Chapter 135 Changing to a Bigger House (Page 12)
After hearing Xiang Yunduan's question, everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai's expression changed. Just now, these people were flattering him and saying good things for free, but now they were looking at him as if they were a god of plague, as if they were afraid of having anything to do with him.
Of course he understands that all this is related to Xiang Yunduan.
If it was before, maybe the neighbors in the yard didn't care so much about Xiang Yunduan, but from now on, it will be different. After all, Xiang Yunduan is now a serious cadre, and he is also a security cadre, wearing a public security uniform. He was also wearing handcuffs, which was undoubtedly a shock to everyone.
As for Yi Zhonghai, he just doesn't get along with Xiang Yunduan. If any of his "shout-eyed" neighbors get too close to him, Xiang Yunduan will inevitably hate him.
"Why don't you say anything? Who dug this hole? What is the purpose of digging this hole?" Xiang Yunduan asked a little strangely.
He hadn't yet realized that the hole in front of him had something to do with Yi Zhonghai, and the neighbors were so shocked by what he had done to deal with Jia Dongxu just now that they didn't dare to say anything more at the moment.
"I dug it!"
Yi Zhonghai stood up and said: "I had people dig this hole. I wanted to build a public toilet in the yard. That way, everyone would no longer have to go to the alley to use the toilet.
Our courtyard is so big and there are many residents. Digging a toilet would be very convenient for everyone, especially in winter. Although everyone can use a urine bucket to solve the problem in their own house at night, there are still many problems. Convenient, like going to a large size.
Moreover, some families have smaller houses but more people, and even parents-in-law and daughter-in-law live in the same room. This is really inconvenient, so I thought of building this toilet! "
After Yi Zhonghai explained, Xiang Yunduan finally understood.
This courtyard house used to have toilets, and there were two toilets in the front yard and the back yard. However, after liberation, the house was tense and the toilets were changed into rooms. Everyone went to the public toilet at the entrance of the alley to solve the problem.
The reason why Yi Zhonghai wanted to build this toilet was just to win people's hearts.
Having a public toilet in the yard will indeed be a lot more convenient for everyone, and this toilet is built to the south of Yi Zhonghai's house. Whoever wants to go to the toilet can easily remind everyone of his "contribution" over and over again.
In this way, Yi Zhonghai felt that it would not be difficult for him to regain his identity as a master.
But what Yi Zhonghai didn't expect was that Xiang Yunduan had progressed too quickly, and how could he suddenly become a cadre or a security cadre.
Now, who among the people in the yard dares to say that Xiang Yunduan's identity as a coordinator has been removed?
As long as Xiang Yunduan is still working as a coordinator, it will be difficult for him to regain his status as an elder. After all, he can't have four uncles, right?
His only way now is to see if he can catch Liu Haizhong or Yan Bugui, and then find a way to remove one of them from the status of uncle, just like how others removed him from the status of uncle before.
Not to mention that Yi Zhonghai has already decided in his heart that he will "temporarily avoid the edge" when facing Xiang Yunduan in the future, and instead look for the weaknesses of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.
Xiang Yunduan was very much in agreement with Yi Zhonghai's idea of building a public toilet.
No one is immune from eating, drinking and defecating. He also has to run to the alley entrance to go to the toilet, and the hygienic condition of the public toilet at the alley entrance is worrying. In winter, it is fine, the smell is not obvious, but in summer, it is different. It is as dirty as possible. , and flies, mosquitoes and even maggots can be found everywhere, not to mention the smell.
If a toilet is built in the yard only for the use of people in the yard, the situation will undoubtedly be much better.
"Oh, so that's what it is. This is great. It's a good thing that is completely beneficial and harmless to the neighbors. I support it!"
Xiang Yunduan nodded and continued: "Since this is a public toilet built for all neighbors, how is the cost calculated? Also, it will also cost money to clean the cesspool in the future, so how is this calculated?"
Building a toilet in the yard is actually a dry toilet. It is nothing more than digging a larger, hidden septic tank.
There is no sewage treatment equipment now, and this excrement can be made into biofertilizer, which is of great use, so it cannot be wasted casually.
However, this means that whenever the septic tank is almost full, professional septic diggers will be needed to clean it.
If you are cleaning public toilets like those at the entrance of an alley, it is of course free of charge. However, you need to charge a certain fee to clean such toilets in private yards.
Although this fee is not expensive, many people are not willing to pay this money when there are free public toilets.
This is why no one in the yard had suggested this before.
But looking at the toilet like this today, Yi Zhonghai is probably responsible for it.
Sure enough, after Xiang Yunduan spoke, Yi Zhonghai puffed up his chest and said in a much louder voice: "I proposed the construction of the toilet, and naturally I will pay for it, whether it is building the toilet or cleaning it later. I am responsible for all expenses!”
"Oh, Master Yi is so rich!"
Xiang Yunduan said with a smile on his face: "However, since it is everyone's business, then as the coordinator of the yard, I have to take the lead to some extent, and these expenses will be counted on me.
In addition, there are a lot of people in our yard, but the place is not very big. It is estimated that building three pits will be enough. During peak periods of toilet use, such as in the morning, it is easy to cause crowding.
So I propose to build another toilet. Then there will be two toilets, one for men and one for women, which will avoid unnecessary embarrassment!
What do you think? Second uncle, third uncle, what do you think? "
The east and west wing rooms in the middle courtyard all have a layout with only one wing room.
The west wing, including the ear room, is occupied by the Jia family. The open space to the south of the west wing is a vegetable cellar.
The east wing belongs to Yi Zhonghai's house, and the wing on the north side belongs to He Yuyu's house.
As for the south side, there is an open space, which is where Yi Zhonghai is building a toilet.
This place is indeed not big, and the toilet cannot be built too big.
"I agree!"
"Then I agree!"
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui expressed their opinions one after another, but they both agreed reluctantly. Yan Bugui was afraid that he would have to pay for it, while Liu Haizhong was purely because Yi Zhonghai and Xiang Yunduan raised the issue and he didn't get it. What a reputation, so it’s just a little unpleasant.
Yi Zhonghai originally thought that Xiang Yunduan would oppose the construction of toilets to oppose him, but he did not expect that Xiang Yunduan not only did not object, but also wanted to increase the scale.
However, the more Xiang Yunduan behaved like this, the more uncomfortable he felt as if he had eaten a fly.
This was a way to earn fame that he had finally racked his brains to come up with, but Xiang Yunduan interfered with it. The effect was not achieved, and the money was spent. It was basically a waste of work.
But at this time, it was impossible for him to quit, so he could only press on.
The idea of a men's and women's toilet, not surprisingly, won the support of the neighbors in the yard. Finally, everyone discussed and decided to build another toilet in a separate small yard to the right of the screen wall after entering the gate.
