I hand over the magical old house to the state

Bai Chen went to take a shower to wash away the dust and fatigue from the journey.

Just at this time, Lin Yan prepared the meals, and Bai Zexiang also cleaned the room and made the bedding for him.

"Hurry up and catch up on sleep after eating, your eyes are red." Bai Zexiang said.

"Okay." Bai Chen agreed and sat down at the dining table.

Lin Yan filled the food for him and handed it to him, "Eat it while it's hot."

Meals are not rich, one meat, one vegetable and one soup.The meat one is stir-fried bacon with green peppers, and the vegetarian one is stir-fried eggplant with a vegetable soup.

Except for the bacon, which was saved by the parents, they are all seasonal vegetables.

"Mom and Dad, you can eat too." Bai Chen was really hungry, he only ate instant noodles in the car.

"We're not hungry, we'll eat at dinner time."

The parents sat next to him and watched Bai Chen eat. Seeing that his mental state and complexion were not very good, the two of them looked at each other, feeling unhappy.

I really wanted to ask him if it was too hard or what happened, but I was afraid of disturbing his meal, so I could only sit quietly.

Bai Chen felt a little warm in his heart. He didn't know how long he hadn't felt the warmth of this kind of family.

Although it took over a mess and the life of this body is numbered, at least the family is doing well.

After eating, Lin Yan cleaned up the dishes, and Bai Zexiang wanted to ask about Bai Chen's recent situation, but seeing that Bai Chen's spirit had not improved, he finally urged, "Ah Chen, hurry up and go to sleep for a while to catch up on sleep." .”

"Okay." Bai Chen rinsed his mouth and walked into the bedroom.

Although things have to be done quickly, he is not in a hurry to catch up on a few hours of sleep, and he accepts all the care of his parents.

In my memory, Bai Chen often suffers from insomnia because he has too many things to do and the pressure of starting a business is high.

But now that the core has been changed, even though the situation he is facing is not optimistic and the bedroom is extremely simple, his mentality is much better, and he fell asleep soon after entering the room.

He fell asleep until sunset, when his parents called him up to have dinner before waking up.

Walking out of the bedroom, a scent hits my face.In addition to the aroma of rice and stir-fried vegetables, the most intense aroma is the aroma of stewed chicken.

"Ah Chen, come and eat." Lin Yan called out from the kitchen door.

Bai Zexiang picked up chicken feathers and some rubbish in the yard, and said, "Did you sleep better?"

"much better."

Bai Chen went to the toilet outside the yard, and took a look at the chicken pen and pig pen outside. There were three or five chickens and two pigs in the pen.

This number is very small in a small mountain village like theirs, and the parents can't support them, so they raise less.Now there is still a chicken that has been slaughtered for him because he went home.

The two pigs in the pigsty were very thin, probably because they were fed less food.

Through these observations, combined with the cognition in his brain, Bai Chen is sure that their family is definitely a poor household here, poorer than those identified as poor households.

Because he graduated from university and worked in a big city, his family was not classified as a poor household, and naturally he did not enjoy the treatment of a poor household.

Bai Chen didn't blame the original owner for this matter, it's not that the original owner didn't want the family to live a good life.

To put it bluntly, I was too eager for success and wanted to get rich by leaps and bounds in the shortest time through starting a business, which led to my own failure without taking care of improving the lives of my parents.

Sitting at the dining table, Bai Chen said, "Mom and Dad, I want to renovate our field and old house."

Lin Yan was scooping up chicken for him. When she heard this, she quickly put down the spoon and looked at him, "Renovate the old house? No, what is there to renovate in the old house? You work hard and try to save money to settle down in the city. The old man in the family The house is a bit old, but your dad and I can still live in it, don't worry about it."

Bai Zexiang was about to ask him how he was doing in the city, and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to renovate the old house? Did you encounter any problems in the city?"

It can be seen that all the hope of this family rests on himself. Bai Chen couldn't bear to tell his parents the truth, so he smiled easily and said: "It's nothing, I'm starting my own business now, and my business involves some special agricultural products, and I plan to transform it." For publicity."

Bai Zexiang was dubious, "Your business is in such a big city so far away, so it's not convenient to go back to your hometown to do publicity?"

"No, now that the Internet is developed, all you need to do is take good photos and videos and post them online for promotion." Bai Chen seriously popularized science, "I can't find such a suitable place to shoot materials in the city, even if I can find them, It also costs a lot of money.”

Lin Yan believed 100% in her son's words, "Well, no wonder you said you would stay here for a longer period of time when you come back this time. If you really want to use it for publicity, then do it. Of course we support your cause."

Bai Zexiang always felt unreliable, and asked again: "Is there no other way? It's too far away. If you are in your hometown, will it affect the business in the city?"

"No, there are still people in charge in the city. You can communicate online at any time. Now there is no problem with telecommuting."

"That's fine." Bai Zexiang finally felt relieved, "Then tell me how to change it, and I'll do it."

Bai Chen has been going to school since he was a child, and has never done farm work, let alone building a house.From the perspective of his parents, if he wants to renovate the old house, they must do it.

But Bai Chen who passed through is different. He has a lot of experience in his life in his [-]s, and he can do everything.

"I'll take a look at it tomorrow and come up with a plan first." He said, "You guys are still busy with the original work, I can do it myself, and I will tell you when I need help."

"You don't know how to do it." Bai Zexiang took it for granted, "It's all physical work, and there will be some technical work, so it's not easy to do."

"I've learned a lot after being away from home for so many years. It's not just about learning things from books. I just ask you if I don't know it." Bai Chen expressed confidence.

Seeing that his attitude was serious and firm, Bai Zexiang didn't insist anymore, "All right, then let you try it yourself first."

In fact, Bai Chen just wanted to help his parents to make the house better, and the reason for remodeling it for publicity was a temporary reason he thought of, otherwise it would be difficult to convince them.

However, this reason gave him a new inspiration. After dinner, he simply opened accounts on all major video sites.

Before it was completely dark, he came to the highest point of the small mountain village and took a video from multiple angles.

In the evening in the small rural village with mountains and rivers, the afterglow of the sunset coats the green mountain village with a layer of warm golden color. The smoke from every household is a little golden, and the streams and waterfalls not far away are also shining with golden light.

The very beautiful mountain village picture scroll, accompanied by the sound of birds flying into the woods for the night after a day of foraging, is intoxicating.

I have to say that this place is really a bit like a place where gods live.

Bai Chen immediately installed a video editing software, simply processed the shot video, and it turned out to be a beautiful and healing video.

After processing, he uploaded the video to those video sites.

Before it got dark, Bai Chen returned home and looked at the whole old house inside and out again.

The old house is a wooden structure with earthen walls and black tiles.

In his memory, he doesn't know when the old house was built. It seems to be a long time ago, and there is a high probability that he is older than himself.

The three walls were severely eroded by rain and wind, and several cracks appeared.The color of the wooden siding in the front has turned black, because it is not exposed to rain and has been smoky all year round, so it has not withered.

The tiles are very old, a lot of moss and weeds have grown on the roof, and some places are loose, and it will leak at a glance.

Bai Chen went into the room and turned on the light to see that the beams and columns were also a little crooked.

He knew that the wooden frame of the house, the pillars and beams were thick and strong, and they were fixed with mortise and tenon joints, even if they were slightly skewed, they would not collapse easily.

Otherwise, if people who don't understand read it, they will definitely be regarded as a dangerous house and dare not live in it.

But even so, their old house can be regarded as one of the most dilapidated families in the village, no better than those few families that have been registered as poor households.

Apart from the house, the inside and outside of the yard are also dilapidated. It needs to be repaired and changed.

People in this small mountain village don't know how to pay attention to the living environment, but Bai Chen's parents live a more comfortable life than others.

Bai Chen saw a pile of medicine bottles in the room, as well as some herbal medicines, all of which were used to treat chronic diseases and overworked diseases.The two old people have worked hard for most of their lives, and they have accumulated a lot of diseases, so they have to take medicine for a long time.

Apart from caring about their son's career and life in the city, they probably have nothing else to look forward to, which is why they live such a bad life.

Hey……

Even Bai Chen, who was always in a good mood and positive, couldn't help sighing softly in his heart.

When the family sat and chatted by the fire in the evening, the topic focused on how to transform the old house.

Bai Zexiang spoke first, "Ah Chen, you looked around just now, have you thought about how to change it?"

"First correct the crooked beams and columns, and then repair the roof and walls. It's hard to do these things by yourself, so you need to ask a few people to help." Bai Chen said, "The rest is to change the lighting, and then in the Improve the decoration, and finally renovate the yard. These are not difficult, and I can do it by myself."

"Well, then please ask a few people to help, let's fix the place that should be repaired first." Bai Zexiang nodded, as for the part that Bai Chen said he could do by himself, he was noncommittal, "By the way, the room in the back What about the old dilapidated house, do you want to change it too?"

Bai Chen almost forgot that the old dilapidated house in the back that Bai Zexiang mentioned was a bungalow that was older than the old house they lived in now.

I remember that when he was a child, it was occasionally used to store some sundries, but he didn't use it much later, and now it is completely empty.

Because it is more than ten meters away from the current old house, Bai Chen ignored it when he checked it just now.

"I'll take a look at that tomorrow to see how to change it."

"Well, it's too dilapidated. I'm afraid it will be remodeled in the future, but that one looks too ugly." Bai Zexiang said, "If it's not worth renovating, why don't you ask someone to repair this one? Alright."

"Ah Chen, make up your own mind." Lin Yan interjected, "Your father and I lived in this house as long as we could live in it, and didn't care about it. Since you want to use it for publicity, then everything is according to your needs. , you don't have to think about us."

Bai Chen: "Okay, I'll figure it out, and it will be more comfortable to live in after the renovation."

Sleeping until midnight, Bai Chen woke up suddenly for some reason, and couldn't sleep for a long time after waking up, so he took a flashlight and went outside to use the toilet.

After going to the toilet, he felt that he would not be able to fall asleep anyway if he went back to sleep, so he might as well go and see the even more dilapidated old house.

Soon after arriving in front of the old dilapidated house, Bai Chen pushed open the broken wooden door, waited for the dust to settle a little, then stepped over the threshold and walked in.

The moment he entered it, he felt that the inside was completely different from what he expected, and there was a road extending in it.

At this moment, Bai Chen seemed to be sleepwalking, his mind was not clear, and he walked in along that passage without thinking much.
