() When I returned home that night, Zhang Yuan began to decorate the house. **As a homeowner, I know the house very well, and immediately gave a lot of rationalization. For example, the house is single-glazed, which is a bit cold in winter and a little hot in summer. For another example, the house was painted white in the past, but now that it has been a long time, some places have begun to fall off the wall skin. There are also some safety hazards, such as the water heater is old-fashioned and has no anti-electric walls; When I bought a gas stove, because the picture was cheap, I also chose the one that was not leak-proof, etc...... If the house is rented to outsiders, it is not a problem. But now that my family wants to use it, I naturally can't ignore it.

Zhang Yuan took a small notebook and wrote it down one by one, preparing to implement the same transformation. Grandma Zhang reminded on the side: "You have to prepare the covering." I've got a few sets here, so you can use them first. ”

Zhang Yuan shook his head while remembering and said, "No need." I'm getting a new one. It's not just bedding. Sofa covers, tablecloths, curtains, and cushions should be bought new. And pots and pans and stuff. I saw that the stools in the room were also shaky, so I simply changed them together. We also planned to add a queen bed to the cottage. A few pieces of furniture should also be added to the sunny bedroom. By the way, brother, I'm going to throw away that little bed in your sunny room. We wanted to convert that room into a living room. ”

Before she could speak, Grandma Zhang hurriedly said, "It's a pity to throw it away, let's put it in the small room downstairs first." ”

"That's right!" Zhang Yuan said suddenly: "There is a small room downstairs, I forgot about it!" What's in it? ”

** said: "It's all sundries." Do you want to use it? I'll clear it out for you tomorrow. ”

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Don't be in a hurry first, wait for me to pretend to see it." Maybe you won't need it yet. In addition, in the bathroom, I also have to install an elderly handrail. As she spoke, she added this item to the back of the list, and after adding it, she took the list and looked at it carefully, and after thinking about it for a while, she added a "washing machine". **When I saw it, I said, "Although the washing machine is a double cylinder, it is quite easy to use." ”

Zhang Yuan didn't raise his head and said, "That's not good." I have to change to a fully automatic one. Oh, and drying racks. You still have two wires in there. ”……

The three of them discussed for a night, and finally settled on what they wanted to renovate and repurchase. Qi Lingjuan listened for a while at first, because she felt that after all, she was going to decorate her house, and she also hoped to decorate it better, anyway, she didn't want to spend money herself. But listening to it, seeing that Zhang Yuan thought so thoughtfully about her in-laws, she gradually felt bored, and finally took the child back to the house to look at the computer.

The first step in the renovation is to replace the windows. Replace single-glazed windows with double-glazed windows. In this way, the warmth of the house is guaranteed. Originally, Zhang Yuan also wanted to replace a few old heaters, but the quality of the new ones may not be good, although the old ones are not good-looking, but the quality is still okay after so many years. So Zhang Yuan gave up for the time being.

The task of changing the windows was handed over to **. Generally speaking, men are more knowledgeable and interested in these things than women. ** Happily took it, and it was done in a few days. Overall, the quality is good and the price is not expensive. Maybe it's because she's too afraid of her wife, ** is always timid to do things in front of Qi Lingjuan, and it's not appropriate to do it. But if it's someone else's business, such as Zhang Yuan this time, he can do it very well. Zhang Yuan secretly sighed for her brother, the advantages and disadvantages of her spouse really have too much influence on people.

Next is to work on the wall. Because they wanted to pick up the old man as much as possible, Zhang Yuan and they didn't choose to paint latex paint for a long time, but instead used a convenient and quick wallpaper. Yu Jiangbin also called and said that he could consider using diatom mud. **I found a merchant I knew who sold diatom mud and came to take a look. Because it was an acquaintance, the other party reminded that the gray number on the wall seemed to be a bit insufficient, and if you use diatom mud, it may crack in the future. If they don't mind, of course...... As a result, Zhang Yuan minded. So in the end, I used wallpaper. When it was pasted, Grandma Zhang went over to supervise the work and brought Aunt Li with her. Aunt Li was already keen on other people's family affairs, and this kind of checkkeeping and picking work was her forte, so she followed it upside down. Sure enough, under the supervision and guidance of two attentive old ladies, the wallpaper is also very standardized.

The back is the replacement of the battery. At first, Zhang Yuan wanted to buy all the new ones, but then remembered that the original set at home was useless when Yu Jiangbin and his wife moved out. That set has been replaced sporadically in the past two years, and the oldest ones are also seventy or eighty percent new. It's better to replace all that set when the time comes. If you want to rent out that house, you can replace it with what you can use here, and then add some casually.

Although her mother and brother helped, Zhang Yuan was heavier after all, and after working for the past few days, she began to feel a terrible backache. Although she kept saying that it was okay, Grandma Zhang and Yu Jiangbin were a little scared and unanimously asked her to rest. The rest of the work was handed over to Yu Jiangbin.

Yu Jiangbin asked his eldest brother to measure the size of the room, and went to the furniture city in the morning to order all the furniture to be bought at once. He has been in business for so many years, and bargaining is his forte. In the end, not only did he get a very low discount, but he also asked the store to spare a few chairs. ** Follow him to help, but he didn't say a word at all, only helped to report the required size. **The first time I experienced my brother-in-law's side of such a mouthful, I was so shocked that my jaw couldn't close. After leaving the store, he made an appointment with Yu Jiangbin, and next time he and Qi Lingjuan came to buy furniture, he must come over to help bargain.

After buying the furniture, the work of staring at the door-to-door installation will be handed over to **. Zhang Yuan explained to her brother in advance where she wanted to place the furniture, and while listening, she wrote and drew on the paper, and finally gave a decent floor plan. **Commanding the workers to install and place according to the drawings, Zhang Yuan went to "inspect" it, and it was exactly what he thought! She was happy to praise her eldest brother for his ability, and at the end she didn't forget to make a joke of him: "You can understand the leader's intentions so well, sister-in-law can't be happy every day!" ”

** shook his head and said: "Save it, your sister-in-law doesn't blame me, I'll thank God." ”

After the furniture thing is busy, except for the household appliances, there is no major work. Install a clothes pole, hang a curtain, change a bedspread, sofa cover or something, Grandma Zhang and ** take turns to get it. Zhang Yuan only needs to help pick out the tricks and talk about the requirements.

When this side is over, Yu Jiangbin's transfer of his child to kindergarten has also become visible. **The family's Dudu is also in the city kindergarten, as soon as Maomao turns around, Grandma Zhang will take care of the child's affairs by herself. Yu Jiangbin's father and son also moved to Grandma Zhang's side to live. Zhang Yuan's family was finally reunited.
