A foreign city, dear you

Sure enough, Ye Lian, who knew nothing about the decoration of the Xiyayuan house, really made a joke. Moreover, two strange things happened that gave Ye Lian a headache.

……

"Hello, is this Miss Ye?"

Ye Lian had just returned to her rental house and was about to make something to fill her stomach when she heard the phone ring.

It turned out to be a call from the security guard of Xiya Garden.

strangeness.

The security guards of Xiya Garden are two uncles, they are two brothers. Since there is only one building, the two uncles take turns being on duty, responsible for both property and security.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Ye Lian was confused. The security guard had never called me before. Why did he call me suddenly today?

"There must be something wrong with you," the security guard said in a loud voice, with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Other owners reported that your decoration workers stole other people's decoration materials."

"Isn't it? I just came back from there." Ye Lian didn't believe it.

"I don't know if it's true or not. If an owner reported it to me, I'll call you. You'd better come over and find out." The uncle's loud and short tone made Ye Lian feel that it was not appropriate to continue to argue.

"Okay, then I'll have something to eat and then go over." Ye Lian agreed, even though she was reluctant. Who wants to go out right after returning home?

Alas, decorating a house is so tiring.

Buying materials, running errands, and handling miscellaneous and small things. Now, there are reports of decoration workers stealing things...

As soon as the Spring Festival was over, Ye Lian began to organize decoration matters under the guidance of Cao Xueqian.

Ye Lian lamented how the differences between people are so big.

Also from the countryside, he knew nothing about decoration, but Cao Xueqian seemed to know everything, as if he had decorated a house before.

Cao Xueqian had already found the decoration team.

He found a fellow villager who was a contractor, and agreed that the labor would not be included in the materials. Not covering materials is also to save money. They are carrying so much debt.

Although the security was pressing hard, Ye Lian still wanted to seize the time to get something to eat.

Really hungry.

Just fill your stomach.

Crack the eggs, add salt, stir, put in the pan, add oil, and heat.

"Wow -" the egg liquid was poured into the pot.

……

Take the egg pancake out of the pan and add some noodles.

That’s it for one meal.

Fortunately, Lanshan had lunch at the kindergarten, so it was easy to get confused by herself.

I forgot to say that.

It's a new year again - 2005, the Year of the Monkey, and it's already March. Lanshan is about to be five years old, Cao Xueqian is about to be twenty-nine, and Ye Lian is about to enter the sad age of thirty.

Although they had no money during the Spring Festival, Ye Lian and her family still went back to their hometown to visit the elderly and relatives. After staying in my hometown for a few days, I came to Yancheng.

This year is another year of belt-tightening.

Ye Lian is always thinking about how to decorate the house in Xi Yayuan with the least amount of money.

Ye Lian had just finished eating the noodles, but before she could wash the dishes, the security guard called again to remind her.

"Come on, come on, come over now!" Ye Lian responded. After hanging up the phone, she hurried out the door.

What exactly was stolen? Whose house did you steal? Why steal? How do you know it was stolen by the decorator of my house?

Several questions flashed through Ye Lian's mind.

Alas, I don’t know if I can even it out.

It would be great if Cao Xueqian was free.

After the new year, Cao Xueqian is really busier than before. Therefore, Ye Lian had to bite the bullet when it came to decoration.

Ye Lian passed by a curtain shop that was clearing out goods.

The curtain store has been clearing out its stock for a while.

Yesterday, Ye Lian had already gone into the store to browse and found that the curtains were really cheap, so she picked out the cheapest ones and bought all the curtains she needed.

When buying curtains, Ye Lian saw some curtain tracks piled up in a corner of the store. The shop owner said they were all leftover and could no longer be used.

Ye Lian asked the shop owner if he could sell it to her cheaply.

The shop owner said that you have bought so many curtains from me. If you want them, just take them.

Ye Lian was overjoyed.

There is nothing wrong with the curtain tracks, except that they are all short. Ye Lian thought that she could take two pieces back and splice them together for use.

Alas, these are all some money-saving ideas forced by lack of money.

After getting a few discarded curtain tracks for nothing, Ye Lian felt very happy that she had taken advantage of it. She also thought about how she was suddenly so smart and thought of a clever way to splice the tracks together?

At that time, Ye Lian didn't know that the word "pattern" would become popular later. If she had known about it, she would have laughed at her lack of "pattern".

When she arrived at Xiya Garden, the security guard who called her was not there.

"The phone calls are so urgent, I'm here but I'm not here." Ye Lian thought as she got into the elevator and went to the fourteenth floor.

Today's decoration consists of two young men painting the walls.

They were two honest young men who didn't look like they could steal anything. Besides, how much can you sell stolen building materials for?

Ye Lian came to 14B, and the two young men painting the wall were not there either. I wonder where they went?

There are some materials such as sand, cement floor tiles and so on piled up in the house.

The walls are being puttyed, and the floor tiles have not yet been laid.

The cement worker didn't come today. The toilet is being waterproofed.

Ye Lian had never renovated a house before, so she didn't know that the bathroom needed to be waterproofed. There were other decoration issues that Ye Lian was also confused about.

That day, Ye Lian also made a joke.

"Boss boss, do you want the toilet to be sunk?" the cement worker asked Ye Lian before starting to decorate the toilet.

What? sink? What sinks? How to sink? Where to sink?

Ye Lian didn't understand, so she felt guilty and didn't dare to answer, for fear of being laughed at by the cement worker.

She excused herself and walked away, secretly calling Cao Xueqian to ask. Cao Xueqian explained to Ye Lian what "sinking the toilet is." and asked Ye Lian to tell the master that the toilet should be sunk.

"Am I stupid?" Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqian frustratedly.

"You are not stupid, you are as wise as a fool. You are trying to make full use of your husband's intelligence." Cao Xueqian smiled heartily on the phone.

Hearing Cao Xueqian's considerate and loving laughter, Ye Lian also smiled.

Great Wisdom Ruoyu?

Qian said she was as wise as she was foolish.

Qian always puts her "stupidity" in such a nice way. For many things in her that are obviously shortcomings, Qian always gives a better or even beautiful explanation.

In front of Qian, her inferiority and cowardice that sometimes pop up will always be well corrected and saved, thus making her brave and optimistic, although sometimes this positivity and optimism can last for a long time. Not long.
