Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

After returning to the Educated Youth Institute, Lu Nanchi took Zhang Tong to discuss building a house together.

Zhang Tong counted the money in his hand.

The few hundred yuan my parents left for me before they were sent to the countryside have not been spent much during the six months since I came to the countryside.

After thinking about it, Zhang Tong also decided to move out with Lu Nanchi, not knowing how long he would stay here.

I don’t know how many more educated youths will come in the future. Living by yourself will save you a lot of trouble.

So the two of them came to Yu's house early the next morning. Lu Nanchi, who was afraid that he couldn't handle it well, even called his third brother to come with him.

Father Yu didn't waste any time. After discussing with the three of them, he went to the brigade to organize a meeting.

The land was approved without any surprise.

Near the Educated Youth Compound, the two of them were granted a land with a yard of more than 100 square meters in total.

Yu Jiang originally wanted to avoid Lu Beiyuan first, firstly to let her digest yesterday's news, and secondly, she could not adapt to Lu Beiyuan's strange attitude yesterday.

Unexpectedly, just after he and He Zhile returned from picking up wild goods in Yushan in the morning, they met Lu Beiyuan, who had accompanied his younger brother to the house.

Fortunately, they didn't stay long and the two didn't communicate directly.

but! Lu Nanchi is holding a broken child!

Come to her house and draw a sketch of the structure of the house. He brought his brother again!

Although the two have not communicated with each other, they have been rivals for more than ten years. It makes your eyes hurt just to watch!

The five people discussed how the house should be built at Yu's house.

After a heated discussion, everyone was actively imagining various layouts of the house. Especially for He Zhile, it seems that this house does not belong to Zhang Tong and Lu Nanchi, but to He Zhile himself.

In the end, everyone in the Yu family was brought into the discussion group. After countless pages of draft paper, the layout of the house was finally revealed.

First of all, this has to be a small brick house.

Their respective houses are separated. The two rooms on the left and right facing west and east serve as their bedrooms. There are doors and windows on the north and south sides respectively. The doors of the two are facing each other, and the windows face the yard.

The room has a 1.5-meter bed, a wardrobe, a locker, and a desk and chair next to the bed.

A separate small door is opened on the west side of the house, leading to the utility room in the house. There is no other entrance or exit in the utility room, and only a small window is opened on the side of the yard for ventilation and lighting.

There is a corridor extending from the door to the dining room and kitchen. The dining room faces the door, and connected to it is the stove.

There is a dining table and a few chairs in the dining room, and the remaining open space can be used to stack firewood and hang some cured bacon.

Next to the stove is the small door into the backyard. There is a special table for cooking, but you need to go outside to make a fire.

The two rooms outside are the bathroom and toilet.

It rains a lot in the south. In order to prevent rain, eaves were built from the kitchen to the dining room and outside the bathhouse and toilet to the stove and fire area, and they were paved with stones and bricks.

Finally, a well was dug in the yard outside the stove.

Both sides are initially planned as vegetable plots for two people.

Building a house is easy. Now that the autumn harvest has passed, the work is no longer so heavy. Let the young adults in the village do it, and it can be completed in about ten days. Because regardless of lunch, people need to be paid 3 cents per day for work.

Father Yu asked several people about the estimated number of bricks to build a house, and said that it would cost about 3000 bricks. He would go to the website to apply for it tomorrow and he would be able to get it back in the afternoon.

He also said that the corridor does not necessarily need bricks. It would also work just as well to pick up a few baskets of stones by the river.

Grandpa Yu also suggested to them that the furniture could be made by Old Man Li in the village. The things he made were of excellent craftsmanship and were famous in every village in the ten miles.

Although I may not be able to make all the furniture in half a month, I can still make the basic large pieces.

After the group agreed on the general content, Father Yu took Lu Beiyuan and Zhang Tong to the village to find someone to repair the house, while Grandpa Yu took the other three people to Old Man Li's house to discuss making furniture.

Lu Beiyuan, who hadn't been able to say a word to Yu Jiang all day, said that his younger brothers were indeed here to collect debts!

With this in mind, when Father Yu and Zhang Tong visited another home, he deliberately took a step back, clicked on his bracelet, and sent a message to Yu Jiang.

Yu Jiang on the other side felt his hand move slightly. He avoided a few people and clicked on his bracelet before seeing a message from Lu Beiyuan: "See you tonight?"

Thinking of the time and space exchange machine that Lu Beiyuan talked about yesterday, the thought of rejection was suppressed.

"it is good."

(There is a schematic diagram of the house in the chapter comments. Those who cannot read the text can refer to it.)
