When it comes to building a house, the educated youths are very excited and want to start immediately without giving it much thought.

A broken home is worth a thousand dollars. Although the thatched house is leaking from wind and rain, it is more spacious and free. The office is not afraid of wind and rain, but it is an office after all, and daily life is inconvenient.

Seeing everyone so excited, Tao Nanfeng chose to remain silent.

Qiao Yadong, on the other hand, glanced at Tao Nanfeng and saw that she pursed her lips and lowered her head, looking thoughtful, and asked, "Tao Nanfeng, what's wrong?"

Tao Nanfeng raised his head: "I'm worried about winter."

Her voice was unique and melodious, like a ray of cool breeze on a hot summer day, and the educated youths who had been so happy just now suddenly woke up.

"Yes, Tao Nanfeng's concerns are justified."

"Thatched houses are quick to build, but they don't block the wind at all. Wouldn't they freeze to death in the winter?"

"What should we do if it's windy and rainy again? Should we repair it after it falls down?"

Suddenly, the office became noisy again.

When Luo Xuan heard these words, he glared at Tao Nanfeng angrily: "What do you know, little girl? Thatched houses are the fastest to build, so it's important to settle them first. In winter, just keep yourself warm. You can chop the firewood all over the mountain.

.”

Huang Xingwu, who had been silent until now, also snorted: "This is a mountain, and the conditions in your big cities are not as good as those in your big cities. The harsh environment can sharpen a person's will the most. A charming lady like you should have to endure some hardships to know that farmers

The hard work of farming.”

This sounds a little familiar.

Step-sister Tao You criticized Tao Nanfeng in school for being a bourgeois young lady who could not bear hardships or be tired and should receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants.

Tao Nanfeng's eyes turned dim and he said no more.

But others stopped doing it.

Li Huilan retorted: "Who said Tao Nanfeng is Miss Jiao? Last night she packed up the belongings of the four of us and carried them over by herself. How can such a capable and enthusiastic comrade be so coquettish?"

Being driven to the office to sleep on the table in the middle of the night, Ye Qin was already very angry. When Huang Xingwu criticized Tao Nanfeng, he immediately became unhappy. He curled his lips and let out a cold snort from his nose.

"You can stand and talk without backache! Why don't you leading cadres go to the harsh environment to sharpen your will? You know that living in this big brick building is comfortable, and you also know that the first floor is damp and you have to sleep on the second floor. Tao Nanfeng is worried about winter. This is called foresight.

What’s wrong with taking precautions?”

Xiao Aiyun quietly held Tao Nanfeng's hand. The soft palm felt delicate and warmed Tao Nanfeng's heart.

"You can't build a house, but you are good at criticizing it. If the house collapses, your Infrastructure Department will not review and reflect on it, but instead ask us educated youth to build it ourselves. Tao Nanfeng just said five words and you criticized him. Why, are you bullying honest people?"

"

The girls shared the same hatred, and the male educated youths expressed support one after another. Even those who thought just now that it was enough to just build the house and whether it kept warm or not did not matter, began to support Tao Nanfeng.

"Yes! The original thatched house was simply uninhabitable. When the wind blows, the thatched grass flies away, the walls fall, beams break, and the roof collapses. What do we do when the winter snow comes?"

"Why do the leaders live in small Western-style buildings, but let us educated youth live in thatched houses? We also want to build brick houses!"

"Yes, only by improving the living environment can we work and live with peace of mind."

Feeling the enthusiasm of his companions, Tao Nanfeng's hands trembled slightly, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, and he could not say a word.

Huang Xingwu became angry with shame: "Other educated youths are obedient, but you guys from Jiangcheng have a lot of trouble. If you want to build a brick house, you can build it yourself. We, the Infrastructure Department, don't care!"

After that, he waved his hand and walked away.

Luo Xuan spread his hands and shook his head helplessly: "You guys are still too young. What's the benefit of going against the people in the Infrastructure Department? Now it's okay, Section Chief Huang doesn't care about you, who will build the house?"

Ignoring the infrastructure department and building their own houses? The educated youth were immediately dumbfounded.

They are just high school graduates. Most of their knowledge comes from textbooks and classes. No one has ever taught them how to build a house.

The incident started when Tao Nanfeng said "I'm worried about winter", and she naturally became the first person everyone turned to for help.

Xiao Aiyun, who both works in the road construction team, almost worships Tao Nanfeng: "Tao Nanfeng, I see that the books you always like to read are related to architecture. Do you understand architecture?"

Tao Nanfeng brought two books from home, a "History of Chinese Architecture" by Mr. Liang Sicheng and a collection of poems by Mr. Lin Huiyin. He would always read them in his free time.

Qiao Yadong also looked at Tao Nanfeng: "You know how to press thatch with pine branches, do you know something about construction?"

Tao Nanfeng did not deny it, but there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

Hope suddenly ignited in everyone's hearts.

——As long as you don’t refuse, there will be a chance.

Li Huilan's eyes were full of expectation: "Tao Nanfeng, if you know architecture, why don't you lead everyone to build a house together?"

Although they had only known each other for half a month, Qiao Yadong felt that Tao Nanfeng had a smart and intelligent heart hidden under his silent appearance.

He smiled and encouraged: "If you can do it, give it a try. The house we build together will be better than the thatched house that fell down when the wind blew and leaked when it rained."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Tao Nanfeng. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly. Her voice was like a stream flowing through bluestone, soft and round.

"I learned some architectural knowledge from my father and read some professional books, but there was only theory and no practice... I have never really built a house."

Qiao Yadong asked: "Is your dad engaged in the construction industry?"

Tao Nanfeng nodded. Professor Tao Shouxin was well-known at Jiangcheng University of Architecture and Architecture. He once presided over the reconstruction of the old site of Mingyue Tower, a famous building in Jiangcheng, and was recognized and appreciated by the mayor.

Her father is Tao Nanfeng’s role model and her life mentor.

Ye Qin asked her curiously: "I remember your dad is a teacher, right? How come it has anything to do with architecture?"

Tao Nanfeng will not lie. Although her father taught her to keep a low profile, mentioning her father's profession at this moment still makes her feel proud: "My dad teaches architecture at the university."

Architecture? Everyone cheered when they heard this term.

"Tao Nanfeng's father is so awesome!"

"Teacher from the university, I'll just teach you a little bit."

"Yes, yes, Tao Nanfeng, I think you can do it!"

Tao Nanfeng raised his head, an inexplicable light flashing in his bright eyes: "Then let me give it a try?"

Her words made everyone excited.

——Even if the Infrastructure Department leaves it alone, Tao Nanfeng can lead us to build a house!

Qiao Yadong looked at her without blinking: "Tao Nanfeng, give it a try, we will listen to you!"

The girls smiled brightly: "Try it! At least you know a little bit, and you are better than the rest of us who don't know anything."

Tao Nanfeng took a deep breath and nodded.

"I want a drawing board, a T-square, and a pair of triangle boards. I'll design the architectural drawings of the new house first, and then everyone will build according to the drawings."

A smiling voice came from the corridor: "Good guy, Tao Nanfeng, you are a professional. You can also draw architectural drawings."

I looked up and saw that the person coming was engineer Yang Xianyong from the road construction team. His eyes were smiling behind black-rimmed glasses.

Tao Nanfeng explained seriously: "I learned tracing from my father." If you want to draw, you must first trace. This is the basic skill of an architect.

Mao Peng and Xiang Bei walked side by side. Mao Peng said: "Don't worry, the road construction team also belongs to the Infrastructure Department, we are here to help you. Drawing tools, measuring tools, tools used to build a house... We are responsible for these."

Xiang Bei didn't smile or speak, only nodded slightly.

Seeing Xiang Bei nodding, the educated youths were completely relieved and began to relax.

"Tao Nanfeng, let's build the most beautiful house in Xiufeng Mountain, let other educated youths drool, and slap the face of the Infrastructure Department! Oh, I forgot that the road construction team is also from the Infrastructure Department, damn it!"

Everyone laughed loudly and walked into the road construction team's office with Tao Nanfeng in their arms.

Yang Gong gave up his desk, which was a professional drawing table - a table with adjustable tilt, a high chair, a grid of drawing paper taped to the drawing board, a T-square, and a neat triangle.

place on the board.

Tao Nanfeng's eyes lit up when he saw this familiar drawing tool, and he rolled up his sleeves and sat at the table.

When she placed the T-square on the side of the drawing board and gently slid it, then picked up a pencil and drew a horizontal line, her whole person became different.

Relax your shoulders and back, raise your forearms slightly, breathe evenly, follow your eyes with your hands, and stay calm and relaxed.

——The professional skills that my father has strictly trained for so many years bloomed with dazzling brilliance at this moment.

Everyone waited with bated breath, fearing that the louder breathing would blow away the drawings and disturb Tao Nanfeng's train of thought.

Tao Nanfeng, who was sitting in front of the drawing board, obviously talked a lot.

"There are twenty people in total, and five dormitories are designed according to four people per room.

The east and west ends are pushed forward by 1.5 meters, leaving an eaves corridor to provide shade in summer and rain protection in rainy days. Everyone can chat on the corridor, which is regarded as a public activity space.

The kitchen and toilet are placed on the north side, the kitchen is equipped with a flue attached to the wall, and the dry toilet is connected to a septic tank."

When they heard that a dormitory with four rooms was to be built, the educated youth couldn't hide their excitement and couldn't help but chatter.

"We used to live in an eight-person room, and Wei Min's snoring was so noisy. Now it's good, let him share a room with Lao Fan and the others who snore."

"The kitchens in the educated youth areas don't even have a rainproof tarpaulin. I've been worried that it won't even light the firewood if it rains. It's a good design now. The kitchen is indoors."

"The toilet must be well done, otherwise it will stink."

Xiao Aiyun cautiously approached and made some suggestions: "Tao Nanfeng, can you make a bath room?"

Tao Nanfeng didn't look up and added two lines on the drawing: "Okay, make a small cubicle at the west end of the kitchen, connect the drainage pipe to the outside, and it will be convenient to boil hot water."

Seeing that her opinion was adopted, Xiao Aiyun made a fist in the air with her right hand and said, "Okay!" It was great to be able to carry a bucket of hot water in and take a quick bath.

Qiao Yadong suddenly remembered something and asked Mao Peng: "Vice Captain Mao, I heard someone said that the road down the mountain collapsed. Is it true?"

Mao Peng nodded: "It was windy and rainy last night, and the section halfway up the mountain was blocked. We have arranged for six people to dig the road. Let's see if it can be opened in two days."

Qiao Yadong asked: "Tao Nanfeng, what materials are you using for this house? If it is the same brick house as the field office building, red bricks, tiles, cement and other building materials must be carried up the mountain by manpower. It would be difficult."
