"This is your cement!" the delivery master sweated on his forehead, the summer was scorching, and it was really bitter and tiring to run into this mountain lump in order to deliver these dozen bags of cement.

"Come on, come on, master, first eat a piece of watermelon to relieve the heat. Grandma brought the chopped watermelon out of the kitchen.

The delivery master, who was originally a little complaining, suddenly had a smile on his face, and he was not modest after being polite, in this weather of more than 30 degrees, it was like heaven to have a piece of watermelon to eat. After eating the watermelon, he had to go to the next house to make deliveries, but the distance was farther.

Fang Wei is like an accountant, holding a calculator and account book to review the calculation materials, she is very sensitive to numbers, plus Fang Ning also teaches some superficial things in accounting from time to time on weekdays, which is enough for her to apply what she has learned now, and her grandmother at home doesn't know how to read, so those bookkeeping things will be handed over to her.

As for Fang Ning, he went over to check whether the cement strength standard was up to standard, and the others did not have too many requirements, and they were not really engaged in construction, so they couldn't ask too much.

"Take it one step at a time, there's so much to do. Fang Ning stretched down his waist and moved his shoulders and muscles, these days have been very fulfilling.

He likes such a leisurely life very much, he doesn't have to worry about the expenses at home, his grandparents are doting on him enough, he can do what he wants to do as he wants, he doesn't need to suppress his nature, the days are so long, he is still young, he is confident that his life will be better and better in the future.

Grandpa and the second master have been busier in the past two days, carrying a firewood knife into the back mountain to cut dozens of bamboos and coming back, cutting off the branches and leaves, and putting them in the corner of the shade to let the bamboo dry in the shade. Now the weather is just right for drying bamboo.

The reason why they took great pains to get some bamboo back was that these bamboos could be used to make the roof of the gazebo, and after the bamboo was dry, they could be used to make mats through carpentry and paint with waterproof paint.

As for the pavilion in the original yard, because the master and his family did not take care of it at all, it was in disrepair, only the pillars of the four beams were slightly intact, and they were not damaged by termite erosion, and the shelves and covers on the roof were washed away by the rain and corroded and stuffed.

Fang Ning also invited two carpentry guys in the village, anyway, they were to take care of the food, and then give some wages to do some carpentry work.

In the end, the master came out and invited a well-known carpentry master, who will create old-fashioned furniture, such as the Eight Immortals table and the Taishi chair, as for the materials, there are ready-made cedar trees and camphor wood in the back room of the master's house, all of which are ready-made, cutting, shaving, nailing, carving railings, carved lattice windows, and finally brushing red paint and putting the corner to dry, anyway, the finished products are done in accordance with Fang Ning's requirements, antique, quite Chinese-style.

The various construction materials to be used have basically been completed in more than a week, and the next step is to start construction.

The Fang family set up three tables of meals in the hall of the master's house, and invited some carpenters, masons and bricklayers to come over to do things, the meals are all home-cooked, but there are meat and vegetables, these workers have a great appetite, if you don't let them eat, they can't work, even if they work, they cut corners.

The original large furniture, old-fashioned refrigerators, color televisions, old drawers and camphor wood boxes, etc., have to be moved to the inner room of the master's house, which is a bit troublesome to come and go, but this is also a matter of no way, and the home can not be placed in the firewood room.

The bed frame was lifted out and placed on the side while the weather was good, and the dust was cleaned with an iron brush, and then after a sun exposure, all the psyllids in the spring mattress were sunburned.

There are two inner houses, a hall house, and a firewood stove room, and the first step in the renovation is to throw it away!

The whole family started to throw away all the miscellaneous old things, and the rotten wood was thrown into the firewood stove to be used as matches, and as for those things that could not be reused, they could only be disposed of as garbage.

"Grandpa, those tiles in the corners of the inner room are kept, I will be useful when the time comes, and the wall skin that has been warped everywhere on the interior wall must be shoveled off in time, and the paint on the white walls will not look good, and I will paint it again when the time comes. ”

"My brother is right, many of these walls are moldy, and there are moldy spots everywhere, so it's good to shovel them all. Fang Wei agreed with Fang Ning's suggestion, she was a little bit clean, and she couldn't eat when she saw those mildew spots in the corner.

After listening to this, the grandfather and the young master continued to work again, putting on rubber boots, tying an apron, wearing a mask, holding a shovel, and shoveling the upturned wall skin inside and out.

The old house is not good, the masonry of the wall is solid red brick, the girder is a wooden structure, not a frame structure, it is okay for a short time, there will be various problems after living for a long time, and the disrepair is a problem, which itself is indeed not good.

Fortunately, Fang Ning's family plan is to use it for more than a year temporarily, and when Fang Ning's two brothers and sisters are grown up and ready to go to junior high school, they should consider the issue of choosing a school.

Fang Ning only lived in this house for a year, so it was bound to not be too good, so as not to waste it to the master's family, but after all, this is also a place, and the environment is too poor to stand it, so how to be both economical and affordable, as well as take care of the beauty and enjoyment, this is also a problem that Fang Ning has to consider.

Fang Ning pulled his grandfather to calculate the budget, and found that these thousands were far from enough, and in the end it was obviously more than 10,000, this is still the most economical plan, many materials are available in the countryside, and they are really not available in the second-hand market, the key is that the cement, sand, stones and workers' wages cannot be saved. Therefore, the expenditure exceeded the budget, so it was a bit of a loss, including grandpa and Fang Ning discussed it carefully for an afternoon, and the final result was to open a farmhouse, anyway, after the renovation of their house was completed, it would be similar to the villa.

Fang Ning also thought about it carefully, the back mountain is their own home, there are bamboo forest resources, overgrown with weeds, it can be fenced with barbed wire, used to raise poultry such as native chickens, the hillside on the right is a barren field, the soil is fertile, it was originally the master's family.

Because he usually has to go to work in the office, he basically has no time to farm, so his grandmother cultivated some melons and beans, most of which are barren, so he can also reuse them, make a larger vegetable garden, and plant some farm vegetables and seasonal vegetables. However, this matter has to be negotiated between the grandfather and the master's family, and no matter how useless this wasteland is, it is still an acre of land for the master's family.

After hearing this, the master didn't have anything to give up on this field, anyway, a piece of barren land was just used for it, and the little grandmother had no opinion, since the main family of Fang Ning came, this has changed every day, and the eldest son's family loves to toss, and she can't control it.

However, the grandmother complained quite softly, and complained in private, the cost of the little grandson's getting this thing is too big, and more than 10,000 yuan is not a small amount.

Fang Jiefang patiently explained to her a few times at first, but later found that it didn't make sense, this mother-in-law only knew the immediate interests, not the distant interests, so she simply didn't say it, and let her grandmother whisper in their ears.

"The floor should be replaced with a wooden floor!"

"The walls are painted pure white!"

"The doors and windows should also be replaced with lattice windows!"

"This corner eaves can be hung with Chinese knots!"

"This cement pier is also knocked off and tiled!"

Outside and in the inner room, Fang Ning walked around with a bunch of people, pointing everywhere, all of which were where to be changed, and at the same time, he also talked about the idea of the farmhouse, leaving a piece of land to come out, so that it would continue to be renovated when the time came.
