Chapter 83: Discussion on house renovation and plans for adding one
The ceramic bowl used for kneading the dough was bought by Li Jiayi from outside. Ye Xin fell in love with it after using it once.
In their family, except for Li Jiayi, everyone has to serve their own meals, and Ye Xin serves Li Jiayi's meals.
The reason for this is that Ye Xin wants to give him the best.
To be honest, there's really no need.
It was okay before, but now our family has no shortage of meat. It might be a habit we have developed.
Seeing his mother picking up the bowl to serve himself rice, Li Jiayi quickly stopped her and said, "Mom, I'll do it myself!"
Ye Xin was stunned for a moment, glanced at Li Jiayi, then looked at her husband and daughter, handed him the bowl and said, "Okay, serve yourself!"
Li Jiayi took the bowl and served it directly without caring whether there was meat in it or not.
After finishing his meal, Li Jiayi put down his bowl and said, "Mom and Dad, I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter, son?" Ye Xin asked.
"It's like this, I want to renovate our house." Li Jiayi scratched his head and said.
"Cleaning the house? Isn't our house in good condition? Why do we need to clean it up?" Ye Xin asked puzzledly.
"Mom, it's like this. Our house is a replica of a courtyard house. It's quite tall. I want to make it a little taller and build a loft on top."
Li Jia's house is indeed quite tall, about 12 feet from the ground to the eaves.
One zhang is ten feet, and twelve zhang is twelve feet, which is exactly four meters high.
The house is a gable-shaped tiled house with a ridge, and the top is at least one and a half meters high.
There is no need to raise the height too much. There will be absolutely no problem in making the house with a loft, and it will not appear that the floor is low.
"Build a loft?"
"Well! In this case, I don't have to live in the wing room anymore. I can just live in the attic."
"Repair it. It must be repaired." Upon hearing that Li Jiayi no longer had to live in the wing room and could live in the renovated attic, Ye Xin made the decision immediately.
This made Li Aimin speechless. He was sure that if it was he who proposed it, let alone repair it, it would be good enough if he was not scolded.
"Mom, leave the house repair to me! I'll find someone, and I've also drawn the blueprints so I can communicate with the people who are going to repair the house when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Just do whatever you want."
"Yeah!" Li Jia nodded.
But he was not talking nonsense, he really drew the blueprints. He not only drew how to build the house, but also how to add a bathroom to the house.
Li Jiayi was really fed up with having to run outside the yard to go to the toilet. The stench was terrible in the summer and his butt was frozen in the winter.
However, regarding the toilet repair, we need to discuss with the person who is renovating the house to see how to repair it better. At the very least, it should be built in the yard.
There was no way, because he didn't know whether there were toilets in this era. It would be better if there were, and he could install it in the house.
If not, we can only build a toilet in the yard. After all, if there is no toilet, it will smell too bad if we build it in the house.
Now that the decision has been made, there is nothing more to say. Just go back to your room and go to sleep.
After locking the door from the inside, Li Jiayi entered the space.
It’s still the same old rules, collect what can be collected, and slaughter some of the chickens, ducks, geese and pigs that can be sold.
Harvest the ripe wheat and plant it again.
The same goes for the vegetable garden. The pumpkins are ready to be picked. Leave the ripe pumpkin seeds and put the rest into the feed box.
Then replant the pumpkins.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Li Jiayi prepared to take a shower and go to bed.
"Hey, why is it still growing?" Li Jiayi said in surprise as he looked at the bees flying around.
These bees have grown a lot bigger than when they were first collected, and are now as big as horsetails.
Looking at the beehive again, the lids have fallen to the ground. They must have been squeezed off!
Not only did the bees grow larger, but the hive also grew larger, and this small hive could no longer be used.
As soon as Li Jiayi thought of this, two big trees on the back hill broke off from their roots and flew towards the courtyard. In an instant, the branches and tops of the trees turned into a pile of firewood, neatly stacked in a corner of the courtyard.
The big tree turned into pieces of boards, and these boards soon turned into a huge beehive.
The beehive is two meters high, two meters wide and four meters long, and is placed at the foot of the wall on the left side of the courtyard.
I don’t know if it’s because of the new nest, but these bees didn’t fly over there, but instead flew back to the old nest.
Li Jiayi shook his head, took out the old nest, enlarged and lengthened it, and put it in the new beehive.
But even so, no bees came over. But he didn't need to worry about it anymore because they would soon adapt.
After collecting some more Lingquan tea and putting it into the static space, Li Jiayi went to take a shower.
Silent all night.
In the morning, I still get up and do some boxing, then drink a bellyful of spiritual spring water and take a shower before coming out of the space.
"Mom, good morning."
"Good morning, son. Why are you up so early today?"
Li Jiayi glanced at his mother and said, "It's getting late. The nights are just getting longer now."
"Okay!" Obviously Ye Xin had forgotten this and still thought it happened in the past!
"Then wash up quickly!"
"Ok!"
Before eight o'clock in the morning, Li Jiayi and his elder sister arrived at school. Since they were not in the same class, they went their separate ways when they arrived at school.
Soon he arrived at the class, Class 1, Grade 1, Junior High School, and sat down.
"Li Jiayi, you came a little late today!" the little black fat man said in a low voice beside him.
"Has class started yet?"
"No." The little black fat man shook his head.
"If there is no class, why am I late?"
The little black fat man scratched his head and said, "It seems so! I came too early."
Li Jiayi would never come to school so early! Even if he was just strolling on the road, he would never come so early.
It's really boring to come to school so early.
"By the way, Guo Detie, do you have an older brother or a younger brother?" Li Jiayi asked.
"No! I do have two older sisters and a younger sister."
Although he didn't understand why Li Jiayi asked this, the little black fat man still told him the truth.
"It shouldn't be!"
After saying this, Li Jiayi thought about it and felt that the time didn't seem to match, so there was no connection at all.
"What shouldn't be done?" asked the little black fat man.
"Oh! Nothing."
Just at this moment, the school bell rang. This was not the electric bell of later generations, but a small bell.
There is an iron lump inside and a rope underneath. If you grab the rope and pull it to one side, the bell will ring.
The rhythm of the bell is used to determine whether it is the start or end of get out of class, or when school is over.
He did this when he was in elementary school, so he is not unfamiliar with this stuff.
Classes officially start at 8:15. Each class is 45 minutes long, with a 15-minute break in between before continuing with class.
There are more class hours in junior high school than in elementary school, with four classes in the morning and four classes in the afternoon, mainly because there are too many courses.
