Siheyuan: Why is my crossing so ugly?

Chapter 17
The taste of malted milk is actually really good, not a little bit stronger than that Golego.

It's a pity that it was later forced to die by capital.

The malted milk extract of this era is very high in purity, strong enough in taste, and very high in sugar and fat. In later generations, this is called a serious excess of calories, but right now, it is indeed a very rare nutritional product.

It even belongs to luxury drinks.

6 yuan a can, the price is really very expensive.

But for girls with severe malnutrition, it is indeed the best and most suitable supplement.

For Niuniu who had only licked popsicle sticks before, Xiao Du invited her to eat butter popsicles for the first time, and the aroma of malted milk was like a dreamy paradise to her.

So sweet that you can't keep your eyes open.

Niuniu felt that the past two days had been very dreamy. Yesterday, she ate butter popsicles first, then a tall and handsome man willing to take care of her, and the first new clothes and shoes in her life.

It was the first time I made a tricycle, and the grain tank at home was also filled for the first time.

Then today my brother came with a few city people on bicycles, and said that they wanted to build new houses, brick houses, and only three of the more than 200 households in the commune lived in brick houses.

Just now I ate steamed buns and drank malted milk that was too sweet to open my eyes, and my brother said that I would drink it every day in the future.

Niu Niu started to cry when she closed her eyes, and she refused to open her eyes, Xiao Du was stunned.

"What's wrong? Niuniu, are you blinded?"

"Brother, I dare not open my eyes. I'm afraid this is a dream. If you open your eyes, you won't be there."

"Then I'll get angry if you don't open your eyes, so I'll leave!"

"Brother, don't go!"

Niu Niu was so frightened that she quickly opened her eyes, not daring to cry anymore, and threw herself into Xiao Du's arms.

"Hahaha, okay, what are you dreaming? Can you still taste malted milk in your dreams?"

Having lunch at noon, the strong men were extremely satisfied with their lunch, even a little surprised.

The steamed buns are solid and delicate, and there is enough white flour.

Stewed Chinese cabbage and radish vermicelli with oil residue, enough oil and water, enough salt, enough ingredients, very fragrant.

Basically, it is at the level of the Chinese New Year, and if you say that you can control your fullness, you will really control your fullness, and let go of it.

The men also feel very dreamy, how long have you not had enough food?How long has it been since you ate such a delicious dish?

It's all tears.

So when they were working in the afternoon, they really performed at a super level. This group of men worked like bulls, spared no effort, because there was another meal in the evening, which was exactly the same as the Chinese New Year feast!
It would be nice to build a house every day.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the brick and tile factory in the suburbs of the city delivered four cars of bricks and tiles, as well as linoleum.

It means that there are still 4 cars tomorrow, and the commune exploded in an instant. This is going to build two big tile-roofed houses?
At least more than 100 yuan, laughing and joking, an ordinary family in the commune with two strong laborers can't save 10 yuan a year.

This big tile-roofed house was built as soon as it was built.

At this time, apart from envy, the people in the commune village also have a trace of jealousy and fear. What kind of extravagant person is this?

It's not just about money, it's about energy.

This era is both simple and kind, but also extremely vicious, so to protect the old and frail Aunt Zuo and the young and ignorant Niu Niu, it really has to be both kind and powerful, and the effect of being respectful and fearful is not bad.

At 6 o'clock, the foundation has been completed. In the afternoon, Yu Huaihai and Xiangbei had already returned to the city. Yu Huaihai went to get the cement and glass done, and Xiangbei's task was to find out the nearest elementary school from Zuojia Commune.

Children must study, they cannot be illiterate.

The meal was as sumptuous as at noon. The big guys ate and chatted with great enthusiasm and full of expectations for tomorrow.

After dinner, Yin Laoliu and Cui Carpenter commanded eight strong men to build a simple brick and tile shed in only half an hour.

In summer, there is no problem at all in the sleeping shed. As for the mosquitoes, just find some Artemisia seeds and light a fire to smoke them, natural mosquito coils.

Comrade Xiao Du returned to the city with Yin Laoliu and Cui Carpenter when it was dark.

Or live directly at Yu Huaihai's house, his house is cleaner and fresher than Xiao Du's house, mainly because there are not so many annoying things in the compound.

On the first day, the house was scraped and the foundation was dug.

The next day, some bluestone was picked and smashed on the bottom of the foundation, leveled with gravel and then covered with cement.

Needless to say, Yu Huaihai is still very powerful. In the morning, I personally brought the cement glass and 10 pieces of tofu together with Master Ban. It is really easy for someone in the yamen to handle things.

The tofu was given to him by Xiaodu last night, so the food can’t be the same every day, so it’s an extra meal at noon, stewed tofu in soy sauce.

Yu Huaihai's grandson slipped out of work, he is so immortal.

When the timber arrived in the afternoon, Master Cui started to get busy. He was going to leave 8 strong guys, and 2 of them were dexterous to help him.

He is going to start ordering beams, knocking on windows, and knocking on doors.

Carpentry work is much more pleasing to the eye than masonry work. Watching the broken wood turn into wooden strips, and then slowly turn into windows and doors, is really the gospel for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

At this time, we can see the true skills of Master Cui. There are 5 windows, 10 in total, and 5 sets of window frames. The work was done abruptly. This efficiency is really scary!
It can completely keep up with the speed of building a house, and no time is wasted.

According to Master Cui, it takes a lot of work to make furniture, and the doors and windows are easy to make. Besides, this rural house does not pay attention to fineness and beauty, but it is much easier to make it as long as it is durable.

It is true that Xiao Du did not intend to buy furniture for this side. Xiao Du has always understood the truth that too much is too much.

Besides, Master Cui also said that the original furniture can basically be used, and some simple repairs will do.

Although the work of a bricklayer is not good-looking, the results are absolute. In one day, two brick houses have been erected, and even the kang has been finished, which shows how terrible the efficiency is.

With Yin Laoliu's supervision and advice, the house was built solidly and straightly, and even the window frames were inlaid, which is simply pleasing to the eye.

The onlookers have been a little numb from shock these two days, and the unconvinced carpenter and bricklayer in the village wanted to kneel down to worship the teacher after watching it for a while.

Impressed.

Fortunately, for the sake of God, these two days are sunny days. After the bricks and cement dry overnight, we will make chimneys and install beams and tiles tomorrow.

God like speed.

On the morning of the third day, the chimney had been repaired, and the kang and the stove had been ignited, and there must be no problem.

In the afternoon, Yin Laoliu and Cui Carpenter were absolutely golden partners when they put up the beams and roof tiles.

When Yin Laoliu repaired the chimney in the morning, Carpenter Cui made the door.

While Carpenter Cui was putting up beams to make the roof, Yin Laoliu was grinding the walls with cement.

When Yin Lao Liu put on the tiles, Cui carpenter installed the windows.

So on the third day, the two tile-roofed houses had already been erected. In fact, they could already live in people, but the kang still needed to be done.

It's just that the temporary shed is gone, the bricks are basically used up, and there are less than 100 yuan left, and the tiles are almost the same.

Ding Kemao.

On the fourth day, the kang was completely dry, Yin Laoliu and Ni repaired the wall again, and built a small hut with adobe and the remaining bricks and tiles.Everything that could be used in the adobe was used, and everything that could not be used was shoveled away.

Carpenter Cui painted the window frames and doors, repaired the furniture, installed electric lights in the house, laid mats on the kang, and assembled a courtyard door with various boards. Although it was rough, it stood upright.

When dinner was approaching in the afternoon, all the furniture was moved into the house, and the whole yard was cleaned from inside to outside. Comrade Xiao Du didn't come until the afternoon on the fourth day.

I brought 20 catties of pork, 6 chickens, 1 box of white wine, 20 catties of rice, 20 catties of white noodles, and 100 catties of stick noodles.

The new house was cooking, and Mrs. Zuo cried while cooking, like a tearful person. She lived in a brick house for 5 days, and the food tank at home was almost overflowing.

When did we live such a good life, Niuniu also cried, asking over and over again: "Can we live here forever?"
