Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 121 Building a House

Cheng He looked at the 3D building pictures of Taohua Village again and again, and asked, "How much will it cost to build such a scale?"

Lu Wenpeng smiled: "I tried my best to consider the actual situation in your village. In fact, there are no major changes, no expensive materials, and it doesn't cost much."

He knew that Cheng He was worried about the cost, and said: "Actually, I also know that it is not so easy to renovate a village. Why don't you do this first, let's build your house first! Build your house beautifully, The price is not too expensive, they have seen it, and it will be much easier to talk about the next step."

In fact, he still really wants to see the reconstruction of Taohua Village, but he also knows the objective conditions, and maybe it can be done step by step.

This is not bad!

Cheng He originally planned to build his own house.

In terms of price, it met Cheng He's expectations, and the big designer did not design a house with a sky-high price.He knew very well in his heart that what he designed was a mountain village residence, not a luxury hotel.

Of course, although Cheng He doesn't have to worry about money now, he hasn't thought about building any super luxurious house. According to the design of the big designer, he is very satisfied.

There are buildings and gardens, modern and convenient, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the conditions are good in all aspects, so that's all.

In addition, the things designed by great designers are not only practical, but also very beautiful.On the basis of preserving the original style, some artistic processing has been added.There is both face and liking, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
Lu Wenpeng has his own construction team, and now that the deal is settled, it is almost time to start construction.

Cheng He is a layman, coupled with the strong requirements of the big designer, who wants to perfectly achieve the effect of his design works, so the house repair is all-inclusive.

That is to say, after the exterior design of the house is confirmed by both parties, the rest of the matters will be handled by the engineering team, and Cheng He only needs to pay for it and check and accept it.

Of course, during the construction process, some details and materials still need to be negotiated between the two parties, such as the price of a certain material.

In addition, when building a house in a mountain village, you still have to pay attention to it, and choosing a date is more important.

An old man in the village looked through the almanac, and the most recent date is three days later, it is appropriate to break ground, start work, collect money, and cut clothes.

For the next three days, Cheng He moved out the things from the house and temporarily put them in Cheng Shi's house, and then he and his daughter rented a farmhouse to stay temporarily.

Anyway, almost all of them were the ones he bought when he came back. There were not many things, and it was not troublesome to move them.

Cheng Shi asked their father and daughter to live in their house, but Cheng He did not agree.This is not a day or two, at least it takes two or three months to build a house, how can I bother others for a long time?

Lu Wenpeng also immediately called and called his engineering team.

Although the construction period will not start until three days later, they can first communicate with the design drawings, measure the land, conduct on-site inspections, pre-pull materials, etc.

Cheng He was moving things again, and there were people running around in the house again. There was a lot of movement. Everyone in the village came to inquire about the situation and knew that a house was going to be built. They expressed their happiness for Cheng He and said that they could help. Squeak though.

Hearing that he hired a professional team of architects, they all expressed surprise.In the past, when building houses in the village, they would hire experienced masons in the village, and then invite idlers in the village to work as small laborers, picking sand and bricks and so on.

A team of professional architects they haven't seen yet.

Building a house in the countryside is a big deal, and Cheng He's family has no elders to help take care of them, and they are willing to help with some things.For example, there are some old rules that Cheng He doesn't know when he is young, they can mention them.

After all, they were very grateful to Cheng He.

They all felt that Cheng He was a capable person, and the village was lucky to have him.

The day before the start of construction, Cheng He invited people from the farmhouse to help set up a few banquets, and invited the construction team and the elders of the village.

It is their rule here to ask the engineering team to have a meal before starting construction. Anyway, it usually means humility and courtesy, and they hope to work hard with all their heart.

And the elders in the village were invited, mainly because he himself did not understand some old rules, so he had to ask them for advice.

The younger generation is not very clear about the old rules, and when they are passed on to the next generation, there will be fewer and fewer rules left.

Cheng He is not exempt from these basic rituals.

Of course, by the way, Yu Fei and her online store staff were also invited to a banquet, and Zhao Sizai was waiting.

It is also necessary to build a good relationship with employees by celebrating the occasion.

Several tables are placed in the yard.In the evening, the weather was beautiful, and there was a breeze, which relieved some of the heat.

When the farmhouse is not very busy, there are enough people. There is no problem with a few tables of banquets. If you go to the town to buy vegetables early in the morning, you are well prepared.

Lu Wenpeng sat with his engineering team, watching the villagers talking about building houses, old stories, etc., and he also listened with gusto.

This is also one of the reasons why he likes rural architecture. This kind of pure rural atmosphere cannot be felt when designing communities in big cities.

The mountain village has its own humanities. Although it is outdated in the eyes of many people, in his eyes, it is precious and will soon disappear.

There are not many opportunities to participate in such activities.

Cheng He toasted table by table, also very happy.

After coming back for so long, I am finally ready to build a new house.

Just as he sat down, Second Uncle Cheng, an elder at the other table, picked up the cup and said loudly, "Come on, Heizi, Second Uncle will have a drink with you. It's not easy for you these years! It's not easy for you to survive alone! The second uncle can't help much, but he still has strength, if you have something to shout, you're welcome, you know?"

Cheng He quickly stood up, raised his glass, and drank.

The atmosphere gradually warmed up.

The banquet was well organized. This is not a serious banquet, and it doesn’t start with three yuan, but the dishes are still very solid. The meat, vegetable and vegetable dishes are full of rustic atmosphere, and they are real deals.

People were talking about Cheng He's achievements while eating and drinking, and lamented that this kid had no one to help him all these years, and it was not easy.

Now that a new house is about to be built, life can be regarded as getting better. As the old saying goes, it is very happy.

In the dining room, a five or six-year-old boy ran over and shouted towards the banquet: "Grandpa, the third uncle is here again."

The little boy's grandfather is Uncle Cheng who had toasted with Cheng He earlier.

At this time, he was holding a cup, laughing and gossiping with the people next to him, when he heard his grandson's shout, his expression immediately sank.

But look at the current scene, a new house will be built tomorrow, everyone is very happy, he can't affect other people's mood.

So his downcast face immediately turned into a smile again, and he said to his grandson: "Then let him wait at home, you said grandpa will go back soon."

The little kid took the lead and ran back.

A few people around his age at the same table knew what he was worried about, and they also asked with worried faces: "Is that troublesome son-in-law of yours making trouble again?"

"Oh... the family is unlucky!" Uncle Cheng replied.

He frowned unavoidably between words, and it was difficult to stretch his expression.

The rest of the people looked at the current situation and advised him: "Oh, don't think about it, don't think about it, hurry up and go back after eating, so that the guy won't be chased here."

Second Uncle Cheng frowned and drank the wine.

The banquet is endless, if he leaves halfway and goes back, the master's family will not look good.If you want to go back, at least you have to wait until everyone has eaten almost.

I just don't know why that bastard is here again. With such a relative at the booth, the whole family lives in fear.

Cheng He toasted the wine next to the table. When he arrived at this table, he saw a few people who were not very interested, so he asked with a smile: "Second uncle, the dishes don't suit your taste? I don't think the wine has touched it? Come on , let's have a drink."

Several people immediately raised their cups and said, "No, no, the banquet is very good. It's done well. That guy Sanpi's cooking skills are still excellent. The food is also very solid. Heizi, you have to eat it yourself , don’t just persuade us.”

While speaking, they all drank the wine in the cup.
