Chapter 197 Building a House
At that time, it cost two thousand yuan to buy a three-room house made half of brick and half of mud in the countryside.
If you build it yourself, about one thousand yuan will be enough for this type.
If there is someone in the family who is skilled in masonry and carpentry, it will save even more money.
You can make the yellow mud yourself, but you have to buy the red bricks. As for the wood, this place is close to the mountains, so although you are not allowed to cut down trees indiscriminately, you can still get the wood for building a house.
The rest is labor. If there are many relatives in the family, as long as you provide them with enough food, labor basically doesn’t cost anything. For a house like this, a few hundred yuan will be enough if calculated as above.
However, building the kind of villa that Shen Qianfei mentioned would require more than that much money.
But Luo Feng and Luo Haowen already had more than 10,000 yuan in their hands.
Adding what Shen Qianfei gave, they could actually build two two-story villas.
There is no need for three floors here.
First, heating in winter is a problem, and second, there is currently no running water, so it is more convenient than living in a bungalow.
Because even if you are building a villa, you still have to dig a well in the yard.
Including the Li family, there is also a sweet water well in the yard, but the equipment for drawing water is very advanced.
The residential land belonging to Luo Yufen is just to the east of the old house, with two two-story houses built side by side.
Shen Qianfei asked Li Xianzhi to help her find the design of the house. It is spacious, bright and warm. It was designed for the northern climate and should at least keep it warm in winter and cool in summer.
As there is currently no central heating, a small boiler will be installed.
This small boiler was given to Luo Haowen.
Gu Cui meant that there was no need to build two houses this year. Even if conditions permitted, there were not enough people at home to take care of them. In her opinion, a house should be occupied. If no one lived in it and there was no homely atmosphere, the house would fall into disrepair very quickly.
Just like the old house of the Li family, when the Li family left, it became the brigade headquarters. Later, after the brigade headquarters moved out, the Li family also sent people to maintain it.
In other words, such a big house is always occupied and taken care of by someone.
But the Luo family is different now than before. In the past, three generations of the family lived in a small thatched house, so the house became the top priority.
But now Luo Luo is going to No. 1 Middle School, Fei Fei is going to Kyoto University, and Luo Haowen almost lives and eats in the factory. Even if he marries Ye Man, they will not return to Yuanbao Village to live.
Including Luo Yufen, there are only three people in the family.
All of a sudden, the family started to decline, and they also wanted to build two villas, so Gu Cui always felt that it was inappropriate and didn't quite agree with it.
She also said that this is different from the south, where you don’t need to burn firewood to keep warm even if you don’t live in the house all year round. But it’s different here. If you don’t heat the house in winter, the house will be frozen.
What Gu Cui said actually makes a lot of sense.
However, this place is going to be developed in the future. If she doesn't build a house on the residential land to the east of her house now, even if she gets compensation during the future planning, it will be very little.
Besides, they have to come back to live during the winter and summer vacations. Who says that you have to live in a house for 365 days a lifetime? But there are some things that Shen Qianfei is not suitable to say.
Although she has a lot of say at home, Shen Qianfei discovered that Luo Luo is actually more popular than her.
She talked a lot there, and then Gu Cui thought what her little granddaughter said made a lot of sense, so she readily agreed.
Now the Luo family members all live in the west wing.
Although it is shabby, it is clean and it is summer now, so it is convenient to live in.
Lolo now goes to the mountains with her friends every day to look for thorny roses. She plans to plant such bushes around her villa, which can not only prevent thieves but also look beautiful.
The little girl was very energetic and sometimes she would pick a lot of fruits from the mountains for Shen Qianfei to eat.
No matter when, as long as the money is in place, the house can be built very quickly.
A week before Shen Qianfei started school, two two-story villas had already been built. It was now popular to lay floor tiles at home.
However, Shen Qianfei thought it would be better to lay the floor.
Then the first floor is paved with floor tiles, and the second floor is paved with wood.
The floor at this time is made of pure solid wood.
The lumber factory that Shen Qianfei and Luo Feng went to decided that the floor would not be painted red or any other colors, but would remain its natural color with a layer of clear oil on top.
Both sisters' rooms are covered with wallpaper.
The bed, wardrobe, desk, bookcase, sofa and other furniture were all ordered from the lumber factory.
Because there is ready-made wood, the paint used after completion is all green and environmentally friendly paint produced by the Li Group.
After these two houses were built, they caused a sensation in Yuanbao Village.
Most of the villagers looked at him with envy.
Some wealthy families think that the house is well built.
Although it is a building, there are two kangs on the first floor.
The kang and its edges are made of special fireproof boards.
It looks completely different from the big earthen kangs in other houses in the village.
There is also a row of cabinets in the kitchen. Although there is also a large iron pot, it looks elegant because there are two layers of cabinets.
The rooms are all equipped with heating, and the plumber was hired from the city.
The heater is painted with silver powder and hung cleanly on the wall. After the water is connected, once it is turned on, the heater will be warm in a short while, so you won't suffer in this winter.
Some people said something sarcastic, saying that Luo Feng's job as a street sweeper was not enough, he would have to be a boiler operator in the future. And this boiler operator wouldn't just be for one house, he would have to be a boiler operator for two houses.
Luo Feng didn't take it seriously after hearing it.
Now the house where Mr. Lu lives has been bought by him. He did not build any villa. After all, the style of hard work and simplicity is engraved in his bones. He thinks it is good as it is now. Then, together with the Luo family building a house, he renovated his house. He renovated the kang, chimney, floor and roof tiles. He and his old friend live in the east room and the west room respectively. There is no heating in the house as the two old men think it is unnecessary.
No matter what, their home is still in Kyoto.
During the Chinese New Year, if they are willing to go through the trouble, they will go back to celebrate the New Year.
But Mr. Lu said that Lu Qing and Lu Wei should come here for the New Year this year.
Although Kyoto is a prosperous place, the flavor of the New Year is still stronger in the north city.
Almost from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the atmosphere was full of the New Year atmosphere. Therefore, Mr. Luo did not care about it anymore, because he also felt that it was indeed troublesome to burn the boiler alone.
But no matter what, the house that Shen Qianfei wanted has been built. Although she only lived there for two days before taking the train to Kyoto, she was very happy.
She was not unfamiliar with Kyoto, of course, this familiarity refers to her previous life.
