Half a month later, the foundation was all laid, and Mr. Yin and Yang were optimistic about the future.

Erection is the largest project in the repair of the house, because the house at this time is a wooden skeleton, brick wall or earth wall only plays a role in the middle of the wood, can not support the house, there is a saying that "the wall falls down and the house does not collapse".

Liu Sanping and Daddy Liu worked hard for half a month, every mortise and tenon joint was made fine and strong, and on the right day, the chicken was killed and prayed, the chicken blood was sprinkled on the middle beam, and another red paper was tied, and then the people were instructed to erect the beam.

The main structure of the beams has been fully completed, and when it is placed on the ground, it does not feel how, and the situation of slowly standing up with a thick hemp rope is very spectacular, and Lily and Lamei look straight and in a daze:

The girder is decorated with five hemp ropes as thick as wrists, and dozens of young and strong young men are only wearing close-fitting single clothes, shouting trumpets in five ways to hang the girder several feet high from the ground!

There are also some people under the beams who hold on to the beams, so that it does not fall off in the middle of the waist.

Then, these people directly lifted the rudimentary beams and placed them in the hole in the foundation that had been set aside in advance.

As the pillars were placed in their proper places, the rickety beams became more and more stable, and the wooden pillars divided the space, becoming more and more like a house.

The last pillar fell into the hole in the pillar, and the mason and Daddy Liu sighed at each other: "This old bone is still a little useful." ”

Some people set up several high ladders, and a few people who knew how to work as carpenters climbed up the ladders and inlaid the pillars between the pillars, so that the pillars would be more stable and would no longer shake.

Liu Sanping climbed the tallest ladder to the side of the girder, knocked down the last wedge, and now the frame is complete, even if it is a few decades in the future, as long as the wood is immortal, this beam will not collapse.

Everything went well, nothing happened, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Lily hurriedly beckoned everyone to eat.

During the period when their family was repairing the house, they borrowed tables, benches and dishes from their neighbors for a long time, and even borrowed chopsticks.

The matter of erecting the sorghum is easy to say, and it has taken most of the day to really set it up tightly, and I am about to have dinner.

There was meat and vegetables for dinner as usual, some people didn't like to eat rice, but they liked pasta, and the lily also fried a lot of gnocchi.

To make gnocchi, stir a pot of batter that is not thin or thick, and sprinkle some chopped green onions into it. The rapeseed oil is boiled until it is 60% hot, take a pair of bamboo chopsticks and twist a ball of batter, and the dough falls into the oil into a fist and fries.

You can put five or six gnocchi in a pot, fry until the whole body is browned and then take it out, the gnocchi swells to the size of a fist and a half, the skin is golden and crispy, the inside is not porous and soft, with a smell of green onions, which can be eaten dry or soaked in soup.

After eating, a few people who still have things to do at home have to go back, and the rest of the people make a charcoal fire in the yard, and they are not afraid of the cold wind, roast a few sweet potatoes, and gossip.

It was boring to eat sweet potatoes, and Lily boiled some eggs and sent them away, and I heard the masons telling the story of going to a neighboring county when he was young, staying at a family's house, and seeing the hairy god raised by the family in the middle of the night

Lamei followed the lily with a stack of bowls, and when she heard that it was a ghost story, her hairs stood on end in fright, and she almost didn't drop the bowl to the ground! Fortunately, Wang Xiaofu was close, and he caught it quickly.

"Put the bowl on the table, you go back to the kitchen first. Lily remembered that her sister was particularly afraid of these things, and hurriedly told her to go back.

Lamei was ashamed and a little scared, so she hurriedly went back to the kitchen to find Li Caifeng and others. Wang Xiaofu smiled and helped Lily distribute the mash to everyone: "I didn't help much, so I'll toast you." ”

Daddy Liu squinted and smiled: "In the future, you will have more miles to toast." ”

The bricks had been shipped in batches, and the next day everyone began to hit the wall. The main house is built with blue bricks, and other people's walls are built with the thickness of two bricks.

The green bricks should be glued with specially prepared marl, and Lily went to see it once, only to recognize that it was mixed with a lot of glutinous rice flour. It is said that this glutinous rice flour plaster is no worse than cement concrete.

The wing room does not use a brick wall, two wooden planks on the foundation to create a space, which is filled with loess, and a few hardcover guys go up and tamp it with wooden sticks, and it is a thick rammed earth wall.

There is no carpenter for building the wall these days, and Father Liu and Liu Sanping went home to make furniture, because Song Haonian has no eye-catching furniture in his house now, and they almost have to make a whole new set of furniture.

Daddy Liu took extra pains to build a shelf bed, and the wood used was all pear wood, with a strong texture and delicate texture, carving eight immortals across the sea and various auspicious flowers and plants. Someone saw this bed and wanted to buy it, but Daddy Liu didn't sell it, so he knew that it was for Song Haonian. Father Liu said to Liu Sanping: "Danian is a sincere person, that year you went up the mountain to cut wood and broke your leg, he carried you back, and then it was just that there was no such thing, and he didn't mention a word to ask us to repay." He doesn't

I want to repay you even more!"

Liu Sanping said: "Our brother will not be outside in the future, and my father will only use this bed as my own brother." ”

Twenty days have passed, the brick and earthen walls have been completed, and a neat and beautiful large tiled house has begun to take shape, but the roof has not yet been tiled.

Liu Sanping first led people to build smaller fang pillars on the beams, and the rafters were laid with strong rafters on the fang pillars, and the rafters were laid from the middle of the roof ridge to the eaves on both sides. Then nail the planks to the rafters, and the house has a roof.

After that, Liu Sanping went to build the roof of the wing room, and because the wing room was a flat roof, it was much simpler than the main house because it was paved with rafters and nailed wooden boards.

The masons take the roof of the main house, first paste a layer of mud on thin wooden boards, and then place the tiles in dense turns. The tiles are one line of positive and one line is reversed, and the masons are experienced, and the repaired roof is material-efficient and strong, and will not easily leak rain.

The roof of the wing house is covered with yellow mud and green plaster mud layer by layer to avoid rain leakage in the future, and the top is plastered with plaster, and the plaster is dried into a smooth piece, which can dry a lot of grain.

The roof has been repaired, and only the floor tile house is left to raise the ceiling, and if the upper space is not used, it will be wasted, and it will be cold in winter.

The one in the middle of the main house has a roof, so that the rafters will not always fall dust, and it will look better. The two side rooms in the east and west have a floor slab, and the floor slab is erected on the firwood, inlaid with a piece of wood, and the connection is tight, and several adults can walk and jump on it.

Two wooden ladders can go straight upstairs, the upstairs is dry and cool, and it is very convenient to put some commonly used objects, grain cabinets, rice cabinets, etc.

The two floors lead to the roof of the wing, and a few wooden planks are used to separate the inside and outside, so that if you dry grain and vegetables on the roof of the wings in the future, you can receive the floors nearby.

The mason thought that he would no longer have his own work, and did not want Song Haonian to find him, so he begged him to build a kang in the east wing.

"Kang?" Taiping County is located in Nanzhili, few people repair the kang, the mason went to the north with the master when he was young, and saw the kang in the local people's houses, but he didn't understand what Song Haonian wanted to do with this thing.

Song Haonian said: "I heard that this kang is exceptionally warm in winter, so I wanted to try a kang." ”

His daughter-in-law is afraid of the cold, don't look at the recent days she has been busy inside and out every day, he knows best, she will hold the brazier as long as she has the opportunity and will not let go, and her hands and feet are cold at night, and she shrinks into his arms vigorously.

If there is a kang, even if he is not at home, his daughter-in-law will not freeze.

The mason thought for a while, "If you're not afraid that I'll fix it, try it." ”

Song Haonian was overjoyed: "I don't know my uncle's craftsmanship yet, just let it go and repair it, it's a big deal to rework a few times, although the materials are made, I know the benefits of my uncle's treatment of me." ”

This time, they went out to sell goods to the north, and they saw some northerners' big kangs, and Song Haonian took a fancy to them at that time, and pulled people to ask questions and ask many secrets.

There are two east rooms, the outer one is the kitchen, there is a fire pit by the window, and a chimney on the four-eye stove leads to the roof.

The mason added a vent to the four-eye stove to the inner room of the east wing, and the house was built to build a large kang in the south. The masons brought out their life's work, and the adobe and stucco were neatly built and built strongly.

Try it on the fire, it is warm and not hot, and the heat preservation effect is good, which can warm up most of the night.

The mason turned around and said to Song Haonian: "I think this kang is good, go back and build one for my own family, whoever sees you in the future wants to build this kang well, just ask him to come to me." ”

"I know!" it was rare for the mason to help him, and Song Haonian would also introduce some business to the mason.

Now the house has a big shape, two strong wooden doors open in the southeast corner, enter the door on a blue brick shadow wall, carved five blessings in the door pattern, there is a small house on the west side of the shadow wall, put some farm tools.

Bypassing the shadow wall is three large tile houses, four flat-roofed wing rooms on both sides, the materials and labor are good, and it is also the appearance of a magnificent family.

The interior of the house was still rough walls, and at this time, Song Haonian scattered most of the brothers, leaving only a few people who were particularly close to help, first plastering the wall with grass and mud, and then smoothing it with yellow mud.

In an ordinary farmhouse, such walls are sufficient.

But the mason remembered something again, and said, "The white plaster wall is whiter, and the house is brighter, but it costs more." If you want, I'll find someone to burn a kiln of white ash for you. ”

As soon as he heard that it was lime, Lily encouraged Song Haonian to respond, and Song Haonian laughed at his daughter-in-law: "Do you know again?"

Lily raised her head proudly: "I just know!"

She looked very delicate, Song Haonian's heart was hot, and she quietly touched her hand and held Lily's hand: "Daughter-in-law, the house is repaired, let's give birth to a fat doll?" Lily replied with a smile in her eyes, Song Haonian got a hint, picked up Lily and walked to the house.
