A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 36 Good words are hard to persuade a damn ghost
another weekend

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and Cao Zhihua's house was repaired amidst the heated discussions among the neighbors in the yard.

Although there is an extra wall in the courtyard of the courtyard, there is no good way to stop it. Fortunately, it does not have much impact on the neighbors in the courtyard.

Cao Zhihua walked around the renovated house. The room where his parents used to live had a door opening directly to the patio.

The patio is not big, about 6 square meters. There is a faucet connected to the patio and it is connected to the tap water. Nowadays, the tap water in Sijiu City is often cut off. Cao Zhihua placed a large water tank under the faucet for daily water collection.

A bathroom and toilet were built against the wall.

According to Cao Zhihua's opinion, the bathroom was built relatively large, with an area of ​​8 square meters.

The bathroom was connected to running water, and there was also a large water tank and a large tub for bathing.

The bathroom uses a squat toilet, which is also filled with water and has an iron bucket for flushing the toilet.

Then there are two reverse rooms. The reverse room faces the patio and has two floor-to-ceiling windows from the top to the floor. It's a pity that the current wooden frame windows are used instead of the large glass of later generations that goes directly to the floor. .

But even this is already very good. The two reverse rooms now have very good lighting.

Fire pits were built in the house, and two sets of Eight Immortals tables were made. One Eight Immortals table was equipped with four chairs, and one set was placed in each room.

From the patio to all the rooms, the floor is made of cement and the walls are all whitewashed.

Cao Zhihua felt very satisfied after seeing it. He had done it according to his own ideas, so he happily paid the money to Master Zhang and gave Master Zhang a thumbs up.

"Master Zhang, your skills are like this. With our family's template in the future, we will have to go to you for house decoration in our yard."

Master Zhang smiled honestly,
"Zhihua, I wish you could speak so well."

Cao Zhihua said politely

"Don't worry, I will definitely recommend your craftsmanship to everyone in the future."

Master Zhang didn't say much. After being polite, he left directly.

After seeing the eldest brother seeing Master Zhang off, the three little ones, now liberated, came to the patio and looked here and there, feeling very happy.

When Cao Zhihua returned home, he heard the excited laughter of the three little ones.

Cao Zhihua smiled and walked into the patio. He was still smart as a big dog.

"Brother, brother, do you want to live in these two houses?"

Cao Zhihua didn't want to live there. The two houses were separated by a wall from Yi Zhonghai's house. He might hear any movement he made. This was why Cao Zhihua didn't move the kitchen here.

"If you don't live here, this room will be for you two brothers. Xiaoyu and I will stay in the east wing."

"You two choose a room for yourselves. No arguing, you hear me?"

"I heard it, brother."

Cao Zhihua didn't care how the two of them allocated the house. He turned around and pushed his bicycle out the door.

In order to prevent those who are assigned to small houses from complaining that it is unfair, if they are allowed to allocate them by themselves, they will have nothing to do, and they will not be blamed for their big brother.

Cao Zhihua left the alley and bought some meat buns from a roadside stall in Nanluogu Lane. While eating, he pushed the cart towards Lou Xiao'e's house.

I repaired the house last week and didn't go on a date with Lou Xiao'e. I haven't seen Sha'ezi for more than 10 days. I was feeling weird, so I planned to pick up Lou Xiao'e for a ride around Shichahai.

It didn't take long for Cao Zhihua to arrive at Lou's house. After not seeing each other for several months, Lou's house had changed quite a lot. All the security guards at the entrance of the family's small foreign-style building were removed, and even the wall and gate were demolished.

Cao Zhihua went directly around the garden to the door of the small bungalow and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was Lou Xiao'e's mother, Lou Tan.

"Aunt Lou, why did you open the door yourself? Where is your nanny?" Lou Tan shook her head with a wry smile.
"They were all dismissed by your Uncle Lou."

Cao Zhihua was a little surprised and said
"What's this good dismissal for?"

"I don't know why your Uncle Lou is crazy."

Lou Bancheng couldn't bear it while sitting on the sofa.
"Zhihua is here, come and sit down and chat with your Uncle Lou for a while."

Cao Zhihua is more respectful than obedient.
"Okay, Uncle Lou, you haven't gone out yet at this time today?"

"There's nothing to do when I go out. Every day there are a group of people chatting and eating, and there's nothing else to do."

Cao Zhihua smiled and pretended to be stupid:

"Hey, Uncle Lou, how nice it is to have friends and food and drinks."

"Hey, life is easy, but I have nothing to do every day, and I am so busy."

"Uncle Lou, I see you are a hard worker and can't rest."

"Haha, Zhihua, you still understand me."

"Uncle Lou, have the people around you been completely dismissed?"

Lou Bancheng looks a little gloomy

"There is also a driver left behind, a posthumous son of an old friend of mine. The current public opinion environment is not good. Although the top government officials have a good-natured attitude towards us, there are still some people who think that we capitalists are an exploiting class and are very hostile to us."

Cao Zhihua looked at Lou Bancheng worriedly.
"Uncle Lou, is this serious?"

Lou Bancheng replied indifferently
"It's okay. These people can't afford to make trouble. Great people all have a good attitude towards us. After this public-private partnership, the big leaders gave me a few words."

Cao Zhihua was very surprised and very surprised when he heard this.

When Cao Zhihua thought of the great man's calligraphy, he couldn't hold it anymore and said excitedly

"Uncle Lou, can I observe the calligraphy?"

Lou Bancheng did not refuse
"You come to the study with me."

When he came to the study, Lou Bancheng took out the words and spread them out.

Cao Zhihua looked at it and clicked his tongue.

Cao Zhihua saw this word and thought about it. Although he was afraid of bringing about big changes to Lou Bancheng's future life, he still casually suggested to Lou Bancheng.
"Uncle Lou, I suggest you find the best master, use the best materials to frame the Chinese characters, and put them in the living room."

"In this way, there will be a lot less bad arguments around you and a lot less trouble."

Lou Bancheng thought for a while,

"It still doesn't work. I plan to collect the inscription. It will be passed down to future generations. It would be too ostentatious to frame it."

After hearing this, Cao Zhihua said nothing more. It was hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words.

However, with Lou Bancheng's emotional intelligence and social skills, nothing will happen to him. At most, the public opinion environment will be a little bad.So I planned to run away

"Uncle Lou, I made an appointment with Ezi to visit Shichahai today. It's getting late now, do you think?"

Lou Bancheng smiled and waved,
"Okay, you go and play, remember to come back early."
