A powerful country in scientific research

The next day.

Before going to work, the team leader called the team members to a meeting in the threshing ground.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Captain Li said, "Since everyone has heard the rumors before, I won't beat around the bush today. In order to thank everyone for their support over the past two years and to give back to everyone, the Qinghe Oil Mill has decided to pay for everyone to build houses, but not all of it, only half of it."

Upon hearing the news, there was a burst of jubilation at the scene.

"However, I also want to explain to everyone that this time the house will not be built in the original place, but needs to be moved. If it is really built in the original place, everyone will have nowhere to live, right?"

When the team members heard that the captain wanted them to move to another place, they were actually a little reluctant. After all, this was the place they had lived in for decades. How could they be willing to move?

But after hearing what was said, they thought that it was indeed true. If they built houses on the same site, where would they live now? Besides, the brigade had already taken the initiative to pay half of the money. It was just a matter of moving to a new location. What was the big deal?

Besides, they are all located in the big team area and they can’t move far.

Captain Li: "There is one thing I want to emphasize. The houses you live in now have several rooms, and the new houses in the future will also be of the same size. If anyone wants to apply for a new foundation, they can come to the brigade to apply."

The people below had no objection.

Of course they would be happy to build a few more rooms, but unfortunately their wallets wouldn't allow it, so they decided to just build houses similar to the previous ones.

Seeing that no one spoke, the team leader continued, "This time our team is not going to build an ordinary house. Since we are rebuilding it, we should build a good one. The oil mill specially hired experts to design a new house. Now we have two choices, one is a courtyard house and the other is a small western-style building."

The captain's words made everyone restless.

"Can we still build a small Western-style building? Can we also live in a small Western-style building?"

“What does a quadrangle courtyard look like?”

“How many floors can a small western-style building have? Will it be too expensive?”

The team leader said: "Everyone, please be patient. I will post the blueprints of the two types of houses and the approximate cost of building them at the entrance of the team in a while. You can go and have a look after work. Everyone, go back and think about it after work. Go back and discuss with your family members and come to the team to vote tomorrow. We will build the one with the highest number of votes."

"it is good."

"Thank you, Captain."

Everyone was absent-minded the whole morning, but as soon as they heard the bell for the end of work, they immediately handed in their farm tools and hurried to the brigade.

Unfortunately, I’m still too late.

A thinner middle-aged man took advantage of his size and squeezed in.

Looking at the design in front of him, which was much more beautiful than the buildings in the city, he swallowed.

"Is it this one?"

Li Jianjun, who had arrived earlier, replied, "Uncle Fugui, this is it. This one is for the building, and this one is for the courtyard."

Then he pointed it out for him.

The thin middle-aged man, Li Fugui, followed his line of sight and couldn't help but sigh, "This courtyard is really majestic, it looks better than the house of the landlord."

Li Jianjun fully agreed.

"I never thought that we would live in a building one day."

Qin Changqing on the side said: "This courtyard is not bad, but it's more comfortable to live in a large bungalow."

Li Fugui: "I like Siheyuan too. I think this one is cheaper."

Li Jianjun looked at the "budget" posted and said, "Actually, they are all about the same. The foundation of a building is expensive, but it has two floors. If you only build three rooms in a courtyard house, it will definitely be cheaper. If you build more, it will be about the same as a building."

Li Fugui: "That's right. I have to go back and discuss it with your aunt."

Qin Changqing: "Fugui, tell me the truth, which one do you want to build?"

"I like the courtyard house, but you know my family, I have no say in it." Li Fugui said helplessly.

Qin Changqing: “Indeed.”

Everyone in the Qinghe Brigade knows that Li Fugui has a fierce wife.

Li Fugui silently wrote down the budget, then he squeezed out of the crowd and quickly returned home.

I kept reciting two sets of numbers silently on the way, for fear of forgetting them.

After Li Fugui left, the people who were looking at the drawings were also having heated discussions.

"Brother, which one do you like?"

The man called the second brother smiled and replied: "Of course it's a building. It's so comfortable to live in a building."

Although the courtyard house is also very luxurious, "living in a building in the city" is what they dream of.

He had long heard from relatives in the city how great apartment buildings were. Now that he could live in an apartment at home, he was so happy.

The young man chuckled and said, "I also prefer buildings. Let's talk to Dad about it tonight."

The second brother nodded, "Okay."

......

On the other side, Li Fugui, who had just returned home, quickly called his wife, children, father and mother to the main room.

"Wife, I just checked. It costs 280 yuan to build a two-story building on three foundations. The main house of the courtyard is 60 yuan, and the wing is 30 yuan. The three main houses plus four wing are 300 yuan in total. If there are fewer wing rooms, it will cost less. Wife, do you think we should build a building or a courtyard?"

Li Fugui's wife Wang Chunlan was silently calculating the accounts in her mind and didn't say anything.

Wang Chunlan works at a breeding farm and earns the majority of the family's income, so she has a lot of say at home.

"Dad, I like buildings. That building is so beautiful." Li Fugui's eldest daughter said with a smile.

"I like it too, I like it too." The little daughter echoed excitedly.

Listening to her two daughters' words, Wang Chunlan became even more conflicted.

She also likes buildings, but when she thinks about the price, she hesitates.

Mrs. Li, Mr. Li and his daughter-in-law had similar ideas.

Mrs. Li: "Isn't the cost of building a building a bit high? I see that it costs a lot of money to lay the foundation. If we build a courtyard house with fewer buildings, it won't cost so much."

Li Fugui repeated what Li Feng had just said.

"Although the foundation of a courtyard house is cheap, it requires a larger space. The foundation of a building is expensive, but it is not so expensive for other places, and it also saves space. The practicality of building a courtyard house on three foundations is much worse than that of building a two-story building. So a building is more practical."

Father Li: "It is true that a building is more suitable. Our land is small, with only three rooms. The yard is long enough but not wide enough. If we build a courtyard house, the wing rooms will probably be very crowded. A building is more suitable. Your mother and I will live on the first floor, and you will live on the second floor."

Wang Chunlan was convinced.

"Okay, then let's invest in buildings."

Hearing their mother's words, the two girls from the Li family were extremely happy.

They can live in buildings too.
