Chapter 176 Locomotive Depot Bridge Workshop
Li Aiguo decided to take advantage of the two-day holiday.
Finalize the house repairs.
Breakfast is a pot of stick noodle porridge, with a plate of pickles, two boiled eggs, and three fried eggs.
All are high in protein.
After eating and drinking, we rode our bicycles and went straight to the bridge workshop of the locomotive depot.
The bridge workshop of the locomotive depot is responsible for the maintenance and repair of bridges, tunnels and culverts, and has more than a dozen professional construction teams under it.
When there is a big project, the whole team is dispatched, and on weekdays they are responsible for helping the locomotive depot repair the house.
When employees decorate their houses, they will also ask the bridge workshop for help.
First of all, they are all in the same segment, and the prices are discounted.
Secondly, the craftsmanship of the masters in the bridge workshop is excellent.
You can build a tunnel of several hundred meters, you can build a seven or eight-story building, but you still can’t build a tile-roofed house?
"Director Zhang."
Li Aiguo went to the second floor of the office building and knocked on the office door at the end of the corridor.
“Comrade, this is the advanced railway worker, please come in.”
Director Zhang of the bridge workshop met Li Aiguo at the commendation meeting and even shook hands with Li Aiguo.
"You didn't drive today? Why don't you have a good rest at home." Director Zhang asked warmly.
Li Aiguo took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over, then took out his lighter and lit one himself.
"I want to renovate the house. I wonder if the construction team in our locomotive depot is free?"
"There are relatively few projects recently, and two teams are idle." Director Zhang smoked Yan Yan raised his head and looked at Li Aiguo: "Are you going to make major renovations? Or simply tidy up."
"Major renovations, both inside and outside the house need to be tidied up. You also know that my house is an old house in a courtyard. It has a history of a hundred years and is dilapidated everywhere."
"Yes, the conditions there are It's not a good situation. Your father gave the house to someone else, otherwise you could live in the Tongzi Building." Director Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Well, this time, the labor fee for building the house will be halved."
"No, brother, we can't do things that take advantage of the collective. You can't let me make mistakes."
Li Aiguo sat up straight and held the table with both hands: "I live alone now, and I have saved a little The money is enough to repair the house.”
“We advanced railway workers have high ideological consciousness. I will help you contact the captain of the construction team.”
Director Zhang nodded in admiration. , shook the intercom phone: "Dashan, come to life."
A moment later.
A middle-aged man in his forties, tall, dark-skinned, walked in.
Li Aiguo noticed that the fingers he used to push the door open were covered with calluses.
It should be an old comrade who has been working on the front line all year round.
"Director, are you looking for me?"
"This is Comrade Li Aiguo, who is also an advanced railway worker in our locomotive depot. His family needs to renovate their house."
"This is Comrade Li Aiguo. Captain Liu Dashan of the Fifth Construction Team. "
Hearing the title of advanced railway worker, Liu Dashan's expression became visibly serious.
He reached out his hand excitedly, held Li Aiguo's hand tightly, and shook it vigorously: "Comrade Patriot, leave the renovation work to us. Please rest assured, we will ensure your satisfaction."
In later generations, the so-called title is just a title. You will get two sentences of praise at most. When you are promoted, you will be taken more care of.
In this era, a glorious title can often win the respect of others and is an invincible pass.
Li Aiguo smiled and said: "Then I'll trouble you."
Siheyuan.
In front of Li’s house.
"Captain Liu, this is my house. My idea is to paint the inside of the house white and gray, and then separate two rooms with a single layer of bricks in the middle."
Li Aiguo pointed to the house and introduced.
In the past, there were partitions in the Li family's house, but they were separated by cotton curtains.
Neither soundproofing nor beautiful.
"Wait a minute, let's go for a spin first."
Liu Dashan has been interested in this matter since he learned that Li Aiguo was an advanced railway worker.
Every worker who can receive this title has made significant contributions to national construction and railway construction. Entered the house and walked around.
Liu Dashan frowned: "It's too crude."
He pointed at the wall and said: "The bricks on the wall have been pulverized and must be enameled with cement. One layer, then apply white ash to make it strong.
If you can get some paint, it would be better to put on a sanitary skirt. "
"I have already obtained the cement. You can go to the materials department to find the paint. "Li Aiguo nodded.
"Our materials department has everything, and coatings will definitely not be a problem. "
Liu Dashan nodded, pointed to the corner of the wall and said: "There is a mouse hole there, which has gone deep into the ground. All the underground bricks must be uncovered, re-paved, and replaced with new blue bricks."< br>
He hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Aiguo: "The materials department also has terrazzo, which is much more high-end than blue bricks."
"Forget about terrazzo, it's too eye-catching. "Li Aiguo shook his head.
As a worker, you must behave like a worker.
You must maintain the true nature of labor and not be ostentatious.
The wind will blow in a few years.< br>
When the wind blows, those who are separated from the masses will suffer the consequences
"Green bricks are also fine, with a layer of cement underneath, they are also very strong."
Liu Dashan walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked: "Patriotic comrade, do you want to follow the expert building method?" According to the layout, we can build a separate kitchen and bathroom in the house."
"Can it be done?" Li Aiguo was overjoyed.
To say that in this era, the most uncomfortable thing is that there is no separate kitchen and bathroom.
There is no kitchen.
Whenever I cook, the house smells of oil smoke, and a thick layer of oil stains quickly forms on the quilt and walls.
There is no toilet.
Every day I have to hold my breath and run all the way to the toilet in the courtyard.
It's summer and it smells bad inside.
Whenever it rains, the water in the latrine overflows, and there are little things like crickets and pupae everywhere.
Although I know that stuff is high in protein.
It can be made into a famous dish, and the price is quite high.
But after all, I should be alone.
When winter came, it was freezing cold.
The bird was so cold that it shrank its neck.
Every time I go to the latrine, I have to muster up courage.
In a cold year, when water dripping outside becomes ice, going to the hut will be risky.
The three stewards deliberately leaned against a wooden stick against the wall of the hut.
Used to knock out frozen water sticks.
Just
"The courtyard is a century-old house, and there is no drainage under the house."
Li Aiguo took out a cigarette and handed it to Liu Dashan, "We need to redo the drainage and guide the wastewater into the sewer."
< br>Liu Dashan took the cigarette and said with a silly smile:
“It can be done, but why can’t it be done? Our construction team in the locomotive depot can even drill through mountains. With this small job, we can do it in three days. Done."
"Okay, let's do it." Li Aiguo nodded.
"I will bring you the tap water so that you can flush the toilet in the house." Liu Dashan smoked a cigarette and squinted his eyes: "In the bathroom, should you install a squat pit or a toilet. Expert Building There are all toilets over there. Our engineering team’s warehouse can make one for you.”
Li Aiguo declined Liu Dashan’s kindness.
There is only one toilet in the house.
If you have guests on weekdays, you must use the toilet. It is a bit inconvenient to install a toilet.
“Okay, I’ll calculate the drawings and materials when I get back, and come back tomorrow.”
Liu Dashan walked around the room again, picked up a pen and wrote down the data in a small notebook.
