Chapter 1202 Cleaning up
“Crash!”
Under the probing gaze of the neighbors, Chu Heng took out the key and opened the door locks hanging on the two vermilion courtyard doors.
He glanced at the areas on the door where the paint had obviously not peeled off naturally, as well as the pit marks that seemed to have been made by someone using a heavy hammer. He frowned and said, "Remember!"< br>
An Rongyuan, the most lively man among them, quickly took out his pen and said: "Tell me what you want."
"The door needs to be replaced with a new one. It needs to be as it is. No changes are allowed!" Chu Heng said slowly, then stretched out his hand to push the door open.
“It’s so big!”
The screen wall at the door has long been smashed, so as soon as the door is opened, everything in the front yard can be seen. Xiao Ni stood in front of the door and looked at the yard. Eyes sparkling.
For her, who has lived in two rooms with a large family since she was a child, to evaluate the quality of a house, she must first decide based on the area. Therefore, this room alone has seven rooms. , and the front yard with a spacious courtyard already made her very excited.
“That’s great!”
Little Ni raised her legs with curved eyebrows and crossed the high threshold. Her eyes kept looking left and right. The more she looked, the more she liked it.
“This yard is really not small!”
“It’s bigger than my big courtyard!”
“I heard there’s a backyard! It’s easy to add another piece. Twenty rooms!”
An Rongyuan and the others were full of envy at this time. The places they lived in were not very spacious, and Fang De even lived in the same house with his two sisters.
Unlike them, Chu Heng, who was accompanying his wife, frowned slightly at this time. He had seen the simple and elegant original appearance of this courtyard. Now, looking at the courtyard that had long been changed beyond recognition, he felt dilapidated and desolate.
The screen wall is gone, the trees are cut down, the small fish pond is dry, and the doors and windows are stained everywhere.
So, he glanced at the screen wall that had disappeared without a trace, thought for a while and discussed it with his wife: "It's better to build a new screen wall later, otherwise it will be too ugly."
Xiao Ni looked back at the original position of the screen wall, and looked at the base with some traces left. It was really uncomfortable, so she pursed her lips and pondered for a while, then asked: "How much does it cost?"
She is a pragmatist, or most housewives at this time are pragmatic, so The first thing to consider when looking at something is its value and function, and you don’t care about those flashy things.
Chu Heng had already expected this. He smiled when he heard this, then looked sideways at An Rongyuan and asked: "How much does this cost?"
An Rongyuan had already received the order, as long as he When my sister-in-law asked about the price, she just said it was cheaper. She smiled and said, "Hey, how much does it cost? We brothers will get the bricks and stones by ourselves." It doesn’t cost a penny, so I’ll just ask the master to spend some. It’s only eight cents a day.”
When Xiao Ni heard this, he nodded with a smile and agreed: “That’s it. , Just do it, otherwise it will be ugly if there is a stubble on the ground."
"What pattern should I choose?" Chu Heng asked with a smile.
"Well..." Xiao Ni bit her lip and thought about it carefully, then said with some tangle: "Which one do you think is better, Baifu Tu or Songhe Yannian?"
"Let Songhe prolong life, this has a better meaning." Chu Heng said.
"That's it." Ni Yinghong said simply. She was still convinced of her husband's vision. After all, she could find such a good wife...
"Okay." Chu Heng nodded and ordered: "Choose the pattern of Songhe and Yannian. Remember to find a master with good craftsmanship, so as not to make something that looks different and makes people laugh."
"Uh-huh. , I remembered it." An Rongyuan quickly wrote it down.
Then a few people continued to walk inside, watching and discussing.
"Daughter-in-law, you see that many doors and windows are broken. How about replacing them all?" "Wouldn't this cost a lot of money? How about repairing it."
"It won't cost a lot. A few dollars, sister-in-law, we have all the wood ready-made, Cen Hao’s scrapyard has plenty of it , just pull it back and use it. Some of our carpenter brothers can do it.”
“It’s so troublesome for you.”
“It’s not troublesome. It’s idle anyway. When the time comes, just provide food to eat.”
"Then I'll trouble you guys."
"Hey, this shouldn't be done."
"Hey, by the way, wife, those tree stumps in the yard need to be dug out. What do you think is suitable for the new one?”
“Then a pomegranate tree or a jujube tree. I think other people plant this.”
“Yes.” br>
...
After a group of people walked carefully around the front yard, they discussed for a while before deciding on a repair plan, and then entered the backyard.
The backyard area is larger than the front yard, and there are more houses. There are three main rooms, two wing rooms, and three east and west wing rooms. Together, there are eleven rooms in total!
“Such an old house!”
Xiao Ni’s eyes widened, she stepped through the moon door, and with the help of Chu Heng, she walked into the east corridor, a room I looked at each house one by one, repairing what needed to be repaired and replacing what needed to be replaced.
After a while, a few people went around in a big circle and checked every room. The result was that basically all of them had to be moved.
Finally, the group of people came to the courtyard. Chu Heng rubbed his chin and looked around, saying, "Daughter-in-law, what do you think of changing the east wing into an indoor toilet? This way we don’t have to go to public toilets in the future. It's convenient to queue up at home. It just so happens that you have a big belly now and squatting is inconvenient. Let's just Just get someone who presses the toilet button and just sit down.”
At this time, there were toilets in China, and there were even factories in Shantang a few years ago, but there is less demand for this thing now. , so there are not many produced, and they are basically supplied to some special units, so ordinary people cannot get this thing.
"It would be great if we really wanted to do this."
Xiao Ni was suddenly moved, but after thinking about it carefully, he frowned and said: "But it's too troublesome to do this, isn't it? Do you have to dig a septic tank? And the toilet is not easy to install. I heard that it requires special approval.”
Chu Heng smiled slightly when he heard this, and said casually: "Hey, what kind of septic tank are you digging? Then it will be directly connected to the city sewer. As for the toilet, that is even simpler. It only takes one sentence."
"Isn't that more troublesome than digging a septic tank? Can you get through this sewer?" Ni Yinghong rolled her eyes at him.
"Yes, I can make it through!" Chu Heng raised his chin slightly in an awesome voice: "Okay, don't worry about this, just tell me whether you want to do it or not. If you want to, Just nod and I'll be responsible for the rest. "
"Let's get one." Ni Yinghong touched her belly and said. It's really troublesome for her to go to the toilet now. She doesn't even dare to squat down. If there is a toilet with a toilet at home, she will do it. Happy.
“Mark it down!”
Chu Heng turned around and ordered An Rongyuan: "As for the toilet, go back to Du San and ask him to get one. When the sewer is dug, contact the subdistrict office and ask them to cooperate."
"Okay." An Rong Yuanguai smiled and nodded.
The others also grinned, looking proud.
Others cooperate with the streets when building houses, but when it comes to me, it’s the other way around. The streets have to cooperate with us!
How many of the younger generation in Sijiucheng are there like this?
