"Yo, this is Yuping's master, right? I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're getting old! When you got married, it didn't seem to be as big as the waves, and the years were really unforgiving. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Uncle Jin is not too strange to Hong Tao's aunt, and he figured out who was who without chatting a few words when they met, so he sighed again. When people are old, it is very easy to remember the things of their youth or childhood, and they especially like to mention them, as if they can find a trace of youth from those things, so that they can temporarily forget that they are old in reality.

"Old Jin, what's wrong with your body? I think you're three years younger than me. "The eldest aunt is no stranger to Jin Yue's father, they are all a generation, when Hong Tao's family took out the small courtyard outside the building, the two of them were engaged in construction, but they had a lot of communication. At that time, everyone was still in the prime of life, and in a blink of an eye, they were all fifty or sixty years old.

"Hey, if I were still working at the grassroots level, I wouldn't have made my body like this, it's really not a good thing to sit in the office, and I ruined my body. Don't mention this, you got Xiao Tao's yard for him again? It's cost-effective that their projects are all contracted to you, and after serving, the old ones have to serve the small ones! Jin Yue's father regretted his physical condition to the extreme, especially when he saw people who were a few years older than him still alive, and his heart was even more unpleasant. simply stopped talking about this issue, and then brought up Hong Tao as the goal of changing the topic.

"What can I do, after all, he has to call me uncle, can I say I don't care? You also know that my mother-in-law treats him as her own grandson, and when the old man speaks, I will come to him as a long-term worker even if I don't go to work. The eldest aunt can be regarded as having found an ally to deal with Hong Tao, and the two old men began to count Hong Tao's evil deeds together, starting from kindergarten.

"You two talk first, Jin Yue, let's go, go to my smart palace with my brother, I promise that you won't want to go to the Forbidden City after reading it, I am here is the condensed Forbidden City, and the condensed is the essence!" Hong Tao doesn't have cheap bones, standing here listening to the two old men criticizing himself, he can't talk back, let's not wait? At that moment, he pulled Jin Yue and walked to the doorway, blowing as he went, how big it was, and he was not afraid of being flashed by the wind.

Of course, the Forbidden City can't be compared, let alone the Forbidden City, and the Lama Temple can't be compared. No matter in terms of scale, regulation or workmanship, none of the two courtyards of Hongtao can surpass those ancient palaces. But it can't be compared like this, compared with these courtyards of the same era, especially the courtyards of ordinary people, his two small courtyards really feel a little outstanding.

Starting from the south side, there is a row of large houses more than five meters high and more than thirty meters long, which runs from east to west. Different from the inverted houses in ordinary courtyards, their fronts are not facing the north side of the courtyard, but on the south side, and they also have a long porch, which is called the front porch, which is very regular.

This row of houses is Hong Tao's generous hand, the door face room! Of course, the front is going to be facing the street. The yard is the back wall of the house, only two small doors are connected to the yard, and there are no windows. If these two small doors are sealed, this row of houses will have no connection with the two small courtyards at the back, completely independent, and even the power supply, water supply and water supply are completely separated from the small courtyard, they have their own distribution boxes, electricity meters, water meters and sewers.

The reason why it is so designed is mainly to take into account its future use and development. Hong Tao is not sure that the computer house he wants to get will definitely make money, in case it is dry, he can't stare dryly, and he can rent out this row of houses for some rent. Therefore, it can't have any close connection with the courtyard, and even if it is rented to others, it can't interfere with the normal life of the courtyard.

In the middle of the façade room is a gate hole more than three meters wide, which is actually the small alley between Hong Tao's courtyard and Grandma Liu's courtyard, and then north of the doorway is a dead end more than 30 meters long, and there are two courtyards inside, all of which have to enter and exit from this doorway.

This doorway is said to be for everyone's use, usually close the two large iron doors, this not deep dead end is equivalent to being closed, and the doorway can also be used as a bicycle shed. That's how Hong Tao explained to his neighbors, saying that he was benefiting his neighbors and benefiting everyone.

The welfare is indeed a plan, but he has not lost. Since it is a door hole, there must be a roof on it, and it is not too high, about three meters, and the top is connected with the door face room on both sides, in fact, it is a whole, and the house on the top of the door hole is owned by Hong Tao. He took the opportunity to build a house on top of the common space by making a door hole, adding more than 30 meters of usable area to his home in vain.

The neighbors can't say anything, anyway, if Hong Tao doesn't occupy this place, they can't occupy it, and now that Hong Tao occupies it, they can also follow a little light. This is the principle of Hong Tao getting along with his neighbors, and he must not do anything that harms others and benefits himself, which will make him a public enemy. Even if you want to take advantage, you have to take advantage of the public's house, and you have to pull the neighbors to take advantage of it, and you have to score more or less points. In this way, no one will go against themselves with a black heart.

After entering this gate hole, there are two blue brick walls more than four meters high on the left and right, and two identical black lacquer courtyard gates. Under the door is two layers of bluestone strips as the base, a round stone door pier on one side, more than a foot high threshold wrapped with shiny copper skin, there are two hexagonal household pairs on the door, the standard Qing Dynasty courtyard structure.

Inside the courtyard gate on the west side is the small courtyard of Zhang Yuanyuan and Sun Lili, but the head of the household is Hong Tao, and it is said that it is borrowed by a friend of the uncle. To the east is the original courtyard of Hong Tao's house, push the door and enter the first wall, the left is the West House, and the courtyard is after bypassing this wall to the right. This wall is not a shadow wall, but also a shadow wall, so that even if the gate is fully open, people outside cannot see the situation in the courtyard.

The renovated yard has not changed much from the original, that is, the south side is full of back gables, and there is only a small gate. However, the house is completely different from the original, first of all, it is much taller, and secondly, there is a porch sticking out of front of each house, sparing most of the courtyard from east to west. One of the advantages of this is that if it rains or snows, you can walk along the porch from the East House to the West House without your feet getting wet or wet. If Wen Qing'er commits a crime, he can still express his feelings in the wind and rain under the corridor, and he is dry and refreshing when he is compassionate!

Hong Tao didn't know who invented the porch, but he thought it must have been made up by ancient literati, and this thing was too much in line with their character. It's hopeless to let yourself chant poetry and paint in this life, but it's still good to bask in the sun here when the weather is good and the sun is full. Even if people don't dry it, it's good to hang their clothes and quilts under them to dry, even if the sky suddenly changes, they are not afraid, there is something covering them. The things of the elegant people are not wasted in the hands of the laity, and they are used to the fullest.

Finally, there are several large glass windows on the south side of the roof of the north house, commonly known as skylights.

Because the house is high, it is too wasteful to seal the roof completely, and Hong Tao is not used to such a high roof, so he always feels that he lives in the temple. So the little sister-in-law came up with an idea for him, that is, to make the north room into an attic structure, the roof of the main house is also the floor of the attic, the roof of the five north houses is actually open, and the staircase is in the westernmost room.

In this way, not only can you use a lot more space, but you can also use these skylights to turn the attic into a sunroom. Especially in winter, putting a recliner in the attic and basking in the warm sun through the skylight can not only replace part of the heating, but also make people feel comfortable.

In fact, this structure is not the original creation of my brother-in-law, he has been to several countries to help build before, and he can be regarded as having contact with people from the outside world. According to him, many houses in Europe and the United States have such a structure, which can open the skylight for ventilation in summer, bask in the sun in winter, and use the attic as a storage room in normal times, and can also be used as a living room when needed. As long as the multi-layer vacuum glass of the skylight does not leak, there will be no problems of poor insulation and rain leakage.
