Rebirth 05, starting from never dusting

It was a rare visit to Baimai Mansion. In addition to accompanying Zhang Xuan to look at the house, Zhang Yi of course also had to check on the progress of the renovation of his own house.

Zhang Xuan followed over, intending to take a look at the decoration style of Zhang Yi's home and do some homework for the future decoration of his home.

There is a small sign hanging at the door of Room 302, which reads "Indoor decoration construction, operation time is 9:00-11:30, 14:00-17:30, we apologize for the inconvenience caused to you and your family. The decoration will be completed soon." There are still XX days.”

The countdown to "XX" days was handwritten. Zhang Yi glanced at it and saw that it would end in less than 20 days.

Before starting work after the holiday, my mother and eldest brother visited door to door with gifts.

On the day when the work officially started, the decoration team visited again with small gifts.

These days, it’s not surprising that many people are polite. Both the owners and the decoration company are very polite.

As a result, after the renovation started, even if there was an occasional noise that exceeded the standard, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs would be embarrassed to say anything.

When the two arrived, there was the sound of electric saws cutting wood inside.

Zhang Yi didn't bring the key and knocked on the door for a long time before the worker came to open the door.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang is here." The worker said with a smile.

Lao Hong and other decoration workers have basically met Zhang Yi.

"How many cabinets have you made?" Zhang Yi handed over a cigarette.

The worker took the cigarette, clamped it to his ear, and led Zhang Yi to the master bedroom.

There were two workers working inside. Zhang Yi handed the cigarettes to each other, and both workers thanked them politely.

The foreman said: "The two bedrooms are basically finished. The cabinet doors are being installed today. I originally wanted to ask Lao Hong whether to install track doors or double doors. Now that you are here, I can save the time to ask him."

"As long as it's the same as my elder brother's, I'm not particular about it," Zhang Yi said.

He does not have very high requirements for living conditions. Alas, it is all caused by the excessive stamina left behind by living in a board house on a construction site in his previous life.

He felt that as long as he had a house that was more comfortable than a house with a construction floor, it would be better.

Therefore, he basically didn't worry about the decoration style and comfort level. He could just make it the same as his elder brother's place.

Zhang Xuan asked: "Brother, where did you hire the decoration company? The work they did is really beautiful."

Zhang Yi said: "I was introduced by a friend. The work is not bad. The main reason is that I have no money after buying a house, otherwise I can decorate it better."

It is appropriate to cry about poverty in front of relatives to prevent them from thinking too much.

"You can't see anything here, let's go to the opposite side and have a look." Zhang Yi asked the foreman for the key to 301.

Zhang Yi asked the foreman for the renovation key of 301.

As soon as I opened the door, I immediately felt a cool breeze blowing in the room.

Zhang Yi nodded, well, at least the windows are open and the room is well ventilated.

Lao Hong made an agreement with the workers to open all the doors and windows of 301 during the day when he went to work, and close the doors and windows when he got off work.

The decoration of 301 has been completed, and the overall look is very comfortable. Zhang Xuan curiously looked at each room, and kept praising it while looking at it.

"That's great. The house I just looked at has the same layout as yours. With your decoration style and layout, how much does it cost to completely decorate it?"

Zhang Yi scratched his head and took a look at the cabinets, lamps, kitchen and bathroom, hardware, ceilings, floor tiles, etc., and estimated the cost price at about 50,000, and then added more than 10,000 labor.

"Probably around 60,000."

Zhang Xuan grinned when he heard the price. Spending 60,000 yuan on decoration is already a lot of money these days.

Just now he said he had no money after buying a house.

You still decorate it so well even if you have no money.

If you have money, you can't decorate it into a palace.

After complaining a little in his heart, Zhang Xuan asked: "Is there a cheaper one?"

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "There should be. The main thing is that the materials I use are slightly better. For example, these woods are all made of logs..."

Listening to Zhang Yi's explanation, Zhang Xuan felt like he was listening to a book from heaven and could only nod his head.

He had thought about it, and when he was renovating his house, he would have to ask Zhang Yi for help. After all, he was a professional.

"Oh, it's almost time to get off work before I know it. I have to go back and return the car quickly." Zhang Xuan said after looking at his watch.

He drove his work car out today. He had to return the car after get off work and then take the bus back to his hometown.

Zhang Yi said: "I will go back to the village today and I will take you with me."

Zhang Xuan said hurriedly: "Oh, no, no, I've troubled you enough today, I can just take the bus home."

"We said we were on our way, but you are still being polite to me. It seems that we brothers are too alienated."

Zhang Yi had said this, so Zhang Xuan naturally couldn't be more "condescending" and obediently rode Zhang Yi's car home.

When the eldest brother saw Zhang Yi coming back, he held up a dark object like a treasure.

"Brother, I've finished what you asked me to make. Let's see if it works."

Taking over the unusually abstract-looking "car phone holder" from his elder brother, Zhang Yi was speechless.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Try pretending to be at the air outlet!"

Seeing Zhang Yi in a daze, the elder brother took it directly, got into the passenger seat, and tinkered with it with pliers and a screwdriver.

"Okay!" After the elder brother finished tinkering, he put his mobile phone on it, shook it back and forth twice, and tightened the screws in the middle.

Zhang Yi leaned against the car door, dumbfounded.

Well, it’s my fault that Zhang Yi didn’t make it clear to his eldest brother. He relied entirely on his own imagination to make the phone holder not only abstract, but also very ugly. It was even inconvenient to disassemble. Even the way to fix the phone was with rubber bands. …

"Bring your phone here." The elder brother said.

Zhang Yi quickly handed it over, and the elder brother put the phone on and fixed it with a rubber band.

Because Zhang Yi's mobile phone was a bit small, the elder brother added two more rubber bands and finally fixed it firmly.

"How's it going?" the eldest brother said proudly.

"It's not bad." Zhang Yi grinned and said, "It's just a bit fiddly. I'll make a sketch for you later."

Today's mobile phones are all functional phones and do not yet have navigation functions, so everyone is not clear about the concept of a car mobile phone holder.

This thing will have to wait until smartphones become popular and everyone starts using mobile phones for navigation before it can be favored by the market on a large scale.

It seems that you can apply for a patent or something first, and let me practice it if you have nothing to do. When you get it right, you can sell it in an online store.

"You two, stop messing around, it's time to eat!" Mom came out of the kitchen and shouted.

Zhang Yi helped his mother carry the food into the house, and his father took out a bottle of Maotai from under the table. This bottle of wine was half the bottle left from the Lantern Festival.

"You've been drinking half a bottle of wine for several days, why haven't you finished it yet?" My mother complained when she saw this.

Zhang Yi said: "I remember there are two more boxes, right?"

"Such an expensive wine costs four to five hundred per bottle. It would be great to have a glass of wine every day and drink some every day."

Dad took a sip and seemed to have endless aftertaste.

"Then be tighter. I'll buy it for you when you run out." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Mom said: "Don't let your father get used to his bad habits and want to drink Maotai every day. Why don't you just dream about it!"

Dad said: "Hey, I just said casually that I will stop drinking after finishing half the bottle. The remaining two boxes will be used to entertain Xiaojun when he gets married."

"Pfft!" The eldest brother almost spit out his rice when he heard this. He waved his hands vigorously and said, "Dad, just keep it for us to drink alone."

He is not the richest man in a small county, but an ordinary demolished family. Who dares to get married with Maotai tables? That is not showing off wealth, it is trying to make someone look fat.

Totally unnecessary.

The family of five had just served their rice bowls when they heard noises coming from the yard.

"Xiaoyi doesn't have one at home!"

"It's third brother's house!" Upon hearing this voice, Dad quickly picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. He hid the Moutai bottle under the table and wiped his mouth.

"Here you are!" Zhang Yi hurried over to greet him, "Third uncle, Brother Xuan, why are you here? You haven't eaten yet. Come on, let's eat together."

Dad also came to the yard at this time and saw the third brother walking in front, followed by Zhang Xuan holding a box of liquor.

Dad said: "Come here, why don't you bring something with you? Honey, hurry up and cook some dishes."

"Okay, hurry up and sit down, Xiaojun, hurry up and get the dishes and chopsticks, wash a few wine glasses and come over." Mom arranged it in an orderly manner.

My sister-in-law also followed me to the kitchen to help.

Mom said: "Xiao Na, stop working and go back to the house to rest after dinner."

"Mom, it's okay. I feel uncomfortable resting all day long. It's easier to do some work." The sister-in-law helped with chopsticks, plates, wine glasses and other things.

In the room, my father and third uncle sat at the front, while Zhang Xuan, eldest brother, and Zhang Yi sat respectively according to their ages.

Zhang Yi took the bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses, and teacups from his sister-in-law and set them up for San Bo and Zhang Xuan.

The eldest brother immediately filled the two of them with wine and tea.

"Uncle, come and have a smoke. Don't be too rude." Zhang Xuan handed the cigarette to his father.

"Quit it, quit it. I always cough when I get older. After asking Xiaoyi to tell me a few times, I stopped smoking." Dad said with a smile.

The third uncle turned to look at his son and said, "Look at your uncle, he quits at such an old age, so why are you still smoking?"

As a role model for the younger generation of the Zhang family, Zhang Xuan would definitely retort if he was being lectured by me.

At Zhang Yi's house, he nodded obediently and put the cigarette back into the cigarette case.

"Third brother, you are here today..."

Dad was a little puzzled. If someone brought wine to the door during the Chinese New Year or the festival, what kind of trouble would this cause?

"Ah, Xiaoyi didn't tell you when he came back!" Sanbo was stunned.

Dad said: "What happened? I didn't say anything, Xiaoyi, did you do something?"

"It's just a small matter, I didn't tell you." Zhang Yi said.

Zhang Xuan said: "This is no small matter!"

Now I talked about going to Baimai Mansion to view and choose a house.

"When Xiaoxuan came back, he told me that our whole family was interested in that house. After chatting with Xiaoxuan's partner, she also agreed." Sanbo said with a smile.

"Xiaoyi is so awesome now. Without saying anything, the sales manager over there immediately gave me a parking space. You don't know, my daughter-in-law said that the parking space over there is always in demand. It costs at least 20,000 yuan, and It’s not easy to buy!”

Listening to the third uncle talking excitedly, my father was a little dazed, and nodded with a sigh.

The eldest brother came in from the kitchen and happened to hear this sentence, and said to himself, haha, you only know one of them. If you know that our family is free of property fees for five years, I wonder if you will be even more envious and jealous.
