Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 142 Plan
After breakfast, Tie Zhu's loud voice sounded outside the old house not long after.

"Uncle Red Soldier, are you here?"

"Uncle Red Soldier!"

"Open the door!"

In the way of calling people in the countryside, the output basically depends on roaring. The main reason is that every household has an independent yard. If you don’t shout louder, the people in the house can’t hear it at all.

What's more, the yard of Li's old house is bigger.

Regardless of the backwardness of the countryside, there are some rules that must be followed. For example, if you visit the door, the host’s door is closed, so you can only shout with your voice. Even if the door is open, you can’t enter casually. You can only cross the door if you come out to say hello.

Opening the door, Li Hongbing saw that Tie Zhu's old face was flushed, and he knew that he hadn't breathed for a long time, and he was suffocated.

"Damn it, Uncle Hong Soldier, I almost lost my breath because I called you." Tie Zhu was out of breath.

Li Hongbing also knew that his own yard was big, and when someone came to him from the sky, he would yell at the top of his voice, and those who didn't know thought that someone from the house had left.

Thinking about going to the market to buy a bell, install a doorbell or something.

"Is it too early?"

Tie Zhu waved his hand, "I've eaten, I'll go to Wuya Ridge early to look at the stones, there are still a lot of things to do in the village, the kiln factory will reopen tomorrow, and every family in the village will send a man to clean up the kiln factory today."

"Why didn't you inform me about this?" Li Hongbing frowned.

Generally, when there is a major event in the countryside, the village first shouts it with a loudspeaker, and then the village cadres go door-to-door to notify and register. Those who should be sent out, and those who should be sent out, if one family is not notified, it means that the family has a problem with character. Don't wait to see.

Of course, not notifying Li Hongbing is definitely not a matter of character, but Li Huaizhong thinks that Uncle Hongbing is from the city and a doctor in the village.

Seeing Li Hongbing's expression, Tie Zhu quickly explained, "Just now, the loudspeaker yelled in the village. You live far away. I'll stop by and say something."

"That's fine, I'll let the blind and idiots pass."

Back in the yard, Li Hongbing asked the blind man and the silly boy to take their hoes and shovels and go to the kiln factory in the village to help.

"Ni'er, should you go and find stones with your father, or go to the village to play?"

Anna naturally wanted to be with her father.

The meadow at the end of May is full of colorful wild flowers in different poses, like a big colorful carpet.

It was supposed to be a quiet, elegant and intoxicating meadow picture scroll.

But because of Anna's appearance, the tranquility was broken.

Riding Black Horn and four wolf dog cubs on the meadow wanton rampage, chasing chickens and rabbits, leaving scratches on the original beautiful grass.

Li Hongbing and Tie Zhu followed behind, walking and chatting.

After walking for a while, Tie Zhu stopped, his old face flushed.

"Uncle Red Soldier, I want to borrow some money from you."

Borrow money?

What an embarrassing old man, like a woman, Li Hong asked curiously.

"Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Tie Zhu sighed heavily, with loneliness and shame on his face, "Oh, it's not my boss who insists on buying a house in the city. I borrowed everything and only managed to scrape together 1 yuan. It’s not even enough to pay the down payment, why do you need so much money for the down payment?”

Even though Dongfeng City is only a fifth-tier city, it costs hundreds of thousands to buy a house, and 1 yuan is really not enough to pay the down payment. Moreover, Tie Zhu is different from those in the villages of Hongqi. He is diligent and diligent. The land and the people are stable and honest. Li Hongbing is willing to borrow this money.

"How far is it?"

"4."

Originally, Tie Zhu had borrowed all of them in the village, but every family lived in the same way, tense and tense, it would be fine if they borrowed tens or hundreds, but if they borrowed 4 at once, no one could get it out.

In the end, Dakui made a move and asked Tie Zhu to borrow from Uncle Hongbing. He sold mushrooms a few days ago, which shows that Uncle Hongbing has a solid family background.

"I'll give you the money when I get back, but first of all, remember to pay the IOU. I don't want to hurt my relationship because of tens of thousands of dollars."

Seeing that Uncle Hong Soldier was willing to borrow money without even thinking about it, Tie Zhu, a big and three rough old man, blushed with excitement and thanked him again and again.

"I will pay the IOU when I go back, and I will pay back the money at the end of the year."

"Don't worry, when the courtyard wall is repaired, there will be a lot of wages. Jianguo is not working on the construction site. No, you can let him go back to the village. I plan to take advantage of this time to repair the courtyard wall and renovate the old house. Anna uses Not used to toilets."

After Anna returned home from the idea of ​​renovating the old house, Li Hongbing began to plan.

The standard dry toilet in the countryside is to dig a cesspit, then put two wooden boards on it, build a simple wooden shed outside, and hang a fertilizer bag on the door.

In summer, in this kind of dry toilet, the stench is smoky, blowflies fly everywhere, and maggot sprouts scurry all over the ground. If the excrement is not cleaned in time, you have to squat halfway to remove the poop, and pull a little bit, just in case I forgot to pinch it, it can splash shit and urine in the ass.

It’s even more difficult in winter. The wooden shed is ventilated everywhere. If you squat for a while, your legs and buttocks will be numb from the cold, and you have to stand up against the wall when you get up.

Especially when going to the toilet, you have to match the code.

When you walk to the front of the toilet, you have to cough twice with your throat first. If there are two coughs and coughs from inside, it means there are people inside.

People in the village are used to it and it doesn't matter, but Li Hongbing feels uncomfortable every time he goes to the dry toilet, especially after his daughter comes back, every time she goes to the toilet, she has to be hugged by Li Hongbing to solve it.

The same is true for bathing. There are no bathrooms in the countryside. They boil water in the room and use the bathtub to wash, which is extremely inconvenient.

The grass tiles on the roof of the old house are very damp. When it rains, the musty smell of grass will come into the house. Even the windows are covered with paper.

There is also circuit modification. Although Xu Dalang paid for the transformation of the transformer and freed Caogou Village from the embarrassment of power trips, the wires laid in the old house of the Li family are still old aluminum wires from decades ago, and it is difficult for electrical appliances with slightly higher power. Accept it, not to mention that Li Hongbing plans to buy household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, and televisions for his family.

And running water...

And winter heating...

In a word, it is time for the old house to be renovated.

The purpose of returning to the old house is to enjoy the pastoral life, not to suffer.

In addition, my daughter will live in the old house for a long time in the future, and the renovation of the old house can only be put on the agenda in advance. Taking advantage of this time to rebuild the courtyard wall and build a new house, it happens to be solved together.

However, manpower is also an issue.

Tie Zhu, Da Kui and the others can do rough work, but fine work such as decoration, pipe laying, and circuit renovation can only be done by a professional decoration team.

It seems that we can only go back to the city to hire a decoration company.

Oh yes!

How could I forget my eldest brother-in-law.

He is engaged in real estate, so he must have resources in this area.

It's really riding a horse to find a horse.

Li Hongbing shook his head and smiled wryly, and immediately took out his mobile phone to call his elder brother-in-law Qian Zhiyong.

Looking at Uncle Hongbing, Tie Zhu shook his head and laughed, and finally took out his mobile phone. Knowing that Uncle Hongbing had something to talk about, he consciously walked away to smoke a cigarette.

Finish the call.

Only then did Li Hongbing know that the elder brother-in-law had a big business in the past few years, not only in real estate, but also a decoration company. The worker who fell from the scaffolding in the supermarket decoration of the second brother-in-law's headquarters last time was an employee of the elder brother-in-law's decoration company.

It's really flooding the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't recognize the family.

On the phone, the eldest brother-in-law patted his chest and promised that in two days, the designer and supervisor of the decoration company will be arranged to visit Caogou Village, and since it needs to be renovated, it will be done in one go.
