The next day, Miao He held Da Bai and came to the new house with Yang Dalang, Aunt Yang and two cousins.
A few days ago, the appearance of the new house was actually ready. Gray-blue bricks, blackened tiles, simple and calm tones. With grid window carved in dark wood. The small hooks, dripping water and stone carvings on the door eyebrows are decorated with meticulous patterns. Against the background of more and more dense trees, green, there is a quiet and harmonious look, and many people are impetuous.
As soon as Li Ming saw people, he proudly introduced all his attempts in this new house. Including applications after intense discussions with Miao He.
For example, heating pits and flues in main rooms and bedrooms. As long as the charcoal is burned, the soles of the feet or the bottom of the bed are sure to warm up. Open larger-than-average windows for ventilation and lighting. In addition to the bedroom, the stove room and the main room can now be bright. In winter, there is also a double-layer window design, which is not like the usual need to avoid air leakage.
The atrium is fully covered with blue bricks, just like the rest of the house. When you enter the house, you will no longer have the trouble of dust drifting. Knee-high wooden floors are also laid in the main room, resembling a modern Japanese-style room. This is what Miao He misses the comfort of not wearing shoes at home in modern times, and specially requested.
It is also just right that the light-colored wooden floor with water-repellent paint can brighten the slightly dark blue brick color in the house. The sun hits the wooden floor, and the effect of reflection is even better. For this reason, the furniture ordered by Miao He is also matching. There is a low cabinet next to the wall and a low table in the middle. It is not a problem to entertain eight or nine people.
The stove room is equipped with many storage cabinets and workbenches, and the number of stoves has also increased to three. As for the latrine, it is more particular. It is a pity that Miao He could not make a biogas digester, but after his strong request for cleanliness, convenient water use, and simple cleaning, he was barely qualified.
The latrine is located in another corner outside the main building. Open a small door to go out, there are eaves on the top, and there is still a raised blue brick floor under your feet, so you are not afraid of rain. If the fragrant grass and leaves are planted on both sides of the aisle, the major daily events will no longer make people want to escape.
There is also a new bathroom. It is not as luxurious as building a bathtub directly, but the drainage and ventilation inside have been carefully considered. There is also room for drilling wells. There is a river passing by near this place, and the probability of digging a well to produce water is very high.
Not to mention, even the trees planted outside were cleverly arranged by Li Ming. Can not cover the sunlit atrium, but also cover the house in the afternoon. This kind of particularity makes people feel a little cool as soon as they step into the house in summer.
Second Aunt Yang was overjoyed after seeing the new house.
The Yang family's old house is also a blue-brick house. The older generation of the Yang family's hunting luck did not encounter a major accident. After saving a little money, they built one of the few blue-brick houses in the village. After being let by Yang Dalang to live in this room without a word, she always felt indebted to Yang Dalang. Now that she lived in a better place, her heart was finally gone.
"It's really nice here! I haven't thought about many things before, ah, it's more appropriate! Datong, don't hurry up and bring those you beat up with your brother! And those cushions I sewed a few days ago. , and bring it here too, I'll get the house done today, and Dalang will have a new house to live in tonight!"
Yang Datong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help being excited when he heard it, "After reading this house, I finally know why He Ge'er hit those weird furniture!! So it is, so it is!! Hahaha, good! Ah! Mother, I'll move now! Brother, come quickly!"
Teenager Yang Dachuan recently learned woodworking from his brother. No way, Yang Datong's business is getting busier and busier, and more brothers help, more reliable and easier.
Li Ming was also curious. "It turns out that there are special furniture? I just thought, how do you put this furniture in the house like this!! Come on, all of you will move with you!! Get the house done, I'll see what else I can do all!"
So pieces of furniture were moved into the house.
After everything was set up, the house looked bigger, with a few dark blue upholstery, and it was even more comfortable!
Looking at Li Ming nodded again and again, "Sure enough. And the workmanship is good, correct and careful, not too fancy! This is the big copper brother, okay, let's leave an address for each other, and there will be guests who want to be like Ge He'er in the future. The house, I have drawn this picture, and the furniture will definitely find you!"
Yang Datong was overwhelmed with joy. Second Aunt Yang also rarely smiled stupidly and thanked him repeatedly. Yang Datong thought later, "I almost forgot! There are two more rocking chairs!! This is what Brother He said!"
Naturally, that day, Yang Datong received three more orders for the rocking chair alone.
You must know that building a house is such a heavy labor, it must be a kind of enjoyment to be able to spread out on a chair and shake it after returning home after finishing work! ! Li Ming knew at a glance that he had to buy it! One is definitely not enough! As the boss, he has to have a dedicated card, and the number of people in other work classes is a bit small, but if you have it, you have to snicker, right
At noon, Miao He showed off his skills. He made big dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, eggplants with meat, stewed chicken with Codonopsis ginseng, and shredded carrot cakes. Second Aunt Yang and his eldest daughter-in-law also came to help. Everyone was busy at their new home, and they had their last meal with Li Ming.
The fat man in the work class was sad while eating, saying that if he couldn't eat this meal in the future, he would definitely lose weight.
Everyone was very concerned, but they were also happy for him. The fat man is too fat, he needs to lose weight.
And there is no such thing as a banquet in the world.
In the past two months of getting along, some affection has survived. Miao He asked for the address in Li Ming Town, and said that if the fruit on the tree was edible, he would definitely send him a box. Li Ming is also thick-skinned. He didn't say no, and said that if there were guests who wanted to see the house he built, he would bring people here.
Saying goodbye to Yiyi, a few cars from the work class finally left on the road. Second Aunt Yang and her two sons continued to help move the rest of the things and put them back together. The house was finally moved.
When the new wooden door of the courtyard was closed, the house suddenly fell silent.
The evening wind blows coolly. Accompanied by the chirping of cicadas in the distance.
Miao He let out a sigh of relief, and then felt a deep exhaustion welling up.
Yang Dalang, who spoke very little today, touched Miao He's forehead, "It's hard for you."
Miao He took the man's hand and smiled, "Of course. Our home is now."
Yang Dalang's dark eyes were more relaxed. Miao He knew some strange things in the house, which must have made Yang Dalang think more. Maybe one day he will tell the truth, but for now, he can only pick what people want to hear. Of course, it is also his own truth.
All of a sudden, people were picked up again!
"Do, what are you doing?" I'm all sweaty now!
"Bathroom." Big enough for two people to wash.
"..." Could this person apply it too quickly
At this time, Da Bai was very happy up and down on his new cat climbing frame.
Even if no one cares about it now, it's not boring!
—
Anan slept in the new home for one night, and the next day Miao He woke up with a new mood. I was afraid that I would get up a little violently, causing some dizziness. Miao He shook his head and rubbed his face, when Yang Dalang had already woken up.
After getting out of bed and changing clothes, Miao He saw that he had prepared a basin of water and towels on the low cabinet beside him, and went outside to find someone after simply washing. Now that the entire yard can be tossed at will, Miao He can't wait!
In order to build a house, I spent 26 to 72 taels before and after this time. Compared with the originally scheduled twenty-two, it was much more. Because Mr. Qu promised to give them some saltpeter so that he could make ice by himself in the future, Miao He couldn't help but add a cellar made of blue bricks, which cost another five or six taels. Fortunately, the next batch of food money came into the account, and I had no regrets to pay this extra cost in time.
But it's still tight! Gotta make money to make money.
When I went out, I saw Yang Dalang watering the vegetable field, most of which was completed. Miao He was refreshed, turned around and baked some oily flatbreads with white noodles in a good mood, and then scrambled eggs and bean sprouts, chili cabbage, and Yang Er Aunt's pickled sauerkraut, and called Yang Dalang back for breakfast.
At this time, Dabai has also jumped on the table and tore his cake. He loves Syryang, and everything that Sygne makes, and becomes a more vegetarian cat. Miao He sometimes worries that this Dabai will be able to catch mice in the future
The little black cat didn't know the owner was worried, and was happily eating with its tail flicked.
The breakfast that had just been prepared was placed on the low table in the main room. When Yang Dalang came back, he had already rushed his feet on the blue brick steps outside the gate. At first, I was not used to it, but after taking off my shoes and stepping on the wooden floor a few times, I did learn another kind of relaxation.
As soon as he sat down, the little brother smiled and handed a burrito. The chili cabbage and sauerkraut were rolled in the flatbread, and I took a bite. It was sour and spicy with the sweetness of the flatbread. It was delicious! Immediately, his appetite was hooked up, and Yang Dalang ate one in two or three bites, and Miao He was still holding most of the cake in his hand.
"By the way, do I have to invite a warm pot meal after moving? How can I invite someone?" Miao He thought of this.
"Nearby neighbors, relatives and friends, those who helped build houses," Yang Dalang paused, "and the village chief."
Miao He pinched his fingers and calculated, "How many people will there be? Not counting Li Ming and the others, Second Aunt, Qing Aunt, Yuan... uh, my aunt and the others, the neighbors and friends only came to visit you, and some There are four or five families, and the village chief. Hey, Liang Yuanwai, Doctor Ji, and Shopkeeper Jin should also invite them. Can you be busy?”
"Ask someone to do it. You don't have to do it yourself." Yang Dalang shook his head.
Miao He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "That's great. Otherwise, with so many people, the three stoves at home would not be enough. I'll go back and ask Second Aunt to see who I can find to help set the table."
When I asked Second Aunt Yang, I learned that there is only one Aunt Guo in the Miao village who is capable of running a table. This includes the one-stop service of ordering food, meat and tables and chairs. As long as she finds her, there is no need to tell the villagers to bring their own chairs and tableware.
Miao He and the others are not seeking face, mainly because they don't want to bother with the materials. The vegetables they grow have to be supplied to the restaurant, and the deposit is taken first, so it is not good to miss the appointment. I want this Aunt Guo to do it all for her. Just right.
But I don't want to see that Aunt Guo's business is in the peak season, and it is not during the busy farming season that there will be some festive activities for guests and drinks in several villages. She was full of schedules throughout July, and at the end of July there was a big marriage banquet for Miao Liang and Miao Min. If Yang Dalang and the others wanted to book a table, they could only wait for the beginning of August. Fortunately, there is no time requirement for hot pot rice, as long as it has not been delayed for three months.
So Miao He made a decision, "Let's do it in early August! It just so happens that I don't have a lot of money on hand, so I can save a little bit!"
