My good girl, the old couple of the Lin family are so clumsy, they will think that this family is a scourge!

These days, he didn't walk past the Lin family's old mansion, and he could see the mess in the yard through the gate. Listening to those mothers-in-law who love to hang out and like to joke people, the stove and the house on the other side of the Lin family's old house are dirty.

In contrast, the dilapidated courtyard with two bedrooms makes people look more comfortable than the spacious courtyard.

Uncle Lu still can't come back to his senses, and Aunt Lu has already called Lin Baoru over there.

She used to come often, and even the spinach seeds planted in the yard of the second room were beaten by her, so she has seen a lot of changes in this yard.

Naturally, she was not at all surprised to see the shiny pots and pans, the small stoves leaning against the edge of the stove, and the chirping chicks that had been released out of the chicken pen.

Lin Baoru saw that Aunt Lu and Uncle Lu had brought someone here, and saw that the person was still carrying a toolbox, and after a little pondering in her heart, she guessed that this person must be the mason that Uncle Lu said.

"Uncle, auntie, you sit down for a while, and I'll call my mother." Lin Baoru moved stools for a few people, and then hurriedly went to the eldest brother's wing.

These days, the eldest brother's house is about to become a warehouse for them to make soap beans and beauty soap. Also a few days ago, Lin Baoru's arm was too strong, and now it hurts so much that she can't lift her hand, so Wang refuses to let her smash the pig's pancreas and the powder of the beauty soap anymore.

Therefore, in addition to chopping firewood and sending firewood to the Zhao family's restaurant in Jishang, the Wang family will help their daughter do some simple work whenever they have free time. Of course, the proportions in the girl's mouth, as well as the boiling water, she has practiced a few times and just started to be able to grasp it accurately.

At this time, she heard the movement in the yard, and quickly washed her hands and came out with a smile. After seeing the mason, she said, "The land should be the land we are standing on now, and the courtyard can be built if it is empty." ”

When the mason came, he had already estimated the place, so he also had a foundation in his heart.

"The big sister will tell me first, what kind of house and yard do you want to turn into, let's talk about it, and then I will measure the size according to what you said." The mason can be regarded as having built a house for half his life, and his craftsmanship and ability are naturally there. Not to mention anything else, there are several restaurant courtyards in the town, all of which he took people to make. So even if Uncle Lu said that this family would build a workshop, he was not frightened.

Seeing that he was asking for himself, Wang couldn't help but smile and said, "The matter of building a house was caused by my daughter." You have to ask my daughter about the rules here, she told me before, but I can't remember those things in my head. ”

When the mason heard this, he was a little surprised. He glanced at the clean and delicate Lin Baoru on the side, and saw that she was still combing two braids, so he knew that this was probably a girl who had not yet married. But the more he knew about this, the more strange he felt in his heart.

He has been building a house for a year or two, and he has never heard of such a big thing as building a house, and he still has to listen to his daughter.

If you want to say that the girl who marries is good, and wants to pull her mother's family, and turn around to make up for her mother's money and let her mother build a new house, it is easy to explain. But now, he sees that there are obviously elders in this family, but for such a big matter, it really makes sense that a mother wants to let a girl who is not in a young grade be the master.

Uncle Lu and the mason are old friends, and when he saw that he was a little surprised, he laughed a little ostentatiously, "Don't underestimate the daughters of our Taoxi Village, all the daughters of our Taoxi Village are like this." ”

He gave a thumbs up as he spoke.

"Do you know what life this family was like in the past? If you talk about it for three or five months, let alone you, I don't even believe they can afford to build a house. "Uncle Lu is really happy for Lin Baoru's family, but he is also a little cautious.

The masons who came here today are from my aunt's village. At this time, he raised the girl of Taoxi Village, and naturally passed the words of praising the girl back to the village in disguise.

"It is also the daughter of our village who is capable and blessed, so she can endure hardships with her mind and dexterity, and live a life with her mother and eldest brother." Uncle Lu didn't say anything about it, and picked it up as telling the matter of the second room of the Lin family.

mentioned that Lin Baoru, the Wang family and Lin Mancang, went to the town to sell firewood, and did business with others, but it made the masons rare.

You can't even hear about such a thing in a book. He has lived most of his life, and it is the first time that he knows that a young girl can still have this ability.

Not to mention doing business, it is not easy to lead the family to set a way to offer firewood in the same restaurant. If you say it, you will definitely make a lot of people blush.

Lin Baoru was a little embarrassed to be praised, and some put aside those topics and said that she was down to business. But the Wang family chatted with Aunt Lu again.

The mason heard that Lin Baoru made money and did not hide his selfishness, not only did he not talk about preparing his own dowry money, but also always thought about a few people in the family first, and couldn't help but smile and said: "This is really not easy, just with this girl's filial piety, I let the eldest sister's family have some in my salary." ”

After gossiping for a while, Lin Baoru got down to business.

"I was thinking that the house would be built directly at home. There is also a yard that is paved with stones and the like, so it will have to be cleaned when it rains. Lin Baoru said the plan discussed with the Wang family.

When I heard that it was a brick house, even the yard had to be paved. The mason, however, was taken aback again.

If such a large yard is built into a brick house, it can be regarded as a big deal.

In good conscience, he really didn't expect that this time it would be a brick house. Even if it is the simplest building, he can get a lot of wages alone. After all, a brick house has a brick house, and the salary will be higher than that of an adobe house.

"Do you have any ideas? How many rooms are to be built, and how big? The mason rubbed his hands together, and his swarthy face could not hide his joy.

Lin Baoru went to the stove to pick up a piece of firewood, and then pointed to the row of land in the main house in his yard, and drew a few suite-like squares on the ground, "The main house is a little bit forward, and two suites are built side by side." In the west room of the suite, please help see if you can build a pool with bricks and lime, which will be used as a bathroom in the future. ”

The mason thought about it, it was not difficult, and he could make room for a bathroom, and the place was big enough to be built no matter how he built it.

"I used to help people repair houses for wealthy families in the county, but I saw their bathrooms. In addition to the washing shelf, you can also make a hot kang, which can not only live in people, but also wash and wash clothes. The mason imagined it for a moment, and then talked about his own plan, "In winter, when the kang is burned, it can also boil hot water, and then give a water outlet on the wall, and draw a waterway to run water outside." In the future, regardless of whether it is cold or rainy, the dirty water that has been washed in the house can be poured out. ”

This is more thoughtful than Lin Baoru thought, although the mason said to wash dirty clothes, but she also understands that with hot water and bath buckets, she can take a bath in the Westinghouse in the future. This is much better than the fact that they can only scrub the house once every few days now.

"But if there is always water, will it be damp in the house? Will the wall be wet? Although Lin Baoru knew in her heart that since the ancients had built a bathroom like this, there would definitely be a way to solve her worries.

But this question turned around in her heart, and she still asked it.

The mason looked at Wang and smiled: "You girl, you are really careful enough." After speaking, he explained, "You just have to rest assured, when the time comes, I will first paste the waterway with stones, and then build it with the waste materials of bluestone slabs, and plaster it with mortar or mirage......"

"You just have to live in peace, it won't be broken for a hundred years." The masons smiled and made it clear, how could they not solve this little problem when they built houses?

Lin Baoru's core is a modern person, and she is not very proficient in the materials used by the ancients to build houses, she only knows that there was no cement in ancient times, so she is naturally still a little worried.

"Mortar and mirage, possibly firm?" She thought that if the materials used by ordinary people to build houses were not good enough, she would definitely choose more expensive but stronger and more viscous clay tiles.

The mason laughed, "A house made of mortar and mirage must be strong." Not to mention the side, the city walls that have been handed down for many generations in our county are all made of mortar mixed with yellow clay. After a pause, he added, "Although mirage is good, it is very small and expensive in our land. So if it's not where it matters, it's rarely used. ”

After listening to the mason's explanation, Lin Baoru was relieved.

In fact, it was not that she did not believe in the wisdom of the ancients, but she was worried that the masons would tell her cheap but not durable masonry materials in order to save money. If they build a house like they live in now, when it is windy and rainy, there will be a lot of yellow mud flowing on the outer walls and walls of the courtyard, which will give people a headache.

It's not easy to build a house, let alone make it home, so she always wants to do her best to be as good as she can afford.

After solving the worries in her heart, she pointed to the eldest brother's room in the west and said, "There are two small wings to be built here, and two rooms to the east, both of which are made of fire." On the west side of the house, in the south side, we want to make a stove room, so the stove can be connected to the kang next door. There are two rooms on the east side, there is no stove outside, you can help me and keep a stove like a fire cage in the house......"

After talking about the layout of the yard, she planned the open space behind the house.

"Here I want to make a workshop, Xiangyang's side to make a room to dry things, can't see the sun, to do a warehouse, to the east side needs to build a large room, which is divided into several small rooms......"

It is impossible to build the workshop into a regular assembly line like in the previous life. However, she tried her best to separate the various processes at the beginning of the arrangement, so that everyone could perform their own duties when hiring people to work in the future.
