Chapter XXIII Reconstruction
When the four of them arrived at the hall, Lin Liqing looked at the wooden ladder, "I'm embarrassed to go up when I come back, let's see what's going on up now." β
Lin Guoye is young, athletic, walking in front, Lin Liqing walked at the end, she just came out Lin Guoye said solemnly: "Wait, don't come up first, this second floor is not strong, second brother, you see that the planks here are broken, and there is a hole over there!" β
Lin Liqing and Chen Meiyun glanced at each other, and silently retreated, the two of them listened to the sound of walking upstairs downstairs, and their faces were a little ugly.
"Girl, it's a loss of two thousand eight thousand!" Chen Meiyun was so angry that she wanted to ask for money from the Huang family who moved away.
Lin Liqing hurriedly took Chen Meiyun's hand and comforted: "Mom, the house has been transferred, and it won't help to talk so much now, let's see what the second brother says." β
After a while, Lin Guoan and his brothers came down from upstairs.
Lin Guoye took the lead in scolding, "Black-hearted things, this kind of building can also live in people, you must have been deceived." β
"That's not it, when I came here before, I heard the old man of the Huang family say that the second floor is where he and his little daughter live, and there are traces of beds on it, so I can only say that they have been lucky to live here without accidents, but we can't bet that we just took advantage of this renovation to repair together."
But Huang Jianbing has to know about this. Lin Guoan said slowly.
Huang Jianbing is the middleman, and they didn't say in advance that the house has potential safety hazards, but it is their fault, although they will not compensate the Huang family, but they must let the other party know what attitude.
Chen Meiyun was still not happy, looking at what was not pleasing to the eye in this house, and in the end, Lin Liqing even coaxed and persuaded Xu Hui's pork stall.
Lin Guosheng took a look, with his own wife here, he could just go to Lin Liqing's side to help.
Chen Meiyun originally wanted to pull Xu Hui and say well, who knew that the pork stall business had never been interrupted, and she couldn't talk about it for a while.
Not long after Lin Liqing went to the unit on Lin Guoan's side, two workers came to the door with materials, it is estimated that Lin Guoan had explained in advance, they first went to the second floor for a turn, and then came down and told Lin Liqing about the general situation.
"This house is estimated to have been around for several years, but fortunately, the beams are quite strong, and the thickness of the four walls on the periphery is enough, just replace the wooden planks on the second floor with a new one, if you don't worry, you can also reinforce a brick wall under the beams, and it will be no problem in another fifty years."
Lin Liqing was surprised and delighted when she heard this, but she also had some worries, "How much will it cost to do this?" β
The two glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister, Brother Guoan is a regular worker in a brick kiln factory, and he is still a small leader, it doesn't cost much to buy this brick, you can just look at the wages of the two of us." β
Lin Liqing was a little embarrassed, "That's not good!" The two eldest brothers are also workers in a brick kiln factory? β
"That's not it, we specialize in building houses for people, and we know people from the brick kiln factory, and this time it was Brother Guoan who found us, I thought it would be almost the same to do two days of work, but now it seems that it will take two more days to do it, but it doesn't matter, it's not a big problem." One of them said.
Lin Liqing breathed a sigh of relief, and honestly watched them rebuild the house, since it was to be reinforced, it was natural that the brick wall should be repaired first, and it happened that Lin Guosheng came over, and immediately went over to help after listening to the words of the two masters, Lin Liqing didn't have to do anything.
Seeing that they were working in an orderly manner, she simply rode a tricycle back to Jiaonan Village to continue roasting banana chips, so as not to run out of supplies later.
The next two days coincided with the weekend, Lin Guosheng took a day off, and just came over to help, Lin Guoan rested as usual, and worked together with the two masters to finish the important work on Saturday.
On Sunday, Lin Liqing and Lin Changmin came over, plus Lin Guosheng and they worked together, and they worked together to repair the oven and stove in the back kitchen in two days.
After that, Lin Guoan and the others spent half a day moving some soft furnishings in.
Lin Liqing came to inspect the results after selling banana chips on Tuesday afternoon, and the renovated house can be said to be the most eye-catching and unique scene on this main road.
The entire wall of the first floor towards the road was knocked off to make a faΓ§ade, and the two walls were originally to be painted with white ash, considering the cost, Lin Liqing asked them to paste the wooden planks and paint them, which looked clean and beautiful, and made two rows of shelves on both sides, and the innermost was the cash register.
Of course, this cashier is not needed for the time being, there are many people who are greedy for small and cheap these days, and she must always keep an eye on the door when doing business.
On the first floor, the original hall was converted into a back kitchen, without too much decoration, and two ovens were built on two walls, one can be used to bake banana chips or other dried fruits, and the other is dedicated to making snacks, and the two ovens are three times larger than the one in her house, which is more than enough to use.
A stove was built on the other wall, and Lin Guosheng didn't know where to get a big iron pot, which could be steamed, boiled, and fried, whatever he wanted.
They also made three chimneys that lead to the roof of the second floor so that they don't disturb the surrounding residents.
There is a solid wood table of good size in the middle, the board on it is thick and strong, specially prepared for Lin Liqing to make snacks, and the other wall is a wooden ladder, which has not changed much, but a shelf has been made under the wooden ladder, and you can put a tray or something when the time comes.
The small backyard that was originally used as a kitchen by the Huang family was built with a sturdy shed for firewood and urine buckets.
The same layout on the second floor has not changed, but the floor has been changed, the inner one has a bed and wardrobe, which is used for Lin Liqing to rest, and the outside one is used as a storage room for food.
The overall setup is reasonable, and there is no waste of extra space.
Another point, they took into account that Lin Liqing is a woman who loves to be clean, and the walls of the room on the second floor are also painted with white ash, and the windows are bright and clean, which is three points better than the Lin family's house, and it is even more incomparable to the Yan family's broken house.
The most important thing is that security has also been considered, there is no such thing as a rolling shutter door now, their stores here are sealed with wooden boards, which is not safe at all, Lin Guoan asked people to build a wall with red bricks between the store and the back kitchen, leaving a door.
If Lin Liqing stays here at night, as long as the store is closed, and then the door is locked from the inside, there will be absolutely no problem.
Because of the security issues, she even pondered whether to move here directly, but thinking that the child could not live without her, this idea was suppressed by her again.
The shop was done, and she didn't want to wait for any auspicious days of the zodiac, so she went out to buy raw materials the next day, and on the third day, a large string of firecrackers was officially opened.
Because it is a cake shop, she mainly sells cakes and pastries in this store, and everyone often eats those double cakes, pillow cakes, white fragrant cakes, garlic branches, lard peanut cakes, mung bean cakes, etc., all of which are made, in addition to the red bean cakes that are rarely seen now.
