Siheyuan: Since 51

"It's okay!"

Yi Zhonghai affirmed and analyzed: "Think about it, there are a lot of people in Beijing who own more than ten houses or even a whole courtyard. Isn't that a small number? If all of them are considered landlords, how many people would that be?"

"What you said makes sense, but..."

Seeing Lin Zhiyuan's tone soften, Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "Don't say buts. If you didn't know everything about her, the old lady would have been sold to someone else long ago!"

"Fine!"

Lin Zhiyuan reluctantly said, "I want the three side rooms on the east side of the front yard." (It should be the hall and two side rooms, but for the sake of convenience, I will use three side rooms instead.)

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady were immediately delighted.

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Okay, Lin, if it's convenient for you, I'll sell you the three side rooms on the west side, for a total of 20 million. Do you think it's okay?"

Lin Zhiyuan quickly waved his hand to refuse, "No, old lady, I'll have to sell everything I have to buy three rooms. I can't afford more!"

The deaf old lady narrowed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "How about this, I'll sell them all to you. You give me half first, and the rest I give you 100,000 a month, slowly. Is that ok?"

Is there such a good thing?

Lin Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation: "Okay, let's do as you say! My uncle and his family are coming over, so I'll buy it for them!"

Yi Zhonghai asked suspiciously: "Your uncle?"

"Yes, the letter said that he would be returning to the capital soon."

The communication was good and both parties were satisfied.

The next day, early in the morning.

Lin Zhiyuan and Yi Zhonghai both took leave. No one can feel at ease until the dust has settled.

After completing the formalities at the street office, the three of them were in high spirits.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai next to him, Lin Zhiyuan suddenly felt that he was not so hateful.

In my heart, I couldn't help but secretly thank you: "Yi Zhonghai, no, Uncle Yi, you deserve at least half of the credit for me being able to buy this house!"

"Old lady, Uncle Yi, I'm going to find someone to clean up the house, you guys get busy!"

After saying this, Lin Zhiyuan went straight to Wu Qingrui's house.

In Luoguxiang, whether it’s building a house or decorating it, or even carpentry, everyone knows Master Wu Qingrui.

As for Yangshi Lei, he was too far away and Lin Zhiyuan was too lazy to run away.

Across the street, not far away, there is a small courtyard with its own entrance.

Lin Zhiyuan knocked on the door. "Is Master Wu home?"

A dark-skinned middle-aged man came out of the house and said in a gloomy voice, "It's me!"

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and walked forward, handing over a cigarette, "Master Wu, I want to do something with my house, do you have time?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I am now a student of Confucius, an idle person!"

Wu Qingrui chuckled and said depressedly: "You don't understand. I don't know which bastard said nonsense, saying that the house is too well decorated and the government will confiscate it. I have been out of work recently. Don't you think this is nonsense?"

Damn, has it become so outrageous?

Lin Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly, "If you have time, let's go to my place and take a look?"

"I'll get the toolbox!"

The two returned to the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the east wing, Lin Zhiyuan expressed his thoughts.

"Master Wu, as for the roof, use wooden boards to build a ceiling and paint it with white lime. The lower the roof, the less cold it is in the winter and the less hot it is in the summer."

Hearing this, Wu Qingrui's mouth curled up, "Hey, you know what, this is a good idea, but the cost is not low."

"Let's talk about the expenses first!"

Lin Zhiyuan doesn't care, living comfortably is the most important thing.

"The living room is in the middle, and the bedroom is to the south. Remove the kang, and put two small windows on the south wall to make it brighter! Build a wall between the living room and the bedroom, and install a door on the west side of the wall!"

The more Wu Qingrui listened, the tighter his brows frowned, "You can't do this, how can you keep warm in this winter?"

"Don't worry about that!"

Lin Zhiyuan led Wu Qingrui to the north room.

"The windows are the same, and then it is divided into two rooms. The east side is a small bedroom, and the west side is the kitchen."

Wu Qingrui reminded: "The planning is good, but where will the children live?"

"Just follow my instructions, and don't worry about anything else!"

"Okay!" Wu Qingrui didn't say anything more. "What about the floor? Blue bricks, or..."

"Blue bricks!"

Lin Zhiyuan drew a simple sketch and handed it to Wu Qingrui, "It should look like this!"

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll find a way to fix the windows, doors, and wooden boards. You can fix the rest. Tell me how long it will take and how much it will cost."

Wu Qingrui took out a notebook and a pen and wrote and drew for about half an hour.

“It will take about 20 days and cost 280 million!”

"Okay, I'll vacate the room today, can we start work tomorrow?"

"no problem!"

After Wu Qingrui left, Lin Zhiyuan put his things in order and started moving things to the west wing.

There are quite a few people in the courtyard. It would be easier to use the space directly, but it would be difficult to explain.

After finishing the small items, only two large wardrobes were left, and Lin Zhiyuan was in a dilemma.

Unexpectedly, Yi Zhonghai heard some noise in Lin Zhiyuan's room and walked in with curiosity on his face.

Lin Zhiyuan's eyes lit up.

Isn’t this a perfect young man?

Yi Zhonghai, no, Uncle Yi, I would like to call you timely rain!

"Come on, Uncle Yi, you've come just in time, help me move the things!"

Yi Zhonghai was confused.

I just wanted to come over and take a look, and you actually assigned me to do some work?

I'm such a slut, why do I have to come here?

Even though he was reluctant, Yi Zhonghai still said with a smile: "Okay, I have nothing to do, I'll give you a hand!"

They were all drafted into the army. When moving the wardrobe, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but ask curiously, "Zhiyuan, what are you doing?"

"It's a good time to clean up the house!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded thoughtfully, "It's time to clean it up. It will be easier to find a partner after it's cleaned up. Do you want your Aunt Yi to help you keep an eye on it?"

Lin Zhiyuan's face was filled with black lines.

Count on you? In the TV series, Shazhu is counting on you. How about Zhu Bajie's second aunt?

"Forget it, I'll ask my aunt later!"

"Okay, if you have any problem, just let us know. We can help each other..."

Yi Zhonghai started to spread his ideas as soon as he got the chance. Lin Zhiyuan was annoyed to hear him but didn't know what to say. Who asked him to ask others for help?

Just two wardrobes, and it was done in ten minutes.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had no intention of leaving, Lin Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Uncle Yi, thanks to you today, I have to go to Changping again. When the house is ready, I will treat you to a meal!"

Yi Zhonghai grinned, "Zhiyuan, you are being so formal! I've already told you that neighbors should help each other! Okay, you are busy, I'll go back first!"

"okay!"

Lin Zhiyuan sent Yi Zhonghai out.

"Uncle Yi, I'll be leaving soon. I might stay in Changping for the next two days. When Zhihui and Xiaoyu come back, please let them stay in the west wing."

"No problem, don't worry about it!"

After leaving the courtyard, Lin Zhiyuan bought a wood saw and an axe and headed straight out of the city.

Lin Zhiyuan has thought about the wooden boards needed for decoration.

There are many big trees on the mountain, and the mountain road is rugged. Others may not be able to deal with it, but Lin Zhiyuan has no problem. As long as he can cut them down, the rest will be no problem!
