Siheyuan: I just want to live

Master Lei looked at Chen Feng and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, this is your new home. Although it looks a bit shabby now, you have to believe me, as long as I help you clean it up, I will definitely turn it into a beautiful home."

Chen Feng nodded and said to Master Lei in agreement: "Master Lei, of course I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to repair this yard."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Master Lei said with a smile, "Okay, since the boss trusts me so much, let's not just stand there."

"Boss, while we're looking at the yard, can you tell me how you plan to clean it up?"

Seeing him say that, Chen Feng smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk while we walk!"

So Chen Feng took Master Lei for a walk around the yard.

As soon as he entered the yard, Chen Feng said to Master Lei, "Master Lei, you see, this yard is now all yellow soil. I plan to pave the ground with bluestone or blue bricks."

As soon as Master Lei entered the hospital, he took out a notebook and pencil from his bag.

After hearing what Chen Feng said, he started to record it in his notebook.

After the record was completed, he repeated to Chen Feng, "The yard is paved with bluestone slabs or blue bricks."

After hearing Master Lei's retelling, Chen Feng nodded slightly. He did not interrupt him but continued walking forward, continuing to speak as he walked.

"Master Lei, please check all the rooms in this courtyard to see if there are any roof leaks or other safety hazards. If there are any, please fix them for me!"

Master Lei heard what Chen Feng said, nodded and said, "Boss, don't worry about this. I will definitely check it carefully. When the room is delivered, there will definitely not be a single room with problems!"

Chen Feng knew that Master Lei was not lying to him, so he said, "Okay, you don't need to say more, I still believe you! Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to repair the house!"

"Let's continue looking! I'll tell you about other places that need to be renovated."

When Master Lei heard what Chen Feng said again, he was very happy. After all, for a person who works in the engineering field, being trusted by his boss is also a kind of affirmation for him!

So Master Lei said to Chen Feng happily, "Come on, boss, let's continue looking at houses. I will definitely take note of the places you said you want to renovate!"

After hearing what Master Lei said, Chen Feng smiled and stopped saying any more polite words. Instead, he continued to walk inside.

When Chen Feng walked to the center of the yard, he turned to Master Lei and said, "Master Lei, please help me find a place in this yard to plant a crabapple tree."

"Then plant a few grape trees in the middle of the yard, build a trellis, and let the vines climb all over. This way, in the summer, there will be a natural pergola in the yard!"

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Master Lei repeated them and wrote them down in a notebook.

After remembering it, Master Lei looked up and gave Chen Feng a thumbs up, then said, "Boss, you have the best idea!"

"Begonia, begonia, a house full of gold and jade, has a very good meaning! The grape tree can provide shade in the summer, and when the grapes are ripe, they can be given to children to eat! It's also very good!"

Hearing Master Lei's praise, Chen Feng smiled slightly and didn't say much. He just sighed in his heart, who said that most people working in civil engineering don't know how to flatter?

Master Lei's flattery really makes people feel ecstatic.

Isn't it common practice in the city to plant crabapples and grape vines in the yard? Master Lei can even give a fancy way to this.

Master Lei saw that Chen Feng just smiled and didn't say anything. Maybe he felt that what he had just said was a bit embarrassing, so he touched his nose and continued to follow Chen Feng and take notes.

Chen Feng continued to walk forward. When he arrived at the door of the master bedroom, he did not go in immediately. Instead, he stood at the door and spoke to Master Lei.

"The layout of the house in this courtyard does not need to be changed. Just convert one of the two side rooms next to the master bedroom into a kitchen and the other into a bathroom."

"And there's no need to leave a door outside. Just knock through the wall. The three main rooms will be just enough for a dining room, living room, and bedroom."

When Master Lei heard what Chen Feng said, he quickly wrote it down in his notebook. After writing it down, Master Lei looked up at the main room again and said nothing more.

After Chen Feng and Master Lei had discussed their ideas for the renovation of the yard, Master Lei also took notes.

So Master Lei asked Chen Feng, "Boss, I'll continue with the other things, but what kind of wood are you going to use to repair the house?"

"Is it ordinary wood like the others, or is it expensive wood like last time?"

After hearing what Master Lei said, Chen Feng thought for a moment, then said, "Well! Don't use too good wood, anything about the same will do!"

“After it’s done, don’t use any bright paint, just some varnish to keep the natural color of the wood! The overall style of this yard should be warm and low-key!”

Master Lei thought for a moment after hearing what Chen Feng said, then nodded and said, "Okay, sir! I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I guarantee you will be satisfied after the yard is renovated!"

Chen Feng saw that Master Lei understood what he meant, so he said, "Okay then! This is roughly how the yard will be decorated."

"Master Lei, please go back and calculate the cost and materials first, and then come back to the courtyard to find me. Is that okay with you?"

When Master Lei heard Chen Feng say this, he quickly said, "Okay, of course! I'll make a blueprint when I get back, so that the boss can take it and report it!"

Seeing Master Lei say this, Chen Feng said, "Okay, then let's go back?"

Having said that, Chen Feng turned around and walked outside. After Master Lei saw Chen Feng leaving, he also followed behind Chen Feng.

When Chen Feng was about to leave the yard, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have only told Master Lei to build a bathroom, and the bathroom was in the master bedroom.

Obviously, if there is only one bathroom with so many rooms in this yard, it would definitely not be enough.

So Chen Feng stopped and turned to Master Lei behind him and said, "Master Lei! Please add a little more."

"That's right. You can add one or two toilets in suitable locations in the courtyard, so that other people in the courtyard don't have to run outside to use the toilet."

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Master Lei quickly took out his notebook and started writing it down. After he finished writing it down, he said to Chen Feng.

"Boss, I've made note of it. I'll add it to the blueprint later!"

Chen Feng looked at Master Lei's skillful movements and nodded secretly in his heart.

After arranging everything, Chen Feng and Master Lei left the courtyard together. As soon as they left the courtyard, Master Lei said to Chen Feng, "Boss, since the house has been chosen, I will go back to draw the design and will not disturb you anymore!"

Chen Feng thought that if the decoration was completed sooner, he could move in sooner, so he responded: "Okay, Master Lei, you go back first, I won't see you off!"

Master Lei said quickly, "Boss, please stay. I can go back by myself."

After saying that, Master Lei walked towards the bicycle. When he reached the bicycle, he turned back and said to Chen Feng, "Boss, please go back. I'm leaving first!"

Then, he got on his bike and rode towards the alley entrance. Chen Feng looked at his receding figure, smiled slightly, then locked the gate and rode his bike back home.

Chen Feng was riding his bicycle, still thinking about the renovation of the house. He was thinking that in addition to adding a bathroom, he could also renovate the kitchen to make it more modern.

Chen Feng remembered that the construction of the liquefied petroleum gas filling station in the western suburbs of Sijiu City started last year and it was put into use in December of the same year.

It seems that when Master Lei comes to discuss with me later, I will see if he can decorate the kitchen to be closer to the style of modern society.

In addition, the layout of the restaurant can also be adjusted. Let Master Lei build a flower wall between the main room and the restaurant to slightly divide the space.

Before he knew it, Chen Feng rode his bicycle back to the gate of the courtyard. He parked the bicycle in the courtyard, and his thoughts also stopped.

After sorting out his confused thoughts, Chen Feng pushed his bicycle into the yard.

Fortunately, Chen Feng did not meet Yan Fugui, and no one came to Chen Feng to ask him questions on the way. He returned home smoothly.

After entering the house, Chen Feng saw his wife playing with the children in the main room, so Chen Feng went forward to help her look after the children.

Unexpectedly, just as Chen Feng was about to reach out to hold the child, Jin Ling beside him stopped him and said, "Husband, you'd better not hold the child, okay?"

Chen Feng was also a little stunned by Jin Ling's words, so he asked, "Why can't I hold the baby today?"

Jin Ling looked at the sweaty Chen Feng and said with disgust, "Husband, you just ran outside and now you are full of sweat. If you want to hold the baby now, aren't you afraid that the baby will cry?"

After hearing Jin Ling's words, Chen Feng smelled his clothes, but didn't smell anything.

So Chen Feng asked Jin Ling with some doubt, "Do I really have such a strong smell?"

Seeing him ask this, Jin Ling nodded seriously and said, "Yes, it smells very strong and unpleasant! Go wash it quickly!"

After hearing Jin Ling's words, Chen Feng smelled his clothes carefully again. It turned out that he could really smell it.

Maybe I had been smelling it for too long and my nose wasn't working well, so I didn't smell it right away.

After smelling it, Chen Feng said to Jin Ling, "Wife, you are right. I better take a shower before holding the children! Otherwise, if the children cry because of my fumes, it will be hard to comfort them!"

After saying that, Chen Feng no longer stayed in the main room. He went upstairs to get his clothes, then went into the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Chen Feng came out and while playing with the children, he told his wife about his house-hunting experience today.

After hearing what Chen Feng said, his wife Jin Ling was also very excited and looked forward to moving into the new house that Chen Feng had carefully decorated as soon as possible.
