Chapter 5: Start construction early

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, no one in the family went out to visit the house, and after eating, they watched the replay of the Spring Festival Gala, and Chen Shu wanted to talk about his arrangements.

"Dad, Mom, I have to leave on the eighth day of junior high school, and my sister-in-law has to go to work on the fifth day of junior high school, so I will go to my grandmother's house tomorrow, and then let my brother and them drive back to my parents' house with my sister-in-law." In the third year of junior high school, my brother and sister-in-law and I went to Shijiazhuang to buy a car that my family drove, and by the way, we saw if there was a suitable construction team in these ten miles and eight villages. ”

"After the fifth day of the new year, we will start to clean up the house, grandpa and you will all move to the south courtyard, hire someone to tear down the houses here, and clean up the bricks and wood. Anyway, it's not three or five days to clean up, and when it's done, it will be thawed, and then it's just time to lay the foundation. ”

"I gave my brother the drawings for building the house, just look at it Mom and Dad, don't bump into it. I will give my brother how much money it will cost, and he will look at the preparations when the time comes! I want to build the house as soon as possible, and strive to complete the main body before the summer, and it will dry quickly and be convenient for decoration when the time comes!" Chen Shu said.

"You ask your uncle, he has been working outside a lot in the past few years, if he can find someone to do this work, we can save worry. Mom interjected.

"Yes! When I go to my grandmother's house tomorrow, I'll bring the drawings and let my uncle see them. If there is no problem, let him find someone to construct, and the materials must be bought by ourselves, so that we can rest assured. Chen Shu said.

"That's it, just ask your uncle tomorrow when I see him. Mom said, "Once all this is arranged, there is nothing to worry about."

My uncle did earn money as a contractor outside, especially since the wages of migrant workers began to increase in the fifth year, and they could get more money. When my brother got married, it seemed that the car was also changed to an Accord. The two houses in the family have been built, and the rural people either go to Dingzhou City to buy a house or buy a car, and there are very few people who invest in business.

After the family arrived at Grandma's house, they put down the things they had prepared for Grandma and Grandpa, and Chen Shu secretly gave Grandpa 500 yuan, which made Grandpa happy.

"Your grandma is afraid that I will lose money, so she has taken out all my money, and now I have fifty yuan left in my pocket, every time I go back, your grandma steals to see if she lost again during the day!" Grandpa whispered to Chen Shu and told Chen Shu not to tell grandma.

Although Grandma and Grandpa are both in their eighties, the two old men are deaf and clear-sighted, and they are not confused at all. Now I feel like the two of them are living like children, and I think it's quite interesting.

Mom and her sisters are all helping the concubine to arrange the meal, a few uncles and a few cousins set up two tables to play mahjong, and a few little dolls are all around grandma, smiling grandma can't close her mouth.

Chen Shu took the drawings to find his uncle, or he was watching everyone play mahjong on the sidelines.

"Uncle, I have a drawing for you to see, if we set up a construction team in our village, can we do it?" Chen Shu handed over the drawings.

Uncle was a little strange when he took it, and after opening it, he began to look at it seriously, "This is the drawing of a double-detached villa, the appearance is antique, and it looks like this is preparing for the construction of a brick-concrete structure, and we will build it in the village?"

"I found someone to design it, and built the two homesteads of the family together, so that in the future, my mother will be able to watch the door at home. Chen Shu explained.

"If it is built according to this standard, the labor and materials in our village are cheap, not counting the interior decoration, and it will cost six or seven hundred thousand. Are you really going to build it?" My uncle was a little surprised, just listening to my sister say that my son had made money in the past two years, but I didn't expect that my house would be so big.

"I know, this is the budget they gave!" Chen Shu handed over the budget report given by Liu Xin.

After about five or six minutes, my uncle's eyes left the drawing and looked at Chen Shu. "You're planning for me to find someone to build this villa. ”

"Well, I'm going to start moving after the fifth day of junior high school, and I'm going to move all of them to my brother's house. Then the old house in the back and the neighbor to the west were demolished, and this was already negotiated. As soon as it is thawed, you can lay the foundation construction, and I want to finish it as soon as possible. Chen Shu said.

"It doesn't take much time to build only two floors, as long as the materials are in place, it can be built quickly, and the shelf, pipe formwork and construction equipment can be rented in our city. It can take a little time to build the roof, but if you plan to use commercial ash, you can start construction early, because there are just a lot of people and the construction is fast!" said my uncle.

"I really plan to use commercial gray, after all, the quality is guaranteed, and this building is a seismic standard design, and if the gray number is not reached, there is no point in earthquake resistance. This is Chen Shu's idea.

"Then wait until it is no longer frozen to start construction, just people are at home, after the fifth day of the first month to find someone to demolish the house, the foundation takes a little more time, then I estimate that there is no problem in three months to complete the exterior decoration and the main body. If you plan to do it, I'll find you someone on the fifth day of junior high school. Uncle asked directly.

"Anyway, you can't find a job to go to work now, after the fifth day of the new year, you will find someone to help move and demolish the old house, I will go back to Tangshan in the eighth year, and then I will pull the thread and wire rod back, after all, it is cheaper there." As long as there is a problem with the construction, just tell my brother and them. Chen Shu still couldn't make up his mind.

"No problem, the foundation is a raft foundation, as long as it doesn't freeze at night, it's fine, and then start digging the foundation. The residential buildings in the city are slotted in advance, and there is no problem with our soil layer, and there is no settlement zone. Uncle smiled, at this time people were not looking for work, it was easy to organize.

"Then I'll hand it over to your uncle, when I go back to Tangshan, I will start to send rebar and wire rods to my home, and when I find enough manpower, I will tell my mother that my brother is also at home, just keep an eye on it when the time comes." Chen Shu said again.

However, I confirmed with Liu Xin and Gu Xiaowei that there was really no problem, so I was relieved. In fact, Chen Shu is in a hurry to do all this, he has his own considerations in his heart, and there is actually only one ultimate goal.

…………

There were a few cousins to help with the move, and it only took one day to move out, and seeing that the house that had lived for just 20 years was about to be demolished, my father was really a little reluctant. After seeing a good day, let the construction start to demolish the house, no matter what construction starts in the countryside, pay attention to this.

My brother and sister-in-law finally chose a low-spec Elantra, which is more popular, and it is easy to repair even if there is a problem. Before returning to Tangshan, Chen Shu went to the home of the head teacher of the high school again, and Chen Shu's achievement teacher had already heard what Su Yulong said, and he was still full of relief.

When I left, the trunk of the car was almost full of vermicelli, and there were dozens of catties of noodles (starch), these are all what Zhu Haitao wanted, the old man at home ate the vermicelli sent by Chen Shu last time, and said that this tasted good, and Chen Shu brought more this time.

In addition to individual trade, most of Tangshan has not gone to work, Chen Shu came back to understand the post-holiday steel trend in Tangshan, on the other hand, the rebar and wire rod are set down, and sent home as soon as possible, so as not to follow the price rise in the later period.

What Chen Shu didn't expect was that Chen Shu was given a small surprise when he arrived in class on the ninth day of the lunar calendar!
