During the National Day, the decoration team stopped working, and Li Manjun visited the new home every two or three days.
She found a semi-package repair team, bought the materials herself, and the decoration team was responsible for the design and construction.
In the early 1990s, the professional decoration team was not yet mature. The decoration company Li Manjun found was introduced by Shirley Zhong.
When the studio was undergoing overall renovation, Shirley Zhong had already gotten along well with this decoration company. In addition, the construction manager was easy to communicate with and would not express strong personal opinions to interfere with the employer's choice. Li Manjun made the decision after chatting on the phone for a while.
Facts have proved that although this decoration team does not have a strong subjective initiative, it is because of this that they can basically satisfy her when implementing her ideas and plans.
Nowadays, it is popular to use wooden boards to build walls and ceilings in large areas, and then build a large chandelier. How can you make yourself look rich? You are using too much force.
Li Manjun adopts a simple, bright and atmospheric style. Instead of wooden walls, she directly paints white walls. She doesn't even use suspended ceilings, just simple plaster lines.
The entire living room has not been significantly modified, except that the mahogany floor installed by the original owner was knocked out and replaced with large white tiles.
In this way, the originally spacious living room visually doubled in size.
Li Manjun wants to partially seal the balcony. After all, there are children at home, so safety must be paid attention to.
Shirley Zhong visited Li Manjun's home and highly recommended her to build a large terrace and put a desk on it to work while looking at the beautiful scenery. It was not too comfortable.
Li Manjun was also moved, but because the family had such an active little monster every year, they had no choice but to abandon the large panoramic balcony.
Fortunately, the construction was finally completed and the semi-enclosed balcony turned out pretty good.
Li Manjun prefers a retro and warm feel when it comes to room decoration, so it took a lot of effort.
From the moment Zhao Yong got his new home, he started shopping around for the screens, antiques, and ornaments he wanted.
The wooden floor in the study room was originally the mahogany color he liked, but Li Manjun did not change it, so the entire study room hardly needed to be touched.
Ever since, this place has successfully become Zhao Yong's "baby shelter" room.
Before I moved into my new home, the study room was already full of antique calligraphy and paintings. Many of them were bought from Wan Rongming. I kept telling Li Manjun:
"I am a real guy. I will stay here to make family heirlooms for my daughter."
Li Manjun raised his eyebrows in surprise, and without comment, turned around and went to Wan Rongming's store when he had time to ask him how much money his husband had been cheated out of.
"Hi!" Wan Rongming held a folding fan, shook it open, and said while fanning: "This is your husband, can I let someone bully him?"
"Don't worry, they are all modern and old objects, not worth much money, and he didn't spend much on them."
Li Manjun asked: "How much is that?"
"A few thousand," Wan Rongming replied sincerely.
Li Manjun knew it well, it would definitely be more than a few thousand, at least double it.
His lover Shen Ailian waved to Li Manjun. Li Manjun often dealt with Wan Rongming. After going back and forth, he became familiar with his wife.
The couple has no children and does not plan to have any. For unknown reasons, Li Manjun did not ask for these personal details.
She just thinks that Shen Ailian, who lives in this era and is determined not to have children, is very avant-garde in her thoughts.
There is a big age difference between the two, but they are interested in similar things. Maybe it's because Li Manjun is mentally older, or maybe Shen Ailian is young at heart.
"What's wrong?" Li Manjun walked behind the counter and came to Shen Ailian, asking curiously.
Shen Ailian tore off a piece of the account book and handed it to Li Manjun, "I told you before, this man can't have money in his hands. Look at this pile of orders, they are all bought by your family Zhao Yong."
Li Manjun thought that Zhao Yong had spent a lot of money without saying a word, but when he picked up the list and looked at it, he found that it was exactly what Wan Rongming said, seven or eight thousand yuan.
Seeing that Li Manjun was still relieved, Shen Ailian said funnyly: "Aren't you angry about this?"
"Who doesn't have a hobby? I didn't know he actually liked these little things before." Li Manjun put down the list and suddenly remembered that he hadn't bought a gift for Zhao Yong for a long time.
Since having her daughter, most of her energy has been focused on her. Coupled with her busy work schedule, she and Zhao Yong have not been out alone for a long time.
They haven't visited the self-service hot pot restaurant near their home for a long time.
Thinking of this, Li Manjun leaned on the high counter and asked Wan Rongming, who was playing with a folding fan: "My husband has always wanted a set of the four treasures of the study. Do you have the ink and inkstone?"
As he said that, seeing Wan Rongming's eyes light up and looking like he was ready to kill, Li Manjun quickly added: "Are you a friend? If you are a friend, please pay attention to me!"
Judging from her tone, she wants to be a real guy.
Shen Ailian first sighed in her heart that the young couple had such a good relationship, and then reminded: "It's not cheap if you come here."
Knowing that Li Manjun wanted to give her husband real antiques, Wan Rongming asked jokingly: "Where did Boss Li get rich again? Why didn't he bring Big Brother with him?"
Li Manjun smiled and said nothing, walked out from behind the counter, told Wan Rongming not to forget to find a good inkstone and good ink for himself, and strode away with a tote bag and high heels.
Shen Ailian picked up the feather duster and swept away the dust on the bottles and jars, and sighed: "Xiao Li and Zhao Yong are in true love."
Wan Rongming looked at his wife funny, "Aren't we?" Why do we need to envy other people's youth?
Hearing the implication of her husband's words, Shen Ailian gave him a shy and rare sound, turned around, and raised the corners of her mouth sweetly.
After the National Day, workers came back to work one after another, and the construction progress of the new home accelerated, and it will almost be completed by the end of the year.
Let it dry, let it air out, and dissipate the smell, then you can move it in in the spring after the new year.
Now that my family has a big house, all the things that were originally piled in the corridors can be moved to the new house. The small home we live in now looks much cleaner.
Li Manjun and Zhao Yong felt that their daughter had suddenly grown up in the blink of an eye.
The temperature in Rongcheng dropped sharply in December, getting colder day by day.
Sister Zhou lit up the charcoal stove and placed it under the kotatsu in front of the sofa. She sat on the sofa and played with the tassels on the sofa. When she saw Sister Zhou lifting the tablecloth, her attention immediately shifted.
Sister Zhou smiled at her and warned, "Be good every year. Aunt Zhou will come to play with you soon."
Nian Nian rolled his eyes and suddenly wanted to go to the ground.
The sofa is not high from the ground, and the floor is covered with sponge boards bought by Zhao Yong. Since she can crawl, she likes to crawl around on the ground next to the sofa every year. The gaps in the ground can arouse her desire to explore.
Sister Zhou watched her turn around, move her butt out first, then her legs, then her body, and then she slid down by holding on to the edge of the sofa.
This is a very common thing. Except when we first saw it, the whole family was excited for a night, and then we got used to it.
