I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 48, Bamboo and the Great Front Door

He said that water pipes are used for passing water. With water pipes, there is no need to go to the well to fetch water.

"The water in the well, how do you make the water flow from the bottom of the well to the house automatically?"

Chen Shijie became more and more curious, "Are you planning to buy a water pump? Then your monthly electricity bill will be very high, and the gain outweighs the gain."

For many years, he pretended to be mysterious and smiled, saying:
"Although the electric pump is good, it's not suitable for me. As for what method I use, Shanren has his own clever plan, so I won't make a fool of myself."

"Father, it suddenly occurred to me that it is possible to use bamboo instead of cast iron pipes. I'll go back first, goodbye."

He suddenly remembered that maybe a bamboo tube could be used.

Although the durability of the bamboo pipe is poor, it is not as high-profile as the cast iron pipe, which is obviously more convenient and saves a lot of money.

Bamboo in the north is different from that in the south.

Due to the climate, the bamboo in the north does not grow very large, and it is generally not as good as the bamboo in the south.

Looking at the many years who ran away suddenly, Old Xu was stunned, and Chen Shijie also shook his head.

Sure enough, young people just can't hold their breath.

Even if he ran fast, otherwise, Chen Shijie would have been fooled for many years today.

Buying water pipes, proper corruption, every report will be accurate.

When he came out of the rolling mill, it took him many years to touch the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

Almost floated away!

Fortunately, Lao Xu's violent reaction and the inexplicable Chen Shijie woke him up.

In this era, there are still many pitfalls.

In his opinion, it is an ordinary thing, but in this era, it is shocking.

He has forgotten that resources such as iron were very scarce in the first 20 years of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Since it is scarce, if you want to buy it, you will be strictly restricted.

It's okay to build a house, but the water pipes are really corrupt.

There are bamboo forests in the suburbs of Beijing, and they are still wild bamboo forests.

Some time ago, he visited several rivers in the capital and knew where there were bamboos.

So, without further ado, he ran directly to the nearby bamboo forest to check the bamboo first.

Then he came to a nearby village and asked someone from the cooperative to borrow a hatchet.

At this time, his work permit showed a strong usefulness.

The village head of the cooperative and a few old men checked their work permits for many years, and their attitude took a 180-degree turn.

They even wanted to give back the three cigarettes that they had received for many years.

Daqianmen is an excellent cigarette, but it is also very expensive.

Even, regarding the matter of wanting to cut bamboo for many years, the village head directly waved his hand, and they made it round.

Anyway, there are not many bamboos needed for many years, only twenty in total.

I have tried to stop it for many years, but it is too late.

In less than half an hour, the village chief and his men chopped down ten bamboos that had been promising for many years.

The size is consistent and the bamboo is straight enough.

Each strip is about three to four meters in length, and twenty bamboos are added together, which is six to seventy meters in length.

Remove some unusable bamboo, so the length of bamboo that can be used should be about 50 meters.

In fact, this is just an approximate calculation. How much is needed will be re-measured at that time.

But it should be about the same.

"You have worked hard, and I didn't bring anything. I'm really sorry. I'll give you these two packs of cigarettes."

Many years was a bit embarrassing, but he wanted to give the two packs of the big front door to the village chief, but the latter dared not accept it.

too expensive!
"We have done nothing to ask for your cigarettes."

"How can you say nothing? You cut down these bamboos for me. It's only two packs of cigarettes. Put them away!"

The two sides pushed back and forth, and finally the village chief only wanted the bag that had been opened, but he didn't dare to take the unopened bag.

A bag of Daqianmen costs [-] cents, and a catty of pork is only [-] cents.

They just helped cut twenty bamboos, which is nothing.

It would be too greedy if you really took two packs of Daqianmen for many years.

After many years of leaving with twenty bamboos on my shoulders, I still sigh in my heart, people in this era are simple and kind!

Bamboo is very heavy. After all, it is so long and there are a lot of it. It is all wet weight, let alone more than 100 catties.

For many years of young and strong, it is not too heavy.

The only trouble is that it is quite troublesome to fight from the suburbs to the city.

On the way, many people stared at him.

There are even many little kids chasing after many years.

By the time he returned to the courtyard with the bamboo on his back, more than an hour had passed.

The whole process is measured by feet, and the speed must be very slow.

"Wow, third brother, why did you bring so much bamboo back? You're exhausted, let's put it down quickly..."

In the front yard, at the door of the kitchen, Xu Wumei stood up in surprise when she saw her third brother.

While stepping forward to help, he said in a complaining tone, very worried.

Qin Huairu, who was in the kitchen, ran out after hearing the news.

I am also worried when I see so many and so long bamboos being carried for many years.

"Don't move, I'll do it. These bamboos are going to be put in the middle courtyard, not here."

Calling the two of them aside, it was many years before continuing to walk to the middle courtyard.

Now the sun is about to set, and Fan Guiming and the others are about to finish their work for the day in the side room of the middle courtyard.

In summer, the sky darkens slowly.

So now the sun is still hanging in the sky, unwilling to set for a long time.

The gossiping Zhou Hongmei and others helped while chatting with neighbors and master masons.

It was not until the bamboo was put into the yard for many years that everyone's curiosity was aroused.

"Third, where did you cut so many bamboos?"

"Yeah, his third uncle, what are these bamboos for? Is it a support column for the formwork? It's too thin..."

"Could it be used as a water pipe?"

As the saying goes, three women play one show.

There were more than three women in the yard, chattering for a while, very lively.

Jia Zhang, who was eating melon seeds at the door of his house, was in a happy mood.

Seeing many years appearing with bamboo on his shoulders, his old face was pulled down, and he turned and went back to the house.

Out of sight out of mind!

Chun Dang hasn't seen it for many years, and hasn't explained too much to everyone.

He stacked the bamboo, and then went to the septic tank at the door of the ear room to check Master Fan's workmanship.

Needless to say, they are all very powerful masons, and their ability to plaster and build walls is first-rate.

After a quick glance, I have not used a horizontal ruler for many years, and I am sure that there is no problem.

The progress is fairly fast, and it is estimated that the septic tank can be fixed the day after tomorrow.

As for the covers of the septic tanks, all the cement panels are directly made of molds, and it will be fine to cover them directly at that time.

These are relatively simple.

The trouble is the pouring of the load-bearing columns in the house and the exposed surface on the second floor, which has a relatively high technical content.
