Qi Sheng acted very quickly. Since he decided to rebuild a new house, he went out in the afternoon to find the construction team from his hometown.
The leader of the construction team is also from the same village as them. He is from the same family, and his surname is Qi. Because he is the eldest in the family, his peers who are younger than him are used to calling him Brother Jun.
"Brother Jun, have you had lunch yet?"
"Yo, Xiao Sheng, I just finished eating, have you eaten yet? I didn't eat my brother's order for you? Let's drink some more?"
Qi Sheng shook his head and smiled: "I just finished eating at home, so don't bother me."
Seeing Qi Dajun sitting in the main room blowing a fan, he also sat aside and asked, "Brother Jun, your engineering team hasn't been out during this time?"
Qi Dajun was a little frustrated when he heard about the engineering team, and looked at Qi Sheng and sighed: "Hey, don't mention it, there was an important person in a real estate around August 20th, didn't the temperature rise instead of drop and cause trouble?" ? On such a hot day, the person in charge of the real estate pushed back the time, and I didn’t talk about it for a while, everyone is resting at home now.”
After speaking, Qi Dajun sighed again looking at the scorching hot weather outside, probably a little anxious because he has been resting at home and hasn't made any money.
This is exactly what Qi Sheng wanted. At first he was worried that he could not find a good quality engineering team temporarily. Fortunately, the old man remembered Qi Dajun and asked him to try his luck. Qi Dajun's engineering team stayed at home, and most of the team members were from his village or nearby villages, so it was convenient to come to work at his home.
So Qi Sheng told Qi Dajun his intention.
"Pull it up and rebuild it? It will cost a lot of money. The foundation of your house was laid firmly back then, and the bricks were all good bricks. Isn't it a pity to take it all down? You don't live here now."
"It's not a pity. The old house is more than twenty years old. I had this plan some time ago. I was busy with work and didn't take care of it. I just took time to fix it when I have time recently."
"If it's rebuilt, what do you plan to make? Do you want to build a bungalow or a small building? Did you see the new house of Qi Erye's next door when you came? That was also repaired by my brother's people. The quality is no worse than that of small villas in the city!"
When it comes to the quality of the engineering team, Qi Dajun has a confident face. He went into the bedroom and found a pile of drawings, put them on the coffee table and pressed them with an ashtray, and frowned at the whirring fan.
"It's bad weather, it's too hot outside and it's stuffy inside, the air conditioner and fan don't work together!"
Qi Sheng followed with a few words of agreement, glanced at the blueprints, and then put forward some important requirements: "It's fine to have a small building, because it's annoying to live outside, and it's better to make a one-story house at home, which is more down-to-earth."
Qi Dajun smiled and didn't comment, Qi Sheng said again: "Brother Jun, please help me with the design for this new construction. I plan to dig a little deeper for the previous foundation and double the thickness of the walls. The walls are all built higher."
Qi Dajun was a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't understand why Qi Sheng made such a request.
"The foundation of your house is already quite good, why do you want it to be deeper? Besides, why do you want such a thick wall? Do you know how many bricks you need to eat? There is no need for us to make it so thick for our own living."
Qi Sheng explained: "I didn't think about fixing the house once and for all, so that I can come back to provide for the elderly when I retire." After a pause, Qi Sheng went on to say: "I actually also considered the current weather and southern The earthquake over there, you see, in the past few years, there have been frequent earthquakes in the south, I am not worried, and now the foundation is drilled deeper, just in case."
Qi Dajun laughed directly when he heard his explanation: "I think you just have money and no place to spend it. Can the south be the same as ours? We are all plains. We haven't heard of earthquakes for many years. What about the other side?" Nothing can affect us."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Qi Sheng and smiled: "Is it because those brick houses in the city are fooling around again? Don't believe all those words. Didn't you say before that the environmental pollution is all due to our earthen stoves in the countryside, which made us This also started to advocate the use of gas for cooking, hey, the dishes fried on this small pot are simply incomparable to those fried on the stove!"
Qi Sheng also laughed when he heard the words: "Don't worry if you repair it firmly. Besides, if the wall is thick, it will be warm in winter and cool in summer. It will be much better when you encounter this kind of weather in the future."
"What you're saying is true. If this day continues to be so weird, I have to thicken the wall."
Hearing what he said, Qi Sheng didn't say much. This weird weather will continue until late October, and every day will be like a scorching heat, and in November, the temperature will plummet again, with thirty-four degrees The weather dropped directly below ten degrees. If it didn't happen, few people would believe it.
It is also this increasingly weird weather and more and more frequent natural disasters that make the residents of the entire global village think that the end of the world is coming.
The city they are in is indeed as Qi Dajun said, with relatively few natural disasters, but weird weather and occasional earthquakes and sandstorms also occur from time to time, not to mention completely irregular rainstorms and hailstorms.
Qi Sheng is preparing in advance. After a while, more and more people will react to this weird phenomenon. Fortunately, nature does not seem to intend to block people's way of life with a stick, so even without Qi Sheng's reminder, the initial stage is still Will not cause too many casualties. Of course, the frequent earthquakes in the south and the typhoons faced by coastal cities are indeed troublesome.
Qi Sheng clarified some necessary details. He had already printed out the details and requirements that he thought of last night. After briefly introducing it to Qi Dajun, he handed over the prepared 4A paper.
After Qi Dajun memorized Qi Sheng's request, he took a general look at the detailed request he had prepared. Seeing Qi Sheng's request for the cellar, he was a little strange: "Why do we need a cellar? Aren't we all used to using refrigerators now?" Yet?"
"The refrigerator is too small to hold many things. It is convenient to build a cellar to store things in the future."
"Okay, I probably know. The construction plan will be sent to you in two days. You can rest assured about this cellar. Several of my masters have experience in this field. It is absolutely trivial to use the cellar they built for decades. .”
There are still many families in their area who keep their cellars, and there are quite a lot of master craftsmen here, so Qi Sheng is naturally at ease.
The two went through all the details again, Qi Dajun looked at Qi Sheng and said, "Xiao Sheng, you have an amount in advance for the repair of the house. If you change these requirements into normal specifications, you can build a small villa." gone."
"I know this, Brother Jun, don't worry, I will pay the money on time after the house is completed. I will transfer the deposit and material fees to you first, and I have to trouble you to help me keep an eye on it. The quality of various materials must be guaranteed. Use it."
"Hahaha, don't worry about this. I know what materials to use to build a house for my family. Third uncle also knows a lot about these. I'll let him have a look after buying it."
The third uncle that Qi Dajun was talking about was Qi Sheng's father, Mr. Qi. Most of the people in the village were people with the surname Qi, and many of them hadn't produced the fifth uniform yet. Qi Sheng wasn't worried that Qi Dajun would tamper with the materials. After discussing the matter of building a house, it was late in the evening. Originally, Qi Dajun wanted to have another drink with him, but Qi Sheng refused on the grounds that it was rare for him to come back once.
After Qi Sheng left, Qi Dajun's wife, Wang Ling, just came back from a visit to a neighbor's house. Hearing from her husband that Qi Sheng was going to build a new house, she couldn't help but laugh.
"If this house is built, Leilei will not have to worry about having no place to live in the future. You have to keep an eye on the house."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on in my heart. To build a house for Leilei, of course we have to be careful, otherwise our brat will definitely make trouble with me!"
Even though Qi Lei is like a grass in Qi Sheng's place, he is not only the treasure of his grandparents in his hometown, but also the favorite good boy of his neighbors.
Moreover, Qi Dajun's youngest son has been with Qi Lei since he was a child, and Qi Lei usually tutors the children in the village, so not only the couple, but also many people who are elderly or have children like Qi Lei very much.
So even though Qi Sheng paid for the house repairs, they all subconsciously felt that it could be passed on to Qi Lei in the future. After all, Qi Sheng and the others were away all year round, and they might not come back in the future.
When Qi Sheng came home, the old lady was busy cooking in the kitchen, and Qi Lei stood beside him occasionally helping to wash a couple of dishes, but he was actually talking to the old lady all the time.
Seeing this, Qi Sheng didn't bother him, he was also very self-aware, knowing that he would go at this time, the old lady would most likely dislike him for disturbing the intimate time between grandparents and grandchildren.
On the contrary, the old lady who was busy in the kitchen saw Qi Sheng come back. She thought that her precious grandson had been wronged a few years ago, and now she doesn't like this son very much, so she pretended not to see it, and continued to ask about Qi Lei's school. , all the dishes on hand are Qi Lei's favorite dishes.
Qi Sheng went back to the room and told the old man the details of building the house that he had discussed with Qi Dajun in the afternoon.
"Five bedrooms? What are you building so many bedrooms for?"
"Occasionally, I will bring them back with Hang Hang, but the number is too small to accommodate them."
"That's not too much. Besides, you come back once in a while, and the four rooms are as good as the sky."
"It's okay, the extra room can be used as a warehouse. Didn't you also open a small store? Just enough to store things."
Qi Sheng had originally planned a grocery room in the yard, and the idea of storing things is actually an excuse, but now he can't say that the three of them will come back to live in the future, so he can only deal with it first.
The old man saw that he had already made an agreement, and he looked completely free from financial pressure, so he didn't object anymore. The old man stared at the TV in front of him, thinking in his heart that no matter how good the repair is, he will only pass it on to Leilei in the future, and Qi Sheng spends more money now, so he, as a father, has fulfilled his duty of raising children.
When eating in the evening, the old couple were still not too tired to pick up vegetables for Qi Lei. Qi Sheng felt that he had become a transparent person again, so in order to show his presence, he also put a chopstick of vegetables in Qi Lei's bowl.
So the three grandparents and grandchildren who were still intimate and lively just now were a little stunned when they saw the sudden extra chopsticks. The three of them looked at the person who stretched out the chopsticks inexplicably. The old couple looked puzzled, and Qi Lei raised his lower eyelids and lowered his head. .
Qi Sheng looked at the old couple who were staring at him, and he still had the face to ask them in turn: "Dad, Mom, let's eat, why are you looking at me like that?"
What are you doing? What do you say? You come here out of nowhere, who knows what you want to do!
The old couple had the same idea in their hearts, but they didn't show it on the surface.
"Eat your meal well!"
After finishing speaking, he ignored Qi Sheng, and turned his head to warm up in front of his grandson.
As for Qi Lei, he cooperatively fed the old couple obediently throughout the whole process, except for the chopstick dish that Qi Sheng picked up, which remained untouched from the beginning to the end.
Seeing his leftovers, the old lady didn't say anything about him, she rubbed Qi Lei's head and said, "Don't sit down immediately after eating, go out with your grandpa for a stroll."
Qi Lei wanted to help the old lady wash the dishes, but was rejected.
"You don't need to worry about it here, someone will wash it."
Hearing this, the old man was very cooperative and took his eldest grandson out for a walk, so Qi Sheng naturally became the one who washed the dishes.
Qi Sheng: ...
He really has no status!
While washing the dishes, the old lady was still watching.
"What have you been thinking these two days? It's okay, don't provoke us, Leilei!"
"Mom, what are you talking about, what do you call Leilei? He is still my son."
"Your son? Do you take him as your son?"
The old lady got angry when she thought of Qi Sheng's cruelty to Qi Lei before, and solemnly warned him: "Qi Sheng, listen to me, if you can't treat him like you did to Hang Hang, don't worry about anything in the future. , he doesn't need you alone to hurt him, so he doesn't need you to suddenly come to care for him like this!"
He didn't care about it for more than ten years, and he treated the child so proactively and indifferently in the past few years. The old lady didn't believe that Qi Sheng would suddenly find out that he was good to Qi Lei.
Now that Qi Lei gave up on him, the old lady looked at the child who was slowly recovering, and no longer forced their father-son relationship to reconcile. Now that Qi Sheng came suddenly, she was still worried that this guy's behavior from time to time would make Qi Lei's The heart is hooked away, and when Qi Sheng does something wrong again, it won't be her precious grandson who is wronged!
