The couple made a living in the 1950s.

Chapter 5 Building a House 1

The next day, Bai Ye put breakfast on the dining table and walked to the bedside, "Wife, get up and eat."

The curtains at home are still made of thin cloth, and the sunlight that comes in is now blocked by him.

Lin Hanyu opened her eyes with a smile, placed her hands on the hands that Bai Ye extended to her, and used the force to sit up.

She smiled as she looked at A-ye who was helping her put on her shoes. He had fair, slender fingers and a gentle temperament.

When her A Ye was very cool, that line of poetry was most appropriate.

"The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world"

Gentle, yet cool and handsome.

Bai Ye looked up and saw his little wife smiling.

He reached out and gently carried her to the dining table and sat her down.

I sat next to her and turned my head slightly to meet her eyes.

"The builder introduced to me by the Housing Authority yesterday said that his ancestors had built a palace before."

"After dinner, we'll go talk to him about building the house, so that the quality of the house won't be affected if we build it after the temperature drops."

Lin Manyu nodded in agreement while eating eggs.

In Nanluoguxiang, Bai Ye was walking towards them holding Lin Manyu's hand.

The two of them walked around in circles until they arrived at the gate of a courtyard.

As I entered the door, I met someone walking towards me.

Bai Ye took a few steps forward and leaned forward slightly.

"Grandpa, does Master Lei, who built the house, live in this yard?"

The old man raised his eyes and said, "Are you going to build a house or repair it?"

Bai Ye, "Let's build a house."

Master Lei, "I am the person you are looking for. I was originally planning to go to the Housing Management Office, but now that I have met you, I will go with you to look at houses first."

"If you decide to build a house, the homeowner and the builder must go to the Housing Authority to register, so I don't have to go back a second time."

Now I am in my new home on Yandaixie Street.

Master Lei took the building drawings handed to him by Bai Ye and walked around the house several times.

Come in front of Bai Ye.

"My grandfather, when he built the gardens for the previous dynasty."

“I’ve been exposed to Western architectural styles.”

"I have been studying the hand-written notes he left behind. A few years ago, I even went to Shen City to participate in the construction of an old house."

"According to Mr.'s request, the main structure of the house is made of reinforced concrete as you said."

"Then we used solid wood to wrap the pillars and beams, and made the four styles of ancient buildings according to the architecture of the previous dynasty."

"It would be time-consuming and labor-intensive to build it this way. We would need to hire more people to complete it by the end of September."

Bai Ye nodded when he heard this. "How much does it cost if we use red pine wood, wood wrapping, green bricks, and green tiles?"

Master Lei, "You don't have to worry about our food and drink. One large yellow croaker, one small yellow croaker and 20,000 French francs."

Bai Ye, "Okay, after we start working, I'll give you a small yellow croaker as a deposit. I also want to make a set of red pine furniture."

Master Lei nodded and said, "I'll give you the address later. You can go find him. His ancestors made imperial furniture. Our two families are old acquaintances."

The three of them talked and walked out.

Master Lei, "If you had come to me a month later, I might not have been able to take this job."

"Most of the brothers who work together now are from the city where we fled back then. After surrendering, everyone will go back to their hometown to look for their relatives."

"I am 60 years old and my children are all in Shen City. They have always hoped that I would go there to retire."

Bai Ye's eyes flickered slightly, "Grandpa is blessed to have a filial child."

Lin Hanyu and Bai Ye followed Master Lei to complete the house registration at the Housing Management Office.

Just stroll to Dong'an Market.

Lin Hanyu took Bai Ye's hand and said, "Plus the building materials and glass that need to be taken out of the space."

"The cost of building our house is really not low."

"Building the house this way will ensure that our living environment is not bad in the future."

"If you use traditional brick and wood structures to build houses, the subsequent maintenance costs will not be low."

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will have to live in this house for at least thirty-two years."

"If we make major repairs to the house, it will be easily noticed, while minor repairs will only be a temporary solution and not a permanent cure."

Bai Ye walked forward in sync with his wife as he spoke.

"Yeah," Lin Hanyu hugged his arm and nodded.

"Tap water has not yet been connected to every household, and ordinary people still use kerosene lamps. How will we use water and electricity in the future?"

Seeing that there were not many people around, Bai Ye couldn't help but reach out and pinch his wife's nose.

"All the water pipes and wires needed at home should be laid out according to the methods of later generations. I can do this myself."

"I will install running water, lights, switches, the wash basin and flush toilet in the bathroom by then."

"When the government provides water and electricity to the courtyard house, we can use them directly."

Lin Yuyu, "I don't want to install a main light in the house. How about we install a wall lamp at the bedside in each room and a wall lamp next to the desk?"

The two of them didn't stop, and Bai Ye looked at his wife.

"Install a wall lamp next to the dressing table, too."

He turned around and saw that she had her head lowered, so he couldn't see her expression.

He bowed his head and pondered for a while.

"Have you forgotten, when I took out the things that were originally in my space?"

"If it had been put into production now, it would automatically be packaged in this era."

"I have tried the materials needed for building and decorating houses. They are all available in this era. The materials we use to build houses all have their origins."

Bai Ye, "And we may not be able to touch power in a dozen years."

When Lin Hanyu heard what he said, his eyes widened.

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and just looked at her with his lips pursed.

Lin Hanyu met his gaze.

"Aye, after those ten years have passed, let's try to find a way to buy all the courtyard houses."

"I love this big courtyard so much. If we don't find a better courtyard house by then, we will use it as our ancestral home."

"It will be passed down to future generations, just like the old houses of the Bai and Lin families."

As they were talking, they walked into Dong'an Market. Entering from the north gate and turning left, you will find Donglaishun.

In the Donglaishun Restaurant, Lin Manyu was drooling as he looked at the mutton hotpot on the table.

Every slice of shabu-shabu mutton on the plate was a perfect pink color.

The lamb slices were paper thin, and the lamb tumbled gently in the sizzling copper pot, filling the air with aroma.

Bai Ye, "Try the tripe."

Lin Hanyu picked up the extra tripe in the bowl, lightly dipped it in sesame sauce, put it back into his mouth, and squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

"Aye, we're going to buy a copper hot pot later, and we need to stock up on some old-fashioned sesame paste."

"When I can't come to eat in the future, I'll just have hot pot at home."

"Okay." Bai Ye looked up at her lovingly, "After dinner, we'll go buy it."

At night, Lin Manyu ate strawberries while watching Bai Ye calculating the amount of building materials under the kerosene lamp. "Eat strawberries."

Bai Ye swallowed the strawberry that Lin Hanyu fed him with a gentle expression, without stopping the movement of his pen.

The next day, after everyone who worked in the hospital had gone out.

I followed him out and came to a deserted yard, which was in a dilapidated state.

Fortunately, the weeds were not even higher than their knees, so the two of them looked from front to back, inside and out.

Make sure there is no one in the yard before heading towards the front street.

"We know about this yard thanks to the guy who helped us pull the coal briquettes last time."

Lin Yu muttered softly, "Old fox, it was you who led the questioning."

Bai Ye raised his hand and touched her long hair, his deep pupils faintly shimmering.

When they arrived at Qianmen Street, it was bustling with activity.

People who want to find odd jobs are still hanging around here.

Bai Ye took Lin Manyu's hand and walked towards a tough guy with a cart beside him.
