This kind of case is what Li Xuewu is eager to handle now. The more credit he has, the more amulets he has, the more important events he is involved in, and the greater the power he can use.

When the storm comes, you must make others fear your strength, and you must convince others and offer benefits in exchange.

At noon, the bell for the end of get off work in the workshop rang again. Li Xuewu went to the cafeteria to have lunch, tidied up, told Corey, and went home.

Today is the day scheduled with Master Dou for handing over the house. I have been busy these two days and have not bothered to check the progress of the house in the backyard. I have no time to deal with the project in the west courtyard.

Fortunately, my parents and family are all in the courtyard, my brothers are all at home, and my eldest grandma is in charge, so I don't have to worry about the family.

I rode my car into the west courtyard and parked my car. I saw Master Dou leading people to build a wall for the North Warehouse. The North Warehouse was ready to be built. The foundations of other houses were also laid. All that was left was to build a house.

The simple warehouse is even simpler, and it seems that the project is progressing smoothly.

Seeing Li Xuewu enter the courtyard, Master Dou greeted the workers and came to Li Xuewu's side.

"Chief Li, the backyard has been tidied up. Let's take a look?"

Li Xuewu offered a cigarette to Master Dou and said, "I've been so busy with work lately that I haven't even been able to take care of my family. Thank you for your hard work."

Master Dou took the cigarette and lit it for Li Xuewu, saying: "Hey, if you keep me so busy, I will be happy."

Li Xuewu took Master Dou to the backyard and said, "Don't worry, I will come to you for any projects I can get in the future."

"Then the relationship has improved. I can see that you are a capable person. I, my team of bricklayers who have no unit, will ask you to take care of me."

Li Xuewu didn't expect Master Dou to say this, so he replied: "You're welcome, as long as I can do it for you, we will be friends after this job is over."

Master Dou was very happy and said, "Then I'm not welcome."

The two of them walked into the backyard talking and laughing. On the way, they saw Mrs. Jia Zhang collecting cabbages at the door. Seeing Li Xuewu come in, Mrs. Jia Zhang turned around in a panic.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention. When he entered the backyard and saw his new house, it looked a little different.

The steps at the door have been renovated and replaced, the pillars and windows have been repainted, and there are no curtains on the door, so the double-door door looks new.

"Some of the wood was no longer good, and some of the window frames were rotten, so I remade the entire set of window frames and door frames, using a pattern of eight equal parts. Although the single pane of glass in the window was smaller, the style was beautiful and the lighting was good.

More than enough”

After hearing Master Dou's introduction, Li Xuewu saw that the windows in his home were slightly different from those in other people's homes. The style was more novel, and the glass was new and very bright.

"The outer walls have been re-grooved to ensure there is no air leakage," Master Dou said, patting the wall of the house.

Li Xuewu didn't notice that the current room

The houses are all made of bricks and mud. In some places, if the construction is not tight, air leakage may occur, so the gaps need to be hooked with cement, but most of them are made of mud mixed with crushed straw.

Li Xuewu opened the door and saw an entrance hall. On the left hand side was a chest-height shoe cabinet, and in the front was a vertical coat cabinet, with a hollow platform for storing miscellaneous items in the middle.

On the right side is the Z-shaped entrance. Because there is a window in the entrance to the east, there is plenty of light.

Li Xuewu looked at the roof, and Master Dou followed behind and introduced: "As per your request, the supports are made of wooden slats, puttyed and painted."

When Li Xuewu saw the white ceiling, he thought that since the house did not face north and south, there would be insufficient light in the morning and afternoon, so the white roof would be brighter.

Li Xuewu entered the room and saw that it was empty. On the right was the dining room, to the north was the kitchen, and to the west was the bathroom.

I walked into the bathroom and took a look. The entire bathroom was covered with ceramic tiles. There was a bathtub made of cement in the end, which was also covered with ceramic tiles. Next to it was a toilet and a sink that was also made of cement and covered with ceramic tiles.

.

Because there are no finished ceramic products, we can only build them with cement and then lay them with ceramic tiles. These ceramic tiles were obtained by Lao Biaozi from Director Ma.

Li Xuewu tried the flush switch on the toilet, which was actually a modified water pipe.

After I got out of the door, I went to the kitchen and took a look. Facing due north, there was a single-blocked countertop. Under the window to the east was a countertop with a sink. To the west were two stoves separated from the countertop. To the west, there were two stoves.

Above the stove is a heating stove that supplies hot water for heating and hot water for bathtubs.

When I returned to the living room, I saw a fireplace built on the wall near the south room, and the flue was through the south room's fire pit.

Li Xuewu went to the south room and took a look, but it was also empty. There was a big window on the east side, and the fire kang had been burned out. After comparison, it was no problem to accommodate four people.

"You said you would make the furniture yourself, but I didn't build it for you," Master Dou explained after seeing Li Xuewu finish reading.

This was what Li Xuewu had told him before. He wanted to go shopping for furniture to see if there was any suitable wood. The new furniture smelled of paint and was uncomfortable to live in.

"It's very good, especially the floor tiles. They're really good. Where did you get them?"

Master Dou smiled and said: "Your brother helped to buy it. I don't know where it is, but it looks like the floor tiles used in the palace in the past."

"These bastards" Li Xuewu also looked a bit like, and he was a little afraid that something would go wrong.

Master Dou said nonchalantly: "It's okay. The palaces outside were almost demolished earlier, so the city is better preserved. There are beams and pillars used in palaces on the market. Your floor tiles count."

what"

Li Xuewu saw that the smooth and neat floor tiles were dark gold, not too eye-catching, and it was the kindness of his brothers, so he said nothing more, said a few words to Master Dou and went out.

To say that this house is good, the tiles, bath, stove, windows, and fireplace are all good, but if you want to say what is good, look at the house with old bricks and old tiles, and the same paint.

White walls, incandescent lamps with lampshades, earthen fire beds, and earthen stoves are nothing.

This is what Li Xuewu wants. They are all the same in appearance, but the most important thing is that living in the house is comfortable.

We still have to buy furniture and soft furnishings here. There are no dining tables or anything else, including quilts and kang mats. We have to go to the market to see what we need to buy.

When Li Xuewu went out, he saw that the chickens at his door were gone. When Li Xuewu stared, Master Dou said: "Looking for chickens, right? It's in Beifangshan. Your grandpa said he built a chicken rack next to the chimney."

Li Xuewu walked to the north and saw a chicken rack built with bricks at the base of the chimney. Two chickens were shut in. When Li Xuewu came over, they were still squawking.

I went to the back with Master Dou to get a ruler, measured the dimensions of the room, and got a rough idea, then hitched up the carriage and went out.

I got the bill from Wen San'er, but when I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, I didn't see Lin Tingting. Li Xuewu lined up at the cloth counter and asked for 20 feet of blue cotton and 15 pounds of cotton. This was for making new quilts and

Change the kang to be used.

I went to the grocery counter and ordered a bunch of pots and pans, a set of oil, salt, soy and vinegar condiments, firewood and rice noodles. I also ordered 3 thermos bottles, an enamel basin, two enamel jars, and four pairs of foam.

Shoe soles, 1 broom, 1 shovel, 1 kang mat, 1 set of ceramic teacups and teapot, and a flashlight.

As the old saying goes, a broken home is worth a thousand dollars. Just buying such a bunch of things cost more than 30 yuan, which is as much as Li Xuewu's monthly salary.

Although I have a sewing machine at home, I have to use it morning and night, so I went directly to the large goods counter to buy a sewing machine, Phoenix brand, for 150 yuan, and also bought a set of needlework.

Li Xuewu came back this afternoon in a hurry. He had to get some sleep because he had other things to do in the evening. He bought whatever he thought of and slowly added things to his new house.

Li Xuewu had just asked the master at the door to help him carry the sewing machine into the car. Lin Tingting came out of the backyard and saw Li Xuewu outside the door. She walked out amidst the jokes of several elder sisters.

"Why did you buy a sewing machine?"

When Li Xuewu saw Lin Tingting coming out, he smiled and said, "I'm going to give it to you."

As she spoke, the rope in her hand continued to tie up the sewing machine. Lin Tingting saw a pile of pots and pans piled beside Li Xuewu's carriage, so she walked over to help load the carriage.

"You moved out and lived on your own?"

Maybe Lin Tingting asked after seeing that Li Xuewu bought only daily necessities.

Li Xuewu took the kang mat from Lin Tingting's hand, put it on the carriage board, and responded: "I bought another house in the backyard of my compound. I just renovated it. Isn't this buying daily necessities?"

When she heard that Li Xuewu had come out alone, although Lin Tingting's expression did not change, she was still a little happy and kept helping Li Xue arm the car.

"Is there anything else you need to buy? I'll help you find it."

Seeing the positive Lin Tingting, Li Xuewu said with a smile: "I have all the basics, and I can buy the rest whenever I need them. Besides, I have to wait until we get married to buy them together."

When she heard Li Xuewu talking about getting married, Lin Tingting blushed a little, hit Li Xuewu with her fist, and asked Li Xuewu's home address.

When Li Xuewu saw Lin Tingting asking for her address, he invited her: "I usually get off work at 6 o'clock and arrive home at about 6:30. I usually don't go out on Sundays. If you have time, come to my house to see me. I am the one in the front room and the west courtyard at the door.

Yes, I will take you to see the new house then."

Lin Tingting was no longer shy now. She blinked her eyes, tugged her hair around her ears and said, "Let's talk about it, I don't have time here either."

After loading the last thing into the car, Li Xuewu looked at Lin Tingting, who was not wearing much, and said, "Go inside quickly. I'll send the things home and pack them quickly. I have to go back to the factory for duty in the evening."

Lin Tingting said to Li Xuewu who was leading the horse to turn around: "Be careful on the road. Don't ride if you don't have enough sleep."

Li Xuewu agreed and gave a whip whistle, and the big green horse started to walk home.

Lin Tingting didn't enter the house until Li Xuewu had gone far.

"What? Is this settled? Are you ready to buy things for the wedding?"

"What's the matter? It's just for his home," Lin Tingting replied when she saw the eldest lady cashier at the door joking.

The eldest sister said with an expression of disbelief: "Don't fool me, there are kang mats, pots and pans, and a sewing machine. I don't believe that the young man bought it for himself."

Lin Tingting couldn't stand the cashier lady, so she couldn't help but smile.

The elder sister at the counter here said again: "What kind of family does that young man come from? Bikes, watches, and sewing machines. I buy three of them in a month. Tingting has found a good family."

At first, the eldest sisters were just teasing the two of them, but they didn't expect that the two of them actually got together.

Although Lin Tingting was shy at the moment, she still said with some pride: "It's not that he comes from a good family, but his father is a doctor, his brother and sister-in-law are university teachers, and he is still a small section chief."

Lin Tingting had an indifferent expression, but her words were full of pride.

The eldest lady at the counter said "tsk tsk": "This is not a good family. A few days ago I saw him leading a few young men to buy things for a new house. Why is this happening again?"
