Chapter 221 House
Li Xiaoyan, who heard the word "eat", suddenly sat up from the bed and glanced at the environment she was familiar with. It turned out that she had arrived home.
"Coming soon!"
Li Xiaoyan went to draw water to wash her face, but found that there were two and a half buckets of water in the water tank.
"Second child, why is there so little water at home, is the water shortage serious?"
"Yeah, the wells in the county town basically don't have much water. The water we use now is supplied by the mother's factory. There is only one bucket a day, which can only be eaten by the family.
The well at home can draw two buckets of water. We wash our clothes in Hongxing Village in the suburbs. Are you not short of water in the provincial capital? "
"The provincial capital is not very obvious, but the tap water is supplied in different time periods, which has no impact on the daily life. After all, the terrain is flat and the water resources are abundant."
Li Xiaoyan scooped up half a scoop of water, poured it into the basin, washed her face and washed her hands, and then called the two little guys over to wash her face and wash her hands.
Although the two little guys had met Li Xiaoyan, it was two years ago, so they were not very impressed.
After hearing Li Xiaoyan's self-introduction, she shouted: "Auntie!"
When Father Li and Ma Li came back, they saw that she was washing the hands of the two little guys, and Ma Li took two steps forward.
"Boss, why are you so thin, haven't you received what I gave you? Why didn't you write to say something."
Father Li also stepped forward and asked, "Yes, how did you get back here?"
Li Xiaoyu told her parents about her experience at school again, which made them angry but had nowhere to vent.
"How can there be such a shameless person in this world!" Li Ma said angrily.
"There are so many shameless people in this world, there won't be just one or two, so let's take it as a lesson, and sympathize less with others in the future, and don't have to bury yourself."
"Dad, I know, not in the future."
"Everyone sit down to eat first, now eating is the biggest."
A large pot of rice porridge with fish fillets, steamed eggs, wild vegetables, and steamed red glutinous rice is on the table. Li Xiaoyan felt that she was even more hungry. She didn't expect that there were so many delicious food at home. It was better to be at home.
Li Xiaoyan's eyes did not escape Li's father, who had been paying attention to her. Now the whole family knew Xiao Yu'er's secret. He didn't know how the boss would behave when he found out.
The eldest will marry out in two years, and Father Li doesn't want her to bring this secret into the Yang family. If she accidentally leaks it out, wouldn't Xiao Yuer be very dangerous.
After thinking for a while, Father Li decided not to tell the boss. If she has complaints, she will come to herself!
Ren Chun and his wife stepped into the small courtyard of Li's house. The two children jumped over happily when they saw their parents who came to pick them up.
Ren Chun gave Li Xiaoyu the bag in his hand: "It's the dark fabric you want, and a piece of corduroy."
Li Weiguo held the two children on his arms one by one, and said to the children: "Are you being good today?"
"Very well-behaved, and his stomach is full." Yuanyuan stretched out her hand and slapped Li Weiguo's face.
"Dad, why don't you laugh? My aunt said it's called a coffin board."
When Li Xiaoyu heard Yuanyuan's words, she just felt that she was going to suffer. She really can't talk nonsense in front of children!
Li Weiguo was really laughed at by these two people, and even said that he was a coffin board.
"Li Xiaoyu, you said I'm a coffin board, um!"
"Brother-in-law, it's all a joke to make fun of children, don't take it seriously!"
Li Xiaoyu quickly stated that this person is getting worse and worse, and he has to get to the bottom of it, who is he!
Li Weiguo handed over the two children to Ren Chun, and he went to Father Li: "Fourth Uncle, discuss something with you."
Father Li was very curious and could consult with him about anything. The two were in completely different industries, and there was no communication at all at work.
"Fourth Uncle, today I have a fancy for a house. In the former Zhuangyuan Street, the house was a typical courtyard house with seven entrances.
But it is separated into seven separate yards. Now there are two yards left, one big and one small. The owner wants to exchange food. Do you have any ideas? "
"Do you want to buy a house?" Father Li was straight to the point.
Li Weiguo bowed his head sadly and said in a low voice, "I want to move out and live alone. I can't let their mothers be wronged any more."
"Yes, it's good to have this idea, then when are we going to see the house?"
"You can go now, the owner is eager to sell, and he lives in that small yard now."
Father Li said to Grandpa Li: "Dad, let's go to see the house, do you want to go?"
"You can just go and see, I can do anything!"
In the end, Father Li took the three children and went to Zhuangyuan Street with Li Weiguo.
The origin of Zhuangyuan Street is because during the Song Dynasty, there was a champion here, hence the name. Once prosperous, now things are different.
Most of the buildings still retain a small part of the original appearance at that time, and the ridges and corners of the roofs have a tendency to rise. There are obvious signs of later maintenance. The building on this street is the Zhuangyuan Mansion at that time, and it is also the most historic building in the county.
Now it has been divided into courtyards of different sizes. There are six gates in an alley, and the gates are scattered in the same alley.
Li Weiguo knocked on the innermost door and whispered to the old man who opened the door. Old Man He glanced at Li's father and the others and nodded to them.
Li Weiguo waved his hand and shouted: "Come in! He agreed to let us take a look first."
As Li Weiguo entered, the small yard is about 200 square meters, similar in layout to the Li family's small yard, but with a more refined shape and a larger open space in the middle of the yard. The owner must have maintained it well.
Such a small courtyard, in the former Zhuangyuan Mansion, was located in the farthest corner, with few rooms, so it should be a partial courtyard, and there must be very few people living there.
Enter through the side door of the side courtyard, and a large courtyard appears in front of you. In the 200-square-meter yard, the flowers in the surrounding flower beds have long since withered, leaving only broken branches and leaves.
The yard has been abandoned for a long time because it has been unoccupied for a long time, but as long as you clean it up, you can move in.
There are eleven rooms in total. The original house enhanced the indoor lighting and indoor space. The column reduction method and the column shifting method were adopted.
The room is very large, about 30 square meters, and the interior is bright. The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and the walls are made of blue bricks.
There is a well beside the kitchen, just need to rewash and it can be used.
Turning around the front yard, there is a back yard, which is about 100 square meters. There is also a well in the backyard with toilet and bathroom. These two courtyards are fully functional and suitable for the entire family of the Li family.
The area of the whole yard is 700 square meters. There are two yards, one big and one small. The big one can be used to practice kung fu, and the surrounding garden can be used to temporarily grow wild vegetables, which is really suitable.
Li Xiaoyu was very moved. Although her courtyard was in a good location, it was really too small, and she didn't even have a single room.
Father Li also likes this yard very much, as if it was tailor-made for his own family.
"Go, go and ask, how did you change it?"
Come to me for the monthly pass!
