After dinner, Zhang Dahai told his sister that he would go to Li Dayuan to discuss building a house.
Li Dayuan has a construction team of ten people, all from the village. When people from the surrounding villages and towns build houses, they all like to ask him to do it.
When he was young, he once worked on a construction site in a big city. He could draw drawings, design, decorate and provide one-stop service.
And because when people in the village build a house, they measure the square footage of the roof, and then calculate the price per square meter, which is considered a contracting project.
Compared with other construction teams, Li Dayuan's construction team is very diligent and builds houses quickly and well, with extremely high efficiency.
Others took 20 days to build it, but he completed it in 10 days, even working overtime at night.
While building a building, I also decorate it.
Just as Zhang Dahai was passing by the center of the village, he suddenly saw an ambulance roaring past and heading towards the entrance of the village.
Many villagers were talking and talking about something.
Getting closer, Zhang Dahai pulled Uncle Zhang from the same clan, took out a cigarette, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, what happened in the village? Why are so many people coming out to watch?"
The uncle put the homemade pipe under his arm, took the cigarette with a smile, and replied: "It turns out to be the sea. Have you eaten?"
[have eaten! ]
Zhang Dahai ordered it for him.
After taking two puffs, Uncle Zhang said: "Didn't there be a heavy rainstorm two days ago? Many people's houses collapsed. Zhou Kang went to clean up the pig pen tonight. Unexpectedly, the house collapsed and he was hit by the most powerful pole in the center. The thick beam was pressed underneath, and his mouth was full of blood."
"I see, if you want to survive, it's up to you! The doctor just said that the preliminary diagnosis is that the brain may be damaged."
Hearing this, Zhang Dahai grinned.
I thought to myself that Zhou Kang was usually a foul-mouthed person this time, and he was in a den of snakes and rats with the village chief. He was acting tyrannically. He probably did too many immoral things, and even God looked down upon him and punished him.
He asked again: "What about the rest of his family?"
Zhou Kang had three sons and two daughters.
The three sons are all in their thirties and single. The youngest daughter is Zhou Meili, and the other is the eldest daughter Zhou Mei.
[In his house, everyone else is fine, only Zhou Kang was hit. ]
Uncle Ruo looked at Zhang Dahai thoughtfully and understood why he was so happy to see something happen to Zhou Kang.
The village was full of rumors about what happened in the afternoon. Zhou Kang, an elder, went to the Zhang family and scolded Zhang Cuili, a weak girl, to tears.
At that time, some people advised him not to go so far, but Zhou Kang turned his anger on those people, saying that they were meddling in other people's business.
After saying goodbye to his uncle, Zhang Dahai came to Li Hongyuan's home.
Entering the yard, you saw him wielding an ax and chopping firewood. There was also a pile of firewood piled in the corner.
He was in his forties. He had grown tendons from working hard all year round and was very strong. At this moment, he was covered in sweat.
At this time, a woman walked out of the kitchen and greeted him: "Lao Li, it's time to eat, stop working."
At this time, she saw Zhang Dahai standing at the entrance of the courtyard and said, "It's Dahai, why are you standing there stupidly? Come in!"
This woman is Li Hongyuan's wife, her name is Zheng Chunmei.
Li Hongyuan took a few steps over, took Zhang Dahai's arm and walked into the back room, saying, "Come, have a drink with me!"
The couple also heard about the collapse of Zhang Dahai's house. Now they came to see them. It didn't take much guessing to know that they came to build a house.
As soon as he sat down, Li Hongyuan eagerly took out a bottle of Erguotou that he had treasured for a long time, and said with a smile: "This wine costs more than two hundred yuan a bottle. The boss gave it to me last time when I renovated a supermarket in the town. Yes, I have always been reluctant to drink. The sea, my uncle and nephew, we will never get drunk tonight."
Later, Li Hongyuan talked about the time when Mr. Zhang treated his broken leg.
It turns out that many years ago, when he first started working in construction, he broke his calf.
At that time, the family was extremely poor, and treatment in the hospital would have cost as little as 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and as much as 80,000 to 90,000 yuan. But Mr. Zhang took action and set his bones for only 300 yuan.
Therefore, during the holidays these years, he would buy big pig's trotters and noodles as gifts for the old man.
After three rounds of drinking.
Li Hongyuan sighed: "Destiny is unfair. Mr. Zhang is such a good person and has done so many good things for the village. He should live a long life. But when he died, he was only seventy years old. Isn't this God jealous of him? ?”
Hearing this, Zhang Dahai was moved in his heart, remembering the past and every bit of his grandfather.
[Oh, I’m telling you, you’ve become confused after two drinks. Why are you talking about these sad things when you have nothing to do? ]
Zheng Chunmei scolded her husband, then looked at Zhang Dahai and said, "Dahai, are you coming tonight to talk to Hongyuan about building a house?"
Zhang Dahai stroked his forehead and almost forgot the business of coming here. It was really a waste of time to drink!
Nodding, he said: "Yes, Uncle Hongyuan, Aunt Chunmei, you know that my house collapsed. I came to you this time because I want to build a house."
Li Hongyuan took a sip of wine and held his chin in thought.
After a while, he said: "Dahai, building a house is no small matter. I know you have paid back a lot of villagers these days, so you must be stretched thin. In this way, I will give you the money to build the house, which is a way of repaying the money you spent in those days." The old man’s saving grace.”
Hearing this, Zhang Dahai was extremely moved.
This Li Hongyuan is really a good person. After so many years, he still keeps this kindness in his heart.
However, how could he want the other party's money!
Zheng Chunmei echoed: "Dahai, the money for building a first floor is at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. My family can still come up with it with gritted teeth. I hope you can forgive us for not helping you and Cuili these years. In fact, this money , Hongyuan also collected it not long ago, and the heads of households have been in arrears."
Zhang Dahai shook his head and replied: "Uncle Hongyuan, how could I ask you to pay? I can afford it."
After that, he took out a stack of money as thick as a brick from the package he had brought and put it on the table.
"What a coincidence, why are there so many!"
The two were startled.
After looking at it, Li Hongyuan said: "This money must be 100,000 yuan!"
[Yes, Uncle Hongyuan, there is one hundred thousand yuan here, which is a deposit. ]
"Silly boy, it doesn't cost that much to build a floor!"
[No, no, I am not building one floor, but three and a half floors. This 100,000 yuan is the deposit. I will give you the subsequent money when the time comes. You know, I don’t know much about construction, so I’m just asking you to order materials for me. ]
Professional people do professional things.
Zhang Dahai didn't understand this, so he let Li Hongyuan do it for him.
Generally speaking, when building a house and purchasing materials, it is up to the head of the household to negotiate, to prevent the agent from taking advantage of the situation.
Li Hongyuan was a little moved by being trusted. He patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Dahai. If you trust me so much, I will do a great job. I know the bosses of the cement factory, brick factory, and steel bar factory very well. I will go there in person." If I ask, they will give me some discounts, which can save me thousands of dollars.”
"By the way, what kind of house type do you plan to build and what are your requirements?"
After he asked this question, Zhang Dahai lost his mind. He didn't quite understand this.
Li Hongyuan immediately took out a photo album, which contained pictures of buildings, all of which were finished apartments collected online.
In the next two hours, the two parties began to discuss in detail how to design, how many halls and rooms, the orientation of the door and windows, and many other issues.
Eventually, a consensus was reached.
Li Hongyuan also printed out the design pattern and estimated how much it would cost.
