Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 409 Rectify Master Gu

Of course, Liu Ya didn't understand that the lighting was good and lamp oil was saved.I heard Liu Xuer say something before, saying that when building a new house, the doors and windows must be made bigger. Although it is afraid of the wind in winter, it can be solved by pasting an extra layer of window paper and adding a cotton curtain at the door. .

There are also those who have sick people at home, like Liu Dacheng who has bad legs and feet and needs to stay indoors all year round. If the sun is sufficient, they can bask in the sun by the window without going out.But as soon as it moves to the west, the sunshine time in the morning and evening is counted, at least one hour less.Not to mention the cost of lamp oil, if there is little sunshine in winter, it will be cold in the house.

Liu Ya said: "Over there, definitely not. You can't move the whole house for the sake of better soil quality. And there is much less sunlight over there."

Liu Xu'er nodded and said, "As I said just now, it's too close to the foot of the mountain, and the mountain wind is also strong. But Master Gu also said that the soil quality is good. I wondered if it would be convenient for growing vegetables? But I didn't dare Promise."

Liu Ya shook Liu Xu'er's hand, gave her an encouraging smile, and praised her for not agreeing to this matter easily.Then he turned to Chunniu again and asked, "What did Siping say? Is it true that the foundation cannot be dug here?"

Chunniu looked at Master Gu and then at Siping, seeming a little embarrassed.But after a little thought, he said: "Siping doesn't mean that it can't be dug, but we still have to look at the size of the rocks below. If it's all small rocks, just dig them out. But it's hard to say if it's a big rock."

Liu Ya understands that Master Gu is Siping's senior brother, and what he said is not unreasonable.Chun Niu must not be able to talk to death in front of Master Gu, and if there is room for it, it means that she can dig.Therefore, Liu Ya knew it in her heart.

Liu Ya also followed Master Gu's example and rubbed the ground. In fact, she couldn't see anything at all, and then asked: "Then if our current house is knocked down, how about rebuilding on the original site? Is that okay?"

"It's fine, and the location is good. It takes time to knock down the house, and it takes time to clean up the original site. You can find coolies to do this job, or let our team do it. If it's us. , the time may be a bit slower, but the cleaning is also clean. At that time, places will be reserved wherever pilings and pits are to be dug. If you find coolies to do it, it will be a laborious job without any skills. Just push out the old adobe bricks and thatch."

After Master Gu finished speaking, he asked Liu Ya again: "Little girl, you should think about it. If you really want to tear down the house, it's not something that can be built in a day or two. Where do your family live these days? "

After Liu Xu'er finished listening, she also looked at Liu Ya nervously, for fear that she would simply agree.

Liu Ya nodded, and asked again: "In this way, it is really unreasonable to push away the old house and rebuild it. What if we move it to the village? If we move another twenty steps into the village, can we build a house there?"

Master Gu heard that Liu Ya had changed places again, turned his head to look in that direction, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it yet, it's not far from your home, how about I go check it out now?"

Liu Ya nodded and said: "Then please trouble Master Gu. Help us see if the location over there is suitable for building a house."

Master Gu didn't say anything, took a shovel from a companion beside him, and walked towards the location Liu Ya said.His companions also followed, and the three of them were busy with their shovels and shovels.

Chun Niu looked at the three busy people over there, and said softly to Liu Ya: "Ya'er, I didn't expect this brother from Siping to be like this. Siping really doesn't understand the matter of digging the foundation, and he is very particular about the soil layer. Literate, Siping deaf-mute, illiterate, his master didn't teach him back then. I guess it was because of this, this master Gu just picked the conditions before he didn't work. I thought it would be easy to talk to an acquaintance. "

Liu Ya smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay, I've seen what they mean a long time ago. This kind of thing is normal, people rely on this for a living. Sometimes it's difficult for acquaintances to talk."

Chun Niu said with a troubled face: "How about I send them back and let's go find another mason?"

"Actually, it's the same for anyone to look for. They don't pick faults here, and there are problems elsewhere. In the end, they are smart in their calculations, and we still have to spend the money we should spend. But you don't have to say anything for a while, let's see what I do That's enough." After finishing speaking, Liu Ya pointed to Siping and said, "Quietly ask your Siping, how much does his senior brother usually pay for helping someone choose a place."

"Oh, okay, let me ask." Chun Niu hurriedly turned her head to ask Siping, and after asking with gestures, she turned to Liu Ya and said, "Siping said that there is no money to choose a place. Masons are hired Let’s look at the address, it’s part of his job to build the house, otherwise the master will have to pay for the loss if he finds it can’t be built after the construction starts.”

Liu Ya nodded, and said: "That's easy. It's okay, the house will be built here, I know it."

When Liu Ya, Chun Niu, and Si Ping had made up their minds, Master Gu also came back with his two companions.After digging for a while, Master Gu's face was covered with sweat.While wiping with his sleeve, he replied: "It's okay over there, the soil layer is thick and not loose. As long as no buildings are built, a few houses are fine."

Liu Ya looked happy when she heard this, and nodded.But when he opened his mouth again, he said: "I thought about it just now, and I think that side is not good. Although it is close to the village, the road at the head of the village goes there. The gate of my house is facing the road at the entrance of the village. Isn't that the same as drinking northwest wind? Is it? Besides, it’s called a dead end road, which is not auspicious. I don’t choose that side, it’s good or bad.”

Seeing Liu Ya's happy nod at first, Master Gu thought she had agreed, and was thinking about what to say, so that she could add more money when building the house.But I didn't expect Liu Ya to say such a sentence suddenly, which directly made him hold back the idea that just came up.

Master Gu looked at the small pits that he and his companions dug out just now, rubbed his sore waist, and asked, "Little girl, I didn't expect you to know Feng Shui?"

"Well, I understand a little bit. So if you don't like the location, you can't choose it. I'll look at other places..." After speaking, Liu Ya looked around, looking at the mountains, the land, After a while, he looked at the road again, and then pointed to a place about [-] steps north of their current position and said: "That place is quite good, it doesn't rely on mountains, doesn't block the road, and the light is good. Please, Master Gu, help I'll see how the land over there is. If it's suitable for building a house, I'll choose that place."
