Chapter 18 Preparing to build a new house(1/2)

“So many people!!”

"I have never seen so many villagers wandering around our house."

"Have you seen that our stone arch bridge is so beautiful? Come and see how strange it is!"...

Wanjun and the other three little girls were standing not far away with the big yellow dog. They saw so many villagers coming to watch their big ditch and big stone bridge. They felt extremely proud and raised their little faces high.

They have never felt so proud and proud in their hearts.

The bustling crowd watched for more than an hour before dispersing in twos and threes.

The old village chief did not leave with the crowd. He walked up to Wang Qiang with a smile and asked, "Aqiang, are you going to build a new house next, or should you cultivate fields and repair water conservancy first?"

“Building a new house?”

Wang Qiang didn't expect this at all.

"yes!"

The old village chief reminded, "You have such great craftsmanship and great strength. You should be able to build a house that is not too big or too small and suitable for living."

"You can build such a beautiful and strong stone arch bridge, but it's almost as difficult to build a new house."

The house this little guy's family lives in now is too dilapidated, with air leaks everywhere. If it rains heavily, it may be in danger of collapse.

Winter is coming soon, he has to remind Wang Qiang.

"yes!"

Being accidentally awakened by the old village chief, Wang Qiang patted his big head with some annoyance and said to himself, "I am shackled by my usual thinking. Why can't I build a stone villa with my own hands?"

"I don't have enough money to buy materials to build a brick house, but it can be built with large bluestone blocks. Anyway, there are a lot of large bluestones nearby, and it only takes a lot of effort to mine them manually."

Bluestone is one of the most suitable natural materials for building houses. Houses built with it are warm in winter and cool in summer, and are free from those messy radiation, chemical pollution and other hazards.

Many buildings of the ancients were built with large bluestones.

"Moreover, that kind of bluestone building can be well preserved hundreds of years later. It is no worse or even better than new houses built with red bricks and concrete."

"As a cheater with a magical golden finger, it is not difficult for me to do this, and it does cost a lot of money. It just requires a lot of time and labor."

The cold winter is about to come, and living in that adobe thatched house that leaks drafts from all directions is simply a punishment.

You know, my sister and the others have suffered so much in the cold winters these past few years.

Now that I have a magical golden finger and a super physical fitness, I don't have to think about things like ordinary people. I still need to adapt to the role change as soon as possible in the future.

You can build a new house by yourself, so why should you let your sisters continue to suffer from the severe cold this winter?

Is it really necessary just to keep a low profile?

It seems that even if I don't want to be high-profile, I still have to be high-profile.

As a layman who is different from ordinary people, even if it takes several months to build a large villa, there is still enough time to clear land and farm, and there is no need to worry about the thorny problem of not being able to pay the public grain next year.

What's more, we won't start formal planting and breeding until March or April next year, when the climate is suitable, so there's no time left.

Anyway, the fields have been divided into households, and the policy is liberalized, so there is no need to worry about being reported or anything like that.

The trend of great social changes will become more and more intense in the future. Building a new house for your own family is just a small step ahead. There is nothing to worry about.

"Old village chief, you are right. My adobe thatched house is no longer suitable for living. It is necessary to build a new house!"

Wang Qiang said to the old village chief, "I plan to build a new house for myself next."

"So...Aqiang, do you need help from the villagers to build your new house?"

The old village chief said, "If necessary, I still have some thin noodles, and dozens of strong men who know how to build houses can still be called at will."

This little guy is so surprising, and he is getting more and more surprises.

Therefore, in the old village chief's opinion, if he is capable, he would not mind helping.

It can be regarded as a good relationship and alleviate the conflicts between Wang Qiang and the villagers.

Of course, the old village chief, who seemed selfless but actually had no benefits, only thought so after seeing Wang Qiang's magic.

"Thank you, village chief."

Wang Qiang knew it well, but he didn't reach out to hit the smiling man. He thought for a moment and said, "The new house I want to build is very different from the new house everyone usually builds. Of course, anyone who comes to help is very welcome."

.”

"In terms of food and wages, I will find a way to solve it so that no one will suffer."

"I plan to build three floors. The first floor is the warehouse, and the upper two floors are the living quarters."

"I plan to use large stones to build the three-story building of the new house, and part of the top floor will be built and decorated with wood and bamboo."

"There are a lot of these main materials nearby. Most of the building materials do not need to be purchased outside. The money required to build a house is not much."

Wang Qiang told the truth and did not refuse the old village chief's kindness.

"Little guy, you don't use adobe or bricks to build a new house?" The old village leader felt strange.

"Forget it, I don't understand what you're talking about. I guess no one else in the village understands either. I'm just waiting to see your new house."

"When the time comes, I will arrange for a dozen strong men to come over to help. People from the same village will not have any obstacles that they can't overcome..."

Afterwards, he talked with Wang Qiang for a while, turned around and left slowly.

"Old village chief, thank you!"

Wang Qiang shouted towards the back of the old village chief, his gratitude coming from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, it is also thanks to him that my family can smoothly divide the fields into households.

"Brother, our family is going to build a new house?"

"Brother, when will we start building the big house?"

As soon as the village chief left, the two twin girls asked with eyes shining.

"Well, we'll start preparing the materials tomorrow, and when they're ready, we'll start building."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Qiang said with a smile, "I will go home today and get the drawings of the new house and build them according to the drawings."

When building your own new house, of course it must be perfect.

Therefore, much more thought was spent on it than the previously built stone arch bridge.

Therefore, it is necessary to draw a drawing first.

Moreover, not only the drawings must be prepared first, but also the wooden frames of the doors and windows must be built first.

In the 21st century, except for some doors and windows specially made by rich people, the aluminum alloy glass doors and windows used by ordinary people actually have many disadvantages.

What's more, in today's tea city, there is no processing of aluminum alloy doors and windows. It is more economical and economical to use high-quality wood to make doors and windows.

With his current super carpentry skills, the wooden doors and windows carefully crafted will surely make people's eyes shine.

What happened next, as Wang Qiang expected, was that building a new house was very complicated.

He has made an agreement with the old village chief that he does not need help from the villagers during the preparation of materials. He plans to complete this part of the work himself without bothering others.

When the official construction of the house begins, the old village chief will be informed and asked to help.

Although as an unreasonable idiot, what he could do was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but the preparations had not been completed and he had spent nearly twenty days.

Mining stones, going up mountains to cut down big trees, processing stones and wood, making door and window frames, etc., was so busy that there was no time to spare.

There was also a heavy rain during this period. Fortunately, Wang Qiang had prepared enough wood to build doors and windows a few days before the heavy rain, processed it and put it in the house to dry in the shade.

This is also because there are many big trees on the back mountain, and there is no shortage of sources of good wood, so the preparations can be made smoothly.

After the rain stopped, he also used the fumigation method to deal with the wood that had not dried thoroughly, so that the construction schedule was not delayed.

Starting from the end of summer this year, many supplies in the tea city have been deregulated, and they have begun to keep up with the times and prepare to vigorously develop the economy.

Tea City is a remote mountainous area, and many things are different from the outside world.

Many things that in the past required various tickets can now be purchased without tickets.

In the past few days, he had taken the time to go into the mountains several times, knocked out dozens of bamboo rats, captured them, and sold them in the city for money.

With a few hundred yuan in hand, he bought back in batches enough cement, lime, glazed tiles and other building materials to build his own house, as well as many daily necessities.

There are many walking tractors in the tea city now, which are specially used for transportation. They cost three yuan a trip. They can run anywhere within ten kilometers in the county. They are available at any time and are very convenient for hauling goods.

There are many temples in Tea City, and some buildings often need to be repaired and renovated, which requires a lot of glazed tiles. Therefore, there is also a glazed tile factory near the county seat of Tea City.

For the decoration of large villas, eaves and roofs, under limited conditions, it is better to use glazed tiles for decoration, which looks better.

Cement is even more convenient. A few years ago, Tea City overhauled its reservoir and built a medium-sized cement plant near the county seat.

Therefore, the price of cement in Tea City is not expensive, there are many reserves of finished products, and it is very convenient to purchase.

There is also river sand. Wang Qiang also went to the river two days ago to pick up a lot of sand, and made a homemade bamboo sieve to sift through it.

Although these building materials are not necessary for him, they can achieve better results when used in some key places.

For example, foundation, biogas pool, bluestone slab bonding, sewers and some wall joints painting, etc.

After some days, he finally had all the materials ready, including the frames for the doors and windows.
