Chapter 63
As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Zhao Yong got up. As soon as Grandpa Lin opened the door and was about to set up a stall, he saw Zhao Yong standing outside the door.
"Xiao Yong is here, I don't know if I got up or not, you sit in the hall for a while, I'll call her." Grandpa Lin let Zhao Yong in, turned on the light in the hall and said.
"Okay." Zhao Yong actually wanted to say let me go and wake her up, but in the end, reason overcame his impulse, and he obediently sat on the bench and waited for the girl to come out.
After a while, the girl came out, her high ponytail tied up, revealing a small face the size of a palm, probably because she had just washed up, and her face seemed to be still with thick moisture, which looked exceptionally clean and moisturized. Zhao Yong thinks that this is probably the so-called water hibiscus feeling.
"Brother, let's go." An mentally adjusted his bag and beckoned Zhao Yong to leave.
"I haven't eaten yet, Xiao Yong will leave after eating. Ask your grandmother to make you bean curd rice. Grandpa Lin saw that the two of them were about to leave, and hurriedly beckoned Zhao Yong to have breakfast at home before leaving.
"It's too troublesome, my brother and I just go out to eat a bowl of rice noodles." Anxin didn't want to keep my grandmother busy so early.
"What's the trouble, the visitor is a guest, you stupid girl entertains guests like this!" Grandpa Lin glanced at him reproachfully. Anxin and Zhao Yong finally had dinner at Lin's house before setting off to find Anxin's uncle in the county seat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ scene dividing line ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The aunt of the Lin family was weighing bean sprouts for the guests, and the little Doudouran next to her clapped her hands happily and jumped up: "Mom, Sister Anxin and Uncle Zhao Yong are here!" ”
Aunt Lin looked outside, and happened to see Zhao Yong and Anxin talking and laughing and walking towards the shop, quickly collecting money and looking for money, and then beckoning Anxin: "Xiaoyong, Xinxin is here, come in and sit." He shouted to Uncle Lin, who was grinding soy milk to make tofu in the back yard: "Dad, come with peace of mind!" ”
Anxin walked into the shop, picked up Xiao Doudou, who was standing by the door and begged for a hug, and swept into the house: "Auntie, Sister Yanzi is not here?" ”
"She, as soon as she was on vacation, she went to her classmates to play, saying that she would wait a few days to come back." Aunt Lin said with a smile.
Xiao Doudou is three or four years old, and it is when Xue Yu is cute and rare, but Zhao Yong looked at the girl's slender arms holding such a big dumpling, afraid that she would be tired, and thought that their family discussed the matter of repairing the house, and it was better to avoid it as an outsider, so he took Xiao Doudou and said, "Doudou, Brother Xiaoyong will take you out to play, how about buying you something delicious?" ”
"Okay, Uncle Xiaoyong, you're the best!" Xiao Doudou was taken out of Zhao Yong's peace of mind, transferred to Zhao Yong's arms, and kissed Zhao Yong's face.
Zhao Yong's head was full of black lines, and he said that he was Xiao Yong's brother, and he called me uncle for Mao......
Zhao Yong led Xiaodoudou away, and Uncle Lin packed up the things in the backyard and came out to sit next to Anxin: "Xinxin came so early?" Have you eaten, haven't you eaten and asked your aunt to give you some food.? ”
"Eat." Answer obediently.
"How much money did you prepare to renovate the house?" Uncle Lin is not a person who is good at words, and he goes straight to today's topic.
"I don't know, it's enough anyway, this time the novel was published with a sum of money, it should be enough."
"Then tell me what you want to renovate it into, and I'll give you an estimate." When Uncle Lin didn't have enough money, he would also let Aunt Lin watch the shop alone, and go out to pick up the odd jobs of the construction team by herself, so she still knows a lot about this aspect.
"My idea is that the first floor should not be touched much, that is, the current door should be replaced, the roller shutter doors of other shops, and the floor tiles should be paved, and the paint on the walls should be repainted. The drainage of the place where the backyard grinds tofu sprouts should be redone, the stove should be re-tiled, which looks clean, and the toilet should be re-tiled with a water heater. ”
"Well, you've been using that line for many years, you can take advantage of this renovation to change it, what about the second floor, what are you going to do on the second floor?"
The first floor of Anxin's house is a brick house, and the second floor was built to save money in the old-fashioned mud house, and there is a long balcony on the street side, and then three rooms, and then there is a large square balcony above the kitchen of the tofu processing workshop in the backyard.
"I don't want this balcony on the street side, I don't feel very safe, so I demolished the three houses and rebuilt them, and expanded the original balcony on the street into the house. It's still three rooms. However, every window facing the street should be opened, a window should be opened on this side of the backyard, and a burglar-proof window should be installed on the window on the street side. In addition, my grandmother wants to repair a bathroom for them in their room, so it is convenient to go to the toilet at night when they are older. The balcony above the tofu mill is welded with a large stainless steel shelf, and the balcony on the street side is gone, so you always have to find a place to dry your clothes. You can also put up a shelf to bring the grape from the backyard upstairs, and it won't be so hot in the summer. ”
"Upstairs, are you going to lay tiled floors or wooden floors?" Uncle Lin nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Let's put a wooden floor upstairs, or the same walls to paint." Anxin thought about it and answered.
"The three rooms on the second floor are built into bungalows or tiled houses?"
"Build a bungalow, the tiled house is easy to leak."
"It's hot in the summer in the bungalow. I will come to you from time to time to turn over the tiles for you, and the tiles will not leak. "Uncle Lin still suggested repairing the tiled house.
"It's okay, I was going to install an air conditioner in my grandfather and grandmother's house. It's better to build a bungalow and save trouble. ”
"Oh well. Such a rough estimate is about 178,000, 200,000. Let's buy materials and run more by ourselves, and save some about 170,000 yuan. Xinxin, you made money and took such a large sum of money all of a sudden, did you have the money to go to college in the future? Uncle Lin was a little worried, although he heard that Anxin said that some novels made money, but hundreds of thousands of dollars is not a small amount.
"Don't worry, uncle, I remember, I have prepared the money for college in the future, Sister Yanzi and Xiaodoudou are studying in college, and I have also prepared a sum of money for them." Anxin knows that the eldest uncle's family has really taken care of themselves for more than ten years, but they are too poor and can only help, and now that they are living well, they will not forget the eldest uncle's family.
"Silly boy, what are you talking about, your sister Yanzi and Xiaodoudou will earn the money for your sister Yanzi and Xiaodoudou's study. When you pick up your money, keep it for your own study, and keep it for the future as a dowry, your ruthless mother doesn't care about you, and you don't have your mother's family to support you, you have to be a little tougher. In the future, if your uncle and I really encounter any difficult hurdles that we can't get over, it would be good if you had the ability to help us again. The eldest aunt listened to the two of them discussing matters and didn't interject, but she was very proud of Anxin's current appearance, but when she heard that Anxin planned to give Yanzi and Xiaodoudou money to go out of college, she spoke. How can you use your niece's money to support your own baby, and it's not that you can't support it, so you resolutely disagree.
"Your aunt is right. Knowing that you are filial, your aunt and I will really have a hard time in the future, and I will definitely talk to you and not be polite to you. But raising swallows and beans is your aunt's business, don't interfere. Spend your money to support him, and I don't want the backbone of my old Lin family. ”
"Okay then, uncle, tell me if you have anything in the future. It's good that I can do my part. "Anxin no longer persuades, because it is a family, and the eldest uncle and aunt are not the kind of people who hypocritically say not to do the opposite in their hearts, so they don't say more.
"In the afternoon, you write down the materials you want to buy for the renovation, and then you go to buy the materials, I'm afraid you have to buy them for a few days, and then you can start the work. Baby, these days, you are watching the shop alone, the bean sprouts are growing, and I will come back at night to make the tofu. Uncle Lin commanded.
"Yes, I know. I'll clean up the upstairs room and let Xiao Yong sleep in it, and you can sleep in the swallow's house with peace of mind. Aunt Lin responded with a smile.
