The Chinese New Year is just two or three months away.
With the opening up of policies, many unemployed people in provincial capitals have chosen to start their own businesses.
If you have little capital, choose to start a small business or work part-time, and if you have some capital, choose to open a store.
So, as the provincial capital approaches the New Year's Eve, many shops have opened.
This includes Lin Guang's noodle shop, Lin Shu's fruit shop and trading house, as well as the opening of the logistics branch of Chen Fei and Gu Jiu's company.
To be honest, the store over there at the new house has opened. It is not convenient for Lin Shu to live in the compound villa at all, in order to move into his new home as soon as possible.
Lin Shu asked the decoration team to speed up and try to work overtime every day.
The masters of the decoration team knew that the empty rooms upstairs in the new building were to be renovated and opened as a hotel.
In order to win the decoration of the hotel, they worked hard to decorate Lin Shu's new house without any slack.
Lin Shu decorated the new house according to the decoration style of later generations. Many materials could not be found in the market, so Lin Shu bought them from the system mall.
Even some things that are beyond this era are decorated into the house. Even if someone noticed, it would be impossible to get to the bottom of their home.
"Comrade Lin, where did you buy this water pipe? This is my first time to make water pipes spliced with this kind of hot melt technology."
The person in charge of the decoration is a master named Duan , in his thirties.
He used to lay water pipes, and the large steel pipes were connected with flanges, that is, the two pipes were each fixed on a flange. Then add a flange pad between the two flanges, and finally tighten the two flanges with bolts to tightly connect them together.
With this splicing method, if the middle flange pad is damaged, you can unscrew the bolts and replace the flange pad.
Smaller water pipes use compression connections or threaded connections.
Of course, for the above connection methods, the water pipes are all made of iron pipes or steel pipes.
Lin Shu uses concealed pipes for aesthetic reasons, so he must use PPR water pipes. This kind of water pipe is environmentally friendly and will not rust.
It can be used for decades without replacement.
“I asked a friend to get the water pipes from out of town. Because the water pipes are hidden pipes, you can’t be careless when welding them. Otherwise, water leakage will cause trouble soon.”
Lin Shu tapped them and gave them another sweet date, "Also, as long as you have good skills, I can leave the decoration of the hotel upstairs to you. As you know, there are eight rooms on each floor. That’s sixteen rooms on the first floor .
Although there are not so many rooms on the third and fourth floors, there are actually 16 rooms on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors, plus the rooms on the third and fourth floors, there must be them.”
Master Duan was painting the room upstairs , he counted clearly, "Comrade Lin, there are sixty-four rooms upstairs. Forty-eight rooms on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors, and sixteen rooms on the third and fourth floors."
Lin Shu nodded, "Yes, with so many rooms, how can it be considered a It’s a big project. Besides, it’s a new technology, so there’s no harm in learning it.”
Master Duan has long been eyeing the renovation project upstairs. He and his team will take over the hotel next year. There is something to do all year long.
How could he not be elated if he could get Lin Shu to let him go?
“Yes, yes, Comrade Lin is right. We will definitely help you decorate your house. If there is anything we don’t understand, we will ask for your opinion and we will not mess around. . ”
Lin Shu felt relieved after receiving Master Duan’s assurance.
The main reason is that the decoration styles, materials and requirements are different between now and later generations.
For example, people nowadays like to leave large gaps between tiles when laying tiles.
They liked to fill the gaps with cement, and later generations preferred tight joints between tiles. Of course, except for those who are going to do beautiful sewing.
Another one is the difference in materials.
The tiles in this era were very small, while those in later generations were very large. Naturally, the quality requirements are also different when paving.
Lin Shu walked around the house, mainly to check whether their water pipes were laid according to the required lines? Are the wire conduits laid according to the reserved lines?
The locations of reserved sockets in the new house are all drawn with lines, and the route of the wire conduits is also drawn. As long as Master Duan and others don't make arbitrary changes to the route without authorization, it will be considered qualified if it is basically done.
Master Duan followed her and walked around with her, "Comrade Lin, don't worry, we will do everything according to your requirements."
Lin Shu pointed to the wire pipe and said: "Waiting for the wire pipe to be installed. Okay, when you run the wires, the wires running in the hidden pipe cannot be spliced. From entering the conduit to coming out at the other end, it must be a complete wire."
Every electrician in later generations knows this.
The reason why Lin Shu specially asked Master Duan to do it was mainly because people of this era pursue diligence and frugality. She was afraid that in order to save materials for her, Master Duan and the others would connect the cut wires one by one and reuse them.
There is nothing wrong with being frugal and frugal, and there is something right with splicing wires together. But it's not possible to use hidden wires, and open wires don't matter. If the wires are not in good contact, you can open the open wire box to check.
Master Duan originally wanted to say, wouldn’t the remaining wires be wasted?
However, thinking that I had just promised that I would do things according to her requirements, I honestly agreed, "Okay, I will do everything according to your requirements."
Duplex building, upstairs and downstairs They all had bathrooms, and before the water pipes were connected, Lin Shu asked them to waterproof them. She asked about the waterproofing.
Master Duan replied: "As you requested, I brushed it three times. Then the bathroom was filled with water and tested for seven days. There was no water seepage downstairs."
Lin Shu I'm quite satisfied with this. If you have enough time, filling it with water and testing it for half a month can reveal hidden dangers.
Just one week.
Since it is a self-built house, the project requirements are more stringent, so Master Duan and his team do not dare to be careless about the quality of the house.
The quality of the project is better than those of commercial housing.
“After the water pipes and wire pipes are buried, and there is no water seepage in the bathroom, you can put water in and start filling. Once the bathroom is leveled, you can wrap the sewer pipes in the bathroom and balcony with bricks.”
After these preparations are completed, you can tile the house.
For the floor tiles of the new house, Lin Shu bought warm-color glazed tiles from the system mall.
800 x 800 glazed ceramic tiles, the tiles on the wall are also 800 x 800 of the same color, which are divided into two and processed before being put on the wall.
The requirements are a bit high, for Master Duan and others who have never done this kind of decoration. As long as the speed is slower, I believe it can be done well.
Master Duan and the others renovated Lin Shu's house, and even the tools were provided by Lin Shu.
For example, the hot-melt machine for hot-melt water pipes, the cutting machine for laying ceramic tiles, the balancer, and the water drilling machine for drilling holes in the wall are all provided by Lin Shu for free.
When decorating a new house, the kitchen, bathroom and each room must be pre-drilled.
For Master Duan’s team, the higher Lin Shu’s requirements, the more skills they learned.
Lin Shu returned home from the new house construction site, but Gu Jiu had not returned from the company yet.
She held Dabao in her arms and talked to him about things at the construction site, "Master Duan and the others have done the water pipes, pipes and reserved holes according to your requirements. What other aspects of the preliminary project are there? Need to add something?”
“You did a good job and arranged things in an orderly manner. I have nothing to add.”
Dabao took out his mobile phone and typed out what he wanted to say.
Before laying floor tiles, waterproof the drainage pipes, water supply pipes, wiring pipes and toilets, and wrap the drainage pipes. This basically completes the preliminary work.
The next step is to lay ceramic tiles, do carpentry, and scrape the floor.
Lin Shu thinks that Dabao's taste is better than hers, and the decoration of the new house is basically done according to Dabao's requirements. For example, the selection of ceramic tiles, wardrobes, and board colors are all purchased in the system mall according to Dabao's requirements.
And Lin Shu is just Dabao's microphone.
For example, the house with three bedrooms and two living rooms in the previous life, and the villa later, were all decorated in the style chosen by Dabao.
When Gu Jiu came back from the company, the sun had already set.
When I walked into the courtyard, I found that the guard in the security room at the gate covered his face and did not dare to look up at him.
The uncle avoided him, but Gu Jiu wanted to surround him and look at him, "Hey! Uncle, what happened to your face? Did your wife scratch you again?"
"Little bastard, what are you talking nonsense! My wife is very kind to me!" The uncle retorted loudly. At the same time, he was most afraid of others knowing that he was afraid of his wife.
It is most embarrassing for the uncle to have a weak husband.
“It wasn’t scratched by my wife?” Gu Jiu pretended to hesitate and asked, “Could it be scratched by a wild cat?”
“Go, go, where did the wild cat come from? Go back quickly. Hug your twins." The uncle drove him away with disgust. He wished he hadn't seen this annoying brat today.
It’s so annoying!
Gu Jiu seemed to have spied some secret of the uncle and couldn't help laughing.
The uncle laughed so hard that he almost became angry. Before he got angry, Gu Jiu looked like he wanted to be beaten. He approached the uncle and asked: "Uncle, tell me honestly, what did you do last night?" I want your wife to treat you He moved his hands up and down without even sparing his face?"
"You're talking nonsense again, little bastard! I'm going to beat you up all over the place!"
As he said this, he looked around. Hand tool for beating people.
Why did Gu Jiu stand there waiting for him to beat him? With one kick, the bicycle flew far away.
"Brother Ninth!"
Zhou Xinyue saw Gu Jiu talking to the doorman from a distance. When he passed by the door of his house, he hurriedly called to stop him.
Gu Jiu tapped his foot on the ground, turned his head and looked at her, frowning slightly: "Is something wrong?"
The weather today is good, sunny and cloudless.
Gu Jiu rode all the way back and took off his outer suit because of the heat.
Inside was a black shirt that Lin Shu made for him.
The shirts made by Lin Shu are different from the shirts of this era. The shirts made by Lin Shu are more slim-fitting.
Gu Jiu wore it just enough to cover his solid muscles, plus his long legs. Black clothes and black pants covered his energetic body.
Such a masculine side will be a sure thing in later generations, not to mention this era, it is indeed a great temptation for women.
Zhou Xinyue walked over with a smile, "I came back so late. I heard that you recently opened a logistics company with Chen Fei and the others?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "You are quite well-informed, yes. Is there anything else? If nothing happens, I will go home."
Zhou Xinyue also heard the impatience in his tone.
However, he still kept a smile on his face, "If I have goods to consign, for the sake of us growing up together, can you give me a discount?"
Gu Jiu I don't believe that she, who is tired from working, has any goods to consign.
“There is a dedicated person in charge of this matter. According to our company’s regulations, there are no exceptions for relatives of partners. If you use the company’s logistics, you will still be charged. There are no exceptions!”
So, which onion are you?
The smile on Zhou Xinyue’s face was almost unbearable, “Since you are so selfless, you shouldn’t open a company, you should go to the inspection team!”
“Thank you for the compliment, I’m hungry and can’t wait to get back. I won’t accompany you to dinner at home. Goodbye!”
After Gu Jiu said that, he kicked his long legs lightly and the bicycle slipped away smoothly.
Zhou Xinyue looked at the strong back going away and stamped her feet angrily.
Gu Jiu returned home, greeted everyone in the living room, and went up to the second floor.
The children were all asleep, and Lin Shu was working on the sewing machine, preparing to help the children make some pocket clothes.
As the weather gets colder, the children wear thin cotton clothes. If you don't wear a pocket coat, cotton clothes will get dirty easily.
Cotton clothes are washed too frequently in cold weather and are not easy to dry. Therefore, people of this era like to wear jackets over cotton-padded clothes.
And Lin Shu wanted to help them make some doudou jackets to wear on top of their cotton-padded clothes, so they could eat, drink, and crawl on the ground without fear of getting dirty.
Just change your blouse when it gets dirty.
As soon as Gu Jiu entered the room, he hugged Lin Shu and took a bite. After that, he wanted to take a bite of the two children.
Seeing this, Lin Shu quickly reminded him, "They have just fallen asleep, don't disturb them. Are you worried about not shaving your beard?"
Gu Jiu once reminded him, use He touched his chin with his hand, turned around and said with a smile: "I don't think it hurts much. Why don't they like me kissing them?"
"Their skin is very tender, yours is rough. How can I compare with you?”
"Daughter-in-law, I find that you have begun to dislike me recently." Gu Jiu looked aggrieved.
Actually, I have doubts in my heart. It seems that after he came back from the north, his wife's enthusiasm for him has waned.
He thought about it and couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.
While in the north, except for buying dried fruits, he never talked to any lesbians.
He has already maintained his integrity, so why is his wife dissatisfied with him?
Lin Shu rolled her eyes at him, completely unaffected by his aggrieved look, "It's not important that I don't dislike you. What's important is that there are lesbians outside who care about you, and you won't have any free time."
When Gu Jiu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He felt a little guilty for no reason. What was going on?
“Have you seen it all?”
Gu Jiu felt a little wronged, “I didn’t take the initiative to talk to her, it was she who blocked me on my way home. I didn’t say anything. The sentence slipped away, you can't be cold because of this kind of thing Wait for me!"
In response to Gu Jiu's protest, Lin Shu put away the unmade Doudou clothes, stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time to eat next, let's take advantage of the children's sleep. Let’s go down to eat first.”
As for Zhou Xinyue who was blocking the road, to be honest, Lin Shu didn't pay much attention to it.
Whether it was in the previous life or in this life, she should have no chance.
I learned from Dabao in my previous life that Gu Jiu had never been married.
If Zhou Xinyue had a chance in this life, she would have become Gu Jiu's wife long ago. He couldn't wait until she got together with him later.
"Daughter-in-law, I was wrong. Next time I look at her, I will walk around. Even if she calls me, I will pretend not to hear her."
Gu Jiu put his arm around Lin Shu's shoulders, and walked downstairs while promising with a playful smile. (End of this chapter)
