Chapter 37
Su Yu didn't say anything on the way back. Su Laoer couldn't stand the look of his daughter, so he had to think about pipes. Had he seen them before? But after thinking about pipes, he didn't expect that he was so anxious that he sweated on his forehead.

On a rainy day, no one came to the town, so the village's oxcart was occupied by the father and daughter. Seeing the two of them acting like this, the old man who drove the cart, Mr. Yu, did not dare to speak for fear of offending the two of them.

When Su Yu got home, he went back to the house and closed the door without saying hello to Mrs. Lian.

"Boss, what's wrong with the fish?"

"I went shopping in town today and didn't get anything. I'm not in a good mood."

"What do fish want to buy but can't buy?"

"I can't figure it out either. It seems to be a tube like a wheat straw, and it's also transparent."

Transparent tube, why haven't I seen it before?Lian knew that the straw was empty, and the person in charge said that the tube was similar to the straw, but it was a bit difficult to make it transparent.

At dinner time in the evening, Mrs. Lian went to call, and Su Yu came out of the room, looking worried.

"Daughter, we don't think about it anymore. Maybe there is no such thing as the control you mentioned."

"Yes, but I haven't found it yet."

Su Yu said affirmatively.

"Okay, but even if we have this land and don't have that, we can't buy it."

No, Su Yu sighed again.

"Why don't you try oil paper? I remember that oil paper is transparent. If you roll it up, it becomes a tube."

After hearing his mother's words, Su Yu slapped his thigh fiercely, grinning in pain from the excessive force.

"You kid, you don't think it's a big deal."

"It's okay, mother, you have helped me a lot, I'm so happy."

As Su Yu said this, he excitedly stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Lian's neck to act coquettishly. This admiration made Su Lao Er jealous. There was something wrong with her daughter growing up, and having him as her father.

Su Yu: Who is not a baby yet? What’s wrong with her being 30 years old?

When she was walking on the street today, she saw someone selling oil paper in a grocery store. How could she not have thought of it? Thinking of this, Su Yu patted her head in annoyance.

Su Yu was happy, and his family was also happy, except for Su Sheng, who always had a cold attitude at home.

The next day, father and daughter went to the town again and bought the oil paper that Su Yu had longed for.When I got home, Su Yu cut a small piece with scissors and rolled it up, and glued it firmly with fish glue bought in a grocery store.

With everything ready, Su Yu planned to experiment, and brought two bowls, poured cold water into one bowl, and poured hot water into the other bowl.Pour eight-tenths of water into the porcelain bottle, sprinkle some red paint in the water, insert a tube made of oiled paper into the center, and block it with cloth strips.

Then it was time to witness the miracle. Putting the porcelain bottle into a bowl of cold water did not respond, and then put the porcelain bottle into a bowl of hot water. Seeing that there was no response, Su Yu's eyes were almost rounded.No, can't it?Just when I was about to give up, the red in the middle tube slowly rose.

"It's done!"

Su Yu jumped up happily, it was so good.

By the time Su Yu finished his experiment, the rain had stopped, and the sun was rare to see.Su Laoer hurriedly went to the village to call for people. Who should he look for when it rains ahead? How many people should he look for? Which company should he go to to buy the soil foundation? They gathered next to the Su family's yard, fearing that it would rain again that day. Su Laoer was not stingy in finding people. He directly found [-] good workers and bought three trucks with soil foundations to push them over on a pallet truck. .

A group of people started working in full swing. Basically every house in the village built a house with a soil foundation. Every year when there was nothing to do in the farm break, some people would build a soil foundation and save it, so that they can use it when they want to build a house. .

The principle of the soil foundation is also very simple. For a simple rectangular wooden frame, mix the mud and straw and mix it evenly. Put it in the wooden frame and compact it. When the wooden frame is lifted up, the soil foundation is ready. It has just been made. A good soil foundation cannot be exposed to the sun and can only be dried slowly in the shade. Although it is simple, it is time-consuming. The Su family was too late to make it, so they had to buy it from the villagers.

The other one is the wood on the roof, so there is no need to worry about this. The Su family is at the foot of the mountain. Seven or eight strong men went up the mountain with knives in their hands. down the mountain.The mud house built by the Su family was not big, so they didn't need much wood. Seven or eight people made two trips, and they managed to get the wood together.

The remaining people dug the foundation for building a house at Su's house. Digging the foundation was a laborious task. It took more than a dozen people to dig the foundation for a whole day.

The Su family's place is really too narrow. When Su Laoer was recruiting people, he agreed that each person would be provided with 25 cents per day without food. The price was very fair, and the people who came to work were all from the village. It would not be a hassle to go home for lunch. .

When building the house, Su Yu begged his grandfather and grandma all day long, begging God not to rain, and he didn't know when it would rain again.

The house is simple and fast to build. It was completed in three to five days. Then there was the fire wall. It was really difficult for an inexperienced person to build the fire wall. Xingyang Mansion is at the junction of the north and the south. People living here are from the north. According to customs, there are also people in the south who build fire walls, but not many people build them.

Su Lao Er found out that there was a master in the neighboring village who built a fire wall very well. He went to ask someone to build a fire wall. There was not much work to do in the rainy season. The master readily agreed and came to Su's house the next day. Build a wall of fire at home.

Su Yu had heard about it before but never seen it. Out of curiosity, he even took a look at it. The principle of the fire wall was quite simple. Leave a palm's width in the middle of the two rows of bricks, lay two layers of bricks and then put the top one on top. Seal it, leaving an opening on one side, then build two layers of roofing, and leave an exit on the other side. An S-shaped passage is formed between the two walls. A chimney is built at the top where it connects to the roof, and a stove is built next to the wall. When the fire is burning, the hot air generates heat in the wall, and the final smoke goes out through the chimney.

You can't use soil foundation to build the wall, so Su Laoer went to the nearby brick factory to get some, and worked hard for seven or eight days, and finally the house was built.

When the Su family was recruiting people to build a house, they only said they wanted to build a house, not what they were going to do. The villagers always thought that the Su family wanted to live alone. After all, they didn't pay much attention to which house they built in the village. They had to save enough soil foundation. During the off-season, another room is built next to the house. Over time, it becomes a small courtyard. Few families build a courtyard at once, mainly because they have no money.

After a few days, the Su family was not seen moving in, so the villager who wanted to do something bad couldn't help but ask.

"Second brother, your house has been under construction for several days. Why don't you move in?"

"Uncle, this is not for living. The weather will turn cold after the autumn harvest. You also know that I am in the business of chicken and ducklings. Those little things are the most resistant to freezing. My house is built for chickens and ducks. The seedlings are ready."

"What!"

The villagers were all shocked. The Su family's brains must have gone crazy. They didn't know what the house they lived in was like. The good house they lived in was given to those little beasts, but the house they lived in was in tatters.

Second Su doesn't care what other people think, he just says so when someone asks him.
