Chapter 125 The Mud House

When Aunt Osmanthus and Yuan Zhihu's wife arrived, they saw Wei Chenrui standing in the rain in a daze, and then looked into her line of sight, and couldn't help exclaiming: "My God, why is the roof gone?"

As he said that, he even pulled Wei Chenrui: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go back and tidy up your clothes and quilts, or are you going to sleep with wet quilts at night?"

Only now did Wei Chenrui come to his senses, and hurried back to grab the quilt, Aunt Osmanthus and Mrs. Yuan Zhihu also followed.

No one in the village has extra quilts. Wei Chenrui's house has no roof at the moment, and he will definitely have to borrow to live in someone else's house at night. Can sleep wet.

When the three of them arrived, the person Wei Chenrui called to help move the bed had already packed all the bedding into the cage under the command of Kai, the patient, and was carrying the box out.

Seeing this, Wei Chenrui hurriedly shouted: "Wait, I'll spread the bed, you put all the boxes and cages on the bed, just lift the bed and walk away!"

As he said that, Wei Chenrui hurried forward to support the convenient bed. Afraid that the cage would be scratched, he also propped up the guardrails on both sides of the bed, and directed the help to put the box on the bed.

This house must be uninhabitable right now, Aunt Osmanthus invites: "Girl, you can't live in your house now, why don't you live in our house first, and when the weather clears, you come back and repair the roof before moving in."

Aunt Guihua’s house is also the village head’s house. The house is built with bricks and tiles. The roof will definitely not be blown off by the wind. Wei Chenrui has no friendship: “Then bother auntie and the village head!”

Called by Aunt Osmanthus, the helpers braved the rain and carried the bed into the village head's house. On the way, they also met several other houses whose roofs were blown off by the wind, but they didn't go to the village head's house for help. Went to the only ancestral hall with a brick house.

Presumably, this is not the first time that this kind of help has been used. The villagers are very conscious to go there with their things, and they don't even need to plan the site, and they are completely familiar with the road.

Seeing this, Wei Chenrui asked, "Does this happen often in the village?"

Aunt Osmanthus nodded: "It's not often, there are always a few times every summer, and several times in winter, everyone is used to it."

Yuan Zhihu's daughter-in-law followed suit and said, "Fortunately, our village is relatively rich, and we can build a brick and tile ancestral hall, like my natal family's. In such a situation, we can only go to the mountain to find a cave to live temporarily."

Wei Chenrui was silent for a while before he said, "How much money does it cost to build a brick house?"

Aunt Osmanthus was involved in building a brick-and-tiled house at home, and she knew the cost fairly well: "The ones like ours cost 80 taels of silver, and the ones like our ancestral hall cost nearly 200 taels of silver. "

"If there is no other profitable business, just relying on farming and saving so much money, I'm afraid it will take a lifetime of hard work."

This cost is indeed too high for ordinary people. Wei Chenrui thought for a while and asked: "Bricks and tiles are expensive, but the soil is not expensive. Why is no one using mud to build houses?"

Everyone was stunned when these words came out, and after a while, an uncle who helped carry the bed smiled and said: "You are Miss Da, you don't know, when the soil meets rain, it becomes mud, and the construction It can’t be a house. Build a house with mud, and in this rainy day, it will be directly glued into mud, which is not as good as a thatched house.”

Wei Chenrui turned to look at him and said, "Uncle Xia Mang, how do you know so clearly? Have you tried?"

Xia Mang smiled: "That's not true. When we were young, mud was the toy. I play with mud the best. At that time, I built a small house with mud on a whim. Who knows that when it rains, my small house will go straight to the ground." It was washed away by the rain, and I was sad for a long time."

Wei Chenrui took a long breath and laughed, "Uncle Xia Mang still has a lot of ideas, but your ideas are still too superficial, and you didn't dig deeper. You only know that the rain will wash away the mud house, but you haven't thought about it." Why, and what can be done to keep it from being washed out."

Hearing what Wei Chenrui said, Xia Mang became interested: "Could it be that the girl knows?"

Wei Chenrui nodded: "Of course I know, the idea of ​​a mud house is actually good, but your method is wrong. Think about it, aren't the caves on the mountain all made of mud?"

Xia Mang is a smart one, and she understands everything: "Girl, what do you mean, the soil can be as strong as a cave if it is mixed with some sand and rocks and then drilled to a certain thickness?"

Wei Chenrui nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, but soil and sand are not easy to bond together, so some adhesive is necessary. Although the glutinous rice pulp we commonly use can be bonded together, the price of rice is not high." It's low, so it's not suitable for heavy use."

Yuan Zhihu is also a smart person, knowing that Wei Chenrui's proposal may bring great benefits to the village, he hurriedly said: "Girl, let's not talk about this matter, I think it is a good thing, let's come to my house later , please tell me again, especially in front of my father, he is a well-informed old man, your method is useful, and I think you can try it in our village first."

Wei Chenrui didn't really want to talk in the rain, because the rain would easily flow into his mouth, so he nodded quickly and said, "Then let's wait at the village house, wash up, and change our clothes before talking, so that everyone won't catch the cold."

These days, there have been cases where a wind-cold kills people from time to time. Naturally, they are afraid of catching it. Not only will it cost money, but they may lose their lives, so they stop talking and concentrate on their journey.

Concentrating on the journey, the speed naturally increased a lot, and after a while, I arrived at the village chief's house.

Seeing a few people carrying the bed, the village head's wife hurriedly greeted the grandson at home: "Tie Dan, quickly go and bring ginger soup to your mother and the others, and let them drink it while it is hot to drive away the cold."

Aunt Osmanthus took the opportunity to say: "Mother, my daughter-in-law made a mistake. She brought Yang's younger sister here for help without consulting you and father."

Wei Chenrui followed suit and said, "Grandma, the village chief, the roof of my house was blown off by the strong wind, and I can't live in it right now, so I asked Aunt Osmanthus, I hope to come to your house for a while, and when the weather clears, the roof can be repaired. My husband and I will move back."

Before the wife of the village chief could speak, the village chief who was sitting in the house walked to the door and said, "Don't worry, you can stay here for as long as you want. After all, the house at home is still enough. I also know what happened to Brother Rui's old house. , It hasn’t been repaired much this year, I was just worried about something going wrong, and I was about to wait for the boss to come back and let him go and have a look, so you came here.”

Wei Chenrui hurriedly expressed his thanks: "Thank you village chief for taking me in!"

Xia Mang and Yuan Zhihu seem to have a very good relationship. Seeing that Wei Chenrui and the village chief had finished talking, he hurriedly said to Yuan Zhenghu: "Huzi, lend me a set of clothes for me to change, and I'll return them to you after washing them tomorrow." .”
