People rely on the aid money to live in the courtyard

Chapter 243
The trench was dug and the foundation laid on the first day.

However, it takes time for the cement to dry. Even if the weather has been relatively warm in the last two days, it will take at least three days before it can continue to dry.

However, the masons were not idle.

The inside of the house needs to be scraped and a fireplace needs to be built. They have never done this work before, so it is a bit slow to do it.

After this is finished, wooden floors will be laid in the two houses. The current wooden floors are all real wooden floors, and the upper layer is polished and waxed. I have not started construction in the past ten days because I was waiting for this.

There is also a flower bed built on both sides of the yard after entering the gate. The amount of work is not small.

In the evening of the next day, Yi Chuanzong's work also came. He needed to do simple carvings on a pile of white marble slabs.

This is a big job. This is used on the floor of the yard, and a layer of this is applied on the surface of the flower bed. He has to grind the corners into arcs, even on the fireplace.

He even bought two extra stones, one of which was used as a toilet. Lou Xiao'e can still jump now, and she will start to show her pregnancy in a few months. It is too uncomfortable and dangerous to squat to go to the toilet behind .

The rest is used to make a stone table. He plans to plant two pagoda trees on both sides of the main house in the yard, and then install a stone table under the tree. In summer, the couple will sit and drink under the tree. Tea, or having a meal is very interesting.

The idea is very good, but when it is completed, the time is tight. He only took two days off, and the stone came the next day and he couldn't do it on the day.

In a hurry, it took more than four hours from the evening to make the stone carving panels for the fireplace.

On the third day, he went to work. It was still the equipment that can restrain explosives. This task was difficult for thieves. It took several days just to design, and it was only a few days before he started working on the day of work.

With this burden, he couldn't go back early, so he could only go home after get off work and work overtime at night to work hard for his nest.

After another week, the house was finally decorated.

As for the two huge white marble stones at the door, there is no change from before, and Yi Chuanzong has no time to deal with these things.

Now, Yi Chuanzong is pulling Lou Xiaoe into the yard.

"Oh, what are you in such a hurry for? It's not like I haven't been there before."

"Come on, I'll show you. Clean it up now, it will definitely make a big difference for you."

Lou Xiao'e was reluctantly embraced by Yi Chuanzong and moved forward. She still had the scene of ruins in her mind.

She turned her head and said fiercely: "You demolished all the doors and windows before, how can you decorate them like that?" When she looked up and saw the two tall stones standing upright, she became even more angry, "And this Two pieces, so tall it's still weird."

Yi Chuanzong explained: "I haven't found time to carve yet? You should have seen the fireplace I carved, right? Isn't it beautiful?"

Lou Xiaoe curled her lips, "That's why you chatted with the two little girls from the Soviet Union in Lao Mo for more than 20 minutes? Those things can't be cooked, they just look good."

Yi Chuanzong couldn't argue, he was really just asking about the points of attention for the fireplace.

Moreover, although the fireplace has a word "stove", its main function is to keep warm, not to cook.

"You can't say that. I built a shelf and put it in it. It is very useful for roasting sweet potatoes and barbecue. After I light it, you will know how beautiful it is."

"Now I'll take you to see the new home. The few times you came here, it was under construction, and the floor tiles hadn't been paved yet. It didn't look very beautiful at all. Now when the masters left, they cleaned it and it looked absolutely different! "

After finishing speaking, Yi Chuanzong happily went to open the door, and Lou Xiaoe cheered up and looked inside. She was still looking forward to the new home.

The door opens.

At a glance, the inside of the yard is no longer blue-gray as before, nor does it look like the yellow-black soil turned upside down during the renovation.

At this time, the courtyard was completely white, with a huge lotus flower printed in the center, and clusters of snow-white lotus flowers, large or small, around it. It didn't look like a courtyard, but a pond.

In the distance, the original dark and gray doors and windows have been replaced with a complete set of mahogany doors and windows, which looks bright.

The two Chinese pagoda trees on the left and right of the main house grow in the circular tree platform. The green pagoda tree and the bright red doors and windows are full of vitality.

Yi Chuanzong said very proudly: "How about it, the wishful lotus in the middle is beautiful, right? Not only does it look good now, but also there is a clear light and shadow of the lotus under the moonlight. When it rains, it can store a little water, and the sense of hierarchy stronger."

Lou Xiaoe walked briskly into the yard, and when she turned her head, it was no longer the stone platform with exposed red bricks. The original stone platform was covered with a layer of smooth white marble, and on the side were carved stone sculptures with countless flowers. The edges are surrounded by quirky patterns.

The shape of the pattern is a square surrounded by four "Si" characters with different orientations, which looks a bit rotating.

"It's so beautiful, it's really completely different."

Turning her head, Lou Xiaoe's eyes were a little strange. The door on the southernmost building on the west side was clearly the door of their house before, and it was installed here. She pointed and asked, "Is there a toilet?"

Yi Chuanzong nodded, and said: "That's right, I strictly followed the previous design. At most, I considered the opinions of several masters, and adjusted the area a little."

The smile on Lou Xiao'e's face kept getting bigger and bigger. The yard looked very tidy after a new layer of floor tiles, and the carvings were also exceptionally beautiful. Even the original house looked brand new. The decoration effect fully met her expectations.

"When are you going to start working on the two big rocks at the outer door?" Lou Xiaoe said with some expectation.

Yi Chuanzong smiled wryly, "This is a big job. If I do it seriously, it will take more than a month to finish it, but I usually have to go to work, and I have to go to the hospital three days a week. Four to five months. I guess it won’t be finished, wait until the work in the factory is not busy, if I can skip work, I should be able to finish it in two months.”

Lou Xiao'e comforted her voice: "Then what are you in a hurry for? You are so tired. These days you are busy until twelve o'clock before going home to sleep. It is fine if you can make it today. If not, let's hire someone to do it. "

Yi Chuanzong quickly refused: "That's not okay, this is my job, how can I let others do it? I don't want to touch it even if the uncle wants to touch it."

Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and snickered, and stretched out her hand to slap his chest, "You just give the uncle a stone and let him play with it. You protected him so tightly, which made him depressed for many days."

Yi Chuanzong raised his eyebrows slightly, and let go, "That's fine, I'll use fertilizer to grind two beads for him in two days so that he can play with them when he's free. After all, he's over 45 years old, so old."

Lou Xiao'e snickered and asked, "When will we move here?"

Yi Chuanzong thought for a while and said, "Next month, stay there for another week, and then pick a date to move."

Lou Xiaoe nodded in agreement. Suddenly, she thought of the six people working here. Not only did they have to take care of a meal at noon, but they also had to pay them.

"Did you pay others for their wages and bricks and cement?"

Yi Chuanzong directly replied: "It's done. When I came back this afternoon, they just finished cleaning, so I just finished it for them. Master Hong is paid one yuan and five a day, and the rest of the masons are paid seven cents a day. The nine-day chief engineer is 45. The total cost of bricks, tiles and cement is 290 seven yuan."

Lou Xiao'e frowned and asked suspiciously: "The uncle didn't give you money, you didn't take money from me, and you didn't touch the little yellow croaker at home. Where did you get the money from?"

Yi Chuanzong glanced out of the courtyard, then ran to close the door before returning, he leaned into Lou Xiaoe's ear and whispered: "Isn't the book my father gave me a map of gold hidden? A few days ago, I went to dig one and buried it at home, and then sold two of them."

In fact, in the two days before Lou's father left, he took the time to go to those places to dig out the things. He was also afraid that the map was not accurate enough, and if he didn't dig it up, he would have fun.

Simply, the work of exploring the place was dug out. Anyway, it was just a matter of digging a hole after the past. It was all in front of the tree, and the left and right were only one and a half meters deep. It is very simple to find the right place .

A ton of gold is not much. If it is solid, it will be a square at most, and the height is about five centimeters thick.

Because Lou's father packed them in wooden boxes at the beginning, it seems that there are more, ten long wooden boxes with a height of [-] centimeters are piled up.

Now these things are placed in the portable space, occupying a cubic meter of space.

Lou Xiaoe asked carefully: "Where did you put it after you dug it?"

Yi Chuanzong replied softly: "It's next to the tree in the northwest."

Lou Xiaoe nodded slightly, she was still a little nervous.

Seeing her like this, Yi Chuanzong comforted her softly: "Don't think about it, I won't put the ones at home anymore, otherwise you will always feel uneasy, and I will find a chance to bury those under the tree in another place. "

"Actually, during that half a year, Lou San and the others took away a lot of them here and there. These are things that can't be taken away. If our dad starts to do business, it will only take a few years. Earn it."

Lou Xiao'e turned her head and gave him a big roll of her eyes. This person has no idea about money, and he has no greed for it. Otherwise, Lou's father would not be able to give him the money with confidence.

Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "You are hiding private money again."

Yi Chuanzong couldn't help laughing wryly. In fact, all he spent was the money he got from the system, and the little yellow croaker that sister Hua gave him back then.

Before the Chinese New Year, after he bought the watch, he had about 150 yuan left, and spent more than [-] yuan on the New Year's fireworks, eating, drinking, having fun, dating, and giving gifts.

It took two months to buy pigs for the villagers, and I received about 260 yuan in relief funds. I spent more than 100 yuan on snacks, listening to music, and drinking tea in two months, which is still [-] yuan. After buying the piglets, there are nearly one thousand and one left.

Now April 27, it is almost another month, but during this time his relief money has increased, and it has become about ten yuan a day.

It's three hundred a month, almost one thousand and fourteen. He doesn't spend much this month, and Sister Hua doesn't have to worry about buying too much. Qin Huairu only gave her four or fifty yuan in total, which leaves one Thousand three.

A lot of money was spent on the renovation this time. Two big stones at the entrance cost 390 yuan, and a long room on the west side cost 340 yuan.

The white marble floor at the back is also spent a lot, it looks like paving the ground, but it can't stand the large area.

Trees can be planted in his yard, and the total area is about 80 square meters. Now three rooms are more than 120 square meters, and there are [-] square meters of yards. Ten meters by ten meters is one hundred.

A floor tile is nearly four centimeters thick, which is nearly five cubic meters in simple calculations. One cubic meter of marble weighs 2.7 tons, which is twelve and a half tons.

Because it is not a big rock, the price is much cheaper.However, the processing is square, the surface is flat, and the thickness is uniform. He can directly engrave it after taking it, and the price will go up.

The asking price for a ton is 13 yuan, a total of 160 taels, plus the convoy of [-] people who set off in the dark at night, pushed the cart for more than [-] hours, and traveled more than [-] miles, and they had to go back.

This is another two days of work, similar to the last time, seventy cents per person is 56 yuan, and the salary of Master Zheng is higher, a total of 220 yuan.

The floor of the house is black walnut, and the wood is a delicate job. The slots between the two boards fit perfectly. There is no electric saw for processing. It took 93 to drive it out in ten days.Two doors and four windows were made in another house, because the price of mahogany is relatively expensive, and it cost 130 five.

The two small Chinese locust trees did not cost much. He asked someone to choose them in the suburbs and then planed them himself. They were just two boxes of cigarettes, which could be ignored.

The total settlement is 1000 or [-] yuan, that is, the yard cannot be sold, otherwise it will be worth more than the yard.

To put it bluntly, he had a total of 50 before, plus those miscellaneous things, the money on him did not exceed [-] yuan.

The price of gold has fallen now. He asked when he went for a walk last time. Now a gram of gold has fallen below 20 yuan. At most, he can sell it for 31 yuan a gram. A small yellow croaker is 62 grams, and it is only 1000 to 50 yuan in pure gold, but the small yellow croakers left by the old man are all ninety-nine-three.

Even if he really sold two small yellow croakers, his pocket money would not be enough to settle the bill.

Yi Chuanzong looked at Lou Xiao'e stretching out her little hand, and he felt somewhat chilly in his heart, so he could only say dryly, "I have no money."

"You have no money?"

Lou Xiaoe looked over suspiciously, clearly not believing what he said.

Seeing her like this, Yi Chuanzong quickly took it out of his arms. Fortunately, he kept an account of how much he spent, otherwise he would have to be caught blind now.

"Daughter-in-law, look, this cost so much... this cost so much... I can barely make it with my own pocket money. I really have no money now!"

Lou Xiao'e took the paper and pen and calculated silently for a while. After some calculations, she looked up at Yi Chuanzong, and vaguely saw the word "poor" on her face. It should be that she did not sell more small yellow croakers, but really only sold them. two.

She didn't find the little yellow croaker she hid when she packed her clothes these days, so the possibility of hiding her private money is very small now.

But before...

Lou Xiao'e calculated again, and then raised her head expressionlessly, "Last time you told me that the price of gold is twenty, and the money you sold for the small yellow croaker should not be enough, there is a difference of 20 yuan, where did you hide it before 20 yuan of private money?"

Yi Chuanzong's face is very exciting, his wife can settle accounts, is this excellent?

But it was agreed that she would be pregnant for three years, why would she not be affected?
Yi Chuanzong also put his hand into his pocket with a blank face, and then took out a thick wad of money from it, "11 yuan and eighty-six cents, this is all my belongings."

Lou Xiaoe took it without counting, and then stretched a small hand into Yi Chuanzong's arms and began to rummage through his pockets.

Yi Chuanzong looked up blankly at the blue sky and white clouds. He still has 33 cents in his portable space. When did he, Yi, be so poor?
Obviously, he was out of poverty within a month of coming here, and no matter how poor he was during the Chinese New Year, he still had more than 80 yuan.

After digging for a while, Lou Xiaoe slapped it over with a slap, her hand that just protruded from the pocket of her trousers was holding a quarter, "I'm not telling the truth! Isn't there still here?"

The corner of Yi Chuanzong's mouth twitched. It seemed that he had found change for breakfast the day before yesterday, and he put it in his pocket casually.

"Hey, take it, I'll keep an account of your pocket money for you, and tell me everything you buy."

Lou Xiao'e counted the money and handed it over.

Yi Chuanzong naturally reached out to take it. 11 yuan is also money. You can buy a lot of snacks, and you can go there more than ten times for drinking tea and listening to music. An extra dollar is also good.

"Don't touch the money for now. I don't feel at ease if I keep digging it up and putting it away. Let's spend all the money at home first, and then withdraw it if there is no money." Lou Xiaoe said worriedly.

Yi Chuanzong promised, "Okay, as long as you eat and drink well, you won't have anything to spend money on in the future."

Lou Xiao'e rolled his eyes at him, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, she was so sensible that she was too embarrassed to hit someone!

Snapped!
With a slap in the face, Lou Xiaoe said angrily, "You will coax me."
