Li Lin reached out and pulled a wire on the wall, and the entire basement immediately lit up.
Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the dazzling light. The light was like a will-o'-the-wisp in the dark space, making people shudder.
The basement is quite large, extending from the reverse side of the house to the yard. The walls are all made of large bluestones, and you can feel the astonishing chill when you touch them.
"Brother Yang, is this little yellow croaker worth the money?" Li Lin said proudly.
The basement did bring a lot of shock to Yang Jun, but he had been a man for two generations, which caused some fluctuations in his calm personality.
"Make a lot of money, make a lot of money."
If Li Lin hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known there was a basement here.
This little yellow croaker is so worth it.
After Li Lin was so proud, he was inevitably a little disappointed. When he thought that his ancestral property was gone, he no longer wanted to show off.
"This place used to be an icehouse. It used to be used by wealthy people to escape the heat in the summer. I remember when I was young, my grandfather took our family to hide here to escape the massacre of the Japanese. Speaking of which, if there were no icehouse,
, our Li family would not be what it is today."
Li Lin said sadly, his nose twitching. It seemed that he still had a lot of affection for this house, especially this ice room, which once saved their family's lives.
Now he had to leave this yard, and when he thought that he would never be able to come back, he suddenly felt sad.
"Brother Li, if you feel homesick in the future, you are welcome to come and visit us at any time."
Yang Jun knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to say a few words of comfort.
When Li Lin heard this, he smiled bitterly, shook his head and walked out of the ice room.
After sending Li Lin away, Yang Jun restored the stone table. Then he returned to the reverse chamber and took a look. The entrance to the cave was indeed restored to its original state.
Yang Jun raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already time for lunch. He didn't go out to eat. Instead, he took out a bowl of mutton ramen from the space.
The ramen was put into the space right after it came out of the pot. When it was taken out, it was still steaming. Yang Jun blew the hot steam and slowly enjoyed the food.
After having lunch, he put the bowl into the space, locked the courtyard door, and drove towards Lao Wu's house.
With the Siheyuan, the decoration plan will also change.
The family's old house is not in a hurry to be renovated now. He asked Lao Wu to decorate this side first, and then all the family will move in. As for the old house over there, he can give it to Yangmei as a wedding room.
Originally he planned to buy a house for Yang Mei as a wedding room, but Yang Jun fell in love with this courtyard at first sight, so he changed his mind temporarily. He kept the courtyard on Jinshui Bridge for himself and gave the house he had just renovated to her.
bayberry.
Yang Jun brought Lao Wu to Jinshuiqiao Courtyard and told him the decoration plan.
"All the interior and exterior walls should be repainted. The paint on the verandah should be patched up. The roof should also be inspected. If there is any leakage, the tiles should be replaced."
"As for the floor tiles..."
Yang Jun gave Lao Wu a look that made you understand.
Afterwards, the two came to the yard and looked at some green sewage channels in the pond.
"Find someone to clean the pond as well."
Yang Jun thought about buying a few fish to keep. Not to mention buying some expensive koi, at least he would put a few carp in it to change the feng shui.
When he came to the upside-down room, Yang Jun first opened the room with the secret room on the far left, told Lao Wu that this room would not be decorated, and then went to the two upside-down rooms next to it.
One is a bathroom, which was renovated by the original owner of the yard, Li Lin. The sewer pipe runs from the road in front of the door to the public toilet not far away.
This also saved Yang Jun trouble. However, the bathroom was not tiled, but was just plastered with cement.
"Reinstall the toilet and build a bathtub next to it."
As Yang Jun spoke, he told Lao Wu what needed to be changed.
Lao Wu listened carefully and quickly jotted down a piece of paper with the tip of a pencil.
Later, the two came to another inverted room.
This room is reserved for the kitchen.
"When the time comes, clear out all the debris here, build two stoves here against the wall, and then build a workbench here."
The kitchen and bathroom are places that pay attention to hygiene. Yang Jun requires that the floors and walls be covered with floor tiles, so ordinary floor tiles will suffice.
Several stone slabs in the yard were cracked, and Yang Jun also requested to replace them with new ones.
Doors and windows need to be replaced and repaired, but the windows must be opened wider. Just like the house renovated before, large pieces of glass must be used.
From now on, we will live in a closed courtyard, and each family will live their own lives. We no longer have to look at the eyes of other people in the courtyard to do anything like when we were in a large courtyard.
Normally, the tooth festival is held secretly, and the new clothes are not dared to be shared. If I go out to drink some wine, I have to use a soy sauce bottle to show off.
Most of the families here in Jinshui Bridge live in separate houses like this. Everyone usually closes the door and no one cares about anyone else's business. It's hard to protect yourself these days. Who has the time to care about other people's business?
.
Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, and don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles.
Most of the people who can live in single-family houses here in Jinshui Bridge are people of high status. They have high wages, good benefits, and no worries about food and clothing. No one would have such a small-minded mentality, let alone whose
Butts are not that clean.
Yang Jun looked more and more satisfied with this courtyard house.
After discussing the decoration details with Lao Wu, he drove directly to the credit union with Lao Wu and withdrew two thousand yuan as a deposit for the decoration.
The renovation this time is better than the last one, so it naturally costs more. The two thousand yuan seems like a lot, I'm afraid I can't even buy the floor tiles, it's just a deposit.
Yang Jun asked Lao Wu to decorate as soon as possible, don't be afraid of spending money, hire more people, and try to complete the decoration within half a month.
It's not that he has to rush to move in, it's that he has to rush.
He wanted to free up the house for Yang Mei as soon as possible. In addition, Yang Anguo was coming back soon. He couldn't just find him a job and just ignore everything. At least give him a place to live.
When the time comes for their family to move to Jinshui Bridge, the old house can be temporarily lent to Yang Anguo, so that no one will live there and the house will be empty.
Yang Jun threw the key to the courtyard to Lao Wu, and then drove back to the steel rolling mill by himself.
Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also the day when Yi Qiushui returns to peace. The two of them made an appointment early in the morning to go back early today.
In fact, according to the custom of Sijiu City, yesterday should be the day to go back to my parents' home, but yesterday happened to be the first day of work at the steel rolling mill. The two of them are the leaders of each department, and many things cannot be done without them, so I have to put the day to work.
It was postponed for a day.
However, for Yang Jun and Yi Qiushui, the custom of "Guining" is dispensable. It's just a trip to their parents' home. It doesn't matter if they go back any day.
On the way back, Yang Jun parked the car on the side of the road and took out four gifts from the space.
Zhonghua cigarettes, Maotai liquor, four-color dim sum and ten pounds of pork.
Newcomers cannot go back to Ning empty-handed, otherwise they will be laughed at, but gifts are also particular, usually in even numbers of two, four, six, eight, and ten. If it is more difficult, you can carry less things and have more money.
Generally speaking, four or six will be the standard.
Yang Jun was not willing to show off in front of the big leaders, so he only prepared four gifts.
