Chapter 103: A New Home
When the new house was cleaned up, Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei personally watched it for a long time, and the yard was in accordance with Gu Xiaoqing's requirements, the cement floor paved the walkway in the middle of the road, and the places left on both sides could be planted with vegetables or something, and two persimmon trees and jujube trees were planted in the yard.
The entrance of the house on the first floor is made of two steps, all of which are made of concrete, smooth and clean.
The walls of the house are all white plaster, all of them are more than twice, the ground is all cement floor, each room is exactly the same, except for the difference in the size of the pattern, it is basically the same.
The stairs from the first floor to the second floor are taken indoors, mainly for convenience, anyway, they are all a family, and there is no division of anything.
The most important thing is that a small cubicle was carved out at the very wall on the first floor of the courtyard, and a bathroom was made here according to Gu Xiaoqing's request.
At this time, the people in the village did not have a bath, most of them made a wooden basin at home, a little less hot water, and just washed casually, only when it came to the New Year, they would go to the bathhouse in Zhenshan to wash once.
Of course, this is also for the wealthy family, if you are not rich, you still wash at home even if it is a year.
Gu Xiaoqing deliberately made the bathroom for the hygiene of the family, Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei came back from a busy day, and the whole body was either soil, greasy smell, and sweat, just making a big basin to wash, it had no effect at all.
It would be nice to have a bathroom.
However, this bathroom cost Feng Zhihai's favor, Feng Zhihai, the contractor, is also thinking that in the future, this Gu family's house will be so good, and then people will be able to make a name for themselves when they see it.
In the future, there will be fewer people looking for their own houses.
So as soon as Gu Xiaoqing had this meaning, Feng Zhihai boasted about Haikou in a big way, originally this contractor team also dealt with many people, first of all, there are many connections in this building materials and so on.
At this time, for Gu Xiaoqing's bathroom, but he asked someone to learn from those courtyards in the county, and Feng Zhihai bought back the shower head and a set of equipment.
After pondering for a few days, I made a simple earthen water heater.
A homemade plastic bucket with two water pipes for hot and cold water.
One followed by cold water, and the end of the other was attached to a tube.
At the end of this pipe is a small stove in the next stove room, and as long as the water is boiled, boiling water can leak down this pipe.
Of course, there are a lot of pressure and other problems in this, otherwise Feng Zhihai can boast that Gu Ruhai's shower at home is good.
That was Feng Zhihai's great effort.
This set of things is comparable to the water heaters of later generations.
But it's all a local solution.
This bathroom is a very advanced innovation.
Gu Xiaoqing was also very surprised after reading Feng Zhihai's process at that time, this uncle was a brain in the eighties, and he was not a farmer who had read a lot of books, so under his own description, he made this thing according to the gourd drawing, Gu Xiaoqing could not be surprised.
This is really the power of the people, which is endless.
Each room is equipped with a set of earth heating, which needs to be heated by a large stove in the kitchen.
That's a lot of work, too.
Anyway, in a word, these other expenses alone cost Gu Ruhai 1,500 yuan more for this house.
Thanks to Gu Ruhai's business has never stopped, otherwise he would really feel tight.
The new house is ready.
All that's left is to move to a new home.
Moving in the countryside is also particular, you have to pick a day, and you have to set up a banquet to invite people in the village, as well as relatives and friends to come to eat noodles, which is considered a warm new house.
The day must come down, and preparations will begin here.
Li Xuemei has been busy with this for the past two days.
I found Feng Butcher and bought a pig.
Feng Butcher and Gu Ruhai's family have been cooperating for a long time, and they both know the roots, and they added twenty yuan to the cost price of the woolly pig and sold it to Li Xuemei for a pig.
It's a favor that is half sold and half given.
This can be regarded as a very face-saving for Gu Ruhai, facing Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai, Feng Butcher also said in his head, "It's all from a village of the villagers, we haven't looked up and looked down, and we have cooperated for so long, so it will be regarded as a warm house gift from me to your family's new house." Don't dislike it, brother, this is also a thought. ”
As soon as he said this, Gu Ruhai was thin-skinned again, and he was very polite, and finally after Feng Butcher repeatedly said that if he didn't accept it like this, he would pull the pig back, and Gu Ruhai accepted it.
The banquet for moving to a new house was nailed to April 18, which is a good day on the yellow calendar, and it is advisable to move.
Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai are still farmers in their bones, and it is inevitable to see auspicious days in this lunar calendar.
Gu Xiaoqing doesn't feel superstitious, this thing is somewhat taboo.
Anyway, my own family is not really engaged in feudal superstition, this is to see what the days are not nothing, but can also make parents feel at ease, why not.
Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying were notified door-to-door.
Of course, Old Man Gu and Gu Rushan also went.
Old Man Gu and Gu Rushan both agreed to come when the time came.
What is going on behind the scenes, no one knows.
On the afternoon of April 17, Li Xuemei and Gu Xiaoying bought fresh vegetables and all kinds of food from Zhenshan.
It's all needed for the next day.
The next day, the master didn't need to invite anyone, they were all from a village, and someone had already come to the door to help in advance.
The daughters-in-law of each family came to help, which is also a custom in the village.
This aunt of the old Zhang family has already come.
With his two daughters, he gave Li Xuemei a hand, and today he will first make out the steamed buns for hospitality, which is a big project.
You are the master's family only to prepare more, and there is no shortage of food.
Therefore, this steamed bun was steamed on the first day.
Li Xuemei borrowed back twenty large round tables, each of which could seat more than a dozen people, as well as stools, all of which had to be made in advance.
There are also bowls, chopsticks, plates, and various platings.
Li Qinghai's family has already come back to help.
Tomorrow there will be no business for either of them.
Li Qinghai's family also came to help in advance, because even when it was dark in the afternoon, they didn't see Gu Rushan's two sons, if they counted on the help of the Gu family, then they probably didn't want to eat.
It's busy here.
The family has long been prepared, melon seeds, sugar balls and cigarettes and liquor.
Gu Ruhai also made a bloody capital this time.
The glory of this time in a lifetime, Gu Ruhai can't do without.
Probably when I married my daughter-in-law, I was never so decent.
