Chapter 15 A Hundred Dollars Lost
The roof of the house is made of a triangular tile structure, and when it rains, water flows down from the eaves, so as to prevent water from accumulating on the roof.
But back then, because of the limited capacity, the ordinary blue and black tiles were used, and it stands to reason that the roof has been repaired for more than ten years, and now it is not leaking, and it should not be able to be seen.
But what the bricklayer who climbed to the eaves saw was not like this, the tiles of the roof were neatly arranged, and the pieces were tightly fitted together, neatly and neatly without damage, and even the dust was very little, and it looked like it was well cared for.
That is, Li Bricklayer doesn't know what OCD is, otherwise he would definitely say that this tile is the gospel of OCD, it's too neat.
"Bell" Li bricklayer knocked on the tile with his hand, and the tile made a crisp sound, just like the sound indicated, the tile was quite strong and did not need to be repaired at all.
"Zhou Wazi, you wait for me to go up and have a look. "The bricklayer climbed straight onto the roof this time.
Walking cautiously on the roof, Li Bricklayer checked the bearing capacity of the roof, but the more he checked, the more he admired Li Bricklayer.
"I don't know who built this roof, it's so good, it's really strong and beautiful. Li Wa said with ingenuity.
Yes, when Zhou Zhi's family repaired the house, Li Bricklayer was still young at that time, and he was not in the village, but went out to pick up work, so he really didn't know who built this roof, but this roof was so good that he was amazed.
After carefully inspecting the three roofs, the bricklayer went down the ladder.
"Zhou Wazi, the roof of your house is really well repaired, the roofs of these three rooms can still be used for decades without any problems, there is no mistake or omission, it is better than what I repaired." Li Mason exclaimed.
"Really?" asked the third grandmother happily.
"No problem, yes. Li Bricklayer nodded affirmatively.
Zhou Zhi was a little surprised to hear Li Bricklayer's affirmative answer, after all, his family really hasn't come back for a long time, and he heard his father muttering last year or the year before last, saying that he wanted to go back and repair the old house greatly when he was rich.
In this way, there must be some problems with the roof, but now Li Bricklayer not only said that there was no problem, but even said that the repair was better than him, and he knew that his head was not big or small, and he had a question mark on his head.
"I don't know who your family is looking for to repair this roof Zhou baby, look at this craftsmanship is definitely an old qualified master. Li asked curiously.
"It's all my dad, they came back to find someone to fix it, and I don't know. Zhou Zhi said immediately.
"These are all repaired by Zhou Wazi's parents and his parents, and they are repaired every year, probably because of this. The third grandmother also spoke.
"Then I guess the other roofs are fine, so I'll check the doors and windows of these three rooms for you, after all, you are here in the back of the mountain, look at those places, and finally look at the roofs. Li Bricklayer said with some embarrassment.
After all, he originally came to repair, and he had to pay for a day of work, but now there is no problem with the roof, so he is embarrassed to take the money when the time comes.
Worried that the other roofs would be fine, Li Bricklayer thought of checking the doors and windows or something, and he couldn't give them for nothing.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Li. Zhou knows.
"No hassle. The bricklayer first moved the ladder to the roof near the side door, and then began to check it.
The kitchen of Zhou Zhijia is a large earthen stove in the countryside, except for the old one, everything else is fine, the wall skin is slightly old yellow like the firewood room just now, but the doors and windows are still strong and do not need to be repaired.
Then Li bricklayer began to inspect the main house where Zhou Zhi lived.
"Zhou Wazi hasn't added anything yet, it looks quite empty. Li bricklayer stood at the door.
"Well, I only came back yesterday, and I really haven't had time yet. Zhou Zhi nodded.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Bricklayer was surprised, because the white walls and windows in this room, as well as the door just now, made Li Bricklayer extremely surprised.
"Xiao Zhi, have you re-painted this room?" asked Li Bricklayer in surprise, not called Zhou Wazi but Xiao Zhi.
In fact, without waiting for Li Bricklayer to ask, Zhou Zhi, who entered the door again, found a difference.
Yesterday, I didn't pay attention to it, I just cared about the 250,000 mattress, and ignored the room, and now I checked it with Li Bricklayer, and Zhou Zhi naturally found those details that I hadn't discovered.
That is, before receiving the reward yesterday, the white walls of this room were the same as the kitchen, slightly mottled and tinged with old yellow, and it only looked evenly scraped, and the traces could be seen when you looked closely, and there were even mottled wall skin in the corners.
But now the whole house is completely different, the white walls are white and clean, not to mention the sense of obsolescence, and the putty is so smooth that there are no traces of scratching at all, as if the walls were originally white.
Not to mention the doors and windows, although Zhou Zhi has not done the work of installing doors and windows, but the advantages and disadvantages can still be seen, and the rough and rough doors and windows seem to be ordinary, but if you look closely, they are not ordinary at all.
Because the windows and entrance doors seem to have grown out of the house itself, there is no trace of the installation at all.
You must know that the door opening and window, although they are measured by the size, but when repairing the house, they must be made bigger, so that they can be installed when the door frame is installed, after all, the larger ones can be made up with putty, but the door hole is made small, but it is necessary to knock on the wall.
Therefore, no matter how well the doors and windows are made, it is impossible to fit them tightly, anyway, Li Bricklayer has never seen this kind of craftsmanship before, no!
"This room is also so beautiful, the same as the roof, this person must be a master, or a master, only in this way can the experience and craftsmanship be shared to be able to do a drip. Li Bricklayer sighed.
At this time, Zhou Zhi also reacted and said quickly: "Well, it seems that my dad only let people brush it a few years ago." β
When answering Li Bricklayer, Zhou Zhi asked the system in his heart: "Have you renovated the system?" β
Zhou Zhi's affirmative sentence, because he clearly remembered that the room he saw when he came back and opened the door was not like this, that is, ordinary mottled white walls, and doors and windows that were slightly better than crumbling, it was absolutely impossible to be so sophisticated, which made Li Bricklayer sigh with emotion.
The system reads: "Yes host, this is included in [Decoration Pack 1]. β
Zhou Zhi remembered that the system did not say that the gift package only had one mattress, and he said: "Then I think the kitchen and firewood room are still the same as yesterday?"
The system reads: "The renovation package only includes the repair of the roof of the kitchen where the host is located, as well as the overall repair of the bedrooms and guest rooms and the HΓ€stens mattress." β
"Yes, it's realistic. Zhou Zhi regretted once again that he didn't list the other rooms as guest rooms.
"The doors and windows are really good, there is no sound when the doors are closed, and the sound insulation is good," said Li Bricklayer, still marveling at the whole room.
"The main thing is that my parents maintain it well and repair it every year, after all, we have to come back to live, so naturally we have to take good care of our hometown. Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
"That is, of course, I have to take care of my hometown, and no matter how good I am at working outside, it is not as good as my hometown. Li Bricklayer nodded with deep feeling.
"Then Uncle Li is here today, I don't need anything else for the time being. I'll stop reading it for now, and I'll ask you for help next time. Zhou Zhi said.
"It's okay, I've watched it all together. Li Bricklayer thought that Zhou Zhi was afraid of troublesome him, so he waved his hand.
"The main thing is that there are still guests today, and the guest in the room continues to stay today, and it is not good if I open the door without permission. Zhou Zhi said seriously.
"Oh, yes, I heard your third grandmother say that you came back to open a hotel, didn't you just open it yesterday?
"That's right, I came here to see the old dragon pit, and I arrived last night. Zhou Zhi nodded.
"That's okay, if someone lives there, you can't see it, so let's do it next time. "Li Bricklayer had worked outside, and he knew that it was not good to have guests repairing the house, so he nodded and agreed.
It's just that if this is the case, Li Bricklayer didn't plan to ask for money, so he began to say goodbye: "Okay, I'll go first, and ask me to show you the house next time it's empty." β
"Li Bricklayer finished reading it so soon?" the third grandmother, who was cleaning up the yard, asked out loud as she looked at Li Bricklayer who was about to leave.
"I've finished reading it, and I'll see the rest next time, Zhou Wazi still has guests. The bricklayer nodded.
And Zhou Zhi chased it out, and directly stuffed a hundred yuan into Li Bricklayer's hand and said, "Thank you, Uncle Li, for running today." β
"No, I can't ask for it, I haven't even worked, where can I ask Zhou Wazi for your money, no, no. Li Bricklayer resisted with all his might, trying to shove the money back into Zhou Zhi's pocket.
But Zhou Zhi refused: "Uncle Li, if you don't want it this time, how can I be embarrassed to ask you to help me look at the house next time, and besides, you also delayed half a day's work to help." β
"That's not good, just give it next time I read it, not this time. Li Bricklayer said stubbornly.
"Uncle Li, I really don't dare to look for you next time if you are like this. Zhou Zhi said helplessly.
"Okay, Li Bricklayer, you can accept it, next time Zhou Wazi will ask you for help." The third grandmother on the side also spoke up.
After the third grandmother said it, Li Bricklayer accepted the hundred yuan with some embarrassment, but before leaving, he said again and again: "You have to find me next time, and you can't give money, I have already received it in advance." β
After Zhou Zhiyi responded one by one, Li bricklayer left.
As soon as the person left, Zhou Zhi instantly remembered something, and said to the system seriously: "System, you made me lose a hundred yuan." β
The system now says: "What does the host mean?"
"Just a hundred. "The face is thick and the heart is black, and he eats a lot, and Zhou Zhi is not hypocritical.
The system now reads: "Yesterday the host charged 99 for the room." β
"That's a loss of one dollar, and it's a hundred dollars if rounded up. Zhou knows.
