Courtyard: My wife is Wen Li

Naturally, we couldn't find Master Zhao and the others this time, because it was a different street and there was also an engineering team here. Lin Yao's family went to the street and found Captain Li, the captain of the engineering team here.

Captain Li is in his fifties. He has been working in the construction industry for most of his life and has rich experience.

The house He Yuzhu bought this time is a three-entry courtyard house. This type of courtyard house is common in Sijiu City. It has a house door, a street door, and five reverse rooms in the front. The sum of these three is the width of the yard.

Passing through the hanging flower gate is the main courtyard, the main room and the east and west wing rooms. There is no south room here, and the yard looks more open. The hand verandah surrounds the entire main courtyard. There are no wing rooms, and behind it are seven back rooms.

But now there are many additional houses. After Captain Li and He Yuzhu took a look around, they said: "The specific additions need to be demolished before they can be inspected more carefully."

"Then it's settled!" He Yuzhu nodded, "First it will be demolished, and then the entire yard will be repaired inside and outside, especially the structure of the house. Then each room will have to be supported. We can talk about this later."

“The key is running water!”

There is running water here too, but it’s in the main courtyard!

"The back-seat room in the front will be used as a kitchen, and the stove will be installed when the time comes. The tap water will be directed there. In addition, I plan to use the back-seat room in the backyard as a bathroom, and I will also direct it there." He Yuzhu said: "In addition, I'm going to Build a toilet in the front and back.”

"Toilet?" Captain Li raised an eyebrow, "This dry toilet is in your own yard. Can you stand the smell?"

"Don't worry, I have a way to build a septic tank, but the wastewater needs to be introduced into the sewer!" He Yuzhu said.

"Going into the water, I'm afraid this won't work. It's easy for you to block the water." Captain Li shook his head.

"It seems that you don't understand the function of the septic tank. Let me tell you!" He Yuzhu squatted down, picked up a stone, and drew it on the ground. "This septic tank does not occupy a large area, and it goes downwards." Digged.”

"Flush the toilet and flush the dirty things down. Once you enter the first pool, it won't move."

"It all settles here, and a pipe is connected to it. After there are too many things in it, the wastewater enters the second pool and settles again."

"Then we entered the third pool. This third pool was basically filled with wastewater and nothing else."

Captain Li was stunned. He didn't expect such a design. "So, every time you dispose of waste, just clean the first pool, right?"

"That's right, you can just ask someone to dig it out once every few years. There is usually no smell." He Yuzhu threw away the stone, then stood up and said, "This wastewater is discharged into the sewer pipe, so there is no need to worry about blockage."

"Can you get tiles here?"

"Yes, but the price is not low." Captain Li nodded.

"Sure, I will use it more by then, such as the kitchen and bathroom. They must be waterproof and have skylights." He Yuzhu briefly explained his plan, letting Captain Li know what he was planning.

"Okay, I'll bring someone over tomorrow to dismantle it first. Do you have time?" Captain Li asked.

"Yes, I will follow you tomorrow. I will follow you for almost the entire construction period. Just don't find me annoying then." He Yuzhu wanted to keep an eye on it in person this time.

"No problem!" Captain Li then made an appointment with He Yuzhu before leaving.

He Yuzhu returned to Wen's house in the evening and reported the matter to his wife and mother-in-law. Wen Li was a little hesitant, "Moving so far away will make it inconvenient to go to work in the future, and Wen Jia will have to deal with it."

"It's okay. Can't we just take the bus then?" He Yuzhu said: "Now it is opening up more and more. I will buy a car and drive in the future."

"See what you can do!" Wen Li rolled her eyes at him.

…

From the next day on, He Yuzhu went straight to the front door after finishing his meal every morning.

The first is demolition. All these haphazardly built houses are demolished. The red bricks removed can be used in kitchens and bathrooms, which saves the need to buy them again.

After cleaning up, it’s time to move on to the roof. This is the key point. Take off all the tiles and clean them. Clean up all the dust on them, and then look at the beams above.

After cleaning, repaint and replace if damaged.

If you want to modernize, you have to wait until thirty years later, so He Yuzhu paid special attention to this decoration and followed every place carefully.

Four footings will be added to the three large rooms in the main courtyard. This time, there will be no fully enclosed partitions. The main purpose is to increase the load-bearing and aesthetics.

Two more beams will be added to both the inverted house and the back house, and any damaged beams or walls must be rebuilt with bricks.

The interior of the room is painted with half a wall, mainly to avoid getting dirty. Nowadays, briquettes are still burned, so half the wall is painted to make it easier to take care of.

All doors and windows were replaced with double-glazed glass, that is, two pieces of glass are stacked on top of each other, and all doors, windows, and columns were repainted.

A toilet was built at the front and rear respectively. The back room was directly converted into a bathroom with a bathtub and inlaid with ceramic tiles. The front room was converted into a kitchen and was also inlaid with ceramic tiles for easy maintenance.

The floors in all aspects have been re-leveled, and the furniture is made in retro style. The main room is the layout of the bedroom, living room, and study.

Although the amount of the project was not small, it was actually not much work, and it only lasted about a month. Because there was nothing too complicated, He Yuzhu came over every day and opened the doors and windows to let the air out. It would take at least two months to let people live there.

Wen's mother, Wen Li, and their three children all came to see us. They were all very happy that they could live in a bigger house, and everyone had their own room. There were also many guest rooms, which were convenient for gatherings during New Years and holidays. .

Wen's mother now lives with them, and the eldest sister and the second sister's family will live here during the holidays. The Wen family's house is for their children, so the housing tension between the two families has been relieved.

Two months later, He Yuzhu moved in with his whole family. The eldest sister and the second sister's family helped, and they would also move later.

Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen also came to help. He Yuzhu has actually met a lot of people in the past two years, and his place is very close to Xu Huizhen's house. The two families live in an alley. The alley here is very wide and cars can be used. This is also the case for He Yuzhu. One of the reasons for fancying it.

In the early 1980s, Volkswagen first entered the domestic car market. The early Jetta cost just over 80,000 yuan, and then the price quickly increased to more than 200,000 yuan.

He Yuzhu had actually been eyeing this for a long time, and he planned to buy two of them occasionally.
