Then there are the tiles that will be used, which cost about 20,000 yuan.
Qin Jianye plans to build a two-story house with five rooms upstairs and downstairs.
The extra space can be used to build a cellar or pave a yard, and then a high fence can be built to prevent people outside from seeing what is inside when they pass by the house.
This way, you can save a lot of tiles.
Moreover, standing on the second floor, you can see outside and discover any emergencies early.
After all, there is such a big secret at home, and we have to be careful at all times.
This is what Qin Jianye had just thought of. In military family quarters, soldiers with higher ranks are all equipped with two-story houses with their own entrances and exits.
The family building where Cheng Tuan lived was a two-story building. He had been there several times, so he remembered the structure quite clearly.
When he returned, he drew a blueprint and asked the bricklayer to build the house according to the design.
"A brick is 2.5 cents a piece, and a tile is 4 cents a piece. You bought 60,000 bricks and 20,000 tiles in total, which adds up to 2,300 yuan.
If you don't have a vehicle to transport it, we have a truck that can help deliver it, but it will cost an extra 30 yuan for shipping." The person in charge fiddled with an abacus.
"Thirty yuan is too expensive, isn't it? It's equivalent to a worker's monthly salary." Zhang Xiumei felt a little distressed when she heard that she had to spend so much extra money.
The person in charge looked up at the people in Lao Qin's family and said, "You have so many things, we have to transport them back and forth at least six or seven times, and load them onto the truck for you. The labor cost, the wear and tear of the truck, and the fuel consumption, which one doesn't cost money?
If you think it’s expensive, you can also rent someone else’s tractor to transport it. That’s cheaper, but it will take at least three days to transport it back to you.”
Old Mrs. Qin didn't say anything, but took out the money from her bosom. She counted out two thousand three hundred and thirty yuan and gave it to the person in charge.
I have already spent two thousand three to build a bigger house, so why would I be reluctant to spend thirty dollars?
After the person in charge counted the money, he immediately arranged for a large truck to come and load the goods.
This truck is quite old and looks very old, but it has a large body and can carry a lot of bricks.
There were many workers loading the truck, and it was soon full. Old Mrs. Qin and her two granddaughters were arranged to sit in the passenger seat and go back with the truck.
As for Old Man Qin and his son and daughter-in-law, they will wait for the next trip.
The truck drove back and forth in Zaojiazhuang all afternoon.
The villagers were very curious when they saw the blue bricks on the truck.
Who is so generous as to buy a whole truckload of bricks?
Until they followed the big truck and saw the truck parked in front of the gate of Old Qin's house, and then Old Mrs. Qin and her two granddaughters got out of the car.
You don't need to ask to know that the Qin family is going to build a house.
In the yard, Xie Yuwei was holding Qin Han and chatting with her sister-in-law. Hearing the noise, Xie Yuwei walked to the gate and opened it.
Then I saw a Dongfeng car parked outside, and my mother-in-law and two nieces had just got out of the car.
"Mom, why did you come back by car? Where are Dad and the others?" Xie Yuwei couldn't see the body of the car and didn't see the bricks on it.
Old Lady Qin said with a smile: "They are still at the brick factory. After the bricks are unloaded from the truck, the driver will have to go back to haul more bricks, and they will be criticized and take the bus back."
When Xie Yuwei heard that the truck was carrying bricks, she immediately walked behind the truck and saw countless blue bricks neatly arranged on the truck.
I was immediately excited: "The bricks were brought back so quickly, you guys are so efficient!"
Qin Han was also looking at the bricks on the car. When he thought that his room was built with these things, he couldn't help but feel excited.
With my uncle around, things are really efficient.
Speaking of building a house, the bricks were brought back today.
Soon, a lot of villagers gathered at the door of Lao Qin's house.
One of them, Wang Hongxia, who had a good relationship with Old Lady Qin, asked curiously, "Big sister, are you going to build a house? How many rooms do you plan to build?"
Everyone else pricked up their ears, wanting to know how many rooms the Qin family would build with so many people.
At least five or six rooms should be built, otherwise there would be no room for so many people.
But I never dreamed that the first people to build a house in Zaojiazhuang would be the Qin family.
They are obviously the poorest family, but they built a new house before anyone else. This is really going to change.
Old Lady Qin laughed and said loudly: "We have a large family, and if there are fewer rooms, there will definitely not be enough for us to live in.
Let’s build ten rooms first, and then add more when the children grow up and there are not enough rooms.”
Everyone gasped when they heard this. It would cost a lot of money to just build one or two brick and tile houses.
How much would those ten rooms cost?
They can't imagine?
Does the Qin family have so much money?
Old Lady Qin looked at the various expressions on everyone's faces and knew what they were thinking. She acted as if she had gotten something for nothing and said, "I can't help it. Who made our child so promising?
When the fourth and fifth brothers returned home this time, in addition to the allowances they had saved over the years, they also received a lot of bonuses!
They paid for the house we built.”
She spoke loudly on purpose so that everyone could hear her.
In this way, no one will suspect that the money they used to build the house came from unknown sources.
Looking at the smug expression on Old Lady Qin's face, the people present were envious, jealous and greedy.
But I don’t feel envious at all, because other people’s children are so promising.
He had just returned from the army and used money to build a house for his family. His filial piety surpassed that of many other children.
With Mrs. Qin's explanation, no one doubted whether the money came from an unknown source.
After all, the fourth and fifth brothers have been in the army for so many years and have done well, so it is not difficult for them to come up with money to build a house.
In the afternoon, the truck made six trips back and forth and finally brought back all the bricks.
As for the tiles, they need to be delivered tomorrow.
It was not until dark that the villagers returned home.
However, everyone in the village already knew that the Qin family was going to build ten large blue brick and tile houses.
For a time, the Qin family became the envy of everyone.
The next day, Old Man Qin invited many people from nearby villages who knew how to build houses, and Qin Jianguo was among them.
He couldn't afford the money, but he had plenty of strength, and he happened to know how to build a house, so he could save the family the money of a laborer.
…………
Time flies quickly, and it is June in a blink of an eye, and we have entered the real summer.
Everyone has changed into short-sleeved shirts.
Lao Qin's house is under construction in full swing. The first floor is still being built, and the second floor will be ready in another half a month.
Before we knew it, Qin Jianye and Qin Jiayi had been back for more than a month.
Over the past month, the injured in Lao Qin's family have undergone tremendous changes.
Now Qin Jiayi's legs have completely healed. Not only does he no longer need to use crutches, he can also run and jump like a normal person.
