Again, people these days don’t have any spare money, and most families can save on some extra and unnecessary expenses.

Why do you have to pay more than a dollar when you can run two extra steps to get some water and you are so exhausted?

The old man's call still didn't get many people's response, and his face looked a little ugly.

Su Yi waved his hand and said: "Master, let's leave it like this. The courtyard is our common home. I'm a newbie here, so I should buy some things for the family. Captain Zhang, come to my house and I'll get them for you.

money."

As Su Yi spoke, he invited Zhang Erniu and Liu Guifen to go to his home.

Behind him, the neighbors praised him one after another.

"How good is this kid? He's sensible! He's good at what he does!"

"Who says it's not the case? If the water pipes are connected to the front, middle and back yards in the future, it will be more convenient for everyone to drink water. Who wouldn't miss him?"

"He is also an open-minded person. From now on, we must keep in touch with each other. You can't go wrong!"

Yan Fugui said cheerfully: "This kid from Yuan Chao has a great spirit in his bones. How about saying he has a future? Haha? How much trouble do you think this will save us?"

"I think it's to save you money, right?" Yi Zhonghai glanced at him.

"Save it all, save it all." Yan Fugui said with a smile, "Old Yi, say it yourself, if everyone was like aiding Korea, wouldn't it be easier to control the courtyard?"

While they were talking here, Zhang Erniu, who had just entered Su Yi's room, opened the door and got out, coughing twice to attract everyone's attention.

"What, let me say a few more words." Zhang Erniu looked around and said, "Now there are many comrades who need water pipes in their homes. We have made many improvements in other courtyards. The reason why it is not popularized is

It’s because the cost of on-site construction is high. But this time, the water supply and sewage in your yard will have to be renovated, so comrades who have water pipes in their homes, it’s a good time for you!”

"If you want to move in, it's best to move in this time. I'll only calculate the material costs for the section from the public pipe in the courtyard to your home. As for the construction costs... we'll calculate it on a daily basis. If there are many of you, we can join forces.

It’s evenly split. It’s no problem for us to change four or five companies a day. In short, it’s definitely more cost-effective than hiring us alone.”

"That's the thing. If you want to live in a household, our engineering team will go to the factory tomorrow morning and report it to us before noon tomorrow. If it's late... I'm sorry, you'll have to pay more! Okay, that's all I'll say.

!”

After saying that, Zhang Erniu turned around and went into Su Yi's house.

As soon as he left, the neighbors immediately started a heated discussion again.

If you can use only one faucet in your own home, it will definitely be better than sharing it with other houses. You can just turn on the tap whenever you want water, and you don't have to go to the yard to carry buckets back.

But it's still the same problem - money.

Many neighbors who didn't even want to pay a dollar were naturally not interested in this matter and turned around and left.

However, my family had some spare money, so we started to discuss it in high spirits.

For example, Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, and Xu Damao's family.

Yi Zhonghai discussed with Auntia about providing water to the deaf old lady's home so that it would be more convenient for the old lady to use water.

Several other companies also took the initiative and began to measure the distance to their homes and calculate how far they needed to lay pipes.

The yard was as lively as the Chinese New Year. At Su Yi's house, Su Yi had already poured tea and made cigarettes.

"Yuan Korea, if you have any ideas, just tell my brother-in-law directly. You are not an outsider." Liu Guifen said with a smile.

Su Yi smiled and said, "Should I call you Uncle Zhang?"

"You can call me anything you want, even Erniu!" Zhang Erniu said with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang, let's continue talking about the water pipes entering the house." Su Yi sat down and said, "I built a new house next to it, and I didn't think about what to do with it. Aunt Liu just reminded me that the water pipes can be installed.

Household, I have an idea. I want to change that house into a toilet and bathroom."

"Oh my god, you kid has a little bit of an idea!" Liu Guifen laughed with a ridiculous look on her face, "How can anyone turn their home into a hut? How stinky is that? Besides, this shit is peeing.

Oh, how do you fix it? Why don't you take it out all the time? It's not enough to waste time!"

"Aunt Liu, the water toilet is not a dry toilet." Su Yi said.

Good guy, is it okay to install an aqua toilet at home?

"What kind of toilet is a water closet?" Liu Guifen was a little confused, "Aren't they all toilets for peeing and defecation?"

Zhang Erniu raised his hand to stop Liu Guifen from speaking. He pointed at Su Yi and said firmly: "You must have been to the leader's home in the ministry compound, or to a place like the Friendship Hotel that receives foreign guests, right?"

Su Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"You're talking about flush toilets, right?" Zhang Erniu asked again.

"Uncle Zhang, you are knowledgeable!" Su Yi gave him a thumbs up.

"I'll tell you what!" Zhang Erniu slapped his thigh excitedly, very happy that he could guess the truth, "If there is a toilet in the room, it must be equipped with a flush toilet. This is the case in foreign hotels and the homes of senior leaders!"

Liu Guifen's eyes widened in disbelief: "These big leaders and foreign guests are relieving themselves in their own homes? Isn't this too unhygienic? How dirty!"

"You don't understand Guifen. People set aside a room for a special toilet. What's the name of that special toilet? It seems to be a toilet? Anyway, after washing your hands and flushing them, everything went into the water, and a little bit of it was pickled.

None, it’s clean and smellless!” Zhang Erniu explained, “There is also a fan installed in the toilet. When the fan is turned on, all the odor is pumped out, so relieving yourself is a pleasure!”

Liu Guifen felt like her three views had been subverted.

In fact, flush toilets existed before liberation, but they were so scarce that most people would never see them.

Although Liu Guifen has worked in community work for most of her life, she has never heard of flushing toilets.

"You relieve yourself and enjoy it? What? What you pulled out is high-grade shit?" Liu Guifen couldn't understand and was a little angry. "The houses for ordinary people are not enough to live in, so they even set aside a special room for shitting..."

Zhang Erniu and Su Yi were both laughing and crying.

"You, you have no idea." Zhang Erniu waved his hand, "Now the whole capital is renovating the sewer network. I heard that a large number of flush toilets are going to be built. This thing has already started to be built in the homes of families of some agencies, ministries and commissions.

.Have you ever seen that kind of fecal suction truck on the street? It is specially made for this kind of toilet."

After a brief introduction, Zhang Erniu said to Su Yi: "It seems that these things are squatting and sitting. They are all foreign things. We don't have a factory in China that specializes in producing this. Can you get this thing? It's really not possible.

, you build a pool with cement."

Su Yi said: "I'll try to see if I can get it first. Uncle Zhang, is there no problem with the water supply?"

"No problem! If you want to install a flush toilet, I will drain the water directly behind your room. The cesspool in the next door yard is not far from your house. When the time comes, I will drain the water directly there, which is equivalent to running the drain in your house." Zhang

Erniu patted his chest and agreed, "I will bring people here tomorrow. Then you can tell the workers where to get out of the water and where to get into the water. My sister-in-law has spoken and I will definitely make arrangements for you."

"Thank you so much. You have helped me a lot." Su Yi said, "Uncle Zhang, do you have time tomorrow afternoon? Let me have a few drinks? Then you can take my aunt and the child with you, and we will leave at home.

Fire started."

"This is not appropriate..." Zhang Erniu waved his hand and refused, "You pay me to work, and besides, we have Guifen's relationship..."

"There's nothing inappropriate," Su Yi said, "If you're fine, we'll make an agreement. Aunt Liu, you can also take my uncle and the child with you. If there's a place..."

Su Yi looked at Liu Guifen: "Do you think the restaurant we went to that day is suitable, Aunt Liu?"

"It's suitable, it's so suitable." Liu Guifen gave Su Yi a wave of joy, "Forget about the family, my brother-in-law and I can just come. There are many people, old and young, and we can't sit down."

Su Yi said: "I think it's okay. It's convenient for you two. Anyway, we won't see anyone outside!"

Seeing that Liu Guifen agreed, Zhang Erniu put down his reserve and the three of them started talking and laughing.

Before leaving, he accepted the two packs of cigarettes that Su Yi had stuffed into his pockets.

After going out, there were still many people gathered in the front yard. They all wanted tap water to enter their homes, and they stayed at the door to discuss.

Seeing Zhang Erniu going out, a group of people immediately gathered around and started asking about the price.

Su Yi and Liu Guifen looked at each other and smiled.

The matter of repairing the toilet has basically been completed. Although it has consumed more financial resources and energy, no one can say that it is not suitable at all.

It was night, when everyone was quiet, Su Yi moved the bed board, quietly dug out a big hole under it, mixed the waste soil and excavated from the construction site outside, and spent most of the night before sleeping.

Early the next morning, after Kong Damin entered the courtyard, he pretended to act out a show with Su Yi in front of the neighbors, which was considered to have completely taken Kong Ermin out.

There was no water in the yard, so the neighbors ran to wash up in the courtyard opposite or next door. Fortunately, Su Yi did things well yesterday, so there were no complaints.

Today he had to dig out a door from Su Yi's bedroom, and in addition to repairing the water pipe, Su Yi's house couldn't be left unattended, so he went to the alley to call Shen Hongyan and asked for half a day's leave.

Not long after, Zhang Erniu also entered the hospital with his construction team.

There are five families who want to connect water to their homes, including the deaf old lady's family, Xu Damao's family, Liu Haizhong's family, Yan Fugui's family, and Su Yi's family. They just have one day's work. Five people share it equally, and each family works together.

It costs less than 20 yuan to bring the ingredients, so I think it's a good deal.

It is worth mentioning that Yi Zhonghai paid for the water supply to the deaf old lady’s house.

No matter what he is like in other aspects, the elder is absolutely blameless when it comes to taking care of the deaf old lady.

The courtyard soon became a mess, because water pipes had to be laid and dug. From the alley outside to the courtyard, everything was dug up.

Zhang Erniu hired more than ten workers, and the efficiency was quite high.

Here, Su Yi and Kong Damin agreed on the location of the door opening. As the sledgehammer "Dongdong" was swung, a large hole was quickly cut out of the wall of Su Yi's bedroom.

As for the water supply and drainage, Su Yi planned to open a water supply and drainage area in the outhouse for cooking, build a cement trough underneath to surround the drain, and put a pipe on the wall above to make a sink.

There are three water supply and drainage positions in the newly built bathroom, one is a sink, one is reserved for the toilet, and the other is reserved for bathing, showering and laundry.
