"Yes, team leader, you also designed a bathroom in the master bedroom, to be honest, I am really envious"

Xia Lan also happened to be a lemon.

Qin Huairu, who had been silent next to him, knew how happy he was at this time.

Even Chen Xiaoxian and the others are so envious, and they can see how avant-garde and convenient the move of designing a bathroom in the master bedroom for many years has been.

"Toilet flush toilet, as well as running water, plus this door, you are too powerful, team leader, so that the bathroom will not smell at all"

Zhang Qiancheng commented on the head, and said all the advantages of the bathroom.

In this era, many places were public restrooms, and there were very few private toilets.

Toilet toilets aren't unusual, and with a flush and other design, it's a surprise.

You can add tap water, then the whole combination is really enjoyable life.

Many years smiled and said:

"These are very simple architectural applications, after you have seen them, you can also go back to design them yourself, and find a decorator to renovate them yourself."

"It's only September, and it's two months until November, so there's just a lot of time."

After entering November, the capital will enter winter, when the weather is cold, it is not suitable for decoration.

So, if you want to renovate your house, you have to do it as soon as possible.

When Chen Xiaoxian and the others heard this, they nodded again and again.

Yes, they can design their own, but when it comes to tap water, they also have a crush on it.

"Tap water is also simple, you dig a well at home, and when the time comes, you can buy me an automatic water pump for thirteen yuan."

Hearing this for many years, Hu Shufen asked curiously, "Team leader, what about the water pipes?" Why does this faucet of yours look like it's made of copper? ”

Poof!

Qin Huairu couldn't hold back, and suddenly laughed.

As a result, everyone looked at her, which made her blush.

Hu Shufen was a little displeased, but she didn't show it, she didn't understand why Qin Huairu suddenly laughed, did she say the wrong thing?

Many years glared at Qin Huairu and explained:

"This is not copper, but bamboo, bamboo roots to be exact, gadgets I made myself."

The faucet switch is a fairly simple device, and copper or iron metal products are preferred.

But it's too expensive, and I can't afford it for years.

Even with iron, he wouldn't be able to make a faucet, because you have to have the equipment to make it.

However, the skill level of the ancient craftsmen is very impressive.

There was a time in his last life, he watched some videos of the carving process and fell in love with it.

So, I also took the time to study and carved a lot of gadgets.

Later, because of the video of building a house with bare hands in those primeval forests in foreign countries, it became popular again, and many years ago, the research on mortise and tenon technology began.

For many years, building a house in the wilderness did not buy ready-made water pipes like those foreigners, but directly built them themselves.

He was originally engaged in construction, so he is still very good at building wooden houses.

It's just that his videos didn't catch fire, and he didn't make much money.

Sometimes, he thinks his luck is really bad.

Obviously, he started with a good hand, but he was beaten to a pulp, and there were a lot of things, but none of them could make him achieve the goal of honorable retirement.

The main thing is to follow the trend and then put all your savings into it.

The legendary deity of the unjust head is him.

Of course, it is precisely because of these experiences that he can create a comfortable living environment for himself in this era.

Hu Shufen blushed when she boarded, it turned out that it was not a copper faucet, but a bamboo root.

Embarrassed!

Chen Xiaoxian and the others were amazed by the side, and they stared at the faucet closely.

I found that I had used some special tung oil for many years, which made the faucet look very realistic.

But whether it should be said or not, this faucet is really good-looking.

"Team leader, does this faucet sell? I want one, no, two. ”

After reading it, Chen Xiaoxian was the first to speak.

Zou Fangyi and the others also hurriedly followed, and they all said that they wanted a faucet, even if they were willing to spend money.

"You don't need money, you can find the right bamboo roots with me when the time comes, but you can either pay for the cost of tung oil and these materials, or buy it yourself."

Helping them make it for free was originally a matter of benefit and no expense, and there was no loss for many years.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoxian and the others were happy.

They all said that there was no problem.

This is the end of the house tour.

The small room next door was so small that everyone just looked at it and left.

After sending Chen Xiaoxian and them away, he entered the inverted room many years ago and began to decorate his study.

The big bookcase was moved in, and then there were several large bookshelves on the three walls, and a batch of books had to be purchased to fill it up.

Books weren't meant to decorate the house, but to his own needs.

In his last life, he had read a lot of miscellaneous books, especially in the more than ten or twenty years of university and translation, and he had read a lot of books from ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

"Xiaoru, let's go, follow me to buy books."

After looking at the slightly empty study, he said to Qin Huairu, who was still busy scrubbing the big bookcase.

The latter was stunned, and then panicked and said, "But I can't read and write, so I can't help." ”

"Who was born literate? Let's go, I'll take you there, just choose some books that are suitable for you, and in the future, I'll teach you to read."

"Really? Brother Anian, are you willing to teach me literacy? When Qin Huairu heard this, he immediately asked in great surprise.

For a long time, she was only a graduate of the literacy class, and she was very inferior in terms of knowledge.

Especially seeing that she has become better and better over the years, she is proud and has a stronger sense of inferiority.

When she is free, she also thinks about reading and reading, especially when Xu Xiaoqian and her homework are reading, she will also come over.

I only memorized one or two words at a time, and over this time, I also memorized more than ten words.

But I still can't write.

Although she had never despised her in this regard for many years, she was even careful to maintain her self-esteem in this regard.

She was impressed, but she also wanted to be a little closer to him.

But she didn't dare to let her teach her literacy for many years, she wanted to come by herself, and she was afraid of tiring him, after all, he was usually very busy.

"Why not?"

For many years, he smiled, didn't take it seriously, and beckoned:

"Let's go, let's go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy books."

At the door, Xu Weidong, who was playing with his friends, heard that he was going out, so the little guy hurriedly ran over:

"Third uncle, third uncle, I also want to go to Xinhua Bookstore."

"What are you doing in the bookstore? Stay at home and wait until we get back. ”

Xu Weidong, the little guy, suddenly flattened his mouth and looked at his third uncle dissatisfied.

"Third uncle, don't you hurt me anymore?"

"It's an itchy butt, isn't it? Follow me for this trick? Come on, come on, see if I don't fix you."

Swish!

Seeing his third uncle looking for a broom, he pulled his legs and ran, and after a while, he disappeared.

Small short legs, but not slow.

Without the annoying little guy, he pushed the bicycle for many years and carried Qin Huairu out of the courtyard.

Xinhua Bookstore was born in the sound of artillery fire from the liberation of Beiping, and its establishment opened the journey of "Jinjie has the fragrance of books and culture runs Beijing".

In 1950, the bookstore moved from a humble store to a four-story building, and with the expansion of the business area, it became the largest bookstore in China and even Asia at that time with the largest variety and the most abundant storage.

The bustling Wangfujing Street is full of people.

Many years ago, he and Qin Huairu came to Xinhua Bookstore, and there was a place to park bicycles at the door.

There is a special person to take care of it, and the fee is five cents at a time.

The fee is not expensive, but there are some pitfalls.

Walking into Xinhua Bookstore, there are many people inside, most of them come here to read books, and there are also many people who buy books.

There are four floors of a large bookstore with a huge number of books.

Qin Huairu, who came here for the first time, was nervous, looking at those who were holding books and reading them with relish, her eyes were full of complex emotions such as envy and inferiority.

Many years also noticed her gaze, but did not say anything.

There are some things that she has to come out of on her own, and no one else can help.

I looked around on the first floor and selected a few enlightenment books for Qin Huairu, such as calligraphy books, three-character scriptures, and so on.

At the level of her literacy class, it was just right to read this.

There are also books on mathematics, and I found some for her.

After finishing things, I came to the second floor.

Most of the books on the second floor are books on Chinese studies and ancient literature, while the third floor is foreign books.

Picking and choosing, he asked for a total of more than 30 books over the years, and these books were enough for him to read for a month or two.

When he was about to leave, he happened to see books on the bookshelf about Chinese medicine, and suddenly stopped.

Then go pick a few and read them.

After walking over, I have been sluggish for many years, do you have such a complete share?

Because the bookshelf is divided into traditional Chinese medicine books according to dynasties, for example, in the Song Dynasty, there were books such as "Yixin Fang", "Su Shen Liang Fang", "Puji Ben Fang", "Hundred Questions on Women's Science", "Women's Daquan Good Prescription" and so on.

Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been a lot of books on Chinese medicine.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 10 books on herbal medicine alone, such as Southern Yunnan Materia Medica, Materia Medica, Compendium of Materia Medica, Materia Medica, Materia Medica, Materia Medica, Compendium of Materia Medica, and so on.

There are also acupuncture, pediatrics, gynecology, medicine and surgery, meridians, etc., and there are hundreds of books at a cursory glance.

For many years, he didn't know what kind of capable person Xinhua Bookstore was set up, and there was such a complete set of books, so he couldn't miss it.

In his previous life, he had been to many bookstores, but he had never seen so many books on Chinese medicine before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

But when he was about to get the books, he remembered that the books at this time were not cheap, and he didn't have that much money to buy them.

A copy of the "Xinhua Dictionary" published last year was priced at one dollar, which is still very expensive in this era.

There is also "Chinese Bonsai and Its Cultivation" is eight cents, and the comic book "Life" published by the Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House in May this year is priced at one and a half cents.

Probably these prices look cheap but are actually expensive.

"Chinese Bonsai and Its Cultivation" is printed by the Shanghai factory of the Commercial Printing House, bilingual in Chinese and English, a total of 142 pages, priced at eight cents, which is not expensive.

However, the comic book "Life" is a thin book, that is, about thirty-eight pages, and it doesn't take a few minutes to finish it if you count the pictures.

and "The White-Haired Girl" published by the People's Literature Publishing House in 1954, with a total of 229 pages including appendices, etc., and the price is four cents a piece.

So, in comparison, the price is of course expensive.

As we all know, pork in this era was only three cents a catty, and the average salary of urban workers was only thirty or forty yuan.

If you buy a white-haired girl, you have to spend four cents a piece, isn't it expensive?

Not to mention, I have already taken more than 30 books for many years, and I have to continue to buy Chinese medicine books, and even sweep the goods.

In that case, the budget will not be able to hold on.

So, for many years, I had to pick and choose, and I chose more than ten books such as the Sketch Sutra, the Thirty-two Diagnoses of the Pulse, the Convergence of the Acupoints, the Recompilation and Interpretation of Fu Qing's Main Andrology, and the Secret Recipe for Bone-Setting.

As a result, the number of books he needed to buy this time directly reached more than fifty.

Hiss!

With so many books added together, it costs fifty or sixty yuan, right?

But he can't help it, he likes to read books and wants to learn more.

People can have no academic qualifications, but they can't be without culture.

When you have nothing to do, read more books.

Carrying such a large number of books to the first floor, halfway through, there are always people casting strange glances.

Qin Huairu, who was waiting for him downstairs, was stupid when he saw this scene.

"Brother Anian, why did you come down with so many books?"

"These are the books I want to buy, let's go, take your books, and we'll pay for them."

Qin Huairu was directly stunned on the spot, so many books have to be bought? How much does that cost?

When she came to her senses, she hurried to follow.

"Comrade, help me calculate, how much?"

The staff at the cash register, seeing many years coming, kept hypnotizing themselves in their hearts: Don't come to me!

But for many years, I went to her location, which directly made her face green.

There are so many books, and if you have to calculate them one by one, there is no one who has to do this workload.

Moreover, the abacus next to it, which was originally an ornament, is really going to come in handy now.

This is the first time that someone has bought so many books at once, and people nearby also cast curious glances when they saw this scene.

It's so unusual!

It took more than ten minutes for the staff to confirm the total cost of more than 50 books.

"Fifty-two dollars in total."

After hearing the words for many years, he took out five pieces of great unity and a five-yuan note and handed them over.

Buying a book is one of the items that can be purchased without a ticket in this era.

Qin Huairu next to him was taken aback, asking for so much money?

She wanted to hold on for many years, or she might as well forget it, but the latter had already handed the money to the staff, so she had to shut up.

took back the two yuan and seven dimes that the other party had given change, put it in his pocket for many years, and then picked up the book and left.

More than fifty books, still very heavy, but to him, this weight is nothing.
