Chapter 27, the girl of four pieces of five
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
In the kitchen, many years said with a smile.
Xu Wumei next to them suddenly quieted down and pricked up their ears to listen.
Qin Huairu shook her head, "I want to talk to you alone, is it okay?" ”
"It's okay, I'm going to buy some building materials later, if you don't mind, come with me, we'll talk on the way."
Although he has not yet found a good mason, the mason is only a tool man, he has design drawings, and it is not for nothing to 'hang out' in the previous days.
Yesterday the house was in hand, and today we can go and buy the building materials back, and tomorrow we can start work after the mason is negotiated.
Even the excavation of the septic tank can be started today.
The sooner you finish and move in earlier, you won't have to suffer the stench of public restrooms.
Without waiting for Qin Huairu to speak, Xu Xiaoqian preemptively muttered:
"Third uncle, I'm going too, I can help you move bricks."
"And me, third uncle, I can also move bricks."
"I, third uncle, I want to go too."
The three little guys scrambled to raise their hands and wanted to follow, Xu Wumei also looked at her third brother expectantly, but she didn't speak.
"You all stay at home, I'm here to work, not to go out to play."
"Then why can the third aunt go with you?"
After many years, he glared at his eldest niece angrily, "I said it, don't call the third aunt, how old is Xiao Qin?" You've all called me old. ”
"Alright, let's have fun, don't mess with me."
drove away a few of their little children, and only then did they look at Qin Huairu for many years.
The latter nodded shyly and followed him out of the courtyard.
When they came to the street outside, the two walked flat, with a distance of about one meter or so, which was definitely a social distance for strangers.
In this day and age, few people hold hands on the street, except for the young ones who play hooligans.
"Don't you have something to say to me? Why are you still silent? ”
After walking for a long time, Qin Huairu buried her head in her heavy granary, and hurried away, not as if she had something to say.
"Huh?" Qin Huairu's face turned red, and then she said in a voice as thin as a mosquito:
"Are you asking someone to borrow money? I still have four dollars and five cents here, which is the money I usually save, and I have given it to you,"
"I know it's not a lot of money, but I owe someone money that doesn't work."
As she spoke, she took out a floral purse from her pocket and took out neatly folded worn-out banknotes.
The maximum denomination of these banknotes is only five cents, and the smallest denomination is one penny.
Looking at the money in his hand, he was so moved that he couldn't speak for many years.
Four dollars and five cents and three cents is very light, but her friendship is very heavy.
In his previous life, he had heard a lot of love stories about the fifties and sixties, saying that they were pure and simple.
Now he felt it.
Although Qin Huairu has never said anything like I like you or I love you, her actions have always been practicing 'I love you'.
Moreover, what I didn't know for many years was that yesterday Jia Zhang went to Qinjiagou and said a lot of bad things about him.
It was obvious that the confrontation was coming, but Qin Huairu completely forgot the meaning of the come, and only expressed her simple love and worry.
In the next generation, few people will give all their savings to their other half, regardless of gender.
And four yuan, five cents and three cents, is all Qin Huairu's property.
With such a heavy love, how can it be indifferent for many years?
sighed, and returned the money to her for many years, but saw that her face was white and tears came out of her eyes.
"When I renovate the house, I'll marry you, okay?"
When Qin Huairu heard this, he was stunned, and his pretty face with teardrops looked at him blankly, looking incredulous.
"You don't agree? Forget it, so let's do it, from today onwards, I'll chase you until you promise me, how about it? ”
"I promise, I am willing to marry you."
After returning to his senses, Qin Huairu mustered up the courage to finish speaking, and then bowed his head shyly.
At this moment, her heart is beating and beating hard.
Seeing her little daughter's posture, she has been thrilled for many years.
Fortunately, this is the street, and his mind is clear, so he doesn't show his ugliness.
"Alright, come with me to buy materials."
"Hmm!"
Qin Huairu, whose face was burned badly, followed behind him for many years, much closer than just now.
Outside the city, a company's joint venture sand field, for many years, the staff has purchased 2.5 square meters of sand.
The sand field is not responsible for transportation, so the price of sand is very cheap, and one side of sand only costs four cents.
The bills for the purchase of sand are issued by the street office, as well as reinforced concrete, etc., are all proof materials issued by the street office.
Sand is easy to procure, but how to transport it back is a big problem.
Fortunately, in this era, there is no shortage of capable people.
The sand transported to the city is basically transported by rickshaws.
One side of sand is about 1.45 tons, and an ordinary board car can transport a quarter of the sand at a time, and according to the distance, the transportation fee is four cents.
Two and a half square of sand, which needs to be transported ten times.
So, for many years, you need to pay four cents for shipping.
In addition to the sand, the cement is about the same, but the steel bar is a little more troublesome.
In the market, there are very few rebars.
Or rather, in this era, there is very little steel.
The country has only been established for less than a decade, and steel production is extremely scarce.
So, if you want to buy steel, it's not so easy.
Fortunately, there have been approval materials for many years, and there is no problem in buying steel bars.
It's more expensive than sand and cement.
By the time the steel bar was purchased, it was already noon.
"Let's go, I'll take you to something delicious."
When Qin Huairu heard this, he hurriedly said that he was not hungry, or he would go home to eat.
"It's so far from home, let's just eat outside."
She couldn't be stubborn for many years, and Qin Huairu had to follow him to a fly restaurant.
As a result, when she looked at the menu price, she was so frightened that she hurriedly ran away for many years.
The latter was speechless, he was a big man, and he was actually pulled out of the hotel by her, and his strength was not small.
In the end, the two found a steamed bun shop that sold steamed buns, bought three steamed buns, and solved a lunch with the water they brought.
That's it, Qin Huairu also said that the steamed bun was so expensive, but it was delicious.
After a brief lunch, the two of them continued to purchase other materials, well, some wood.
This time, instead of buying new wood for many years, I went to the thrift market or the garbage collection station.
At the end of last year, the Beijing Municipal People's Committee issued a joint report on the "Inspection of the Situation and Handling Opinions of the Demolished Ancient Building Materials in Various Places" and the instructions of Vice Mayor Zhang Youyu.
After the demolition of Chaoyangmen Gatehouse and Guanganmen Gatehouse, it shall be kept or disposed of by the Real Estate Management Bureau, the Road Management Bureau, the Finance Bureau and other departments.
In addition to these very famous city wall gatehouses, there are also some ancient buildings, which have been looking for these materials for many years.
For example, some wood, glazed tiles, rafters, bricks, flying heads and other building materials can be found in thrift markets or garbage recycling stations.
Moreover, the price is low.
"Comrade, do you want gold bricks?"
In the garbage dump, Qin Huairu, who had been with him for many years, was preparing to hunt for treasure, but he didn't expect to be quietly pulled aside by the staff and quietly sold.
