Chapter 33

Han Qingyun: "third brother."

The third brother has the courage to build a new house. He can talk about it casually. He deserves to be a man who can fight against the enemy, who can sew the quilt and hurt his daughter-in-law!

Han Qingyun is not surprised. At this time, building a house in the countryside is more important than marrying a daughter-in-law and having a son. It is the most difficult thing for rural families.

To marry a daughter-in-law is nothing more than to age, save hundreds of Jin of grain, a hook of cloth, a few household items, a strip of meat, or even to live without so much. Anyway, as long as a man is good and has the strength, no matter how poor he is, he can always get a daughter-in-law. When you marry a daughter-in-law, you don't worry about having a son.

But houses don't work.

To build a house, we need wood, sorghum straw, adobe, stone, wheat straw, grain, manpower and so on.

Even if you only need to pay for two groups of big workers, the bricklayer and the carpenter, and all the small workers are led by the team leader, the materials are actually prepared by yourself.

It takes a lot of wood to build a house. It's used for beams and purlins. Trees don't grow all at once. Ordinary members have no money and no place to buy them. Basically, it's dry saving. It's good to save them for more than ten years.

In addition, even if the rafters are not made of wood, they have to be replaced by sorghum straw, which is a cheap material.

Work points are used to exchange food for food. If the family is not full, how can there be so many materials to exchange?

Although the small workers can help the village and do not eat, the big workers and the strong workers who build walls and beams have to eat a few meals.

Imagine if you are not satisfied with your food, where can you manage your food?

Either way is enough for the members to worry.

If you build three rooms, it's even more terrible. It's really handed down from the ancestors, and then a generation mends it up. When life is good, you can build one and a half rooms for your son to marry his daughter-in-law.

If you can build a new one, it costs about a hundred yuan. If it's brick and tile, it's more natural.

A hundred yuan. How many yuan can countrymen save now when they are so busy in a year?

Besides, who doesn't get sick? Getting married, having children, funerals and human relations all cost money.

If you get married, your family's savings for more than ten years will be emptied. If you are buried, it will be emptied again for more than ten years. If you have something else, you can't save anything except mouse hole.

Even if I have been a branch secretary for nearly 20 years, I can't easily say how many years I have to save to build a house.

The elder brother and the second brother of his family have not been separated. He still lives in the same room with his parents now. It's a matter of getting married in the future.

Now those who apply for homestead in the village have been saving for more than ten or twenty years, and they can't stand having to build houses and separate families.

Han Qingsong is really the first one who says he wants to build a house so easily. Han Qingyun has to pay homage to him.

Han Qingsong doesn't think about it. He's not at home all the year round and doesn't understand the market in the village. He always does it when he has orders in the army. The more difficult he is, the more he gnaws, and no one will retreat.

Besides, the army has a lot of people and great strength. They are all strong young men. If there is something wrong, it's really effortless.

Han Qingsong didn't think that it would be hard to do anything. He would do it if he needed to. If he couldn't do it, he would find a way. He could always do it.

The idea of building a house set him on the move.

Building a house is not a matter of one's own. First, you have to apply with the brigade for homestead, report and reserve materials for building a house, such as wood, sorghum straw, adobe, etc., and also apply for slivers to buy Bricks and tiles.

People in the village don't think about bricks and tiles when they build houses. One is that they are too expensive to afford, and the other is that they can't find a relationship to approve.

Even if you don't use bricks and tiles, other wood and sorghum straw are not so easy to put together.

Now it's all collective farming, and each family's private land is divided into one or two parts by production teams.

Not to mention that wood is difficult to save, even sorghum straw is difficult.

Local roofs must be bundled with sorghum stalks, covered with beams, and then covered with yellow mud, thatch or wheat straw. The role of this sorghum straw is equivalent to rafters. There is not so much wood to replace it. After all, the cost of sorghum straw is much lower than that of wood.

But even so, it's not so easy for a production team with so many families to save on its own.

Han Qingsong thinks that since he wants to build a house, he will build bricks and tiles. The earth house is easy to collapse in rainstorm, which is not safe. Moreover, he has to repair it several times a year, which costs labor and material, and is helpless.

Han Qingsong went to find Han Yongfang, "uncle, I want to queue up to apply for homestead to build a house."

Han Yongfang laughed and took out the schematic diagram of the village homestead. "You see, you can choose where you like?"

Han Qingsong looked at him in surprise, "don't you line up?" He asked, at least until the next year.

Although it's not easy to build a house, many families have more than a dozen people crowded into three cabins. Some of them can't afford to live in other people's houses, while others can't afford to live in grass sheds. Almost every household needs to build a house, but there is no money, food or material for the time being.

Han Yongfang shook his head, "no, I have already applied for you."

Han Yongfang has been thinking about Han Qingsong's job transfer for a long time.

In fact, in the past, the old Han family could apply for homestead to build a house. After all, when Han Qingsong sent money back, the old lady was not short of money. It's just the old lady's habitual thinking as a feudal patriarch. She doesn't want to separate her family. After that, her son and daughter-in-law live separately. Who cares about her? No matter where she is, the whole family revolves around her?

Many families are not separated. One is that they are too poor to be separated. The other is that the old people are afraid of loneliness and abandonment. They don't like to be lonely. So they have to live with their children and grandchildren until their parents or father dies.

Han Yongfang considers that when Han Qingsong returns from his job transfer, the relationship between registered permanent residence and grain and oil is not the same as that of other people, which is slightly complicated. For example, when other people change their jobs, they should follow the principle of proximity, where to go back and forth, and where to return their registered permanent residence to their own village.

Han Qingsong's registered permanent residence didn't come back, but he was in the county, but his relationship with grain and oil went back to the commune.

He can get a total of three salaries from the county and the commune, and two benefits from the county and the commune. For example, the general staff of the food stamp agency can get 30 jin a month. Now, with better conditions, some cadres can get 36 Jin.

Han Qingsong, however, has 44 Jin, which is taken according to the standard of heavy physical workers. This Jin refers to edible flour, rather than wheat, corn and other unprocessed grain directly harvested in the countryside.

The 44 kilos contain edible oil. One kilo of food stamps contains three or two kilos of oil. It's not a simple food coupon that countrymen exchange for food.

Han Yongfang didn't accept the other cloth tickets and cotton tickets, so he didn't know, but he guessed that they must be double or according to the high standard.

For example, if someone's cloth is ten feet a year, he may be at least five feet a year.

If someone else has two Jin of cotton, he may have three jin.

For such good conditions, you have to write an application for building materials. You have to find a way to save or buy wood. You can apply for sorghum straw, wheat straw and adobe in the brigade.

At the hottest time of summer, the production team and the production team will lead the members to smash the adobe, dry it and pile it up. In addition to the use of the production team and the production team, it is for the members.

There is no secret in the village. The Lin Lan family's application for homestead to build a house soon spread all over the village.

When I got off work at noon, someone ran to the brigade and said, "our homestead has been applied for a year. Why hasn't it been approved yet? They just applied. Why did they apply? "

Yu cunzi and Liu Chunfang's mother-in-law have also applied, but they haven't approved them all the time. At this moment, they say that Yu cunzi immediately takes advantage of the problem.

She resents Han Qingsong for not putting her son back. She has been running around these two days. Now she hears that the Lin Lan family is going to build a house, and she is the first to jump out of the next life.

Han Yongfang said, "stop working for me. Don't look for trouble. Cotton back? Two days later, I'll break the sticks, and I'll get everything ready? "

"Branch secretary, why does she approve as soon as she applies? We don't approve for two years? " Yu chuzi was angry and thought he had grasped the handle. "Don't be an official."

"Go away!" Without waiting for her to finish, Han Yongfang scolded: "dogs can't spit out ivory. Why don't you think about it all day long? What a good child I was when I was a child. Didn't you teach me to be blind? "

Long march is Liu Chun and Xiaoming.

He threw out a stack of applications, "I'll take them out. Can you understand them? Have a good look. Han Qingsong applied six years ago, and now he's granted it. What are you two years

The captain came to testify immediately.

A few years ago, when Han Qingsong was promoted, the brigade thought that Han Yongchang would come to apply. Han Yongfang wrote a list, but he didn't come, so he put it on hold.

Now Lin Lan came to apply and took it out directly.

All of a sudden, the members of the troublemaker immediately had no opinion, and Yu chuzi was also scolded to the dust.

Han Yongfang continued to scold: "it's good to be positive when doing work."

……

On his first day at work, Han Qingsong first met his colleagues in the commune office compound, and then went back to the office to learn about his own affairs.

As he said before, it's basically nothing now. A few colleagues are idle all day.

The most important case at the moment is the verdict of Zhao Jianshe's four people, and Han Qinghua was transferred from the county to the commune for punishment.

In accordance with the previous regulations, it was necessary to hold a general meeting to criticize and fight, to travel the streets, and then to send them to work on the reform through labor farm.

Sun Zhuowen and Huang Weizhong are in charge of the office. When there is no director, they preside over the work.

Originally, sun Zhuowen felt that the former director had been removed. He went to the county to have an activity. It was his turn. He was ready to offer wine to celebrate his appointment as the director of the Bureau, but suddenly a mud legged soldier came down from the top and made him vomit blood.

Sun Zhuowen has inquired about Han Qingsong and has a general understanding.

He put the verdict on the table for Han Qingsong to sign and Huang Weizhong to make tea.

Han Qingsong looked at it, and the writing was very elegant. He went around and looked at it as a trick of a scholar.

He slightly frowned, light way: "too around, to be simple and direct."

Sun Zhuowen's eyes are more and more contemptuous. He thinks that Han Qingsong has never been to school, has no culture, and can't read much. He is not as literate as the former director, and pays attention to the choice of words and sentences.

Han Qingsong took another look at the tea, "is this the welfare of the public security bureau?"

At this time, tea is a high-grade product, and ordinary members can't drink it. If small cadres want to drink it, they buy some tea foam.

Look, the tea is not bad.

Sun Zhuowen did not hide his arrogance, "Han Bureau, this is the director's welfare, routine."

It's really a bumpkin. I guess I haven't tasted tea in my life.

Han Qingsong frowned, "free."

It's no wonder that people say that grassroots cadres are very corrupt. Therefore, the rural areas should launch the "four clean ups" campaign to check the accounts, and let the members report the corruption of the commune and brigade cadres, and go to the countryside to engage in another set of activities.

Huang Weizhong, however, felt that it was not easy to fool the uneducated director, indicating that sun Zhuowen should be restrained.

Sun Zhuowen was not afraid. He had someone on top of it, and the Secretary of the water department was a subordinate to the Public Security Bureau and the militia. But they has the final say.

Director, ha ha, it's just a decoration. Just say it.

Han Qingsong asked about the usual punishment for such thieves.

Sun Zhuowen said, "if you criticize and fight, you will be sentenced to a few years' imprisonment and be sent to the reform through labor farm."

Han Qingsong saw that there was no Zhao Jianshe's name on it, but only three. He pointed out: "what's the matter?"

Sun Zhuowen immediately put on a look like a wolf with a big tail. There was no Zhao Jianshe or Han Qinghua on it. He said, "Han Bureau, county... You know."

Han Qingsong looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "what? I don't understand

Sun Zhuowen was a little embarrassed. He secretly scolded you for being so stubborn and pretending to be inferior to me?

Huang Weizhong immediately said: "Han Bureau, the county said hello."

Han Qingsong: "clear that Zhao Jianshe was acquitted?"

Huang Weizhong said with a smile: "that's not true. Han Bureau caught it in person. How could he not be innocent."

Sun Zhuowen doesn't like Han Qingsong's muddy legs. He's really not like the prince in his Dragon Robe. It's good for you to shut down Zhao Jianshe. If you fight, you'll be hungry.

Han Qingsong said: "he is the mastermind, according to the regulations at least five years."

If it was a chaotic time before, it would be him for ten years.

Sun Zhuowen's face changed, and he could not help sneering: "Han Ju, you don't have to hold on like that, then Han Qinghua..."

"Han Qinghua read reactionary books privately, and the books came from Zhao Jianshe. Zhao Jianshe takes people to break into the house in the middle of the night to steal. The news comes from Han Qinghua. These two... "

Sun Zhuowen can't help picking eyebrows. If you judge Zhao Jianshe but not your brother, you have to say. If you sentence your brother, it's heartless!

At this time, what the legal system is, and the Committee has the final say, for the bad elements of the commune, the commune can punish itself if it does not require the application of the county's application. Even a few years ago, when many people were killed, they did not need to apply with the county. If they died, they would die in vain. There is no saying.

Sending Han Qinghua back in the county is a face to Han Qingsong.

At this time, the chairman of the commune Committee said no matter what the Public Security Bureau was doing, Han Qingsong has the final say.

Han Qingsong face does not change, "all five years, sent to Shanshui farm."

Shanshui farm is located in the most remote gully of the commune. It is guarded by soldiers, so it is difficult to escape.

In addition to daily farming, prisoners there are also transferred to repair canals and roads. Of course, there is no shortage of meeting, criticism and education. Because they are guarded by regular units, they are not prone to violent acts as they are in the countryside, and their life safety is guaranteed.

That's where we go to reform through labor. Those who are lazy and greedy are most suitable.

This kind of reform through labor farm is very different from the prisons before and after, because many of them are so-called political prisoners and intellectuals. The common people do not discriminate against them. They only participate in labor, study, education, etc. in the local reform through labor, and they can also study, get married.

Hearing Han Qingsong say so, sun Zhuowen widened his eyes and looked at Han Qingsong like a psycho.

My own brother!

When someone committed a crime, he took the initiative to plead for mercy. He was so kind that he wanted to take the initiative to send his brother to reform through labor.

Isn't this a psycho?

Don't be a soldier. Are you stupid?

I really don't know anything about the world. It's bad for me to be such a director!

But he is also secretly happy. You can die. If you don't give it to the county, don't blame me for not reminding you. In the future, people will take care of you. You can bear it yourself. Don't disturb us.

Han Qingsong looked up at them, "what's wrong?"

Huang Weizhong quickly said: "the Han bureau is right. According to the regulations, it has to be judged like this."

The other lowest dwarfs are three years old, while Liu Chunhe and skinny are four years old.

Han Qingsong raised his eyebrow and pointed to Liu Chunhe, "this is more hateful, just like Zhao Jianshe."

It is said that the crime of leading a wolf into a house is more serious.

Huang Weizhong answered quickly, took the document back to change, but sun Zhuowen turned his mouth to his ear.

They went back to their seats in an office. Huang Weizhong and sun Zhuowen exchanged glances to let him not be impulsive.

After a while, they took the document to Han Qingsong for signature.

Han Qingsong signed, "what's the ticket number of our office?"

Huang Weizhong said: "Han Bureau, this is Zhao Changfa, the Logistics Department of the Revolutionary Committee. Generally, at the end of the month, they issue the next month's food tickets, meat tickets, non-staple food tickets, cloth tickets and cotton tickets at the end of the year. In addition, some temporary tickets are issued at different times."

That's two days away.

Han Qingsong nodded, "if you buy Bricks and tiles, wood, who do you want to buy?"

Seeing sun Zhuowen's bad face, Huang Weizhong said quickly, "it's OK to find the director of the Revolutionary Committee and the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. Of course, it's more convenient to know the director of the brick kiln factory."

Sun Zhuowen couldn't help choking: "Yo, as soon as the Han bureau changes its business, it's going to build a house. The transfer fee is very high."

Who doesn't know that this kind of rural soldier is not popular, the transfer fee is low, and the brick houses are built? What a show! You can pretend!

Han Qingsong said, "it's not high, so I built three brick houses."

Of course, more than three rooms will be built with 1000 yuan. At this time, a small courtyard will be enough.

When sun Zhuowen heard this, he immediately became jealous. They all lived in the dormitory of the commune, which was only one and a half rooms or two rooms. The whole family was crowded inside, not to mention holding back. I don't feel comfortable living, so those who live near our commune will go home and live in dormitories.

Sun Zhuowen happened to be from Lin commune. He had to live here because he was too far away from home. His registered permanent residence was not local, and he was not allowed to build his own house, so he had to live in the dormitory.

"Han Ju's big hand is really enviable."

Han Qingsong got up and packed up, "don't be envious. If you go to be a soldier, you will be more powerful than me."

Then he walked to the supply and marketing cooperative with his bag.

Sun Zhuowen was so angry that he patted the table, "god horse thing, you see how proud he is, he doesn't pay attention to us at all. A mud leg from the countryside is really the chief of his own bureau! "

Huang Weizhong advised him to be restrained and not to meet with the new director. "Besides, the company commander has changed his career."

He guessed that Han Qingsong should have paid a transfer fee. At this time, it was just right to build a house. If he didn't build it, there would be no money left in a few years. Moreover, if it is built in a few years' time, people will have to gossip about whether the director of the Public Security Bureau has the money to build a house only when he gets the benefits.

Han Qingsong first went to find the director of the Revolutionary Committee, but as soon as he went out, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Unfortunately, director Qian went to the county supply and marketing cooperative.

Han Qingsong went to the slaughter group first.

When he went out in the morning, Lin lansai gave him five yuan and asked him to carry it. He said that a man had to carry the money, so he took two yuan and gave him the rest of the land. He doesn't have a meat ticket at the moment, so he wants to buy some pigs to go back into the water without a ticket.

Han Qingsong is still dressed in military uniform, tall and upright and capable. The momentum of his whole body is not comparable to that of sun Zhuowen's militia cadres. As soon as he goes in, it arouses everyone's idea.

The group leader will look at Han Qingsong's face, but he is tall and cold in military uniform. He is the new chief of public security.

He immediately came forward to entertain, listen to Han Qingsong said to buy some tickets without the water.

He said with a smile: "Oh, it's not a coincidence that you came here. Today, you killed a pig, and the water was taken away by the canteen of the Revolutionary Committee." He saw Han Qingsong's face as usual, and he was about to leave without asking much. He immediately said, "but it's a coincidence that there are still a few Jin of meat and bones left."

Han Qingsong: "I want to issue meat tickets in two days. I'll pay for meat today and send tickets in two days."

The group leader said with a smile, "yes, please don't forget."

Han Qingsong estimated that he should have half a catty of meat a month, so he said to cut half a catty, and asked how to sell bones.

Bones don't need tickets, and they're not expensive, but they're basically digested internally, so they're not so easy to buy.

Besides, bones have no meat and no oil, and it costs firewood to cook them. Unless the production team kills pigs and buys meat sporadically, most people don't want it.

The group leader said, "when you buy meat, you can sell it with a barrel bone."

Naturally, the price is not expensive.

Han Qingsong pays for half a catty of meat ticket.

When the group leader cut the meat, he picked the fat pork, tied it with a straw rope and handed it to Han Qingsong.

Han Qingsong looked, "is there a newspaper?"

The group leader thought that he was afraid of carrying the meat with a look of understanding, so he asked someone to take a piece of oil paper and wrap it up and give it to Han Qingsong.

Han Qingsong said in his heart that only in this way can he not lose his ashes.

The group leader looked at Han Qingsong's back and muttered, "can you understand what we mean?"

When Han Qingsong bought the water, he said that he would let the other party down if he didn't have it. Then he said that he still had some meat. He didn't have to sell it to him first. Most people appreciate it when they know they sell well.

I don't know if the new director, who looks serious and old-fashioned, can understand it?

Han Qingsong carries the meat back to the Public Security Bureau Office of the Revolutionary Committee compound. He looks at the sky and thinks about it. After lunch, he goes home to eat together, so he is not in a hurry.

Sun Zhuowen saw that he was carrying something, and immediately smelled a strong smell of raw meat. He said, "Oh, Han Ju, I went to buy meat for dinner. I'm so sorry."

Han Qingsong did not look at him, light way: "you misunderstand, this is to buy home to improve life."
