Liu Qingshan hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "This is the house built by grandpa, every corner of it has the breath of grandpa's life, I don't want this old house to be so deserted, I want to live there until it can no longer live in people." In the future, when I find a partner, I will tell her about this feeling, and if she can't accept it, then I can't accept her either. ”

The son's firm words made the two look at each other again.

However, their eyes at the moment obviously have more tenderness.

The son is a nostalgic person, and he is also an emotional person.

Since their son said such things, although the old couple still had some objections in their hearts, they had nothing to say, so they could only agree with their son to continue to renovate the old house.

According to the plan, the door was enlarged first, and then the extra door was blocked.

Once this is done, it is time to start tidying up the plank on the second floor.

The plank floor on the second floor is more cumbersome to remodel.

The first thing to do is to clean up the garbage on the second floor.

Although the second floor is not inhabited, various things have been piled up in the past few decades.

There are antique wooden cabinets that are worn out but reluctant to throw away, as well as pots and pans that are broken but reluctant to throw away, as well as some old objects.

Of course, it's more rat poop.

Now, the second floor has to be renovated, and all these things have to be brought to the yard first.

Whether it's old objects or rat droppings, all of them are removed.

After removing these things, the planks on the second floor had to be cleaned in the river, and then a charcoal fire was built in the yard to dry them.

These planks have a long history, and they were simply carbonized in the early years, so they didn't grow insects and were still very well maintained.

Now, after cleaning, they are carbonized again in order to extend their service life and make them stronger.

The wooden building without wooden planks looked extremely empty, so Liu Qingshan took this opportunity to plug all kinds of wormholes on the wall with cement. Kill the worms first, and then plug the wormholes, so that both small bugs and rats will have nowhere to hide.

After this effort, the rats in the house were basically eliminated. It's a pity that the family doesn't eat mice, otherwise, they would definitely be able to eat a few meals.

At the same time of carbonizing wood boards, Liu Qingshan also found a master in the town who specializes in making steel frame structures for people.

The master who made the steel frame structure was an uncle in his forties. ’

When Liu Qingshan came to his shop with the boss who sold reinforced concrete, he was busy smoking his son who was fighting with others.

Seeing that the old man was coming, he hurriedly threw away his slippers and stepped forward to greet: "Oh, boss, I'm so free today, I don't need to deliver goods." ”

The boss who sold cement laughed and said, "Why don't you have to deliver it, I just sent a truck of cement to this handsome guy." ”

"Handsome guy, build a house?" the steel frame boss looked at the handsome guy with a delicate face and asked, "Do you want to build a tin shed by the way?"

The iron shed also belongs to the steel frame structure, so the steel frame boss also does it.

He thought that now the rural people like the tin shed, and it is estimated that this young man came for the tin shed.

Liu Qingshan shook his head: "No, it's not." ”

"Haha, what the hell. The cement boss laughed and said, "Let me tell you, if you underestimate this handsome guy, people don't do any tin sheds, he wants to give you a big business." ”

"Big business?" the steel frame boss frowned, thinking, what big business?

"This is my old customer, the person is very good, I introduced him to you, you will do a good job for others when the time comes." The cement boss said.

When the boss of the steel frame heard this, he immediately refuted: "What are you talking about, whether it was introduced by a friend or found by yourself, since you have taken other people's money, you must help others do things well." Whoever introduced it is the same. ”

These words made the cement boss a little embarrassed, but it made Liu Qingshan happy: "Haha, this is the best, boss, my family is renovating the old house, the second floor is a wooden building, I want to use the steel frame structure to make a fixed stairway on the second floor, in addition, I have to use the steel frame structure to reinforce the wooden plank building." ”

"Old house?" the steel frame boss glared, "Is it necessary? With this money, you can build a new house." ”

That's what I told him. The cement boss said, "He pulled a lot of materials at my house, and I also told him, with this money, you can build a new house, but he has to renovate the old house." ”

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this. Liu Qingshan smiled, "Anyway, I won't lose your money." ”

"It's true, this guy never owes debts, they are settled on the spot, you can rest assured of that. The cement boss said.

The steel frame boss nodded: "It's not that it can't be done, it's just that the old house has a large project and a lot of materials......"

"Boss, you don't have to worry about money, you just have to do it. Liu Qingshan said, "Moreover, use the best materials to make it for me, and you don't have to worry about money." ”

As soon as he heard this, the steel frame boss smiled: "Haha, that's no problem, as long as you are willing, I will find a way to get you aerospace materials if you want them." ”

"Then let's go to my house first. ”

"Okay, let's go and measure it first. ”

The cement boss ran out of goods to deliver, but he also wanted to be lively, so he went together.

When they arrived at Liu Qingshan's house, the three of them measured the size of the house below, and then after some discussion, they determined the location of the stairs.

When Wu Cuimei saw that there were guests at home, she boiled tea and greeted her.

When drinking tea, the boss of the steel frame said: "Qingshan, you can think about it, if you are sure to do it, I will order the materials when I go back next time, I will have someone send it to me overnight, and then I will pull it in early tomorrow morning." ”

"Sure. Liu Qingshan said, "If you don't worry, I'll give you a deposit first." ”

"Haha, this one doesn't work. The boss of the steel frame smiled, "Looking at your face, you are not a person to deny, and besides, he said that you are reliable, then I will definitely believe you." ”

"Don't worry. The cement boss said, "It's not the first time I've dealt with him, all the cement, sand, gravel and other materials in his house are all brought to him by me, and you can put a hundred hearts on the character." ”

"In that case, let's settle it. "With the words of the cement boss, the steel frame boss has peace of mind in his heart.

Early the next morning, the materials really came.

It's easy to get a staircase for a boardwalk, but it's not easy to reinforce a plank building.

To reinforce the plank floor, you have to add beams.

The beams used to be cedar trees in the mountains, and they were very large and thicker than a person. These stout beams have been standing under the wooden floors and have survived for a long time and are still in good condition.

In fact, even if you don't add a beam, it's no problem to use the previous beam. However, Liu Qingshan said that either you don't do it, or you must do it well.

Therefore, beams must be added to each wooden plank floor.

To add a beam, you need to use the support point.

Previously, the beams were placed directly in the wall, connecting the two walls from one end to the opposite wall.

Now that the beams have to be added, it is obvious that no more holes can be drilled into the walls.

One is too much damage to the wall, and the other is trouble.

The boss of the steel frame proposed: "Otherwise, you can see if it will work, use bricks against the wall to build columns, one can be used to support and fix the newly added steel beams, and the other can also play a role in supporting the wall, which is also helpful for the firmness of the house." ”

"It's a good idea. Liu Qingshan clapped his hands and said, "Then let's raise the pillar." ”

The large room has six pillars, three on one side, and the small room has four pillars on one side, two on each side. As a result, a house needs to have dozens of pillars.

It's a huge project. Fortunately, Liu Qingshan has a lot of strength, and these things are not a problem.

It took two days for the columns to be completed, and the stairs of the steel-framed boss were also completed, after which it was time to add beams.

It is very simple to add a beam, just put the cut large steel pipe on it.

Liu Yuanhe joked: "Boss, how many years can you use this steel pipe? Don't bend it in a few years." ”

The boss of the steel frame is serious: "As long as you don't drive the tractor upstairs, I just guarantee that these rigid lights will not break for a hundred years, this is the best steel pipe, and I guarantee it with character." ”

After the beams are completed, the re-carbonized planks are put back in, so that the renovation of the second-floor plank building is half completed.

Liu Qingshan patted the newly built steel-framed staircase of the hall house, and motioned for his parents to go up and try it.

Wu Cuimei looked at the new steel staircase in front of her, then looked up at the wooden floor on the top, and asked with some hesitation: "Qingshan, is this staircase firm?" ”

"Haha, Mom, what are you afraid of? Liu Qingshan couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to take the lead in walking up.

The newly built steel staircase is a spiral staircase, which does not cover a large area, and compared with the fixed cement staircase in the countryside, the steel spiral staircase not only occupies a small area, but also looks better.

In addition, the service life of this steel staircase can also be comparable to that of cement stairs, so there is nothing to worry about.

Liu Qingshan held on to the handrail and walked up step by step, and as he walked, he didn't forget to look back at the old couple and said, "Dad, Mom, come up." ”

"Ah, three people go up at the same time, is this staircase okay?" Liu Yuanhe was also very worried about the quality of the stairs.

It was the first time he had seen a staircase like this, and he was a little skeptical of the quality of the staircase.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "Fortunately, the boss has already left, otherwise, if he hears you, he will be angry." ”

"I just think it's okay to stand up one person at a time, and there's no need to stand up to three people at once. Liu Yuanhe said, "Besides, it's not about rushing somewhere, you go up first, and then we go up again." ”

Liu Qingshan had no choice but to continue walking.

Once you walk up, you will find a widened staircase.

The original staircase can only be just one person up and down, and the area is only about one square meter, but now the widened staircase area is as large as the area of the staircase, and it is about three or four square meters.

Liu Qingshan lay on the fence at the staircase, looked down at the two who were still hesitating, and shouted, "Mom, come up and take a look." This is a wooden building that we have spent a lot of money to renovate, so it's a pity not to come and see it. ”

"Okay, I'll go first. Wu Cuimei gritted her teeth and walked up with the handrail.

Liu Yuanhe saw the old woman go up, and he also followed.

After walking to the wooden plank building, the family of three looked at the suddenly new wooden plank building, and the excitement in their hearts naturally went without words.

Although the walls are still the same walls, and the planks are still the same planks, the plank building after being cleaned of garbage and bugs gives people a faint sense of warmth.

There was no cold cement, just warm mud bricks and planks.

"It feels different when you step on it. Liu Yuanhe said with a smile on his face, "In the past, when the three of them stepped on it, there would be a creaky sound on the board, but now there is no sound at all, and it feels very firm." ”

"Of course, as I said, it's well spent. Liu Qingshan said proudly, "You didn't agree at first, but now you know how correct my decision is." ”

Wu Cuimei also smiled: "Yes, now I feel that our wooden floor is no different from other people's cement buildings, but it is not so bright." ”

Directly above the wooden floor is the pitch-black tiles, but here is the wooden floor of the hall, and among the four walls, only the wall facing the patio has a window with an area of about one square meter, so the light is naturally not too bright.

Liu Qingshan looked at the walls on the left and right, thought for a while, and then said: "When the doors of the walls on both sides are opened, and the windows of the wooden buildings on both sides are enlarged, the light will be bright." ”

"Huh?" the two of them were dumbfounded, "Do you want to get it?"

"Of course you have to get it, otherwise, how can you get to the wooden plank building next to it?" Liu Qingshan walked to the edge of the wall and made a gesture, "Just open a door here, the wall over there is the same, open a door, and you can walk to the wooden plank building next to it." When the time comes, a low bed can be placed in the wooden buildings on the left and right sides of the room to be used. ”

Listening to his son's plan, the two of them were naturally reluctant in their hearts.

I thought it would be good to make the wooden floor like this, but I didn't expect that my son would want to continue to renovate.

Although they were not very happy in their hearts, the two of them didn't say anything. Things have come to this point, and you can't extinguish your son's enthusiasm with a basin of cold water.

"Well, let him go. When she went to bed at night, Wu Cuimei said, "Anyway, it's changed like this now, if you don't let him continue to change, he won't feel comfortable." Make the house pretty, and you have face. ”

Liu Yuanhe weighed it and said, "I just don't think it's necessary to spend so much money on old houses." ”

"Don't say that, my son won't say it, he wants to live in this house all the time, since he wants to, then let him go. ”

"Alas, that's all there is to it now. ”

Although Liu Qingshan didn't know what his parents thought, he didn't disappoint his parents.

After reinforcing the wooden building, he immediately opened the wall and made doors to the wooden building on the second floor according to the plan.

Since there are only three wooden floors on the second floor, if you want to open the door from the large wooden floor of the hall and the other two large wooden buildings on both sides, you need to open two doors.
