She followed Ling Xiao to the town and withdrew 10,000 yuan. To be safe, she put it into the space as soon as she left the post office.
Meng Qidi found Ling Xiao at the carpenter's place and went over to see the two of them looking at furniture drawings.
The blueprints included a dressing table, a wardrobe, a TV cabinet, a wooden box, a desk, and so on. When Ling Xiao saw her coming, he smiled and said, "You want to choose?"
Meng Qidi glanced at them and said, "Let's take them all. I'll make everything for mom as well. Make a desk for Xiao Chengzi and a few more beds."
Ling Xiao was slightly stunned, "Is the money enough?"
"Let's talk about it after we order it. Oh, Master Yang, there are also waterwheels and doors and windows, the kind you see in a courtyard house."
Meng Qidi took out the previous manuscript paper and said, "Master Yang, please take a look. How many doors and windows do I need for this manuscript paper?"
Her manuscript paper includes floor plans, floor plans, and even the designs of each room. It can be said that the drawings are extremely detailed.
Master Yang was a little surprised when he saw the draft. "Is this a courtyard house? No, there aren't many doors. Your drawing is quite good, but the doors and windows can only be measured after your house is built. Make the furniture first, and then I'll come to your house to measure the doors and windows."
"Excuse me, Master Yang. By the way, how much is the deposit?"
Master Yang handed her the draft and said calmly, "Give me the money for the wood first, and we can settle the bill together when the furniture is finished."
After leaving the carpenter's house, the two went to the brick factory. Ling Xiao was still sitting in the wheelchair. Although it would not be a problem for him to walk a few steps while standing, Meng Qidi was afraid that the work would be wasted and did not let him walk.
Originally Ling Xiao planned to order bricks and cement on credit, but he didn't expect Meng Qidi to be generous and give him a deposit directly...
We ordered five truckloads of bricks, and went to the next door to order nearly twenty bags of cement and dozens of cement boards. We could go to the river in front of the door to get river sand.
Since they were planning to build a house, Meng Qidi certainly didn't do it casually. When the two of them came back from the town, she had spent most of the 10,000 yuan she had taken out.
In an era when eggs cost five cents each and wages were only thirty yuan, five thousand yuan was a lot of money...
Watching her pay without blinking, Ling Xiao couldn't figure out where she earned so much money...
However, she didn't say anything, and he didn't ask. He didn't make as much money as her, so he was embarrassed to ask...
When building a house, a bricklayer will lay the foundation, but the bridge must be built first.
The bridge was not built yet, so the bricks were dragged over, mostly by Meng Qidi using a cart to drag them to the other side.
The old house was demolished and preparations were being made to lay the foundation.
After discussing with the master for a long time and determining the location of the foundation, Meng Qidi went to the village to buy some useless door panels.
"Xiao Qi, why are you buying door panels?" Ling Jinyue asked curiously while pushing the cart.
The sky cleared up these few days, and the weather started to get hotter and hotter. There was a brief thunderstorm in the afternoon, and the two of them pushed the template and hurried back.
"Build a bridge." Meng Qidi pulled the cart.
She moved the bridge made of cement slabs upwards. She planned to build a cement bridge at the original location of the bridge. Of course, the bridge piles on both sides were also very important and had to be laid with cement.
She still had some cement and steel bars in her space, and she planned to build the bridge formwork and then directly pour the cement and steel bars in.
It was easy to take out the cement. Apart from Ling Xiao, few people knew how much cement she bought. She covered it with oil paper.
It just so happened that Ling Xiao was not at home recently. He went to the city to get the final treatment for his leg, so no one knew about her smearing and pouring cement.
However, river sand is a bit troublesome as it is too far away, and the river sand that we hire people to dig is used to lay the foundation.
After dragging back three carts of wooden planks, Meng Qidi simply dug sand from the stream. Digging the stream deeper could also prevent flooding.
Of course, she dug the creek dams of the original bridge. The two places could be dug to erect bridge piers, killing two birds with one stone.
When there were people around, she would just drag the water to the shore with a bucket, and when there was no one around, she would just use space transport...
In two days, he became darker and thinner. Wang Jinhua felt sorry for him but there was nothing she could do. She could do nothing but try to help him gain weight back.
Five days later, Meng Qidi dug the sand and carefully filtered out the fine sand, and began to make the formwork. The foundation of the house was also poured, and they were just waiting for the cement to dry before starting to build the house.
Nowadays, most bricks and tiles are green bricks, and they don’t need to be whitened after being laid.
As soon as the formwork was completed, Meng Qidi tied the steel bars that night and prepared to mix cement and pour it in, for fear that the night would bring more trouble.
When their family was building a house, many people came to watch. Her method of building a bridge did not exist in those days and was only invented in later times.
She was busy until dawn and finally managed to build the bridge. Fortunately, she was very strong and had the help of Yuquan water, and the stream was not wide to begin with.
She can't do anything without any of them.
To prevent someone from stepping on it, she covered it with extra wooden boards and then got a bunch of bamboo branches from the bamboo forest.
The bridge railings will be built after the house is built. Just in time, the water truck will also need cement, so we built it together.
Ling Xiao had only been in the city for half a month when he came back. The foundation of the house had been laid and even the bridge had been built by his wife. It was impossible not to be surprised.
Meng Qidi was extremely tired these days and she slept for almost a whole day and night before opening her eyes.
After eating something, I took Xiaochengzi to the west of the village, where there were a lot of people gathered at the bridge.
Meng Qidi's heart skipped a beat and she walked over quickly. Would anyone notice that she had buried steel bars in the bridge?
However, she was able to explain clearly that concrete slabs have steel bars, so she was inspired and it made sense to put steel bars on the bridge deck. There are many smart people these days.
However, as soon as he got closer, he heard a familiar voice talking in the crowd, and it seemed to be talking to Ling Xiao.
"Comrade Ling, you really need to consider what I'm saying. This bridge can't be made of cement alone. It needs steel bars. Otherwise, it will be washed away the next time there's a flood."
Picking up the steel bars, Meng Qidi looked at the boastful woman in the crowd with some surprise, a trace of confusion in her eyes.
