Chapter 34 Renovated and no money(1/2)

The trench was dug and the foundation was laid on the first day.

However, it takes time to dry the cement. Even if the weather is relatively warm in the past two days, it will take at least three days to continue to dry.

However, the masons were not idle either.

There was a layer of white in the house and a fireplace was built. They had never done this job, and the speed of doing it was a bit slow.

After finishing this, the two houses also need to be laid with wooden floors. The current wooden floors are all real wooden floors, with a layer facing upwards polished and waxing. I was waiting for this before ten days without starting construction.

There are also flower beds on both sides of the yard after entering the door, and the workload is not small.

On the evening of the next day, Yi Chuanzong's work also came. He had to simply carve a pile of white marble slabs on it. On the one hand, it was mainly beautiful.

This is a big job. This is used on the floor of the yard, and a layer of this must be pasted on the surface of the flower bed. The edges and corners must be ground into arc corners, and even this must be pasted on the fireplace.

He even bought two more stones, one for making toilets. Lou Xiao'e can still jump around now, and she will start to look at her in a few months. It is too uncomfortable to squat in the back to use the toilet and it is also a bit dangerous.

The rest is one piece used to make a stone table. He planned to plant two Chinese Sophora trees on both sides of the main room of the yard and install a stone table under the tree. In summer, the couple sat under the tree and drank tea or had a meal, which was very interesting.

The idea was very beautiful, and the time was tight when he finished it. He only took two days off. He couldn't do the same day when the stone came the next day.

I rushed forward and spent more than four hours starting in the evening to make the stone carvings of the fireplace.

On the third day, he went to work and was still the same equipment that could bind explosives. This job was very difficult. It took him a few days to design it alone. It was only a few days before he started working on it.

With this life, he couldn't go back early, so he could only go home after get off work and work overtime at night to work hard for his nest.

Another week later, the home was finally renovated.

As for the two huge white marble stones at the door, there was no change from before, and the Yi Chuanzong had no time to deal with this thing.

Now, Yi Chuanzong is pulling Lou Xiao'e into the yard.

"Oh, why are you doing so anxious? I haven't been there."

"Let's go, I'll take you to see. Now I'll clean it up, which will definitely make you a big change."

Lou Xiao'e reluctantly was hugged by Yi Chuanzong, and she still had the scene of broken walls in her mind.

She turned her head and said fiercely: "You have removed all the doors and windows of the past, how could you decorate them like you?" When she looked up, she saw the two tall stones, and she became even more angry. "There are these two things, so it's so weird that it looks so high."

Yi Chuanzong explained: "Didn't I take time to carve it? You should have seen the fireplace I carved? Isn't it very beautiful?"

Lou Xiaoe curled her lips, "Is this the reason why you chatted with the two Soviet girls in Lao Mo for more than twenty minutes? That thing can't be cooked, it just looks good."

Yi Chuanzong was speechless, and he was really just asking people about the key points of attention to the fireplace.

Moreover, although this fireplace has a hearth, its main function is to keep warm, not to cook.

"You can't say that. I'll build a rack to put it in it. Grilled sweet potatoes and barbecue are very useful. After I order it, you will know how beautiful it is."

"Now I will take you to see your new home first. The construction times you have been here were under construction, and the floor tiles have not been laid. I can't tell how beautiful it is. Now the masters cleaned it out when they left, and it looks absolutely different!"

After saying that, Yi Chuanzong happily opened the door, and Lou Xiaoe also cheered up and looked inside. She was still looking forward to the new family.

The door opens.

At first glance, the yard is no longer as blue-gray as before, nor is it like the yellow and black soil turning out during decoration.

At this time, the yard was snow-white, and there was a huge lotus printed in the center. There were clusters of snow-white lotus, large or small, around it. It didn't look like a yard, but like a pond.

In the distance, the original dark and gray doors and windows were replaced with a complete set of mahogany doors and windows, which looked bright.

Two Chinese locust trees on the left and right sides of the main house grow inside the round tree platform, and the green locust trees and bright red doors and windows are full of vitality.

Yi Chuanzong said proudly: "How about it, the Ruyi Lotus in the middle is beautiful? Not only is it beautiful now, but there are also clear lotus light and shadows under the moonlight. It can also store water slightly when it rains, and the layering will be stronger at that time."

Lou Xiao'e walked into the yard with brisk steps. When she turned around, she no longer had a stone platform with red bricks exposed. The original stone platform was covered with a layer of smooth white marble. On the side were stone sculptures carved with countless middle flowers, surrounded by strange patterns on the edges.

The shape of the pattern is a square formed by four different 'Si' shapes, which looks a bit rotating.

"So beautiful, it's really different."

Turning her head, Lou Xiao'e's eyes were a little weird. The door on the building on the southmost side of the west was clearly the door before their house, and it was actually installed here. She pointed at her finger and asked, "It should be a toilet there, right?"

Yi Chuanzong nodded and said, "That's right, I strictly follow the previous design. At most, I took into account the opinions of several masters and adjusted the area slightly."

The smile on Lou Xiao'e's face continued to magnify. The yard looked extremely neat after changing into a layer of floor tiles. The carvings were also particularly beautiful. Even the original house looked completely new. This decoration effect was exactly in line with her expectations.

"When will you start construction of the two big stones in the outer door?" Lou Xiao'e said with some anticipation.

Yi Chuanzong smiled bitterly, "This is a big job. If I do it seriously, it will take more than a month to finish it. However, I usually have to go to the clinic for three days a week. I probably can't finish it in four or five months. I'll wait until the work in the factory is not busy. If I can skip work, I should be able to do it in two months."

Lou Xiao'e comforted her, "What are you doing in such a hurry? How tired you will be? These days, I have been busy until twelve o'clock before going home to sleep. It's enough to do it today. If not, let's ask someone to do it."

Yi Chuanzong quickly refused and said, "That's not possible. This is my job, so where can I let others do it? I don't want to touch it."

Lou Xiao'e smirked with her lips and reached out to slap his chest, "Just give a stone to him for him to play with. You protect him so tightly, which made him depressed for many days."

Yi Chuanzong raised his eyebrows slightly and let out a little, "Okay, in two days I will use fertilizer to grind him two beads to let him play with it when he is fine. After all, I am over forty-five years old and so old."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and asked, "When will we move here?"

Yi Chuanzong thought for a while and said, "Next month, stay there for another week, and then choose a day to move."

Lou Xiao'e nodded in agreement. Suddenly, she thought of the six people working here. They not only had to take care of a meal at noon, but also had to pay them wages.

"Have you paid for other people's wages and bricks, cement?"

Yi Chuanzong replied directly: "It's done. When I came back this afternoon, they just finished cleaning, so I just got it for them. Master Hong is 1.5 yuan a day, the remaining mason is 70 yuan a day, and the chief engineer of Jiutian is 45 yuan. The total number of bricks, tiles, cement and other things is 297 yuan three."

Lou Xiao'e frowned and asked suspiciously: "Uncle didn't give you money, you didn't get money from me, you didn't move the little yellow croaker at home, where did you get the money?"

Yi Chuanzong looked out of the yard, then ran over and closed the door before returning. He leaned into Lou Xiao'e's ear and whispered: "Isn't the book our dad gave me a map of gold hidden? I dug a place and buried it at home a few days ago, and then sold two."

In fact, he took the time to go to those places to dig out the things in the past two days after Lou's father left. He was afraid that the map would be inaccurate enough, and if he didn't dig it, he would have fun.

So I dug out the skill of exploring the place. Anyway, the matter of digging a hole after the past is always in front of the tree, and the left and right is only one and a half meters deep. It is very simple to find the right place.

There is not much gold weighing a ton. If it is solid, it will be at most one square at most and the height is about five centimeters thick.

Because Lou's father used wooden boxes at the beginning, it looked a little more, and he stacked up ten long wooden boxes 20 cm tall.

Now these things are placed in the portable space, occupying a cubic meter of space.

Lou Xiao'e asked carefully: "Where did you put it after you dug it?"

Yi Chuanzong replied in a soft voice: "It's next to the tree in the northwest."

Lou Xiao'e nodded slightly, but she was still a little nervous.

Seeing her like this, Yi Chuanzong comforted her softly, "Don't think about it anymore. I won't leave the ones behind at home, otherwise you will always be anxious, and I will find an opportunity to bury those under the tree."

"Actually, in that half a year, Lou San and the others took away a lot of them. These are things that they can't be taken away. If our father started a business, he would earn it in just a few years."

Lou Xiao'e turned around and gave him a big eye. This man had no idea about money and had no greed for it. Otherwise, Lou's father would not have been able to hand the money to him so confidently.

Lou Xiao'e pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "You are hiding your private money."

Yi Chuanzong couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, what he spent was all the money he received from the system, and the little yellow croaker that Sister Hua gave him.

Before the Chinese New Year, he bought his watch and left about 1,550 yuan. He spent more than 150 yuan on fireworks, food, drink, entertainment, dates, and gifts.

Two months later, when I bought pigs for the villagers, I received about 260 yuan in relief funds, and I spent more than 100 yuan on snacks, music, and tea. This is still 1,500 yuan. After buying the piglets, I have nearly 1,001 yuan left.

Now April 27th is almost another month, but his rescue money has increased during this period, and it has become about ten yuan a day.

It's three hundred a month, almost one thousand fourteen. He doesn't spend much this month, and Sister Hua doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. Qin Hua only gave her 40 or 50 yuan in total, and that's only 1,300 yuan left.

This time, the renovation cost a lot. It cost 390 yuan for two large stones at the door, and it cost 342 yuan for building a long room to the west.

The white marble floor at the back was also quite a bit, and it looked like it was just a paving floor, but it couldn't withstand the size of this area.

Trees can be planted in his yard, with a total of about 200 square meters. Now there are three rooms, which are more than 80 square meters, and there are still 120 square meters. Ten meters by ten meters is only 100.

A floor tiles are nearly four centimeters thick, and a simple calculation is nearly five cubic meters. The weight of one cubic meter of marble is 2.7 tons, which is twelve and a half tons.

Because it is not a big stone, the price is much cheaper. However, the people handle it squarely, with a flat surface and even thickness. He can directly carve it after taking it over, so the price is up.

A ton is priced at thirteen yuan, a total of one hundred and sixty-two. In addition, a convoy of forty people set off in the evening while the cart was moving for more than twelve hours, and after walking for more than seventy miles, they had to go back.

This is another two days of work, similar to last time, a person with a total salary of 70 cents is 56 yuan, and that Master Zheng's salary is higher, totaling 220 yuan.

The floor of the house is black walnut, and the wood is better or a fine worker. The slots between the two wooden boards are perfectly fitted. There is no chainsaw processing. It took ninety-three to drive out in ten days. The two doors and four windows were made in another store, because it is mahogany and it costs 135.

The two small Chinese Sophora trees did not cost much. This was something he asked someone to help him choose in the suburbs, and then he dug himself, which was two boxes of cigarettes, which could be ignored.

The total settlement is 1,200 yuan, which means that the yard cannot be sold, otherwise it will be more valuable than the yard.

To put it bluntly, he had a total of 1,300 yuan, and with those miscellaneous things, his money was no more than fifty yuan.

The price of gold has fallen now. He asked when he was on a walk last time. Now that one gram of gold has fallen below twenty, he can only sell it for twenty yuan per gram, a small yellow croaker is 31.5 grams, two small yellow croakers are 62.5 grams, and pure gold is only 1,250 yuan, but the small yellow croaker left by his father-in-law is 993.

Even if he really sells two small yellow croakers, his pocket money is not enough to pay.

Yi Chuanzong looked at Lou Xiao'e stretching out his little hand pretty, and he felt a little chill in his heart, so he could only say dryly: "I don't have money."

"You don't have money?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at him suspiciously, and she clearly didn't believe his words.

Seeing her appearance, Yi Chuanzong hurriedly took it into his arms. Fortunately, he had paid the bill for as much as he could, otherwise he would have to catch it now.

"Wife, look, this one has spent so much... this one has spent so much... I can barely enough to spend all my pocket money. I really have no money now!"
