Looking at Jia Zhangshi's attitude of throwing a tantrum at the slightest disagreement, a phrase suddenly appeared in He Yuzhu's mind-remember to eat but not to fight.
"If it's not mine, could it be yours?
"Jia Zhang-shi, do you sleep every morning?
"Or do you continue to have a sweet dream every night after you wake up?”
He was really curious. Was there really anyone in this world who would be so short-sighted and forget to eat to such an extent?
But thinking about how she was Jia Zhangshi…
She was the Jia Zhangshi who knew that her son was going to work at the rolling mill, but she still offended the leader of the rolling mill for a few hundred yuan or fifteen yuan a month.
He Yuzhu felt relieved.
When he thought of the old woman in front of him, he didn't even have the mood to scold her.
She gave He Daqing a look that he could understand-close the door and let He Daqing go!
He Daqing understood and glanced at Jia Zhangshi." Jia Zhangshi, your son went to work?”
"Caw!"
It was like a combination of Silence, Blind, and Fatal Strike.
This casual sentence interrupted the Necromancer who was about to complete his class change.
At this moment, she finally realized that He Daqing had threatened her with Jia Dongxu's job this morning.
At this moment, she finally realized that the He father and son in front of her were people that her family could not afford to offend for the time being.
Jia Zhang-shi's face paled slightly when she thought about how her Dongxu still had to work at the rolling mill.
He glanced at He Daqing and snorted.
She mumbled something that no one could understand. She did not dare to make any more noise and followed the group of women who were leaving.
"What is it?"
Looking at Jia Zhang-shi's cursing back, He Daqing spat in disdain.
He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head. The group followed behind the crowd.
After locking the courtyard door, the few of them returned to He Daqing's room in the middle court.
After pouring some tea and drinking a cup of water, Liu Chengcai looked at He Yuzhu and said," Do you want to make do with this courtyard of yours, or are you preparing to renovate it?”
He Yuzhu said without hesitation," Grand Master.”
"If it's a major repair, to what extent are you prepared to repair it?
"On the surface? Or will it return to its original state?"
He Yuzhu thought for a moment and asked," Is it troublesome to restore it to its original state?”
"It's definitely more troublesome than just repairing it on the surface.
"However, although your courtyard looks a little dilapidated now, it hasn't been destroyed. The things that should have been there are still preserved.
"Therefore, it's much simpler to repair it on such a foundation than to build it directly.”
"Then please help me think of a way to fix it as well as possible.”
Liu Cheng turned his head and glanced at He Daqing. Seeing that he did not express his opinion, he nodded." Alright."”
After a pause, he continued," It's winter now. It's not a suitable season for construction.
"Of course, it's not impossible for you to start construction now.
"It's not that we can't start work in winter, but it's because the weather is freezing. Not only the ground, but also the materials are easy to freeze.
"Therefore, construction in winter is a waste of effort, materials, and people.
"Correspondingly, the working hours and cost will also be higher.
"Generally speaking, people don't want to spend this kind of money, so few people are willing to start construction in winter.”
He Yuzhu's eyes lit up. It didn't matter if it was a waste of time or materials. The most important thing was to repair it as soon as possible and let him move in.
"Then can you find a craftsman who is willing to take this job now?”
" That's easy to find." Liu Cheng nodded and said directly," It's winter, and not many families are willing to waste their labor materials to find someone to work for them."
"Therefore, once winter comes, most craftsmen will not be able to find work.
"And this craft relies on work to survive. If you can't get work in winter, there's no income.
"These craftsmen are now eager for someone to come and find them to work.
"However, each line has its own rules.
"It's hard to do work in winter. If you still want to pay the usual labor and material fees, then you definitely can't hire these craftsmen.
"They won't tell you clearly. They'll only tell you that it's too cold to do it.
"But to be honest, it's actually just one reason."
He Yuzhu understood and continued," You have to pay more?”
Liu Cheng nodded and gave him a look that said that he was a promising child.
He Yuzhu asked again," How much would it cost to repair my courtyard from the inside out and restore it to its original state?”
"You…"
Liu Cheng calculated in his heart." Not counting the furniture inside, just the house, yard, and garden.
"If you wait until spring, you can hire seven or eight experienced people. They will be able to repair it for you in half a month.
"A worker is usually only paid 1.11 or 1.20 yuan. The foreman is higher, so he pays 1.51 or 1.60 yuan.
"It's about ten yuan a day.
"Excluding the materials, the man-hour fee is 150 yuan. At most, it's about 200 yuan.
"But it's winter now. They definitely won't be willing to accept work at this price.
"Even with the weather, we can't do it so quickly.
"If we want to finish it in half a month, we probably need at least ten people.
"If everyone's working hours increase a little more, it'll probably reach 300 to 300.”
Less than 300?
So cheap?
He sighed in his heart that the prices were really cheap at this time. He Yuzhu said directly,
"Then if I pay more money to hire a few more craftsmen, can I finish it in a week?”
The few rooms he was staying in now had been changed to the committee.
Although He Daqing and Councilman Wang were close enough that they wouldn't come to ask them to move, it wasn't good for them to stay here forever.
Therefore, after He Daqing left, He Yuzhu was prepared to bring Rainwater to stay with his master for a few days.
He was holding a Teacher Appreciation Banquet next Sunday.
After finishing his apprenticeship, it would not be proper to stay at his master's house.
Thus, the most ideal situation would be for the courtyard to be cleaned up before his Teacher Appreciation Banquet.
When the time came, he would be able to move into the newly renovated courtyard with the rainwater.
Hearing his request, Liu Cheng was slightly stunned. He had only heard that people were thinking about how to save money. Why did this child take the initiative to increase the money?
He subconsciously looked at He Daqing, wanting to ask,'Aren't you going to do anything?'
Noticing Liu Cheng's gaze, He Daqing spread his hands." He has the final say in his courtyard.
"Don't look at his young age. This kid really doesn't lack the money to repair the courtyard.”
Zhu Zi's mother had so much dowry, but she didn't leave a single cent for him before she left. She secretly sent it all to this silly son.
It was precisely because he knew the value of the dowry that he thought of ways to get it out of his silly son's hands.
Even if he couldn't take out all of it, it would be a profit if he could take out a little.
In the end, because of this matter, he ended up getting himself involved.
Hearing his words, Liu Cheng didn't hesitate anymore. He said to He Yuzhu,
"I'm not too sure about this.
"When it comes to building a house, it's not like twice the number of people can definitely shorten the construction period by half.
"There are only so many people who can be used to build a house. It's not even certain if hiring three times the number of people can shorten the construction period by half.
"How about this? When I get back, I'll contact a few reliable and experienced people. Their ancestors are all in the Ministry of Works.
"Let's make an appointment later. I'll bring them over to take a look.
"When the time comes, the professionals will be able to explain to you the specific repair method, how long the construction period can be pushed, how much labor costs will be needed, and what materials will be used.”
" Sure," He Yuzhu agreed readily." Then Saturday afternoon it is. How about it?"
"I still have classes tomorrow and Saturday morning.
"My Teacher Appreciation Banquet is coming up soon, and I still have to send invitations to everyone on Sunday. I'm only a little free on Saturday afternoon.”
Liu Cheng nodded." Alright."
" Alright." After making an appointment and temporarily relieving himself of a worry, He Yuzhu said,"
"By the way, you've seen the old furniture in my courtyard. They're all old objects made of good materials.
"I have a friend outside who can get some good materials.
"I'm going to use these items to exchange for some wood from him.
"Later, I'll have to trouble you to make a few sets of new furniture according to the current specifications.”
" No problem." Liu Cheng couldn't hide the joy on his face when he heard that there was good wood for him to make furniture.
"I also know a few skilled people in the same trade. They are all friends left behind by their ancestors.
"As long as the material is good enough, we promise to give you an exact copy.”
