Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 201 The House
"Director Li, how are you going to build it? Do you still follow the original style?"

"That's right, Captain Yang, I have an idea, see if it can be realized."

"Well, Director Li, tell me."

"I want to get a bathroom at home, but the one with flush water, do you think it's easy to get out of the water, and will it smell like water?"

"This..." Lao Yang hesitated as soon as he heard it, and after thinking about it, he said: "Director Li, let's not talk about whether you can go into the water. The key is that if you want to move the main pipeline, you need the approval of the office."

"Just say you can go or not, and I will handle the rest." Li Heng waved his hand indifferently.

He has already told the office about these things, and he can do whatever he wants, and if it breaks, he can pay for the repairs.

"If you say that, it's easy to handle. It's easy to do the water. Let's raise the bathroom a little bit, which is equivalent to raising the foundation of the house, so that the water will have momentum. As for whether it will be smelly, sure. It will be a little bit, but the sewer pipe has a bend, so it won't be too exaggerated."

on!
Li Heng clapped his hands in a happy mood. One went to the toilet and the other took a shower. These are the two problems he wanted to solve this time. Since the toilet can be repaired, the bathroom is not a problem.

"Captain Yang, my request is that there must be a toilet in the yard, and a bathroom in the house. As for other aspects, this is your specialty, and it's up to you."

"Director Li, I have seen the No. [-] courtyard you mentioned before, so I know the size and layout of the courtyard better. Do you want more houses when you build a house, or is it better to keep the courtyard large?"

"Of course the yard is big. Do you have pens and paper here?"

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, I will go get it."

The two people who wrote, wrote, and painted pictures discussed for more than an hour before finalizing the preliminary plan.

"Captain Yang, you must have been building this house for many years. I just want to know whether this wooden house is strong or not. For example, if there is an earthquake, will it collapse?"

"Earth...Earthquake? Director Li, why are you worrying about this?" Lao Yang couldn't laugh or cry when Li Heng asked him this question.

This made him how to answer, the house he built has not yet experienced an earthquake, and how can he know whether it will collapse.

"Prepare for a rainy day, I mean the house must be built solidly."

"Don't worry about that." Lao Yang slapped his chest loudly.

"The people in our construction team are all veterans who have been working for decades. I dare not say anything else. The quality is absolutely fine. By the way, Director Li, I forgot to ask, what material do you plan to use for the wood? ?”

"the best!"

The meaning is concise, but Lao Yang frowned, what is the best?Isn't this stuff all piled up with money?

"Director Li, I'm afraid you don't understand yet, this good material is not cheap."

Speaking of this, Lao Yang turned his head and looked at the yard, and saw that the only two people left in the yard were still playing chess with cats, and they didn't pay attention to this side, so he moved closer to Li Heng and spoke in a low voice for a while.

In the end, he straightened up and continued: "I, Lao Yang, speak straight, so don't worry about it, Director Li, the wood alone costs nearly a thousand yuan, and that's not counting our labor costs, and the floor needs to be paved. Those blue bricks, and the sand and cement that will be used.

Buy these things and put them in a pile. Anyone with a discerning eye can know the approximate price at a glance. You are a leading cadre. Have you thought about how to explain it when you spend such a large amount of money? "

Li Heng didn't expect that this old Yang could still think for him, so he was slightly taken aback, and then smiled.

"Don't worry Captain Yang, my money comes from aboveboard, you don't have to worry about it."

"That's okay..." After the owner said so, Lao Yang nodded his head very simply.

"Then Director Li, I can help you find the owner of the wood. You can negotiate the specific price yourself. For other things like blue bricks, cement, sand and tiles, do you buy them yourself or what?"

"No, no, no, Captain Yang, I'll leave these to you. What to buy and how much you need to buy. Go look at the yard later. After the budget is figured out, I will pay you the money. The same goes for wood. You can talk to them about the price. You think it's almost okay, I don't understand this at all.

I just have one requirement, things must be good, they must be good, and I will send knowledgeable people over to check them from time to time.

Let's put the ugly words first, so that things will be easier to deal with in the future. If I find out that there are shoddy things, let alone Lao Chen's introduction, even Lao Chen's father's introduction will not work. "

"What you said is reasonable. Those of us who work can raise the quotation, but we must never do shoddy things. Don't worry about this. You are welcome to send us any time after we start working. people to monitor."

"By the way, Captain Yang..."

"Director Li, I have always wanted to correct you, but I didn't bother. You should call me Lao Yang. It sounds good."

"Okay, Lao Yang, when can you start working?"

"We can do it tomorrow. It just so happens that there is nothing to do. I took over a small job to repair the roof two days ago, and it just finished this morning."

"That's perfect. Here, here's the key to the yard over there. The lock is a bit difficult to open. You can twist it a little longer, and I'll change it for a new one later."

Li Heng took out a long key from his pocket and put it on the stone table.

"Okay, I'll go there early tomorrow morning to measure the size, and the yard needs to be cleaned up, Director Li, I'll post the sketches later, where can I find you, the No. [-] courtyard of our alley? "

"I'm usually at home at night. If it's daytime, you can go to the department store and find me."

"to make"

"Old Yang, according to your estimation, how long will it take to build the building so that people can live there?"

"It's up to you. If you're willing to spend more on labor, then I'll find a few more people from the idle work team in other offices. If it's just our work team, it will be around this time next year, and it will be freezing in winter." I won’t be able to do a lot of work in the future.”

"At this time next year?" Li Heng's eyes widened. This was a bit beyond his expectation. He thought why it would not be the end of next year.

"Old Yang, time is so fast, is it okay to live?"

"Director Li, you don't know us well. When we build this kind of house, it takes at most one year for normal people. Of course, this also includes the days when we stop working in winter. If we start construction in March, we will finish it before the freeze. gone."

At this speed, it’s no wonder that the high-rise building in the south can build one floor in a day.

"Then you are like my house, how about adding more people?"

"Let's think about it, carpenters, bricklayers... It's the end of June now, four full months... Director Li, hehe, if you are willing to pay a little more, we can work continuously day and night. In this case, It is guaranteed that you can live in it in November, and the quality is not bad."

Looking at the simple and honest Lao Yang, a shrewd look flashed across his face at this moment.
