Chapter 188: No amount of house is enough
After eating and drinking, Yin Xiangnan fell asleep directly, in the end, he was injured, lost a lot of blood, and lacked energy. It didn't matter if Li Han didn't sleep all night, so he sat next to the fire. Although it is a June day, the night in the mountains will not be so hot, lighting a fire can also prevent wild beasts, but the mosquitoes are a little more powerful, Li Han slept in the space for the first two days without this trouble, and he couldn't stand it after sitting for a while, but he didn't prepare mosquito medicine, and finally simply took a picture of himself "steel and iron bones" charm, even the skin that can't be cut into the knife, to see how the mosquitoes still stare at bite.
I have to say that Li Han's medicine has always been very useful, and early the next morning, when Yin Xiangnan took off his clothes and changed his dressing, the wound was already much better, and it was better than his previous injuries that had been recuperated for two or three days.
Seeing that the wound was no longer too in the way, Yin Xiangnan asked Li Han to say goodbye, he was in danger this time because he fell into a trap, and he was separated from his comrades when he broke through, and now he has to find them quickly.
Li Han didn't stay long, he also had to hurry back to the UK, it was June 20th, and he should get on a cruise ship to the United States after going back to rest for a few days. So he gave Yin Xiangnan another bottle of wound medicine, and then waved his hand and went his own way.
As soon as I got out of the mountain, my mobile phone rang wildly, and there was no signal for two days after entering the mountain, dozens of calls and text messages, including Lydia's, a few friends, Prince William's, and two assistants and Wood, the head of the clinic.
Li Han naturally called Lydia back first: "...... I just came out of the mountain and dug up a lot of herbs...... I know, it's okay, there are no beasts in the mountains...... I'll go back to London now, and I'll buy my ticket before I go into the mountains...... Are you coming to London tomorrow? …… What day after tomorrow? …… Oh. Queen's birthday, okay, let's go and join in the fun. ”
Then there is Prince William, William has nothing to look for him, that is, Harrison has returned to London, and William called him to thank him. He also knew that Li Han would travel all the way to Thailand to treat Harrison, and that was for his sake, so he specially called to thank him, but Li Han entered the mountain and couldn't be contacted at all.
As for a few friends, it's just greetings and small talk. Li Han took his mobile phone all the way to the car and called all the way. When I arrived at the airport, my phone was hot, so I had the opportunity to call the assistant back.
Qi An'an reported to him the progress of the clinic, although the British construction workers were a bit of a grinder. Half of the building has been built in the past month. In addition, Mr. Harrison sent a cheque for £20,000. When I was in Thailand, everyone else was almost gone. I also lost my cheque book, and I returned to the UK to make up for it. There are also agents who have found a few suitable houses and waited for Li Han to see, but he is not in the UK. Qi An'an went around, screened it, and left two buildings to wait for Li Han to choose.
So Li Han first took a plane from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, and then took an eleven hour ride from Bangkok back to London, not to mention, after getting off the plane, it was a big surprise: Lydia actually came to pick up the plane, and then met Tom at the airport, he had just returned from the United States.
So Lydia picked up the two of them alone, and drove them both back to Wittfield Street, and Li Han also said: "You can just go to my house with me, and you don't have to find a place to eat." ”
Tom had long been accustomed to eating at Li Han's house, so he didn't even go home, and went directly to 76 Witfield Street. Lydia came to London early in the morning, and she had already gone to the city to buy food, and she didn't let Li Han cook: "You must be tired after taking such a long flight, so let's eat Western food." "She is not very good at making complex Chinese food, and her skills are average, so when there are guests, she simply cooks Western food.
The fried tender salmon, the side dishes are cabbage and carrots, the beef beer pie and the chocolate pudding bought from the dessert shop, although it is a Western food that Li Han does not like to eat, but Lydia's skills in making Western food are still very good, plus the plane meal is unpalatable, which is common to the whole world, so it is also very fragrant.
The next day is the Queen's official birthday, and every year on a certain day in June, the United Kingdom celebrates the Queen's birthday. In fact, the Queen's birthday is in April, but London in April is still very cold, and the weather is the best in June, so a Saturday in June is chosen as her official birthday, and a military parade and parade are held every year to celebrate.
However, although the scene is large and lively, the fun is not as interesting as the Notting Hill Parade and the Halloween Parade, which give the British public and tourists a chance to see the Queen and several princes up close. So in the afternoon, Li Han simply took Lydia to see the house.
One of the two houses is in the south of England and the other is in the middle, and the southern one is closer, so Li Han decided to go there first.
Bristol in the southwest of England is next to Bath, and the River Avon runs through the city, and Dean has prepared a house on the banks of the River Avon, not far from Bristol Cathedral.
Bristol, a small British city, is known as the 'natural film and television base' thanks to its wildlife filmmaking and environmental activism. Peter Scott is also the founder of the town's celestial nature film festival, and David Attenborough, the BBC's nature documentary, is even more famous.
The house is a typical English pastoral style, covering an area of more than three hundred square meters, with only two floors, light brick-red walls and dark gray roof, which is beautiful. The only regret is that it has no yard, the road in front of it, and the river Avon in the back, but there is no sunroom. As for the decoration inside is very beautiful, and the attic that Li Han likes is no longer important, Li Han is no longer the poor ** silk who just came to the UK, he has seen more mansions, and his eyes are also picky, although he thinks this house is very beautiful, but he must be unwilling to live here.
Dean smiled: "The house in the Cotswolds is also very beautiful, and it has a front yard and a backyard, but unfortunately it's late today, I wonder if Mr. will have time to see the house tomorrow?" ”
Although the Cotswolds belong to the Midlands of England, they are not far from Bristol. Bristol is to the west of Bath, while the Cotswolds are to the north of Bath, both next to Bath.
The Cotswolds are located to the south of Shakespeare's country and to the east of the famous Oxford, with a long stretch of countryside blended with the Cotswolds' mountains. It has a long history, having been exhibited in the Middle Ages for wool-related commerce, and retains its traditional style and has a strong English small-town flavor.
The house Dean fancied was located in a village called Baibury in the Cotswolds, which was a beautiful village that was once used by the poet William? Morris praised it as "the most beautiful place in England".
The low hills of England create vast gentle slopes, with green fields in spring, summer, autumn and winter. In the undulating fields, there are many quaint towns and villages, where the mottled stone buildings depict seemingly ancient memories, and the streams flowing through the streets and buildings are fresh and refined, like an oil painting of paradise scenery.
Baibury is typical of this painting.
When we first arrived, there was a light rain in the sky, which gave this somewhat mysterious little village a fairytale color, and the old houses with light grey walls and dark grey roofs that are characteristic of the English countryside and the paths are pleasant to look at.
Here, every eye is full of all kinds of flowers. The British love to raise flowers, and every yard is planted with a variety of roses, moonflowers, and camellias...... Even if you don't have a yard, you have to buy a lot of flower pots and hang them by the door and put them on the windowsill, red, white, pink, yellow, green...... Splendid.
The house Li Han wanted to see also had light gray walls and dark gray roofs, but it was taller and younger than the other houses. In fact, this house can already be said to be a villa, covering an area of 500 square meters, and there are more than 100 square meters of yards in the front and back. In front of the villa is a path over which the River Cohen goes around the Bybury.
Although the river is not wide, the water quality is particularly clear, and you can see all kinds of pebbles at the bottom of the river and aquatic plants in the river. The turbulent water adds to the momentum of the small river and makes him more vibrant, and the big trout in the river make splashes from time to time to add to the liveliness.
Li Han watched the river for a while, and there were indeed crayfish infested inside, not much, but if you fish for one or two hours, it is enough for two people to eat.
He was happy with the house, close to Oxford and very easy to visit Lydia. The scenery in the village is very beautiful, you won't get tired of watching it for a few months, the river water is also very clear, and the fishing is fun and the water is very good. These are satisfied, how the house itself is secondary, not to mention that the house is also quite beautiful.
The house only has two floors, but there is an attic above the second floor, which used to be what Li Han has always wanted. I didn't talk about it when I was in Huangguo, I only had a small two-bedroom apartment, and the house I bought in the UK didn't have a loft, and now I finally got my wish.
And the design of the house is also bright European, and the main color is white. Although Li Han likes British houses, what he likes is only the appearance, and he has always thought that the interior decoration is too dark and dark.
There is almost no partition on the first floor, the living room is connected to the dining room, and the kitchen is also open, which has to be changed to change this point, he must be doing Chinese food every day when he lives here, and if the kitchen is open, the living room can not be wanted, it is full of oil smoke.
Although the area is not too large, it also has a small west wing on the right side of the main house, where there is a recreation room and sun room. Going up the stairs, there is the master bedroom next to the stairs, with a large bathroom and dressing room, and a study room. On the west wing are two guest rooms, Li Han remembered in his heart, when he went back to decorate, this place would either be re-divided into three rooms, or the guest rooms would have to be replaced with two beds, otherwise if friends came to play, they would not be able to live at all.
Next is Li Han's favorite attic, the attic is not big, and because the spire is smaller, the lighting is good, and the sloping roof on both sides has a lot of windows. This was originally a utility room, Li Han looked around, and decided to change this place into a study, if you come to live in the future, it is very good to read books and drink tea here. The study on the second floor can be converted into a baby room and left for children to live in the future.
Speaking of which, there is no family planning in the UK, and there will definitely be more than one child in the future, and it seems that there is a danger that the guest room will need to be changed to a children's room in the future, and my friends will definitely be married by then, so there is no way to live in twos and two...... How do you feel that no matter how big a house you buy, it's not enough? (To be continued......) u
