Chapter 210 [210] Three Thousand

After the three of them finished discussing the decoration plan, it was already dark. Tao Yi took the initiative to invite Zhao Quan'an to Quanjude to eat roast duck. When Zhao Quan'an heard Quanjude, he was very happy and wanted to go, but when he looked at these two students, he couldn't speak!

"Big nephew (Zhao Quan'an is his uncle's friend), your kindness is appreciated. In this way, when the house is renovated in the future, you will invite your uncle to have a meal. It's not going to happen yet. I'm embarrassed to let you two children treat me to such a luxurious meal. In this way, we can just go to a state-owned restaurant to have a whole bowl of noodles. Uncle thinks this is great."

But when the people understood, Tao Yi had to agree. However, when he arrived at a state-owned hotel, he not only ordered five kilograms of pork, green onion dumplings, but also prepared two meat and two vegetables. Before leaving, he also brought Zhao Quan'an a bottle of wine and a box of cigarettes, which made Uncle Zhao smile and leave. He packed the dumplings and vegetables that had not been eaten, saying that he would give it to the child's wife.

This is life. Men who can think of their family members in their hearts are all good.

Zhuo Lin looked at Tao Yi with some admiration: "Okay, are you so good at doing things?"

"I've been leaving for several months. I'll definitely not be able to help with the decoration. Be kind to him. Maybe they can use snacks. But he is my uncle's friend. Even if he is greedy, he shouldn't be too much. As for you, you'll make some money. As long as it's not too much, as long as he does a good job, what if we turn a blind eye?"

The Zhuo family is not a stingy person, and Tao Yi is not that kind of person, so Zhuo Lin understands these principles very well, doesn't dislike them, and thinks it is reasonable.

When entering and leaving society, the first thing you need to learn is to be lively and treat people with a sincere attitude. Especially now in the early 1970s, most people have a simple and simple nature. If you are polite to others, they will be righteous to you. What you are afraid of is that people who are domineering with two small amounts of money in their hands. Those kinds of people often have no good ending.

It was almost nine o'clock after dinner. When the brother and sister returned home on tricycles, it was already half past ten. They were embarrassed to disturb the old couple. Just as they were about to stay, their grandparents heard the noise, "I'm back, why are you eating so late? Have you eaten?"

The brother and sister are very embarrassed to come, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I've made you worried,"

"Hey~ You're welcome, okay, I'll give you warm water on the stove. Wash it all and go to bed. I'll go into your house first!"

It's been very cold recently, and grandparents only dare to have stoves during the day. They sleep at night because of last year's incident, which scared the sequelae, so they put a few more kettles for the quilt, two hands, two feet, and one person hugged four. They just came over like that, especially when they were carrying it out in the morning, which was still warm. They all used this water to wash their faces and brush their teeth, which was very convenient.

Now, grandma has warmed Tao Yi's bed, so Zhuo Lin quickly boiled water and poured her four new kettles. This kettle is like a curling, it is bright red, it is a bit heavy when picked up, and it can also hold water. It is precisely because of the lot of water that it is guaranteed not to be cold all night.

After the brother and sister finished their hard work, it was almost eleven o'clock. The next day, they were going to go to the new house to start decoration, so they stopped selling the tofu brain. As school began, there were more students around them. Tao Yi planned to buy tickets tomorrow and set off to leave the capital at night.

Because of the fatigue of running around the day before, Zhuo Lin slept until the sun was shining. When she got up, Tao Yi had already ridden her bike out, while the old couple sat in the yard basking in the sun. It was obvious that she had been having breakfast for a while. When she was disguised, she was very embarrassed when she washed her face and brushed her teeth.

"Awaken? Your brother said he went to the shop and asked you to rest at home today. He said you can't help there, either. Didn't you start school the day after tomorrow? Do you have to go to school to dry the quilt today?"

After the old lady reminded her, Zhuo Lin remembered this incident. After eating the loving poached egg made by Grandma Hou for her, it was almost ten o'clock. At this time, the sun was already out, and it was a good time to dry the bedding.

Zhuo Lin went to school with her shoulder bag. Sure enough, many students had already come. If there were not enough places, they would take them directly to the playground, flower beds, and anyway, all the places that could be used were used.

When they entered the dormitory, Ge Dahong was able to come. Before Tian Yuanyuan and Zhou Qiqi came, Ge Dahong's bedding alone had already occupied the place on the balcony. Zhuo Lin considered that she would come tomorrow, so she simply took out the bedding from the closet and planned to carry it home to dry. Dahong saw this situation and quickly said.

"Or else you can put it here. If you have something to do, you can go and do it. I'll change it to yours at noon."

Zhuo Lin smiled and said, "No need for Dahong. If they come, they also need a place. I happened to have something to do in the past two days. I guess I will come here tomorrow afternoon. I will just take Grandma Hou's place and ask her to help me watch and dry it. There is a place at the door of my house. Look at our school, there are quilts everywhere and the location is short. I won't join in the fun. Let's talk again when I come back!"

He didn't get that much with Ge Dahong, so he carried the bedding back to Hou's house. When Grandma Hou saw it, she found a rope and tied it to two trees outside, and helped Zhuo Lin dry the bedding. Although Tao Yi said she didn't have to go there, Zhuo Lin felt that she was staying at home, so she went to buy potatoes and meat, made a basket of potato meat patties, and left a plate for the old couple. The rest were put in a basket, and took the basket to the bus and then took the subway. After struggling for an hour or two, she arrived at the shop in Wangfujing.

Today, Tao Yi has paid them 1,000 yuan in advance. The first step is to scrape walls, paint, lineups, ceilings, lamps, and then lay floor tiles, carpentry, paint, etc. If these tasks are fast, they can be completed in a month, and if they are slow, they can at most be one and a half months. This gives them enough time to prepare. After all, they can't use this house for the time being.

Now March is approaching, and before May Day, the house is almost ventilated and dry. After May Day comes, you can move in and open the business directly. I feel excited when I think about it.

The decoration technology in the 1970s was naturally not as good as that of later generations, and there were no white floor tiles. In this era, cement floors were popular, or some people directly laid out the red bricks. Tao Yi is worthy of being a reborn person, and I don’t know where to find the marble floor tiles of the colors that became popular in the 1990s. This kind of floor tiles are very dirt-resistant and can be directly mopped with mop. In this era, it is definitely at the forefront of fashion, and of course, the price is also quite beautiful.

One yuan for 80×80 is a dollar, and their house has about 320 square meters of floors. The price of the backyard is 120 square meters, which is not more than 450 square meters. This is what they just measured and is a little larger than the area of ​​the old man. It is not counted as the actual area in the yard. So this is more than worth it, it is like a cabbage. But then again, who can take out 15,000 yuan in cash at one time in this era?

So, in the eyes of others, a house that you think is a good deal may be astronomical?

A piece of floor tiles is 0.64 square meters, and 450 square meters will probably require about 700 floor tiles, which is 700 yuan.

It sounds really expensive, but if you lay the floor tiles, you can guarantee it for 20 or 30 years, which is not a loss. Especially the quality of this era is unmatched by later generations, so the brother and sister have maintained a consistent idea on this. No matter how expensive it is, they have to lay them. Not only do they have to lay floor tiles, but also wall tiles. If you want to look good on the outside of the house, you have to lay white wall tiles. To put it together, a thousand yuan is not necessarily enough.

The floor tiles alone cost so much money, cement, sand, wood, paint, etc. If you think about it carefully, you can’t afford to spend 3,000 yuan after decoration.

When Zhuo Lin arrived, the yard had already started loading and unloading cement and sand, and workers were shoveling the walls. It turned out that they did not let the furniture left by others, but placed it alone, covered it with white cloth, and finally made a fuss to ensure that it would not be dirty or messed up. It is not difficult to see from this that the people worked in detail. Seven or eight workers were seen on the spot. Zhao Quan'an was their leader. Although she was not very familiar with him, this man was a material for being a foreman. If he did it well, his future achievements would not be as low as possible.

"Why are you here?" Tao Yi was drawing drawings for Zhao Quan'an, telling while drawing them until he understood. There was a carpenter next to him listening. She came over after they finished speaking.

"I'll come here to check it out, and I brought you some potato cakes by the way. Uncle, everyone is tired, so stop to wash and taste it, the meat filling is!

"Oh, why are you so polite," said that, but when you smell the fragrance emitted from the basket, you can't help but praise: "Scent, it's so fragrant, okay, your skills are great!"

Zhao Quanan did not be polite to her and immediately called the people under her command to come and eat the cake. Zhuo Lin picked two out for Tao Yi and stuffed them into his hands alone.

"Have you bought the ticket? Why don't I buy it for you now?"

"No need, my uncle bought it for me. When I go over to say goodbye to them later, I can just take it on. Anyway, the trains are fixed, and I have brought all my things in the morning. Time is tight, so I haven't been with you anywhere. I don't know when this day will be the end!"

Zhuo Lin curled her lips: "You are a soldier, I am a doctor. In the future, there are few opportunities to be reunited."

Soldiers take obeying orders as their mission, and doctors save lives and help the wounded. Both professions are worthy of respect. Even if Tao Yi's jobs are technical in the future, it does not mean that he can retreat to the second line, because the country is developing and science and technology is improving, especially the major of digital control science engineering, which will play a crucial role in militarized management in the future.
