In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 295 A Busy March
It was March 1994.

Just before March, Yu Dawei led his second team of five to thoroughly inspect and repair all nine pieces of engineering equipment belonging to the Eighth Bureau.

Weary parts are replaced when necessary, and parts that require maintenance are disassembled, re-maintained, and then reinstalled. Every task is done meticulously.

Furthermore, the Eighth Bureau's equipment factory has heated storage facilities specifically for storing engineering equipment. Yu Dawei has really struck gold here. He can simply drive the engineering vehicles into the heated storage facilities and then disassemble them without having to brave the freezing cold outside.

Therefore, the repair work was carried out very quickly by the few people involved.

Of these nine trucks, one or two are at risk of major repairs. One is a Jiefang dump truck whose gearbox cannot engage gears, and the other is also a Jiefang dump truck with an engine overheating.

If a major overhaul is needed, the cost of various parts may exceed the contract limit of three thousand yuan.

Normally, a major overhaul could be carried out after March 1st, but the maintenance assessment period begins at the beginning of March.

Yu Dawei naturally wanted to win first place in the province, so he paid out of his own pocket to overhaul the two dump trucks. As for the parts costing more than three thousand yuan, he planned to ask Lao Chang for the money after March 1st.

By the time Manager Chang notified Yu Dawei to start work, the nine pieces of construction machinery from the Eighth Bureau had already undergone a thorough round of maintenance.

According to Yu Dawei's estimation, as long as these cars are not driven by a traitorous driver, they will definitely be fine for at least six months.

As for the advance payment for the collaboration, it arrived in the account on the morning of March 1st.

Including the maintenance costs for the two Ackerman excavators last year, the total cost is 200,000 yuan.

Yu Dawei took his passbook to the bank and first transferred the 30,000 yuan he owed Xiaobai to her. This money was what he had taken from Xiaobai last year when he didn't have enough money for a full round of mining.

Unlike his behavior in his previous life, Yu Dawei knows that one of the reasons he was disliked in his past life was because he borrowed money and didn't repay it.

Not only do her friends have a bad impression of her, but even her own younger siblings feel helpless about her.

I still remember that before my accident, I still owed my second brother 20,000 yuan.

If I didn't have the chance to repay it in my past life, I'll find a chance to do so in this life.

Now, excluding the income from Fanfan's repair shop, the total amount from car maintenance, plus the balance in his personal account, is close to 20 yuan.

Part of this 200,000 yuan is untouchable; it's a little money I'm keeping for myself to get through this difficult time. If the Eighth Bureau's engineering vehicle breaks down and I don't have the money to repair it, then I'm doomed.

However, there are some things that require spending money.

For example, we can build up the factory dormitory, ask Brother Duan to transfer the courtyard to our own name, and also rebuild the houses in Laotun.

He had promised his wife that he would tear down the old house and rebuild a new one this year, and also renovate the yard wall. Han Jingfan liked rural life, and a new house would make her more comfortable.

Moreover, there is another advantage to building this house: you can just wait for the demolition and relocation.

In his previous life, Yu Dawei lived in a house worth a thousand yuan until it collapsed, and he didn't have the money to rebuild a house on the original site.

Later, because the old man and his mother went to Hohhot to live with their second son, the old house in the backyard became empty, so Yu Dawei asked Han Jingfan to move to the backyard to live with the children.

Of course, they didn't stay there for very long in the end.

When Yu Muyu was in the third grade, Yu Dawei brought his wife and children to Qingcheng. That was when he had enough capital to make a big splash in his life for the second time. Unfortunately, in less than half a year, his career suffered another Waterloo.

At that time, Han Jingfan was already pregnant. Her parents stayed at Dasheng's and Eryan's houses for a while, but perhaps because they didn't feel comfortable there, they finally chose to return to Laotun.

Yu Dawei also took this opportunity to send his eldest son back to the countryside. At that time, he could no longer afford to pay Mu Yu's tuition fees, so he had no choice but to send the child back first.

This continued until Xiao Muyu finished fifth grade in the village, when his mother passed away from a serious illness. His grandfather suggested bringing his eldest grandson to the city to study, and the family of four was finally reunited.

But life in the city is never easy. Yu Dawei didn't even get over the shadow of his mother's death for a year.

In his past life, Yu Dawei may not have been a good husband or a very competent father, but he was definitely a very filial son.

He would borrow money to get his mother to the hospital for treatment, even though his siblings were unwilling to take care of their bedridden mother. He was willing to give up everything for this.

But in the end, he still couldn't save his elderly mother's life, and his biggest regret at that time was not having money.

Because they had no money, the old man insisted on taking his mother back to the village to recuperate, even though his fourth uncle advised against it. But because they had no money, and even more so because of the old man's stubbornness.

As a result, his mother suffered a sudden heart attack, and coupled with various other illnesses, including tuberculosis, kidney failure, cerebral thrombosis, and high fever, she eventually passed away.

Fortunately, there was still plenty of time. He had ample opportunity to earn enough capital to ensure his mother received comfortable treatment at the best hospital. After his mother passed away, the old man stayed for two years before leaving for the city where Xiaofang lived.

The old house remained empty for many years. I remember the happiest day that the old house held for everyone was probably the old man's sixtieth birthday. All five children came back with their families.

That summer, the children ate cake and drank ice water without a care in the world, while the adults sat in a corner of the landlord's yard eating watermelon and chatting about their childhood stories.

Years later, Yu Dawei returned to the old village by chance and saw that the front yard had been planted with corn. He felt a sense of desolation at that moment.

At that time, Da Feng passed away, the old man passed away, and Han Jingfan had also passed away for several years. He was like a piece of duckweed, not knowing where to go or what to do.

At that moment, he had an extremely strong idea of ​​rebuilding a house on the ground in the front yard to retire, but in the end he gave up, after all, the village was already almost empty.

Then, he missed a great opportunity—demolition and relocation!
Yes, the demolition and relocation that so many people dream of has actually landed in Yujiatun. Anyone who lives in the village and owns a house will receive a decent amount of compensation.

But Yu Dawei completely missed the opportunity.

Some might find this strange, considering there's also the land on which the houses are built; shouldn't there be some compensation? Wrong. The land on which the houses are built belongs to the state; the villagers only have the right to use the buildings on that land.

This was something Yu Dawei regretted, but fortunately he wouldn't miss it this time.

He not only wanted to build a house, but a big house, and even expand the pigsty, duck coop, chicken coop, and doghouse.

Moreover, since everything is made of bricks and cement, the empty house can be left unused for thirty or forty years without any problems.

This is something Yu Dawei absolutely has to do this year.

Besides building a house and buying a yard, he also wants to take Dafeng to the Capital Hospital this year.

Although Yu Dawei may not have enough money for surgery with his current resources, it is still necessary to have a check-up at the most advanced hospital in the capital.

After all, she is his own younger sister. If her headaches can be cured, perhaps Da Feng will have a different life.

After calculating and recalculating, I still feel like I don't have enough money.

Now Fanfan Repair Shop has added five more people. They don't need to spend money on food, drink, or anything else. In February, they worked for more than half a month. The shop earned a total of nine thousand yuan. After deducting half a month's wages, there wasn't much left.

But by March, the number of people coming to the repair shop for car repairs had increased significantly, not only from locals but also from people passing through from other places.

Based on this trend, Yu Dawei felt that Fanfan Repair Shop's daily revenue would increase further in March.

He is looking forward to it!

Construction has begun on the ninth phase of the project in Luhe Town. Yao Jinfu has arrived at the site with his excavator and started working.

Huang Man had been working with Yu Dawei on wilderness rescues for some time. In early March, his third uncle's village road construction project was launched, and the rotary excavator was put into the project in an orderly manner.

As for wilderness rescue, with the arrival of March, Yu Dawei handed the task over to Lao Ji, asking Lao Ji to assign two people specifically to be in charge of wilderness rescue work.

He immediately went to the technical school in the county town to find students who wanted to learn how to operate a road roller.

Now that the old Hitachi and the rotary excavator have started construction, Lao Chang knows that Yu Dawei has a road roller that has been reserved for a project in the oil city. What they need most now is a driver.

Axe has already helped him contact his former teacher at the technical school, and they've arranged to meet tomorrow.

While he still had some time, Yu Dawei drove home to see his child. He planned to take Xiaofang to Qingxian No. 1 Middle School on his way to the county tomorrow.

"Do you have enough money at home? If not, I'll give you some." Yu Dawei was tidying up his suitcase, which Brother Duan had bought for him and Boss Liang when they went to Dingcheng.

"It's enough. Recently, the villagers have been sending a lot of things to my parents' house: eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, pork, mutton, dog meat... they've got everything." Han Jingfan was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the front yard, mending Yu Dawei's socks that had exposed toes.

"Huh?" Yu Dawei frowned and looked up, a big question mark floating in his mind. "The New Year holidays are all over, who would still send gifts home? Is there something you need your parents' help with?"

Yu Dawei returned in the evening. After glancing at his parents and apprentice in the backyard, he took his wife and child back to the front yard.

He couldn't stop thinking about his wife. After thinking about her, he started busying himself with getting a change of clothes and didn't have time to ask about the recent situation in the backyard.

“There are some children in the village who don’t go to school. A few of them are on good terms with Eryan. Seeing that Eryan is studying, they also want to come and study every day.” Han Jingfan looked up and met her husband’s gentle gaze, smiling. “The little ones have developed a competitive spirit and all want to study hard. Dad and I discussed it and decided that we’d be herding one sheep or two sheep anyway, so we might as well let them come and study every day.”
