Chapter 40: Renovation

The wall is freshly brushed putty powder, which can be left alone, but the ground is the original cement floor that has not been trimmed, not only the potholes, but the cement ash on it flies everywhere as soon as you step on it.

In any case, the house had to be cleaned up before other things could be moved, so after getting the key, Zhao Qingyu went to ask the landlord where he could hire a bricklayer.

The landlord and his wife were very warm-hearted, not only helped contact the nearby bricklayers, but also gave her two generations of cement that had not been used up to build a house at home.

Soon, the masons came with tools and helpers.

Belch......

Zhao Qingyu and Li Feiyu, who was carrying a sack, looked at each other.

"Stinky boy, what are you doing standing stupidly, come here to help." The tall middle-aged man next to him was already talking to the landlord, and when he turned his head and saw that his son hadn't followed, he turned his head and shouted.

The landlord pointed at Zhao Qingyu with a smile and said, "That little girl is a guest, you go and talk to them." ”

Zhao Qingyu reacted instantly, the mason invited by the landlord turned out to be Li Feiyu's father, she nodded to Li Feiyu with a dull face, and then walked towards Li's father.

Father Li stared at Zhao Qingyu and asked, "Where is your family?" ”

"My mom will be here soon, you come with me first, I'll tell you how to get it." Zhao Qingyu said lightly, then turned around and walked towards the façade, Father Li was stunned for a moment, and also raised his heels.

In fact, Zhao Qingyu didn't plan to do much decoration, during this period, which store can paint the house white, even if it is a good decoration.

She first asked the price, which was exactly the same as the landlord, and then began to tell Li's father in detail about the places in the house that needed to be renovated, and asked him if he had a reliable plumber by the way.

Generally, in this industry, it is impossible to do things alone, and there will be some contact information such as plumbers, decorators, carpenters, etc.

Whoever receives a job can introduce others to the employer, and the next time someone else receives a job, he will be remembered.

To put it bluntly, it is a kind of joint and several cooperative relationship of mutual benefit.

Father Li must have it, but Zhao Qingyu didn't let him call someone directly, but asked for the contact information, and then contacted it himself.

In fact, she has already inquired about the price, and as long as the quotation is not too different, she will consider it.

When she took out her PHS and started dialing, she unconsciously walked towards the door.

Father Li in the house saw that his son was still staring at the little girl, glared at him viciously, and then scolded in a low voice: "Stinky boy, don't come here to help!" ”

Li Feiyu suddenly came back to his senses and walked towards the house step by step.

Father Li couldn't stand it, so he pulled the burlap bag in his hand and shook out all the tools inside, such as putty knives, bricklaying knives, trowels, etc.

"Okay, okay, you go back, don't stand here and get in the way of Lao Tzu's eyes." Father Li took out two gray cotton gloves from a pile of knives and put them on, saying.

"Dad, didn't you ask me to come over and help you?"

"They don't put tiles or paint the walls, and I can do this work alone in less than half a day." Father Li glanced at his son as he spoke, "Also, you just saw that the little girl's eyes were about to fall out, I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed by Lao Tzu by staying here, so let's get out of here." ”

At this time, Zhao Qingyu came in after making a call, and Li Feiyu muttered unhappily: "Dad, can you be polite to me outside?" ”

Hearing this, Father Li almost choked on the cigarette he had just lit, and was about to say something, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw the little girl coming in, and almost blurted out the vulgar words, and swallowed them back again.

"Xiaoyu, you should go back to study early today, don't be tired."

Zhao Qingyu stumbled and was almost kicked by her feet, Li Feiyu was just about to rush over to hold her up, but she had already stood firm on her own.

"Little girl, be careful, don't fall." Seeing that his son was embarrassed, Li's father hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege.

"Ah, well, it's fine." Zhao Qingyu was embarrassed to say that she was startled by Li's father's affectionate "Xiaoyu", but she quickly reacted, and people called "Xiaoyu" instead of "Xiaoyu".

At this time, Zhao's mother also came back from the street, she went to a nearby hardware store to buy an electricity meter and water meter, and the wire switched on and off the faucet and water pipe, and bought a stainless steel sink by the way.

Zhao Qingyu went over to help her mother bring things back together, and introduced Father Li to her, as for Li Feiyu, of course she ignored it.

The plumber soon came over, Zhao Qingyu talked to him in detail about the situation of the façade, agreed on the circuit that should be taken and the water pipe to be installed, and asked if there were any other things that needed to be bought, and then went out with his mother to buy the rest of the things.

Because there are no public toilets in the vicinity, Zhao Qingyu and her mother feel that they should repair a toilet, the sewer pipes are ready-made, but there are no urinals, and they are now going to the street to buy them, and there are many other things besides these.

Because there were a lot of things to buy this time, and they were also very heavy, Zhao Qingyu stopped numb after buying them.

On the way back, Zhao's mother wanted her daughter to go back to sleep first and bring her things back, but Zhao Qingyu resolutely disagreed.

Although she had talked to the workers about the general structure of the house, it could change at any time, and she had to be the supervisor herself.

After sending the things over, I carefully talked with Li Feiyu's father about some of the construction structures of the bathroom, and everyone started construction.

At this time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, almost ten o'clock, Zhao Qingyu saw his mother running back and forth on the street a few times, and the clothes on her body were sweaty, so she pulled her mother aside and whispered: "Mom, you go back to rest first, buy some good food by the way, and cook in advance when the time comes, call me to inform me, by the way, I will let my brother bring my English books later." ”

Mother Zhao nodded, sighed in her heart that her daughter's mind was delicate and meticulous, and whispered a few words to her before leaving with confidence.

Li Feiyu naturally didn't leave, he was wearing a dusty white vest, holding his trouser legs and working with Li's father in the open space outside the house with cement.

In the interval when Zhao Qingyu went in to talk to the plumber, Li Feiyu whispered to his father: "Dad, can I go home and change my clothes and come back?" ”

Father Li didn't understand what his son meant for a while, and asked suspiciously, "What kind of clothes do you change?" Didn't you just change into this dress today? His voice was not small, and several people in the room were still looking this way.

Li Feiyu felt a little hot on his face, and muttered unhappily: "Oh, what's the trouble, I don't want to wear this dress." ”

Seeing his son talking back, Li's father opened his eyes and opened his mouth to scold: "If you change your clothes, don't come, you have to be stinky and particular about doing a job, don't come out with Lao Tzu to do things as soon as possible, grinding and chirping like a girl." ”

Zhao Qingyu and the plumber master looked at Li Feiyu's tendons and meat, and silently stopped talking.
