The couple made a living in the 1950s

The next day, Bai Ye put breakfast on the dining table and walked to the bedside, "Wife, get up and eat."

The curtains at home are still a piece of thin cloth. The sunlight pouring in is now blocked by him.

Lin Yu opened her eyes with a smile, put her hands on Bai Ye's hands, and sat up with the help.

She smiled at A Ye who helped her put on her shoes, with white and slender fingers and gentle temperament.

When her A Ye was cold all over, it was most in line with the poem.

"The man on the street is like jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world"

Gentle, cold and handsome.

Bai Ye looked up and saw his little wife smiling.

He stretched out his hand and gently carried her to the dining table to sit down.

He also sat beside her and turned his head slightly to meet her eyes.

"The builder introduced by the Housing Management Office yesterday said that his ancestors had built a palace."

"After dinner, we will go to him to talk about the house building, so as not to affect the quality of the house after the temperature drops."

Lin Manyu nodded in agreement while eating eggs.

In Nanluoguxiang, Bai Ye led Lin Manyu to walk from afar.

The two of them walked around and came to the gate of a courtyard.

As soon as they entered the door, they met someone walking towards them.

Bai Ye took a few steps forward and leaned forward slightly.

"Grandpa, does Master Lei, who builds the house, live in this yard?"

The old man raised his eyes, "Do you want to build a house or repair it?"

Bai Ye, "We build a house."

Master Lei, "I am the person you are looking for. I was originally going to go to the Housing Management Office. Now that I meet you, I will go to the house with you first."

"If you decide to build a house, the homeowner must go to the Housing Management Office with the contractor to register, so I don't have to go to the Housing Management Office a second time."

Now in the new home on Yandaixie Street.

Master Lei, holding the building drawings handed to him by Bai Ye, walked around the house a few times.

Came to Bai Ye.

"My grandfather used to build gardens for the previous dynasty."

"I was exposed to Western architectural methods."

"I have been studying the hand-written notes he left behind. A few years ago, I went to Shen City to participate in the construction of an old house."

"According to the requirements of the gentleman, the main structure of the house is made of reinforced concrete as you said."

"Then use solid wood to wrap the pillars and beams, and make the four styles of ancient buildings according to the architecture of the previous dynasty."

"Building in this way is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and more people will be hired to complete it by the end of September."

Bai Ye nodded, "How much does it cost if we use red pine wood, wood wrapping, blue bricks, and blue tiles?"

Master Lei, "You don't have to worry about our food and drink. One big yellow croaker, one small yellow croaker and 20,000 French francs."

Bai Ye, "Okay, after the start of work, I will give you a small yellow croaker as a deposit. I also want to make a set of red pine furniture."

Master Lei nodded, "I will give you the address later. You can go find him. His ancestors made imperial furniture. Our two families are old acquaintances."

The three of them walked out while talking.

Master Lei, "If you had come to me a month later, I might not have been able to take this job."

"Most of the brothers working with me now are from the city of Beijing who fled there. After surrendering, everyone has to go back to their hometown to look for their relatives."

"I am sixty years old this year, and my children are all in Shen City. They have always hoped that I would go there to live in retirement."

Bai Ye's eyes flickered, "The old man is blessed, and his children are filial."

Lin Yuyu and Bai Ye followed Master Lei to the Housing Administration Office to complete the house registration.

Then they strolled to Dong'an Market.

Lin Yu held Bai Ye's hand, "plus the building materials and glass that need to be taken out of the space."

"The cost of building our house is really not low."

"Building the house like this will ensure that our living environment will not be bad in the future."

"If we use traditional brick and wood structures to build houses, the later maintenance costs will not be low."

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will have to live in this house for at least 32 years."

"If we make major repairs to the house at that time, it will be easily noticed. Minor repairs will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause."

While talking, Bai Ye walked forward in coordination with his wife.

"Yeah," Lin Yu hugged his arm and nodded.

"Now tap water has not yet been introduced to the household. Ordinary families still use kerosene lamps. What should we do with water and electricity in our home in the future?"

Looking at the few people around, Bai Ye couldn't help but reach out and pinch his wife's nose.

"The water pipes and wires needed at home should be laid out and piped according to the methods of later generations. I can do this myself."

"When the time comes, I will install running water, lights, switches, wash basins and flush toilets in the bathroom."

"When the country allows water and electricity to be connected to the courtyards, we can use them directly."

Lin Yu, "I don't want to install main lights in the house. We have them in each room.How about installing a wall lamp at the head of the bed and a wall lamp next to the desk? "

The two of them did not stop, Bai Ye looked at his wife.

"Install a wall lamp next to the dressing table."

He turned his head and saw that she had been looking down, and he could not see her expression.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while.

"Have you forgotten, Hanhan, when I took out the original things in my space."

"If it is now in production, it will automatically change the outer packaging of products of this era."

"I have tried the materials needed for building and decorating houses. This era has them all. The materials we use to build houses have their sources."

Bai Ye, "And we may not be able to touch power in a dozen years."

Lin Hanyu glared when she heard him say this.

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, but did not speak and just looked at her with his lips pursed.

Lin Hanyu met his gaze.

"Aye, after those ten years, let's try to find a way to buy all the courtyard houses. ”

“I like this big courtyard so much. If we don’t find a better courtyard by then, we will use it as our ancestral home.”

“It will be passed down to future generations, just like the old houses of the Bai and Lin families.”

As they talked, they walked into the Dong’an Market. Going in from the north gate and turning left is Donglaishun.

In the Donglaishun restaurant, Lin Yuyu looked at the shabu-shabu mutton on the table, drooling.

Each slice of shabu-shabu mutton on the plate was a perfect pink.

The mutton slices were as thin as paper, and the mutton rolled gently in the boiling copper pot, with fragrance everywhere.

Bai Ye, “Try the tripe.”

Lin Yuyu picked up the extra tripe in the bowl, lightly dipped it in sesame sauce, and put it in his mouth again, squinting his eyes in enjoyment.

“Aye, we will also buy a copper hot pot later, and we should also stock up on more sesame sauce from the time-honored brand.”

“When you can’t come to eat in the future, just have a hot pot at home. "

"Okay" Bai Ye looked up at her lovingly, "After dinner, we'll go buy some."

At night, Lin Manyu ate strawberries while watching Bai Ye calculate the amount of building materials under the kerosene lamp, "Eat strawberries."

Bai Ye swallowed the strawberries that Lin Manyu fed him with a gentle expression, and the movement of his pen did not stop.

The next day, after the two people who worked in the yard went out, they also went out to an abandoned yard, which was in tatters.

Fortunately, the weeds were not even knee-high, and the two looked around inside and outside.

After making sure that there was no one in the yard, they walked to the front street.

"We can know this yard thanks to the guy who helped us pull the coal briquettes last time."

Lin Manyu muttered softly, "Old fox, it was obviously you who led the inquiry. "

Bai Ye raised his hand and touched her long hair, his deep pupils glowing faintly.

When they arrived at Qianmen Street, it was very busy.

People who wanted to find odd jobs were still wandering around here.

Bai Ye led Lin Manyu and walked towards a tough guy with a cart beside him.
