Chapter 234 How about building a new house?
"Just saying it makes me feel sad and bitter!"
"Tangtang from the Lin family is really amazing. She helped her sister-in-law and cousin get jobs, and now she's also helped the boys in the team get jobs..."
"I've long noticed that the Lin family's daughter is extraordinary. You see it, right?"
…
The second branch of the Lin family and the Guo family became the focus of gossip in the team. Lin Tang was suggesting to his family about building a new house.
It suffered a Waterloo at the start.
The family is unwilling!!!
Li Xiuli objected, "Why build a house? Our yard is fine, there's no need to build one."
Lin Lu also holds the same opinion.
"Your mother is right. Our house is fine. Building another one would be a waste of money."
However, the three Lin Qingshan brothers felt that the house they lived in now was shabby and it would be a perfect idea to build a new one.
If everyone contributes a little, it's not a big problem.
Lin Qingshan guessed that his sister was not acting without purpose and might have other considerations.
"Tangtang, do you have any ideas?"
Lin Tang thought to himself that the one who understands me is my elder brother.
"The brigade will soon have electricity, so let's build a new house before it comes online."
"Build that kind of brick house, make the yard into a gravel path, make it clean, and everyone will feel comfortable living there."
"The house will have to be rebuilt sooner or later. I think it's better to do it sooner rather than later. If we wait until the electricity is connected and then tear it down and rebuild it, it will cause more trouble."
The most important thing is that she wants to create a good living environment for her parents.
Life is nothing more than eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping.
A good home makes people happy.
The whole family thought what she said made sense.
Li Xiuli thought for a long time and looked at Lin Lu, "How about we build it?"
I want to contradict myself as soon as I say it.
What are you building? If you build it, your family fortune will be gone.
What's more, she would even have to spend the little dowry money she had saved for her daughter.
Lin Lu didn't know that Li Xiuli regretted what she said right after she finished speaking. He took a sip of the tea made by his daughter and made the decision.
“…Then build it!”
Tangtang was right in thinking this.
There are many people earning money in the family, so it is enough to just save some.
As the eldest in the family, Lin Qingshan was the first to speak: "How many rooms do we want to build? What's the budget?"
Lin Lu put down the cup, thought for a moment, and said, "There are many people in my family, so let's build five rooms first!
Goudan and the others are still young, so there is no need to think about so much for now.
I don’t know if they’ll be willing to stay at home when they grow up.”
He calculated the cost in his mind, "Five blue brick houses will cost at least over three hundred, no less."
He felt bad when talking about money.
I feel sad but also happy at the same time.
A brick house. He never thought that he could build a brick house at home.
Lin Tang thought the money was not much, so he raised his hand and said, "Dad, since we're building it, let's pave the yard with gravel. It will be clean even on rainy days."
When it rains on the country roads, not only your feet but even your calves will be covered in mud.
Lin Lu naturally wouldn't say no to this request, "Okay, make a gravel road in the yard too."
As for the vegetable garden, just surround it in a circle.
Lin Tang thought of the bellows still in use in the kitchen, so he suggested, "Dad, let's improve the kitchen too. Put up a suction stove with a chimney connected to the kang. Then, when we cook in winter, we can burn the kang at the same time. It's convenient and saves firewood."
With a suction stove, you can keep it clean without having to pull the bellows.
When Lin Lu heard a new term, he immediately didn't understand it.
Not afraid of her daughter laughing at her, she asked directly, "What is a suction stove?"
Lin Tang gestured a few times with his hands, but found that it seemed to be of no use.
He withdrew his hand and tried to describe it.
"It looks similar to the stove we use at home, but there's no need to pull the bellows. The fire is lit by wind, which is not only convenient but also saves firewood."
When Li Xiuli heard this, she thought it was great.
"It sounds like a good idea when you say that. Can you do it, girl? I don't think anyone in our village can do it."
This was the first time she heard of a suction stove. Every household in the village used a bellows.
Lin Tang returned to his room, took out a pen and paper, and drew out the structure of the suction stove in just a few strokes.
"Dad, Mom, look, the stove faces east, and there's a chimney that goes up to the roof. The smoke just goes out with a whoosh. The place in the middle where the pot is placed is for the firewood, and there's a small hole at the bottom..."
She drew a diagram of the overall structure, and then a diagram of the actual scene.
It really looks very different.
Lin Lu understood, "Tangtang's drawing is very clear, and there's no need to use a bellows, which is really convenient."
"As I said, being educated makes all the difference." Li Xiuli sighed. "To build a brick house, we need to order bricks, right? Boss, what do you want to do?"
Lin Lu thought for a moment and said, "Didn't the brigade order a batch of bricks before? Just ask Big Brother to help order a batch."
If you do it yourself, it will be troublesome and expensive.
It’s different if we use the name of the brigade.
You have to pay anyway, and you don't take advantage of the team, so there is nothing wrong with doing it this way.
Li Xiuli hesitated, "You said it would be implemented, but... I'm afraid of causing trouble for Big Brother."
For cadres, any slight stain on them will be magnified infinitely.
Besides, her family has been under the watchful eyes of the police.
Lin Tang interrupted, "We paid for it and we're not taking advantage of the team. We should issue invoices when necessary. The team won't find anything to complain about."
Seeing that his daughter was so smart, Lin Lu's face, which had gained some weight compared to before, was full of smiles.
He glanced at Li Xiuli, shook his head and smiled: "...You are already old, but you are not as steady as a young girl. What are you afraid of? Let's do things according to the rules. There is no need to panic at all."
His wife just loves to daydream.
Li Xiuli was choked and glared at Lin Lu. You can keep silent at this time.
Once they mentioned building a house, the Lin family took action immediately.
Lin Tang and the others went to work as they should, and followed the car as they should.
The homestead remained unchanged, but the original mud house had to be demolished and rebuilt, so the Lin family first moved to an empty house in the village.
Lin Lu found some strong men in the village to demolish the house, and it was almost completely demolished in just one week.
All usable building materials were kept, and the useless wood was chopped up and used as firewood.
In mid-June, a truck delivering bricks arrived at Shuangshan Brigade.
The car was full of bricks.
The red bricks are neatly placed together, which is very eye-catching.
It was at this time that the villagers learned that the second branch of the Lin family was actually going to build... a brick house!!!
A group of people even forgot to go to work and stood at the door of the Lin family watching.
"With so many bricks, how many brick houses does the Lin family plan to build?"
"The Lin family can live in a brick house so quickly. I'm so envious."
"I wonder if the Lin family is still looking for help to build their house. The food at the Lin family is pretty good. I heard that even the ordinary stir-fried dishes have a meaty flavor. I want to go and help too."
In the village, the house-building work is done by you helping me and me helping you. I provide meals and remember to be grateful. I also pay, but not much.
The food provided by the Lin family is a bit oily, but everyone who has eaten it thinks it is delicious.
"If I had known the Lin family's food was so good, I would have come a long time ago."
It was all his short-sighted wife's fault. She said that Lin Er's wife was stingy and would definitely not be willing to spend money on good things, so she refused to let him come.
"I heard Qingshan's family is planning to build five brick houses!" The man gasped in shock. "Five houses? How much will that cost?"
“No matter how much money they spend, it’s earned by their children.
I'm not jealous either. I do what I can, and being down-to-earth is the most important thing!"

【Off topic:
I have been isolated in the company for five days.
At around three in the morning, I was transported to a new talent apartment.
There's no bed, no cabinets, no curtains... It's a little better than a bare-bones apartment. It's hard to imagine this is in a big city...
Honored to upgrade to a removable activated carbon, human respiratory purifier.
Next, you will have to continue to be quarantined for 7 days.
But at least there is a quiet environment!!
Updates will resume starting today.
I have received the care of my babies, and my heart is warm.
Well, the kind that wraps itself in a big cotton-padded jacket and holds a hot pack in the winter...
The encounters are full of joy; when the heart meets the warm sun, the ice suddenly melts.
Love you~~
Everyone, please take good care of yourself~]
