The director said that the houses built by other units would not have doors and windows, and Li Xu and others had already expected this.
With the supply and marketing cooperative setting the example, how could the units building houses later not follow suit?
The director had been feeling a bit embarrassed just now, but now he wasn't embarrassed at all. "I don't know if they feel embarrassed, but I'm definitely embarrassed. Although I didn't install doors or windows for you, the walls of the house were all covered with cement. Calculate carefully, how much did that cost?"
"Five dollars at most." Master Wang sneered.
"I think three at most."
"What's the big deal about smearing cement on the wall? If you have the guts, smear it on the ground."
Everyone was talking and pushing him, but the director acted as if he didn't hear anything and his expression didn't change at all.
After everyone finished speaking, the director spoke up, "When you've finished speaking, come and choose a room. Once you've chosen, leave quickly."
Seeing that she didn't respond, Li Xu and others didn't know how to continue talking and could only walk to the desk.
The director took out a folded piece of paper from the drawer under his desk and handed it over. "This paper records the layout of the houses. Please take a look and choose which one."
Master Qi spread the paper out on the table, and everyone craned their necks to take a look.
The members of the motorcade had looked at the houses many times when transporting materials to the construction site, so they had already made plans in their minds. Now that they got the house layout from the supply and marketing cooperative, they quickly chose the house they liked.
To be honest, there is not much choice in these houses.
Each style of house looks exactly the same, and the only thing everyone can choose is the location of the house.
After everyone had made their choice, the director took a pen and wrote their names on the corresponding houses on a piece of paper, and then started to chase them away.
When they returned to the car team, the first thing everyone did was to take out their water bottles and start drinking.
The water in the kettle was herbal tea, prepared the night before.
After drinking it, Li Xu felt that the hot feeling in his heart was relieved a little.
After putting away the kettle and sitting on the small stool, he heard Su Weidong ask, "Old Li, are you planning to ask Carpenter Yang to make the doors and windows?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"I want to ask him to do it, too." Su Weidong grinned. "I was thinking that if you ask him to measure the house, I won't have to go all the way there. I can just wait at the new house and we can measure it together."
Li Xu thought for a moment and said, "I'll take Master Yang over tonight at 7 o'clock. If you want him to do it, go to the new house and wait for us."
It's summer now, the days are long, and it's still light at 7pm, so there's no problem measuring the size.
Li Xu and Su Weidong's houses only look the same, but there are definitely differences in the details.
For example, the gaps reserved for doors and windows will vary somewhat.
If you want to make suitable doors and windows, you must measure the dimensions one by one. You can't just measure one and ignore the others.
Su Weidong felt that this timing was very appropriate and immediately nodded in agreement.
Someone was also tempted by this, but there was a problem. "Xiao Li, I also want to ask that carpenter Yang to do it, but I'm worried that he will refuse the order like before because he feels that he doesn't have enough time."
A few months ago, Li Xu told the other members of the car team that he knew a relatively reliable carpenter, and if they had any need for furniture, they could tell him.
Later, Su Weidong and two masters found Li Xu and asked him to help introduce this carpenter.
After bringing the people there, Master Yang learned that all three of them wanted to see the furniture when the new house was completed. He decisively said that there was not enough time and he could only take Su Weidong's order.
Because Su Weidong has relatively few pieces of furniture to make.
These two masters knew some carpenters, but that was just acquaintance.
To say that I'm familiar with it is not the case.
Nowadays, for most people, if there is an opportunity to make money, they will first consider people they are familiar with, and then people they are familiar with among their relatives and friends.
Outsiders will only be considered when these people cannot make money.
So the two masters wanted to give their orders to the carpenter that Li Xu was familiar with.
After checking out the furniture that carpenter Lao Yang made for Li Xu, the two were impressed by the exquisite craftsmanship.
But there is really no way, Lao Yang really doesn't have time.
Also, because the people in the supply and marketing cooperative were looking for carpenters to make furniture at that time, and the reliable carpenters had all received orders and were also unable to spare the time, the two men had no choice but to decide to buy furniture from the sawmill.
Some people may ask, why can't the furniture wait for a while, why must it be prepared when the house is built?
This is because people don’t have the patience to wait and want to move into their spacious new homes as soon as possible.
Nowadays, most families have more than ten or twenty people. What kind of living conditions are there with so many people crammed into one yard? With a new house, who would want to suffer in the old house?
The lumber mill sells furniture, but not doors and windows.
Therefore, the two masters once again thought of Lao Yang, who had superb craftsmanship.
They were worried about being rejected, but Su Weidong was not worried.
Because Lao Yang was making furniture for him, it was impossible for him to refuse him no matter what.
Li Xu pondered for a moment, then said, "How about this? I'll ask you tonight. If Master Yang is willing to take the job, I'll take you to him tomorrow at noon and have him measure the dimensions of your house."
"Okay, Xiao Li, thank you for your help."
"It's no big deal, it's just a side job."
At this time, Master Song interrupted, "Xiao Li, please ask this for me too."
"good."
In this way, everyone chatted all day in the hot environment.
In the evening, the Li family had no appetite and only ate very little.
