This is really not said in vain!

The peach blossoms in the outer courtyard and the "Xifu Begonia" in the inner courtyard have passed the flowering period. It is true that the beauty of spring is gone.

And in order to repair the verandah, more than half of the "wisteria" that originally climbed the top of the verandah was also cut off. The old vine that has grown for decades is not only not as fresh and elegant as it used to be, but rather hideous.

But these regrets are completely made up for by the new houses and fun life scenes.

It was the last hour before sunset, and although the sky was still bright, the sun had begun to soften and become charming. The entire courtyard, which emits a rich smell of grass and trees, is dyed orange-yellow, as if it has been plated with a layer of gold.

It's a scene that can be painted, both heart-warming and melancholy.

But this is nothing, because no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is only a foil, and the people in the yard are the real focus.

When Hong Yanzheng and his wife walked into the spacious courtyard with their half-year-old child and Hong Yanwencai, the first thing they saw was Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin sitting happily together at the stone table under the west wall drinking tea.

Behind the old couple is a lilac tree with purple flowers. In addition to the tea set on the table, there is also a pot of bright red cherries and a pot of white mulberries. All the containers are pastel-colored old things, and they look so comfortable and comfortable at first glance.

The children of the Hong family all have rules. The first priority is naturally to step forward and salute, calling dad and mom.

But just as a few of them were about to walk over, they heard a knock on the door of the east side of the building, and the two girls pushed the door and came out one after another. This immediately drew their attention.

Walking in front is Hong Yanru, followed by "Sugar Heart". Seeing them, they all smiled and waved.

The most surprising thing is that they all have a white enamel basin with wet towels in their hands, and even their hair is wet. It looked like a hibiscus out of the water, and it turned out to be just taken a bath.

Can you really take a bath at home? Could it be that the third child really bought a boiler?

Hong Yanzheng was most skeptical about this.

But before he could figure out this question, someone shouted again under the attic on the second floor in the inner courtyard.

"Third uncle! It's bright, it's beautiful!"

"Uncle Quanzi! a little further to the left! Yes, to the left!"

The big guys looked to the west again, and saw that under the towering and dignified attic in the inner courtyard, Hong Jun was looking up and clapping his palm, jumping to his feet and praising it.

On the second floor of the attic, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were hanging lanterns under the eaves of the attic and connecting the light bulbs one by one.

The wires must have been laid a long time ago, and apparently there were separate power switches upstairs, so the four corners of the wooden attic, the beige winter melon lanterns hung on three sides were lit up. There is only one last face left, and the two are still busy.

This situation and this scene, together with the content of the "Hundred Sons Frolicking Picture" on the wall, the picture should be the scene, the scene is set against the map, and the family is harmonious and happy.

It really makes people feel warm, peaceful, and inexplicably excited. Who wouldn't love such a picture?

In this case, Hong Yanzheng, Xu Manli, and Hong Yanwen are all without exception, and the eyes on their faces can't find a proper home. For the first time, I forgot the number of etiquette.

In the end, it was Hong Yi who opened his little hand to his grandparents first, and Hong Yanru came over to greet them first with "Sugar Heart". They only woke up from a dream that they realized their omission. hurriedly said a few polite words to "Sugar Heart", and came to see his parents one by one, and he couldn't help but blush a little.

My parents didn't mind, especially Wang Yunlin, who was not only very happy but also understanding today. He smiled with his children and said, "It's normal that you don't have enough eyes, and none of us just came here and don't know where to put your eyes." There is no hurry to eat today, everything is ready-made. It's just that Xiao Wu and Quanzi still have to toss for a while. Later, lanterns will be hung under the house. If you're curious, go inside and have a look. After reading it, you will know whether I am exaggerating or not. By the way, you can really take a bath here, and the third child bought a new basin and new towels for everyone, and whoever you want to take a pleasant hot bath right away. It's a real fulfillment......"

As soon as Hong Yi was handed over to the child's grandparents, they were immediately elated, and they all went around the house.

And this look is a big surprise, and I sincerely feel eye-opening.

Let's talk about the large, four, small and five main houses first.

In the middle is the central hall, which can be used as a bedroom and study on both sides, and the layout is decent, so there is nothing to say.

However, as soon as Hong Yanzheng entered the room, he noticed that there was a very elaborate eight-screen carved floor-to-ceiling partition on both sides of the central hall, which created a very gorgeous atmosphere for this hall.

If you take a closer look, it's even more amazing. They actually found that this carved partition fan is not only made of high-quality wood, the carving is first-class, and the most exquisite thing is that it is not dead, it is alive, and can move.

Once the carved partition doors on both sides are completely opened, the central hall and the rooms on both sides can become a complete large room, enough to place seven or eight tables of banquets.

In fact, these partition doors are the good things that Hong Yanwu bought in the first few days of the "trust shop", and they are also the partition structure that is usually called "Bisha Cupboard" in the south.

Because these partition lattices are divided into two layers inside and outside, the old practice of clamping yarn is adopted, the yarn is either milky white, or light green, or turquoise, the color is both bright and elegant, on which you can also ask Danqing wonderful hand inscription poem painting, Yongmei Song bamboo, Han ink is fragrant, elegant and elegant. That's why it got this common name.

It cannot but be said that this design can be called a genius in the field of ancient building decoration, which greatly enhances the malleability and practicality of the space. Even today, there are few designs that have such spirituality.

Hong Yanwen first praised the ingenuity. Xu Manli also echoed.

But Hong Yanzheng doesn't know if he is used to being picky about Hong Yanwu's affairs, maybe he also wants to end half of the expert's shelf, but he said in his mouth.

"What are you boasting about? I think it's a bit of a fart off my pants! These partitions are good, and this kind of workmanship can only be made by a craftsman like my master. But what do we want to do in such a big place? Will we still feast guests in the future, and hold cocktail parties like in the movies? Installing such a thing is not soundproof, and the third child is a bit stinky and showy, and it is about the beauty of the partition fan......"

Hong Yanwen and Xu Manli both nodded and laughed when they heard this, and they couldn't help but feel that Hong Yanzheng's words had some truth.

How could they have thought of it? Contrary to Hong Yanzheng's criticism, in the future, this is really the most praised gathering place for the Hong family.

In the "Flower Hall Courtyard" of the Hong family, many outsiders who have participated in the Hong family's banquets and drinking parties often regard such an experience as a kind of capital that can be boasted of in life.

In addition to the layout, Hong Yanzheng and the others picked out more obvious problems in the interior decoration.

Although the blue brick floor, the blue brick wall, and the decoration method of distinguishing the white wall from the wall with mullioned wood strips, the whole interior has become both simple and clean, but also harmonious.

Although the windows and doors inlaid with double glazing and the radiators on the walls ensure that the interior is as warm as spring in winter. These are all solitary designs.

But they really don't understand why there are so many electrical outlets under the wall.

There are more electrical appliances at home than others, but it is nothing more than a TV, washing machine, refrigerator with an electric fan.

Hong Yanzheng complained, "Why is the third child doing this? Could it be that we will still have to put standing lamps everywhere in our house in the future? Look at the roof with so many chandeliers." Or he just wants to put the TV and the electric fan in the room? I don't even know what to say about him, this is obviously more full, it's purely a dog's tail to continue the mink!"

Xu Manli smiled and persuaded. "It's noisy enough, and it costs electricity. But it can be seen that the third child is also really attentive. Don't talk about him later, people can't work hard. Besides, my parents will be unhappy when they hear it......"

Hong Yanwen also said. "Big brother, the third child has no credit and hard work. After all, it's really good on the big picture, and it's far beyond my imagination. Besides, he's still young, and it's also talent to be able to do things like this. If there is a slight inadequacy, we have to forgive me......"

Hong Yanzheng made a statement at this time. "You're really protective. Don't worry, I won't spoil everyone's interest. I'm a fair man, and although I have shortcomings, I do have a lot of advantages. Let's be honest, I can't make him look like this anyway......"

"Yo, is your last sentence a disparagement or a compliment? Why can't I hear it?"

With Xu Manli's words, Hong Yanzheng and Hong Yanwen were both happy.

If the main house was also picked out by Hong Yanzheng, Xu Manli, and Hong Yanwen, there were some "unpleasant" places. But when it came time to look at the partial building, they really couldn't say that they weren't here at all.

Because of the original three rooms, Hong Yanwu really let him play with flowers.

This kid first built two slightly shorter and smaller small houses at the north and south ends of the partial building. This makes it five rooms.

Functionally, that's how it's arranged.

The northernmost small house is used as a storage room, that is, to put sundries and use it as a warehouse.

The kitchen was changed to the first room, and the dining room was changed to the second room. In addition, there is a door in the wall between the two rooms for easy access.

And the third room is a bathing and convenient place.

Hong Yanwu had a new T-shaped wall built inside, dividing the 18-square-meter house into three parts like the structure of a public toilet.

Large glass and two ceramic wash basins are installed on the outermost transverse wall. The room on the left is equipped with three shower heads, so you can take a shower with three people. The inner room on the right is used as a toilet.

Considering the current living habits of people, a squatting toilet and a sitting toilet were deliberately pressed, all with a vertical water tank.

As for the last southernmost room, it is, of course, the boiler room. Hong Yanwu really got one, and he was in charge of the line and switch. Not only this courtyard, but also when the West Cross Courtyard and the East Cross Courtyard are repaired, they can also be used for all.

All in all, this room is functionally intimate and convenient. It not only takes into account privacy, hygiene, but also has great practicality.

And aesthetically speaking. The large-scale application of ceramics in the kitchen and bathroom is still a scene that ordinary people can't imagine in this year. Not only is it waterproof, it is easy to clean, and it looks bright.

Although it is a bit monotonous because of the small number of varieties, Hong Yanwu's insight far ahead of the times has played a key role.

This kid asked Mr. Shan's craftsmen to carve a lot of tiles to make the waistline. Some of the tiles were also painted, painted and varnished.

Even the ditch eye of the gutter is carved with the pattern of the eye of money. This not only breaks the boring of the whole body. It also raised the style of these rooms.

How could Hong Yanzheng and Hong Yanwen, who were accustomed to seeing dirty and smelly official thatched houses, and Xu Manli, who was accustomed to using black and simple kitchens, not be surprised? How could they not admire?

At this time, after watching it around, no one can help but praise it sincerely.

"Look at our third child, this brain is probably born to install kitchens and toilets. Oh yes, he didn't do it, it's a shame......!

At the same time, Hong Yanwu, who was in the attic, suddenly had an itchy nose and sneezed for no reason. My hands trembled, and I almost didn't touch the wires that had just been cut.
