Siheyuan: starting from prying the corner of the silly column

Chapter 134 Renovating the House

Ma Hua was not in a hurry, and chatted with a few people who were willing to work.

Nothing else, just asking questions like "Have you ever done this job before?" "Where is your home?"

When asked about those four people, the leader of the four was an old man in his 60s and [-]s, with long and messy eyebrows. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to MCA: "Look, comrade, this is the certificate issued by our production team. .”

"We, the four masons who built the house, did a good job. We came to the city to earn some money to subsidize the production team."

"You can rest assured."

Still have to use this method to subsidize the production team?
Ma Hua lowered his head and looked at it. It said "Qinzhuang Production Brigade" and looked at Qin Jingru: "Is this from your production team?"

Qin Jingru took a look: "Qin Zhuang? I'm Xiao Qin Zhuang."

Then he asked these four people: "Is there a river at the head of the village in your Qinzhuang village?"

"There is a river, called Qianjin River." The old man in the lead said, "Comrade, are you from Xiaoqinzhuang?"

"We are all one Qin. Little Qinzhuang was moved out of Qinzhuang later. When the former ancestral temple was not converted into a primary school, the ancestors of our two villages were together."

"The current 'top leader' of Xiaoqinzhuang Brigade is called Qin Dewang."

Qin Jingru nodded: "Yes, what you said is correct, what's your name?"

"My name is Qin Deli, and I'm also from the word 'De'." The old man said.

Qin Jingru said with a smile: "Then I have to call 'you' uncle! My dad is also a 'de' generation!"

"Comrade, you are being too polite!" Qin Deli said hastily, "You have married into the city and become a city resident, how can you talk about your seniority with us?"

"Your words are polite." Ma Hua said, "The people in the city are also from the countryside, so it should be."

He also asked Qin Deli about his work, and then he learned that they came out to make money and subsidies to the production team, and then handed over some to the production team when they went back, and kept some for themselves. After all, the income was much better than that of dull work.

Besides, if you stay in the production team and eat sweet potatoes, you can still see the world and eat some oil when you come out to work. Who in the production team would not want to come out?

Only those who are capable can come out and get this precious opportunity.

Therefore, masons must be recognized as good before they have the face to work.

When Ma Hua heard this, he knew it well.

With the proof of the Qinzhuang production team, the character and ability of these four people will not be much worse.

"Okay, sir, it would be better for you to go and see the house with us."

Ma Hua and Qin Jingru led Qin Deli back to the courtyard.

When he came to Ma Hua's house, Qin Deli took a look inside and outside the hut, and said in his heart: This hut is not spacious, it is far worse than the countryside.

Taking another look at the soles of Qin Jingru's put down shoes, he felt that their lives were not so well off.

After listening to Mahua's request, Qin Deli began to think about how to save money for their family, how much materials should be bought, and save as much as possible.

MCA’s request is that the rear windows be enlarged to become windows of more than one meter; a window next to the door is also more than one meter, which is to allow ventilation in spring, summer and autumn without being stuffy.

Spread soil on the ground and lay a layer of floor tiles to prevent moisture from rising. By the way, the circuit was modified and new wires were replaced.

Finally paint the wall completely.

In this way, even if the house is in the shade, it will not be able to hold back the moisture.

It only needs MCA to install a ventilating fan, plus an electric fan. The lights are usually on, which consumes a little more electricity and electricity.

After Ma Hua finished speaking, Qin Deli looked at him with some embarrassment.

"Originally, those of us who work, what the master has ordered us to do, we will do whatever..."

"However, it will cost a lot of money to prepare according to your method. I think the life of you two is not easy. You still have to pay for the soles of your shoes, so there is no need to make it too perfect. First, open the windows and damp-proof soil. Is it almost there?"

He was kind enough to remind Ma Hua and Qin Jingru that your life is not easy, so don't spend too much money.

Ma Hua said: "Master, don't worry, I saved a little money before, and my family also gave me some money, the money is still enough."

"After all, it's a house for people to live in. Once it's all cleaned up, it will last a long time in the future. This way you can live for a long time and feel more comfortable."

"It's okay for you to think so, then I will estimate the materials for you according to what you said." Qin Deli heard that Ma Hua had already prepared, so he stopped persuading, but began to estimate the approximate materials in his heart.

Loess, lime, cement, chalk, floor tiles, windows, wires, etc...

Qin Deli talked about the general materials, Ma Hua wrote them down in notes, and bought them tomorrow, and the four of Qin Deli came to start the construction the day after tomorrow.

In one day, the four laborers have to lay the floor tiles, change the windows, pull the wires, and paint the walls.

Mahua asked them about their wages, Qin Deli waved his hand: "You will see to it then."

"When our daughter of the Qin family marries you, you are the son-in-law of the Qin family. The price will be discussed after the work is done!"

Ma Hua smiled: "Okay, if you say so, I will listen to you."

"However, I am the son-in-law of the Qin family. You can no longer call me comrade. You can call me Ma Hua."

Qin Deli saw that he didn't look down on himself and the others, so he nodded again and again, and shook hands with Ma Hua: "You—"

"Call me Ma Hua." Ma Hua reminded.

"Hey, Ma Hua, you prepare the materials tomorrow, and the four of us will come to work the day after tomorrow."

As Qin Deli said, he turned his head and said to the other three people: "But you should work hard and work hard. You can't disgrace our Qin family in front of our Qin family's son-in-law!"

The other three nodded quickly.

The four of them said goodbye and left.

Ma Hua and Qin Jingru stayed with them for dinner, but they didn't eat and left in a hurry.

After they left, He Yushui came: "These four people helped your house repair just now?"

"Yep."

Qin Jingru frowned when she said this: "Mahua, if the walls of our house are painted, it will take a day or two to dry out and move in. Where shall we live at night?"

Ma Hua also pondered for a moment.

It will be two days before returning to Ma's house, and this option has been ruled out from the beginning.

The reason why Ma Hua remodeled his home was not to inform his father and elder brother Ma Zhong, because he didn't want to listen to their ideas, and followed his own ideas to do what was best.

To let them know about the transformation and participation of the MCA family, MCA must first talk to them about the cost; after all, the family has been separated, so it is better not to let them worry too much.

Going back to Ma's house for two days is tantamount to telling them.

"It's really not possible, find a hotel to stay for two days." Ma Hua said.

He Yushui snorted immediately: "What's this called, what kind of hotel do you want to go to?"

"Where can't I find a place to live temporarily for two days?"

Ma Hua explained: "It's not that I can't find it, but it's too troublesome. I'm not even going to tell my dad about it, so I don't plan to go back to Ma's house."

He Yushui said: "That's easy!"

"The two of you live in my room, and I will find my classmate Yu Haitang to stay for two days."

Ma Hua suddenly laughed: "That's good!"

"Rainwater, do we count as 'raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while'?"

He Yushui thought about it carefully: "So, if you use my house once, you will have to support me for three years in the future."

"Raising you for three years?" Qin Jingru laughed so hard, "Our family is happy, but I'm afraid your husband's family is not happy. What's the matter with our newly married daughter-in-law?"

He Yushui held his chin in melancholy: "It's back to my in-law's house!"

"My partner from years ago got married yesterday, and I only found out today."

"Just because my brother was sneaking around and playing tricks with widows! Their family kicked me! Who will I marry in the future, and where can I find my husband's family?"

"Don't be afraid of the rain, we will have dinner with our family in the future, you will be indispensable." Qin Jingru said.

She got along really well with He Yushui, that's why she said this.

After deciding on the accommodation the day after tomorrow, they chatted again, took out the soles of their shoes, and He Yushui went back to the house.

Ma Hua and Qin Jingru also went to bed early.

Qin Huairu didn't come today, the sticky matter almost annoyed her to death.

In the deep night, a lame skillfully bypassed the cross-patrol of the patrol team and touched a house.

Feeling in the dark, buckled the ground, and reached out to touch it, the box was empty.

Touching again, I touched the small flagon on the ground.

"Hold!"

The third child limped and cursed, turned on a small flashlight, scanned it, and saw the cloth bag on the ground, his lame leg was almost healed, and ran into the yard in a hurry.

The broken vat was opened, the covering soil was dug up, and there was nothing inside.

There is a bubble of shit.

I don't know where the wild dogs came from. Seeing that the pit is perfect, I pulled it in.

My savings!my money!
The third lame couldn't bear it any longer, and yelled angrily, "Who the hell did this!"

"Who's there? What?"

The patrol team across the street heard the voice and asked, and the third lame immediately put away the small flashlight and fled into the night.
