Chapter 71, Furniture into the house

Sunday, October 10th

The fifth day of the tenth lunar month

Suitable for: wedding, wedding, relocation, moving into a house, traveling, worshiping, opening a business, and traveling.

Taboo: breaking ground, burial, mourning.

After a week of ventilation, the smell in Li Weiguo's newly renovated house has almost completely dissipated.

Moreover, every day, the third aunt would come into the house to help light the brazier, once in the morning and evening. Now that the moisture and moisture in the house have been basically dried, Li Weiguo is planning to move home today.

It has taken half a month from the start of construction to now, and Li Weiguo can't wait any longer.

In fact, I have never had a good night's sleep in the same room as Silly Zhu these days.

Now I am finally liberated.

Early this weekend, Li Weiguo went out on his bike early.

First, I bought two steamed buns outside, had a quick breakfast, and then went straight to the small courtyard in Dongzhimen.

After arriving at the small courtyard, Li Weiguo carefully checked the surroundings to make sure that no one was staring at the small courtyard, and then with a wave of his hand, he released all the ancient furniture that he had selected in advance.

In the blink of an eye, a large pile of furniture filled the entire yard.

There is an Eight Immortals table, four benches, six Taishi chairs, a confession, a cabinet, a set of imperial concubine couches, two large screens, a set of ancient bookshelf, a set of desks and chairs, and a large wardrobe.

The Qing Dynasty red sandalwood furniture is uniformly selected and has a unified style and beautiful appearance.

After putting away the furniture, Li Weiguo didn't waste any time. He went out for a walk and called the two bosses to come back.

"That's all the furniture. Help me take it to Nanluogu Lane, pack it and unload it. See how much it costs." Li Weiguo pointed to the pile of furniture in the yard to the leader Ban'er.

The leading man looked along his fingers.

Oh, my dear, they are all antique furniture, and they are worth a lot of money. This customer is quite generous.

Without thinking too much, he estimated the distance in his mind, and then said: "Sir, two cars of these furniture can almost be loaded. It costs 50 cents per car. Do you think so?"

"Okay, let's move it." Li Weiguo didn't care about these pieces and directly waved them to start work.

"Okay, please do it." After saying that, the leading man happily called on the brothers next to him to start working together.

It's only about ten minutes' journey from Dongzhimen to Nanluoguxiang. They can receive jobs early in the morning. These two bosses are also very hard-working. They roll up their sleeves and start moving.

Not long after, everything was loaded into the car and tied up. Li Weiguo led the way and led a few men back to the courtyard.

Back in the courtyard, the neighbors were getting up one after another and starting to prepare for the day's work.

Li Weiguo asked Mr. Ban'er to unload the furniture at the door first, while he went directly to the third uncle's house in the front yard.

When he arrived at the door of the east wing, he knocked on the door and shouted into the room: "Third uncle, are brothers Jie Cheng and Jiefang awake? The furniture has been pulled back."

The third uncle had already gotten up. Hearing the movement outside the door, he quickly got up and opened the door: "Hey, Wei Guo, you are really early. Brother Jie Cheng is already up. I'll call you."

With that, he turned around and shouted to the next room: "Jie Cheng, Jiefang, Section Chief Li has pulled the furniture back. Come out quickly to help."

"Coming." x2

The Yan family has always been very motivated when it comes to things that are beneficial. After a while, the Yan brothers put on their clothes and ran out.

After calling the two brothers, Li Weiguo went to the main room of the middle courtyard to prepare to call the fool. How could he let free labor go.

Back in the main room, Shazhu was sleeping soundly, hugging the quilt and snoring there.

Li Weiguo went up and slapped him on the butt.

"Snapped"

"Hey."

Silly Zhu woke up instantly, covered his butt, and asked sleepily: "Weiguo, why did you hit me?"

"Brother Zhu, don't sleep, get up quickly and help me move."

"Ouch. What are you doing so early? It's hard to sleep in for a while on the weekend. If you can't do it later, I'll help you later." After that, Silly Zhu lay down again.

How could Li Weiguo let him sleep back in the cage, so he quickly pulled him up again.

"I'm finally out of the sea of ​​suffering. I can't wait any longer. Hurry."

"You're saying that, why don't you recognize someone when you pull up your pants?" Silly Zhu said resentfully.

"roll"

"Hahaha"

There is no need to go to work on weekend mornings. It is when there are the most people in the courtyard, and there is a lot of movement in the house.

After a while, the residents in the middle courtyard and the backyard heard the noise and gathered in the front yard to watch the excitement.

Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi and Jia Dongxu, who came to watch the excitement, saw that Yan Jiecheng and Sha Zhu were helping Li Weiguo move furniture, so they also came over to help.

Six or seven guys started working together, which was very efficient. In a short time, all the furniture was moved into the room and placed according to its location.

There is a confession table placed against the wall in the living room, and in front of the confession table are two Taishi chairs.

There are also two Taishi chairs on the left and right sides of the lattice, used to entertain guests. In the middle, there is an Eight Immortals table and four benches, used as a dining table, and a cabinet is placed next to the kitchen table.

In the bedroom on the left, there is a desk, chair, and wardrobe, and the antique shelf is placed against the grate.

There is a set of imperial concubine's couch in the lounge on the right by the window. On the opposite side are two large 3.6-fold flower and bird screens with a length of 40m, a width of 1.8cm and a height of m. The two screens are arranged in an L shape, surrounding the large bathtub. , you can’t tell what’s inside from the outside.

As soon as this furniture is placed, the style of the entire room instantly improves, making it antique and beautiful.

In the house, a group of young men were wandering around the house like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, touching this and that from time to time.

"Come on, brothers, let's take a break and have a cigarette."

After paying the bills to the bosses and sending them away, Li Weiguo took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked them one by one for the young men who were helping.

"Chief Li, your house is really beautifully decorated."

Liu Guangqi, the eldest son of the Liu family, took the cigarette and looked at the furnishings in the room enviously, touching a piece of furniture from time to time.

There are five members of Liu's family. His parents live in one room and the three brothers live in another room. There is no private space and the decoration is not good.

The most important thing is that Liu Guangqi doesn't want to live at home. If the factory hadn't allocated a house to him, he would have wanted to move out.

Although Liu Haizhong was nice to him, he would take it out on Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu when he was unhappy, and beat them until they screamed, which somewhat frightened him psychologically, so he was particularly envious of Li Weiguo living alone.

"Hey, actually the house hasn't changed much. The main thing is that the furniture has a unified style and looks more pleasing to the eye." Li Weiguo said with a smile.

"So the leader has good taste. Simply decorate this room and it will go up to this level." Liu Guangqi complimented.

"Haha. I don't know what taste there is. I just did it casually." Li Weiguo waved his hand and said modestly.

After scattering a circle of smoke, Li Weiguo took out another match and threw it directly to Xu Damao on the side, asking them to light it themselves.

"Chief Li, didn't it cost a lot to decorate your house so beautifully?" Xu Damao took the match and asked with a smile.

"It's not much, inside and out, the labor and materials are only one hundred and fifty yuan."

"Hey, that's not expensive. The doors, windows and floor tiles have all been replaced. Later I will also renovate my house. You have to introduce me to a master."

Xu Damao is also envious of such a beautiful style. With the conditions of his old Xu family, one or two hundred dollars is really not a big deal.

His father, Lao Xu, works in a movie theater, and his mother works as a servant for a wealthy family. He is also a projectionist in the factory. He has plenty of money and money, and has enough money to build a house.
