Siheyuan: a hole in the sky with you

"Master, do you like to line up outside to use the toilet every day? The smell there is not very good!" Zhou Jianguo asked with a smile.

"Uh..." The old man was stunned. How could he like to line up outside to go to the toilet every day? But isn't everyone like this? Therefore, the old man never thought in his heart that he could actually do it by himself.

Build a toilet.

"Jianguo, when you say this, I'm a little moved," the elder said with a smile.

He was indeed moved. If Zhou Jianguo hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have thought of this and wouldn't have any knots in his heart. But now that Zhou Jianguo mentioned it like this, the elder felt a knot in his heart.

Recalling the smell of the toilet and the feeling of waiting in line, the old man felt very unhappy now.

Think about it again, if the toilet is built, I will no longer have to rush in every day before dawn (not a typo), just to avoid queuing when going to the toilet, let alone smelling those 'complex' things while queuing

The smell makes me sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and I can go to the toilet whenever I want. The old man is very excited.

"Okay, I will handle this matter, and I will go directly to the factory to find it." The first uncle agreed. This matter was not difficult for him, and it was just a matter of words.

"That's good, this matter will trouble you." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.

"What's the trouble? If it weren't for Jianguo's reminder, I wouldn't have thought of such a good thing." The first man said with a smile.

By building a dedicated toilet, not only do you no longer have to queue outside to go to the toilet, but you also don’t have to worry about frostbite on your buttocks in the winter, which is a good thing within a good thing.

"Build a toilet? Jianguo, you want to build a toilet, aren't there ones outside?" Lou Xiao'e came in shaking the water droplets on her hands with a puzzled look on her face. She had just heard the ending.

"Yeah, I'm going to build a few toilets. After all, it's too inconvenient to line up outside to go to the toilet, especially in winter when it's too cold. So, I'm thinking about building a toilet. That way, going to the toilet will be very convenient.

Yes." Zhou Jianguo explained.

"This is good, this is good. To be honest, when I first came to this yard, what I hated the most was going to the toilet. I had to queue up every time, and the smell..."

"Sister Xiao'e, stop talking, we have just had dinner." Zhou Jianguo looked at Lou Xiao'e with disgust.

Lou Xiao'e stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and did not continue talking.

"Master, count me in when the time comes." Lou Xiao'e said to the master.

"Okay, I'll count you in." The first man nodded. It's all a matter of one sentence anyway, and if you add one more, you'll get one more.

"Sister Xiao'e, can you get cement?" Zhou Jianguo asked. Cement is indispensable for building toilets.

"Jianguo, don't worry, we won't need much cement to build the toilet. I'll figure it out when the time comes." The old man took over the job and prepared to take over the job of making cement.

"Master, if you only build one, it really won't use much cement, but I have to build three here. Plus your own, Master, and Sister Xiao'e's, we need a lot of cement." Zhou Jianguo

A quick reminder.

"Jianguo, you want to build three?" The old man was stunned. One would be enough. Why do you need three more?

"Master, one for grandma, one for me, and one for Yuyu, exactly three."

"..." The old man was stunned. He couldn't believe that Zhou Jianguo actually wanted to help the old lady and Yu Yu build one. At this moment, the old man's heart was really sad. He was extremely sad.

Regret, regret not treating Zhou Jianguo well before.

Let’s not talk about Yuyu. She is Zhou Jianguo’s future wife. Zhou Jianguo should build one for her. The problem lies with the old lady.

The old man never expected that Zhou Jianguo would want to build a separate toilet for the old lady. He obviously regarded the old lady as his own grandmother. Otherwise, how could Zhou Jianguo be so generous.

Even though it is just a toilet, if it really needs to be built, if it doesn’t cost one or two hundred yuan, don’t even think about building it.

This was one or two hundred yuan in the 1960s, not the one or two hundred yuan today. The one or two hundred yuan today is indeed not much, but in the 1960s, this amount of money was equivalent to more than a year's salary of a worker.

, and Zhou Jianguo didn't feel any heartache at all and just spent it on the old lady.

To put it bluntly, many biological sons do not treat their parents so well, so from this incident it can be seen that Zhou Jianguo is definitely a person who repays kindness.

"Hey, if I had known that this was the case, then if I had treated Zhou Jianguo well since childhood, I wouldn't have had to worry about old age."

Thinking of this, the elder's heart turned green with regret.

Zhou Jianguo didn't notice anything unusual about the first man. He calculated the amount of cement needed in his mind, and then said to Lou Xiao'e: "I have to build three toilets here, so at least five bags of cement are needed, plus the first man and sister Xiao'e."

My own needs are about ten bags of cement. Sister Xiao'e, ordinary people like us can't get so much cement, so this time, I need you to step in, sister Xiao'e. In our hospital, only sister Xiao'e has it.

We can get so much cement back."

"Ten packs of cement..." The old man was embarrassed when he heard that ten packs of cement were needed. He had some connections and there was no problem in getting one or two packs of cement. But if he wanted to get ten packs of cement, it was really difficult.

Very difficult.

(In the 1960s and 1970s, materials such as cement were also extremely scarce. If you wanted to buy in large quantities, you couldn't buy them at all.)

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the cement. Are ten packs enough? If not, I'll ask for more." Lou Xiao'e agreed directly and asked Zhou Jianguo if ten packs were enough. With her background, she could get more.

Some cements are really simple.

"Ten bags of cement is enough!" Zhou Jianguo said. When he just estimated, he had already overestimated. Ten bags of cement is enough.

"Sister Xiao'e, you have put in a lot of effort this time. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No, no trouble. Not to mention the big meal tonight, your idea alone is worth the cement." Lou Xiao'e said, indicating that Zhou Jianguo didn't need to be so polite.

"Well, I won't be polite, Sister Xiao'e." Zhou Jianguo picked up the teacup and gestured, and then said nothing more.

"Sister Xiao'e, I have also prepared a gift for you. I believe you will like it."

"Oh, what gift?" Lou Xiao'e looked curious.

If Lou Xiao'e wouldn't be so curious before today, there was really nothing curious about Zhou Jianguo before today, but after seeing Zhou Jianguo's true ability, Lou Xiao'e was really curious about the gift Zhou Jianguo mentioned.

Zhou Jianguo did not try to be mysterious and said directly: "I prepared a flush toilet for you, Sister Xiao'e. How about it? Sister Xiao'e, this gift from me is not bad."

"Flushing toilet?!" Lou Xiao'e shouted in surprise, "Jianguo, how did you get this flushing toilet? This thing is extremely rare even in foreign countries. Did you really get it?"

No wonder Lou Xiao'e was so surprised. It's the 1960s. Flushing toilets are only available abroad, and they are only for the rich. Because the price of flushing toilets in this era is extremely high, equivalent to the price of a car, so ordinary people

I really can't afford it.

Flushing toilets really became popular in the 1970s. In our case, it was only in the 1990s when the economy developed that they gradually became popular. In the 1960s, flushing toilets did not exist at all.

Lou Xiao'e knew this very well, that's why she was so surprised.

"Sister Xiao'e, of course I got it, otherwise how do you think I know about this flushing toilet?" Zhou Jianguo said with a hint of pride. In this era, flushing toilets are also a high technology, and ordinary people really can't get them.

"Are you...forget it, I won't ask, but I can't take advantage of you like this. I will give you three...no, five hundred yuan when the time comes.

, I also took advantage of you." Lou Xiao'e said directly. She originally wanted to ask Zhou Jianguo how he got this flush toilet, but she quickly put away this idea.

Zhou Jianguo's background may be stronger than hers, so it's better not to ask random questions to avoid any trouble later.

Their family already has enough troubles. If they cause some other troubles, haha...

"Five hundred yuan...hiss..."

After everyone else heard the figure of five hundred yuan, they all took a breath of cold air. They began to wonder in their hearts, what on earth is this flush toilet and why is it so valuable?

"Jianguo, what is this flush toilet you are talking about? It sounds like a toilet?" He Yuyu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yeah, it sounds like it's a toilet?" The eldest mother also looked confused.

The name "flush toilet" contains the word "toilet". Most people will think of toilet when they hear it. However, if it is just a toilet, why does it cost 500 yuan (500 yuan in the 1960s), so some people are confused.

.

"Sister Yuyu, Auntie, the flush toilet is actually a toilet." Zhou Jianguo explained quickly. He knew that if he didn't explain it, He Yuyu and the others would not know what they would think of it.

"Is it really a toilet?" He Yuyu's face was full of disbelief.

"Jianguo, please don't lie to us. What toilet costs five hundred yuan? Is it the toilet where the emperor sits?" Aunt Ma didn't believe it either. She thought Zhou Jianguo was lying to them.

"Rainwater, Auntie, although this flush toilet is not specially made for the emperor, its price is indeed very high. It has..." Zhou Jianguo began to explain, and also drew a flush toilet

The general drawing of the toilet allows everyone to understand it better.
