Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 573 Home Afterwards
"Hey, are you here?"

Zhang Yunshang entered the room with a smile on his face, and his eyes were first fixed on the old lady.

"Grandma, this is Uncle Zhang. He lives in the backyard and rents the house from him."

Li Weidong introduced.

"Otherwise, I heard the cry of magpies early this morning. I am a distinguished guest. Auntie, are you satisfied with this place? If not, just speak and I will have someone change it."

Zhang Yunshang is actually not much younger than the old lady, but when Li Weidong said "Uncle Zhang", he immediately figured out his position.

"I'm satisfied. I'm satisfied with everything. Please help me rent such a good house to us."

The old lady also stood up and said politely.

"Auntie, you are out of touch when you say this. If this house is idle, it is idle. I am eager for you to come and live in it, so that I can enjoy the blessing of your old age."

Zhang Yunshang said, and glanced at Li Weidong next to him. There was no reluctance on his face, and he was completely sincere.

Li Weidong had a life-saving grace for him. According to his character, if he didn't do something, he would be uneasy for the rest of his life.

Moreover, if Li Weidong hadn't helped to get his house back, it would have been given to someone else by the street.

Now he just spent some money to reorganize the house and buy some furniture. Compared with the life-saving grace, it was nothing.

Fortunately, the two families will be neighbors from now on, and he still has enough time to repay this kindness.

As for Li Weidong's grandma, it's completely normal for him to call her aunt.

"Uncle Zhang, you came just in time. Otherwise, I have to look for you later. Can you please ask the master who tidied the house to come over and change this living room? Create a bedroom inside and use it as a living room outside. .

Also, this table is a bit too big. I would like to make it smaller for convenience. "

Li Weidong said directly.

"This is easy to say. The people are all ready-made. I will find someone to do it later. Apart from this, is there anything else that I am not satisfied with and needs to be corrected?"

Zhang Yunshang responded immediately.

Anyway, the house is for Li Weidong to live in, so Li Weidong's opinion naturally takes priority.

Let alone just separate a bedroom, even if it is demolished and rebuilt, he will not have any objection.

"No need for anything else, it's pretty good."

Li Weidong shook his head.

Although the two houses next to them have not been inspected yet, they are just adding some furniture and do not need to be modified.

"Okay, feel free to tell me what's wrong. Besides, I see that my aunt is full of blessings. There happens to be a string of beads left by the Sixth Patriarch in the house. I'll bring them back to my aunt to stretch her hands."

Zhang Yunshang made it clear that he wanted to please the old lady.

With his shrewdness, he can naturally see that Li Weidong's tendency is to focus on old ladies. Otherwise, if he had any ideas, he would have put them forward when he came here last time, and there would be no need to wait until now.

"The bracelet left by the Sixth Patriarch? This is not acceptable, it is too expensive."

This time, before Li Weidong could say anything, the old lady refused directly.

Although she is old, her eyesight is not dull, and she can naturally see why Zhang Yunshang pleases her so much.

She didn't want her grandson to be in debt because of herself.

"Hey, it's just a string of beads. No matter how valuable it is, can it still be as precious as yours? These beads are just gathering dust in my hands. Only in the hands of a blessed person like you can they complement each other."

Zhang Yunshang kept saying.

"Grandma, since Uncle Zhang is so interested, let's not refuse."

Li Weidong could see that the old lady seemed to understand what the beads represented, and was even a little moved, so he simply agreed for her.

For Li Weidong, it would not be so boring to find something for the old lady to play with. Not to mention just a string of beads, even the legendary dzi beads would be found.

Moreover, although he does not believe in these things, their existence makes sense.

The beads left by the Sixth Patriarch were worth it even if they just made the old lady feel at ease and sleep better.

However, he did not expect that Zhang Yunshang could come up with such a thing.

It seems that although the house was searched all over before and a lot of antiques were found, it is clear that the other party still has a collection.

"Yes, they are all family members, you're welcome."

Zhang Yunshang also nodded.

When the old lady heard Li Weidong's words and looked at Zhang Yunshang's attitude, which looked like he would not give up until he sent it out, she hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

If it were anything else, she would definitely not want it, but it was a bead left behind by the Sixth Patriarch. She usually used it to pray for Li Weidong.

To put it bluntly, it is for the sake of my grandson.

Now, everyone is happy.

At this moment, the two little guys who went to have fun finally ran over.

Judging from the expressions of the two of them, it was clear that they couldn't be more satisfied.

"Second brother, my house is big and clean, but there is no bed to sleep on or a table to do homework."

Li Xueru said with a small mouth.

Although she lived in a side room, which was much smaller than the main house, it was still very big to her, but it was empty and had nothing in it.

It's understandable that she wants a bed to sleep on, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep, but to talk about a desk for homework is purely self-deception. Li Weidong has never seen her do her homework seriously.

It's just that I have my own room and want to add more things.

In fact, Zhang Yunshang was not to blame. After all, he didn't know how many people there were in Li Weidong's family. He just put a bed in one of the bedrooms, but it was definitely not a big rosewood bed.

Because the matching rosewood bed had been replaced by Li Weidong a long time ago.

So he didn't arrange the other bedroom, waiting for Li Weidong to move the big bed back.

Apart from that, there is nothing else in the east wing.

These were originally meant to be arranged based on Li Weidong's own preferences after he moved in.

He just helped to get the complete set of rosewood furniture that Li Weidong had been interested in before.

"This is easy to handle. I used to sell furniture at Youyi Store. If you need anything, tell me and I'll have someone deliver it to you later."

When Zhang Yunshang heard what the little guy said, he immediately started to vote.

Yang Fangfang on the side looked familiar to Zhang Yunshang, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. It wasn't until she heard him mention selling furniture at Youyi Store that she suddenly remembered.

"No, there's really no need for this. We had a lot of furniture over there before. You can pull it over."

Zhang Xiuzhen couldn't help but said.

At the same time, he glared at his daughter fiercely.The latter immediately ran to Li Weidong to find a shield.

"Mom, leave the furniture over there to Brother Zhankui's family. Let's see what's missing in the house later. I'll go to Youyi Store to buy it together later."

Li Weidong also spoke.

Although the house in the courtyard does have a lot of furniture, it has been there for a long time. Even if it is moved here, it will not match the current house.

Might as well replace them all with new furniture.

Anyway, he is not short of money now, and he even has nowhere to spend it.

Fortunately, the furniture here is basically made of solid wood. Not to mention real materials, the better ones are all mortise and tenon structures. The surface is just painted with a layer of varnish, and even many of them retain the original color and texture of the wood. There is no formaldehyde, so there is no need to leave it for a period of time before using it.

If he wasn't worried about being too showy, he could even find some rosewood saplings, plant them in a game farm, use energy to ripen them, and soon harvest a pile of top-notch old wood, and then find a master to build a complete set of furniture.

This was also the reason why he later lost interest in the set of rosewood furniture that Zhang Yunshang mentioned earlier.

Because he has a game farm, not to mention rosewood, even huanghuali can be grown.

Basically, any wood furniture you need is available at your fingertips.

"That's okay. I'll give you the money when I get back."

Zhang Xiuzhen heard Li Weidong's words and no longer objected.

But she would definitely have to pay for it herself.

She couldn't do nothing as a mother and rely entirely on Li Weidong. She couldn't do such a thing.

Fortunately, both Li Shuqun and Yang Fangfang are working now, and all their wages have been given to her. In addition, since Li Weidong came, Li Weidong has basically taken care of all the food for the family, so she now has some money in her hands. A lot of money.

I originally planned to use it when Li Weidong got married. Since he has moved to a new home and the whole family will live here in the future, he might as well use it now.

As for Li Weidong's marriage, it will have to wait until next year anyway. During this time, Li Shuqun and Yang Fangfang will still receive a lot of salary, which is enough.

Although Yang Fangfang's salary was used, she didn't think it was anything.

Yang Fangfang's job was originally found by Li Weidong. If it were anyone else, it would be too light to thank them with the salary of the first few years.

What's more, Li Weidong just gave Yang Fangfang a city registered residence quota, and he will also move here in the future.

Even if a family does not speak the same language, there is no reason to just take advantage without suffering a loss.

Otherwise, even if you are a relative, it will not be a long-term solution.

"it is good."

Seeing that Zhang Xiuzhen was serious, Li Weidong did not refuse.

After all, he also knew Zhang Xiuzhen's character, and rejection would make the other party uneasy.

For the next time, Zhang Yunshang stayed behind to talk to the old lady, while Li Weidong led the others around the rooms several times. After asking for some opinions, they basically decided what furniture they wanted to buy.

Among everyone, Li Xueru undoubtedly had the most demands, but Zhang Xiuzhen suppressed them without hesitation. She would only buy a small bed, a desk for homework, and a stool for her house.

Ignore the rest of the little girl's requests.

But Li Weidong thoughtfully added an extra wardrobe to the little girl. After all, as she gets older, the little girl must have her own private space.

As for what she said about having a stove or it would be too cold in winter, Li Weidong simply ignored her.

But there is some truth in what she said.

The house is big, and it has a bed instead of a kang. It will definitely be cold in winter. It is not impossible to prepare a separate stove for the little girl, but Li Weidong is worried that she will fall asleep one night and get carbon monoxide poisoning.

The same is true for the other rooms.

So I thought about it and went back to find a way to get some radiators.

Did he know that radiators already existed in the 50s, but the radiators these days are all made of cast iron, which is bulky and not good-looking.

But at the moment, this is the best thing, and most people can't get it even if they want to.

It just so happened that I could take advantage of this time to clean up the house and install it together, which would save me having to do it twice in the future, which would be too troublesome.

When the time comes, a small boiler will be installed in the renovated kitchen in the west wing. Just fill it with charcoal to ensure that the room is warm. It will be much better than simply burning the stove.

After everyone looked at the house and discussed the furniture to buy, they left together.

Zhang Yunshang also knew that the time was not right, and he had to find someone to clean up the house, so he did not persuade him to stay. Anyway, Li Weidong's family would move here in the future, so he would have no shortage of opportunities to show courtesy.

Instead, he took the string of beads left by the Sixth Patriarch and gave it to the old lady.

At the same time, Li Weidong also told the other party about installing a radiator. He originally thought about finding connections to get a set of radiators, but Zhang Yunshang patted his chest and promised that he could just leave this small matter to him. He obviously had a way.

But even if he has no way out, he can probably come up with a way, and maybe he can also install one for his house this time.

He didn't pretend before, not because he didn't have money, but because he didn't dare to be too public, lest he be dragged out.

But now, with a big backer like Li Weidong as his neighbor, he would definitely not do anything out of the ordinary, but it would be fine if he just followed the rules a little bit.

When she left, Li Xueru looked full of reluctance and wished she could move in now. Even if she was asked to lay the floor, she probably wouldn't mind.

But she could only think about it. If she really dared to stay, her ears would suffer.

Li Weidong sent the family back, took the money given by Zhang Xiuzhen, and drove out in the jeep.

Li Xueru still wanted to follow, but was held down by Zhang Xiuzhen.

Then Li Weidong came to Youyi Store alone, ordered the furniture as previously discussed, and just sent it directly to the destination. Zhang Yunshang was always there, so there was no need to worry about no one receiving it.

After finishing this matter, Li Weidong bought some more gifts, then went to the Sixth Farm to pick up Zhou Xiaobai and came to the home where she had just moved.

The small courtyard Zhou Bingan was looking for was located in Shigu Lane, not far from where Li Weidong was planning to move, only a few streets away.

The houses here are basically courtyard houses, and the people who can live here basically have a certain status.

After all, even if Zhou Bingan wants to move out of that small foreign-style building, he can't just find a place. Regardless of safety or living environment, he must consider it carefully.

With his wealth, it would be easy to buy a courtyard house with two or three bedrooms.

Even if it is difficult to transfer the property now, it does not mean that there is nothing you can do.

But he still chose to rent.

It's just that this rent is definitely different from rent in the normal sense.

To be honest, it is more appropriate to use divided houses.

But it is still a bit difficult to find a small courtyard with a single family that is separated from Zhang Yunshang's family. Therefore, there is another family opposite Zhou Bingan's small courtyard, which can be regarded as using a large door, but because of the layout of the left and right courtyards , which actually has no impact.

Under Zhou Xiaobai's command, Li Weidong parked the car and walked into the gate carrying the gift.
