The construction team is composed of young and strong men who are not very taboo about ghosts. What is there to be afraid of when they are together? For the sake of money, they dare to go even to the gates of hell.

The next day, the magic circle in the yard had been weakened by Jiang Yanxu. Except that the temperature was a little lower than outside after entering, no major abnormalities were found.

After get off work, He Ruixue went to invite the people from the engineering team. Their team leader's surname was Bai, and he was known as Master Bai. He was a very famous bricklayer in the neighborhood and worked in the railway construction department.

Occasionally, I take on some private decoration work for others. This is similar to a chef taking on banquets privately. When asked, I just say I am helping a friend. It does not violate the rules.

The two of them walked around several houses. The yard was a simplified quadrangle with three main rooms in the north, and two side rooms connected to it on the left and right. There was also a small cellar underground behind the main room for storing winter vegetables.

There are three side rooms on each side of the east and west. At the entrance of the south gate stands a screen wall with a picture of eight treasures carved on it, which symbolizes good luck, happiness and longevity.

The total area of ​​the yard is about 350 square meters, and the habitable area of ​​the house is close to 180 square meters. After measuring the basic data, He Ruixue began to talk about her requirements.

In fact, there won't be any major renovations because it's too eye-catching. We'll just raise the courtyard wall, patch it with cement, and surround it with broken glass shards. We'll remove the broken tiles on the roof and replace them with new ones. We'll remove the old windows and frames and replace them with glass windows, and then weed the yard... that'll be about it.

The east wing is the kitchen, and the west wing is the toilet. He Ruixue did not change the original layout, but asked Master Bai to rebuild the stove and add a smaller stove. After all, it was difficult for her to use a large stove for cooking.

As for the toilet, which is the highlight of the renovation, He Ruixue proposed to use ceramic water pipes to rebuild the sewer.

Flush toilets existed in this era, but she had no intention of installing one. The next best option was to install a ceramic squat toilet, which also had a flushing function, but required manual filling of the water tank above. Although it was a bit more cumbersome, it was much more hygienic than the original one.

In addition, she plans to lay tiles on the bathroom floor and install faucets in it and the kitchen, both made of porcelain and iron, which will definitely cost a lot of money.

But Master Bai was still a professional. Although the item was rare, it was not impossible to obtain. He calculated it on paper, thought for a while and said, "Xiao He, do you want to do just the work or everything?"

"It's all included."

"Okay, I've calculated everything. Everything else is fine. The glass windows, water pipes, and tiles will cost a total of 98 yuan. We can finish it for you within seven days. Is that okay with you?

Also, I don't have a matching faucet, and your department store also sells hardware, so you'll have to find one yourself."

"Okay, leave it to me."

He Ruixue counted out fifty yuan and handed it to him, "This is the deposit. I'm leaving this house to you."

Even she was so happy, Master Bai was also happy, patting his chest loudly, "Just wait and see, our craft has been passed down for three generations, and no one in this area who asks me for help has ever complained."

Suddenly, a few workers who were pulling weeds in the yard started to commotion. "Master Bai, it's bad! Xiao Zhao has fainted!"

"Oh, I told you this yard is unlucky. Run! You won't be able to get out soon!"

"Are they still in there, Master Bai? Can they still hear us? Something has happened, right? Why don't you go and take a look?"

"Why don't you go?"

Master Bai walked out with his hands behind his back, glaring and scolding, "You panicked over such a small thing? I think he's fine. Maybe he fainted from hunger. Okay, carry him out first."

He was full of aura and intimidated those people at once. If He Ruixue had not seen his hands behind his back trembling slightly, she would have believed that he was really not afraid.

Several people hurriedly carried the fainted young comrade out of the yard. Strangely, he woke up on his own as soon as he walked out the door.

Even Master Bai was shocked. He looked back at the yard and thought it was indeed weird. However, seeing that he was alive and well, he thought that nothing serious would happen.

Besides, the deposit has been paid, and in this business, going back on one's word is the worst taboo. It's only ten days, just bear with it and it will be over.

He Ruixue saw them off and walked to the location Jiang Yanxu mentioned. She pressed the brick inward, and a secret compartment popped out. Inside was a land deed, and next to it was a house transfer certificate written by him. As long as she took these things to the housing management office to change the household owner's information, the house would become hers.

There's no rush, the money hasn't been paid yet.

Modification of the house must be registered with the street office, especially when the water pipes need to be touched. He Ruixue found Zhou Hui.

After explaining the situation, the other party hesitated whether to persuade her. After all, she was also one of those who experienced the haunted incident that year. But when she heard that the money had been paid and the decoration master had been found long ago, she didn't say much.

He smiled and said, "Congratulations. I heard that your family has had a lot of good things recently. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law have both been promoted, and you are even more promising. You have been promoted twice, and the neighborhood has also benefited from it. Someone once asked me in a meeting if we have a talented girl here."

"What's my ability worth?"

"You're still young and have a bright future ahead of you. I've heard a lot of people say they want to introduce you to someone. How about that? Have you ever considered your personal situation? There aren't many talented and motivated young people like you, so you should act early."

He Ruixue smiled awkwardly and said, "My mother is very strict with me. She has to select people before letting me meet them."

"That's right. Your mother loves you like the apple of her eye. She doesn't trust the people introduced by others, and she doesn't like ordinary people. I really don't know what kind of person she will find for you in the end."

While they were chatting, Zhou Hui had already registered her and gave her a note stating that the modification of the house had been approved by the street office. He Ruixue thanked her again.
