Chapter Forty-Eight: Arrangements Before Building a House (Part II)

After sending Hu Daochang away, Liu Yi casually bought some daily necessities on the street and went home. This matter is implemented, the mother is very happy, at least the mother listened to what the Taoist said, the feng shui of the house is good, and the family will be more prosperous in the future, and the wind and rain will be smooth, what can be better than this!

The uncle was busy erecting the greenhouse of the vegetable base, which was quite invested. It was only after Liu Yi sent Hu Daochang back to his hometown that he saw his uncle go home for lunch. Seeing that the uncle is old, he is still old and energetic when he is busy with the vegetable greenhouse.

Zhilu Dao Liu Yi's family is preparing to tear down and rebuild their hometown house, and they also have some ideas in their hearts. It won't be long before Liu Yi will arrange to repair the bridge, and at that time the road can be repaired to the doorstep, and the fourth brother Liu Yong has not yet bought a house outside, and the housing prices outside are also high, so now he will build a house in his hometown in the countryside. No, after swallowing the dates, he came to Liu Yi's house after a few bites of rice.

As soon as I arrived at the door of Liu Yi's house, I saw Liu Yi preparing for a lunch break in the side room, "I said Erwa, your family is ready to build a house?" ”

"Yes, you see that the beams and planks of this old house are rotten in many places, and there are a lot of bamboo leaves piled up on the ditch tiles on it. You said that there are vegetable greenhouses now, and the countryside will definitely develop better and better in the future, and I have no plans to go out again. Now that I have a little money in my hand, I'm ready to build a better house, and I can't treat myself too badly, right? ”

"That's right, I'm just coming over and seeing. You see that your family is building houses, isn't your fourth brother Liu Yong not buying a house outside, I think he is also building a house in the countryside. My house over there is also a decades old house, and this time I am going to push it for reconstruction. Uncle said what he was thinking.

After Liu Yi listened, he took out the renderings of the house that his brother-in-law Wenquan brought to him not long ago, and handed it to the uncle who entered the house, "Uncle, this time my family is going to build a house that looks like on the renderings, what do you think?" ”

Uncle looked at the style of the house on the picture, "This is the house you are going to build, I think it looks like the villa built on TV." It takes a lot of money to build this, I think my house is okay, just build a 2-story brick house. ”

"Uncle, if you want to build it, build it all at once. In the future, every family has money, just to have a good living environment, I think you can build it in one step, if the money is not enough, I still have some, take it and use it first. Liu Yi was secretly happy when he heard that his uncle was also planning to build a house, and he was a little guilty of being a little negligent.

It's that no matter how well Liu Yi's house is built, if the uncle's house is still the same, it will be connected to Liu Yi's house. That doesn't seem the same thing, how awkward. simply encourage the uncle to build the same house, wouldn't it be harmonious and look much more comfortable and pleasing to the eye. Besides, the uncle has worked hard all his life, and he has come from poverty, where is there any enjoyment of life, and it is not comfortable to build a good house and live in it.

After some discussion, the uncle called the fourth brother Liu Yong to discuss, Liu Yong knew that Uncle Lu Dao was going to build a house in his hometown, and he wanted to buy a house in the town, but now he couldn't do a lot of things, so he could only agree and say that he would come back and see.

Liu Yi also made a phone call with Yang Yan, who made drawings for him, and asked him to make another drawing of the house. The result was lucky, the last time I made a drawing for Liu Yi, I reserved a few drafts, Liu Yi's first plan was on the look, so I didn't take out the back plan, I still have some regrets, I didn't expect Liu Yi to call him again, saying that he would build a house to ask him for a house design drawing, someone appreciates the fruits of their labor, that is also a sense of achievement, so I agreed, and asked Liu Yi to go over to get it when he has time.

The house drawings are done, but it's not over yet. Liu Yi took out his mobile phone and made a call to Hu Daoshi, Hu Daoshi knew that Liu Yi was next door to his uncle also wanted to build a house, and also said that when Liu Yi's family started construction, he came to see the drawings, and the geographical location of Liu Yi's house was generally very good, and there should be no problem with the construction of his uncle's house, and there should be no big problem when the time comes.

On the same day, Liu Yi personally drove to the main city to get back the drawings of the house that the uncle was going to build, and this time he brought back all the drafts made by Yang Yan. In the evening, the fourth brother Liu Yong also returned home, and he still had to care about the big thing of repairing the house, the uncle was old, and after the house was built, he and the fourth sister-in-law mainly enjoyed it.

When Liu Yi brought back the house design drawings he got back today, the fourth brother couldn't understand it, and he didn't reflect much. But when he showed him the renderings of the house after it was built, he was immediately fascinated by the houses on several drawings, and after discussing with the uncle, aunt and fourth sister-in-law, he finally chose a drawing with a stilted building with Liu Yi's recommendation.

The geographical location of the house on the uncle's side is slightly lower than that of Liu Yi's house, which is a mountain-shaped trend, and the further you go to the uncle's side, the lower the position. So Liu Yi suggested that they build a stilted building, which seemed to be very appropriate to nature. At first, the uncle was worried about the cost, and the construction of a house with stilts obviously had more capital budget, and more materials to be used!

The most reluctant, this is also the strong request of the fourth brother Liu Yong, and he also takes a fancy to it at a glance. It's just that the construction cost is too much to say, and seeing that Liu Yi supports him and solves the worries of funds, he is even more determined.

The next day, Liu Yi took his mother and the fourth brother's family to the city. The antique market in the North District went around, and the uncle didn't go, and the construction of the vegetable base at home was inseparable from him. Liu Yi mainly introduced the materials, dosage, and approximate price needed to build a house in his hometown to a few people, so that they could have a spectrum in their hearts and facilitate procurement. Liu Yi also wanted to find a construction team specializing in antique buildings by the way, but after some talking, everyone is not cheap, and the asking price of the construction unit for antique buildings is high, and it seems that this line of work is completely a profiteering industry.

Fortunately, Liu Yi didn't feel at ease to look for it now, the main purpose of coming out today is to find an ordinary construction team, and the houses in his hometown will be demolished, there is no technical content, as long as the safety is ensured, it is the same for whoever he is looking for. It takes several days to demolish the house in his hometown, and Liu Yi has time to find a few more.

It's easy to find an ordinary engineering team, and there are many migrant workers doing similar work around the antique market. No, Liu Yi asked casually, and a construction captain who looked like a small boss came over next to him, and the price was not discussed, saying that he would go to Liu Yi's hometown to see the specific situation first, and then say, "Everything is negotiable, the price is reasonable, and Tong Su is not bullied".

The houses in the countryside are easy to build, and the demolition is simpler, first all the roof tiles are removed, then the girders and many wooden planks on the roof, then there are the earthen walls, there are some bricks and stones, and the foundation is the last one. At that time, there was no cement, so it was not troublesome to demolish it, that is, Liu Yi's hometown and uncle together, there were many houses, otherwise it could be done in two days.

Things went smoothly, the head of the engineering team who came was surnamed Zhao, and he asked Liu Yi to call him Manager Zhao. I came to Liu Yi's hometown to see a few houses, and after the last time, I reached a demolition agreement with Liu Yi at 23 yuan per square meter, but in fact, the demolition price of urban houses was about 30 yuan. However, it is true that the rural earthen wall is not a little difficult for the workers who are accustomed to demolishing brick and concrete institutions.

In this way, everyone agreed that the demolition would start at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning according to the time said by Mr. Hu Daochang, and Liu Yi asked the construction team to be on time before 9 o'clock. Those who do this line of work know that there is a good day and an auspicious day, and Manager Zhao nodded without hesitation and agreed.

Leave the phone number to contact, hand over a deposit of 2,000 yuan to Manager Zhao, and then repeat the explanation that he must arrive on time, Manager Zhao nodded yes and agreed. Only then did Liu Yi let him go and sent Manager Zhao far away to the side of the road.

When Liu Yi returned home, the inside of the house was already unrecognizable, didn't it start to be demolished tomorrow, why did he get it up now. Busy pulling the mother who was tidying up things, "Mom, what are you doing now, aren't you going to demolish the house tomorrow?" ”

Mother looked at Liu Yi, "This is not to discuss with your uncle, the house will be demolished tomorrow, what should I do with these things at home, I will settle them in advance." ”

"Mom, then we can finish moving in half a day. Isn't it a ritual to demolish the house at 9 o'clock tomorrow, just move a few tiles on the roof, you can move the big things, and it won't take much time for so many people to come and get it properly for you. ”

"Those people don't pay their wages when they come, and they will spend less money when they move out by themselves," his mother retorted to Liu Yi.

"Then it's not busy, you want to move things to where to go," Liu Yi asked hurriedly.

"Just the land near my house, it's quite flat, just put a layer of plastic film on these furniture and electrical appliances when the time comes, you will go back to Luoshi Town to live for a while, the business in my city is not busy, and when the house is built, it will be almost the New Year, and I don't plan to do the business in the city next year." Don't you have a car, and it's easy to come and go here from Luoshi Town. Mother planned everything, and said to Liu Yi while packing up her things.

"What about the uncle, he doesn't have a house in the town, and he still has livestock at home." Liu Yi said worriedly.

"Your uncle didn't expect this, when you sent Manager Zhao out, your uncle contacted your second brother Liu An, who was working outside. Didn't your second brother Liu'an split up and moved to a newly built 2-story building on the side of the highway as soon as he got married, and now he goes out to work, and there is no one to take care of him at home, and it has been empty, and there is no shortage of people. As I said just now, don't move the furniture or anything, just put it with ours, and then use the house here after it is built, and move it to the road to go back and forth for a few miles, isn't that a waste of effort. ”

"I said Mom, a lot of old furniture and objects in our house can be dispensed with, just put them as firewood in the future, the house is new, the furniture is still these shabby, my son is in good condition now, and it is time for you to enjoy it."

"I'm very satisfied with you, but I don't know when you will bring me my daughter-in-law" The mother sighed happily.

"Mom, look where you've got, this thing is quite heavy. Or I'll come" Liu Yi was most afraid of his mother mentioning this matter now, so he quickly diverted the topic so as not to worry his mother.

In one afternoon, there is not much to say, and there is no less to say. To be honest, there are no valuables in the countryside, and those who have money have a few more household appliances, other beds, cabinets, tables, stools, and pots and pans. Because Liu Yi's family had just returned to their hometown, they didn't buy much things, and they moved out very early.

And the uncle's family is a little too much, just the grain produced by the family, sweet potatoes, grains, wheat, and rice add up to thousands of catties, but fortunately, there is a strong labor force of the fourth brother, so he specializes in carrying grain. Liu Yi also went over to move other things with his uncle after he was busy here, and he ran back and forth many times, and finally only the livestock were left untouched.

Dozens of chickens and ducks, a cow and 4 pigs are still in the pen (read juan four sounds), the uncle plans to transfer these poultry and livestock to the house on the side of the second brother's road, there is also a special pen for livestock, but this is a very difficult thing, chickens, ducks and cows are fine, chickens and ducks will all be caught, tied with ropes, and then brought over, cattle can lead the cow's nose rope away.

The four pigs are now 200 pounds, they are the New Year's pigs raised by the uncle, and they are ready to sell 2 for the New Year, and kill 2 at home (there are many relatives and friends at home, and one is not enough). In the end, there was really no way, so he asked the doctor from the village clinic to come over and inject a few injections of anesthetic, and Liu Yi and his fourth brother ran back and forth for 4 times before carrying them to the second brother's pigsty.

Finally, I was done, and I simply made a meal in the evening. Looking at the empty house with 2 quilts left, I just look forward to the demolition tomorrow.
