Chapter 101 The new home is repaired and the new home changes
The little black fat man didn't see it, but Li Jiayi was secretly happy.
Putting the blame on the fat guy, he makes a fortune in silence, how comfortable it is!
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of September. Today is the day we moved into our new home.
Li Jiayi originally thought that with so many people involved, it would take at most half a month to repair it, but he didn't expect it to take more than 20 days.
There is no formaldehyde in this era, so people can live in the house as long as it is dry.
The current house is about half a meter taller than other houses, with a total height of more than six meters.
It is three meters high at the bottom and more than three meters high at the top, but even so, the top is not as comfortable as it looks at the bottom.
There is no way, although the top is more than three meters high, it is only in the middle! The wall is only a little more than one meter high.
Previously, the distance from the ground to the eaves was four meters, and it was raised by half a meter to four and a half meters.
Apart from the three meters below, there is also a twenty-centimeter partition, which is what later generations called the floor.
Then there is only 1.3 meters left. Although according to Li Jiayi's current height, even 1.3 meters is acceptable, it would be a little depressing.
Fortunately, the window was relatively high, more than two meters high. When Li Jiayi stood in front of the window and looked out, he no longer felt depressed.
What's more, this created three extra rooms. Li Jiayi lived in the attic of the west room, which was above the rooms where his two sisters lived.
No one lives in the attic of the living room or the attic of the east room. My parents still like to live down there. In my mother's words, it's more down-to-earth.
The two bathrooms are in the east and west rooms on the first floor. The main room is relatively large, with one room being 24 square meters.
A bathroom of five or six square meters was separated, leaving us with about seventeen or eighteen square meters, which is completely sufficient.
There is no change in the living room, except that it feels not as high as before, everything else remains the same.
Of course, there are some changes, such as a fireplace on the wall that burns firewood.
In winter, when you burn firewood, the whole living room will be warm and you won’t feel cold at all.
The two wing rooms were not raised in height, only the beams were replaced, so there was absolutely no need to worry about them being broken by heavy snow.
A large house was rebuilt on the south side of the wing where Li Jiayi lived before, which was larger than the east wing.
This is the sauna house that Li Jiayi wanted to build. It can be said that it was built exactly like the rural areas of the Russians in later generations.
This thing can burn coal or firewood, and it is definitely comfortable to have it in the winter.
There are two large gasoline barrels in the outer half of the room, and you can burn fire underneath for heating. After taking a sauna, you can take a shower here.
Although it is not as convenient as showers in later generations, it is definitely good in that era.
Li Jiayi also wanted to make it a shower, but there was no way to get the water up there. He couldn't just heat the water and then put it on the top of the room!
It's easy in the summer, we can put two oil drums on it to dry in the sun, but it's really not possible in the winter.
To be honest, Li Jiayi was also curious about where Captain Gao got the oil barrel, because he really wanted this thing.
It’s best not to cut the top, but to keep it whole.
"This house is so nice!" Li Aimin looked it over from top to bottom and said with emotion.
"It's good, but it's too expensive." Ye Xin said with a frown.
She only now realized that it cost a thousand dollars to renovate the house, while she originally thought it would only cost two or three hundred dollars.
But it was too late to say anything now. The house had been repaired and even the money had been paid by her son. What else could she say?
"Oh, by the way, Dad, it's almost the 11th. People in the countryside are eating from a big pot now. Why don't you go to grandma's house to see her?"
"Yes! Of course I will. I'm going to use the cotton coupons you gave me last time. I'll use the remaining cotton coupons to make quilts, and I'll send the rest over."
"Ok!"
To be honest, Li Jiayi wanted to go, but he didn't have time because it was the National Day holiday and he had important things to do. "Oh! By the way, there is a cabinet in the room where I used to live. There are some cigarettes, alcohol, and a few bottles of sesame salt. You can bring some to grandma."
"Sesame salt?" My second sister squeezed in and asked.
"Uh!" Li Jiayi slapped his forehead. How could he forget about this foodie?
Sesame salt is a good thing! Just fry the sesame seeds, grind them a little, add fine salt and mix well.
If you put a little bit of it in your steamed buns, it will taste absolutely delicious.
"Son, where did you get the sesame salt?" Ye Xin also asked.
"Uh!"
I was only thinking about getting a few bottles of sesame salt for my grandma, and forgot that my family also needs it!
You should know that sesame represents oil. Although sesame salt is not oil, it is not much different.
This thing can be said to have the same properties as sesame paste, of course, it tastes much better than sesame paste.
"Mom, I'll get a few more bottles later. Let my dad take the ones in the cabinet to grandma."
Ye Xin said speechlessly: "I don't want to stay, I'm just curious where you got the sesame salt, you know, it's a good thing."
Sesame oil is everyone's favorite thing at any time and in any place, but it is not so easy to eat pure sesame oil in later generations.
"So that's what you're talking about! It's like this, I have a classmate whose father works in an oil mill."
"Is that so? Then, would it be troublesome for you to ask someone to help you get the sesame salt?"
"It's not a big deal. Everyone gets some benefits when they work! For example, the fat black guy in our class, his father is the workshop director of the meat processing factory, so he is as fat as a pig."
"You little brat, how can you say that about your classmate?" Ye Xin patted Li Jiayi on the back.
It's just like tickling.
"It's okay, we're at home and he can't hear it."
"It's not okay even if you can't hear it. No matter when or where you are, you can't speak ill of others behind their backs."
"I know, mom. I won't say it again."
Li Jiayi thought: Instead of talking behind his back, I can just say it to his face!
"Yes! That's right. You should have a good relationship with your classmates at school, so that when it comes to the critical moment, others can speak well of you."
"I understand." Li Jia nodded.
"Brother, when will you bring back the sesame salt?" the second sister asked at this time.
Li Jiayi slapped his forehead, not knowing what to say.
"You girl, all you do all day long is eat." Ye Xin patted Li Jialin on the head and said.
"Second sister, wait until school starts. I'll get it when school starts, and then I'll give you a bottle directly so you can eat it well."
In fact, Li Jiayi has a lot of this stuff in his space, but he just can't take it out.
Now I have found an excuse, and I can take it out slowly later. Although I can't take much, it will definitely be enough for the family to eat.
"Yes! Brother, this is what you said, you can't go back on your word."
"Don't worry, I won't regret it."
