Chapter 95: Confirming to repair the house and leaving Courtyard No. 7
Chapter 95: Confirming to repair the house and leaving Courtyard No.
Li Jiayi was also helpless! In later times, flush toilets were nothing.
But in this day and age, he doesn't even know if there is one.
"There is a toilet. I have a way to get it, but it's not cheap," said Captain Gao.
"Ah! Captain Gao, can you get a toilet?" Li Jiayi asked in surprise.
"Yes."
Come to think of it! Captain Gao is from a construction team under the Street Office.
He must know a lot of people, such as those who sell building materials, because the construction team belongs to the street office and has purchasing rights.
"Captain Gao, price is not an issue. Since you can get a toilet here, just repair it according to the blueprint."
"Okay, I'm fine here."
In the drawing by Li Jiayi, the attic has windows, but it is not like the attic seen in China in later generations.
Instead, it is similar to those in foreign countries, with a raised area on top and windows installed.
In this way, you don’t have to worry about the glass breaking.
"Oh! By the way, you don't need to worry about the beams for the house. I'll take care of that, but you'll have to worry about the rest."
"That's even better. I was originally worried about the wood."
There was no other way. According to what was drawn on the blueprint, Li Jiayi had very high requirements for the beams and other things.
"In that case, Captain Gao, how much do you think it will cost to repair all of them?"
"Let me calculate it!"
"can."
At this time, Director Xu quickly gave up his seat and said, "You can sit here."
"Thank you, director."
Captain Gao quickly calculated the price and looked up and said, "According to your drawing, it will cost about one thousand yuan."
"no problem."
The reason why it is so expensive is not only because of raising the height and building the attic, but mainly because Li Jiayi also wants to build a sauna room.
It is the same as the ones used by the Russians in rural areas in later generations, with a large gate to enter the courtyard and a door at the back.
Of course, if it were just these it wouldn't cost that much, there's also the sewage discharge from the bathroom.
Because it is far from the sewer, it takes a lot of time to do this.
After the toilet is installed, you also need to connect running water to the house.
Another thing is that Li Jiayi actually wanted to build a fireplace in the main room to burn firewood.
You have to know that this thing also requires a new flue, and the workload is not small anyway. So if you calculate it this way, one thousand yuan is really not a lot of money.
"How about this, Captain Gao? I'll give you 700 first, and after it's built, I'll give you the rest."
"Sure, I'm fine here."
Li Jiayi took the money directly out of his schoolbag. This scene made Director Xu sigh with emotion.
You know, he is only ten years old! Li Aimin and his wife are really generous, letting a child take all the money.
Fortunately, Director Xu didn’t know that the money originally belonged to Li Jiayi, otherwise he wouldn’t know how to describe his feelings.
Of course, she wouldn't know because no one would tell her, including Li Aimin.
Li Jiayi had prepared the wood for the beams, including the horizontal beams, long ago and had kept them in the space. He could just find time to take them out later.
"Captain Gao, please click." Li Jia handed over the money and said.
"it is good."
It’s better to count the money in person, otherwise it will be very troublesome, and Li Jiayi doesn’t want to have such trouble.
Captain Gao quickly counted the money and said, "It's exactly seven hundred." "Then when can we start, Captain Gao?"
Captain Gao thought for a moment and said, "It will be fine tomorrow, but we will just transport some materials tomorrow."
"Okay, I understand. From tomorrow on, our house will be handed over to you."
"Ok."
After confirming everything, Captain Gao left, and Li Jiayi said to Director Xu, "Aunt Xu, please help me get a letter of introduction! We are going to stay at the guesthouse today."
"You kid, aren't you going to start repairing from tomorrow? What guesthouse are you staying in today?"
"Aunt Xu! Let's clean up our house today. How can we live here?"
"Uh! It seems so. Okay! I'll open it for you right away."
At that time, without a letter of introduction, it was really difficult to move around! It can be said that there was no place to live.
Without a letter of introduction, not only can you not stay in a guesthouse, but even a hotel will not let you stay.
Director Xu soon prepared the letter of introduction. Holding the letter, Li Jiayi said quickly, "Aunt Xu, I'll leave first and won't disturb you at work."
"let's go!"
"Hey!"
Today is Sunday! My parents are also on vacation, but my mother is washing clothes at home.
As soon as Li Jiayi got home, he said, "Mom and Dad, we are going to live in a guesthouse from today on."
"Ah! Are we staying in a guesthouse today?" Ye Xin asked.
Although she was mentally prepared, it was too sudden because she was not ready yet.
"There's nothing we can do! The construction team will come to repair the house tomorrow, so we have to clean up today."
At this time, Li Aimin came out of the house and said, "Son! Are you sure we can finish cleaning up today?"
"Dad, you don't have to worry about this. We just need to pack up our daily necessities, and they will help pack up the rest and send it back after the house is repaired."
"Is that so? That shouldn't be a problem."
Of course Li Jiayi would not let others help him clean up, but he had a space! After his parents went to the reception, he could just put the things into the space.
In addition, he also had to take out the wood, beams, and crossbeams used for repairing the house in the space.
Since they had to stay in a guesthouse, the eldest and second sisters had no way to study, so they started to help with the packing.
There wasn't much to pack just for daily necessities, so I finished packing in less than an hour.
Li Jiayi handed the letter of introduction written by Director Xu to his father and said, "Dad, you can take the things to the guesthouse for Mom and sister first, and I will watch over them from now on."
"Well! I'll leave it to you then."
"Do not worry!"
After his parents and two sisters left, Li Jiayi came into the house and put away all the things in the house.
He also took out the beams and crossbeams in the space, but placed them all on the west side of the courtyard.
It's behind the east wing in the backyard. So you can't see it at all unless you go into the yard.
Once the construction team arrives, there will be no problem.
Li Jiayi originally thought that Captain Gao would bring people over tomorrow, but he didn't expect that Captain Gao would bring a batch of materials before noon.
There are also tools and other things. In this case, there is nothing for him to do.
Because once these things are delivered, the construction team will arrange people to come over, otherwise what if they are lost.
So at noon, after the people arranged by Captain Gao arrived, Li Jiayi prepared to go to the guesthouse.
