Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 71 New House Decoration
Lu Changhua sent the two little black dogs home.

Xiong Bao was very curious when he saw these two little guys.

Walk around them.

He also arched his mouth and smelled their scent.

Perhaps because it smelled Lu Changhua's scent, it jumped up and down in front of the two dogs and was extremely excited.

On the first day they arrived at home, the two little guys were still a little uncomfortable. They kept crawling around on the ground, looking for that once warm embrace.

As long as Lu Changhua is holding them, they will be stable, and they will scream when they let go, which is very urgent.

This is treating him as a mother.

Seeing her son bring back two puppies, Mother Lu complained, "There are so many dogs at home, how can we have room for them!"

Saying this, he went out and asked for a small bottle of goat's milk to feed the two little guys.

Xiong Bao was lying on the side and watching.

"Mom, I will go to the field department tomorrow, and I will leave the puppy to you."

"Worrying blindly."

He went to find Lao Lu and asked him to roll out an ice rink like last year.

Lao Lu is familiar with this job.

"no problem."

He went to the reservoir again and told Hu Dagui about the ice rink and asked him to rent out the skates. Anyway, he was idle in winter.

Lu Changhua took a bus to the field department the next afternoon.

In Lu Changzhong's new house, Lao Lu and the master bricklayer were working on the wall. Both of them were covered in dust.

Lu Changhua, who was tired of work, came in.

Lao Lu said: "Son, the things have been delivered, please see if they are missing."

"where is it?"

"Put it in the back room."

Lu Changhua took out the cigarette, handed it to Lao Lu and the master bricklayer, and lit it for them.

"Have a cigarette and take a break."

"Xiao Lu, the things you bought are very trendy. I don't know how to use them yet."

"It's okay. You'll understand it as soon as you say it. It's very simple."

After saying that, he went into the back room and looked at the things he bought.

"Nothing less, nothing bad either."

Lu Changhua came out and said with a smile.

The rest is a matter of effort.

In the evening, Lu Changzhong came back and saw that the walls of the three houses had been treated. The wall covering and sand and dust shoveled off the walls had been put into more than a dozen woven bags and piled in the yard.

The plastering and leveling will be done tomorrow.

"Dad, I'll take leave tomorrow. It's okay anyway. I'll help."

How dare Lu Changzhong really not care about anything? !

If you don’t contribute money, you have to put in some effort, otherwise how can you make sense? !
Zhao Yan couldn’t agree either.

In the past two days, Zhao Yan came to deliver meals at noon and evening. Although they were meals from the canteen, she was satisfied.

"It's up to you. It depends on your work situation. If it delays work, don't come."

"Ok, I know."

In the past two nights, Lao Lu and the master bricklayer crowded into the dormitory with Lu Changzhong. Lu Changhua had to squeeze in with him when he came. There was no way, and there was no need to keep opening a guest house.

"Brother, if you're busy, don't come. There are too many people now and we can't use them."

"Haha, I'd better work with you."

While the others were talking, Zhao Yan came back on her bicycle.

I brought some lunch boxes.

Lu Changzhong took the lunch box and the two of them walked in together.

The room was empty, and there were no tables or chairs. The lunch boxes could only be placed on the windowsill, and several people gathered around to eat.

"Sister-in-law, would you like to eat some too?"

"I've eaten in the cafeteria, you can eat."

The three of them were not polite. After eating and tidying up, they turned off the lights, locked the door and left.

The next day, Lu Changzhong went to work to ask for leave. Lao Lu took the bricklayer and Lu Changhua to the new house first.

Someone has already brought river sand to the courtyard.

At this moment, the strength of the young man is revealed.

After setting up the sieve, Lu Changhua picked up the shovel and started to lift the sand onto the sieve.

The coarser sand remains at the bottom of the sieve, while the finer sand accumulates behind the sieve.

Although the weather was cold at the moment, there was no wind or snow, and the sun was still warm. Within half an hour, Lu Changhua was sweating.

Hundreds of kilograms of fine sand have been sifted out from behind the sieve.

"Mix it first."

The master bricklayer said hello, and Lao Lu took the wicker basket and went to load the sand.

"Dad, I'm coming."

Lu Changhua grabbed the basket, filled most of it with a shovel, and the two of them carried it into the house.

Pour the fine sand on the cement floor of the living room.

The master bricklayer brought in a bag of cement, chopped the brown paper bag with a shovel, rubbed the shovel a few times, poured it into the fine sand, and mixed it.

Mix well and then add water.

He personally holds the shovel and controls the temperature of the fire.

After mixing, he pulled the horse stand and stood on it with a clay pallet and an iron trowel.

He pointed to the tire barrel below and said, "Dust it."

Lu Changhua picked up a shovel and filled three shovels of ashes into the leather bucket.

He stuck the shovel in the ashes, picked up the bucket, and with both hands, he threw the bucket onto the horse stand.

At this moment, the master bricklayer had already put a cigarette in his mouth. The cigarette butt was clearly extinguished, and a puff of green smoke filled the air.

He tapped the mud support board with an iron trowel and scraped it twice. Then he bent down and picked up three trowels of dust with the trowel and threw them on the mud support board.

He straightened up and puffed out a puff of smoke from the corner of his mouth.

I squinted at the cracks in the roof and wall, and confidently used the trowel to pour the dust back and forth on the mud support board a few times. I suddenly threw a piece of dust on the wall, and then used the iron trowel to apply hard on the wall. With one wipe, a thin layer of dust was smeared on the wall.

The master bricklayer didn't stop and soon plastered half of the wall, making it smooth and smooth.

Lu Changhua was very busy under the horse stand.

Lao Lu was sifting sand outside and pouring the coarse stones aside, leaving the fine sand in a separate pile.

When the mixed ash was used up, the master on the horse stand stopped.

He sat on the shelf, pointed to the ash pile on the ground and said, "Xiao Lu, mix it like I do."

"Master, I'm afraid that if I don't mix well, I'll delay your work." "It's okay, you can't learn, what are you afraid of?!"

"Row."

Lu Changhua lit the cigarette for the master, went out and carried the fine sand in with his father, and then under the guidance of the master bricklayer, he followed the example of mixing it.

After applying ashes, the master said:
"If it's not mixed evenly, the proportions are wrong and there's too much water."

However, he still used the pot of clay.

With the experience of the previous pot, the mixing in this pot will be much better.

"It's not bad this time."

While the three of them were busy working, Lu Changzhong arrived.

He was pushing a cart with two iron pots in it.

He took the iron pot into the kitchen, sat in the stove, and then came out to help.

He didn't know how to do any other work, so he took over the job of sifting sand.

Lao Lu came in and mixed the ashes, while Lu Changhua put on the ashes.

With one more person, the division of labor is more detailed, and the work efficiency is much higher.

Soon the walls of the living room were plastered, and the battle was moved to the back bedroom.

It took two days to plaster and level the walls of three rooms.

Several people opened the earth dragon and took out the old ash inside. This ash alone filled five or six woven bags.

The fire bed in the bedroom was also opened and the ashes inside were cleared away.

There was no firewood in the new house, so Lu Changzhong went to the lumber factory with a shameless face and asked for two carts of planks to use as firewood.

He is said to be a tough guy, can Lao Jia really give him a tough guy?Instead, some unfinished lumber was sawn into firewood and delivered.

They also specially sent a lot of pine wood scraps.

The two brothers split the pine wood into chopstick-sized twigs, put them into the stove first, started the fire with old newspapers, and stuffed them through the furnace hole.

Soon the flames licked the pine branches, and small flames spread among the branches. The pine oil bubbled sizzlingly, and puffs of green smoke lingered in the furnace.

The scent of pine soon filled the entire kitchen.

Seeing that the fire was strong, Lu Changzhong brought a piece of old elm wood.

The two of them split the lump of hard wood into two halves and then put it in from the top of the stove.

The fire was pressed, and black smoke billowed instantly.

Lu Changhua quickly covered the stove ring.

Soon, plumes of choking black smoke came out of the earth dragon and the fire kang.

The master bricklayer hurriedly picked up the ashes and dealt with them, patching up what needed to be done and wiping over what needed to be done.

The earth dragon in the living room quickly warmed up.

Moisture rose from the freshly put covers and damp ground.

The heated kang also gradually became hotter.

The stove was underground, and the furnace was red and rumbling.

Soon the iron hoop turned red.

Lao Lu came in from outside the house.

"There's smoke coming out of the chimney, it's not bad."

"It seems that the previous master was also a master and did a good job."

The master bricklayer praised.

Even he admired the craftsmanship of the Earth Dragon Fire Kang.

"Burn the pot."

Lao Lu commanded.

"Okay, I'll go."

Lu Changzhong went next door and asked for an armful of bean straw and started burning it.

Soon, smoke began to rise from the iron pot, and the bottom of the pot turned red.

Lao Lu threw the prepared pork skin into the pot.

Hey~~
Green smoke was rising, and a smell of barbecue filled the place.

Lao Lu used a wooden stick to pound the meat skin and rotate it in circles in the pot. The lard gathered on the red bottom of the pot, and the place where the lard passed over began to turn blue.

After the entire pot was rubbed with pig skin and the smoke went out, Lao Lu said, "That's it, let's wash it with water."

Lu Changzhong was busy washing the pot, and Lao Lu also lit another stove.

Use the same method to open the pot.

Lao Lu nodded and said, "Yes, the force is strong and the firepower is sufficient."

The stove has been burning for three days in a row, and the room can no longer be described as warm, but like a sauna.

The earth dragon fire kang and the wall removed the moisture and gradually dried.

During the past few days of dehumidification, the masters from the lumber factory came and replaced the door frames and doors of several rooms.

The master bricklayer patched up the gaps in the corners of the door frame.

This can be painted white.

Newspapers and cardboard boxes were found on the ground and the heated kang, and construction began.

This work relies on labor.

It took two days to paint three rooms.

The house is painted white and looks clean and bright.

But one thing is that it cannot be relied upon.

Dust falls off whenever you lean on it, and white dust gets stuck on your clothes.

However, we are not afraid. Didn’t we just buy paint?

The white ash dried quickly under the baking of earth dragon and fire kang.

Paint directly.

Draw a waistline on the wall, paint white paint above the waistline, and paint green paint below the waistline.

The tiles above the kitchen stove were removed and replaced with new tiles.

With this tidying up, the new house has a completely new look.

Once the chandelier is installed on the ceiling and the wall lamp is installed in place, the feeling of a new house will come out.

That was done, everything was moved out of the new house and the floors started to be painted.

I painted it brown three times.

The door was kept open for ventilation, and the ground dragon never stopped.

The smell of paint is strong and harmful to the body. As long as the ventilation time is long enough and the smell dissipates, there will be no problem.

You know, it's only the end of December, and it's still half a year before they get married.
