Chapter 1207 A small courtyard with beautiful environment
Ran Qiuye was really satisfied with her new house, which was beyond her expectation. Her irritable mood was instantly gone. After returning to the grape trellis in the backyard, the smile on Ran Qiuye's face never stopped.
Sitting under the grape trellis again, Ran Qiuye first expressed his gratitude to Duan Hongxuan and He Yuyu very solemnly, and then he was in the mood to fully appreciate the scenery of this small courtyard.
With this feeling, Ran Qiuye suddenly realized, huh? This yard is a bit unusual!
At first, Ran Qiuye just thought that the courtyard was well decorated. The lush green plants in the courtyard made people feel happy, and the courtyard seemed to have a slightly refreshing feeling.
But now, after taking a closer look, the attentive Ran Qiuye suddenly discovered that the air in this courtyard seemed a bit unusual.
Ran Qiuye closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, feeling it carefully, then opened her eyes and asked He Yuyu: "Yuyu, why do I feel that your yard is a little different?"
"Teacher Ran, what's the difference?"
Ran Qiuye shook his head: "I can't tell you specifically. It seems that the air in your yard is fresher than outside. I don't know if it's my imagination!"
Duan Hongxuan laughed and said: "Hahaha, Teacher Ran, last time we went to Beihai, Beihai Park was lined with green trees. Not only was the scenery beautiful, but the air there was also fresher than elsewhere!
The reason for this is because there are many trees planted in the park, and the more green plants and air, the better.
Although my small yard is only small with front and back entrances, look at it, both the front yard and the back yard are planted with a lot of green plants, including such big grape vines!
Teacher Ran, when autumn comes and the grapes are ripe, you can try my grapes, they taste good!"
Ran Qiuye looked at the pomegranate trees outside the side rooms on both sides and the tall leafy pine tree at the entrance, then looked at the grapes on the top of his head, and nodded suspiciously: "That's true, you do have a lot of green plants in your yard!
Da Zhuang doesn’t have these in their yard!”
Han Dazhuang shook his head: "The entire courtyard of Hongxuan belongs to him. He can decorate it however he wants. Of course, his own courtyard must be decorated better.
If I had such a separate yard, I would also plant some flowers and plants in the yard. After all, some green plants in the yard are eye-catching.
Our yard is different. There are so many families living in one yard. Except for our own home and the small plot of land under the eaves of our house, the rest of the land is public land. We usually leave things there, so who would care to plant them?
Tree!
Besides, with so many families living in such a big yard, everyone feels that there is not enough space in their own homes, and they are all thinking of ways to occupy more public areas and plant trees? Haha, which one? Plant trees?
Whose family does it belong to? There are so many things to do!"
Duan Hongxuan smiled and nodded: "Indeed! Of the public courtyards in our entire alley, there are basically few courtyards with trees.
The courtyard next to it is pretty good. There is a tree in the backyard that is quite old!
If it's not cold anymore, the deaf old ladies and the rest of them would often sit under the shade of the trees to enjoy the coolness in the afternoon.
If the weather is hot, they usually sit under a tree to enjoy the shade and chat after dinner.
In fact, my yard is a bit small, with only two entrances.
If I had a bigger yard, for example, twice as big as the next door, I would not only plant some flowers and plants in the yard, but I would also dig a small pond in the yard and raise a few fish and some lotus flowers.
What!
In fact, there are many courtyards in the capital that were originally quite good. They were the original palaces of some princes. Not only did the courtyards occupy a large area, but the courtyards themselves were also quite well laid out.
But now many of these courtyards have been divided into small courtyards, and some have been occupied by some units and turned into office spaces. It is really a pity!
When the country gradually becomes rich in a few decades, if I have money, I will definitely choose a better and larger old palace courtyard, buy it, and decorate it well."
Yu Haitang wrinkled his nose: "Brother Hongxuan is bragging!
The courtyards of the royal palaces you mentioned have long been divided into messes, and many of them are occupied by the public. No matter how rich you are, you can't even think of buying them.
What's more, housing is so tight now. How is it possible for you to want to occupy such a big yard by yourself!
Even if there is a country, I can’t sell it to you!”
"Haha! Haitang, don't tell me, maybe one day I will actually buy a big courtyard in the old palace!
As for the housing shortage for public offices you mentioned, in our hutong, as long as we find a piece of land and build a few high-rise residential buildings, it will be enough for the people in this hutong, so this hutong can be freed up all at once!
Moreover, it is inconvenient to use water, go to the toilet, bathe, cook, etc. when living in an alley!
How nice the building is. It has a bathroom and a kitchen at home, and the water supply and drainage are directly connected to the home. It’s much more convenient than a courtyard house!”
Yu Haitang nodded: "That's right, living in a building is more comfortable than living in a courtyard!
Brother Hongxuan, if a courtyard is so inconvenient, why do you still want to buy a courtyard?"
"Haha! It's convenient to live in a building, but it's too high and ungrounded.
Although many courtyard houses are inconvenient, if you are willing to spend money to renovate them, I feel they are more comfortable than living in a building.
Look at our yard, the kitchen, water, bathroom and even bathing are very convenient. We can also plant some flowers and plants in the yard. If you want to exercise, you can exercise in the yard.
If you live in a building and you want to exercise, you have to go downstairs to find a more spacious place!
Think about Beihai Park again, how wonderful that place is!"
"Can you really think about returning Beihai Park? Do you think you are the emperor of the old society? Can you care about such a big Beihai Park?
Although Beihai was a private garden for the royal family in the past, it is now a People's Park open to the common people.
Humph! This is a serious remnant of feudalism. If others hear this, you will be criticized!"
Duan Hongxuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yu Haitang, who looked upright, feeling funny in his heart.
I will let you dance now, and I will take care of you later! When I go to Hong Kong Island and live in a private villa, I will see how you can be righteous and Lingran!
Ran Qiuye shook his head: "The more Hongxuan talks, the more outrageous it becomes!
Now it’s great to be able to live in a private house like you, no matter how many people would envy you!”
Being interrupted like this, Ran Qiuye forgot about the unique environment of the small courtyard. Also, with so many trees planted in this courtyard, the air and other things must be better than other bare places.
Thinking of this, Ran Qiuye sighed with envy: "Oh! I really envy you to have your own yard. We don't know if we will have this blessing in the future!"
Han Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's probably not easy to have a separate courtyard. The first master has been working as an eighth-level worker for so many years, and he has saved a lot of money, but he doesn't want to have a separate courtyard.
Just thinking about multiple rooms is too much!
I'll work hard and wait until I become a level six worker in two years to see if I can get a house!"
He Yuyu nodded: "Brother Da Zhuang, this is a pragmatic attitude!" After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Duan Hongxuan, "It is serious to try to give you a room in the steel factory!
After you and Teacher Ran got married, you had children. After a few years, they will grow up gradually. By then, your family’s current housing will become increasingly tight, so Brother Da Zhuang will try his best to get the steel rolling mill.
Allocating a room to you is the most important thing!
Okay, it's time to cook.
Teacher Ran, please stay for dinner today. What do you like to eat? It’s a happy event for you and Brother Da Zhuang to receive your certificate today. We want to celebrate today. I’ll ask Brother Hongxuan to make it for you whatever you like to eat!”
Ran Qiuye already knew that this group of people often come to Duan Hongxuan's place to eat. She was surprised at the beginning, then confused, and now she is used to it. Anyway, she feels that this group of people are not like other people who eat at other people's houses.
Eating is so important, as if Duan Hongxuan's place is a public canteen where they eat Xiaozao, or a free public canteen.
The key is that Duan Hongxuan doesn't seem to care at all, and he seems to have more ingredients than he can eat.
Thinking of this, Ran Qiuye smiled and nodded: "Okay! Then I won't be polite to you!
By the way, Yuyu, Haitang, Jingru, oh, and Hongxuan, please don’t call me Teacher Ran from now on, call me Sister Qiuye!"
He Yuyu and others nodded, and Yu Haitang said happily: "Yes! Calling Teacher Ran will make you look more mature, and Sister Qiuye will seem much closer! Then we will call you Sister Qiuye from now on!"
Duan Hongxuan looked at Han Dazhuang with a smile: "Brother Dazhuang and I have known each other before, so I think I'd better call you Sister-in-law Qiuye!"
When Han Dazhuang heard this, he kept laughing happily. Ran Qiuye blushed but did not object: "It's up to you, as long as you don't call me Teacher Ran again!"
He Yuyu and others also chuckled, and then He Yuyu said to Duan Hongxuan: "Brother Hongxuan, why don't you hurry up and prepare dinner to celebrate Brother Da Zhuang and Sister Qiuye!"
Duan Hongxuan said depressedly: "Starting from tomorrow, you and Haitang will learn how to cook from Jingru!"
"Hmph! Haitang and I don't plan to be chefs, so we won't learn!
Haitang, let's go and get Huahua and Xiaodang back. These two girls don't have time to play at the old lady's place!
Brother Hongxuan, I’ll leave the cooking to you and Jingru, don’t be lazy today! Cack!”
He Yuyu proudly pulled Yu Haitang and ran away laughing.
