Chapter 221: Falling the Floors
The second day is the big day for the new house to be poured, and there is no need to go to sea.
It was only six o'clock when Jiang Xia woke up, but Zhou Chenglei had disappeared, and he didn't know when he got up.
Is he human?
Why are you so energetic?
Although he went back to bed very early last night, only around eight o'clock, it was already very late after he finished all his work. It was already twelve o'clock, right?
You haven’t seen anyone so early today. Did you go for a run?
Jiang Xia turned over with the quilt in her arms. Her whole body was still sleepy and soft. She buried her face in the quilt.
She has never been lazy in bed, so she decided to be lazy in bed for a minute today!
The quilt is full of his and her scent, the crisp and fragrant fragrance mixed with the smell of dry sunshine.
Zhou Chenglei opened the door and came in, and saw Jiang Xia curled up on the quilt like a little lazy insect.
His usually stern eyebrows were instantly stained with a smile, and his cold and indifferent expression softened.
This was the first time he had seen such a lazy Jiang Xia.
When Jiang Xia heard the door open, she sat up and relaxed when she saw it was him. As she got out of bed, she asked: "What time did you get up?"
"Five o'clock." Zhou Chenglei After closing the door, he came to her side, supported her, and picked her up.
Jiang Xia hung on him like a koala!
He pecked her lips gently and pressed her forehead: "Were you tired last night? Do you want to sleep some more?"
Jiang Xia shook her head and kissed him back. : "I won't sleep anymore. Didn't a construction team come over today to knock down the slabs?"
Zhou Chenglei's arms tightened.
"Yes, but it's still early." After saying that, he took her beautiful little mouth like a rose and gave her a deep kiss that lasted for a quarter of an hour.
It wasn't until she couldn't breathe and he almost lost control that he held her and walked to open the door.
Jiang Xia was in his arms, her heartbeat still very fast. When she saw him opening the door and going out, her heart almost jumped out: "Put me down, I will go by myself."
There are old and young at home. , in what manner?
Zhou Chenglei opened the door and hugged her out: "Dad went to learn how to drive a motorcycle, and mom went to the vegetable garden. Zhou Zhou was just called out to play by several brothers, and there was no one at home."< br>
If he puts her on the ground now, will she be able to stand firm?
After all this time, I am still so squeamish. Not only can I not bear all his strength, my lung capacity is not enough.
She couldn't bear it when he lost some strength last night.
Zhou Chenglei carried Jiang Xia out of the patio, put the bamboo chair he carried through the hall on the ground, then put Jiang Xia on it, prepared toothpaste, toothbrush and mouthwash cup for her, and asked her to brush her teeth and wash her face.
He ran to town early in the morning and rode his bicycle back. He brought back some fried dough sticks and steamed buns, and also bought a pair of pig offal, which is pig offal.
The last time he went to the city, he rode a bicycle to the town and then transferred to a car, and then rode a motorcycle back. The bicycle was still left at the town health center. Today, he did not need to go out to sea, so he went to ride it back.
Zhou Chenglei picked up the fried dough sticks and steamed buns in oil paper bags from the basket on the front of the bicycle and put them on the Eight Immortals table in the room, and then picked up the pig offal from the basket on another bicycle to deal with it.
Last time at Jiang's house, Zhou Chenglei remembered that Jiang Xia said that fried dough sticks and soy milk are a perfect match, but Zhou Chenglei felt that Jidi porridge and fried dough sticks went better together.
While brushing his teeth, Jiang Xia watched Zhou Chenglei squatting there busy preparing breakfast for himself.
In the yard in the early morning, the sunlight was clear and shallow, and even the wind was gentle. The sunlight fell on him, and his profile was clear and handsome.
This small courtyard, which was originally overgrown with weeds, now has flowers, trees, and swings. With them, it has become very warm.
Zhou Chenglei cleaned all kinds of pig offal, cut it into pieces, and cooked a pot of porridge with enough ingredients.
Mother Zhou cooked the porridge early in the morning. She put the porridge in the briquette stove and simmered it slowly before going to the vegetable garden to pour vegetables.
When Zhou Chenglei was preparing Ji Di porridge, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother happened to come back from outside with Zhou Zhou.
Since the introduction of various ball games, Zhou Zhou was called out to play every day as soon as he got up. Even the days when he was studying were the same. He would play a round before going to school.
Jiang Xia didn't care. Reading is important, but a happy childhood is also important. Children in this era are really not as good as modern ones, with various cram schools and interest classes.
If Zhou Zhou doesn’t delay her study and rest, she won’t stop her from playing.
She is very good now. Children come to play with her every day, and she feels much more cheerful.
The family had a hearty breakfast.
Jiang Xia discovered that Ji Di porridge with fried dough sticks is really delicious!
Probably because she likes meat when eating porridge, Jidi porridge has a lot of meat, and Zhou Chenglei knows that Jiang Xia likes to eat meat, so he specially put a lot of pork offal and lean pork in it, as well as sea cucumbers, in short A bowl of jidi porridge with enough ingredients.
The porridge cooked with fresh pig offal is very sweet. Then tear the fried dough sticks into small pieces and put them into the porridge. Eat the fried dough sticks mixed with the porridge water. It is simply a delicacy in the world!
Even Zhou Zhou’s little belly couldn’t help but eat two bowls of porridge, a fried dough stick, an egg, and even his favorite corn!
Jiang Xia also ate two bowls of porridge, and wanted to eat half a bowl after finishing it. Zhou Chenglei did not want to eat the hard-boiled eggs, corn, yam, and sweet potatoes that Zhou Chenglei had peeled for her.
Finally, Zhou Chenglei peeled off the egg whites and broke off a third of the corn for her to eat.
You should have a rich breakfast and eat a little of everything to stay healthy.
When he ate milk yam and sweet potato by himself, he would let her take one or two bites first, and then he would finish the rest of the milk yam and sweet potato until she stopped eating.
Zhou Chenglei has always been able to eat. He ate three bowls of porridge, two fried dough sticks, one steamed bun, one corn, one sweet potato, two milk yam and one egg yolk.
Jiang Xia deeply felt that it was not easy for Father Zhou and Mother Zhou to raise Zhou Chenglei and his brothers in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s!
It was already eight o'clock after breakfast, and the construction team for demolishing the floor slabs arrived.
The alley is very lively today, because the new house of Zhou Bingqiang’s family next door also chose today to have its floors demolished.
In the past, when building a brick house, it was necessary to raise the beams. The raising of the beams was an important day, but now there is no need to raise the beams. Therefore, everyone regards the falling of the floor as the raising of the beams, and they will choose a good day.
Today is a good day, so the two families chose the same day again.
Zhou Bingqiang and Zhou Guohua went to sea today.
Yesterday there was a family dispute in Zhou Bingqiang’s family. Zhou Guohua’s two eldest brothers wanted to separate the family, so last night Zhou Bingqiang’s family also separated.
Zhou Guohua and Wen Wan divided a new boat and this new house.
The family was separated, and the money they received was not much. Zhou Guohua needed to go overseas to make money, and they didn’t have enough money to build a house! So Wen Wan stayed in the village to watch the new house collapse, while Zhou Guohua and Zhou Bingqiang went to sea early in the morning.
Wen Wan told Zhou Guohua her dream last night, telling Zhou Guohua that he must go to sea today. It happened that Zhou Chenglei did not go to sea today, so he could fish out the two stones first!
Wen Wan came here early in the morning to supervise the work.
At this moment, workers from both houses are mixing concrete in preparation for pouring the floor slabs.
Mother Zhou brought out a large pot of cooled soy milk and a large pot of water, and told the workers that they could drink it themselves if they were thirsty.
Jiang Xia brought out some bowls for the workers to drink soy milk and water.
She saw Wen Wan standing not far away and didn't care.
Zhou Chenglei, Zhou's father, and Zhou Chengxin all climbed up to the roof to help.
Jiang Xia couldn't help but walk up and have a look.
Zhou Chenglei saw her coming up and quickly stepped forward to help her.
The deck of the entire floor has been nailed, and a layer of steel bars and iron branches are laid on the deck, which are all tied with iron wire according to the rules.
The construction team saw that the floor of their house was floating out a little, so they asked: "The layout of your house is really good, but why is the floor floating out of the outer wall? Is the second floor to be built? Is it bigger? "
Generally speaking, it only floats out from the balcony, but for this family, it floats out a little bit, not much, about ten centimeters.
It only floats ten centimeters, and the second floor is not much bigger, so it doesn’t seem to mean much!
Father Zhou smiled and said: "My daughter-in-law proposed this. She said that in the future, the exterior walls would not only look better, but also prevent water leakage and other problems on the exterior walls of the house. Especially the top floor, she said Walls are prone to cracking and leaking. If you extend the floor slab a little and make a floating eaves when pouring it down, the rainwater will not directly wash away the wall, but fall on the floating eaves and drip down. This can prevent the house from being damaged by the wall. Although it cannot be 100% prevented from causing water leakage and leakage on rainy days, it will be much better."
That was probably what he meant. Father Zhou interpreted Jiang Xia's words as he understood them.
Wen Wan also heard what Father Zhou said and looked up at the floor of her house. Hers did not float out!
