Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

Zhang Sicheng's family didn't leave until four o'clock in the afternoon. When they left, Zhang Simin brought a lot of things, including seafood sent back by Lin Zhe from Pengcheng, as well as drinks and fruits.

Both Zhang Sicheng and his wife were very embarrassed. How could visiting relatives walk away without finishing their meal?

Zhang Sicheng kept looking at Lin Chengcai's face, fearing that his brother-in-law would care about him and say that his sister was looking after her parents' family.

Lin Chengcai didn't care at all. His brother-in-law came home to pay New Year's greetings. The expression on his face was always smiling, and the smile never stopped. When he saw this, he said: "Take it, there are still a lot at home, I can't finish it. We only have two mouths, how can we eat this?"

He was not a stingy person to begin with. When he was young, his family was very poor and he couldn't afford to buy anything for his father-in-law, so he went to help with the work, planting rice and harvesting rice in the dry land and paddy fields without losing money year after year. No, I didn’t go now.

Life in the family has been getting better in the past few years, and the sons and daughters-in-law are still filial, especially Lin Zhe and his wife. They wear clothes all year round. They don't forget to take money from home when people are not coming back for the New Year and festivals. Every time they come back, they always bring big and small bags. , the old couple couldn't spend much in the countryside, so they saved almost everything.

Now that he has to build a house for them, and their life is so good, it is even less possible for him to be stingy about it.

The old couple and Lin Zhe took the people all the way to the entrance of the village.

When they walked away, Lin Xu and his wife were the only ones left in the room. Sun Hui curled her lips and said to him: "Mom is too generous. That seafood is so expensive! And that wine is good wine. I heard my sister-in-law said It costs more than 200 per bottle! You don’t even want to keep it for us, so you can use it to talk about projects and it will give you face.”

Lin Xu rolled his eyes at her, "That's my uncle, what's wrong with giving it to him? I can't afford it or what? Can you stop being so stingy and be more generous in your behavior? The same goes for giving lucky money. Before, everyone gave ten yuan , why did it change to five yuan again? The youngest gave ten yuan, and I gave five yuan, I am not ashamed!"

Sun Hui choked up: "The New Year is over, and our children haven't received any of their New Year's money. Their family got ten yuan for free, and I gave five yuan, which is very good. You forgot that year, we took our children to you At my brother-in-law’s house, your brother-in-law gave two yuan to each child.”

"Is it the same three or four years ago as it is now? My brother-in-law's family was already poor. If he wants to give more, he must be able to give it! You don't want to compare the good with the bad. You want everyone to know that our family You are poor, can't you keep up with the youngest? Can you be more generous?" Lin Xu said dissatisfiedly to Sun Hui.

Sun Hui whispered: "I couldn't catch up in the first place..."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing. I mean, the youngest, I don't know how to ask us..." After a pause, he said, "By the way, the youngest must be discussing building a house when he comes back. You and he should make a good plan."

Lin Xu was impatient, "I know, please stop talking when the time comes..."

"I know, I know, I'm right next to you."

"Mom and Dad, look at this drawing. I plan to build a three-story building. Your bedroom will be on the first floor, so you don't have to climb up and down. The living room and dining room are also on the first floor. We will live on the second and third floors during the Chinese New Year. Get a few more bedrooms so that the whole family doesn’t have to be crowded together when they come back for the New Year, and each has his or her own room.”

After sending someone back, Lin Zhe took out the drawings and talked to the old couple about the house.

The old couple stared at the drawings with keen eyes, fearing that they might have missed something.

"The kitchen is built on the left, and a platform is built on the roof, which is connected to the second floor. It is convenient for drying anything."

"I plan to enclose the whole yard and use iron bars so that you can see the outside. I will also build a flower bed below, where you can grow vegetables and flowers. The whole yard will be paved with cement floors, and the house will be paved with ceramic tiles..."

The old couple laughed when they heard it. The drawings were clearly drawn on the drawings. At a glance, they knew what it would look like when it was built in the future.

Lin Chengcai smiled and said: "The construction is too good. It doesn't need to be built so well. It's good to have a two-story building. It's enough to live in."

Zhang Simin also said: "I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to build like this. Let's build one less floor. There is no need to fence the yard with iron fences. The old bricks dismantled from this house are enough. There is no need to fence high." , if there is a half-man who blocks the chickens and ducks from running around, that’s it.”

Lin Zhe waved his hand, "That won't work. We have so many family members. How can we live on two floors? If we want to build it, build it better. Now you are thinking that the children are still young. Why don't you think about getting married when Xiao Ting, Xiao Wei and others are older? If you have children, how will you live with them when you come back, and where can you live?”

These words made the old couple happy. Old people, who doesn’t want four generations living under one roof? If that were the case, they really wouldn’t be able to live there. “How can we live so long?”

Lin Zhe raised his eyebrows: "Why not? It's not like before. There is no money to treat the disease, and the food is poor and nutritious. As long as you take good care of yourself, eat and drink well, don't tire yourself out, live to nine It is normal to be over ten years old. Newspapers say that the elderly today live longer than those in the past. Why? It is not because the conditions are better now and everything has caught up."

"By the time you are eighty or ninety, your grandchildren will almost all be married and have children."

Lin Zhe clicked on the drawing, "The wall still needs to be removed with iron bars. It's not safe for someone half a man tall to climb in. Just listen to me on how to build it."

The old couple laughed so hard that their eyes narrowed, "Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

The next step is to calculate the cost, how much sand and gravel should be used, how much bricks should be used, how much cement should be used, whether to use cast-in-place or cement board, what is the price of cast-in-place, how much does cement board cost, etc.

The main building occupies an area of ​​more than 140 square meters. The total construction area of ​​the three floors is more than 400 square meters. Plus the kitchen area of ​​more than 20 square meters, the total area is about [-] square meters. The enclosed yard takes up about two square meters. [-] square feet.

"The main building can't be built for less than [-] to [-] yuan." Lin Xu said after reading the drawings given by Lin Zhe.

Lin Zhe laughed, he could really make a price.

He also inquired about the labor price of building materials. The price of red bricks is four cents a piece. If the price is more, this house will cost about 12 yuan. The total price is about [-] yuan, so he will give him more. A little bit, five thousand.

The price of cement is 15 tons. This one is more expensive and costs about 24 tons. Sand costs about [-] tons. Stone costs about six tons. Both are cheap. The total price is almost [-].

The labor at home is cheap, and with materials such as steel bars, he only gets 6 to [-] yuan. How did he calculate [-] to [-] yuan?

According to his calculation, the construction cost of this house is higher than that of Pengcheng.
