Chapter 189

Before returning to my new home, I ate some food on the side of the road. After arriving at home, I stood outside the door for a few seconds, tidied up my clothes, and then walked towards the gate.

The door was closed. I knocked on the door twice, and Xiaochun's voice immediately came from the door. After learning that it was me, I heard the sound of opening the door bolt. The door opened quickly, and the next second, Xiaochun ran to me excitedly, hugged my arm in his arms, pulled me into the door.

After entering the door, I realized that the person who opened the door was not Xiaochun, but Gunhou. I asked Xiaochun to wait for a while, and waited for Gunhou to close the door and came to the other side of me before taking them inside.

"Brother Li! This house is so big! It's OK! When I moved in yesterday, I almost got lost!"

"Haha...isn't that exaggerated."

The house where the Gun family lives is the largest of the three large houses. The exterior walls of the house are rectangular, more than 50 meters long and more than 20 meters wide. There is a door in the north and south, the main door in the south and the back door in the north. There are two rows of houses in the east and west walls, and the distance between the houses and the fence is about one meter.

When you enter the front door, there is a yard, which is the front yard. The front yard is surrounded by three rows of houses on the east, north and west. There is a small door at the south side of the east and west rows of houses. There is a corridor inside the door that can lead to the room under the east and west walls.

There is also a yard when you enter the back door, which is the backyard. The layout around the backyard is similar to that of the front yard, but the area of ​​the backyard is smaller than that of the front yard, and the building occupies a larger area.

The three rows of houses around the front yard are not next to the two rows of houses under the east and west walls, nor are they next to the three rows of houses around the back yard. The row of houses on the east side of the back yard is about three meters away from the row of houses under the east wall, and the two rows of houses on the west side are also this distance. The row of houses on the north side of the front yard and the row of houses on the south side of the back yard is about four meters away.

There is a door directly opposite the front and back doors, connecting the open space between two rows of houses. According to the customs of the Yuanxing people, the open space in the middle is called the "intermediate courtyard" and can also be called the "internal courtyard". The well of the mansion is here. The open space except the front yard, the back yard, the intermediate courtyard or the inner courtyard is uniformly called the "partial courtyard".

The name of the yard is based on location, while the building is based on function.

There are three types of housing, namely the main room, the guest room, and the main room. The main room is the place where the family lives, the guest room is the place where the guests live, and the guest room is the place where the servants live. In addition, there are various functional buildings, such as the conference hall, the living room, the dining room, the kitchen, the bathroom, the water room, the warehouse, the wood room, the toilet, etc.

These buildings do not have fixed locations, and may not all be all of them. They are entirely determined by demand. In Yuanxing City, whether it is a mansion or a house, they only limit the height and building scope. As long as the fence is not expanded or the wall is not expanded, the building should not be built outside the fence or wall. The roof of ordinary people's houses is no more than twenty feet higher. They can build whatever they want and modify it as they want.

The Gun family had just moved in for a day, and many things had not been settled, and there were still many things piled up in the yard. When walking towards the gate of the middle courtyard, Xiaochun said again that something was happening on the day of moving. People who saw the house said auspicious words and asked for rewards, while others lived in the house and refused to leave. People who saw the house scolded them for being ungrateful, and said they wanted to report to the official, but they left.

People have to look at uninhabited houses. The wealthy families send their subordinates to see them, while the small families hire people to see them. If it is a big house, the people who see the house may call relatives and friends to live with them.

There are usually only one or two people who are looking at home, and only one of them is at most a dozen people. Living in a big house will make it look very empty and it will be troublesome to clean it. Living in more people will not only make the house more popular, but also help clean it. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. So generally speaking, as long as there are no valuables in the house, the homeowner will acquiesce to see the house.

Some people who are aware of this will take advantage of this and collect tenants privately or are homeless. As long as people who are not doing too much, the homeowner will turn a blind eye and pretend that they have not seen it.

If you are collecting tenants, the person who is watching the house will tell the other party that if the house is mainly used, they will have to move out immediately and the rent will not be refunded. If you are collecting homeless people, there is no need to say that you have to leave.

Xiaochun said, those who refuse to leave are shameless. I explained with a wry smile that it is not necessarily shameless. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and suddenly there is no place to live, so no one is happy to change it.

"If you are not happy... you have to be reasonable even if you are not happy!"

We walked and chatted, and we walked very slowly. We only walked to the middle of the front yard after talking here. With Xiaochun's complaint, we stopped here.

"Yes, you have to be reasonable."

I smiled bitterly and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. In order to change the topic, I turned to look at Gunhou. Gunhou looked a little uninspired and seemed to be struggling with something. I called him, which scared him. When he calmed down, I asked him, do you still remember Hong Guoqiao?

"Remember... such a harsh girl... how could I forget..."

The sound of the gun was weak and he was not looking at me when he spoke, but he was still looking at me in the same direction.

"What do you think of her?"

"How about it...just be so tough...what else can you do..."

Seeing that Genghou had no interest in Hong Guoqiao, I couldn't help but say "tsk". Unexpectedly, Genghou suddenly panicked and turned his face to the other side.

"You're fine, are you?"

"I...I'm fine..."

He turned his face and just as he looked over, he ran away in a panic like a knife. At this time, Xiaochun on the other side poked out his head and said to Gunhou.

"What's wrong? It was fine just now, why did it suddenly happen?"

"No, no, no...no! I...I've gone to study!"

After saying that, he ran into a room on the east side of the front yard like a run. Xiaochun and I looked at each other in confusion. I shrugged my shoulders. Xiaochun tilted his head in confusion and said, "Didn't you just rest? Why did you go to study again?"

"Just rest?"

"Yes. All the men at home have gone out, only the women and children are at home. The second grandma said that Gunhou had to stay at home to study, so he didn't go with him. When you came back, he was just resting. I kept the door in the front yard and played with him for a while."

"Oh, that's it." I nodded, "When did they leave?"

"I left in the morning and said I would not come back to eat at noon and I would be back in the afternoon."

"I can't come back in the afternoon, how much do I have to buy?" I smiled bitterly, "Have the rooms been arranged?"

"All arranged!" Xiaochun showed a bright smile, "Brother Li's room has also been arranged! It is the biggest and best one!"

"Hi...why are you doing so well for me? I can't come back often."

"Hey? Brother Li won't come back to live?"

"Did you forget what I do?" I pointed to my military uniform, "I am a soldier--oh no, I am an official, I have to live in the military camp and manage the troops, and I can't live home often."

"I won't come back to live..." Xiaochun showed a disappointed expression.

"It's not that I don't come back to live, it's that I can't come back to live often." I touched Xiaochun's head and teased, "Why, do you want to live with me?"

“Um…”

Xiaochun's face turned red, she shrank her shoulders, buried her head, and was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.
