Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.
Chapter 3 Repairing the House
As soon as Zhao Yeqing mentioned that he wanted to lay the floor, Feng Lixuan understood it immediately.
"Okay aunt, I'll contact the person right away and ask. Aunt, please wait for me for a while and I'll call you later."
Before Zhao Yeqing could speak, the other party had already hung up the phone. Just as he was wondering why this person's attitude changed so quickly, the call came back within two minutes.
"Auntie, you have to go to the county town to see the floor tiles. There are more floor tiles there. I contacted a mason contractor here to pay 30 yuan per square for paving the tiles. I have to polish it to see the on-site ground conditions. There will be no pitfalls. I am an old acquaintance. "
Hearing that he was an old acquaintance, Zhao Yeqing agreed. Their small place was different from the city. If an acquaintance tricked someone and the whole town knew about it within two days, no one would ask you to do anything again.
"Then it's settled. You have to make it clear to people that it's on Meishan Mountain. Don't be too far away when people don't want to go."
"I've said it, don't worry about me doing the work."
This mouthful is yours. Zhao Yeqing found it funny: "Speak carefully."
"Hehe, I said you must have been wronged when you came back this time. Let me listen to you and make up for all the filial piety I have owed over the years. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
What Feng Lixuan didn't say was that the old lady had repeatedly warned her that although her aunt had grown up in the mountains, her feet had almost never touched the mud, and that he had to help with everything, so it was best to take over everything.
Zhao Yeqing was raised by her grandma since she was a child. She was a girl from another generation. Her grandma almost supported her as she grew up. She was not allowed to walk up and down the mountain by herself until she was eight years old. When she was ten years old, at her strong request, she Take her to patrol the woods.
Zhao Yeqing smiled and replied: "Okay, then I will choose the tiles and tell you. You tell the master that the construction will be done as soon as possible."
-
After arriving at the county town, I selected the tiles and paid for the toll and asked them to deliver the things there this afternoon. When I left the store, I felt like someone was looking at me. I looked around and saw no one. I didn’t think about it anymore and went to the county town station to catch a ride back. Town minibus.
It was almost noon when I returned to town. I sent a message to Feng Lixuan and got on the supermarket delivery truck. When I unloaded the goods at the foot of the mountain, Feng Lixuan also arrived.
He rode a small truck for hauling goods, the kind that you can see often driven by fruit sellers on the streets in the city. However, many of the ones in the city are rechargeable. This kind is refueled and has a lot of horsepower.
Feng Lixuan looked at the things on the ground and said, "No problem, you get in the car first and I'll move it."
When they got up the mountain to the small intersection, they had to rely on manpower. Feng Lixuan put all the small items in the car into the big basin Zhao Yeqing bought and handed them to her.
"This is light, you take this." After saying that, he staggered while carrying the fertilizer and metal tools, almost losing his balance.
Zhao Yeqing took the tool in his hand, carrying the big basin in his left hand and the tool in his right hand, and walked forward to clear the way.
Feng Lixuan was not embarrassed at all: "Awesome, aunt, you are so strong."
Zhao Yeqing didn't say anything. He opened the door and went in to put down his things. He took off his coat and tied it around his waist. He rolled up the long-sleeved sleeves inside and stretched out his thin white arms in front of Feng Lixuan and exerted another force.
The arm that was slender just now suddenly bulged out with muscle.
Feng Lixuan was stunned, "I believe you came back after beating someone this time."
After they finished moving things, Feng Lixuan said: "You have been working for the past two days, and strange men have come here. It is not safe for you as a girl. I will stay here with you during the construction for the past two days. I happen to have a car." The small three-wheeler can just cross your small road. I will drive it over for you so that it can be easier for you to move your things."
Zhao Yeqing responded politely.
Before the delivery person arrived, Feng Lixuan helped weed outside, and Zhao Yeqing cleaned the kitchen stove. Their rural kitchen had two stoves, one with gas and one with wood. The gas had long been out of use, and Zhao Yeqing also She didn’t plan to buy any more. Instead of reselling small appliances such as induction cookers and hot water kettles that she used when working in the city, she packaged them and sent them by express delivery, showing that they could be delivered to town in the evening.
It was almost done and the door and window delivery guys had arrived. Feng Lixuan ran to the intersection to pick them up. After checking the doors and windows to make sure they were OK, he let the workers install them.
The doors and windows were installed quickly, taking less than an hour and a half. Except for the anti-theft door, which needed some adjustments, everything else was fine.
The doors and windows here are almost finished, and the ceramic tiles and wall building materials have also arrived. They can't come up the path, so they can only be unloaded at the intersection.
The driver delivering the materials said it was too late today and the workers would come early tomorrow morning.
Feng Chunyan called right away and said that the meal was ready and she should go home for dinner.
Zhao Yeqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The old lady was afraid that if she didn't come, she wouldn't even give her a chance to refuse.
The materials could only be put away for now. Zhao Yeqing got into Feng Lixuan's car and went home for dinner. After dinner, he went to sleep at home.
Before eight o'clock in the morning, Zhao Yeqing's cell phone rang. It was the mason introduced by Feng Lixuan who said that he had arrived at the foot of the mountain.
It will take some time for Zhao Yeqing to go back now, so he can only ask people to wait.
After getting dressed and going downstairs, Feng Chunyan knew that she was going back now, so she ran to the room and pulled up Feng Lixuan, who was still sleeping, and pushed him out the door to act as the driver.
Zhao Yeqing looked at the face that didn't wake up and didn't know what was going on. He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Since you didn't make an appointment with someone, wake up first. I'll buy some breakfast and bring it to the workers then. go."
After buying meat and vegetable buns and soy milk, Feng Lixuan came over on a tricycle in a depressed mood.
"I asked him to hurry up, but I didn't expect him to be so fast."
Next to the breakfast shop is the post office. Zhao Yeqing took the express delivery to the car and sat in the back compartment.
At the foot of the mountain, Zhao Yeqing took a piece of breakfast and handed it to Feng Lixuan, and then took another piece to the bricklayer. He hurriedly said sorry, but the bricklayer smiled and didn't mind.
On the way up the mountain, this small three-wheeler carried express delivery and also added a grinder for polishing the cement floor and sand for laying ceramic tiles. It was difficult to carry people. The power was not enough, so Feng Lixuan had to drive up first. The masonry workers and Zhao Yeqing were there. Walk behind.
When they arrived, Feng Lixuan had already unloaded the express delivery and transported bricks twice.
The mason checked the tiles and found that there was no release agent and could be applied directly. Zhao Yeqing emptied the room and moved the things to the terrace to facilitate construction.
Not long after, the bricklaying workers arrived. The wall was 45 meters long and 2.5 meters high. The workers said it would only take about five days to build it.
Zhao Yeqing planned to live in the town for the next few days. He would lock the house and come back when it was completed. There was a faucet outside the house for easy washing. There was no problem with the construction. The toilet was also outside.
Construction on the walls and floors began. Feng Lixuan was working outside, and Zhao Yeqing unpacked the courier items and organized them.
The floor on the first floor was polished very quickly. She bought large tiles for the tiles on the second floor. Since the area was small, they were finished in the evening. The plasterer said that she would only need to wait for them to dry completely before doing the fine seams. She suggested that she do the comparison herself. Save money and make life easier.
Zhao Yeqing believed his lies. Two days later, he saw that the floor was completely dry. He bought a caulking agent with a similar color to the floor tiles. He squatted and worked alone for a day. When he stood up with stars in his eyes, he felt that his waist was already wet. It's not yours anymore.
Sure enough, the money that should be spent still has to be spent.
The wall was half built, and the workers said there should be a lot of bricks left. Zhao Yeqing added dozens of dollars and asked them to build a water tank and a chicken coop in the yard. They would not use up any more.
The water at home is not tap water. The water pipe is drawn from spring water on the mountain. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. However, the water flow will occasionally become smaller for a few days in winter. Building a pond will be prepared, and you can raise fish and lotus flowers even if it is not needed.
The fence was completed five days later, and anti-theft thorn cages were installed on the fence. Some materials were left, cement and river sand were put into the tool room, and bricks were piled in the corner. After a few days, a small vegetable garden could be built.
The smell on the second floor was almost gone. She arranged everything, laid out beige bedding, hung up milky white gauze curtains, the floor tiles were wood grain tiles, and a creamy white plush carpet was laid beside the bed. The gauze curtains are blown up, the sun shines in, and cicadas are chirping and birds are chirping outside.
Zhao Yeqing was lying on the bed, feeling that this moment was incredible. He took out his phone and took several photos and sent them to his best friend Kong Sisi.
Kongsi: 'Stop irritating me, baby, I envy you so much. '
Zhao Yeqing: 'I'll wait until you have a holiday before coming over to play. '
Kongssi: 'You haven't watched the news, right? There seems to be some new virus. Many people have been sick recently. Now the city has started to control the risk. Fortunately, you ran fast. '
Zhao Yeqing: 'No...'
She opened the hot search and saw on the headlines that citizens in many places have recently been feeling unwell and experiencing fever symptoms. It is recommended that everyone wear a mask when going out recently, do not gather in crowds, do not panic, and pay attention to protection to prevent the virus from coming back.
