Siheyuan: I have a small world

While Wang Yu was pushing away, Shi Xianglei had already walked over. Before he could speak, he said hello: "Master Lei, I'm sorry for disturbing your meal."

"Where is it, Comrade Wang Yu, have you taken over the property rights of the abandoned courtyard next to it?"

When Xiang Xianglei came over just now, he also heard what Wang Yu said to his mother-in-law, and suddenly thought of what Wang Yu mentioned before about the abandoned courtyard next to him.

"Yes, isn't this a great achievement? The government gave me the property rights of the courtyard and gave me a courtyard name. From now on, my courtyard will be like yours, with a single building and a small courtyard. This No, I just came to you to ask about construction matters."

Wang Yu did not deny it and said to Xiang Lei with a smile.

"Hey, you're awesome!" A look of surprise appeared on Xiang Lei's face when he heard this, and he immediately raised his thumbs up and gestured towards Wang Yu.

"Hey, luck, it's all luck, haha." Wang Yu waved his hand and replied implicitly.

"Comrade Wang Yu, please come in and sit down first. It's not easy to talk at the gate. I'll finish eating right away. I have a rough idea of ​​the area of ​​​​the small courtyard. You can tell me your thoughts and requirements, and I will make a rough calculation. How about I go over there tomorrow morning to take a look at the actual situation, add up the construction costs, and start helping you build your house?"

When Xiang Lei heard that Wang Yu wanted to take over the abandoned courtyard next to him, he paid close attention to the situation of the abandoned courtyard next to him while helping him decorate the house.

Therefore, he had a clear idea of ​​how to build the abandoned courtyard, but he had to listen to Wang Yu's ideas and opinions.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Master Lei and sister-in-law." Wang Yu did not refuse and pushed the bicycle into the courtyard.

After sitting down, Lei Yang brought tea and water. Xiang Lei quickly picked up the bowl and ate it in three or five times. He took paper and pen from the table, then came over and placed the chair next to Wang Yu.

With a few swipes, Xiangxi Lei drew the general shape of the abandoned courtyard he had seen before.

Wang Yu immediately reflected the situation of the small courtyard after seeing the style, and he admired his painting skills very much.

"Comrade Wang Yu, your small courtyard was used to entertain guests. It is about 420 square meters, of which the pond and garden account for 60%. Then there are three large rooms in the north plus a wing on the left and right. There is some flat land. I wonder if you want to restore the yard to its original state or build a few more rooms?" After finishing the layout of the yard, Xiang Lei asked Wang Yu his thoughts.

"Master Lei, it's like this..." Wang Yu brought up the idea he had discussed with his family before.

After Wang Yu finished speaking, Xiang Lei thought for a while, changed a piece of paper and started to draw a new layout diagram based on the courtyard.

Courtyard layout

After the two people discussed for half an hour, they roughly made a preliminary plan.

According to Style Lei's suggestion, four houses should be built in a row on the front, with the second bedroom, living room, study room and master bedroom from left to right.

Then build three houses on the west side, with the bedrooms on the south and north sides separated by two to three meters, so that the second bedroom can get sunlight and not be too dark.

On the left side from north to south are the guest bedroom, small living room, and public bathroom.

As for the east side, two rooms are built, which can be used as bedrooms or dining rooms for backup.

There is also a distance of two to three meters between the two rooms on the east side and the master bedroom on the north side, allowing sunlight to enter the master bedroom.

Then, between the south side of the east wing and the entrance screen wall, there is an aisle leading to the small yard where the reverse seat room is located.

Then build a room on the south side near the gate. The area can be slightly larger. Part of it can be used as a kitchen and part of it can be used as a utility room. Between the east side and the reverse room is the southeast gate.

In addition, a three-meter-deep cellar was dug in front of the main and secondary bedrooms to serve as storage rooms.

Also, according to Wang Yu's idea, he hopes to raise the height of the master and secondary bedrooms so that the interior of the room can be divided into two floors, but from the outside there is only one floor.

"How about building a two-story building, similar to a back room?"

After listening to Wang Yu's idea, Xiang Lei suggested that Wang Yu directly build it into a two-story building.

"No, it's too conspicuous. It's better to keep a low profile."

But Wang Yu hesitated and declined the suggestion.

"Then this..."

According to Xiang Lei's advice, dig down 30 centimeters inside the room and build an additional 30 centimeters above it. This will add 60 centimeters to the height. The total height is the same as the other main rooms, more than four meters, but Wang Yu's is closer to five meters. meters high.

Nearly five meters high, with the attic partitioned inside, it won't look a little low like the attic partitioned out by Wang Yu when he renovated the house some time ago.

At the same time, by doing this, it will not be too obvious from the outside that the house is taller than other houses.

Wang Yu thought about this and agreed to do it.

Wang Yu is very satisfied with the final layout renderings presented by Style Lei.

"Master Lei, I'll ask you to bring someone to the door tomorrow to measure the specific construction plan."

The plan was decided and Wang Yu was ready to leave.

"Okay, I'll find someone soon. We'll go to your home tomorrow to conduct on-the-spot surveys, decide on a construction plan, calculate the costs, and try to get you into your new house before winter." After Xiang Lei made the promise, Wang Yu left and returned. Home.

After Xiang Lei explained his mother-in-law, he went out to find someone.

After all, this is not an interior decoration, but a complete construction of an entire courtyard, involving all aspects, and he definitely cannot handle it alone.

Moreover, this is a big job, and the construction cost starts from at least two to three thousand yuan, which can help more old people get through the difficult stage.

They, the old and the young, don't have any serious jobs, so they can only join each other's groups to keep each other warm and help each other through difficulties!

Chapter 60 I have a condition, but I don’t know whether I should say it or not?

The next day is weekend break.

In addition, Wang Bao had agreed to treat Yu Longfei and some other workers to dinner the day before yesterday.

So Wang Yu also gave out some blood and contributed some meat and wine.

As for the vegetables, don't worry about them.

It's getting more and more difficult now, and it's hard for his family to produce too many rich dishes, so they just use common vegetables such as cabbage, radishes, potatoes, etc. to make some meals and go with wine.

Moreover, Wang Bao also thought about the reaction of the neighbors in the courtyard. His ability was limited and he couldn't invite everyone to have dinner together, but he couldn't treat others the same way.

Therefore, he simply used candy coupons and asked an acquaintance to exchange them for a pound of White Rabbit candy, and gave each family a few pieces as a token of his appreciation.

This White Rabbit toffee is a candy that was just launched this year. It costs two yuan per pound. It is very expensive. It can be regarded as a high-end luxury product in this era, but it is still difficult to buy. Wang Bao only managed to grab a pound because of his old connections. .

If it were Wang Yu, he would definitely not be so masked.

Perhaps it was Wang Bao's way of doing things and the value of the Wang family's military force that made most people in the courtyard friendly to the Wang family.

After all, if you live in such a large courtyard without any means or methods, you will definitely be jealous of others.

Eating is at noon.

But early in the morning, as soon as Wang Yu had finished breakfast, Xiang Lei came to the door with three people and some survey equipment.

Their surnames are Na, Wu, and Jin. I heard that their ancestors were all wealthy, but now they are reduced to doing this kind of work to earn a living.

"Master Lei, have you guys eaten?"

After introducing each other, Wang Yu took Xiang Lei and others to the front yard and asked.

"Comrade Wang Yu, don't worry about us. We all came here after eating and drinking. We brothers will help you with the on-the-spot survey. When we are done, we will immediately place orders and start work.

The amount of work required to build this building is not small. You must prepare at least this amount before it can be completed for you. Of course, if you use ordinary old bricks or the like, almost this amount will be enough. "

The master named Na Mingquan seemed to be impatient. As soon as Wang Yu finished speaking, he immediately answered, first raising three fingers, and then two fingers.

It means that if you want to build it, it will cost you at least three thousand yuan to start, and it will cost more than two thousand yuan if you are close to it.

When Xiang Lei heard this, he explained with a smile: "Comrade Wang Yu, don't mind, the master is like this, he speaks more straightforwardly, please, don't be the same as him, but the amount mentioned is the fee we have discussed. The specific amount will have to be determined after the on-site survey is completed. Will you still cover it all this time?"

"It's all-inclusive, it saves trouble. If possible, you can give it to me. Once it's finished, I'll give you a pound of meat each. I'll take care of the several masters who will help me."

Next, building a house will depend on other people's efforts.

And the fees they said weren’t too outrageous.

Therefore, Wang Yu is also happy to give them some benefits so that they can do their best.

In addition, this is not like some collapsed old courtyards where there are many old bricks that can be reused. Most of the bricks in this courtyard have to be transported from outside.

In addition, Wang Yu requires strong materials, so cement and steel bars must be used.

"Comrade Wang Yu, are you telling the truth?" Wu He was a little excited when he heard that Wang Yu said that Jianhao would give them a pound of meat.

These days are not easy for everyone, especially the old and the young. They have no serious jobs and can only do odd jobs. It is slightly more difficult for workers to obtain some bills. Most of them rely on selling ancestral treasures on the black market to exchange them.

It’s so difficult now that we don’t even have enough food to eat, let alone eat meat.

"Master Wu, I, Wang Yu, work hard to build a house for me. As long as a few masters work hard to build a house for me, you will be fine." Wang Yu smiled slightly and answered Wu He's question with certainty.

"Okay, okay, as long as Comrade Wang Yu's words are true, I dare to risk my life to build a house for you." Wu He patted his chest and promised after receiving Wang Yu's confirmation.

"Comrade Wang Yu, please take a look."

"Yes, yes, for your pound of flesh, I have to build your house properly. Please put it down."

Now is not the time to refuse. If you don't have enough food and drink, if you don't have a thick skin, the meat will belong to others. Therefore, other people have also pledged their votes for this pound of meat.

Wang Yu smiled at their assurance, took them to the abandoned courtyard, and asked them to study and discuss how to build it on their own.

After nearly an hour of research by the four people from Style Lei, Wang Yu was given a layout drawing and detailed list, and quoted a price of 3,200 yuan.

This is at Wang Yu's request, and the materials are all good, otherwise a more ordinary one would cost around 2,100 yuan.

Wang Yu had already considered this, so he nodded and paid them a deposit of three hundred to get them busy.

This time is no different from the previous renovation of a dilapidated house. The amount of work is larger and the time is longer. Not only are there more people, at least ten to fifteen people will start, but many times more materials are used. The order funds alone are not a small amount. The style Lei and they are sure to do it themselves. Sorry.

Therefore, after Wang Yu discussed with them, he went to Wang Yu to settle the project payment every weekend.

They will give Wang Yu the detailed list of income and expenditure.

Wang Yu had no objection to this. As for the deposit, Wang Yu didn't mention it again this time. By the way, he also gave the deposit of about 20 yuan from last time to Xiang Lei.

"Comrade Wang Yu, what are you doing?" Xiang Lei looked at Wang Yu in confusion.

"Master Lei, please accept it. I believe in your craftsmanship and there is no need for a deposit. However, I have a request..." Wang Yu looked at Xiang Lei and others with a smile.

"You said, as long as we can do it, there will be no ambiguity." For the sake of meat, Shizi Lei said without even hesitating.

Others nodded in agreement.

"It's not something that makes you too embarrassed. It's just that I just heard from Master Lei that the three of you, Master, are all from the Eight Banners, and your ancestors are all rich. If I want to get some antiques like jade, I don't know. Is there any way?"

Since the last time he let the Light Gate absorb enough jade in the black market basement to open the space, Wang Yu has been searching for jade to see if there can be any changes in the space.

But during this period, I only got three to five yuan on the black market intermittently. Although the light gate space could absorb it, there was no big change.

Therefore, just after Xiang Lei introduced the identities of Na Quan and Wu He, Wang Yu had an idea.

I want to use their identities to help them collect a large amount of high-quality jade for me.

And he can give them money, tickets, meat and food as reward.

In this regard, after listening to Wang Yu's request, the four of them, Xiang Lei and Na Quan, looked at each other and became silent for a while.

Wang Yu also knows that if you want the horse to run but don't let the horse eat grass, it will be useless and no one will do this speculative thing.

"In this way, since the current situation is difficult for everyone, I can exchange it with you for money, tickets, meat or some food.

As for how much you exchange with other people, I don't care. I like collecting jade recently. I have no shortage of money or meat. If I am short, I can go hunting in the countryside and mountains, and then exchange money for food with others.

Therefore, I can have some surplus food on hand for my hobby of collecting jade, but I don’t know if the masters are willing to make the middle money! "

"It's not like we can't help with this matter."

Just when Xiang Lei and others were silent, Jin Ping, who had been silent, suddenly took the initiative to speak.

"only……"

Chapter 61: Being targeted by someone and getting killed!

When Jin Ping saw everyone looking at him, he didn't take it seriously and asked Wang Yu: "Comrade Wang Yu, at this time of year, everyone is short of food. If you have a way to get some food, let alone jade, I will give you antique calligraphy and painting." We can all get it for you. There is no shortage of rich people in Sijiu City, but..."

Wang Yu raised his chin and made a "please" motion with his right hand, signaling Jin Ping to continue.

Jin Ping glanced at Wang Yu, as if he had made a decision, and asked Wang Yu: "But we can help you get three to five pieces of high-quality jade. If your demand is large, there is nothing we can do. But it's a coincidence. , a few of us often go to work for others, but we know that there is a person who has a large amount of jade, but we will not get involved in this matter, you have to talk to that person in person. "

"Who is that master?" Wang Yu repeated in his mind. The person who could let Jin Ping call him "master" is probably someone with a certain status among the old and young.

Moreover, looking at the cryptic expressions of Xiang Xianglei and the others, they obviously knew who the man Jin Ping was talking about.

There must be other characters involved.

Therefore, Wang Yu hesitated and asked: "Is there any trouble?"

In principle, Wang Yu just wanted to get some jade in a low-key manner, not wanting to be in the limelight or cause any trouble.

As a result, the four of them, as if they were in sync with one another, nodded at the same time, like chickens pecking at rice.
