Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

If the east and west wings are not repaired and reinforced, they may collapse at any time.

Your price is hard for me to accept." He said.

Old Man Tian felt bitter in his heart, realizing that what Ye Chuan said was indeed true.

Without repairs, it would be almost impossible to live here.

He could compromise with the overgrown environment, but he couldn't force others to do it.

He tried to lower the price to show concession, and whispered, "Young man, I can lower it to two thousand two hundred, how about that?"

Ye Chuan smiled softly, and the old man's expression was clear, suggesting that there was still room for bargaining. "Mr. Tian, ​​are you planning to sell the house and return home to live?"

Old Man Tian responded.

Ye Chuan then proposed a condition: "I can give you 100 kilograms of national grain coupons and 50 kilograms of meat vouchers. As for the money, we will discuss it later."

Hearing this, Old Man Tian’s eyes widened and his breathing became a little disordered.

Food is in short supply nowadays, and these 100 kilograms of food coupons and 50 kilograms of meat coupons are not a small amount.

He took a deep breath and decided: "If you can show such sincerity, I am willing to reduce the price to 1,800 and resell this house to you!"

Finally, both parties agreed to the deal at 18,000 Chinese Yuan, with an additional 100 kilograms of grain coupons and 50 kilograms of meat coupons as gifts.

For Old Man Tian, ​​the value of grain coupons and meat coupons is inestimable, because they are the source of food that is vital to his life and death and must be kept for his own use.

They negotiated and reached an agreement that Mr. Tian would not leave anything in the house except what he was wearing.

Three days later, go to the Housing Authority to complete all legal procedures for house transfer.

After getting the house, Ye Chuan was very happy because he finally had a place to put the Brazilian rosewood that he had worked so hard to get from the warehouse to use.

The next day was Sunday, and he finally came to Tong Yao's house for dinner. Hearing that they had already started to clean up the house, Tong's father and mother seemed extremely happy.

Tong Yao was reserved and shy, and the housework activities she was about to start revealed the information that her wedding date was approaching.

Although the parents of both parties have not sat down to discuss the details of the wedding, she knows that the day is not far away.

After the meal, they spent some intimate time in Tong Yao's room, and Ye Chuan said goodbye and left.

Her skin was burning hot and her eyes were fiery. She was so afraid that her parents would see her appearance that she even hesitated for a moment before seeing her off.

Ye Chuan walked out of Tong's house with a faint smile on his face, still reminiscing about the good times he had just had.

He told his parents that he planned to go to the courtyard in the afternoon to check on the progress of the renovation and find out what preparations needed to be made.

Soon after he entered the courtyard, Ye Chuan heard a quarrel coming from the middle courtyard. "There's always noise all day long, how can we ever have a moment of peace?" Jia Zhang shouted angrily. "Mrs. Jia, I'm so sorry.

The weather hasn't gotten cold yet, we are working hard and it will be finished soon!" Ye Yongshun said with a smile, trying to comfort her.

Seeing Ye Chuan coming back, Jia Zhang's face changed instantly and she started to throw a tantrum, complaining that he disturbed the peace and quiet at home and made it difficult for her to even take a nap.

Ye Chuan looked around and saw his mother arguing with his family; Jia Dongxu looked at him gloomily, Sha Zhu was eating peanuts at the door; Yi Zhonghai was lying on a chair, half asleep and half awake.

Because Cao Xishun has exquisite craftsmanship, he mainly uses mortise and tenon joints when making furniture, and rarely uses nails. There are no modern tools to make noises, so there are only slight knocking sounds, and there is not much interference.

Jia Zhang said this to find an excuse, hoping to gain some benefits, but even if she didn't, she would at least be upset.

Ye Chuan responded sharply: "If you find it too noisy, you can move out!" However, Jia Zhang retorted: "We are all residents here. Why should you make noise and expect others to accommodate you?"

Facing Jia Dongxu's accusation that the noise at home affected the children's rest, Ye Chuan did not back down. He approached him and looked provocatively: "Do you need me to help you stay in the hospital for two days to recuperate and keep your broken arm company?" He smiled, but Jia Dongxu felt it was the smile of a devil.

Ye Chuan doesn't like to bully others, but this is the only way to deal with the Jia family.

People like Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu are afraid of the weak and will bite back at the strong. They show weakness to others, and the stronger the force, the more afraid they are.

Jia Dongxu was afraid. He remembered the slap he received last time. Ye Chuan was ruthless and showed no mercy from the beginning.

Ye Chuan's response made Yi Zhonghai, who was originally planning to take a nap, unable to remain silent. "Ye Chuan, why are you talking like that?" Yi Zhonghai stood up and interrupted the conversation with a serious expression.

Ye Chuan still had a smile on his face, staring at Yi Zhonghai with interest, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Why, the noise was originally caused by you, and your attitude is so bad, as if you are blaming others."

Yi Zhonghai had a terrible headache. In fact, he had done it on purpose.

Seeing that the Ye family occupied the house which should have been their property but missed it, Yi Zhonghai was gnashing his teeth at Ye Chuan.

Ye Chuan then spoke up, "There are many people getting married in the front, middle and back courtyards in recent years. Which family doesn't make knocking noises when moving? Ours is considered the least noisy.

Since you are unwilling to come out and solve the problem, I will do it myself!"

"Neighbors should be at peace with each other, why don't they communicate peacefully? Why do you always want to fight?" Yi Zhonghai argued. "How can you be peaceful? Are you talking about delivering food to each family at midnight?" Ye Chuan asked with a smile. "You——"

"I'm kidding you! Yi Zhonghai, if you don't want to be the head of this family, just tell me now and I'll be happy to give in!" After Ye Chuan finished speaking, he glared at Jia Dongxu and planned to go home to continue checking the progress of the decoration.

When he passed by Qin Huairu and looked at the swaying locust branches in her arms, he smiled and said, "You need to feed the child more nutritious food, so that his skin won't become wrinkled and look older.

However, her oval face is quite suitable for Sister Shazhu’s face shape, and it is quite similar to your sister Yuxi’s face shape. "

After saying that, he walked away, leaving everyone guessing.

Although Ye Chuan did not mention it, everyone knew that Sha Zhu and He Yushui had a close relationship. Her implication was that she and Sha Zhu were similar, so everyone assumed that this meant something.

Jia Zhang was already suspicious of the delicate relationship between the two, and now the suspicion deepened. She turned her eyes to her grandson Sha Zhu with more doubts. "What are you doing standing in the yard and letting others hang out? Go back now!" Jia Dongxu scolded Qin Huairu in a bad tone.

Qin Huairu lowered her head, endured the grievance, and walked back home silently holding the locust flowers, feeling extremely depressed.

The originally expected happiness in the city did not come as expected. After the marriage, they were deceived by the lies made by Jia Dongxu. Compared with the complicated wedding preparations of other families, their family only has one radio so far, and even the furniture is not complete.

In contrast, the Ye family's new house was freshly decorated, with a full set of brand new furniture and wooden floors, which were said to be made of high-quality wood.

After returning home, Ye Chuan saw that the house had been newly repainted, the warm floor heating system had been installed, and the floor had been newly laid. The next step was to purchase furniture and complete some minor projects.

Cao Xishun, the seventh-level carpenter, is indeed worthy of his reputation. The floor is laid finely and firmly. You can feel the luxurious atmosphere of Brazilian rosewood at the touch, and walking on it is as quiet as silence. "Is Chuanwa back? If you are not satisfied with anything, just tell me." Cao Xishun said with a smile, his face full of satisfaction and enthusiasm. "Master Cao has worked hard, and I am very satisfied.

You are truly a master craftsman." Ye Chuan praised him without reservation.

Cao Xishun, who was helping his son arrange the bookshelf in his room, felt relieved when he saw his attitude.

The entire wall is designed with shelves, which can hold tens of thousands of books, and it is full from top to bottom. "Master Cao, can you make another TV cabinet and install it in that corner?" Ye Chuan pointed and suggested, in the gap between the bookshelf and the wall. "TV cabinet? Is it the one for the TV?" Cao Xishun heard of this kind of furniture for the first time. "Yes, it doesn't need to be too big, just put a TV on it and a few storage drawers below." Ye Chuan explained with gestures.

Hearing this, Cao Xishun exclaimed: "Have you bought a TV, Chuanwa?" He was full of curiosity about the preferences of young people. "Just because you don't have one now doesn't mean you won't have one in the future!" Ye Chuan said with a smile, but he didn't tell the other party that he had already prepared a TV.

Cao Xishun nodded in agreement.

He found that the use of wood was more economical than expected, and if he customized another TV cabinet, there would be at least 2,000 kilograms of wood left for other purposes.

Ye Chuan did not appreciate the furniture styles of this era, especially the tall cabinets and combination cabinets. He thought the styles were neither beautiful nor practical.

However, based on Ye Chuan's drawings, the wardrobe customized by Cao Xishun is very much in line with the aesthetic tastes of modern people.

It had a place to hang robes and space for underwear. Although it was a little small, it was enough to store his and Tong Yao's clothes.

People of this era usually had limited clothing. Women even had only 10 to 20 sets of clothing to change into, and they could change the style every day for an entire quarter. Yet they often complained that they did not have enough clothes to wear.

Compared with others, Tong Yao's situation is slightly better.

Since her family is in good condition, she has some nice new clothes in her wardrobe, such as work suits for fall and winter and one or two shirts for summer to meet her daily wear needs.

Cooking was not what Cao Xishun was good at, so Ye Yongshun found someone from the factory to take care of this part.

They worked every night and completed the task in just the last week.

Ye Chuan asked someone to buy some tiles. Although he thought they looked bad, the stove covered with tiles gave it a clean and simple feel.

However, the living space at home is limited, and it would be a huge project to expand it further. Ye Chuan really wants to have a toilet and bathroom.

Going to the open-air toilet was always a big annoyance - in the summer it was smelly and full of bugs; in the winter it was freezing cold with icy winds blowing in through the door.

With the two ondols removed, the heating system was replaced by connected earth heaters.

When Ye Yongshun first installed it, he tested it and found that the indoor temperature increased significantly, and the whole space was filled with warmth.

The Ye family's kitchen is long and narrow and is usually used to store food.

According to Ye Chuan's idea, the end should be an open area.

Due to the hasty renovation, the space he had reserved was temporarily vacant and he was planning to convert it into a shower room, but he hasn’t figured out the exact plan yet.
