I Want To Be a Good Person in This Life

After Zhuo Shao took the money, he called to order yellow sand cement bricks, and then contacted several workers, ready to start work.

To decorate the family, he plans to find all the workers locally.

In fact, the craftsmanship of the workers in Fuyang County is not necessarily inferior to those in the provincial capital. In terms of water and electricity, all experienced workers can do a good job, especially if they have design drawings.

Of course, if you don't have blueprints, let a plumber do it for you... just pray that the plumber you're looking for is experienced.

The same is true for carpentry. It is no problem to make a cabinet with no shape according to the design drawing, even if you let a worker who has not been in this industry for a long time do it.People in Fuyang County feel that the local carpentry is not doing well, mainly because many people don’t find a designer at all for home decoration, and even have no idea what furniture they want, and finally listen to the carpenter’s foolishness...

Zhuo Shao once saw a carpenter who, in order to make more money, insisted on helping the company that asked him to work make a big wine cabinet in the living room...

That family is ordinary people, and they don't taste wine at all, so that's fine. His wine cabinet is so narrow that it can't hold anything at all.

The cabinet, which cost hundreds of dollars to make, can only be used to accumulate dust.

It's all like this, but the people in Fuyang County still like to find woodworkers for everything.

Beds, bedside tables, sideboards, shoe cabinets... They are all made by carpenters, so the furniture in every household is the same.

For this decoration, Zhuo Shao planned not to hire carpenters except for the wardrobes up to the top, and he even planned to ask a furniture factory to order special ones for the cabinet doors.

In this case, the requirements for carpentry are not too high, and the carpenter who made the computer desk that he instructed before is fully qualified.

To be honest, that person's craftsmanship is very fine, in fact, it is not worse than the original master of their decoration company, but the aesthetics are more old-fashioned.

Of course, it is too far away to think about these now.

The first thing Zhuo Shao has to do is to renovate the house type.

For the sake of safety, many walls cannot be moved, but some can be slightly changed, for example, the position of the bathroom door needs to be knocked and re-planned...

Zhuo Shao didn't dare to let others do this job, fearing that others would knock the house down, so he simply did it himself.

That afternoon, after Zhuo Shao asked the two children to do their homework obediently at home, he went upstairs with a big hammer.

The walls of the house were made of brick, and he could knock them all.

From time to time, there was a sound of thud, thud, thud, and Zhuo Ting, who had finished her homework, finally couldn't sit still, and looked at Liang Chen who was obviously absent-minded not far away: "Brother Liang Chen, what is my brother doing?"

"I don't know, let's go and have a look?" Liang Chen immediately looked at Zhuo Ting, he had long wanted to go up and have a look!

Zhuo Ting nodded, and the two hit it off.

When Liang Chen went upstairs, he found that the family's door was open. He pushed the door and went in...

It was the first time Liang Chen saw such a dirty and dusty Zhuo Shao.

"Why are you here? There's a lot of dust here, get down quickly." Zhuo Shao said hastily when he saw Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting.

A dusty construction site is not the place for children.

"Zhuo Shao..." Liang Chen felt sore in his heart.

He knew that everything Zhuo Shao did was to make money.

Zhuo Shao should obviously be wearing a white shirt, sitting in the classroom reading every day, and sitting in the office in the future... But now, he actually has to do hard work...

"Come down quickly, I'll be down soon, and I'll cook something delicious for you then." Zhuo Shao coaxed.

Liang Chen nodded subconsciously, and after meeting Zhuo Shao's gaze, he felt something was wrong again.

Why does Zhuo Shao seem to coax him like a child?

Liang Chen felt a little depressed, and then saw Zhuo Shao knocking down a few bricks with a hammer... This action looks really handsome!

Liang Chen's face was hot, he took a deep breath, and dragged Zhuo Ting downstairs.

Zhuo Shao was very busy recently, so Liang Chen thought about helping him a little... Let Zhuo Ting watch TV, Liang Chen took out the vegetables in the refrigerator, washed them, and cooked them in the rice cooker.

He has never used a spatula and doesn't know how to cook, but he often sees Zhuo Shao cooking with a rice cooker, and he thinks he should be able to do it too.

It didn't take much effort to knock on the wall, and it took Zhuo Shao two hours to finish all of them.

But this is undoubtedly a very tiring job, especially for a junior high school student like him.

When Zhuo Shao went downstairs, he felt that he couldn't lift his hands, and his whole arm was numb.

When he arrived at the door of Liang Chen's house, he specially dressed himself outside, and took off his dusty old clothes and trousers before Zhuo Shao entered the door, and was a little surprised to find that Liang Chen had already used the rice cooker to cook.

"I cooked and steamed a bowl of eggs!" Liang Chen asked Zhuo Shao for credit.He doesn't know how to make any tricks. Steamed eggs are just cracked eggs on a plate and steamed without adding anything. But if you pour some light soy sauce into it, it can also be used as a dish.

"It's so smart." Zhuo Shao smiled at Liang Chen, feeling like "my family has a baby who is just growing up".

Well, this child has grown up and is an adult.

Liang Chen's eyes lit up after being praised, and he looked at Zhuo Shao excitedly.

He looked very cute, Zhuo Shao wanted to reach out and touch his long hair, but he soon noticed that his hands were full of dust...

After taking a bath, Zhuo Shao felt a little better.

Although both hands are still very painful, but it does not affect the work.Zhuo Shao went into the kitchen, cooked a cauliflower, and made a simple vegetable soup, then took out the braised pork that was made at noon and warmed it up.

Mao Maocai is a local collective name for all vegetables that have just grown for a few days after sowing.Whether it's green vegetables or radishes, when they were young, they were all called Mao Maocai.

And the Mao Maocai that Zhuo Shao used to make soup today is actually the young Chinese cabbage seedlings, which are quite delicious when made into soup.

Braised pork, cauliflower, Mao Mao vegetable soup, and steamed eggs, dinner can be called very rich, and Zhuo Shao, who had been working all afternoon, even ate two bowls of rice in one sitting.

After eating, Zhuo Shao asked the two children to go to bed early, but he went upstairs again with a few snakeskin bags.

After the bricks are knocked out, they must be installed and then thrown away.

At this time, Zhuo Shao inevitably missed the elevator room.

There is an elevator room, he can directly use the elevator to remove the construction waste, now...

Zhuo Shao picked up the bricks with his hands and put them into the snakeskin bag, intending to take them out and put them at the door, and then pay the guard to find someone to take them away tomorrow morning.

Many people in this community have already renovated houses, and those decoration workers have more or less contacted with the doorman. No matter what kind of workers they are looking for, they can be found at the doorman.

Zhuo Shao packed a snakeskin bag of bricks, dragged it a bit and found that he couldn't move it, and was a little embarrassed when he saw Liang Chen coming again.

Liang Chen, who was wearing old clothes, smiled at him, and immediately ran over to help him drag the snakeskin bag.

Zhuo Shao wanted him to leave, but Liang Chen had already started working, he wanted to say thank you, but felt that it was a bit redundant.

Liang Chen probably wouldn't want to hear it either.

It took Zhuo Shao two hours to knock on the wall before, and it took two hours to clean it now.

This job is not like knocking on a wall, it not only requires great strength but also bears the reaction force, and with Liang Chen's help, Zhuo Shao was not tired, but when he finished, his arms were obviously more sore, Although the hands are not broken because of wearing gloves, they are also a bit overused.

After taking a bath at night, Zhuo Shao painted his arms with safflower oil and rubbed them for a long time.

He fell asleep in the strong smell of safflower oil, and it turned out like this. On the second day, he still found his hands were swollen.

He overestimated his physical condition.

The next day Zhuo Shao didn't cook breakfast, he didn't even prepare lunch, he took Liang Chen and Zhuo Ting to the breakfast shop to eat buns and soy milk, then sent Zhuo Ting to school first, and then Liang Chen to school.

As for why he said he sent Liang Chen to school... After Zhuo Shao arrived at school, he didn't stay to attend class, but went to ask the teacher for a day off.

"Mr. Yang, I found a job to do on the weekend, but my hand was injured. I want to ask for a day off." Zhuo Shao said to Yang Jianhua.

"Zhuo Shao, you are still young, don't always think about working, it is more important to study..." Yang Jianhua frowned when he saw Zhuo Shao's swollen hands.

"Mr. Yang, don't worry, I won't do this kind of heavy work again, but I still need to find something to do, or else I have a younger sister in high school and college," Zhuo Shao said.

Yang Jianhua wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Zhuo Shao's determined face, he couldn't say some words.

"Teacher Yang, I will study hard." Zhuo Shao promised again.

Zhuo Shao decided to tell Yang Jianhua this after thinking about it.

It would be much more convenient for him to say hello to Yang Jianhua in advance, and it would be much more convenient if he needed to ask for leave in the future.

He is very efficient in self-study, but it is not necessarily necessary to attend classes in school.

If it were other students, Yang Jianhua would definitely let them study hard, but Zhuo Shao... If there is only one person, save a little, and apply for some poverty subsidies, he can always finish college, but he still has a younger sister...

"Go back and have a good rest." Yang Jianhua finally said.

"Thank you Teacher Yang." Zhuo Shao smiled at Yang Jianhua and left the school.

Liang Chen didn't come to class when Zhuo Shao didn't come, so he knew that Zhuo Shao had asked for leave, and he was very disappointed for a while. He was unhappy like a defeated rooster throughout the morning.

It wasn't until after school at noon that Liang Chen regained his energy.

He is going to pick up Zhuo Ting, and then take Zhuo Ting home for dinner!

Liang Chen got up from his seat, intending to walk out, but he was stopped by someone after only a few steps.

The one who stopped him was the student from their class who blocked him with Fang Jiajia that time.

"Liang Chen, why didn't Zhuo Shao come to school today?" The man asked with a smile, looking at Liang Chen with a bit of malice.

This person's name is Duan Kelin, and he and Liang Chen have been classmates since the first grade of elementary school.

He no longer knew when he began to hate Liang Chen, he only knew that this hatred had become more and more intense as time went by.

He hated Liang Chen very much, in his opinion, Liang Chen was simply disgusting.

When Liang Chen was rejected by his classmates, he was very happy, but when Liang Chen got Zhuo Shao's friendship and began to change, and even got No.2 in the exam, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Liang Chen, why did he do better than him in the exam?

He saw that Liang Chen was getting more and more distasteful, so Fang Jiajia yelled, and went to help beat him up.

After being beaten by Zhuo Shao, he didn't dare to provoke Liang Chen again, but today seeing that Zhuo Shao was not by Liang Chen's side, he couldn't help jumping out again.

"Does it mean that Zhuo Shao doesn't want you anymore? I just said that you are so disgusting, no one would want to stay with you..." Duan Kelin looked at Liang Chen maliciously.

In the past, at this time, Liang Chen would have been timid and afraid to speak, but now... Liang Chen is still in a hurry to pick up Zhuo Ting!

Liang Chen ignored Duan Kelin, wanting to bypass him and go outside.

"Want to leave? Liang Chen, you..." Duan Kelin reached out to grab Liang Chen, but at this moment, Zhuo Shao's voice sounded: "Liang Chen!"

Liang Chen, who was a little scared at first, raised his head, and saw Zhuo Shao who was standing against the light at the door of the classroom at a glance, and the fear in his heart disappeared without a trace.

"Duan Kelin, do you want to fight?" Zhuo Shao glanced at Liang Chen, then at Duan Kelin, his eyes were very cold.

Duan Kelin trembled subconsciously, turned around and ran away without thinking, and he breathed a sigh of relief after running away from Zhuo Shao's sight.

Zhuo Shao looked so scary, why? !And... Zhuo Shao's body seems to be full of the smell of safflower oil?

That Zhuo Shao, didn't he go to fight with someone again?

With a shock, Duan Kelin made up his mind that he must hide from Zhuo Shao in the future, and he could not provoke Zhuo Shao again.

But at this time, Liang Chen looked at Zhuo Shao in surprise: "Zhuo Shao, what's wrong with you?"

"Come and deliver the food." Zhuo Shao said.

After Zhuo Shao asked for leave today and went back, he first asked someone to clean up those bricks, and then went to buy vegetables and cook.

He first delivered food to Zhuo Ting, and now he came to deliver food to Liang Chen.

"Eat quickly." Zhuo Shao gave Liang Chen the lunch box in his hand.

Braised chicken in brown sauce, fried carrot slices, fried vegetables, and boiled seaweed... Liang Chen happily ate all the food.

"Go to class well, and I'll pick you up after school." Zhuo Shao waited for him to finish eating, put away his lunch box, and prepared to go back.

"No, no, I can go back by myself and pick up Zhuo Ting." Liang Chen said quickly.

"What if Duan Kelin and the others come to trouble you?" Zhuo Shao asked back.

Zhuo Shao knew that Duan Kelin and the others didn't dare to do anything to Liang Chen, but he couldn't just let Liang Chen not be seriously injured.

Liang Chen couldn't help laughing, looking a little silly.

In the afternoon, the cement, yellow sand and bricks that Zhuo Shao asked for were delivered, and he received them after inspection, and asked someone to move them up.

After he finished all this, it was time to pick up Zhuo Ting... Fortunately, he had already prepared the evening dishes at noon, otherwise, they might not be able to eat for a while after picking up the people home meal.

The next day, Zhuo Shao's hands were much better, so he went to school, and waited to go home that night...

Zhuo Shao rolled up his sleeves and became a mason.

After Zhuo Shao joined Liang Xin's decoration company, he wanted to learn some crafts, and the first craft he learned was masonry.

There is no technical content in building walls. Zhuo Shao has done a good job in the past, but now he does it by himself.

There is still plenty of room to build walls.

The water pipes in the bathroom should be wrapped with bricks, and you can also design well here-it is a good choice to leave a recessed wall hole when laying the wall, which can be used to store toiletries in the future.

The room dedicated to children as a playroom is very long, and there is no need for cabinets inside. Zhuo Shao planned to build a low wall with a height of more than half a meter and a slightly wider width in the middle, and then spread wooden boards on it.

In the future, people can sit here, and children can walk with their arms. He will make a platform on the south side of this low wall, so that the room can be divided into two areas.

Of course, another reason for him to do this is to ensure that the design is beautiful, beautiful and novel.

Zhuo Shao was working in full swing, and Liang Chen came again as he was working hard.

Liang Chen was still wearing old clothes, and he helped him move the bricks to Zhuo Shao's feet back and forth, like a hardworking bee.

In the end, all the bricks were moved, and he didn't leave. Instead, he read a book by the dim light in the room, and he read the "Must Read for Teenagers" that Zhuo Shao bought for him.

"What book are you reading here? Don't damage your eyes." Zhuo Shao couldn't help but said.

Liang Chen closed the book, sat there for a while, and suddenly ran downstairs.

Zhuo Shao thought he was going back to sleep, but he didn't expect Liang Chen to come back after a while, holding a battery lamp in his hand.

These years, the Three Gorges Hydropower Station has not yet been built. In the south where there is a lack of coal, power shortages often occur, and power outages are even more uncommon, so someone invented the battery light.

A rechargeable battery with a very bright light bulb is a battery light.

After the battery is fully charged, the light bulb can stay on for several hours. If there is a power outage at home, it basically depends on this for lighting.

However, Zhuo Shao didn't know that Liang Chen's family also had this.

"You should have brought it earlier." Zhuo Shao said with emotion when he saw that his working environment suddenly became very bright.

There was a light bulb installed by the developer in this house, but it was intended for the owner to remove, so it didn't light up at all.

"I forgot..." Liang Chen looked at Zhuo Shao uneasily.

"I don't blame you." Zhuo Shao said with a smile: "It's too late for me to thank you."

Liang Chen's face suddenly showed a smile again.

Liang Chen insisted on staying with Zhuo Shao, so Zhuo Shao couldn't work until late, and had to finish work at ten o'clock in the evening. In the end, he worked for a total of three nights building the walls and painting the walls he built himself.

The mason's work was all done, and after a few more days of drying, the plumber came in.

The electrician Zhuo Shao found worked in a cement factory in Fuyang County.

This electrician is in his 30s, has read books and can read drawings, and works well. The only shortcoming is that he has to work in the factory during the day and can only come to work at night.

This is not suitable for others, but it is perfect for Zhuo Shao - he has to go to school during the day and is free at night!

What satisfied Zhuo Shao even more was that this person introduced him to a plumber who worked in a waterworks.

At that time, many plumbers worked in factories and did some private work outside. However, when they earned more in decoration than their own wages in the company, they would go to sea one after another.

Zhuo Shao was too busy to touch the ground.

He puts all his studies in school now, and when he returns home, except for cooking for his two children, he spends almost all of his time in that house.

Because time is tight, when Zhuo Shao cooks, he can only choose simple ones, but even so, he still cares about nutrition.

For example, today, what he cooks are meat, vegetarian, soy products, eggs, everything... hot pot.

Zhuo Shao bought a hot pot and came back, cut half a chicken into it to make the soup base, asked Zhuo Ting and Liang Chen to put the quail eggs and vegetables he bought into the pot after it boiled, and cook it. I went upstairs to work again.

He didn't have time to accompany the two children to eat hot pot slowly, so he told them to leave him some leftovers, and heat them up when he went back.

There is no natural gas in Fuyang County yet. The water heater Zhuo Shao finally ordered an electric water heater. Not only are they installed in all the bathrooms, but also in the kitchen. The electrician has never been in touch with this area and is not very good at it. Zhuo Shao followed Do.

He is also a trained electrician...

The two were doing it when someone came in from outside the door.

The one who came was the husband of the young couple. His surname was Zhou and his name was Zhou Zhengqiang. He had called Zhuo Shao several times before, but today was the first time he came here after Zhuo Shao started the renovation.

"Mr. Zhou, you're here!" Zhuo Shao saw him, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

He used to be the boss of a decoration company, and he was still very enthusiastic about customers. Now that he has only a shell subsidiary, he is even more enthusiastic about Zhou Zhengqiang.

Zhou Zhengqiang’s family only started to get rich in the past ten years. In fact, his life was no different from those of his peers, because education was generally not valued at that time. He went to his father’s factory after graduating from junior high school. work here.

At that time, all the people in the factory were his elders, so they just called him Xiao Zhou, but now some people call him Little Boss, but no one has ever called him Mr. Zhou...

His dad has never been called that!

Zhou Zhengqiang only felt that Zhuo Shao was very comfortable.

"Has the house started to be renovated?" Zhou Zhengqiang asked, and then he was stunned as soon as he entered the room.

His house has been renovated, and the speed is very slow, but now...

In just over a week, the layout of the house has been changed, and the water and electricity are almost done!

This speed is really good!The electrician is still working at night, and he is really dedicated!

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, the progress of our company's renovation can be guaranteed. In order to make the project progress faster, we specially recruited some local master craftsmen to do it." Zhuo Shao said with a smile, thinking that he had no provincial workers at all. The things that are said are high-sounding.

Zhou Zhengqiang felt that this was fine, as it was indeed a little troublesome for workers from the provincial capital to come all the way to do it from home.

It's just... why are those water pipes and wires placed on the roof?

"Many decoration companies or workers will put water pipes and wires on the ground in order to save costs, but this is actually inconvenient for maintenance. If they all pass from the top, it will be easier to repair if something goes wrong. Of course, the water pipes I use are all high-grade. The standard hot water pipes and wires are much thicker than the standard ones, which guarantees that there will be no problems in 20 years." Zhuo Shao said.

Zhuo Shao used really good things. When Zhou Zhengqiang left, he picked up a piece of water pipe and a piece of wire that had been cut off, and took them away. When he came back later, he was even more satisfied with Zhuo Shao.

Although it cost a lot of money, Zhou Zhengqiang was very happy that Zhuo Shao didn't fool himself.

Zhuo Shao hoped that Zhou Zhengqiang's house could be renovated quickly, and he could get the money only after the house was renovated.

But he didn't miss the things that should be done... At this time, people don't pay much attention to things like waterproofing the bathroom, and he did everything.

Zhou Zhengqiang didn’t know that the bathroom needs to be waterproofed before. When he came to see it, he was puzzled to find that the bathroom was full of water. But after hearing Zhuo Shao’s explanation...he was shocked by the exquisiteness of the provincial capital decoration company. .

The decoration company in the provincial capital is amazing!

It is estimated that his house can be renovated into the first part of their county in the end!

Zhou Zhengqiang is full of expectations for his new home.

Zhuo Shao smiled, and tried his best to fool Zhou Zhengqiang, not letting his benefactor know that the so-called decoration company did not exist at all.
