Chapter 165 The New House
After discussing the renovation of the old house, Liu Junhao didn't delay any longer, and went directly to the street with Zhang Qian to find Zhao Guangming.The construction people in the town are basically his Lao Tzu's subordinates, so he must be looking for him to build a house.

"Why are you thinking about building a house in such hot weather?" Zhao Guangming was surprised when he heard that.Rural houses are generally built after the autumn harvest, when the weather is not hot and people are free.

"Isn't this about to get married on November [-]st? Hurry up, I just wanted to ask you for help." Liu Junhao smiled.

"I said why did you pass cigarettes as soon as you came up? You need me for your feelings." Zhao Guangming sprayed a smoke ring and said, "I didn't say anything, I will call my dad right away and ask him the price. You know , Since the road was repaired, the construction wages in our town have been rising. Last year, the price was ten yuan a day. This spring, it rose to thirteen, and now it is fifteen."

"It's okay, the price is easy to talk about." Liu Junhao also knew that what he said was true. Since Daqingshan was opened to traffic, the prices of various things in Qingshan Town have gradually increased.

Zhao Guangming asked them to drink tea in the front room, and ran to the courtyard to call his father.

In less than 5 minutes, the kid came in: "I told my dad about your building a house. The wages are calculated as contracted labor, and you will be charged a total of 2000 yuan. But the contracted labor does not include materials, how about it?"

"That's okay." Liu Junhao nodded, almost as he expected, "You find the person early, and I will start work in two days."

"It's no problem, people are always there. By the way, would you like me to contact the trucks that pull bricks and sand?" Zhao Guangming asked again.

He regards Liu Junhao as a friend now, so he can help as much as he can.He really didn't want the 2000 yuan salary just now. On the phone, his father said that he could call it between [-] and [-] yuan, and Zhao Guangming called for the lowest price.

"That's kind, thank you. My buddy will send you a few catties of eel later." Liu Junhao originally wanted to contact him by himself, but now that he has him, it saves a lot of trouble.

"No, business is business, and feelings are feelings. You send me rice eels, and I'm embarrassed to charge you later." Zhao Guangming refused with a smile.

At the end, he asked about the lime, and asked Liu Junhao if there was any slaked lime, if not, it would be troublesome.When lime just leaves the kiln, it is raw ash and must be soaked in water to mature lime.Generally speaking, quicklime should be soaked in water for at least ten days and half a month, otherwise the viscosity will not be enough, and the sand will easily fall off when building walls or plastering walls.

"Don't worry, I've already prepared it." Lime is always prepared a month or two in advance before building a house in rural areas, otherwise it will definitely be too late.Liu Junhao was cramming, and he had just thought of this issue.

It must be too late to make lime foam now, just as the village is also planning to build a house after autumn with lime foam.He said hello to Liu Guangju, first use the lime in the village, and then make up as much as he used.

After chatting for a while, Liu Junhao saw that the matter was done, so he didn't sit down any longer, and got up to say goodbye with Zhang Qian.

When he was about to leave, Zhao Guangming pulled Liu Junhao aside and said in a low voice: "I said that you are so poor in the village that you can't even find a construction worker in a village, so you have to go to the town to find someone?"

Khan, it turned out that he pulled himself over to ask about this matter.Liu Junhao really wanted to ask the villagers for help, but after the wedding date was set on the [-]th, he changed his mind.

During this period of time, the field is full of farm work, and every household is extremely busy. How could he have the nerve to ask them to come and help for ten days.

"That's right, there are a lot of people living in the fields now." Zhao Guangming followed suit and nodded.

"The wages are so low?" Zhang Qian only spoke out the question in her heart when she was far away.In fact, she has been confused since Zhao Guangming said the price.

Originally, Liu Junhao said that after the renovation of the house, even the furniture would cost 1 yuan, but she still didn't believe it.Now it seems that it is indeed possible.

"How much do you think it will cost? Before Qingshan Town, it was only 4 to [-] yuan to build a new house, but outside of Qingshan Town, this price is not easy to use."

"The daily salary of a construction worker in the city is 50 yuan, which is too big. When I was in school, those male students still clamored that they could not find a job to work as a construction worker after graduation."

"Hehe, every place has its own market."

After finishing their work, the two of them didn't stay on the street for too long, and went straight home to clean up the house.

Although it is a refurbishment of an old house, there are many places that need to be changed.The entire roof must be completely removed, and the furniture and other things in the house must be removed first.

There is plenty of room in Liu Junhao's yard, and the things that were moved out were placed directly in the yard, and a large canvas was built above it to prevent sudden rain.

"I said Xiaohao, are you drying furniture or are you going to move?" Liu Laosan was startled when he came to buy rice field eels.

"I'm going to renovate the house in the past two days, so let's get things out first." Liu Junhao hurriedly passed the cigarette.

The cigarettes have just been bought from the town, and they are ready for the house.

"It's a bit hot to build a house now, you really know how to choose the time. When the construction starts, I will go back and tell my wife first, and clean up the field work early, so that I don't get too busy at both ends."

"No, no, I went to the street to find a good person..." Liu Junhao said his thoughts again.

"I'll come and help when I go up to the floor. I need someone anyway." Liu Laosan heard that he had made arrangements, so he didn't say much.

He didn't pay attention to it at ordinary times, but now that he packed it up, Liu Junhao realized that there were quite a lot of miscellaneous things in his house.

I didn't finish my work in the morning, and Professor Zhao and his wife came to help when the weather was cooler in the afternoon.

The four of them moved until it was dark before they cleaned up the house.

As soon as I sat down to catch my breath, the sound of a tractor sounded outside, and it seemed that the people from Lasha had arrived.

"I said Xiaohao, why are you thinking of building a house at this time?" As soon as he was greeted out, he saw Er Mazi jump out of the car, "Just now the driver asked for directions at the entrance of the village, I wondered, why didn't I know you were building a house?"

"Hehe, it's not that time is tight, so I didn't intend to alarm everyone." Liu Junhao had to repeat the conversation again.

The sand was transported and dumped on the side of the road. Anyway, the road is spacious, and it does not delay the villagers' carts.

Zhao Guangming was quite agile in handling the matter, and the construction team and the brick truck came over the next day.

Rural houses are very particular about building new bricks, old tiles and old stones. The tiles just out of the kiln are very brittle, and they will only become firm after being exposed to the wind and sun for a long time on the house.Therefore, Liu Junhao did not smash the removed machine tiles, but let people neatly stack them at the base of the wall, preparing to build other houses in the future.

Originally, Zhang Qian wanted to come over to help boil the water in the morning, but Liu Junhao thought it was troublesome, so he served watermelon directly.

On a hot day, after eating watermelon soaked in well water, I feel comfortable and have energy to work.

At noon, Liu Junhao cooked dinner early and called them down to eat.

There are many people and strength, and the entire roof was demolished around [-]:[-] p.m.

"Hey, this looks like walnut wood" a construction worker was about to lift the girder down, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Really!" the people on the roof shouted one after another.

Walnut wood is hard and not prone to insects, so it is a pity to use it as a beam.

Liu Junhao did not expect that the beams of his house were made of walnut wood. Two days ago, he was thinking of using walnut wood for furniture.I really want to do whatever I want, with these few pieces of walnut wood, there is more than enough wood for making furniture.

Only later did he know that when the warehouse was first built, everyone built it according to high specifications, and the walnut wood was cut from the mountain by the villagers with great effort.

When the room was cleaned up, it happened to be sent to the floor, and everyone was busy going down the floor.

The day passed quickly, and because it was a contractor, he didn't go up to help.But he wasn't idle, he was always busy with miscellaneous things below.

At night, Liu Junhao slept directly by the side of the shed. This time, his wish was really fulfilled - to lie on the bed and watch the stars.

When we went up to the floor the next day, almost all the great laborers in the village came, and it seemed that everyone got the news.

With more hands, the work was quicker, and it only took a long time for the floor to be fully paved.

After that, I started to cement the walls, which was much faster.As Liu Junhao expected, the wall was built in less than three days.

Next is the upper beam, and Liu Junhao also prepared coins, peanuts, walnuts, candies and other things early in accordance with the old village rules.

Shangliang was naturally lively, and the half-grown children in the village were waiting in the yard early after eating, even Xiao Haoyu and Tongtong were no exception.

He went to the street to find Lao Guo to change the coins, and he exchanged them for 50 yuan in total. Those five cents and one yuan coins made these boys laugh from ear to ear.

Of course, Liu Junhao did not forget to give red envelopes to those who came to help, while Zhang Qian held a wedding candy for the spectators to grab.

After the floor slabs on the second floor are laid, the remaining work is to plaster the walls.

Water evaporates quickly in summer, and the plaster on the walls has dried in just a few days.

Whitewashing the walls is a bit of a hassle, requiring constant delivery of lime.Although there were very few lime barrels, they couldn't hold up to a large amount. Hundreds of barrels had to be delivered to the second floor in one morning.

Liu Junhao saw that the construction worker was sweating profusely, so he simply took off his clothes and got on the horse shirtless.

He has great strength, and after half a day, he didn't take a breath.

After painting the walls, the floor was poured down. Originally, Zhang Qian wanted to pave the entire interior with floor tiles, but after Liu Junhao persuaded her, she only put a floor on the second floor.

Looking at the changes in the new house day by day, it would be a lie to say that I am unhappy.

The weather is beautiful, it has been sunny all this time.

In ten days, the house was completely built.

Snow-white tiles are pasted on the outside, and it really looks like a small villa from a distance.

Although Liu Junhao was eager to move in, he patiently waited until the inside was completely dry.
