Not two days after the third party was washed, Mr. Tian and the others returned to Henghe. Before that, he wanted to talk to the third party about the MSG several times, but when he saw the cold and indifferent look on the third party's face, he refused to talk in depth.
Had to give up.
The old man knew it well. If Luo Shi's premature birth had not happened, maybe he could use his status to suppress the third child and go into business with several brothers and sisters. But if something like that happened, he would just think about it again.
All his children are living a good life, but he doesn't have the face to say it.
Although Luo's mother and daughter were safe in the end, to put it bluntly, they were still at fault.
As for the old man's return to Henghe, Tian Minyan and the others were not very happy or angry. Although they were relieved, they fully understood that Luo's premature birth would not be cured by the third wife and those relatives.
It's just a word that refers to a relative.
And Tian Minyan and the others didn't have time to deal with those miscellaneous things. Because there were too many tedious things to deal with when building a house, Tian Minyan almost ran to town several times a day.
She first finalized the pipe material for the floor heating with the ironworker. She used iron pipes and ceramic splicing. They were large and small. They discussed where they would be used and how much coverage they needed. As for the dry toilet, it was still the same.
As in modern times, ceramic tiles are used for heating. As for the sewers that open to the channels, they are still made of iron pipes, just like the floor heating.
Most of the houses in Yangmei Village are made of stone, wood and mud bricks, and the houses of this large family are all made of blue bricks and black tiles. The more prosperous houses are, the windows are inlaid with glazed windows, so that the houses are brighter and more transparent.
Tian Minyan asked the ironworker why coal was not used to burn red bricks. The ironworker asked her what a matchmaker was? Only then did she realize that not only did there not be cotton in the world, but there were also no matchmakers. It had to be said that it was barren and backward.
When she discovers a large coal mine, she becomes really famous.
Without coal, there would be no red bricks. Tian Minyan had to use blue bricks to build. Their home is now better off. Although glazed windows are expensive, they are not unaffordable. Tian Minyan has always believed that money must be earned, but one must also learn how to make money.
Enjoyment, after all, is something that life does not bring and death does not take away. Working to death is just to live a good life, so they decided to use glass windows for the windows.
Today's houses are only about seven or eight feet high, and they are all one-story. If the weather is hot, the air pressure in the house on the ground floor will become oppressive and hot. Therefore, Tian Minyan set the height to more than one and a half feet, and some houses are even built with a
The attic is made into a room like a small duplex. In this way, space is greatly saved. If there are many guests, there is no need to worry about running out of space.
Since it was decided that the house should be built high, the foundation must be stable. Tian Minyan was not stingy about spending money. After all, the foundation is the most important.
Building a house was a big deal. There was a craftsman named Liang in the village who often helped people build houses, so Tian Minyan asked him to be the foreman. Uncle Zhu from Luo Huzi, who was familiar with their family, and the strong man from the seventh uncle's family heard that they were going to build a house.
, all rushed to help, and together with those who were friends with us in the village, there were about ten people in total.
Tian Minyan was given thirty-five cents per day for each person who came to help build the house, and they also had to eat breakfast and lunch. Tian Minyan and the others felt that this money was not much, but those who came to help felt that it was enough, because now
The farming season is over, the weather is getting cold again, and there is not much work to do. Besides, they also take care of the food, so the people who come to help are quite happy to do so.
"Second girl, according to your instructions, all the rooms in the inner courtyard have wooden floors, and the guest rooms and servant rooms are all made of floor tiles. The wood and other items have been ordered at Chenji, and the boss will send them over this afternoon.
"Xie Chengzhong handed over his small account book, took out a small bag of silver from his arms, and said, "There are thirty taels of silver left here."
Tian Minyan took it, weighed it, and asked in surprise: "So cheap?" She thought that wood was extremely expensive, and what they wanted was not cheap wood.
There are also hills in Yangmei Village, and some people have to cut them down when building houses. However, those trees are not good lumber, and the thick ones used as roof beams have also been cut down. Tian Minyan and the others did not prepare in advance, so they had to
Bought with silver.
Their family wanted to build a yard with three entrances, which required a lot of wood, so they gave Xie Chengzhong fifty taels of silver, but they didn't want to have so much left.
"Young lady, you don't know. This is thanks to the gift from the emperor. The bosses of the lumber shops got a lot of money off when they heard that the Tian family was going to build a house as a reward." Xie Chengzhong said proudly.
Tian Minyan was suddenly enlightened and said: "Don't bully others by taking advantage of your power. They also want to do business. We will give you what we should give. Don't be greedy for petty gains and cause criticism."
Xie Chengzhong's face straightened and he said, "Don't worry, girl, I'm measured."
"Well, you and I can go to the county to order these glazed windows and blue bricks this afternoon." Tian Minyan flipped through his account book and said, "We started laying the foundation today. We need to prepare these things as soon as possible."
"yes."
Tian Minyan dismissed him, checked the drawing again, wrote down all the things she would need, and planned to buy them all at once in the county.
At noon, Tian Minyan and the long-term worker girl who carried the rice went to their new homestead together. From a distance, they saw a group of people linking arms and having sex in full swing.
Digging the foundation was a hard job. Because Tian Minyan planned to build the house high, the foundation had to be dug deeper than ordinary people's houses. It took a long time to dig the first step of the foundation.
Tian Minyan knelt down and took a closer look at the depth of the foundation and the useful materials. Although it was not as good as steel and concrete, there were gravel and wooden piles at the end, so it didn't look unstable.
Foreman Liang came over and said with a smile: "Second girl, don't worry, the house built by me, Foreman Liang, has never fallen down. The foundation will be laid firmly for you."
Tian Minyan smiled and said: "It's not that I can't believe you, but you've also seen the drawings. My house will be built higher than other people's houses, and the foundation must be extremely stable and solid. Please help me.
Take more care."
"I know." Foreman Liang smiled boldly and said: "The whole of your house is different from the ones I have seen. If it is built and lived in well, I am afraid that more people will build houses like yours in the future.
Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about the bathroom and the toilet, which are very novel. In my long life, this is the first time I have heard of someone building a toilet into a house.”
He hesitated a little as he spoke, and asked quickly: "Second girl, the toilet is built like this, doesn't it smell bad?"
"When the house is built, Liang Gong will know." Tian Minyan chuckled.
The two talked for a while, and then Tian Minyan went home. When passing Aunt Zhu's house, Zhu Yanyin happened to come out. Seeing her, she said happily: "Sister Yan, I was about to come to your house. My father asked me
Let me tell you, the oven you want is ready for you to take a look at."
