Courtyard: Complain first at the beginning

Zhao Xiaotang couldn't imagine it, but he quickly cleaned the house.

But some places were too old and Zhao Xiaotang had to give up. While cleaning the house, Master Liu and others pushed three wooden carts over, with floor and wall tiles, wood and other materials on them. s material,

The third aunt was washing clothes at the door. When she looked up, she saw a few strangers coming in. She quickly put down the clothes in her hands to ask questions. When she saw the people on the opposite side coming out, she didn't say anything, but wrote and read. The situation here,

Zhao Xiaotang just came out and saw Master Liu holding a brick in his hand and followed by a few people. He smiled and said hello:

"Master Liu is here! Have you eaten?"

"We've had dinner. Here are the materials you need. Where can you put them?"

"I told you yesterday how to decorate it. You can put it wherever you see fit. I don't understand this either. I have to listen to you in this regard."

Zhao Xiaotang finished speaking with a smile, folded the removed thick door curtain and put it aside.

Master Liu and the few people who came with him are all activists. After the two parties said hello, they started to work.

"Wow! Xiaotang, you're about to get angry."

Fu Bao circled the three wooden carts outside the door and then flew back and said, Zhao Xiaotang did not go outside because some things still needed her here. Zhao Xiaotang was also a little confused after hearing Fu Bao's words.

"How can I say I've made money when I spent money on decoration? Could it be that the materials are very valuable?"

"It's not valuable now, but it will be valuable in the future. The bricks and stones they give you are definitely from there. Some of them are even new and haven't been used yet. You have to know that there is an old saying, 'One piece of gold, one piece of brick.' That’s what it’s referring to.”

Fu Bao blinked and said. Zhao Xiaotang did not feel surprised when he heard this but frowned and said worriedly:

"Will this thing cause trouble?"

"If you lay it on the floor in your home, no one will know if you don't tell me. At worst, you can just take it out and donate it when you decorate it in the future. After all, you have protected them. If you don't use it, you can take these things." Soon after I return, they will be scattered in other people’s homes, and there will be two pieces here and there. Who will recognize them after a while? It won’t be wasted in the future.”

Fu Bao said nonchalantly. Zhao Xiaotang thought so after thinking about it, but when he looked at Master Liu and the others, their eyes were different. He thought they were just ordinary masons and other craftsmen, but it turned out that they all had a background. I can't get these,

Seeing Master Liu and the others holding only two batches of bricks at a time, he curiously picked up one and tried it. It was quite heavy. Zhao Xiaotang estimated that one piece weighed 50 kilograms.

"Hurry up and put it down. This one weighs 55 kilograms! Don't hurt you."

Sure enough, his guess was correct. Master Liu turned around and saw Zhao Xiaotang hugging the floor tiles and quickly stopped him. After all, in his opinion, Zhao Xiaotang was just a teenage girl. How could she be so energetic? It's not good if you hurt someone.

"Ha! I'm just curious. It's quite heavy. I didn't expect this brick to weigh more than 50 kilograms. Thank you for your hard work, masters. I'm going to boil some water for you to make some tea."

Zhao Xiaotang smiled sarcastically, patted the ashes on his palms, and ran out to see if the water had boiled?

It is relatively expensive to re-tile all the floors in the three rooms. In addition, all the windows need to be enlarged, so some bricks have to be knocked out. A utility room needs to be built in the open space on the other side, and one partition is divided into toilets and bathrooms. All in all, this is quite a lot of work.

During this period, the third uncle came over to take a look. Zhao Xiaotang also took out the certificate issued at the street office. The third uncle didn't say anything else after reading it.

The third uncle didn't say anything. The other neighbors naturally didn't say anything after seeing it. Instead, they all muttered together about how much it would cost in total. Words like being too prodigal,

Zhao Xiaotang ignored them all. From the next day, he just cooked a meal for a few chefs at noon and ignored the rest.

And I basically buy groceries every day. The neighbors passing by here after work come to watch the excitement. Are you curious to see what the decoration will look like?

They also asked how much the wages would be. After hearing the figure of several hundred yuan, no one continued the topic.

Zhao Xiaotang couldn't find steel bars or iron bars, so he settled for the next best thing and bought a large bundle of the thickest type of iron wire.

I still asked Master Liu to help twist four large iron nets, make them into protective fences, and fix them outside the window.

Zhao Xiaotang looked at it and thought it looked like that. The mesh was the size of an adult's finger. It was mainly due to Master Liu's skill that each one looked the same size. There was no big or small problem.

Zhao Xiaotang was happy when he saw it, and Master Liu also thought it was good. He was thinking about whether he should also make two windows to block his own windows like this.

Sometimes when I am working outside and there is no one at home, I always lose a nest or an egg or something. This way, I will never lose anything again.

Because Zhao Xiaotang made several temporary requests and increased the workload, it took two more days than originally planned.

Of course Zhao Xiaotang would not treat the other party badly and gave him an extra 20 yuan to express his gratitude.

Master Liu and the people who came with him were also very happy. Not only did they earn money from this order, but they also had good food. The main reason was that there would be a lot of buns left over from the buns Zhao Xiaotang made every day. He would let them take them away directly after work in the afternoon, although there were only Who wouldn’t like steamed buns that are meaty but oily and full of fillings? It can also be regarded as an invisible benefit.

So many places are done very carefully, and the materials used are the best within their capabilities.

"Xiaotang! It's finished now. It's really beautiful. Yesterday I heard you guys saying there was some kind of bathroom for going to the toilet. Let me take a look."

After the house was renovated, Zhao Xiaotang calculated the money to several workers and sent them out of the door, then turned around and came back.

The second aunt, the third aunt and several other neighbor aunts in the yard said with a smile at the door of her house,

"Shouldn't you just ignore me? Why are you still licking your face and talking to me with a smile?"

Zhao Xiaotang was thinking in his heart but did not express it on his face. He also smiled and said:

"Okay! I haven't cleaned the inside yet anyway! You can go in and take a look."

If the door is open, it will be right at the door. Other unreasonable people would have already walked in, so you can take a look if you want!

"Oh! Those who spent a lot of money are different. Just do what the master said. Just flush it with water and it will be clean. It won't stink in the summer, right?"

"Well! It definitely won't stink! If there was a stink, who would install this thing at home? I buried the pipe very deep so nothing else will be affected. This is very convenient for me as a girl. I won’t get up all night and run out alone in the middle of the night.”

Zhao Xiaotang explained to the aunts with a smile, and they nodded while listening. It was okay in summer, but it was really hard to go to the toilet in the dark in winter.

Moreover, the other party is a girl. It is really unsafe to run outside in the middle of the night.

What did the other party think? Zhao Xiaotang didn't care. They walked around the room and asked all the questions they wanted to ask before returning to the yard. Even if he didn't want to leave, Zhao Xiaotang had already picked up the broom and swept the ashes. Why didn't he just walk here and eat the ashes?

If it weren't for the nice weather today, they wouldn't even go out, so why would they come here to watch the fun?
