Chapter 22 Soil Heating
"Dad, the eldest brother is right, you can't listen to the child for everything, he hasn't built a house, what does he know. Hong Tao's father began to help him talk, and he couldn't get used to seeing his son walking around here with two pieces of torn paper and his hands behind his back like an engineer.
"He doesn't understand, you can build this house without him? I can build this house without him? You have to talk about your conscience, your son earns you a room for nothing, and you still talk nonsense about two more small holes, but you are still a university teacher, so you educate your students?" As soon as the old man's energy came up, no one could stop him, and the more he stopped, the more angry he became, standing outside the courtyard, pointing to Hong Tao's father's nose and began to count.
"Grandpa...... Aunt-in-law...... Dad, let's go inside, I have something to say, and I can't let outsiders hear it. Hong Tao saw that his grandfather was about to enter PK mode, so he quickly pulled his grandfather's leg and dragged him into the yard.
"Hey, hey, hey...... What's the matter? It's so mysterious, what good idea does the good grandson have?" It's really embarrassing for this old man, after seeing the little grandson, his face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and his face was full of wrinkles with a smile, and the degree and quality of this change of face can be called excellent.
"Let's talk about it when we enter the house, it's a good thing ......" Hong Tao didn't answer, and dragged the old man into the house.
"Bingrui, where did your son learn so many things, and you don't care?" The eldest aunt could only walk into the house with Hong Tao's father following the old man, complaining in a low voice as he walked.
"Hi...... Let's see what he says, this kid is about to become my father in more than a month, and he ......" Hong Tao's father was also very depressed, but he couldn't say a sentence or two and his own burden, so he only sighed.
"Auntie, look at this, I have marked the size, the same is also to burn honeycomb coal, this is two fire eyes, a little more coal, with 3o square meters is no problem, this single fire eye coal saving, with 2o square meters should be no problem, do not delay water cooking." After entering the house, Hong Tao took out two folded pieces of paper from his trouser pocket, opened them and handed them to his aunt.
"Good grandson, what is this?" Grandpa stretched out his head to look, but he didn't understand what it was, he glanced at Hong Tao's father, and saw that he didn't understand, so he could only ask Hong Tao.
"Earth heating, when my grandmother adds fire to seal the fire in the future, there will be no ash in the house, the two fire eyes can cook quickly, and the heating is more coal-saving than burning the stove, it is clean, and it will not be poisoned by gas. Hong Tao probably told his grandfather about his design plan.
"Feng Rong's father, can this thing be done?" This time, Hong Tao's grandfather didn't dare to believe his grandson's words directly, but went to ask his eldest son-in-law.
"Dad, you can't be wrong to look at it, Xiaotao, who gave it to you?" The eldest aunt stopped glaring at Hong Tao this time, turned it over and looked at it several times, and began to ask Hong Tao about the source of these drawings.
"Hahahaha, I'll just say, my good grandson is smart, and he knows that he feels sorry for his grandmother, is this thing expensive?" As soon as the old man heard the words of his eldest son-in-law, he was immediately happy again, as long as his grandson did the right thing, he was happy.
"The materials are not expensive, but we can't do this job there, Dad, I have to find someone to help show it, I'm not a professional plumber, this thing can't be messed around, this is a shrunken boiler, if you don't do it, it will blow up!"
"Then look for it, Xiao Tao, let your aunt-in-law take this drawing of yours away, okay? I'll take a look first, well, the painting is still presentable, I can do these metal processing jobs, but this cast iron job is not easy to do. The old man stretched out his hand and took the drawings, and asked the eldest son-in-law to give him a brief explanation of the structure, and he, the old fitter, also understood.
"You don't have to take it away, there are colleagues who are professional in plumbing today, and I'll let him see it." "The eldest aunt doesn't say that Hong Tao is foolish, although he is a bricklayer, but the workers of this era are all multi-skilled, and they have to know how to work next to the house, but it is just a matter of whether they are fine or not.
"Lao Jin, who designed this thing? It's a good thing! The house has a big problem to solve, it won't explode, don't worry, the water can't be blown up even if it's all boiled dry, there is a gas release valve on it, the problem is where to get it on this stove? Is there anything for sale?" The aunt called in the colleague who could see at a glance that it was a heating pipe, and then handed him the drawings, and the person didn't even ask, and directly saw the key problem of this heating system.
"This stove has to rely on my father!" Hong Tao pointed to his father.
"I! I can make a stove there! I can't even make a chimney!" Hong Tao's father pointed to his nose, looking very innocent.
"You don't know how to do it, those people in your factory can do it, didn't the foreman uncle build a briquette stove for himself last time, you also help him calculate the size, you go to him again, buy a few boxes of cigarettes, and let him cast a few more water jackets for our family, anyway, they use scrap molten steel, and it's not taking advantage of the public, right?" Hong Tao directly revealed his father's old bottom.
"This ...... Father...... Is this appropriate!" Hong Tao's father was pitted by Hong Tao, and if he can't do it now, then his father-in-law will definitely not be happy, let's say it, let him beg for someone, it's the same as killing him.
"What's wrong with this, it's a big deal that we pay for the material, according to the price of good molten steel, how much money can there be! This is not a cheap advantage for the public, right? I also used the materials of the unit to make a bicycle bell for our workshop director, is this a matter in the unit? That is, you, you are so sick of your mind that you are studying. The old man pouted, he looked down on Hong Tao's father's fake appearance.
"Bingrui, Dad is right, we use holidays to come out to do private work, sand, hemp knife, plaster, including the car, are all from the unit, and we don't have to hide from the head of the unit, without the consent of the director, we can't drive this car! "The eldest aunt is also tempted, this thing doesn't look valuable, but this thing has to be used every day, every time I use it, I can think of its benefits, and naturally I think of the person who sent this thing, and it's really the best thing to use this thing to send the leader to pat the ass.
"Son, son, you have made your father miserable!" Hong Tao's father snuffed out the cigarette butt and looked up to the sky with a long sigh, helpless.
The house was built very quickly, and after a day's work, the two rooms were all capped, and it was almost necessary to install windows, doors, paint the walls, and wipe the floor. In this era, it is very easy to build a house, and there is no interior decoration, let alone hanging gypsum board or anything, and there is no want to hang it.
If it is not for the aunt working in the housing management office, you can't buy cement if you want to buy it, you can only use bricks to pave the floor, not floor tiles, or ordinary red bricks or green bricks.
Forced by his own family, Hong Tao's father went back to the factory to beg for help. In fact, it is not a request for help, workers usually do a little private work, these private jobs are not to make money, just to help their own family or relatives and friends, you can't sell it if you do too much, and you can't sell it. In this era, there has not yet been a private economy, except for state-run shopping malls, if you dare to sell on the street, the police will directly arrest you, and let the unit leader take people back at the slightest point, and you will be sentenced directly if you are serious one, and then there will be the crime of speculation.
In the end, Hong Tao didn't know how many water jackets the workers cast for his aunt's husband, and Hong Tao's father didn't know, he just took his aunt to find a more familiar foreman, mentioned the matter, and then ran away, as if he had done something unseemly. All the things in the back are that the aunt and the foreman are in contact, and it is estimated that the foreman is more awkward in front of Hong Tao's father, and it should be more comfortable to contact with Hong Tao's aunt.
Anyway, the ground of the new house has not yet dried, so the aunt pulled over the 4 water jackets, and specially brought two internal cigarettes to Hong Tao's father, a bag of sugar to Hong Tao, and a big bag of peanuts to his grandmother's house.
Now it's time to see grandpa's ability, the old man measured the size of the water jacket, wrote it on a small note, put it in his pocket and went to work, and when he came back at night, he carried back two sets of shells, and also took all the parts on the stove, plus more than ten pounds together, all of them were iron guys, and the old man actually walked alone and carried it back.
Grandpa's fitter skills are very good, all the accessories brought back are tightly fitted, and the iron plate of the shell is also smashed out of a pattern with a chisel, which is actually a round big blessing word, and it is not possible to see that it is hand-chiseled at all if you don't look carefully, just like the machine qì stamping.
After the whole stove was assembled, Hong Tao felt that it was much stronger than the earthen heating stoves sold in the stores in later generations, although the shell was not sprayed with paint, but the thick iron plate used by his grandfather also made him polish it shiny, just like stainless steel.
After waiting for a few more days, on Sunday, the aunt came again with the plumber, this time the plumber came in the door to thank his grandfather, and he also got a one-eye water jacket at home, which has been installed, but he did not use a stove jacket made of iron sheets, but directly used bricks to build the water jacket, the effect is very good, even if the fire is sealed, the house is very warm, and it does not cost coal at all. Its practical brick effect is better, brick is a good thermal insulation material, than the use of metal as the shell insulation effect is much stronger, but not very beautiful, a little inappropriate in the city.
