Chapter 141: Building a house for my father-in-law and mother-in-law (please subscribe)
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
"You've been tossing and turning for more than an hour. Are you worried about something?"
Xu Ye walked to Jiang Ruyue's bed and asked softly.
"Why aren't you asleep yet, where is An An?" Jiang Ruyue sat up and looked into Xu Ye's bright eyes through the moonlight that leaked into the room.
"I was getting ready to take a rest. I came out to drink some water. I saw you were driving, so I came over to take a look." Xu Ye explained.
"It's okay, I'm just very interested in wood art and want to learn it. However, I'm worried that you won't like me doing this." Jiang Ruyue explained.
She remembered telling her that two people should be honest when getting along and not keep everything in their hearts.
Xu Ye couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Jiang Ruyue say that she was interested in wood art.
"How could I not like it?"
"As long as you like something, just do it boldly and I will support it."
In later generations, there is a blogger Li Ziqi that Xu Ye particularly likes. She knows everything.
I can make clothes, carpentry, bricklaying, make various things, and also have intangible cultural heritage crafts.
Maybe, Jiang Ruyue will become such a person?
Xu Ye couldn't help but hold Jiang Ruyue's hands and said with joy in his eyes: "It's a good thing to have your own interests. If you don't have one in your life, wouldn't it be boring?"
"Nothing should be divided into men and women. It has nothing to do with gender. Only after you try it will you know whether it suits you or not."
Hearing Xu Ye's words, Jiang Ruyue couldn't help but nodded and showed a happy smile.
"Then I can fall asleep. You should also go to bed quickly. You have to teach them tomorrow." After saying that, Jiang Ruyue lay back down again.
"But I can't sleep now, sister, please help me relax and relax." After saying that, Xu Ye refused to leave.
Not only did she not leave, she went directly to bed and lay down next to Jiang Ruyue.
"An'an knows I'm coming, so she will go to sleep first." Seeing Jiang Ruyue's hesitation, Xu Ye gave her reassurance.
"Okay, then you lie down and go back to sleep as soon as possible after pressing." Jiang Ruyue stepped on Xu Ye's body and helped him press up.
"It's so comfortable. You have to be the most comfortable massager." Xu Ye said very comfortably.
He didn't know how long he felt comfortable. Anyway, Jiang Ruo'an was already asleep when he went back.
After Xu Ye went to bed, he hugged her and continued to sleep.
After a good night's sleep, Xu Ye got up early the next day.
After all, he had to teach today, so Xu Ye couldn't sleep in.
The smell was all over his body. Xu Ye took a shower after getting up.
After breakfast, Xu Ye trained the hound and the eagle for a while.
After finishing this, the students from Shangxi Village came over.
"Xu Ye, aren't you surprised to see me?" Gu Yun waved her hand at Xu Ye.
Xu Ye found that Lu Ming did not come, and the person leading the team seemed to be Gu Yun.
Xu Ye smiled at Gu Yun, and then said: "Let me guess, you are no longer an ordinary young man, but an important member of the construction team?"
Gu Yun suddenly became surprised and asked quickly: "How did you know?"
"Obviously, they look at you with respect." Xu Ye said with a smile.
"Hey, I am now the temporary accountant of Shangxi Construction Team, and I will work with you in the future."
"Comrade Xu Ye, from now on we will advance and retreat together." After saying that, Gu Yun stretched out her hand seriously.
"Okay, Comrade Gu Yun, let's fight together from now on." Xu Ye held Gu Yun's calloused hand and said with a smile.
Lu Ming and the others are still very thieves. Although they did give themselves the title of deputy captain, there is currently no other captain in the construction team, just him.
Just say whether they are satisfied or not?
Moreover, he also arranged Gu Yun to be by his side.
As a result, Xu Ye could no longer do anything.
Then, Xu Ye asked the students to move the bricks they brought to an open space near his mother-in-law's house.
He first taught here to explain how to build a wood-saving stove.
They took notes and recorded them carefully.
The students also had a general understanding of the structure of the firewood-saving stove, and then Xu Ye took them to Fan Dajun's home.
Here, what needs to be demonstrated is the problems that will be encountered when building a fire-saving stove based on the actual situation, and how to build it.
For example, what tools are needed to cut a wall and how to cut it also need to be taught.
So when he arrived at Fan Dajun's house, he first taught everyone how to cut windows, and then asked them to take turns.
Soon, a large window was cut open.
After digging, he started building the wood-saving stove and explained it a second time.
When some students raised doubts, he answered them immediately.
Xu Ye didn't let them do anything, he just let them watch and explained to them.
In this way, it doesn't count as breaking the agreement between him and Lin Feng'er, it was all done by him himself.
Lin Feng'er didn't have any objections to this. She also followed the class for a while and felt the charm of Xu Ye's lecture.
In half a day's work, Xu Ye built the firewood-saving stove that Lin Feng'er needed.
Of course, the surface also needs to be scraped with cement mortar or white cement.
Specifically, it depends on Lin Feng'er's preferences and needs. After finishing it, Xu Ye took the students to the brigade headquarters for lunch.
The Sanxi Brigade will be responsible for lunch for the students today. Fan Dajun and Yang Zongming made full preparations for their lunch last night.
Fan Dajun and Yang Zongming both felt that it was reasonable for Xu Ye to choose a group to teach for one day, and both sides were taken care of.
After lunch, after a short rest, Xu Ye led the students to the large open space opposite his mother-in-law's house again, and asked the students to build firewood-saving stoves in pairs.
Qin Jiao found out and brought her twins to join in the fun.
After what happened with the poisonous bee, Qin Jiao no longer dared to enter the mountain easily.
When the two cute babies saw Xu Ye, they were very happy and rushed up to Xu Ye to hug him.
Xu Ye hugged her for a while before handing it over to his mother-in-law.
Xu Ye selected 20 of them that were better built and included them in his assessment.
Because he needs to choose ten to learn woodcraft, he naturally needs to have a particularly good mind and dexterous hands.
Overall, these students are pretty good.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
I just watched it all morning, and most of them remembered how to build a fire-saving stove.
Xu Ye pointed out the mistakes of some students one by one and explained the key points to them.
Time flies so fast, and the day's teaching is over again.
Gu Yun had no plans to go back tonight. She planned to ride Xu Ye's bicycle back to Shangxi Village tomorrow morning.
She is the accountant of the construction team. Today, the people in the construction team have to record how much they spend on meals.
So when Xu Ye took Jiang Ruo'an and Jiang Ruyue to lay the floor at night, there was another Gu Yun.
Fortunately, Gu Yun did not ask to sleep with Jiang Ruo'an tonight.
Otherwise, Xu Ye would have to accompany him by himself again.
However, he couldn't go to Jiang Ruyue for a massage in the middle of the night, it was still a bit inconvenient.
In the following days, Xu Ye took turns teaching in Shangxi Village and Sanxi Village during the day, and took Jiang Ruo'an and the three of them to lay the floor at night.
Over the course of eight days, Xu Ye imparted basic architectural knowledge to the students.
On the last day, all the students were asked to apply white plaster at home and let them practice smoothing and scraping the white plaster.
Because there were so many students, all the earthen walls inside the Li family's house, as well as the inside and outside walls, were painted with white lime in one day.
Although white lime cannot be compared with the putty powder of later generations, it is already a good whitening material in this era.
In one day, Li's house took on a new look, which was a little out of place with the surrounding houses.
Xu Ye is also very satisfied with the results of his students.
Among these students, Xu Ye also selected 12 students with woodcraft talents and taught them some entry-level benefits of woodcraft.
Now, the first floor of the Li family has been completely covered with floors.
After all, there are 12 apprentices working together. Even if they only work for three hours every night, it is completely enough.
Regarding the big changes in the Li family, Lu Ming and Chen Chuanhe, who came here specially today, saw their eyes brightening.
"Xu Ye, this house must be repaired like this!"
"White walls, wooden floors, kitchen with cement hardened floor, clean and hygienic cement bathroom and toilet."
"It's so comfortable. I didn't want to leave after I came in." Lu Ming said with envy.
"Comfortable is comfortable, but it also costs money. Most people really can't afford to renovate a house like this." Chen Chuanhe couldn't help but say.
Although he wanted to remodel his home like this after seeing it, he simply couldn't afford the money.
Not to mention the materials, the master's wages alone cost a lot.
Xu Ye didn't have to pay for his work, that's because the people who contributed the effort were his students, and it was for teaching.
Thinking of teaching, Chen Chuanhe felt that Xu Ye might be teaching until today.
So, he asked: "Xu Ye, will your teaching end today? Starting tomorrow, the construction team will go out to pick up jobs?"
To be honest, this time far exceeded Chen Chuanhe's expectations.
Originally, he thought it would take at least a month of teaching before these students could graduate.
But now it seems that Xu Ye has finished teaching.
"Not yet, I will take them to build a bungalow tomorrow."
“They don’t graduate until the bungalow is built.”
"So, I want to borrow some money and materials from the Shangxi Brigade to build a house." Xu Ye told Lu Ming and Chen Chuanhe the purpose.
In addition to calling them here today to see the results of these eight days, another important point is to build a small western-style building to give all students a model.
For this reason, Xu Ye also asked Jiang Ruo'an and Jiang Ruyue to ride to the county seat to find Jiang Youshou and the others to come back and participate together.
Only by personally participating in building a foreign-style building can they know all the processes involved in building a house.
Only in this way can we be competitive.
"Okay, we can use all the money in the account to build a house for you, not counting what you borrowed. You are doing this for teaching and for the construction team, how can you let you pay for it privately?" Chen Chuanhe said very simply.
Xu Ye shook his head and said: "I cannot embezzle the entire brigade's money for personal gain."
"This house was built for my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"If you don't agree, then I will have no choice but to strike. In this way, it will be difficult for the construction team to receive big jobs."
