Road to Rebirth

Chapter 103 New Home
When the new house was tidied up, Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei personally looked at it for a long time. According to Xiaoqing's requirements, the yard was paved with cement floor for the road in the middle and the walkway in the middle. Also planted two persimmon trees and jujube trees.

The entrance of the house on the first floor has two steps, all of which are made of concrete, flat and clean.

The walls in the house are all plastered, more than two times, the floors are all cement floors, and every room is exactly the same, except for the different layouts and sizes, they are basically the same.

The stairs from the first floor to the second floor are taken indoors, mainly for convenience. Anyway, it is a family, no matter what.

The most important thing is that a small cubicle was set up near the wall on the first floor of the yard. According to Xiaoqing's request, a bathroom was built here.

People in the village don’t have a bathroom at this time. Most of them get a wooden basin at home and use a little hot water to wash it casually. Only when it’s Chinese New Year, they will go to the bathhouse in Zhenshan to take a bath. .

Of course, this is also for wealthy families. If they are not wealthy, they still wash at home even if it has been a year.

Gu Xiaoqing specially made the bathroom for the hygiene of the family. After Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei came back from a busy day, her whole body smelled of dirt, greasy, and sweat. Just washing in a big basin was useless.

It would be nice to have a bathroom.

However, Feng Zhihai paid Feng Zhihai's favor for this bathroom. Feng Zhihai, the head contractor, also thought about it. In the future, if the Gu family's house is done so well, then people will be able to make a name for themselves by looking at it.

After that, there will be fewer people looking for their own houses to build.

So as soon as Gu Xiaoqing had this idea, Feng Zhihai boasted all over Haikou. Originally, the contractor had dealt with many people. First of all, he had many contacts in building materials and other aspects.

Now for Gu Xiaoqing's bathroom, Feng Zhihai bought a shower head and a set of equipment after entrusting someone to learn from those compound in the county.

After thinking about it for a few days, I made a simple soil water heater.

A homemade plastic bucket with two water pipes for hot and cold water.

One is connected to cold water, and the other end of the other is connected to a pipe.

The other end of this pipe is a small stove in the next-door kitchen. As long as the water is boiled here, the boiling water can leak in along this pipe.

Of course, there is a lot of pressure and other issues involved, otherwise Feng Zhihai would boast that Gu Ruhai's shower at home is good if he meets anyone.

Feng Zhihai spent a lot of effort on that.

This set of things is comparable to the water heaters of later generations.

But here is a set of local solutions.

This bathroom is a very advanced innovation.

After watching Feng Zhihai's process, Gu Xiaoqing was also very surprised. This uncle has a mind in the 80s, and he is not a farmer who has read a lot of books. This is based on his own description. Wouldn't Gu Xiaoqing be surprised that he made this thing out of a gourd painting?

This is really the power of the people is endless.

A set of earth heaters is installed in each room, which needs to be heated by a large stove in the kitchen.

These are also a lot of work.

Anyway, in a word, the house cost Gu Ruhai an extra 500 yuan just for these other expenses.

Thanks to Gu Ruhai's business has never stopped, otherwise he would really feel tight.

The new house is built.

All that's left is to move to a new home.

Moving in the countryside is also very particular. You have to choose a date, and you have to hold a feast to invite people in the village, relatives and friends to eat noodles, which can be regarded as warming the new house.

The day will definitely come down, and the preparations will begin here.

Li Xuemei has been busy with this for the past two days.

I bought a pig from Butcher Feng.

Feng Tuhu and Gu Ruhai's family have been cooperating for a long time, and they both know the basics. They sold a pig to Li Xuemei with an extra 20 yuan based on the cost price of the woolen pigs.

It's a half-sell, half-gift favor.

This can be regarded as giving Gu Ruhai a lot of face. Facing Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai, Feng Tuhu also said, "They are all from the same village of the folks in the village. We still don't see each other when we look up. We have cooperated for so long. Let's treat it as I gave you a housewarming gift for your new house. Don't be disgusted, brother, this is also a kind heart."

After saying this, Gu Ruhai was a thin-skinned person, and he was very polite. Finally, when Butcher Feng repeatedly said that if he didn't accept it like this, he would pull the pig back, Gu Ruhai finally accepted it.

The banquet for moving to a new house is fixed on April [-]th, which is a good day in the almanac, and it is advisable to move.

Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai are still farmers at heart, so it is inevitable to see auspicious days in this lunar calendar.

Gu Xiaoqing doesn't think it's superstitious, it's better to be somewhat taboo about this thing.

Anyway, my family doesn't really engage in feudal superstition, so it's nothing to look at the life, but it can make parents feel at ease, so why not do it.

Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying notified them from door to door.

Of course, both Mr. Gu and Gu Rushan also went there.

Both Mr. Gu and Gu Rushan happily agreed to come.

What's going on behind the scenes, no one knows.

On the afternoon of April [-]th, Li Xuemei and Gu Xiaoying bought fresh vegetables and various foods from Zhenshan.

All are needed for the next day.

The next day's masters didn't need to hire anyone, they were all from the same village, and someone had already come to help in advance.

The daughters-in-law of each family came to help, which is also the custom in the village.

The aunt of the old Zhang family has already come here.

He took his two daughters and helped Li Xuemei. Today, he made out the steamed buns for guests. This is a big project. There are quite a lot of people in the village.

You are the host, you only need to prepare more, and there is absolutely no shortage of food.

Therefore, the steamed buns were all steamed the first day.

Li Xuemei borrowed twenty large round tables, each of which can seat about ten people, and stools, all of which have to be done in advance.

There are also bowls, chopsticks, plates and various decorations.

Li Qinghai's family came back early to help.

Tomorrow the two will not do business.

Li Qinghai's family also came to help in advance, because even when it was dark in the afternoon, they did not see Gu Rushan and his wife. If they were counting on the help of the Gu family, they probably wouldn't even eat.

It's busy here.

The family has already prepared, melon seed candy balls and cigarettes and liquor.

Gu Ruhai also paid for it this time.

This once in a lifetime glory, Gu Ruhai couldn't give up.

Probably when I married my daughter-in-law, I couldn't live in such a decent way.
