Chapter 46: Master and Apprentice
Through the contradiction between Tang Xuan and Bai Dongmei to the resolution of the contradiction, Long Yi thought that in the final analysis, it was because of the piano, if he found a place with good sound insulation, that would not happen, Long Yi thought about it and planned to dig a basement under the villa, and the whole family agreed, especially Tang Xuan raised his hands in favor.
Of course, professional things have to be done by professional people, Long Yi called Long Xiaoyun, and an hour later Long Xiaoyun drove to arrive, and also brought the design elite Pu Jianzhong: a thin and tall handsome guy, less than forty, with brown hair, graduated from a well-known university, won many awards in national design competitions, and was known as 'Brother Henry'.
Long Yi shook hands with Pu Jianzhong and said, "Henry! Good work...... I also ran over in person. ”
Henry looked at Long Xiaoyun and said, "Where are the words?" Thanks to the dragon for the opportunity, I wouldn't know where I would be now...... What are your thoughts and requirements for this project, tell me about them briefly! ”
Long Yi led everyone out of the living room to the courtyard, pointed to the east side of the courtyard and said, "Dig it down from here, use it as a gym, and then go inside to make a piano room under the kitchen, and finally make a small clubhouse under the living room...... How about Henry? ”
"Yes, I have to simply record the size of each area, so that I can start my work, and the piano room and clubhouse are the size of the kitchen and living room?" Henry asked.
The dragon nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Henry asked again, "What are the square meters of the gym?" ”
Long Yi thought for a while and said, "It doesn't need to be too big, fifty square meters is about the same......
Henry observed the terrain and said, "How about nine meters long and six meters wide?" ”
Long Yi said, "It's okay, let's go...... Check the size of the kitchen and living room......"
After Henry finished measuring the data, he quickly recorded it on his mobile phone, and said to Long Yi: "I will come up with three sets of designs, okay, take them to you to choose, if you are not satisfied, change them, okay?" ”
Long Yi smiled: "How can the famous Henry brother be dissatisfied with his works?" Definitely......"
Henry also smiled and said, "It's over...... Then let's talk on the phone, so I won't bother! Henry finished saying and went out to the door to take a taxi.
After Long Yi sent Henry away, he asked Long Xiaoyun: "Uncle! Do you have any information about the excavation and basement construction team? ”
Long Xiaoyun smiled: "What's this...... There are a lot of engineering teams that can do it! That's right...... Master Xiaowen has also done this, and I have seen it and it is indeed professional enough! ”
Long Yi asked puzzledly, "Master Xiaowen?" Who is it? How come I am not impressed? ”
Long Xiaoyun said: "Gong Lao Er...... used to take Xiaowen to build walls to do mud work, and later became a contractor, Xiaowen ...... It should be good for your master to do it, and it can be regarded as gratitude, how about it? ”
Long Wen smiled: "Look again!" My brother is very demanding, and my master may not be able to do it......"
Long Yi looked at Long Wen and said, "What is high?" Hurry up and call and ask your master if he is free, and let him do it if he is free! Since it's your master and acquaintance, don't worry! ”
Long Wen dialed the phone: "Master...... I Longwen ...... Yeah...... So, I'm going to dig a basement and want you to help do it, do you have time? …… Great, master...... I'll pick you up in a moment...... Ok ......"
Long Wen said: "My master just has time!" I'll pick it up, and I'll see ...... specifics."
Long Wen drove to Gongjia Village, which can be regarded as a familiar road, and Long Wen has been there at least five times. After Long Wen entered the village, he kept driving forward, and did not stop until No. 337, next to the master's house was a cluster of bamboo that grew very well, and a round jar was surrounded by green bricks, and two gray kittens squatted on the altar and meowed at Long Wen...... Meow ......'.
The door is half open, Long Wen swept the whole house and there is no change from the last time, all are simple and simple typical Qianxian style, the wooden structure of the gate is painted red, the left and right sides of the door are painted on the wall, from the gate into is a square patio surrounded by bluestone.
Long Wen entered the master's house with some gifts, walked through the patio and went up two more steps, Gong Lao Er was smoking a hookah made of shell shells in the living room, and the TV was on and the master was laughing.
When the two saw Long Wen, they didn't say anything, nor did they be polite, and they didn't have any life at all. Gong Lao Er took out a cigarette from the table and gave it to Long Wen.
After Long Wen finished smoking, he said to Gong Laoer: "Let's go!" Master...... Go and see, do it or not. ”
After seeing it on the spot, Gong Lao Er proposed that part of the yard be dug by machinery, and the rest of the yard should be dug manually, and the entire excavation would take a week at most, plus half a month for the watering part inside.
In the end, when talking about the price, Gong Lao Er thought that he was going to lower the price, so the price was inflated, and the quoted price was 400,000 yuan, Long Wen said directly: "Master! Under the premise of quality assurance, the sooner the better, I give 500,000 ......"
After Long Wen finished speaking, he took a deposit of 200,000 yuan from the room and gave it to the master, so that he could start work immediately. Long Wen was not ambiguous, and directly made a few phone calls, and the excavator and more than a dozen workers came in less than an hour and immediately started working.
The workers had lunch lunches, and the yard was dug at nine o'clock in the evening on the first day, and the workers finished their work, and the excavator drove away.
Yu Bo looked at Long Yi with a smile and said, "Regret it, right?" Husband ......"
Unexpectedly, Long Yi said, "What do you regret? Think about it in the future, you can have a happy fitness, happy playing the piano, ah! Don't be too cool......"
Yu Bo liked to see Long Yi's expression the most, and he was stunned for more than ten seconds, and Long shook his hand in front of Yu Bo's eyes and said, "What's wrong?" Doesn't it feel beautiful just thinking about it? ”
Yu Bo nodded, but his gaze did not take his eyes away: "It's beautiful!" ”
Early the next morning, the first thing Long Yi came to see the future gym was, and came down from the upstairs in a slippers and a white vest.
"Oh my God! Fish farming! Long Yi looked at a pool of turbid stagnant water and cried.
Yu Bo also ran down from the upstairs, looking at a pool of water and at a loss, but turned his head to look at Long Yi as if he was asking what to do.
Bai Dongmei and Long Xiaopeng also came out, and the last ones to come out were Long Wen and Tang Xuan, just when everyone was looking at each other, Long Wen called the master and asked him to bring a water pump.
"Normal! You don't want to think there's a lake next to you...... This time, the construction became more difficult, and the water had to be pumped at any time. Long Wen said strangely.
Tang Xuan said worriedly: "Isn't it very trendy after that?" Musical instruments can't get wet, how can this be? ”
Long Wen comforted: "Don't worry! Minor problem, finished than upstairs drier...... Then I'm going to work, brother! Here you look at the ......."
Long Yi said, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" Why don't you have breakfast before you go? ”
Long Wen said, "No...... It's good to buy some halfway through...... Xuan'er ...... You're going to buy breakfast, right? There's nothing to see about it! ”
After Gong Lao Er came to see it, he said to Long Yi while pumping water that he must water it as soon as possible, otherwise it will collapse when it rains, Long Yi agreed, Gong Lao Er first built a simple ladder to facilitate getting on and off people, and then took people to trim the dug part.
The workers were divided into four groups, one group continued to dig in, one group began to tie the steel bars, one group was welded, and one group was responsible for transporting the excavated muck. A small crane tower was built, which also saved a lot of manpower.
When it gets dark, all the pre-pouring preparations have been completed, and they are waiting for the concrete company's truck, and the fence has been dismantled to facilitate the construction of the concrete truck.
Long Yi watched the whole process, for fear that something would go wrong, at lunchtime, Long Wen pulled the master, Gong Lao Er did not eat with the Long family on the first day, and saw that Long Wen was also sincere to himself, so he did not shirk again.
Long Xiaopeng poured wine for Gong Lao Er, Gong Lao Er only drank a small glass symbolically, and the habit of not drinking at work has been maintained for more than 20 years, and he made an exception for self-deprecation.
The concrete truck pulled back and forth a few times before it was over, and Gong Lao Er scolded the person in charge of the concrete company: "Your company is too ink, you can finish it at ten o'clock, you can see that it is a little faster......"
The person in charge who was wearing a hard hat said with a smile: "Boss Gong, long live your understanding, I really can't spare a car to deliver it to you now, and the large army is sending concrete to the chemical solution plant non-stop......" After speaking, he quickly took out a cigarette.
All the workers finished work, Gong Lao Er stayed on duty, and Long Wen hurriedly cleaned up a room for the master.
Only Long Wen and the master were left on the construction site, and the master checked back and forth with a flashlight and said to Long Wen: "Why don't you go to sleep...... What to do here? Aren't you going to work tomorrow? ”
Long Wen: "Master...... I think back to the days when our master and apprentice were in the provincial capital......"
Gong Lao Er smiled: "Hey...... What's there to think about? Don't everyone have to look forward! Go to sleep......"
Long Wen: "The master didn't sleep, do you think I can sleep?" I'll talk to you ......"
Gong Lao Er didn't say anything anymore when he saw that Long Wen was so respectful of his teacher, he sat on a chair holding a shell hookah and smoked it, Long Wen sat next to his master and smoked, the night was very quiet, only the occasional passing car broke the quiet, and the car returned to quiet immediately after passing.
After Long Wen finished smoking, he looked at the master's dark and thin face was already full of wrinkles, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, and said, "Master...... You've been getting a lot older in the past two years, so why don't you think about retirement? ”
The master said: "The same people don't have the same fate...... Like you, there is endless money, my two sons are not worried at all, you said that if the foundation is not good in the future, how to start a family, the master is just doing his duty as a father, and now the sons are working in the city, and they want to buy a house with such a dead salary? Buying a car? Marry a daughter-in-law? ”
Long Wen didn't know how to pick it up for a while, but said: "As the so-called natural birth, master, you have also suffered in your life, and when it is time to retire, you will retire, and your children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren, right?" ”
The master nodded: "What about you?" How's it going? Now that I'm married, when will I have another baby, and my life will be perfect! ”
Long Wen smiled: "I'm nothing!" You also know that I have no ambitions, how much money is enough? Three meals a day can be guaranteed, and being happy is a ...... a day."
After Long Wen finished speaking, he handed a cigarette to Gong Lao Er, and lit one himself and smoked it.
Gong Lao Er took out his mobile phone and looked at it carefully and said, "It's past two o'clock...... Go to sleep! I'm going to sleep when I look at it again......"
Long Wen nodded and walked to the room, walked a few steps and turned back to look at the master who was checking the construction site with a flashlight, and the master insisted on his dedication and responsible attitude for decades, which made him admire it very much. Pushing open the door of the room, his wife Tang Xuan was already asleep.
