Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 64 Completion
He Ping's house has become a hot topic on the kangs and dinner tables of the team in the past two days.

The first reason is that friends from the commune and the county always come to help every now and then. At this time, the interpersonal relationship in the team is relatively closed. If something happens, at most, relatives and friends from the next-door brigade come to help, like He Ping. In this way, friends on bicycles come to help at every turn, which is the first time in Hantun.

The second reason is because of the house itself. It’s not that no one in Hantun has built a house before. [-]% of them are three or four bungalows lined up in a row. It is the living room, the kitchen, and the study. I heard that it was built according to the appearance of the city, and everyone understands it. No wonder, it looks so good.

The good reason is of course not only because of the pattern of the house, but also the decoration.There is no such thing as decoration when building houses in rural areas these days. If you paste newspapers on the walls, and then paste a shed, you are considered rich.

It was the first time the members of the commune had seen He Ping put all the rooms of the house on a concrete floor and installed two layers of windows inside and outside.

He Ping didn't care what the people in the team thought. He watched the imaginary house become reality little by little, let alone the joy in his heart, he could wake up happily when he slept. It's quite similar.

In the first two days, the main body of the house, the roof, and the ground were finished. He Pintuo Liu Fourth Uncle found a famous old carpenter in the nearby ten miles and eight villages to lay the doors and windows according to his requirements, and then put glass on them. An, the room is called bright.

The structure and sealing of the house are considered complete, and the next step is the real fine work. He Ping explained his requirements to Fourth Uncle Liu carefully.

Uncle Liu and his young apprentices spent ten days working hard, and finally completed the indoor and outdoor decoration construction according to He Ping's requirements.

"At any rate, I've been doing this all my life, and building a house for you this time is an eye-opener."

"Improve living conditions, we farmers also want to live a better life, don't we?" He Ping joked, these days he and Uncle Liu are very familiar, and they speak casually.

"You can pull it off. You are the only one who pays back the peasants. I haven't seen any peasant earning a manuscript fee." Uncle Liu said sarcastically.

"hey-hey."

"Old Jiang's furniture is almost done. Later, you call a car to pull it over, and it happens to hang out with the house. What kind of weird requests are you asking for? I have never seen such finely crafted furniture. Yes, even a bowl and chopsticks have to be set up on a special shelf."

While the house was being renovated, He Ping had asked the carpenter Master Jiang to start building furniture. Like Uncle Liu, the old master was dumbfounded when he heard He Ping’s request. idea.

He Ping called the old captain and said that he was borrowing his donkey cart to fetch furniture from Master Jiang.

The furniture in He Ping’s house is much more than that of ordinary homes, including two large wardrobes, a wooden bed, a mother-in-law desk, a low cabinet, two chairs, a dining table, four wooden stools, and various kitchens. The small storage boxes, racks, and a long bench with a backrest looked weird. The old team leader’s donkey cart took four or five trips to finish.

"I know you're not holding back your fart, kid." The old captain said angrily after he packed up the donkey cart after working as a tribute all morning.

"It's hard work, it's hard work, stay home for lunch." He Ping said politely.

"It's rare!" The old captain dismissed it, whipped the donkey's ass with the little leather whip, and went home leisurely.

He Ping didn't take it seriously either, although sometimes he often got along with the old captain and liked to bully the old captain, but he sincerely regarded the old captain as an elder.

In addition to the old captain, two brothers Han Zhaojun and Han Zhaoshe came to help today. There are a lot of furniture, all of which are made of genuine solid wood, no matter what kind of wood it is, it is solid wood anyway.

Highlight one word, Shen.

A large wardrobe requires two young men to move it into the room. Han Zhaojun brothers gasped, "Brother, your wardrobe is too big."

These days, only people in the city open wardrobes, and in rural areas, boxes are generally used to store clothes.This is the first time the brothers have seen such a large wardrobe that is nearly two meters long.

"It's okay." He Ping was used to the wardrobes of the later generations and thought they were commonplace. He didn't realize that this kind of wardrobes were not the mainstream in the rural areas of this era.

He Ping’s house faces south, and the sunny side has a layout of three suns. There are one bedroom in the east and one bedroom in the east. Due to the strength of the glass, floor-to-ceiling windows cannot be made, so He Ping installed windows on the sunny side of the two rooms. adequate.

The living room is in the middle, and the dining room is in the middle of the living room. For lighting, He Ping asked a carpenter to build a wooden screen to the top and then inlaid glass to separate the living room from the dining room. The lighting is not bad.

To the east of the dining room is the kitchen. The stove in the kitchen is connected to the kang in the bedroom in the east room.To the west of the restaurant is the study room, which He Ping specially created for himself and Xiao Zhuer to read and write.But the door is opened from the north wall of the west bedroom, and it is always bad to open the door next to the dining room.

He Ping fulfilled what he said about the all-clear house type, which was also one of the points that Uncle Liu did not understand at the time. Why did he install windows in all the houses, and added several windows just for ventilation? Extravagant and unreasonable.

He Ping directed Han Zhaojun and his brothers to move the furniture into the room. A wardrobe was placed in the master bedroom of the east room, and a wardrobe was placed in the second bedroom of the west room. Storage boxes and racks are for kitchen use.

And the last weird-looking long stool with a backrest and a low-leg cabinet. He Ping asked Han Zhaojun to put it in the living room. The walls on the east and west sides of the living room are seven meters long. He Ping put the long stool next to the west wall, and put the short cabinet not far from the long stool, just enough for people to walk.

If there are people from later generations present, it will be obvious at a glance, isn't this Nima just a sofa and a coffee table, and what's missing is a TV cabinet? Your three-piece set is considered complete.

He Ping placed the cotton cushion he asked Aunt Qiufen to make on the top and back of the long stool.

"Zhaoshe, go over and have a try." He Ping said to Han Zhaoshe.
