Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

That night.

Chen Jianghe's family made do with a wooden bed between the inner and outer rooms for the night.

The next morning, he left a decoration drawing and 30 yuan before going to work.

Labor is really cheap these days...

Some decoration materials have been placed in the utility room next to it, and the old furniture that was originally piled up has also been piled outside the door.

The question is what I did by working overtime for half the night.

The blueprint showed four bedrooms and two living rooms, and the appearance was exactly the same as the two houses, one large and one small, that Chen Jianghe's family originally had, plus a storage room next to the ear room.

According to Chen Jianghe's plan, a layer of sound insulation and thermal insulation panels must be added to the four bedrooms. After all, it is necessary to have a good sleeping environment.

In addition, wooden flooring is laid on the original basis. It is made of solid wood panels so your feet won’t be cold in winter.

The kitchen has added some cabinets on the conventional basis and reserved space for the smoke exhaust and refrigerator, so that when you can buy a refrigerator in the future, you can put it directly in.

In addition, Chen Jianghe also reserved a small compartment between the utility room and the ear room.

I originally wanted to use it as a bathroom, but flush toilets were not popular at that time, so I could only use it as a shower room temporarily.

After ensuring drainage, you can then get a hot water bucket and a simple shower head.

"This? If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the big utility room in our front yard."

Yan Bugui didn't have classes this morning, so he came back right after checking in.

I promised to do something for someone.

At this moment, looking at the drawings that Lou Xiao'e took out, he was a little confused.

Why is the big utility room also included in the agreed decoration?

Although that shabby house is not habitable, it is quite large. Conservative estimates suggest it is over 60 square meters.

This can’t all be taken by Chen Jianghe’s family!

If he wasn't afraid of gossip, he would have done it long ago, he has so many children in his family!

Another reason why Yan Bugui didn't take action is:

It costs a lot of money to redecorate this utility room. It has to be renovated from the walls to the ceiling, which is not much different from rebuilding a house.

And you have to pay a fee to the street office as a token of your appreciation, otherwise the procedures will be difficult to handle, which is another expense.

The key point is that he felt he couldn't gain any advantage, so he never put any thought into it.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jianghe directly included this area in his own territory.

"Uncle, this is the big storage room." Lou Xiao'e said.

She already knew that the Third Uncle and his wife were both calculating. If she didn't make things clear in advance, she didn't know what they might be thinking behind her back.

"My husband went to the street to ask, and they said the house had been on the market for a long time and had not been sold. Later, someone else disliked the house and was unwilling to rent it."

When Yan Bugui heard this, how could he not understand that Chen Jianghe was just taking advantage of the situation.

"How much did your family pay for it?"

This is a big project. If I were renting a house, I would definitely not be able to afford such a huge expense.

"I paid 120 yuan for the house. I owe it first. My husband said that we should repair the house first so that people can live in it."

"As for the money you owe, just borrow some from my parents and pay it back slowly later."

Lou Xiao'e's speech was clear and logical, and there was nothing to fault with it.

No matter what era, it is not uncommon for a father-in-law to help his son-in-law.

As for paying back the money, the meat is rotten in your own pot and no one else knows whether it is true or not.

Yan Bugui was jealous. Compared with his father-in-law, he had nothing to say.

Yang Ruihua has given birth to four children for him, so he can't exchange his wife for a house.

The gain outweighs the loss.

Besides, the reason why his family lacks a house is because they have many sons and they can use the house to marry off wives.

"Well, that's for sure. It's because he married a rich wife."

If this had been said in the past, Lou Xiao'e would have agreed with it.

But now that she knew about Old Chen's family's financial situation, she really didn't dare to say that her family was richer than her husband's family.

They just walk at night in fine clothes.

She understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth, and Chen Jianghe also said that to the outside world, it was his family that borrowed the Lou family's reputation.

Yan Bugui entered the grocery room again and found that the materials had already been prepared. He probably bought them when he went fishing yesterday.

"Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you with the supervision. Xiao'e and I don't know how to do it, so we can only help with the cooking and boiling water."

Chen's mother came out after cleaning the kitchen. His son had prepared corn noodles early in the morning.

Nowadays, everyone's staple food is steamed bread, and even the flour is two grams of flour. The food for their workers is provided according to the normal standard.

Each person gets two steamed buns and two bowls of flour, and plenty of boiling water.

Yan Bugui was waiting for these words.

He didn't eat lunch at school before, which saved money, and now he doesn't eat at home either, which directly saves a meal.

This is just a few votes. If they accumulate over time, won't life be easier?

Chen Jianghe prepared everything quietly. If he messed it up later, he would have a hard time explaining himself.

Yan Bugui immediately went to call for help, while the Chen family was also packing up their belongings.

The house is going to be renovated, so some valuable things need to be put away in advance to avoid attracting too many eyes.

"Grandma, where are we going to live?"

Duoduo hugged her little quilt, feeling a little overwhelmed. She didn't understand why she had to move just after arriving.

"Let's go to the backyard and live with the old lady for a few days. Your uncle and aunt will go to your sister Yushui's house in the middle yard. When our house is renovated, we can come back and live in the new house!"

Chen's mother packed up all the things she had not used recently into the cupboard, leaving only bedding and spare clothes outside.

Lou Xiao'e also packed up her and Chen Jianghe's things. In fact, they didn't have much stuff at home.

She didn't know where the vases that Chen Jianghe collected when he was lucky were placed, and she didn't see any of them.

Soon, Yan Bugui brought back five or six people and started eating early.

Those people can only do the work, but they are not as good as Yan Bugui in reading blueprints and reading.

There was no other way. Since he had already accepted the task of supervision, Yan Bugui had to arrange things for people bit by bit.

He can read, but he is not good at decoration materials.

You can only tell the workers their names and ask them to go to the utility room to search for the supplies themselves. If there are no supplies available, such as large steel nails, ask the workers to provide them and I will pay you later.

It was said to be the Chen family's project. Except for lunch and the evening when Chen Jianghe came home from get off work to check the progress, everything else was pushed forward by Yan Bugui.

In order to get a lunch, Yan Bugui was so worried that he felt even more tired than teaching in school.

Chen's mother and Lou Xiao'e were busy preparing lunch, and Duoduo was helping on the side, and neither of them went out to play with little Yan Jiedi.

It was the third aunt who, seeing her husband directing others to work, felt proud of it and simply helped to light the fire and cook.

At least I can have two steamed buns for lunch, which saves me money.

Renovating a courtyard house is a big deal, and aunties and sisters-in-law often come to see what's new.

I saw several workers sticking and fixing large sandwich boards on the wall. The whole room was covered with these boards, and then they painted them white with lime.

Even the floor was paved with thick varnished wooden floors. The old house looked brand new after a few days of renovation.

It looks inconspicuous, but the details are in place everywhere.

The key point is that Chen Jianghe really put up the furniture he collected, and after repairing and repainting it, it looks a lot better than before.

The standard configuration of each room is a wardrobe and a bed. There is also a desk in one room, and even the living room has a low sofa.

Each piece of furniture looks quite ordinary when viewed individually, but when combined together they fit perfectly in the home.

"Uncle, we need to hurry up. I don't have enough food to supply. I can't let people work hungry. If it really doesn't work, please lend me some."

Chen Jianghe noticed that the construction progress was getting slower and slower, and they were probably waiting to eat his food.

As long as the work is done well, he is not afraid of feeding people, but if they slack off, he will have to talk to them.
