Chapter VII Decoration

"I also saw a lot of shops when I renovated before, and then I came across this, the owner is a disabled person, but the goods sold are quite real, you go to see first, if you think it doesn't work, let's continue to look around, don't worry, today's second uncle's task is to take you to buy all the things." You Jianguo parked the car and entered the store with You Yishu.

Compared with the humble storefront, the store is full of dazzling goods, although there are many goods, but they are neatly arranged.

When he saw someone coming in, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him.

You Yishu glanced at it curiously, the shopkeeper was clean and tidy, and even his standing posture was taller than ordinary people, the only difference was that the sleeve of his right arm was empty.

"Lao You, here. The shopkeeper spoke with a lot of breath.

"Here, I haven't been here for a long time, how is the business lately?" You Jianguo laughed and greeted the shopkeeper.

"It's the same as before, just enough to eat and drink," the shopkeeper was slightly stunned when he saw You Yishu, "This is?"

"I forgot to introduce to you, this is my niece Ling Ling, who has just renovated the old house, and the house has to be renovated, so I want to come and have a look." After You Jianguo finished speaking, he turned his head and told You Yishu, "This is the shopkeeper, you just call Uncle Fu." ”

After taking a turn from the store, You Yishu found that from the floor to the ceiling, every material was better than what she had just seen, but the price was nearly 20% lower than that of others.

You Jianguo seemed to guess You Yishu's thoughts, so he quietly told You Yishu: "Lao Fu's purchase channels are the same as those big building materials supermarkets, but building materials supermarkets generally give introducers a commission, Lao Fu is this axis, those introducers see that they can't get oil and water from him, so they don't recommend customers here, otherwise he wouldn't be so lonely here." ”

You Yishu realized that no matter whether it is a big city or a small city, the building materials market will always have more oil and water than you think!

In addition to the solid wood flooring for the bedroom and studio, the living room and dining room are all made of anti-slip tiles with classical charm, and the kitchen and bathroom are made of plain wall tiles. In the courtyard, bluestone slabs were chosen to pave the paths in the front and back yards.

The ceilings of the bathroom and indoor kitchen are made of stiff aluminum gussets, and although there is a beam above the main house, You Yishu did not plan to seal this space with a ceiling.

A bunch of various building materials were selected, You Yishu selected them, and Lao Fu carefully wrote them down with a pen. After choosing the materials to be used, You Yishu was about to swipe the card, but Lao Fu waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry, you have to measure the area before you can determine the number of materials." ”

After that, Lao Fu turned on the special electric car for the disabled parked at the door, You Jianguo didn't want to let Lao Fu sit in his car, but Lao Fu didn't want You Jianguo to run more, and resolutely refused.

In this way, You Jianguo led the way, and Lao Fu followed all the way, and walked for nearly an hour before arriving at Taoyuan Village.

When she came to the door of the house, You Yishu saw You Wenbin dozing off against the big tree at the door at a glance. Since You Yishu returned to the village, You Wenbin has developed the habit of waiting for You Yishu to go home, although when he waited for You Yishu, he still bowed his head and did not speak, but from his small movements, he could see the joy in his heart.

You Wenbin was awakened by the sound of a car, stood up and was hesitating to move forward, but he didn't expect a tall and strong man to get down from a car behind, and You Wenbin was so frightened that he hurriedly turned behind the big tree.

After Lao Fu got out of the car, he happened to see You Wenbin's unnatural behavior, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

After measuring inside and out, Lao Fu took a piece of paper to write down the area, and calculated the amount of cement and river sand needed for each room.

Even so, the cost of materials still cost a lot of money, and You Yishu still felt a pain when she looked at the budget amount when she swiped her card to pay the deposit.

After seeing Lao Fu and You Jianguo go down the mountain, You Yishu immediately prepared lunch for his younger brother. Although the neighbors don't come back often, they have a very complete induction cooker and gas stove, so cooking is much easier than using a stove.

But You Yishu still kept a special stove room in the newly built house, because in that space, she could see You Wenbin skillfully lighting a fire, adding firewood, and even talking to him a few more words.

After lunch, You Yishu turned on the computer, searched for some things needed for decoration on Taobao, searched, You Yishu suddenly thought, since he is in the countryside, why not sell those pure natural agricultural and sideline products or representative things to people in the city?

However, the land in this mountain is relatively barren, and the crops that can be grown are also very limited, not to mention that most of the laborers in the village have gone out to work, and a lot of land has been idle. But no matter what, the idea of opening a Taobao store took root in You Yishu's mind.

You Yishu couldn't think too much, and the professional workers who came to install floor heating came. Taoyuan Village has not yet been connected to natural gas, so it is still difficult to choose wall-hung boiler water heating, so You Yishu chose electric floor heating with high reliability, and each room can be installed with a temperature control switch for individual control, which is naturally more energy-saving.

After laying the extruded plastic board, reflective film and other equipment, the workers quickly circled the heating cable in the ground and covered it, You Yishu realized that the long march of decoration had finally taken another step, but it was worth it to be tired and bitter when I thought of being able to live in a house I liked with my younger brother.

A few days later, the materials for the decoration of the new house arrived, and You Jianguo helped to contact the big workers were also in place quickly, the workers who installed the tiles were specially invited by You Jianguo from outside, and they were the couple with more than ten years of installation experience. Within a few days, the potholed ground had changed its appearance.

In order to avoid scratching the tiles during the later decoration and wall painting, the couple also deliberately spread the remaining cardboard on the ground, and the wooden floor could not be laid until the overall decoration was completed, so the couple only asked You Yishu to pay part of the salary, and the rest would be settled when the final completion was completed.

After laying the floor tiles, the originally dark room was much brighter, and You Yishu happily walked around the room, imagining the furniture to be bought and the location to be placed in the future. This happy mood also infected You Wenbin, when You Yishu talked about his fantasy about the house, although You Wenbin didn't understand, he was also eating and laughing next to him.

The electric water heater and shower head were installed, the stove and gas stove needed for the kitchen were installed, and the ceiling of the bathroom and kitchen was finally installed.

And the wall painting work of each room is also on the agenda. You Yishu likes clean and simple white walls, so all the rooms are scraped into a soft milky white, and a latex paint is painted, and the heat in summer is getting more and more raised.

Because he remembered the lives of his two sisters and brothers, You Jianguo would also run to the mountains from time to time to see the progress of the project. On the day he finished painting the wall, You Jianguo happily bought a case of beer and dragged You Yishu and You Wenbin down the mountain to celebrate with the whole family.

Before, the two sisters and brothers had hardly eaten in You Jianguo, and when they saw two rare guests, You Jianguo's daughter-in-law, that is, You Yishu's second aunt Wu Xiaoyan, had more than ten dishes and drank a few glasses of beer as an exception.

Looking at the excited second uncle's family, You Yishu's heart was warm, which was a feeling she had never experienced when she was working outside. And when she saw her younger brothers and sisters coquettish to her parents, You Yishu suddenly thought that when her parents were alive, she was actually often coquettish and begging for favor, she wanted to learn the machine, and her parents would meet her requirements in time if they were frugal, but later after having You Wenbin, she rarely spoiled herself in her parents' arms......

After two bottles of beer, all kinds of emotions came to him, and You Yishu, who was once known as "a thousand cups not drunk", actually felt slightly drunk. She excused herself to go to the bathroom, washed her face with cold water, and swallowed the tears that were about to gush back into her stomach.

When she returned to the dining table, You Yishu was already smiling, she poured the cup in front of her full of tea, You Jianguo and Wu Xiaoyan saw this, and no longer persuaded wine, but got up to bring rice and began to eat.

After this meal, You Yishu's originally cold temperament seemed to be a little warmer, at least not as before, even if he got along with his second uncle You Jianguo, he was wearing a layer of armor to protect himself at any time.

After the hard decoration was completed, the house built on the mountainside became a big talk in the village, and even many people who wanted to renovate the house made a special trip to the mountain to see what this antique building looked like.

At first, You Yishu was afraid of scaring her younger brother and would bolt the door, but later saw that everyone was full of curiosity, so she no longer closed the door to greet guests, but opened the door and invited villagers who were interested in learning decoration to come in and visit.

At first, when You Wenbin saw people coming, he would hide behind the door in fright, but after seeing that there were more people, he slowly became bold and hid no longer when he saw people.

Regarding the change in You Wenbin, You Yishu saw it in his eyes, and also inquired on the Internet about the reason for his change.

Before, in order to prevent You Wenbin from getting out of control, his grandfather always didn't let him stay too far away from home, so the people he had contact with over the years were extremely limited, but since You Yishu went home, the family came and went, and occasionally someone would greet and chat with You Wenbin kindly, although You Wenbin couldn't respond like ordinary people, but he gradually reacted.

"It seems that increasing contact with the outside world can make a difference in Binbin, and if that's the case, it's better to take him out to see the world more. You Yishu thought about it and finally decided to take You Wenbin to the furniture market with fewer people first.

The house designed by You Yishu itself is in an antique style, and it takes a lot of effort to match the right furniture. According to You Jianguo, it is enough to arrange a set of mahogany furniture, but You Yishu has no special preference for mahogany, not to mention, the mahogany furniture on the market is the same, and there are not many really good mahogany. So You Yishu still plans to go to the furniture market to see it before making a decision.
