simple life

After dinner, the two continued the topic of last night.

Tang Guo: "Preparation is necessary, what do you think we should do?"

Yan Ting drank a glass of water: "Both software and hardware must be prepared. Let's talk about the hardware first. First, change the wall over the bathroom and surround the banyan tree in the yard to prevent people from climbing in along the trunk. The vegetable garden also Wrap up a pointed iron fence, and then make greenhouse vegetables in the future. The door and glass of the house will also be replaced, making it thicker and warmer. We also need to lay solar panels on the roof, buy more coal, and Work needs to be done on heat preservation and electricity use. If it is worse, the lack of electricity supply in the whole city will be miserable."

"Let's talk about the software part. The software is mainly for food and clothing, so save more food by then. It's no problem to grow vegetables in a greenhouse, but the key is meat. I think it is necessary to raise some chickens by myself..." Yan Ting suddenly You can say a lot.

"At that time, I want to take my parents and my brother over... If there is a mess, it will definitely be terrible..." Tang Guo said suddenly.

"Okay, then we have to plan the layout of the house carefully. Let's go home and do the math and change the house. Anyway, it's still early." Yan Ting was full of confidence.

"Good idea!" Tang Guo hurriedly took out a pen and paper, and drew the layout of the whole house.

"According to the opinion you just mentioned, I think this can be done. First of all, let's talk about the banyan tree. We can build a separate wall to surround it. From our existing wall, next to the bathroom, we can build a The door, so that you can enter under the banyan tree, and then set up a chicken coop and a duck coop inside, and you can feed some chickens and ducks.”

"Well, this is feasible." Yan Ting nodded in agreement.

"Okay, next, let's talk about the interior layout of the house. Maybe a few years before the incident, everyone will live here... Right!"

Tang Guo suddenly looked at Yan Ting: "Can I tell Jiang Qi and the others about this?"

Yan Ting: "Are they reliable? It's dangerous to talk around."

Tang Guo: "No. The two of them are good friends with me, and besides me, they have no relatives or friends. They are orphans. I also thought of this, so I won't tell my parents, after all They will be jealous of relatives."

The orphan... Yan Ting nodded: "Then you can figure it out! Make sure that they don't tell it."

"Well, thank you! Then let's continue. My parents and brother will come to live in this house in the future. Jiang Qi and the others need to come too!"

"Hey, wait!" Yan Ting asked a question, "Tang Guo, if your parents come to live, what will happen to your house? Just leave it empty? Let's go back before it's time? Maybe it's better there? This house can let Bai Li and the others live here, and they can help guard the house."

"Um, it's okay, but it's not very good!" Tang Guo was embarrassed.

"What do you mean?" Yan Ting was puzzled.

"Didn't I tell you? I have a lot of bad relatives in my family."

"They are the ones who can only have a meal together and then get together and leave. They talk better than anyone else, and when they need help with anything, they are better than outsiders..." After taking a sip of water, he continued.

"Everyone looks happy on the surface, but in fact...it's hard to say. Even my mother's sisters-in-law, that is, my aunts, are one and two... Every time I see them acting, I feel embarrassed."

"Understood..." Yan Ting thought, how unlucky it must be to meet a group of top-notch...

"Anyway, my grandfather is only my father, and those relatives are cousins, so I don't care..." Speaking of which, Tang Guo also thought that he was quite cold.

"What about your grandparents?"

"I went there when I was in high school..." Grandpa and grandma loved him the most, and Tang Guo cried for a long time at that time...

"Let's talk about the people in our village. Some of them are very good, but some of them are top-notch. They are usually fine, and each family is closed to live. But in that special period, I am afraid that there will be conflicts..."

"But what about your house and land? Especially the fields. Of course it's nothing now. Many people have moved to the city to make more money, and there are idle fields everywhere. But when the global temperature cools down and food production decreases , the field will highlight its importance," Yan Ting asked a new question.

"...Although my family is in the countryside, I don't rely on farming for food. There are not many fields, and some of them are quite far from home. While there is still plenty of time, it is enough to save more food... As for the future, wait When things settle down, let’s make plans!”

That's what I said, but Tang Guo was really helpless, if he could, then it would be great for him to go back.

Although the family does not rely on farming for food, at least they still have that one-third of an acre of land.And there is also a vegetable garden at home, although it is much smaller than here, but with the blessing of his spiritual spring, eating vegetables is not a problem.

But as long as he has a spiritual spring by his side, it won't be too bad in that environment in the future, those people will be like tarsus maggots... and although his parents don't have a good sense of these people, they still I will always remember the friendship that everyone is from the same ancestor...

"Then don't go back, it's still early, let's make a good plan for our family, take them over next year for the festival and get through this disaster..." Yan Ting made a decision.

Then he comforted: "In fact, don't worry too much. If the situation is out of control, it will be useless to do anything. If the situation is good, then the government will definitely think of countermeasures. Anyway, they know about this matter, and they will compare We cherish our lives even more. If the preliminary work is prepared, it shouldn’t be too bad.”

Hearing this, Tang Guo changed his heavy expression just now, and showed a smiling face: "Okay... By the way, where did we discuss just now?"

Yan Ting: "Speaking of the renovation of the interior of the house."

Tang Guo: "Oh, let's move on! Well...you see, the kitchen and the living room are actually about the same size. I want to convert both of them into bedrooms. The main room becomes the living room, and then the warehouse behind the main room becomes kitchen."

Show the schematic diagram to Yan Ting: "Look, that's it. Seal the door from the living room to the main room, and seal the door from the living room to the kitchen. Then, from the main room to the wall of the warehouse, seal the door to the kitchen. Open a door alone..."

Yan Ting: "In this case, the living room and the kitchen become two separate bedrooms."

Tang Guo: "That's the way it should be. Well, the warehouse is a bit narrow compared to other rooms, so we have to use closets, and it's good to arrange it reasonably and lay tiles. As for the main room's door, we don't need it. Go up the wall, open two windows on it, and open a door from the side next to my bedroom...the kitchen and living room come out."

Yan Ting thought about it according to his idea: "This is not bad, then there will be four bedrooms. At that time, your parents will have one, and your elder brother will have one. If Bai Li and Jiang Qi come, they will sleep with me." In that room, I'll sleep with you!"

"Who will sleep with you, I will sleep with my brother, and you will sleep alone!" Tang Guo rolled his eyes at him.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. We won't open the store tomorrow, so we will go buy materials. This job is not too much. If we hire more people, we can finish it in a few days." After speaking, look at Tang But, ask him what he thinks.

Tang Guo: "No problem! Then when I come back from buying materials tomorrow, you have to help me move all the flowers to the garden, otherwise after the construction is completed, the flowers will be covered with dust."

Yan Ting: "Okay. Then we will start construction the day after tomorrow. First, we will clean up the warehouse and turn it into a kitchen, otherwise it will be inconvenient to cook... Ah! By the way, we have changed the small warehouse into a kitchen, so where are we going to set up the warehouse? It's a big problem."

Tang Guo frowned: "I actually forgot this question."

Yan Ting: "Think about it carefully. After all, this is your house, and you have to think carefully about any changes you want to make."

Tang Guo shook his head: "If you have any ideas, you can talk about them. I don't understand these things, so it's a bit difficult for me to come up with something temporarily."

Yan Ting thought about it, and after a while, he said, "Well...how about we set up another warehouse?"

"Another one? How?" Tang Guo wondered.

Yan Ting: "I've been walking around your house for the past two days, and found that there is still a lot of room behind the house. How about we open a door at the wall behind the house? Then lay a foundation outside and build a new warehouse What do you think? In this way, the warehouse can be as big as possible."

Tang Guo's eyes lit up: "You can have this! Then let's do it like this!"

Yan Ting smiled and said: "Since you think it's okay, then we can go to see how big a warehouse can be built in a while, and then use lime to plan it. Tomorrow, we will buy the materials we need and hire more masters, so that we can It will be finished soon."

For the next two weeks, Tang's house was under construction every day.

Other tasks are done relatively quickly, but it takes more time to build a warehouse.After all, it is a new house, and everything starts from scratch. It takes a few days just to dig the foundation and build the foundation.Sealing bricks is a piece, but the roof can only be laid with steel bars after the brick wall is firm.

It was not good for the two stores to close. After discussing, Yan Ting decided to close his own store and put up a sign saying "Closed for home visits".

Let Tang Guo's shop continue to operate.After all, Tang Guo was too young to understand many things.Moreover, he was not as strong as Yan Ting, and he couldn't arrange meals for the workers, so he couldn't help much.

During this period of time, the weather was not bad, and Tang Guo and the others paid a high salary and the food was good, so they worked very hard.

After two weeks, the remodeling of all the rooms and the construction of the banyan tree wall were completed.

The refitting part actually took only a week, only the building of the warehouse took that long.The warehouse has only just been roofed, and it will take a long time to wait for it to dry before proceeding to the next process.So you can leave it alone.

Among the renovations inside the house, Tang Guo was most satisfied with the kitchen transformed from a warehouse.In addition to the wall cabinets, many things are also suspended, which not only looks more foreign, but also looks much more spacious.

The cooking table built directly with cement and tiles, as well as the self-renovated new cleaning pool, also fit Tang Guo's wishes.Sure enough, no matter what, what I put my heart and soul into is to look satisfied.

After finishing all the details that should be trimmed, Tang Guo and Yan Ting spent the whole day cleaning the house inside and out.

It turned out that Tang Guo didn't intend to take the furniture that belonged to the owner.With a wave of his hand, he decided to change all the large furniture!Of course, there was a reason why Yan Ting was pushing hard.But anyway, Yan Ting paid for it, so let's change them all!

Tang Guo didn't go to shop today, but went to Luo Shi's house at noon.

Tang Guo went straight to the point: "Uncle Luo, I want to change all the furniture. I want to ask you where I can get it here or elsewhere?"

"Xiao Tang, those furniture are still in good condition, why did they change all of a sudden?" Luo Shi was puzzled.

Tang Guo: "It's like this. I want to take my parents and some friends over to live here in the future, so I remodeled the house. In this way, some furniture is not very suitable, and I have to replace it with new styles. .Since most of them have been replaced, let’s replace them all. Then they will be happy to see it. So come to ask Uncle Luo if there is anything you need, or if you know where it is useful. If you find a place to go, it’s not considered wasted."

"Since this is the case, then I'll move here! I'll see if there are any suitable ones. I'll send the others to my relatives in the countryside. They should use them." Luo Shi said.

Tang Guo: "That would be great! Uncle Luo, why don't you move now! My friends and I will help, and the move will be finished in a while. We can go buy new ones in the afternoon." Can dispose of the furniture smoothly, Tang very happy.

After moving the furniture away, in the afternoon, Tang Guo brought the furniture city's motorcade to bring in new furniture.

"Put this bed here... Yes, Yan Ting, the other side should be about one meter away from the wall." Tang Guo directed the others to place the furniture.So the men are really efficient in shopping. Tang Guo and they bought everything in less than two hours.If you are a girl, you may need to go shopping slowly and shop around.

So how did they buy it?Well, first of all, I went directly to the mall, saw a suitable bed, and bought it together with the four-piece suit above.Moreover, it is in quadruplicate.In other words, the beds and four-piece sets in the four bedrooms at home are all in the same pattern, but the colors are slightly different.

Then, each bedroom is equipped with matching wardrobes, furniture such as tables and chairs.In general, let's start with this!When they come over later, they can add it according to their wishes.

After the employees of the furniture city left, the two discussed and adjusted some layouts.The two of them didn't stop until there was nothing unpleasant to look at, and admired the combination of city and country style, warm and practical house.
