Chapter 71: Renovating the House (I)



In the morning, everyone packed up the things in their rooms. What could be put into the cabinets was put into the cabinets, and what couldn't be put in was put neatly and orderly on the bed, and covered with blackout curtains. It didn't matter what, as long as it could cover things.

Those tiny and broken items can be squeezed directly into the corners and don't fall off. Anyway, you can sort them out slowly later.

In the yard, several temporary beds were built around the shed. They just needed to shelter from the wind and rain. They didn't need to be exquisite or perfect, and they didn't even need doors.

Just use boards to make a place to sleep.

We'll build a stove to make cooking easier. Once everything is done, we'll just wait for the bricks to be delivered in the afternoon and start construction tomorrow.

The next day, the construction team arrived early, led by the team leader, Zhou Changan.

"Brother He, hey, I haven't seen you for two days. I miss you so much." I miss your family's food. Hey, it's all the same home-cooked meals, but Old He's food tastes better. During the time I worked for Old He's family, I was so well fed that I put in so much effort that I actually gained five pounds...

"Changan, you're here. Haha, don't worry, you'll have to stay at my house for the next period of time, which is quite a while."

The two grown men hugged each other happily. As for who felt more pain, it depended on who was stronger.

"Okay, brothers, no more talking, let's get to work." Zhou Changan still remembered the purpose of his visit, so he called his brothers and started working.

The first thing to do is to carefully remove the tiles from the roof and put them aside.

Repairing a house is a big deal. Look, people in the village who have a good relationship with the He family have come to help, even if it’s just to give something.

In order to repair the house, He Luyi, under the cover of her father, used the "weeds" she first found in the space to weave more than 20 safety helmets.

Of course, it is impossible that she had woven it herself, but rather she asked her father to take it out and said that he found it in the mountains.

Then he transplanted it to his home and watered it with spiritual spring water. Soon he got a large number of such grasses. Then, he quietly mixed them in with the ones he had pulled out before.

There is no need to worry about the difference. After all, they are still green and cannot be told apart when mixed together.

At first, He Luyi didn't know what this grass was, until one day he suddenly asked the elf, "Master, this is the hardest and most powerful redbud grass in the other world."

"Redbud Grass, the shape and posture of this grass have nothing to do with its name. Why is it called this name?"

"I'm not sure about this, but it's a good material for refining weapons. But it's useless here." The elf was a little disappointed.

He Luyi saw the elf's listless look and comforted him, "It's okay. Who says it won't be useful? You never know when it might come in handy."

Who would have thought that what he said would come true.

Well, it is indeed useful. If it is made into a safety helmet, it will give you a sense of security.

So, a few days before the house was repaired, I was busy making safety helmets.

Anyway, as long as it can be fastened tightly on the head and not fall off, for this purpose, the heads of the three brothers of the He family were used for demonstration and adjustments were made many times.

After making the finished product and becoming more familiar and proficient in it, we can tailor it to each person's head shape.

There are 12 people in the He family, young and old, and each of them has a hat. The appearance is different according to each person's preferences. For example, He Luyi's hat is so green.

Feeling that the green itself was not enough, they went to find greener plants to embed in it.

He Feng's pure green hat, Donghua put a yellow flower on the hat.

The beauty-loving He Li tied a pink ribbon.

In short, each has its own characteristics.

The safety helmet was clearly knitted to protect the head when repairing a house, but the He family used it in a different way.

There was also He Genyuan's family of six who came to help. In addition to the packed meals, they also received this safety helmet.

Not only is it very breathable, it is also smash-proof. Such good things are rare. He Genyuan and his family also know the value of it and don't think there is anything wrong with it.

I was helping out voluntarily, without asking for anything in return, and I could get a safety helmet in return, which was a big deal.

The village chief's son and the party secretary's two younger sons also came to help and received the same treatment.

As for the construction team, they are professional and have been prepared long ago, so the He family doesn't need to worry about it.

There is strength in numbers. In just one morning, all the tiles of the entire bungalow were removed, and then they prepared to set up the scaffolding and start building the second floor on the foundation.

Regarding the construction of the second floor, Zhou Changan communicated with Lao Hetou and decided on the internal structure.

"Uncle, what do you want the second floor to look like?"

"Well, I want two sleeping rooms, a main room like the first floor, a study, and a warehouse, that's all."

"Then do you think this is feasible? The two bedrooms are located at either end, one on the left and one on the right. The staircase from the first floor to the second floor leads to the main room in the middle. The warehouse and study are on the left and right, respectively, and they share a wall with the bedrooms..."

Zhou Chang'an described the approximate location. Old He listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and asked questions carefully when he encountered something he didn't understand. After some communication, both parties were satisfied.

After being busy for a while, it was already noon. Everyone's meals were ready on the open-air stove. Regardless of their appearance, everyone sat on the ground, squatted, or leaned against the wall. Each person held a big bowl, as big as their head, and ate quickly and deliciously with chopsticks.

After dinner, Donghua, He Ersao, and Old Lady He, who were in charge of cleaning up, cleaned up first, and the others started to work. Some carried bricks, some worked on the roof, and some helped. Everyone did their job and was busy all the time.

The ding-dang-dang sound was so loud that it could be heard from far away.

From the first day, everyone was full of enthusiasm and worked enthusiastically, chatting and laughing occasionally, but spending more time concentrating on their own work. Some dug sand, some mixed cement, and even added straw from Lao He's family. In short, they used a combination of traditional and modern methods.

It not only keeps the house warm but also makes it stronger and earthquake-resistant.

When building a house, once all the preparations are done, the construction will naturally proceed much faster.

He Luyi was just a little kid who could do nothing. She just stood there and watched everyone busying themselves. As long as she didn't cause any more trouble, it was fine.

Oh, this is the view of some workers, and they really don’t understand why a little kid is not temporarily left at a relative’s house and brought back when the house is almost repaired.

Faced with such questions, the He family smiled and said nothing, reality will prove everything.
