Chapter 1695: Thriving 1
There is no need to make adobe bricks. Once the cement, sand and red bricks are in place and the foundation is laid, the house can be built.
Because Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue have been away for a long time and cannot come back in a short time, building two new houses at the same time would be too conspicuous, so Lu's father temporarily changed his mind and only built houses for Guan Cheng brothers. He announced to the public that Guan Cheng became a mechanical manufacturing engineer in the capital and his salary increased, so he wanted to build a house in his hometown to make it convenient for him to live in his hometown when he returns home in the future.
The Lu family has a large number of elderly people and children. The son of Lu Tianjun, the oldest in the fourth generation, is almost two years old, and the three mud-brick houses are not enough for all of them. Everyone used to discuss why the Lu family hasn't built a new house even though they have three daughters-in-law.
The important thing is that they have a natural awe for Guan Cheng who has worked in the capital for many years. It means that they can have face when they go out to talk about it, right? When the elders and villagers have some spare money at home, in addition to troubling Feng Qingxue, they will also trouble Guan Yu to send letters and money to Guan Cheng when they marry their daughters and daughters, asking him to help get some rare materials they need. This is also the light they have benefited from, and they should remember the favor.
The Lu family has been cultivating its popularity for more than ten years.
So, when they heard that the Lu family was building a new house and it was not very busy as it was just the beginning of spring, men, women, young and old came to help.
The format Jin Ruochu designed for them was four main rooms to facilitate the addition of an upper building in the future, with three side rooms on the east and west sides each.
Ten thousand bricks and thousands of tiles refer to three brick and tile houses.

Those who have money contribute money, those who have strength contribute strength, people like Lu Tianzhi can't contribute money, who told him he has no money? Even Guan Yu's salary is just enough for the couple and Grandma Zhou to live.
Thirty thousand bricks are needed for the four main rooms. The side rooms cannot be higher than the main rooms, and it would not look beautiful if built as a bungalow. So the design changed it to a brick and tile house, which required a total of twenty thousand bricks and two thousand tiles.
Excluding the cost of materials and housing land, there is very little money to spend on other aspects.
Taking into account the kitchen, toilet, courtyard wall and gatehouse, Lu's father ordered 60,000 bricks at one time. He originally wanted to buy blue bricks, which have a dense texture and are more expensive. Unfortunately, he couldn't buy them, so he had to settle for the next best thing.
There is strength in numbers, and the tree topped out in less than half a month.
The 1,500 yuan that Guancheng gave to Guanyu was a little bit not enough. Cement, sand, tiles, floor slabs, wooden beams, doors and windows all required money. Even if the folks said they didn't want any wages, they had to pay. In addition, they had already spent 200 yuan to buy the homestead. So before Lu's father paid, Zhou Zhou decisively sold a gold bar.
The day of roof completion, which means putting up the floor slabs and roof beams, is just one step away from completion.
The best red bricks cost 2.8 cents each, so 60,000 bricks would cost 1,680 yuan.
The Lu family is united and no one cares about money.
The floor and the beams are wrapped with a little bit of inconspicuous red cloth. This is an old custom and people dare not show it openly, so they can only make the red cloth smaller and thinner into strips that ordinary people cannot notice.
Father Lu used Cheng Baoguo and his wife's supply book to go to the city in advance and bought a large amount of hard candy wrapped in candy paper. Worried that it was not enough, he asked Shen Feihong to borrow a few pounds of candy coupons from the neighbors. He stuffed the hard candy with two pounds of White Rabbit milk candy that did not require candy coupons and Miao Fengqin's fried peanuts in shells. When the floor and roof beams were in place, the candy peanuts were scattered from the roof and were snatched by women and children.
Although the grown men were too embarrassed to stand still, staring at the floor and roof beams, there were some strong laborers who reached out and grabbed a few pieces of candy from the air and passed them to their children.
When the roof of the house is completed, the children are the happiest.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
