Chapter 39 Repairing the House
After a dreamless night, He Yuzhu got up early the next morning and made breakfast for Yu Yu.
Last night I said I was going to make crab roe soup dumplings for Yu Yu, but now it’s too late to prepare. The process of crab roe soup dumplings is cumbersome. You also need to make skin jelly, chicken juice, etc., which is very time-consuming. You can only go to the space kitchen and use the space to speed up the ingredients. processing.
Using the space, He Yuzhu made a lot of crab roe soup dumplings at one time and stored them in the space. He can take them out when he wants to eat them next time.
After waking up Yu Yu, the brother and sister went to the table.
"The buns are very hot. You have to eat them like this with me." He Yuzhu reminded Yu Yu not to burn him. And demonstrate how to eat crab roe soup dumplings.
Yu Yu followed He Yuzhu's lead obediently, took a small mouthful, and slowly took a sip of the soup. The taste is very delicious.
"Brother, these buns are so delicious. I want to eat them tomorrow." Yuyu said.
"Brother will make it for you tomorrow." He Yuzhu said.
After the brother and sister finished eating, He Yuzhu packed some and prepared to send them to his master and his wife.
I came to Master's house early with the rain. The mistress happened to be going out to buy breakfast.
"Zhuzi, why are you so early today? Have you and Yuyu eaten? If not, I will buy more." asked the teacher's wife.
"Master's Wife, Yu Yu and I have eaten. I brought the crab roe soup dumplings I made this morning for you to try." He Yuzhu said and handed the packaged soup dumplings to Master's Wife.
"Master's wife, the buns made by my brother are delicious." Yuyu said at the side.
"Okay, Master, please try how delicious it is." Master pinched Yu Yu's face and said.
The master's wife put the soup dumplings on the table. Master, Fan Yao and Xiaohu also finished washing and sat down on their seats, ready to eat.
"Master Wife, let me tell you, you need to take a small bite of this steamed bun first and drink the soup inside slowly, otherwise you will get burned." Yu Yu was teaching everyone how to eat soup steamed buns.
The master's family also looked at the rain lovingly and echoed.
He Yuzhu waited for them to finish eating before sending Yuyu and Xiaohu to school. When I came back, I said hello to my wife and went home.
After returning home, I looked around the house and realized that it was raining and school had started. We couldn't sleep together anymore and it was time to sleep in separate rooms.
There is no need to make major changes. Just tidy up the current bedroom and buy a desk for rainwater. The study room is connected to the fireplace in the living room. There is no need to make a fire bed, just put a bed and live alone. It is also necessary to open up the kitchen and study room so that there is no need to go around the door in winter. Bathrooms and toilets are a must for travelers. The yard I bought has a simple toilet in the backyard. Have to do it again.
After thinking for a while, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the subdistrict office to look for Wang Dong.
Each street has registered these craftsmen. If you need them, go to the street office and neighborhood committee and they will introduce them.
"Brother Dong, I'm busy." He Yuzhu entered the street office and greeted Wang Dong when he saw him.
"Hey, Zhuzhu, this is your first time coming to my place. What can I do?" Wang Dong said.
He Yuzhu took out his cigarette and dispersed the smoke to everyone around him.
"Isn't it leaking in the house I live in? I want to clean it up. I don't know this person. I want you to introduce someone." He Yuzhu said.
"It's easy to say. There is a bricklayer named Liu not far from your home. Just go to him and say that I asked you to go. I will register you by the way." Wang Dong said.
"Okay, thank you Brother Dong." He Yuzhu got the receipt and stuffed Wang Dong with a box of cigarettes.
He Yuzhu came to Master Liu's house, but was told by Master Liu's wife that Master Liu would not come back until evening.
He Yuzhu had no choice but to go back and said he would visit again in the evening.
In the evening, He Yuzhu took Yuyu back and asked Yuyu to stay at home for a while while he went to Master Liu's house.
Arriving at Master Liu's house, He Yuzhu knocked on the door, and heard the voice of a middle-aged man: "Who is it?"
"Is Master Liu at home?" He Yuzhu asked.
After a while, a middle-aged man opened the door, "I am Master Liu."
"Master Liu, hello, I was introduced here by Wang Dong from the street office." He Yuzhu handed Master Liu a cigarette and said.
"Then come in." Master Liu led He Yuzhu through the door.
Came to the house, sat down, and the woman at noon left when she reached the water.
"Tell me, what kind of job is it?" Master Liu said.
"The house is leaking a bit, and I want to renovate a bathroom and toilet." He Yuzhu said.
"It's easy to tell if the house is leaking. I need to go and check if the bathroom and toilet are to be changed. Let's go to your house and have a look." Master Liu said.
He Yuzhu took Master Liu home.
"You bought Old Doctor Hu's yard." Master Liu said.
"Yes, I happened to catch it and bought it." He Yuzhu said.
"Please show me first and tell me how to change it." Master Liu said.
"Okay," He Yuzhu responded.
He Yuzhu first took Master Liu around and began to introduce his ideas to Master Liu. The kitchen is connected to the main house. The side room here is no longer used as a utility room. The bathroom and toilet are remodeled. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub and tiles are installed on the wall. The toilet is equipped with a squat toilet that flushes. A cesspool is dug in the backyard and tap water is connected. inside the house.
After listening to He Yuzhu's introduction, Master Liu frowned and thought for a while. Said: "You opened up the kitchen and bathroom, do you want to avoid going outside in winter?"
"Yes, it's too cold to walk outside in winter." He Yuzhu said.
"I don't recommend Datong. I'll tell you what I think. Can you listen to me?" Master Liu said.
"You are an expert in this field, you say." He Yuzhu said.
"Let me tell you, if you are not short of money, just seal up the corridor in front of this house, build a low wall in front, and use some good wood to make windows on it, which is just waste glass." Master Liu said.
"It won't affect the lighting, right?" He Yuzhu thought for a while and said.
"Just enlarge the windows in the house." Master Liu said.
"Okay, I'll do as you say," He Yuzhu said.
"Then let's talk about bathrooms and toilets. Sewers were dug in the street outside in the past two years. If you don't prepare for retting, you can go directly to the sewers. The toilet needs to be customized with a tile cylinder. The bathroom also needs to be tiled, and the tiles need to be hired. Burn it. The price is not low." Master Liu said.
"No problem, I have to ask you to prepare the things." He Yuzhu said.
"Okay, but there are many things that need to be customized, so you need to give a deposit first." Master Liu said.
"No problem," He Yuzhu said.
He Yuzhu paid a deposit of 100 yuan, and Master Liu wrote a receipt and took his fingerprints.
"When will you start?" He Yuzhu asked.
"I will order these things for you first. It will take a week to come out. I still have work in hand and it will take two weeks. You know, there is a huge shortage of materials for building houses everywhere in the past two years. You have to go to the street to register first, and then I will It’s easy to buy materials.” Master Liu said.
"Registered." He Yuzhu handed Master Liu a receipt.
"That's good. I bought the materials during my break. Construction will start in two weeks," Master Liu said.
"Okay, please." He Yuzhu said.
"Okay, if I don't have anything else to do, I'll go back first." Master Liu said.
He Yuzhu thought for a while, then remembered that he wanted to build a greenhouse in the backyard, so he said, "I also want to build a greenhouse in the backyard. Can you build it?"
"If you can build it, let's go to the backyard and take a look." Master Liu said.
The two came to the backyard and discussed the location and size of the greenhouse. Master Liu took his leave. Before leaving, He Yuzhu handed Master Liu a 1-pound jar of white wine.
"Master Liu, take this wine back and drink it. Please worry about the house." He Yuzhu said.
"Don't worry, I promise there will be no problem. We all live here. I can't destroy my sign." Master Liu couldn't refuse and accepted the wine and said.
After seeing Master Liu off, He Yuzhu and Yu Yu took a shower and rested.
