"Shujie, I'm here at your new house. Where are you?" Cao Tiemin couldn't find Cao Shujie, so he took out his cell phone and called him.
When he learned that Fa Xiao had arrived, Cao Shujie said to him: "Don't move there, I'll go find you right now."
Not long after, Cao Shujie came down the mountain with his wife, holding his daughter Mengmeng in his arms.
After seeing Cao Tiemin, Cao Shujie shouted: "I just took them up, and you came over on the back foot. Are you speeding on the road?"
"Speed your grandma's legs." Cao Tiemin subconsciously wanted to punch him.
But when he saw Cao Shujie holding his daughter, he stopped his fists. If they made a fuss and accidentally hit the child, it would be bad.
"Mengmeng, call me uncle." Cao Shujie taught his daughter.
Mengmeng looked at Cao Tiemin for a while, then smiled and said, "Uncle, okay!"
"Hey!" Cao Tiemin responded and muttered: "I was in a hurry when I came out, and I didn't bring any gifts to Mengmeng."
As he spoke, he took out a 100 note from his trouser pocket and said, "Here, take this to buy something for the child."
Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin quickly refused, and this time even Mengmeng didn't want them.
"Shujie, look at how bad you are. Why can't you give me some money to my niece? It's not fun." Cao Tiemin said in a sullen voice.
Cao Shujie chuckled: "Tiemin, let's go quickly, go in and have a look, and help me decorate the house more beautifully."
"How beautiful do you want the decoration to be? How much is the budget?" Cao Tiemin said to him: "This thing can fluctuate a lot."
"I know, why don't I ask you to decorate it for me?" Cao Shujie said and entered through the gate.
His wife followed closely behind.
Cao Tiemin and the two people he brought also followed in.
There is a large courtyard, a two-story building, and a house on the east side, which is connected to the small two-story building on the north side, which is used as a kitchen.
Cao Shujie also plans to place a small boiler for heating here.
The stairs are on the left side of the corridor and have been equipped with guardrails.
The bathroom is on the south side and is an independent room.
The most important thing is that there is also a row of lower houses on the west wall, divided into several rooms.
Cao Tiemin was puzzled: "Shujie, isn't this a place for people to live?"
"Doghouse, I plan to raise a few more dogs in the future, are you excited?" Cao Shujie liked it very much when he saw this.
As soon as Mengmeng heard the word "dog", she shouted: "Beautiful."
"Yes, yes, I asked your uncle Tiemin to decorate the kennel beautifully."
Cao Tiemin was too lazy to pay attention to him. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He asked, "Shujie, this place is great. How much did it cost in total?"
To be honest, he also wanted to have something like this in his hometown so that he could live comfortably.
But the problem is that he doesn't have that much money, and he still has to consider his children's future schooling and their family's livelihood. This kind of thing is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and he is not as ambitious as he thought little Cao Shujie was.
Cao Shujie stretched out two fingers: "It's a bit over the budget, but it's okay. It won't be demolished every ten or eight years."
"That's right."
Cao Tiemin entered the house and took a look around the layout. From time to time, he discussed with Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin what should be placed in which place, and how to design which place would be better to make it look more layered and spacious.
Three-dimensional feeling.
In this regard, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin didn't understand much, they just stated their requests.
When going up the stairs, Cao Tiemin held on to the iron railing and muttered: "I will clad the outside for you when the time comes. It will look beautiful."
"Okay, you can take care of this." Cao Shujie thought about it. Some things are definitely beyond the budget. It doesn't matter if you spend more than you spend. Sooner or later, you can make money back.
There is also a living room in the middle of the second floor, with four rooms on the east and west sides. Cao Tiemin entered the master bedroom and suddenly said, "Shujie, your grandma is really good at enjoying herself. She even added a new one in the bedroom."
Small room for bathing.”
"Isn't this house just for convenience? Now I don't have to go out and I can go to bed after taking a shower. It's so comfortable." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Tiemin was convinced and nodded: "Two hundred thousand is fine!"
He is no longer just envious now.
"Shujie, to be honest, can you really make money at home?" Cao Tiemin hesitated and asked him.
Cao Shujie smiled: "It mainly depends on whether it fits or not. Besides, mentality also has a great influence. I'm open to it now. If I can stand it, can you?"
When Cao Tiemin heard what he said, he immediately gave up the immature idea in his mind: "Forget it, I'll just do my decoration outside."
A ruler is short, an inch is long, things are insufficient, and wisdom is unclear.
This is how people are, there are always areas where their abilities are lacking.
Cao Tiemin couldn't stand the feeling of loneliness and waiting in the orchard.
After reading it all, Cao Tiemin asked the couple if they had any other requests.
"Honey, let's see if there's anything else you want to add." Cao Shujie didn't care anymore and said to his wife Cheng Xiaolin.
Cheng Xiaolin thought seriously for a while before making a few requests. Cao Tiemin wrote them all down one by one.
At the end, Cheng Xiaolin said with a smile: "That's all."
"Okay, let the house dry for two or three months first. I will take advantage of this time to get you a design drawing. If it is confirmed, I will start preparing materials. When July or August, I will come over to start construction." Cao Tiemin
Said this.
Cheng Xiaolin was a little surprised: "Will it take so long?"
She was still thinking about moving in as soon as possible!
Cao Shujie knew a little better. He put his hand on the wall and said, "The house has just been built and it's too wet. It needs to be dried."
"Shujie is right. Decoration at this time is useless. When the time comes, the walls will bulge, crack, fall off, and become moldy. These are not minor problems. The house will not be built in a day or two. Just wait patiently." Cao Tiemin said.
Cheng Xiaolin was a little embarrassed, but Cao Shujie didn't care.
After reading it, they came out together. Cao Tiemin glanced up the mountain and became interested: "Shujie, what did you do up there? I want to go up and have a look too?"
"What's the secret here? Let's go." Cao Shujie hugged his daughter and took him up again.
Cheng Xiaolin watched her husband hug Mengmeng all the way, and was afraid that he would be tired: "Shujie, please give me Mengmeng."
But what she didn't expect was that Mengmeng didn't look for her, instead she put her arms around her father's neck and hugged her tightly: "I want dad to hug me."
"Hey, it's a good thing you're not happy." Cheng Xiaolin smiled, but it wasn't that she didn't want to share the burden for her husband.
She also joked: "Mengmeng, why do you love your father so much?"
"I like daddy!" Mengmeng said vaguely. She didn't know yet that "people's hearts are sinister and there are clichés in their words."
After Cao Tiemin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Children aged two or three are at their most lovable.
Arriving at the orchard on the mountain, Cao Tiemin first saw more than thirty people weeding and leveling the ground in the mountain field. He also saw Cao Zhenggang and the others digging holes, and Han who was drilling holes a little further away.
Calm them down.
At that moment, Cao Tiemin suddenly realized that compared with Fa Xiao Cao Shujie, he was really not even a little bit behind.
"Are you planning to stay here for the rest of your life?" Cao Tiemin asked subconsciously.
"Yeah!" Cao Shujie smiled: "Isn't it nice to be able to spend time with my wife, children, and parents every day? I will wait until next year to take my grandfather back from his home."
He pointed to this large orchard again: "I have been contracted for 30 years. After excluding the investment expenses in the first few years, I have tidied up more than 80 acres of orchards and can just sit back and make money. Isn't it perfect?"
"Draft, it's a magical day!" Cao Tiemin scolded him directly.
