Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

Gu Xihe didn't expect that the completely tidy old house was different from the one he had seen before. It turned out that a house with furniture, curtains and pots and pans is called a home.

The old house originally had only three rooms, but they were all very large. Measured in the way of modern people in Zhangchi, each room has an area of ​​more than 20 square meters.Such a large space has not been fully utilized, which is completely useless.

Zhang Chi originally meant to tear down the house and rebuild it, and build the house he wanted according to his own design.But if he did that, the project would be too much, and he would not have enough money.Therefore, he could only make new decorations and arrangements on the basis of the original ones.It has to be said that redecorating the house this time mobilized all Zhang Chi's brains, thought through all the house effects he could think of, and drew an unknown number of drawings to make the house what it is now.Although there is still some gap with the house in his mind, he has tried his best.

It turned out that there was not much furniture in the house, so Zhang Chi went to the town to find a carriage, and after two trips, he brought the furniture and some household items over.Gu Xihe wanted to help, but Zhang Chi strongly refused.

"Xihe, I want to give you a surprise."

Gu Xihe blushed and had no choice but to stand still.He found that the current Zhang Chi made him even more uneasy and it was difficult to let go.

"Xihe, please come in!"

Zhang Chi pushed open the door of the house and made a welcome gesture.

Gu Xihe stepped into the yard, and what he saw was a clump of green bamboos, like a wall blocking his view.Turning around the aisle formed by the bamboo, the sight suddenly opened up, a flat yard, bare, with a cobblestone path in the middle, until the door of the house.

Zhang Chi rubbed his nose, with some regret in his voice, "I planted flowers on both sides, but unfortunately, they haven't grown yet."

Gu Xihe smiled and pushed open the door in the middle of the house.

As soon as he entered the door, what caught Gu Xihe's eyes was a painting on the wall, which was his own handwriting, a lotus flower in full bloom in summer, with a line of words beside it, "The lotus flower in Yingri is uniquely red", but it was Zhang Chi's painting. A poem that I read casually when I saw this painting.He thought Zhang Chi was a vulgar person, but he didn't expect the artistic conception of this poem to be beyond his reach.After the painting was finished, he involuntarily inscribed this poem on it.

Looking at the painting, Gu Xihe suddenly blushed, feeling that his brushwork was immature, not at his best level, and not worthy of Zhang Chi's poem.

He looked away, and under the painting was a long chair covered with soft cotton cushions.On both sides are two grand master chairs, and the seats are also covered with cushions of the same color.In the middle of the chair is a long coffee table with a cloisonné teapot and cups on it.

There is a tall table in the northeast corner, and a hanging basket with emerald green silk ribbons hanging down, adding a bit of vitality to the room.

There is no wallpaper on the wall, just a big white wall, but it makes the whole room look brighter.It was the first time that Gu Xihe knew that the house could still be decorated like this.

Zhang Chijian took Xiao An's hand and walked into the west room, "Xiao An, come, father and father will take you to see your bedroom."

Xiao An said in a soft voice: "Father, what is a bedroom?"

"The bedroom is where you sleep and rest. Look, do you like it?"

Xiao An walked into the room suspiciously, and first saw a small bed under the south window. The height of the bed was only up to his thighs, and it was covered with brand new light blue sheets. Neat quilt.

Xiao An cheered and threw herself on the bed.He rolled over, sat up, blinked his big bright eyes and asked, "Father, is this a bed? Is it my bed?"

"Yes." Seeing Xiao An so happy, Zhang Chi knew that he liked it. "This will be your bedroom from now on, not only this bed, but everything in this room will be yours."

Xiao An's eyes became brighter, he raised his head, and looked at his room seriously.The wall is covered with light green wallpaper, which is his favorite color.

There was a distance between the head of the bed and the wall, and there was a rectangular table in it. There were pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the table, and there were neat stacks of paper beside it, which were the copybooks written by his father.In front of the table is a wooden chair with gray cushions on the seat.

A little above the wall in front of the table was a wooden partition on which stood a fresh candle.

In the northwest corner stood a wooden cabinet, freshly painted, and a few wooden studs were driven into the side wall.

Zhang Chi's eyes kept watching Xiao An's gaze, and he explained to him where he saw it.

"This long table is for you to study. The partition above is for candles, which can be illuminated at night. This cabinet is for your clothes, toys, or your favorite gadgets. The wooden pegs next to it are for hanging For clothes."

"hang clothes?"

"Yes." Zhang Chi opened the closet, took out a coat from Xiao An, and hung him on the hook. "Look, that's it. Wash and fold clothes and put them in the closet. When you get home, hang your unworn coats on the hooks. By the way, you can also fold your clothes and put them away when you go to bed at night." On a chair or on the head of the bed, so you can put and retrieve clothes without getting out of bed, which is very convenient.”

"Thank you father and father."

Xiao An was very satisfied, jumped out of bed, walked to Zhang Chi, hugged Zhang Chi's leg, looked up at him with bright eyes, "Father, I really like my bedroom."

Zhang Chi knelt down, touched his head, and said softly, "It's fine if you like it. However, if you have your own bedroom, you're going to sleep by yourself. Are you afraid?"

Xiao An patted his chest and said proudly: "I'm not afraid!" But then whispered: "Father, before I go to bed, will you still tell me stories?"

"Of course. Father will wait for you to fall asleep before leaving."

Xiao An cheered, turned and went to bed, "Father, I like my new bedroom!"

"Take off your shoes before rolling around, so as not to stain the sheets."

"Oh."

Xiao An hurriedly took off her shoes and lay down on the bed.

Zhang Chi let him roll on the bed, turned around and left the room.There was no one in the living room, so he went into the bedroom, but he didn't see Gu Xihe either.

He walked through the bedroom, pushed open the door of the inner room, and finally saw Gu Xihe's slender figure, and Zhang Chi heaved a sigh of relief.

"Xihe, this is the bathroom, the bathing place, it was finished yesterday, what do you think?"

Gu Xihe turned to look at Zhang Chi, "Zhang Chi, you really surprised me. I never thought that a house could be repaired like this."

Zhang Chi met Gu Xihe's shining eyes, full of surprise and admiration, his face became hot, he touched his nose, and controlled the involuntary upturning of the corners of his mouth.

"As long as you like it. Come, let me introduce you."

"Brother Chi, I understand."

Everything here is simple and straightforward, yet extremely convenient.There is a washbasin on the shelf near the corner, and you can wash your face with a slight bend.There are towels hanging on the side shelf for easy access.There was also a small wooden partition on the wall, where soap for washing hands was placed, and there were actually a few small holes at the bottom, which Gu Xihe guessed should be used for draining water.

In the southeast corner, there is a half-person-high wall built of stones, and there is an oversized oval wooden barrel in it, reaching his knee height.Gu Xihe knew that it was for bathing.

He walked over and saw that the ground inside was also made of stone.

Zhang Chi followed and interjected, "This way you won't be afraid of water splashing out. I also specially asked someone to carve smooth patterns on this stone, even if there is water, it won't slip."

Gu Xihe nodded, and his eyes fell on a square stove outside the partition.To his surprise, a short chimney from the stove protruded into the wall.

Zhang Chi said hastily: "The chimney of the stove leads to the kang in the bedroom. When it's cold, turn on the stove, the room will be very warm, and the kang will also be very hot."

In Gu Xihe's impression, the winter in Gucheng County is not very cold, and many people even have stoves in their homes.Although it was a bit cold, it was bearable.There are also stoves, but this is the first time Zhang Chi has seen a stove placed like this.

Zhang Chi continued to explain, "When the weather is cold, we can light up the stove to heat water for bathing, and the house will be warm. After taking a bath, we can get on the kang, and the kang is also warm. Think about it, how pleasant it would be!"

Gu Xihe imagined it for a while, taking a warm bath and then lying on the warm kang, it would really feel good.

After Zhang Chi crossed over, he could bear not having a mobile phone, computer, internet, and bright nights, but he couldn't bear not being able to take a shower.Just like recently, when he came home in disgrace every day, he could only wipe himself with hot water.Although it is spring now, but it is cold at night, he dare not take a thorough bath.So the first thing he did when he remodeled the house was to add a bathroom.It is impossible to take a shower here, but it is possible to take a bath with a bathtub.

The idea is very good, but the actual operation is more troublesome. The most difficult thing is the transformation of the heating kang.Many people here don't even light a stove, and they don't even know what a kang is. Zhang Chi only saw it once in his previous life.

But who is Zhang Chi?But modern people with tenacious practical spirit!He worked hard for a whole day and drew countless sheets of paper before he completed the design of the heating kang.Later, I personally worked with the workers on the construction, and after the completion, I lit the stove to feel the temperature of the ondol.Modify and modify until he achieves the effect he is satisfied with.It took him two full days for this one warm kang, but Zhang Chi felt it was worth it.

Seeing all this, Gu Xihe felt an indescribable excitement surging in his heart.Zhang Chi has done so much where he can't see.And what can I do for him?

Looking at the brand new home, Zhang Chi couldn't suppress his excitement.He rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Xihe, it's getting late. I'll make whatever you want for lunch. Today is the first day we move into our new home, so we have to have a good meal."

Gu Xihe said: "Brother Chi, you have worked hard on this house, you have worked hard, you rest, I will cook."

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Which one of us is with whom? Let's go together!"
