Chapter 128: Dilapidated House (6)
Zhenhua hurriedly walked over to see what Lan Yuliang and Yao Tianxiang had to say.
The two craftsmen looked back and forth, and like Reviel, they used a thread and a tape measure to measure the angle and amplitude of the wall's inclination. However, the two men's measurements were more careful and comprehensive, and a few words were discussed from time to time.
After measuring outside the house, when the measurement was in the house, Xu Jin and the other teachers also arrived, and everyone looked at the two craftsmen together.
The students also came one after another, standing outside the classroom and waiting.
After about twenty minutes, Yao Tianxiang and Lan Yuliang had a unified opinion.
Lan Yuliang said: "I discussed it with Master Yao and thought that it was not a big problem and could be reinforced. After reinforcement, it can also ensure safety for at least one year. ”
Zhenhua interjected: "Just now Qi Lei also came to see it, measured and analyzed, and he said that it would collapse at any time......"
"Qi Lei's set is not suitable for this kind of adobe house. Lan Yuliang shook his head, pointed to the front and back walls and said:
"As the old saying goes, hook the mountain and look up to the eaves, for thousands of years. The front and back walls of this house are inclined outward, which is not a big problem, because there is a cover that presses down and pulls it, like an arched bridge. The big problem is the gables at both ends and an inner hill in the middle. The two gables are also inclined outward, which is easy to handle, reinforced from the outside and supported with wood. The most troublesome is the inner gable, although it can be reinforced with the same brace, but it is propped indoors, and it is not good for you to walk and work or something. ”
Zheng Huailiang was overjoyed and said, "In this case, Principal Xu, let's hold on for the time being." Next year, I'll see if I can flip it. Uchiyama also held up, and the brace hit the teachers' offices, and the teachers were aggrieved, even if I couldn't stand you. ”
Yao Tianxiang also smiled: "In the countryside, the village (support) can be done." ”
Xu Jin and the teachers smiled bitterly and had to nod.
The old master didn't want to say anything, so he had to say: "Secretary Zheng, I have no opinion on strengthening it for the time being, but next summer, you can't delay it any longer, and you must rebuild these houses." ”
Zheng Huailiang was very happy and said: "Okay, okay, then it's decided, just tomorrow, Sunday, let the two masters work hard, Zhenhua is here to help, and the work is counted as a salary." You can buy the materials you need, and you will be reimbursed for the materials you buy. The expenses for this house reinforcement are all counted in our village, and we will pay for it!"
"Then thank you Secretary Zheng. Xu Jin was naturally dissatisfied, thanked him lazily, and said to Zhenhua: "Zhenhua, ring the bell for class!"
Zhenhua nodded, and was about to ring the bell, but he remembered that Qi Lei's mother entrusted him, so he said to Zheng Huailiang: "Secretary Zheng, wait for me, I rang the bell, and I have something to tell you." ”
Zheng Huai nodded brightly and waited in the office.
Zhenhua rang the class bell, asked the students to read first, and then ran back to find Zheng Huailiang, pulled him out of the door, took out Lan Yuzhi's two hundred yuan, and relayed Lan Yuzhi's words.
"It's not easy, it's not easy. Qi Lei's mother, pulling several children by herself, is indeed quite bitter. Zhenhua told her, I am also working, I really can't help it, please understand more. Zheng Huailiang sighed.
Zhenhua nodded.
Zheng Huailiang handed over the two hundred yuan to Zhenhua and said, "You take this money first, and early tomorrow morning, accompany the carpenter and the master bricklayer to Heyuan Town to buy materials." Come back and report to me, and get reimbursed. ”
Zhenhua nodded, and said, "Okay, but it's two hundred yuan, Secretary Zheng don't forget to keep accounts." ”
"Of course, I'll settle the bill soon. Zheng Huailiang waved his hand and left with a smile.
Zhenhua returned to the classroom.
The next day was Sunday, and Zhenhua was in front of Yao Tianxiang's house in Da Yao Zhuang early in the morning, waiting for Lan Yuliang to come and meet.
Regarding the purchase of materials to strengthen the school building, Zhenhua didn't dare to tell his father. If Daddy knew that he had two hundred dollars of public money in his pocket, I'm afraid he would have a ghost idea again!
Lan Yuliang didn't come over until seven o'clock, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, this is just half a day's work, let's go, go buy materials first." ”
There are no building materials in Hedong Town, so you have to go to Heyuan Town.
The three of them took a tricycle and arrived at the old timber market in the south of Heyuan Town half an hour later.
There's a lot of old timber and old bricks, as well as some precast piles and old windows and doors.
Lan Yuliang said: "It's still early, let's have breakfast first." It's rare to do something for the public, and we also take the opportunity to be corrupt and eat an extra fritter. ”
Zhenhua smiled, took the two craftsmen to the breakfast shop for breakfast, and bought them a pack of cigarettes each.
After breakfast, the three of them picked out a dozen old logs and planks, and bought some iron nails. Zhenhua bought a bottle of red paint by the way, ready to go back to write warning signs.
When I returned to East Bay Elementary School, it was only ten o'clock.
The two craftsmen began to work, making the big head braces, and Zhenhua helped on the side.
The old master was idle, and came to supervise the work with a cane.
At noon, the three of them went home for dinner, put the wood on the campus, and locked the door.
After lunch, rest until two o'clock and continue to work. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the reinforcement project of the school building was completed and successfully completed.
Zhenhua asked the master carpenter to make two wooden signs, and wrote the slogan "Danger, do not touch" on them with red paint, and inserted them outside the gables at both ends.
The old master nodded again and again: "Zhenhua is careful, responsible, and a good teacher!"
According to Zheng Huailiang's instructions, Zhenhua gave 20 yuan to each of the two craftsmen, and said: "This is your salary, Secretary Zheng said, there is no food and drink to entertain you, give a few more yuan, which is your living expenses." ”
"Thank you, thank you. The two masters got a huge sum of twenty yuan, and they were each happy.
Zhenhua and the old master also went home separately.
After dinner, Zhenhua went to report to Zheng Huailiang.
Zheng Huailiang was having dinner at home, and he had to take Zhenhua for a drink.
Zhenhua couldn't refuse, so he had to accompany him and took the wine bottle and poured wine.
Zheng Huailiang turned around and closed the door, and asked in a low voice, "How much did you spend today?"
Zhenhua took out the account book, reported the accounts one by one, and said: "We bought old wood, and we didn't dare to buy new ones, for fear of being stolen." The cost of materials, plus the craftsman's wages and round-trip expenses, is a total of 165 yuan, and my salary is gone, so I can be regarded as volunteering for the school. ”
Zheng Huailiang looked at the branch of accounting, tore it casually, and said, "You write another one, write a bill of 400 yuan." ”
"Four hundred?" Zhenhua was a little stunned.
What does Zheng Huailiang mean, don't you want to be corrupt?
Moreover, one hundred and sixty-five dares to make a account of four hundred yuan, Zheng Huailiang's courage and appetite are too scary, right?
Zheng Huailiang seemed to know what Zhenhua was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't think I want to be corrupt, if I want to make money, I won't be the village party secretary." You write another bill for 400 yuan, and come to my house tomorrow morning after school to report the bill. Let's just say that this is the 400 yuan retention money given by Qi Lei's mother, and you used it to strengthen the school building, and I asked the accountant to settle the account in person. ”
Zhenhua still didn't understand, frowned and asked, "Secretary Zheng, what do you mean ......."
Zheng Huailiang sighed: "Isn't Qi Lei in family difficulty? I'll do this, help him get rid of the retention money of two hundred yuan, and take care of it secretly, understand?"
