This means that there is only a few days to make doors and windows, and the carpenters cannot produce many even if they work non-stop.
At that time, there will still be some people who need to go to the countryside to find carpenters.
Fu Qing changed his mind because he didn't want to become one of them.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Li Xu naturally nodded in agreement.
Everyone chatted for a long time before Fu Qing said goodbye and left.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was Li Xu's moving day.
Not only the Li family took leave on this day, but also the Du family, Li Qiang, Sun Yizhui and others.
With so many people helping, Li Xu didn't even need to call a cart if he didn't need to move furniture. He could just let them take some of the clothes and other items.
When the group arrived at Li Xu's new house, their eyes lit up.
As we all know, the feeling a house gives people is completely different depending on whether it has doors and windows or not.
Just like the house in front of him, before the doors and windows were installed, even though Li Xu knew it was built with high-quality materials, he didn't think it was that good.
If it was rainy or dark, he might even think the house looked a little creepy.
Now that it has doors and windows, Li Xu feels that this house is indeed built with good materials and is worth the high price.
Although the others only saw the gate and had not yet entered the yard, they also had the same idea and thought that this house was worth a lot of money.
After Li Xu opened the gate and everyone went in and saw the brand new doors and bright windows, they became more convinced of this idea.
Especially people like Li Qiang who have booked a house, they suddenly become excited when they think that they will be able to live in such a nice house in the future.
The new furniture was put in yesterday, and all kinds of daily necessities are also ready, but the house inside and out needs to be cleaned up.
Without saying much, everyone put away the things in their hands and started cleaning the house.
Li Xu took Fu Qing to the market. He planned to buy some vegetables and entertain everyone in the new house at noon.
It is said that there is strength in numbers. With the efforts of so many people, the house was cleaned up in no time.
While making lunch, Li Qiang and his friends went to pick up his wife and children.
The supply and marketing cooperative was built on the edge of the county town. It took quite a while to walk from here to the residence of Li Qiang and others. In comparison, it was much faster to walk from the Li family's old house to them.
Every family has several children, and there are more than ten children in the Li family's old house. It is not an easy task to bring these children here.
Besides, Li Xu and his wife have no plans to cook in their new home and will still eat at their old house.
So no matter how you look at it, this lunch should be arranged at the Li family's old house.
Li Xu originally thought so, but others strongly opposed it.
Because there is a custom in Tang County of burning the bottom of the pot.
That is to say, when moving into a new house, friends and relatives will go to congratulate on the same day and the host family will arrange a meal.
Therefore, others would rather go through some trouble and let Li Xu follow the custom.
Of course Li Xu knew this custom, as Li Mei had done the same when she moved to her new home.
However, he felt that this time when building the house, even the custom of setting off explosives during the groundbreaking ceremony was not followed, so he could also not follow the custom of burning the bottom of the pot. Everything should be based on convenience.
In response, others said that it was none of his business if others did not follow the customs, and he had to follow them.
Li Xu couldn't resist them and had to agree.
There was only one table in the main room, which was not enough space for seating, so Li Xu asked someone to move several desks and coffee tables from the bedroom out to the yard to serve as a dining table.
Now there's enough room to sit.
After lunch, everyone dispersed and Li Xu took Fu Qing to find Lao Yang.
After hearing about the furniture Fu Qing was going to make, not only Lao Yang, but even Li Xu was shocked.
After paying the full amount and confirming it again, Lao Yang reported the deposit amount without thinking.
Li Xu then mentioned a few pieces of furniture that needed to be repaired, and then he and Fu Qing walked towards their home together.
As they walked along the road, Li Xu asked the question in his heart, "Old Fu, building a house and making so much furniture, do you have that much money?"
Fu Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Who are you looking down on? Do I look like someone who is short of money?"
"Come on, forget it. I can't say I can guess exactly how much money you have in your pocket, but at least I can give you a pretty good guess. If that's enough money, I'll eat the table."
Li Xu knew exactly how much Fu Qing had to pay to his family every month since he started working, when the contribution ratio changed, and the large expenses.
From this it is not difficult to calculate the approximate amount of money he has.
At this point, Fu Qing felt embarrassed to continue pretending and could only tell the truth, "My parents told me this morning that they would pay for the furniture."
"Didn't they say to keep the furniture purchase price under a certain limit?"
"No."
Li Xu's mouth twitched. "You son of a bitch, you're really willing to do this. If your parents don't admit it, I'll see what you can do."
"That's what they said themselves. I didn't force them to say it. Why don't they admit it?"
"Why? Don't you know how much the furniture cost?"
"I know the number. It's the same as what you spent."
The cost is of course the same, because the furniture that needs to be paid for is the same one that will go into Li Xu's new house.
That's why Li Xu and Lao Yang seemed so surprised before.
Li Xu's expression was extremely complicated. After a moment of silence, he patted Fu Qing on the shoulder and earnestly warned him, "Old Fu, remember, if you get beaten up when you go back, you must not be stubborn. You must admit your mistakes quickly. The more sincere your attitude, the better."
