Chapter 174: Dirty and Tired
There will be some open space in front of and behind each farmer's house, and there will be at least a yard dam, which is of course used to dry the harvest of some crops, such as wheat, rapeseed, corn, rice, etc. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xu Bin's family doesn't have many old houses, three rooms, and there are not many things at home, and the big guy has moved out everything that can be moved out under the roof.
Whether it is pots and pans, whether it is pots and jars, whether it is refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, whether it is vertical cabinets, cupboards, large boxes, whether it is lights, wires, or electrical sockets.
If Xu Zhen and two or three people were asked to carry a cabinet containing almost half a ton of corn kernels when he first came back, he would feel very difficult. Fortunately, after returning home for more than half a year, he feels that he has more strength, at least his endurance has increased a lot, not only thanks to his participation in agricultural labor, but also thanks to the transformation of artificial intelligence on him.
It took a lot of time to move everything that could be removed from the roof, what could be moved, and what had even a little residual value and put it in the yard. After that, it was officially demolished.
For this kind of perennial frame house in the countryside, it must first be demolished from the roof.
For rural people, there is no so-called concept of directly rolling and knocking down with a bulldozer, as small as even a tile, as large as even a brick, there will be reuse value. Therefore, it is necessary to ask someone to demolish the house little by little, just like a house repairer.
There is a steep slope behind Xu Bin's house, and the eaves of the old-fashioned frame houses in the countryside are not high. If Yao Ming were standing here, he would not have to reach out to pick up the roof tiles.
Of course, there was no Yao Ming present, so some men, men with good physical strength, went up to the roof, removed the tiles one by one, and then piled them up on the ground in the way of passing.
Although rural people will not be unhygienic, it is absolutely impossible for someone to take a mop to mop the roof tile surface every day, so every tile on the roof will accumulate a lot of dust, not to mention, there is a bamboo forest behind Xu Bin's house, and the bamboo leaves have covered the roof again.
Therefore, not long after drying it for a while, Xu Zhen felt that his whole body was dirty, and the dust was mixed with sweat, which made his body very uncomfortable and uncomfortable. Fortunately, Xu Zhen is also a person born in the countryside, so he won't cry for this little work.
Anyway, there is danger in doing these jobs, but the big guys are still thick and fine, and it's not the first time that everyone has done this kind of work, and they know when there will be danger, so everyone avoids such a situation.
The main thing is that in this case, you must not let the little kid run here.
Soon, the roof tiles were collected on the ground, and although they were worn out, most of them remained intact as they would continue to be used in the new house.
The next step, of course, is to completely dismantle the entire structure of the house by hand, including the timber and stone frames, as well as the earthen frames.
In rural areas, there are a lot of wooden frames, such as purlins, rafters, melon pillars, fangs, etc.
Although most of these materials are old, they are not useless, at least they can be used as firewood.
For the newly built western-style building, the wooden structure materials such as melon pillars and fangs are no longer used, but purlins and rafters are still necessary. Of course, new materials are also used to build new houses, and these materials must be made of naturally dried wood, which is widely used in Eucalyptus Prefecture.
This kind of wood has a fine, solid, very good compressive and tensile resistance, light weight after air drying, and a straight trunk, up to tens of meters long, which is very suitable for purlins or rafters. And Xu Zhen's hometown is also widely planted with this kind of tree.
In the old-fashioned frame house, there will be a lot of gaps between the fangs and melon pillars and columns on the wall, of course, these gaps cannot be empty, and the houses cannot be separated by the wall if they are empty.
This practice is the most economical, and the rich man's practice is, of course, to do it with wooden boards.
The big guy worked all morning, and only the pillars and the lowest stone slab wall of the entire three houses were not demolished.
The big guy worked all morning, of course, he was tired and hungry, Xu Bin asked some women to help cook, so the big guy took a break, washed his hands and ate.
The meals are still relatively hearty, although they are all home-cooked dishes, but there are also chickens and ducks.
Beer and liquor, everyone is happy with themselves.
After lunch, because the sun came out at this time, it seemed a little hot, so Xu Bin asked everyone to rest first.
On such a hot day, doing these jobs is really exhausting.
Xu Zhen looked at this house with only one shelf left, and thought to himself, it would take three to five months, or even several months, to repair such a house, and it would only take a day to demolish it, and if a bulldozer was used, it might be done in half an hour.
This objectively proves that it is far easier to destroy than to create.
In the afternoon, after the sun was a little lighter, everyone went back to work.
The rest of the work is all physical work, because most of the rest are stones, whether it is a stone pillar or a stone slab, it is a heavy thing of hundreds or even hundreds of catties, and if one accidentally presses his foot, it will hurt enough.
The new houses were made of bricks as the main material, and these pillars and slabs were basically useless, but for the rural people, anything was useful.
Fortunately, it is not easy to stand up to a stone pillar several meters high, and it is much easier to push it down, because it is not necessary to maintain a length of several meters, and it does not matter how many pieces it breaks when it falls to the ground, and it is useful to break it if it is broken.
But the slate cannot be broken, and if it is broken, it will not be of much use.
Xu Zhen's uncle Xu Dawu used to be a stonemason, and the role of stonemasons was very great when he used to build a bucket room, and there were many projects, and now, bricklayers and plasterers occupy a dominant position. Of course, because it is in Eucalyptus County, Sanchuan Province, carpentry has always existed. Because whether it is a frame house or a brick and concrete house, wood is indispensable.
When it was almost dark, the big guy finally knocked down the last pillar and unloaded the last slate.
After dinner, some people stayed at Xu Bin's house to play cards and kill time, and Xu Zhen went home. This guy, the day's work came, his clothes were soaked several times, not to mention, his clothes and body were smeared black by all kinds of dust and oil smoke.
Whether it is a plasterer, a stonemason, a carpenter, an electrician, as long as it is related to the construction of a house, there is no one who is not tired or dirty, Xu Zhen knows that his father used to repair the commercial houses in the city and lay bricks in the city, which is also bitter and tiring, compared to carpenters and stonemasons, bricklayers are more bitter is that the corrosiveness of cement to human skin and the damage of cement dust to the respiratory tract will be more serious.
Of course, carpenters and stonemasons will also have dust, and the damage will be very serious. And no matter how hard these types of work are, many workers at this stage do not protect themselves better, and are working in a primitive state.
Some college students think that they should earn more money than these migrant workers who work hard when they go to college, but they will never realize the hardship of doing these jobs.
Of course, Xu Zhen is a college student, and he sometimes thinks that on the whole, academic qualifications should correspond to income. After all, knowledge is the dominant force for social progress. (To be continued.) )
