Chapter 5 An expert can tell if there is any
"Brother Fu, next time you encounter this situation, you have to find a master first. The master will buy those materials. He knows the ins and outs, and it will definitely be cheaper than you."
When the middle-aged man with glasses heard this, he was immediately unhappy and his words were not right.
"Oh, you are walking too slowly. Get in the car and I will take you!"
Wu Wei shut up decisively.
And then he didn't bother to be polite with the other party. He lifted his legs and got on the back seat.
During the day, he politely rejected Qiao Yuyan. It was a kind of etiquette to keep a distance between men and women.
After all, she was the precious daughter of his master in his previous life.
He had to love and protect her.
But with the impatient man with glasses in front of him, there were no such rules.
Anyway, you told me to sit!
But Brother Fu's car is really solid.
Especially the frame of the back seat, which is so solid that it hurts my butt.
Fortunately, home is not far away, and it won't take long to get there.
Sister-in-law Zheng was mixing cement and sand in the yard.
Wu Wei saw the old sister-in-law's figure and immediately understood why Brother Fu was so uncomfortable sitting in the back seat.
It was probably changed on purpose.
However, when Wu Wei entered the door, the fat sister-in-law did not despise him for being young, and asked right away: "Brother, have you eaten? If not, I'll go get you something?"
What a nice person!
Since you mentioned it, Wu Wei scratched his head and couldn't refuse.
But if he agreed directly, Brother Fu would be unhappy.
He looked at the corner of the collapsed courtyard wall.
The two-meter-high courtyard wall collapsed for about five meters.
Except for the pillars at the corners, which were 24 wide, the other walls were 18 wide.
The broken bricks and tiles had been cleared out, revealing the half-high brick wall below.
"Brother Fu, sister-in-law, this amount of work will take at least half a day. I will work harder and try to finish it for you today, so you won't have to worry tomorrow. I can work faster if I fill my stomach."
The fat sister-in-law stuffed the shovel into her husband's hand and said, "Hurry up and mix the sand and cement. Once my brother is full, we will start working immediately. We will finish it today."
Brother Fu took the shovel and spit into his palm.
As a result, he accidentally spit too much, and immediately exposed the truth of his amateurism.
The cement and sand are not mixed evenly. After flushing with water, the mortar prepared is not good for wall construction.
In order to save a little money, the couple personally took on a lot of responsibilities.
Maybe this is the key to the collapse of the courtyard wall at home.
Otherwise, how can the red brick wall built with cement mortar fall so easily?
Seeing this, Wu Wei grabbed the shovel from Brother Fu's arms and spat into his palm with great momentum.
Then he started mixing with a shovel.
The technique and the skill made it possible to clearly see the progress of the mixing.
This showed that he was an expert.
Brother Fu pushed his glasses and had a different opinion of Wu Wei, a young man.
It turned out that the work of bricklaying and wall building was not something that anyone could do casually.
Thinking of this, he once boasted to his wife that even a dog could do it.
Now, wasn't he even worse than a dog?
Soon, the fat sister-in-law came out with five steamed buns and a bowl of vegetables.
When she saw that Wu Wei was mixing the cement and sand, she criticized her husband and said, "You said you sit in the office all day, and you didn't seize the opportunity to exercise!"
Then she said to Wu Wei, "Brother, come and eat. Let me do it over there."
Wu Wei saw that he had almost finished mixing.
He stuck the shovel into the cement and sand pile, washed his hands under the faucet in the yard, wiped his body randomly, took the steamed buns and the bowl of vegetables, squatted down and started to eat.
The bowl of corn paste he had for lunch, with a bucket of water, had already turned into several bubbles of urine after running around.
So facing the five big white steamed buns, Wu Wei finished four in one breath.
He could finish the remaining one if he wanted to.
But he had to leave a good impression on the host and not let people think that he ate everything without leaving anything.
But he finished the vegetables.
After all, even if he left half a bowl of the dishes, the host would probably throw it away, which would be a waste.
After eating and drinking, he had oil in his stomach.
Wu Wei felt full of energy.
On the other side, Brother Fu began to fetch water from the faucet tremblingly, preparing to mix cement and sand.
The fat sister-in-law here just complained that he was slow.
These two "small workers", one has no brains, the other has no strength.
Together, they are not as good as a small worker.
Wu Wei saw that it was getting dark, and he could not wait any longer, so he could only take the circle of water pipes in the corner, connect it to the faucet, and twist it with pliers and lead wire.
In this way, when the faucet is turned on, the water is directly poured on the fully mixed cement and sand.
Then he handed the water pipe to Brother Fu, and Wu Wei took the shovel from the fat sister-in-law and began to mix the cement and sand weir from the inside to the outside, in circles, into the water vortex in the middle.
Seeing that the water was almost poured, Wu Wei directly commanded: "Turn off the faucet."
It is definitely a waste of talent to ask a master bricklayer to do this.
But the owner has no objection, so Wu Wei doesn't mind.
Anyway, he is doing the work of a small worker, and he still gets the wages of a master worker.
The same thing, in the eyes of Brother Fu and his wife, is a different feeling.
This young man is a good person.
Not only does he have skills, but he is also not arrogant.
In the past, those big workers were used to being ordered around and would never do such a thing by themselves.
Soon, the cement mortar was mixed.
The fat sister-in-law also brought the bucket over.
The rest of the work of moving bricks and transporting mortar has little content.
Pure strength work.
Wu Wei stood at the corner of the wall, preparing to start erecting the twenty-four pillars.
As a result, Brother Fu, who is a good teacher, couldn't help but question: "Why start from the middle instead of building from both sides? And you didn't pull the thread or spill the lime, so you're not afraid of making my courtyard wall crooked?"
Wu Wei said directly to the fullest: "Brother Fu, it's really messed up. I won't charge you a penny."
"Why don't you come over and see if the two broken walls of your house are crooked?"
Although Brother Fu is nearsighted, he is not blind.
According to Wu Wei's instructions, the wall is indeed crooked, but it has not completely fallen down.
"What should we do?"
Wu Wei inserted the tile knife into the basin, cut out a piece of cement mortar and said: "First build the two walls straight from this corner, and then look at the joints. If it doesn't work, push it away." "
Brother Fu has nothing to say.
In the past, those bricklayers were not so particular, but this courtyard wall fell down twice in three years.
Today, this young man looks young and his actions are unusual.
Not only that, but he also has a very upright attitude and says whatever he wants.
Brother Fu was thinking, Wu Wei's men didn't stop.
The twenty-four-column wall grew taller visibly to the naked eye, and the tile blades were flying up and down, which was like flowing clouds and flowing water.
So much so that the couple responsible for moving bricks and carrying mortar couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and they kept going back and forth without resting for a moment.
