Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

If you build a brick and tile house, it will be troublesome.

Bricks, stones, cement, lime, sand, all these have to be used.

To the north of Donggang Elementary School, there is a large kiln factory with red bricks, tiles and porcelain pipes.

For stones, the third brigade has a special quarry, which is used for construction and construction in the commune and Songjiang River.

Sand, cement, lime, there is a building material factory in Donggang, and they all have it.

However, all the above things are supplied to various units.

If individuals want to use it, they can't buy it with money, they need to approve it.

Fortunately, Xu Shiyan knew all the officials of the commune, and most of them could still talk to each other, so he found someone to ask for a relationship, and finally approved the note.

Then, I took the note approved by the commune leader, money, cigarettes, and alcohol.

Go to the kiln, quarry, and building materials, and buy all the things needed to build a house, and find a car to take them home.

Chapter 185

The real estate that Xu Chenghou and his wife had their eyes on was not small.

I also want to know that Xu Shixian built three rooms there in his previous life, and later Xu Shiyan built three rooms next to each other. Can the place be small?

Therefore, what Xu Shiyan meant was that the left and right sides were busy working once, and there was no difference between the one and a half rooms, so he simply built five rooms and occupied the space.

Xu Chenghou and his wife were hesitant at first. If they built five brick and tile houses, all of them would cost 800 yuan, which was not enough money for the family.

Xu Shiyan said, if it doesn't work, he will help the mat first, and when the four brothers come back, let them pay a share.

Xu Chenghou thought about it, and felt that since he was busy, he might as well build a bigger one.

The parents over there wanted to build five houses, and Xu Shiyan also planned to build five brick houses on the west side of the house.

Calculated in this way, the two ends add up to ten houses, and a lot of various materials are required, and the labor is also quite worrying.

Now it’s not like in the big house before, when the five brothers are all together, they can do a lot of work by themselves, and find helpers for the rest.

If these ten houses are all directed to helpers, it will be overwhelmed.

So Xu Shiyan was cruel, and found Guo Shouye, and asked him to help find the construction team of the Forestry Bureau, that is, Lin Jian.

The ten houses of Xu's family were directly contracted to Lin Jian Construction. They are professional and their work is much better than that of helpers who are found casually.

Anyway, the wages are a bit more expensive, but there is a reason why you are expensive. A professional construction team can guarantee the quality of the houses built.

It's impossible for someone else to do this.

Lin Jian is a public unit, and he only does business for the public, so how can he build a house for an individual?

But if it was Guo Shouye, there would be no problem. A few cigarettes, plus a few bottles of deer antler blood wine, once the relationship that should be left, it will be done.

On the other side, Lin Jian took over the Xu family's private work by taking the opportunity to build a public house for a certain forest farm.

Anyway, Lin Jian has plenty of workers, so it's right to be a big guy to earn extra money.

The leaders at the top turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, and the workers at the bottom got benefits, so why not be happy?

Bricklayers and carpenters are all included, as well as pans, stoves, and inner and outer walls. It’s just that the wages are a bit more expensive, but it’s worry-free.

After the materials are ready, Xu Shiyan doesn't need to worry about it. Only on the day of the beam-raising, he has to find some helpers to take care of the meal, and Xu Shiyan doesn't need to take care of the rest.

Xu Shiyan really had no choice, his father was watching ginseng on the mountain, and the two elder brothers were too busy to spare time.

Not to mention the two younger brothers, one teaches and the other goes to school, who can come to work?

Not to mention working, there were not even people following Zhang Luo, all of them had to point to Xu Shiyan alone.

He didn't have eight hands, how could he do it?

It's the best way to get everything out. As long as the work is handed over before autumn, the old couple can move in this year, and I really can't care about the rest.

In this way, on June [-]th, the twelfth day of the fifth lunar month, two houses broke ground and began to dig the foundation.

At the same time, carpenters also began to make beams, doors and windows.

Part of the carpentry materials were brought in from the big house.

After all, the Xu family has been in the Northeast for so many years, and they have not saved anything else, but they still have a lot of wood. When they moved, they even added wood and firewood, and pulled a cart.

The other part is the wood that Xu Shiyan put on the mountain last autumn and winter.

The wood was skinned at that time, and after a winter and a spring, it was almost dry.

A few days ago, I found a car to pull it down, and it was just right to save it for beams, purlins, shed poles and so on.

After working for many days, I finally settled the matter of the house. All the materials were prepared, and the carpenters and bricklayers arranged by themselves.

At home, Zhou Guilan and Su Anying are responsible for boiling water and hot meals for the workers, trying to take care of them as much as possible.

In this way, the Xu family's house was gradually built up in an orderly manner.

Xu Shiyan was busy with composting and fertilizing in the team, as well as building a house at home. Whether it was Niu Mao Guang or Gastrodia elata this year, he didn't have that time.

Fortunately, Xu Shiyan took the time to go to the county and sold the twenty or so dried velvet antlers.

The top-quality velvet antler costs 38 yuan a tael, and each piece of dried velvet antler is about two and a half to three taels, and you can buy about one hundred.

In the end, I got more than 400 yuan, which was more than enough to build a house.

After busy work, it was late July, when Xu Shixiang came back from Tonghua.

With the helper of the fifth child, Xu Shiyan was immediately relieved, at least someone was watching at the other end of the house, so he could free up his hands and work on the ground.

On July 26, the third day of the sixth lunar month, Xu's house was erected.

Xu Shixian and Xu Shi'an both asked for leave to come here, and Xu Shide came here after the summer vacation and has been helping here.

Not only the Xu family brothers, but also Zhou Guilan's natal nephews, nephews, and Su Weizhong, Su Weicheng and other relatives living in Daying also came to help.

Xu Shiyan's job in the Donggang Commune was not bad, and he had a lot of people. The apprentices he brought, when they learned that Xu's house was going to be erected, they all came to help.

Even Han Limin, who didn't know how he heard about it, came here specially.

Fortunately, there are a lot of people. There are ten houses on both sides, all of which have to be erected. If there are fewer people, it is really not enough.

So, the manpower was divided into two groups, each led by carpenters and bricklayers, and began to work.

Liang Tuo had already made it, and the main beam in the middle was tied with red cloth strips and copper coins.

Xu Shide wrote two couplets of Shangliang Daji in advance and pasted them on the brick walls.

Someone was standing on top of the shelf with a bunch of firecrackers in his hand, and another was holding a small basket with candy in his hand.

The carpenter directed the people to hoist the main beam in the middle to the roof, and then used various tools to correct the direction and fix the position.

At the same time, someone lit firecrackers.

There was a crackling sound, accompanied by red confetti flying all over the sky, and the air was full of the smell of burning sulfur.

The person carrying the basket sprinkled candy down one by one, and a group of children below came to grab it.

Building a house and erecting beams is also a major event. The picture shows a festive and lively scene. No one would think that the children are making trouble, and they all laugh and watch them grab candy.

Others will go to the basket to grab another handful and distribute it to the children who didn't grab it.

The main girder is fixed, and then the other girders are also lifted up to find the correct direction and position, and then nailed obliquely with wooden poles or boards, also called dalazi.

The beams are all fixed, and then the purlins, eight boards, shed poles, and shed boards are nailed.

The Xu family built a brick-and-tiled house with a new structure, with tiles on the top and white ash sheds on the bottom.

In order to keep warm, a mixture of yellow mud and sawdust is pasted on the shed board, and then covered with a thick layer of sawdust.

In this way, the workload will be much larger, and fortunately there are so many people to help.

Everyone divided labor and cooperated according to the requirements of the foreman, each doing their own work, in an orderly manner, without any chaos, and the progress was very fast.

By one o'clock at noon, all the tiles were hung, and the shed mud and sawdust were all pressed.

According to the rules, on the day of raising the beam, the host will prepare a sumptuous feast for the helpers.

For today's meal, Xu Shiyan also spent a lot of thought.

The meat tickets that Xu Shiqin had saved up for several months, plus the tickets from Guo Shouye, were all given to Xu Shixiang.

One day in advance, I searched for meat in Songjianghe and various non-staple food stores in the county, and I bought a lot of people who didn't need a ticket.

In addition, there is everything in the vegetable garden this season, so this meal is very hearty.

Chapter 186 News

The meal at noon was of course arranged at Xu Shiyan's house.

Xue Xiulin, Wei Mingrong, Wu Qiuyan, these sisters-in-law all came, and even Xu Shixiang's partner Chen Chunling came to help with work.

Su Anying has been pregnant for five months, her belly is sticking out, her figure is a bit clumsy, she can't do much, Zhou Guilan is making trouble inside and out.

In the courtyard of Xu's family, a pot and stove were built, and most of the dishes that cost firewood were cooked outside.

The two pots in the house are not idle, all kinds of frying and frying, and the aroma is wafting.

Summer is already hot, and cooking in the house makes it even more sweltering.

Moreover, there are many people who come to help, and the east and west houses cannot be opened.

Su Anying discussed with Zhou Guilan and decided to just set up a table in the yard.

Originally, there were several vines in this garden, but Xu Shiyan bet on a few more last year, and the poles of the vine trellis happened to be placed on the roof.

The vines were growing vigorously, and they all climbed up on the roof, covering the yard, making it quite shady.

So, in the yard, tables and chairs were set up and dishes were served.

Pork ribs stewed with beans, pork head meat, cucumber mixed with pig ears, shredded pork heart mixed with shredded green onions, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried peppers with meat, eggplant with minced meat, and tomatoes mixed with sugar.

Among the eight dishes, except for the tomatoes mixed with sugar, the rest have meat, which is considered hard enough.

The dishes were all served well, as was the wine, two bottles per table, and there was still snow-white rice simmering in the big pot over there.

The rice is naturally the fine grain that Xu Shiqin supplies every month, and he has saved it for several months.

Except for Xu Haiyuan, no one was willing to eat a little bit, and kept it for today's hospitality.

As soon as the pot is opened, the aroma of rice hits the nose, who would not be greedy after seeing it?

Eight dishes, rice, this is already a very high standard, whether it is a helper or Lin Jian's workers, they are all happy to see this meal.

"Third brother, it's all right, it's all rice, ouch, it's really delicious."

Zhao Jianshe took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought about it, and praised.

"It's good to have workers at home, and you can still eat rice.

Otherwise, it would have to be the third brother. The ten big houses at the two ends are all bricks and tiles, which look rare. "

Yang Chunming and the others also agreed, and everyone burst into laughter.

Xu Shiyan hurriedly greeted everyone to sit down and eat, and everyone didn't care about that. They found familiar people to join together, chatting, laughing, eating and drinking.

Above the head, the grape trellis covers the scorching sun, leaving a piece of coolness.

From time to time, a gust of breeze blows, bringing a burst of refreshment, and in front of you are delicious food and wine.

Surrounded by laughter, who wouldn't be happy in such an atmosphere?

Building a house and putting up beams is a big event, and it is even more a happy event. Regardless of relatives and friends, everyone is smiling and congratulates Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan together.

"Dear family, you have to be blessed, look, the big house with five bricks and tiles is now on the beam.

Waiting for the inside and outside to be tidied up and move in in the autumn, how comfortable it is. "

The older people gathered at the table, and Su Weizhong had to congratulate Xu Chenghou.

Xu Chenghou had to come back to build a house at home, and there were people digging and working on the mountain, so they helped to watch over him.

This is good for a new plant, no one cares about it, and it's not worth it.

In the evening, Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan can go back and watch.

"Isn't that your uncle's ability? If there is no third child, where would I dare to build such a big house, and it's all made of bricks and tiles? I dare not think about it."

The beauty in Xu Chenghou's heart, after living to the age of 60, he can finally live in a spacious and bright tile-roofed house, and this life is not a loss.
