Chapter 222 Making a Phone Call
Can making the floor wider prevent leaks in the house? After hearing this, the construction foreman immediately wanted to understand why it could be prevented!
Now in the town, many buildings in the city that have been built for more than five years are leaking on the top floor, especially the houses that are more than seven or eight years old. Some are so serious that the attic floor slabs are cracked. On rainy days, it rains heavily outside, and the inside of the house is leaking. It rains lightly.
However, this was due to the lack of experience of many workers at that time, and the foundation was not dug enough, causing the foundation to sink.
But water leaks from the cracks in the wall under the top floor slab. Water leakage occurs in almost every household living on the top floor! In the past two years, he often heard that many people asked him to correct their mistakes, but he could not find a good solution.
He saw that the walls of their home were moldy, and they didn’t dare to put the wardrobe against the wall.
The top floor is prone to water leakage. Not only the construction foreman knows this, but Wen Wan also knows it!
In modern times, the stairwells of houses in old cities are covered with psoriasis stickers, all of which are telephone advertisements about toilet cleaning and leak repair.
Before she was reborn, she rented the top floor of an old community house for a while after her divorce. The walls near the ceiling were covered in moss due to water seepage on rainy days!
The roof is leaking and water seepage is indeed a big problem! The construction foreman smiled and said: "This is a good idea! Why didn't I think of it before? Haha, I will have to remind anyone who builds a building in the future."
Father Zhou said with a smile: "Not only the floor slab, but also the window sill of my house, also known as the window eyebrow, has floated out for more than 30 centimeters. I poured a cement board. Even in light rain, I can open the window a little and it will not be stuffy." My daughter-in-law thought of it."
The foreman heard the compliment and said, "Your daughter-in-law must be very educated!"
"That's right! She knows a lot. She helps the publishing house every day. Translation, English, French..." So Zhou's father started his performance again, but this time it was not to show off himself, but to show off Jiang Xia's ability.
Wen Wan pursed her lips, with disdain flashing in her eyes. Father Zhou probably didn’t know that his daughter-in-law was able to make money translating in a publishing house because she had a good father, not because she really knew many foreign languages. !
Not wanting to hear Zhou's father praise Jiang Xia, she called her construction foreman aside and whispered: "The floor slabs of my house also want to float out of the outer wall."
The construction foreman first Hearing this, he said: "This requires adding a new board on the periphery to nail it a little wider, and since you have already nailed it all, if you want to add it now, you have to remove the boards on the edge before nailing it, which is very time-consuming. You don’t have enough wood fir left here. You need to find more wood fir for support. It can’t be done in one day. If you want to widen the floor, you can’t pour the floor today and you have to postpone it for a day or two.”
Wen Wan frowned after hearing this, and she couldn't help but said: "Why didn't you learn to float out from the next door when you were doing it before!"
Construction foreman: "..."
Gai After so many houses, this is the first time I have seen such an unreasonable owner as her.
He said patiently: "Although floating the floor slab out a little does sound like it can prevent water seepage problems, doesn't your house have to be built with two and a half floors? Generally, water leakage and seepage occur on the top floor, anyway. Your house needs to be built with two floors. I don’t think there is any need to add the first floor. I can just float out the second floor when the time comes.”
Now Wen Wan just wants to build the new house quickly and doesn't want to live with her two sisters-in-law. She thinks that the water seepage on the top floor is really serious. It's not just one floor, her house also has to be built on two floors. You can float out on the second level, so he said:
"Then this level will be like this! Don't change it! Remember to float out on the next level."
"Okay, then We are starting to lay the floor slabs.”
Jiang Xia’s construction team has mixed a lot of concrete, and buckets of concrete have begun to be passed up with ropes.
Jiangxia has returned to the ground to avoid hindering the workers' work.
Zhou Chenglei stood on it and helped pull buckets of concrete up from the ground, and then handed them to the workers behind him.
The worker behind him took it and passed it to another person, and one worker after another took it and passed it to the other side, until the last worker took it and poured the bucket of concrete onto the floor.
Everyone is very fast and can pass a bucket of concrete in almost no time.
There are also several people downstairs responsible for loading barrels and mixing concrete.
There are two floors to be poured down today.
Bricks have also been laid in the kitchen and farm equipment room next to the house, and the floor slabs on that floor will also be poured down. So prepare a lot of concrete.
Jiang Xia looked at it for a while and then stopped. Jiang Dong and Zhang Furyan took the train to Beijing today. Jiang Dong should be able to return to school in the afternoon.
She asked Jiang Dong for Ye Xian’s phone number last time and decided to call Ye Xian and ask her to take good care of Jiang Dong.
So she pushed a bicycle home, told Zhou Chenglei that she would call Jiang Dong, and then rode her bicycle to the production team.
Wen Wan stood on the side of the road, watching Zhou Chenglei's strong arms pull up bucket after bucket of concrete.
Everyone is wearing a white vest, only he is wearing a shirt, with his sleeves rolled up, the veins of his forearms are exposed, the lines are graceful and full of strength, and he moves quickly and quickly to pull up buckets of concrete. , as if you are not tired!
She couldn't help but be fascinated.
Zhou Chenglei was already keen and noticed that a line of sight had been falling on him. He glanced at it, stopped, pulled down his sleeves, and then continued to pour bucket after bucket of mixed food. Ning pulls up.
In this era, there are actually very few men like Zhou Chenglei who wear white shirts all day long, especially in the village. In the summer, everyone walks around the village in a vest, and some even go to the ground with their upper bodies naked. Working on the docks.
But I forget since when so many eyes started falling on Zhou Chenglei, he became accustomed to wearing long-sleeved shirts.
Even so, there were still many eyes falling on him.
......
Jiang Xia rode her bicycle to the production team. She parked her bicycle and walked into the office. She found that the person sitting in front of the phone had changed and it was no longer Zhou Li.
Instead of a woman about the same age as Zhou Li, Jiang Xia only knew that she was from the next village, and everyone called her Aunt Hong.
Jiang Xia smiled and shouted: "Aunt Hong, why are you sitting here today?"
Aunt Hong smiled and said: "I will be sitting here from now on."
< br>After saying that, she looked around and then whispered to Jiang Xia: "Zhou Li was punished, and now she has taken my place and become a logistics worker in our office."
Aunt Hong was happy ah! She finally got ahead and got a desk!
I said she was a support worker before, but she was actually a cleaner, a handyman, and she had to do any kind of work!
Jiang Xia raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Zhou Li to become a logistics worker. Isn't that a handyman?
I guess she will be so aggrieved that she can’t wait to fight Wen Wan again.
Jiang Xia smiled: "Congratulations to Aunt Hong on your promotion, I'll make a call."
Aunt Hong immediately said: "You call, I'll get a glass of water."
So she walked away holding a brand new enamel cup for serving others.
Zhou Li listened to the phone calls she shouldn't have listened to and did things she shouldn't have done and was punished. She couldn't make this mistake!
Jiang Xia dialed a number.
This is the number of Ye Xian's school dormitory management office. After the call was connected, she told the other party Ye Xian's dormitory number and name, and asked the other party to call Ye Xian to answer the phone.
The other party asked her to call back in five minutes and then hung up.
Just after five minutes, Jiang Xia called again and heard Ye Xian's voice: "Hello, hello, I am Ye Xian."
Jiang Xia said in a slightly serious tone: "Xiaoxian, I am Sister Jiang Xia. Has Jiang Dong returned to school?"
