After eating, he said to Yan Bugui: "Dad, where can we find masons and carpenters around here." ”

"What, you're going to renovate those three inverted rooms?" Yan Bugui asked.

"Yes! Li Yuanchao of the old Li family will move to a new house tomorrow, I don't want to repair the house so that I can live in it. ”

"Do you have the money to decorate this? You still haven't paid 400 yuan to buy a house, so don't be unable to pay when the time comes. ”

Yan Fugui looked at Yan Jiecheng with suspicion, this is really thinking about one out of the other, and the money to buy the house has not been given yet, so he is thinking about decorating the house.

"I don't have any money, don't you have money? The money for the renovation of the house, you borrow me first, I earn the money and slowly repay you, you can't ask me for interest as a family, right? ”

Yan Jiecheng was ready to tease this old man and told him to slam the door like this.

"What do you want, you still borrow money from me, you go out and inquire, don't talk about our courtyard, it's the whole street who borrowed a penny from me," After speaking, Yan Fugui picked up the teapot and took a sip of it.

"Dad, you have such a big reputation for slamming the door, you even know the whole street." Yan Xie had an incredible expression on his face.

"What do you mean by me slamming the door, I want to lend money to others, I have to have it! In the past, my salary as one person supported our family of six, and I could save up to ten yuan a year, and I started working from you, so I could save more money. Yan Bugui explained.

"I'm teaseing you, I don't want you to borrow money, you first tell me where to find this mason and carpenter, I have my own way to deal with money." Yan Jiecheng said seriously.

Yan Bu lowered his head and thought for a while: "My student's parents have carpenters and masons, when will you use me to help you find them." ”

"The day after tomorrow, when the old Li family vacates the house, we will start repairing it."

"You're in such a hurry, where did you get the money, don't do anything bad," Yan Bugui said worriedly.

Yan Jiecheng: "Don't worry, what bad things can I do, I went to the ghost market a few days ago and made some money, if others ask, you will say that you gave it to me." ”

"That's fine, but don't go to the ghost market if you're fine, this has to be seen, and there must be no trouble." Yan Bugui instructed.

"I know, it's not a place where our family has used a lot of money recently, otherwise I wouldn't have go." Yan Xie Cheng hurriedly explained.

"You know, it's done, you have also increased your salary, and when the house is renovated, let your mother find a matchmaker to tell you a partner."

"Okay, remember to tell the matchmaker to find me a beautiful one." Yan Jiecheng said jokingly.

"Heh, it's beautiful, beautiful enough to eat?"

"Although it can't be eaten as food, it's eye-catching! It's also comfortable to look at, and it allows me to eat two more steamed buns. ”

"Don't be poor, go back to sleep." After speaking, he turned his head to listen to the radio, and he didn't pay attention to Yan Jiecheng, this kid was too annoying to speak.

Yan Jiecheng came home from work in the evening and was reading a book in his room.

Yan Bugui brought a mason and a carpenter to find Yan Jiecheng:

"Xie Cheng, this is Master Wang and Master Sun, you take them to see the house, and they are talking about how to repair it.

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly got up and took Master Wang and Master Sun to the inverted room.

Master Wang and Master Sun went around from room to room.

"Open up these three houses, your floor tiles will have to be replaced with new ones, and the walls will have to be scraped white." Master Wang said, looking at the ground and the wall.

"Master Wang, it's appropriate to open a few windows on this back wall." Yan Jiecheng asked.

Master Wang thought for a while and said, "Let's leave four windows and make them bigger." ”

Yan Jiecheng looked at the front of the room: "I also want to tear down the front, just leave two doors in the middle, and a big window on each side." ”

"Do you want to re-open the partition inside?" Who's master asked.

"Yes! I thought of using wooden planks to divide the bedroom with a larger bedroom and two smaller bedrooms, with the living room and kitchen in between."

Master Sun: "How big are you going to be in this bedroom?" ”

"It doesn't need to be too big, the large bedroom is 15 square meters, and the two small ones are 10 square meters, and the living room and kitchen are not separated."

Master Wang looked at the roof and said, "Is this roof to be cleaned up?" ”

"When the time comes, you can show me if the tiles are broken, and if they are broken, you can replace them for me, and you can see how you can clean up this roof."

Master Wang thought for a while and said: "Either this roof will give you a roof to hang on the cardboard, or this cardboard will not last long, and it will have to be replaced in two or three years, the only advantage is that it is cheap, and it will be more beautiful if you can draw patterns on the cardboard." ”

"You don't need to draw patterns, just unify the colors of the cardboard."

Master Sun looked at Yan Xie Cheng and asked, "What kind of wood is this door and window partition made of, and the suitable woods are oak, pine, oak, and willow..."

"Then use pine, and you'll see how long it's going to take you to get it all done."

"Do you buy the materials yourself, or do we buy them for you?" Master Wang asked.

"It's better for you to buy it for me, I don't have time to go to work all day, you can see how much the total amount of money is even for materials and wages." Yan Jiecheng thought about it in his heart and said.

Master Wang and Master Sun calculated where they were, discussed it and said:

"This salary of fifty and seventy materials is about the same, and the total will not exceed one hundred and twenty yuan at most, and it will be sorted out in five or six days."

It's okay, it's not a lot of money, and it saves trouble.

"Okay, then I'll give you a hundred dollars first, and I'll give you the rest when I'm done." As he spoke, he took out the money from the space as if he was digging out his pocket, counted a hundred, and handed it to Master Wang.

Master Wang put the money away, "Okay, let's start buying materials tomorrow and come to work." After saying that, he left with Master Sun.

After watching Master Wang and them leave, Yan Jiecheng returned to the room and saw that everyone was sitting at the table waiting for him to eat, so he hurriedly went over and sat down...

Yan Bugui asked Yan Jiecheng while eating: "How is it, have you negotiated?" ”

"Let's talk about it, we will start construction tomorrow, by the way, Mom, tomorrow you cook more food at noon for the workers who come to decorate, and I'll give you ten yuan later, and you can take the rest of the money to improve our guys' food."

When the three mothers heard that they had money, they hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, your mother will arrange it for you." ”

"Xie Cheng, you have finished decorating, and you have to buy the furniture, or move the bed and table in your room, our house is giving you a cabinet and two chairs, and I don't ask you more, you can just give twenty yuan, how about it."

Yan Bugui was willing to give ten yuan to cook a few lunches for the workers, and twenty yuan for me to ask you for so much furniture.

"Dad, you think too much, can your broken furniture be worthy of my newly renovated house?"

This old pick, as soon as there is a advantage, he wants to take advantage of it, and he doesn't care whether he can take advantage of it or not.
