Siheyuan: My wife is Wen Li

Chapter 24 Design
They do a lot of cleaning the roof. The main house has three bays, and the bay refers to the width. The number of tiles on it is not too many, and one day is enough to complete it.

"Let's go in and talk." He Yuzhu led Captain Zhao into the house. "Open the floor tiles and re-pave them. The ground must be leveled. Also check if there are any mouse holes around. Now is the time to get rid of the four pests."

"It's not a big problem. It only takes a day." Captain Zhao nodded, "How to build a partition?"

"Separate the three bays directly, but I don't want to make it so simple, add four feet for me, and use stones for the base below." He Yuzhu said.

Captain Zhao looked at it and said with some envy: "The house in your courtyard is really nice. One room is only [-] meters. They are all separated enough to not look too small. It is enough to separate three rooms."

"All the people in our courtyard were the first to work in the steel rolling mill, and the others are also from affiliated units of the factory." He Yuzhu explained, and then continued: "Four bases, two on each side."

"Just divide the partitions on each side into three parts, seal the left and right sides, and have a double door in the middle. I want double-layered glass on top."

"Double-glazed glass?" Captain Zhao was stunned.

"A single-layer one will buzz when it shakes, but a double-layer one will not." He Yuzhu said: "The thicker the glass, the better."

"I'm really not sure about this. Let's take a look at it then!" Captain Zhao thought for a while and was not sure, "If the left and right sides are sealed, should it be sealed with glass or wooden boards?"

"It's made of glass, otherwise it would be too dark in the middle." He Yuzhu pointed to it and said, "I'll make attics for the left and right houses, but only half of them will be built so that the sunlight won't be blocked."

"The one in the middle must be the living room. I want to install a ceiling fan on it. I'll buy this one."

"I probably understand what you mean. Let's do it first. It will take two days to clean up the roof and the ground, and at the same time erect pillars for you. Are these pillars for support?" Captain Zhao asked.

"Yes!" He Yuzhu nodded, "Can this load-bearing problem be solved?"

"No problem." Captain Zhao continued: "I will draw a simple diagram for you later, and we will change it then."

"Okay, it's settled, you can just come over tomorrow." He Yuzhu said he was not sure, it would be easier if he had the drawings.

……

Captain Zhao came early the next morning with his people and two ladders. He Yuzhu asked for leave yesterday and would have to go to work later today.

Everyone in the courtyard was curious, but they soon understood that He Yuzhu wanted to clean up the house, which had nothing to do with them.

The things in the house were packed up last night, and some of them were put directly into the space. The furniture left a bed and sent it to Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang's room, plus a quilt.

The rest of the clothes were packed and temporarily placed in He Yushui's room, and the pots and pans were piled up under the porch in front of Yan Bugui's house.

The radio also turned to He Yushui's place, and the other furniture was discarded and sent to Yan Bugui for disposal. He Yuzhu didn't plan to replace it with any old furniture, and then directly bought new ones for use.

After all, there will be wind in the future, and using old objects is asking for trouble, and he doesn't know him yet, so there is no need to pursue this.

Captain Zhao actually finished the drawing in one night. He Yuzhu saw that it was really good. Although it was a sketch, he drew his own ideas on each position.

It's just that the attic is a problem. If you want to build an attic, you need to open holes on the side next to the wall. He Yuzhu thought about it and gave up.

There are so many problems with wall openings, it’s better not to have them at all!

Anyway, he didn't plan to have a child too early. If he got married and wanted a child, then when the wind blows, his oldest child may go to the countryside to be an educated youth.

And Wen Li is still a child herself!

She must be changed first, and then she can have children, so that she can better educate her children and survive the three-year disaster.

My family has a small population and good food, so this is considered normal.

He Yuzhu made up his mind early in the morning!
"Sure, that's it. Just calculate the price!" He Yuzhu nodded, "Also, I'm going to paint half of the walls in the house. Do you think it can be done?"

"The price of this paint is not cheap, and what about your paintbrush outside the house?" Captain Zhao pointed to the veranda and windows.

He Yuzhu summed it up, "Don't paint outside, otherwise it will look too new to me, and the influence will be bad."

"Well, I understand. Nowadays, half of the walls in Tongzilou are painted. All white walls are too easy to get dirty." Captain Zhao then said, "Okay, I'll give you a price tomorrow."

……

The project volume is not large, but He Yuzhu has a lot of requirements. If ordinary people can finish the work in a few days, but He Yuzhu's time is at least 20 days.

When Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu cleaning up the house, his heart skipped a beat. He Yuzhu was 20 years old.

However, they had not had much contact with each other in the past two years, and Yi Zhonghai knew that He Yuzhu could not be counted on as a spare tire.

So, he didn't say much. Now that he has that time, he might as well watch Jia Dongxu carefully and let his skills improve again.

Jia Dongxu really gave him credit. He is now a level three fitter. If he can be trained to become an eighth level fitter in the future, he will be able to live a better life in his old age.

Qin Huairu is also a good person. She does all the housework at home. She will definitely be able to take care of herself in the future.

In addition, the money that He Daqing sent was all in his own hands. He Daqing was worried about He Yuzhu's temper and didn't want his money, so he sent it to himself.

This can be regarded as a saving grace, Yi Zhonghai thought.

Yan Bugui has been relatively happy recently. Now He Yuzhu has moved to live with Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekang. He and He Yuzhu eat at Yan Bugui's house every night. He usually brings two lunch boxes back, and also gives a lot of white noodles.

The food of the Yanbu Gui family has improved a lot.

Until Sunday, He Yuzhu went to the banquet in the morning, didn't have time to go home and change at noon, and went directly to Wen Li's house by bicycle.

Find a place where no one is around, take out various ingredients and seasonings from the space, and then get back on the road.

Wenli's eldest sister's family and second sister's family came, and there were quite a few people. They had a lively meal, and the eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law were full of praise for He Yuzhu.

……

In the evening, Wen Li sent He Yuzhu out, "Wen Li, the house is being cleaned up at home, and it will be finished in about ten days, and the smell of paint will be able to live after that."

"Why are you telling me this?" Wen Li blushed.

"As the future hostess, shouldn't you express your opinion on how to arrange the furniture?" He Yuzhu chuckled.

Wen Li was moved when she heard this, "I'll see and talk about it later!"
