Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 29 Deliver eggs to the whole hospital

"Is Weidong at home? Someone is looking for you."

Hearing that the third uncle said that someone was looking for him, Jia Weidong stood up and walked out of the room. Behind the third uncle was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a medium build and a dark complexion. The two of them were let into the living room by Qin Huairu.

"I am Liu Fusheng from Dongsi Hutong. Director Wang of the sub-district office introduced me here," the visitor introduced himself straight to the point.

"Hello, Master Liu! Please sit down. I will show you my house later."

"Weidong, do you mean to repair the house?"

"Yes, third uncle, it's really inconvenient for our whole family to live in one room and sleep on the same kang at night, so I'm going to build an attic."

"Oh, that's it"

After exchanging pleasantries with the third uncle, he sent the third uncle away.

Jia Weidong took Liu Fusheng into the room to have a look and measured the length, width and height of the house.

This house is the west wing of the main house of the courtyard. It is more than 10 meters long from north to south, more than 5 meters wide from east to west, and the height of the eaves is less than 4 meters.

"I plan to make this house a partition. The height below is 4 meters, and the north and south are divided into 3:3:4 by 5 meters. The southernmost * is the living room, and the north is an open kitchen, a bathroom, and two rooms. There are two rooms upstairs, a study and a bathroom."

"The bathroom should be equipped with a squat pit that can be flushed with water. The bathroom downstairs should have a laundry pool, and the bathroom upstairs should have a bathtub."

"The kitchen should have a row of stoves and sinks, and the walls of the kitchen and bathroom should be covered with white tiles."

"Double-layer windows at the front and back, water inlet and drainage, small boiler, radiator, wooden door, attic roof with wooden planks for sloped roof, floor, wardrobe, bed,..."

Jia Weidong said as he drew a sketch on the paper with a pencil.

Liu Fusheng hadn't received any work during this period, so Director Wang hurried over as soon as he told him. There was no other way, as a whole family was waiting for him to support him.

But when he arrived at Jia's house, he was greeted by a child. Liu Fusheng's eager mood immediately cooled down, thinking that this trip might be in vain!

When Jia Weidong discussed the plan and specific requirements and drew a sketch, Liu Fusheng gradually put away some of his contempt.

"Master Liu, see if you can take this job. Are there any difficulties?"

"Little brother, according to your requirements, a lot of materials and labor are needed. The price of this project is not small. Can other people in your family take it?"

"Master Liu, the one in charge of our family is Weidong!" Qin Huairu said while busy cooking.

"Master Liu, please tell me what the regulations should be, so that you won't suffer a loss."

"Little brother, as for materials, everything else is easy to say. Cement and steel are very tight now and are not easy to buy, as well as boilers and radiators," Master Liu said.

"Master Liu, let's do this: I will be responsible for providing cement, steel, small boilers, and radiators. You can just write me an order for the quantity of cement and steel bars needed."

There are cement and steel bars in the space warehouse. There was a lot more when the farm was built.

"You cover all other materials. Calculate how much materials and labor are required, and how long the entire construction period will take." Jia Weidong took the paper and pen and handed them to Liu Fusheng.

"The materials and labor cost 400 yuan, and it can be completed in 20 days."

Liu Fusheng carefully wrote down the items on the paper one by one. It took him about half an hour. After calculating, he handed the list to Jia Weidong and said.

"Twenty days is too long. A whole family is waiting to move in! Master Liu, if you do this, help me find a few more people. If you finish it in 20 days, I will give you 15 yuan."

"Sure." Master Liu gritted his teeth and nodded.

<divclass="contentadv">"Master Liu, I'll pay you 200 yuan to buy materials first. If it's not enough, you can talk to me later." Jia Weidong went back to the room, took 20 big black tens and handed them to Liu Fusheng, and took out paper and pen. He wrote a receipt.

After Qin Huairu prepared dinner, Jia Wei invited Liu Fusheng to have dinner together. While eating, they discussed some details of the house renovation. They agreed to give Liu Fusheng two days to prepare the materials, and Jia Weidong sent Liu Fusheng out of the hospital.

After sending Liu Fusheng away, Qin Huairu brought hot water to help Jia Weidong wash his feet.

"Weidong, if you add a few hundred yuan, you can buy a small courtyard," Qin Huairu said with some distress.

"Sister-in-law, you can make money after you spend it. Now you can renovate it enough to live in it. If you buy a yard, you will have a chance later. Don't worry! When things get big in the future, I, as an uncle, will find a house for him no matter what."

"Weidong, listen to you! You make the decision."

After soaking my feet, I drank the medicine and went to sleep on the kang to think about my thoughts.

After Bangge fell asleep, he took care of the space. In the early morning, he went to Deshengmen North Small Market and bought some pork and eggs. He changed places and sold a few bags of Bangzi noodles and sweet potatoes. He went home immediately. Selling food was not allowed. Just like selling fish, food is a controlled material, so you can't be too careful.

In the morning, Jia Weidong got up on time, meditated, ran to the park to box, exercise, and ran home.

After having breakfast, I walked to school with Li Dabao, Liu Guangfu, and Yan Jiedi carrying my schoolbags, and then started school. I couldn't be late or leave early.

After school at noon, Jia Weidong rushed to the Beixinqiao Commission Store.

"Comrade, I saw someone selling a set of small boilers a few days ago. Are they still there?" Jia Weidong asked after entering the store.

"Indeed, it was left behind after the Northland experts withdrew. Why, do you want to buy it?" the salesperson said, staring at Jia Weidong with suspicion.

"Yes, can you take me to have a look?" Jia Weidong took out a big black ten from his pocket and waved it in front of the salesperson.

"Yes, of course! Comrade, come with me." The salesman smiled awkwardly and led Jia Weidong into the warehouse.

Jia Weidong carefully inspected the boiler, four radiators, and exhaust pipes. After finding that they were still 90% new and had no problems, he bought them for yuan. He found a shopkeeper at the door of the store and brought them back to the courtyard. I took two steamed buns and ate them while walking back to school.

After school in the afternoon, I still walked home with a few children in the courtyard.

"Mom, take these eggs around the yard and give two eggs to each household."

Jia Weidong carried a basket of eggs and handed them to Jia Zhang, who was about to go out for a walk.

"Sending eggs? To the whole yard?" Jia Zhang asked in confusion.

"Mom! Aren't our houses going to be renovated soon? Once the construction starts, it will have some impact on the lives of the people in the yard. I send you two eggs as a token of appreciation and to say hello to them in advance."

"Mom! Also, borrow some money from the first, second, and third uncles."

"Borrow money, son, if you need money, tell me, I have it!" Jia Zhang said and went back to the room to get the money.

"Mom, I have money. Listen to me. You can borrow it first. When our house is ready, we can return it in a few days."

"Okay, listen to my son!" Mrs. Jia Zhang went from house to house carrying eggs to deliver eggs...

Were there ceramic tiles in the 60s? In 1926, national capitalist Huang Shoumin founded a brick and tile factory in Shanghai. In the same year, Taishan brand ceramic tiles came out. In 1943, Wenzhou Xishan Kiln Factory developed the first glazed tiles.
