Chapter 11 Cobblestone Walls

The ancestral house of the fifteenth master is at the east end of the village.

This is the ancestral house field left before the liberation, because the fifteenth master of this branch is not prosperous, did not build a house in the ancestral house field, so it seems particularly wide.

In those ten years, cutting the tail of capitalism, the rebels asked the fifteenth master to take out the ancestral house field at the door of his house and make unified arrangements for the production team, but the fifteenth master did not agree. At that time, the head of the working group wanted to hold a criticism meeting of the 15th master, but the whole village did not do it, and after the head of the working group was smashed with two bricks in the middle of the night, and his son accidentally broke his leg while studying in the township primary school, he did not dare to pretend to be in Chen Village anymore.

In the year of Pilin Pikong, the fifteenth grandmother suffered from appendicitis, and the doctors were all locked up in the cowshed, and no doctors operated on them, and they died. After his death, the fifteenth master who was bored went to the river beach every day to pick up pebbles and came back to build a wall. Over time, two walls of more than 50 meters long, 2 meters high, and about 278 meters apart were built on both sides of the courtyard. The area in the wall is more than two acres, which is the vegetable garden and ancestral house field of the fifteenth master.

Whenever the people of Chen Village walk through this house, they are used as negative teaching materials to educate children, and see, what is called people are not prosperous, this is people are not prosperous! In the late 70's and early 80's, the whole country was engaged in family planning, and it became a key demonstration point for family planning. ”

In any case, this old house belongs to the fifteenth master, which is absolutely good! There was no objection from the whole village.

The ancestral house is very old, has gone through ups and downs, although it has been repaired several times, it is still a bit crooked.

Touching the pebbles on the wall, Chen Weizheng had an indescribable feeling, grandpa picked up pebbles for ten years, he threw pebbles in the space for ten years, could it be that he threw all the pebbles he threw for grandpa to pick them up? Chen Weizheng feels very mysterious when he thinks about it.

I heard that he was going to tidy up the old house, and the eighteenth master came. Ask him what he wants to do.

The first is that two rows of cobblestone enclosures are to be preserved, not only to be preserved, but also to be trimmed. Where there is a gap, go to the river beach to pick up pebbles and come back to fill in them, and use cement to make the top of the fence to enhance the natural resistance of the fence.

The second is to make a gate, a gate that can be driven in, the gate can not be opened in the middle, according to the five elements of feng shui, it should be placed on the left side of the front. A four-meter-wide concrete path is built along the cobblestone fence on the left to the bottom of the courtyard.

The third is the transformation of the vegetable garden, I want to dig a fish pond about half an acre and two meters deep in the yard, and then leave half an acre of vegetable land.

The fourth is to renovate the old house, and if possible, I want to build a new building.

The eighteenth master had words in his mouth, and put on a compass to carefully check the direction, and finally said: "In the end, it is a college student, this layout, clear and clear, dark yin and yang, Ah Zheng, talented!" ”

shook his head and left, and went back to tell Chen Baoliang: "Ah Zheng wants to get a yard, you call everyone to help when they are free, there is no woman in his house to cook, so don't go to his house to be greedy when everyone does something." "There is a habit in the village, in addition to the salary payable, the family must also provide additional Chinese food, Chen Weizheng is estimated to be too busy alone, so the eighteenth master said so.

After a funeral, only a few days later, the county party committee seconded the notice, and Chen Weigang was seconded to the county party committee office to serve as the full-time secretary of Deputy Secretary Zhao. Chen Baoliang, as an excellent village cadre, gave a career establishment. The Eighteenth Master knew that this was all a blessing for the Fifteenth Master's family, so he was particularly enthusiastic about Chen Weizheng.

Chen Xiaomei knew that Chen Weizheng had officially graduated from university and wanted to arrange for him to work in a department in the city and take the civil service examination next year. Chen Weizheng politely refused, on the pretext that it was good to be stupid for a year, I don't know if there will be sequelae, so I will raise it in the countryside for a few years, and if there is no problem, it will not be too late to go out and do things. Chen Xiaomei was also a little worried, so she agreed. told Chen Weizheng that he had to make a budget for the ancestral house first, and tell her how much it would cost. Chen Weizheng nodded and said, "Okay."

According to Chen Weizheng's construction plan, the first thing to start is the two broken walls.

This time, no one was needed, all the people of Chen Village took action, each of them took back dozens of pebbles from the river beach, some were specially picked up, some were taken by the way, and the doll who went to elementary school also went to help Chen Weizheng pick up stones if he was fine. It has only been two days before a cobblestone hill is piled up outside the gate of Chen Weizheng's house. Not only are there enough materials to repair the old wall, but there are more than enough materials to build a new wall in front of the gate.

Zhao Changfu asked the county cement factory to send a truckload of 15 tons of cement, which was enough to repair walls, build roads, and build houses.

Two plasterers worked for five days, and the cobblestone fence was covered with cement, brand new inside and out.

Liu Dehou's driver, Master Huang, took advantage of Saturday and Saturday holidays to find a big truck, installed an excavator, and dug out the fish pond in two days. Master Huang's level of driving an excavator is as high as his level of driving a car, and the eighteenth master said that when the fish pond is dry during the Chinese New Year, let him dig out the silt in the pond in front of the ancestral hall, and he readily agreed.

Chen Weigang asked someone to send river sand and flakes, and of course, Chen Weizheng paid for the materials.

Chen Baoliang organized the whole village to go into battle together, and first used a piece of stone to build a fish pond. In one day, the four walls of the fish pond were built, and the large pieces of stone used as much as possible were sturdy and beautiful. After the fish pond was built, a circle of marble was laid around the fish pond, and a wrought iron fence about 80 centimeters high was also made.

Then it was paved four meters wide from the gate to the bottom of the courtyard. Fifty meters of concrete road. All according to the national highway standard, under the 20 cm stone foundation, and then paved with gravel, cement mortar shakes evenly, between the cobblestone fence and the cement road, but also out of a 30 cm wide, 20 cm deep drainage ditch, the bottom of the ditch, with PVC pipe through the cement road directly into the fish pond.

A cast-in-situ reinforced concrete gate with large dark red tiles pasted on the pillars. In accordance with the local aesthetic habits and customs, a herringbone door roof was also poured and paved with blue glazed cylinder tiles. The installation of remote control electric manual dual-purpose roller shutter is convenient enough and not afraid of power outages.

Finally, I asked the only few masters in the village who can build cobblestone walls to build the cobblestone wall of about 20 meters at the gate, and the yard will be considered a great achievement.

Chen Weizheng can't cook, but he will ask someone to cook, and the women's director, Aunt Xiuhua, organizes several women to cook. Chen Weizheng's meal money is very sufficient, and there are enough meat dishes for each meal, as well as pieces of beer, which has been well received by the workers.

Walk into the gate, facing a four-meter-wide cement avenue, on the left is a quaint cobblestone wall, on the right is the square fish pond, the fish pond area is not large, a little more than half an acre, the intake and drainage are seriously considered, it is a standard living pond.

Further inside, on the right is a neat vegetable patch, which is also square-shaped, fenced with wrought iron fences, and reserved for small doors to enter and exit. Inside is the reserved homestead, outside is the fish pond, the west is the courtyard avenue, the east is the cobblestone fence, and the area is more than half an acre.

In the innermost, there is an empty house site of about 20×25 meters, ready to build a new house, and the old house has been demolished by Chen Weizheng.

After much consideration, Chen Weizheng decided to build a two-story frame structure brick house. From a distance, it is not much different from the surrounding villagers' buildings, in recent years, there have been more people working outside in Chen Village, and many people have built new houses, all of which are three- and four-story up.

The foundation is a four-story foundation, and the house is temporarily two-storey, and it will be better to add it if necessary.

The first floor is 150 square meters, the specifications are 10 meters deep, 15 meters long, 4 meters high, and the floor is tiled. The four rows of columns are divided into three areas: left, middle and right. In the middle is the iron overall gate, after entering the gate, the whole wall of the ancestral tablet is greeted by the tablet, under the tablet, is the Vietnamese red sour branch eight immortal table that is brought back from Qingshui, the eight immortal table is a red sour branch Taishi chair on one side, this set of belongings, let the eighteen masters red for a long time. He said that in the past, their family also had it, the pear wood one, which was taken away and burned in those ten years.

Turning the Kexian tablet directly opposite the main door, the staircase and the back door to the second floor are hidden, as well as the public bathroom under the stairwell.

According to the saying that the five elements are born together, on the right is the overall open kitchen and dining room. Side-by-side refrigerator, Western-style dining table, wall-mounted super-large disinfection cabinet, super range hood. Induction cooker, microwave oven, halogen oven, combination knife, combination tableware, combination flavor bottle, porcelain bowl in Jingdezhen, iron pot in Supor. It's all things that the people of Chen Village can only see on TV.

To the left is the open-plan living room and tea room. Sixty-inch plasma TV, top-of-the-line home theater system, large leather sofa, Western-style coffee table.

The entire first floor, except for the back wall, which is bricked to the top, the other three sides are only bricks of 80 centimeters below, and the upper part is all transparent integral glass curtain wall.

Go up the stairs to the second floor, build a house in the countryside, like to extend more than one meter at the front end of the second floor, one is to increase the usable area of the second floor, but also to let the first floor have a corridor, a corridor that can shelter from the wind and rain. Chen Weizheng thought the idea was good, and floated out more than a meter.

Chen Weizheng has been in the city for a long time, and due to the influence of urban apartment houses, he has to make his second floor a typical apartment building structure. The back of the middle of the second floor is a staircase, and when you go up the stairs is a small hall, and the second floor is paved with composite wood flooring, and there are a lot of this thing in the space. There are two bedrooms on the left and right, each with its own reading balcony and bathroom, with the balcony on the side of the house. Each room is equipped with air conditioning, bedding and television. In the bathroom, the air energy water heater provides 24-hour hot water and five-star service.

In front of the hall, the small room on the second floor on the top of the gate is Chen Weizheng's special study. Since the second floor floats out more than a meter, this small study is not small. There is a Korean-style sliding door in the study to communicate with the room on the right, this room is Chen Weizheng's own master room, the roof, with a simple herringbone roof made of steel structure, insulated and waterproof, installed with a large water storage bucket and solar water heater. The washing machine was also placed upstairs, which was very convenient for washing and drying.

After repairing the house, the open space in front of the house is gridded, the so-called grid, is to make it a bit like the sidewalk green space in the city, which can not only digest the stagnant water, but also facilitate walking, and can also grow some green plants, killing multiple birds with one stone. In the future, it will be used as a parking lot, or do something Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing activities.

It's really cheap to build houses in the countryside, you don't need money for land, although the materials are expensive, the political axe is subsidized, the salary is not high, the contribution is not small, eat some working meals, drink some beer, what is it!

The older generation is basically a volunteer to help, the eighteenth master comes to supervise the work every day, you have to pay him, he directly uses steel bars to pump you. Uncle Chen Baolong, seventy-three years old, one of the nine members of the Standing Committee of the village, is the eldest son of the grandfather's family, the chief technical consultant of the house, the first to arrive at the scene every day, the last to leave, the quality requirements are so strict, even Chen Weizheng stuck out his tongue. Don't get paid, don't eat working meals, and finally, take Chen Weizheng's bag of Hongtashan every day.

Dig a small fish pond, and the county also commends college students who return to their hometowns to start a business.

Before the construction work was moved, the land office handled the building permit, and the director gave up the near and far, and Chen Village, which was one kilometer away, did not come to provide door-to-door service, so he drove a car to the county seat ten kilometers away and handed over the building permit to Chen Weigang and Chen Dami. It's all human spirits!

Pull a network cable, otherwise you won't be professional as an otaku.

Chen Weizheng called No. 10,000 for consultation, and the other party said that he could pull a special line for him and charge a little material fee, about 2,000 yuan. Chen Weizheng agreed, and chose a package, a broadband with a 3G mobile phone number, 98 yuan per month, and 98 yuan can be used as a phone bill.

Since you have decided to go home to live, there is no need to keep Nancheng's number, and to cut off Nancheng's phone number is to cut off Nancheng's historical record, and the new number is a new beginning.
