When Xu Qian's house was designed, the lowest part of the earth wall was required to be repaired to three meters, and the highest part of the roof was required to be repaired to five meters two. Even the outer eaves were required to be three meters longer than ordinary eaves. Ten centimeters out.

Xu Qian made the eaves so long mainly because she was afraid of rain. The weakness of houses with earthen walls is that they are afraid of water. She has seen many old houses in her previous life, which collapsed after a heavy rain.

She will live in this house for more than ten years, and it must be repaired properly. Even if she goes out in the future, she will come back.

Zhou's father and son continued to build for another month and a half before they finished building the earthen wall.After the earth wall is built, it needs to be dried for ten days and half a month, and then the beams and tiles are put on the house.

Of course, during the half month of waiting for the earth wall to dry, Zhou's father and son were not idle.

They pulled several tractor tiles back from the brick kilns in the town.

Xu Qian also went there at that time, and bought a lot of bricks with industrial tickets and money.

She is going to use these bricks to repair the stove and toilet.She doesn't want to go to the old Zhou's simple toilet with two wooden boards.

Every time she went to the toilet, she was afraid of falling.

It's so crumbling, it's frightening to death.

After returning, Xu Qian went to the glass factory and bought six glass windows and eighty transparent glass tiles.

Because the windows in the house are relatively small, they can’t compare with the big windows of later generations, so it is necessary to put a few bright tiles made of glass on the roof.

Used to solve the problem of insufficient lighting in the house.

Fortunately, she has a lot of industrial coupons in her hand, so even if it is such a very difficult thing to buy, she can buy it.

As soon as the materials arrived, the beams and tiles would be erected very quickly, and within five or six days, the house was roughly completed.

When Zhou's father and son finished building the tiles, Xu Qian went to the county with them again, bought ten bags of cement and returned with half a tractor tow the broken, broken and defective tiles back.

Because these tiles were damaged and flawed, she didn't need money or a ticket. She just gave them something and let her pick up the damaged tiles.

When Xu Qian came back from picking up these things, she mainly built the stove. After the stove was built, if there were any left, she would build the toilet to make it look a little cleaner.

Mrs. Zhou thought she was hypocritical and had too many things to do, but she asked Zhou's father and son to help her build the stove and dig out the latrine according to her request.

When Zhou Wenjun left, he said to build five houses, but now there are seven houses after repairs, with three houses in a row at the front.

Entering from the main room in the middle, there is a bedroom on the left and right, and the windows of the bedrooms face the yard.

Then on the left and right sides of the main room, two side rooms were built to connect with the three main rooms.

As far as these four rooms are concerned.

The two rooms on the outside are relatively large, with more than 30 square meters, which is quite suitable as a bedroom, but the two rooms connected to the main house are much smaller, only a dozen square meters.

It was only half the size of the bedroom. Xu Qian planned to turn the east hut into a kitchen and the west one into a bathroom, while she lived in the main room, a bedroom near the kitchen.

The reason why she built the bathroom on the west side was because the latrine was dug outside the house on the west side. The latrine was dug low, about ten meters away from the straight line of the yard.

Xu Qian planned to use bricks to build a sewer pipe from the bottom of the bathroom to the latrine pit, then cover the water pipe with stone slabs, seal it with cement, and pile some soil on it, so that the smell will not come out.

Because there is a two-meter drop between the bathroom and the latrine, and the gutter is also built downward, so there is no need to worry about the toilet being blocked.

With this repair, the latrine is far away, and the bathroom at home will not stink.

It is relatively easy to build the sewer, Zhou Wenguo completed it in one day, and then built the bathroom.

Repairs in the bathroom are also relatively simple.

First divide the bathroom into two, build a wall from the middle, leave a small door, and build two separate squat pits inside the small door, which can be used by two people at the same time.

As for this small door, Xu Qian plans to hang a curtain on the door frame in the future to cover it up a little.

Then there is the bathroom outside, where she built a washstand, leaving a large space for a bathtub in the right corner.

If you take a bath, close the outside door and wash directly in the bathtub. After taking a bath, the water in the bathtub can also be poured directly on the ground.

Because the squatting pit is built lower than the outside, that is, the ground on the side of the sink, so the bathing water outside can be poured directly on the ground, and it can also be used to flush the toilet by the way.

To repair this bathroom, Xu Qian used a lot of cement, and she also put tiles on the sink and squat pit, which looked clean and tidy.

She was satisfied, but Mrs. Zhou felt that she had too much money and burned it. It was just a hut, and it was better than the bedroom she lived in. She could sleep on the floor with extra extra mats.

Hearing what she said, Xu Qian became vigilant in her heart, and it seemed that she would try not to bring anyone home in the future.

The bathroom is well repaired, and the kitchen is of course not bad. The two stoves for cooking and the table for chopping vegetables are all made of bricks, and they are also pasted with broken porcelain.

The stove is located in the middle of the room, built against the wall.In front of the stove is a counter for cutting vegetables, which is also built close to the wall and is about two meters long.

Next to the desk is the place for the water tank, and then a little further, in another corner, there are rice buckets and noodle buckets. Xu Qian plans to put a cabinet here in the future.

Then there is the place next to the door, the land is quite big, she plans to put a small, low table, and then put four benches, so that there are few people can eat in the kitchen.

The house was almost repaired, and she was about to be busy with the furniture. Xu Qian spent 80 yuan to buy some wood from the team, and then asked Li Carpenter in the village to help him.

She first ordered four wooden beds, two square tables, one large and one small, and a round table top. When the large square table cannot sit, the table top can be buckled up, and then a few more people can be seated.

Then I ordered fifteen chairs, four benches, one cupboard, one dressing table, and four tall cabinets for hanging clothes.Four large wooden cabinets for grain storage.

Carpenter Li took his two sons to do it, and the speed was not too fast. After the furniture was finished, it was already May.

At this time, the houses on the side of the slope were also completely dry.

Xu Qian saw that there was still some cement left after the kitchen was repaired, so she went to the river to pick up some slates and stones, carried them home, and assembled them to fill the whole house.

Then pour the cement with the green sand into the gap between the stones, and then smooth it out. Because there is less cement, only the bedroom she lives in has a concrete floor.The other three bedrooms are all mud floors.

However, the father and son of the Zhou family trampled on it very firmly, and they wouldn't throw ashes casually, so Xu Qian didn't care.

As for wall decoration, people in this era plaster and paste newspapers, Xu Qian doesn't like it.

So I bought some glue powder and added it to the lime, because she was a builder in her previous life and knew very well the benefits of adding gelatin powder to the lime.

One is that it can whiten. Pure lime is gray and gray and unsightly when brushed, and the dust is often brushed off.

Gelatin has the function of thickening and bonding. Using it will prevent dust from falling on the wall, and it also has the effect of moisture resistance. Adding gelatin to paint the wall will keep the wall skin from falling for at least three to five years.
