The Buddhist Cannon Fodder of Seventies [MTL]

Chapter 143 New Home

The newly built blue brick house is located less than ten meters away from the old house. Because the homestead was approved in the name of Gu's second brother, Gu Jianguo thought that the brothers could take care of each other if they lived close to each other, so he chose this location specifically.

Compared with the original house of the old Gu family, the new house is further away from the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. On the contrary, it is closer to the intersection of the production team leading to the town. This shows that Uncle Gu also put a lot of thought into it.

Gu Mingdong pulled Gu Liangchen and looked up at the brand new house.

The so-called blue bricks in the countryside are not actually blue, but a brick that turns gray-black when dry and bluish-black when wet.

Xiyuan Town does not have a kiln specifically for firing green bricks. Gu Laoer found a connection and transported these green bricks back from the neighboring Ling Township. For this purpose, he borrowed money and borrowed the transportation team's vehicle.

Although I have put a lot of thought into these bricks, it is worth it at first glance. The blue bricks are cleaner and neater than the mud bricks, with a natural and simple beauty. They are also resistant to moisture and heat, and have excellent air permeability and water absorption. , people living there are warm in winter and cool in summer.

The roof tiles are not red, but the common black tiles here. The craftsmanship of building the house is rough, but the final result is good, and it looks seamless.

In a few years, when red bricks, which are easier to bake, become popular, brightly colored red bricks will quickly encroach on the gray bricks, until they are completely replaced by reinforced concrete many years later.

By that time, if you want to build such an antique blue brick house, you will have to spend a lot of money.

The new house has just been completed. When I walked into the house, it was empty, but the temperature was much warmer than outside.

Gu Mingdong walked around. The only pity is that there is no second floor now. The masons in the countryside can only build a single floor, so the old Gu's blue brick house is also three rooms big, with a kitchen behind it and no height.

"Do you like it?" Gu Mingdong asked, touching his son's little head.

Gu Liangchen nodded, but then asked: "Dad, there are three rooms here, and after being separated, there are six rooms. Then I can't sleep with you in the future?"

Ever since they moved out of their two aunts' house, the twins would sleep with Gu Mingdong unless Gu Laoer was not at home.

Gu Mingdong laughed: "It's not easy for you to sleep with dad, just come here."

"Let the eldest brother sleep by himself. He's terrible at sleeping and keeps kicking me." Gu Liangchen snickered.

Gu Mingdong touched his chin and smiled: "When the furniture is ready, let the second brother bring Ah Xing to live here and help everyone warm the house."

Talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and a head came in from outside: "Are you two talking about me?"

Gu Mingdong greeted with a smile: "I'm talking about when you can move in."

The second brother Gu also liked the new house very much and walked around happily: "If we are willing to use the old beds and cabinets, we can move in before that year."

Gu Mingdong actually still had money on hand, but he had just built a new house. He immediately spent a large amount of money to buy furniture. It attracted too much attention, so he said, "That's okay. We can slowly replace it later."
