In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

Jiang Xiu had time to deal with the pile of fabrics.

The pile of cloth I bought was used for the summer cloth mosquito net and the clothes I made.

Overlocking, not finished yet.

Jiang Xiu didn't know how her sister-in-law planned to use the fabrics?

But the hemming can be done.

Start by sitting at the sewing machine and overlocking.

Jiang Wen came up and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a water tank first.

One water tank at home is not enough.

Need to add a few more.

When mixing ash and cement in the yard, two largest ones are needed to hold water.

So I went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Sure enough, there was only one largest one in the counter.

But the salesperson said there were still a dozen or so in the warehouse at the back.

So Jiang Wen asked for the three biggest masters.

Borrow a cart from the supply and marketing cooperative to drag it home.

Put it in the yard.

And return the cart.

I went to the cement factory, sand and gravel factory and brick factory, and arranged for the cement, sand and gravel that I had ordered to be delivered to my home this afternoon.

Finally, I rode the brickyard's tractor directly back home.

8000 bricks were pulled.

The aunties and aunties who were idle outside and had been sitting under the big willow tree outside the courtyard stopped sitting.

There are so many red bricks, it's obvious that they are used to build a house.

But for this group of elderly people.

The houses in the family compound are also new.

After all, Jiang Wen is only 19 years old this year and has only lived here for a little over 20 years.

Why do we need to renovate the house again?

Is there a water leak?

It’s not the rainy season yet.

Or a new daughter-in-law, do you have any requests?

A group of people who love to watch the fun.

Then I went to Jiang Wen’s house.

There is that passion.

Together with Jiang Wen and the masters from the brickyard, we unloaded these 8000 bricks.

No more than 50 pieces of it were broken.

As soon as the master from the brick factory left.

Trucks from the cement plant and the sand and gravel plant also arrived.

Unloaded 20 bags of cement.

One truck, half sand, half gravel.

The masters have all left.

No checkout.

Because Jiang Wen has a job, he is not afraid of defaulting on his debts.

And Jiang Wen may need more later, and the account will be settled in the end.

All the cement was moved to Jiang Xiu's room.

The others were placed in the yard, after all, they couldn’t be moved back into the room.

And this group of uncles and aunts were thinking.

The Jiang family wants to renovate their house.

The current wage is one dollar a day.

Anyone who doesn't work night shifts in this family compound can do this.

You can earn 50 cents by working for half a day.

You can earn one dollar for one day's work.

A group of people stood in the Jiang family yard, looking at Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen didn't promise anything, just said, "If you want to do it, you will do it. Come to my house tonight and sign up."

"I don't need many people either. Probably six to start with. We all know what kind of work it's going to be. Think it over and confirm it first. If you want to do it, come and tell me. I'll just register six people."

"We need to renovate these four rooms and the yard. It won't take more than a few days, just a few days."

This group of uncles and aunts were all anxious.

After finishing the night shift, I sleep at home.

They were all called out.

Sure enough, within 20 minutes, ten men came to the house.

Jiang Wen chose the ones he had heard of and could do the job.

I didn't choose the one who works in the same factory as me and works the night shift with me.

After all, I am not in good spirits and I mainly rely on them to keep alert during the night shift.

...

Brothers Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianshe are slaughtering pigs in a pig farm.

They kill in the early morning and get off work at dawn.

The craftsmanship of brothers Yang Lin and Yang Sen has been practiced for many years.

Very good at scraping walls and whitewashing.

At night, I work as a quality inspector in a light bulb factory.

Li Peng and Jiang Maocai, one of them works the night shift at a scrap collection station.

One works the night shift at the grain station.

Six people in total.

These people are praised by everyone for being good at their work.

It is scheduled to start work tomorrow, Thursday afternoon.

Jiang Huainan returned at 17:30.

The exams for second graders in elementary school are not particularly difficult. Basically, as long as you write enough, you can get 70 or 80 points.

The paper can be handed in as soon as it is finished, because children cannot sit still, but Jiang Huainan's hands have been hurting these two days, so he writes slowly.

As soon as Jiang Huainan entered the door, he saw a yard full of red bricks, sand and pebbles.

I knew it was time to start renovating the house.

Very happy.

After all, who doesn't like living in a nice house?

What's more, if I spend the money now, my second uncle won't withhold it later.

Now that the money has been spent, the three brothers can also enjoy it.

Jiang Huainan's thoughts were written all over his face; even Jiang Xiu could see it, not to mention Jiang Wen.

Gu Lixia came back from get off work and took a look.

A yard full of materials.

A little angry.

This person really won't listen to any advice.

He is also a man of action.

Although I admire Jiang Wen's work style, I still feel bad for him because he works so hard after the night shift.

But you can compensate the other person in other ways.

For example, four buckets of milk a day.

When you really start decorating the house.

Jiang Wen plans to decorate all four rooms at the same time.

In the evening, Jiang Xiu took the three children to stay at Aunt Cui's house for a few nights.

After all, I have always had a good relationship with Aunt Cui.

Lixia stayed in the room, but actually she was going into the space.

After all, the secrets that no one knows are the real big secrets.

Aunt Cui is a hospitable and helpful person, she will definitely be willing to do so.

So we started renovating the house on the afternoon of July 2nd.

In each room, except for bedding, try to stuff everything else into the cabinets.

Only Jiang Wen's bedding was left untouched in his room.

First, treat the base layer. The base layer of the wall has been used for 20 years and is relatively smooth.

Need to be processed first to become hairy.

Six people first used tools to remove the smooth surface, making the surface rough and uneven, and then wet the base layer.

Then start hanging vertical squares to find the rules, and hang the plumb line from top to bottom on the edges of the wall and doors and windows.

After it stops shaking, mark the intervertebral area, then follow the horizontal direction of the vertical line and use the Pythagorean theorem to make a right angle to find the range of the plaster layer.

Start with the first coat, using 1:3 cement mortar.

The thickness of each piece is kept between five and seven millimeters, and both the layers and the middle need to find the mid-frequency and value.

I brushed it twice in total.

After the ground floor construction is completed, seal the gaps around the doors and windows.

Start applying the surface mortar.

The thickness of the surface mortar is 1 to 3.5, which is also five centimeters to eight millimeters.

The last step is to maintain the cement wall, prevent it from being exposed to the sun, and spray water in time to prevent the wall from drying out too quickly and causing cracks.

On the afternoon of July 3rd, we started working on the two rooms on the left.

The kitchen cupboards were also moved to the middle of the floor.

The walls of the two rooms were finished in one afternoon.

All the things needed at night, such as bedding and chamber pots, were moved to Aunt Cui's room.

You need to wait 10 to 15 days.

Only then can you scrape the white one.

Then we started to pave the yard according to the drawing drawn by Gu Lixia.

The door also needs to be replaced.

Now the wooden gate is thin and tall. It has been more than 20 years and is in a dilapidated state.

The yard was paved in just one morning, but not the entire yard was paved.

Gu Lixia had already planned the divisions, including grape trellises, strawberry area, potato area, sweet potato and vegetable plots.

There are also shower rooms, goose houses, coal sheds, firewood sheds, and toilets for men and women.
