmates.Chen Weili lives in the town, and also helps the family with business, so he has contacted some classmates, "When we come back during the Chinese New Year, let's come out and get together."
"Okay, we will contact you later." Lin Lin said.
