Although the first meal back to the village was a little late, Xu Qingya was still very happy and happy. Seeing that the third aunt prepared a table full of dishes, Xu Qingya knew no matter how stupid she was, this third aunt really felt sorry for her.

Even during the meal, Xu Haibao smiled and quipped: "Auntie, it's not fair! Xiaoya will go back to the village, and you will prepare such a rich table of dishes." The last time I came back, why were there only a few bowls!

As a result, these words were directly exchanged for the third aunt's laughter and scolding: "Baowa, you still eat your sister's vinegar?"

From this conversation, Xu Qingya also knew that her return really made the third aunt very happy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have prepared such a large table of dishes. In fact, four people simply couldn't finish so many dishes.

Fortunately, it was winter, and I was not afraid to eat these dishes. If it's summer, the leftovers will probably go to waste. This feeling of being loved by someone still makes Xu Qingya feel very happy.

Taking advantage of the meal, Xu Haibao also said in a timely manner: "Third uncle, will anyone in the village repair the house?" I plan to decorate the old house and repair a bathroom and shower room. When my parents come back, I should be able to use it. ”

"Repair the bathroom? Your old Uncle Wu has been doing this all the time. In the past few years, I have been doing renovation for people in the city. When I'm done eating, I'll go with you to his house, and he happens to be fine anyway. Do your parents know all this?"

"You know, when I came back, I told them all. In fact, I'm going to renovate your house this time. Repairing a bathroom and pressing the water heater will cost you a few days. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Licheng quickly shook his head and said, "What are you doing with that unjust money!

"Third uncle, you are used to it. But think about it, if the starfish finds a girlfriend in the city, next time I will bring my girlfriend home for you to see. There's not even a separate bathroom and a place to take a shower, what will the girl think?"

Knowing the thrifty nature of the third uncle and the third aunt, I want to persuade them to decorate the old house together, but I am afraid that it is unlikely. But when it comes to the matter of the future daughter-in-law, Xu Haibao believes that both of them will be willing to spend this little money for decoration.

In fact, Xu Haibao has another purpose for doing this. That is, in the future, there will be fishing family fun. Installing a toilet and water heater is also convenient for travelers to stay on the island so that they will not even find a place to take a bath.

Nowadays, many villagers in the fishing village are accustomed to boiling hot water by themselves and then hiding in their rooms to wash. In the summer, swim a few laps in the sea, come back and rinse again with fresh water, even if you have taken a bath. In this kind of thing, the villagers are very casual.

Hearing Xu Haibao say this, Xu Licheng was stunned and felt that there was some truth. But in the end, he said: "Forget it for the time being! That kid just got work, and his girlfriend doesn't know where he is!

Understand that some things cannot be rushed, and if you want to change some of the villagers' inherent concepts, you must let them feel the benefits of renovating the old house. At least Xu Haibao believes that if you want to receive tourists to stay overnight in the future, toilets and bathrooms are indispensable.

After eating, Xu Licheng took the two brothers and sisters to Du Xingwu's house in the village. As a professional craftsman in the village, Du Xingwu's skill in building houses was also inherited from his father, and he was almost always approached for building houses in the village.

It's just that the craftsmanship that was popular back then is difficult to find things to do now. After all, Fulin Island is already the easternmost island in the East China Sea, and there was originally a nearby Washan Island inhabited, but a few years ago, it was relocated to the city, and the whole village was abandoned.

In this case, most of the people who stay in the village and have money to build a house will choose to buy a house in the city. Even if they can't live on their own, they also hope to send their children to the city, so that they will not let them follow their old paths and continue to live in the fishing village.

No one rebuilt the new house, so Du Xingwu naturally couldn't find anything to do. Although he goes out to sea to fish with others from time to time, fishing is not something Du Xingwu is good at. If he has the opportunity, Du Xingwu will also go into the city to find some casual workers.

Seeing Xu Licheng and Xu Haibao's brothers and sisters entering the door, Du Xingwu said with some surprise: "Licheng, why are you here? This is Liyan's daughter, right? I haven't seen her for many years, but they have grown into big girls." ”

"Uncle Wu, hello, I'm Qingya!"

"Hello, hello! Sit, sit casually, the house is a little messy, don't mind!"

Although Xu Haibao's family has moved into the city, for many of the older villagers in the village, they all know that Xu Liyan's family will come back from time to time. It's just that the number of times I have come back in recent years has decreased.

After sitting down, Xu Licheng also smiled and said, "Lao Wu, you have nothing to do these days, right?"

"It's nothing! Stay at home every day and have a leisurely meal! You bring the Baowa brothers and sisters here, there should be something, right?"

"Yes, Baowa is going to build a bathroom and install a water heater, and I thought you happened to be at home, so I brought them to you. My eldest brother and his family plan to go back to the village for the New Year this year, and it would be more convenient to have a bathroom and a bathing house!"

"Okay! There should be no problem with this! However, if you buy the materials yourself, what do you say?"

I heard that Xu Haibao planned to decorate the old house, even if it was to repair a bathroom. But for Du Xingwu, it was also a business. He has a craft but no work to do, and seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, he also wants to make more money for the New Year!

Repairing a bathroom is naturally not a big project for Du Xingwu. But if you work alone, you can earn a few days' wages. Anyway, staying at home and being idle is idle, and it's a good thing to earn some money for the New Year!

Xu Haibao, who was staying on the side, listened to the conversation between the two and said quickly: "Uncle Wu, if you are okay now, why don't you go to my house first." Choose which place to decorate the bathroom, how to decorate, I will also listen to your opinion.

In fact, I originally planned to renovate the old house, but seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is estimated that it will be too late. I'll talk to you about the renovation later, and you'll help with ideas.

If there is no big problem, I will also do it for you when the time comes. By the way, are there many masons in the village? If there are many people, I should be able to do some work for you next year. ”

"Are you going to renovate the old house? Are you going to stay in the village for a long time, and not go into the city?"

In Du Xingwu's view, who is willing to stay in the village now. Whenever there is a way out, they will choose to stay in the city. Listening to Xu Haibao's meaning, it seems that he plans to build a lot of construction in the village, but he doesn't plan to enter the city.

Facing Du Xingwu's inquiry and the third uncle's confusion, Xu Haibao said with a smile: "Let's talk about this matter after the New Year!"

I know that some things should not be said too clearly for the time being, otherwise I am afraid that it will attract gossip from the villagers. But for Xu Haibao, if he really wants to engage in island tourism in the future, the first thing that needs to be changed is the accommodation environment of the village.

Xu Haibao, who returned to the village this time, also planned to discuss with the village chief and buy the abandoned old house in the village to renovate it. Most of the houses in the fishing village are made of stones, and even if they are deserted, the foundations are very strong.

If such a house is repaired, Xu Haibao plans to make it into an island hotel. When the time comes, it will receive some visiting tourists for food and lodging. In Xu Haibao's view, as long as those old houses are repaired, they are all good houses facing the sea!

When the four of them came to Xu Haibao's old house together and walked into this two-story building with a courtyard, Xu Qingya felt very kind. Looking at the pressurized water well in the yard, Xu Qingya shook it a few times with interest.

"Ahh

"Why can't we use it? The water from our well is still very good! When the old house is renovated, I plan to build a water tower upstairs and install running water at that time, so that it will be more convenient to use water at home." ”

Looking at his little sister returning to the old house, with a curious and happy look, Xu Haibao was also a little crying and laughing. It's just that he knows that if he hadn't returned from the army this time, it is estimated that Xu Qingya would still choose to stay in the city for the New Year.

Du Xingwu, who walked in with him, looked at the layout of the house, and quickly said: "Baowa, the bathroom and the bathroom, do you plan to do it separately, or do it together?"

"Uncle Wu, what do you think?"

"If you want to save trouble, you can fix a bathroom under the stairs on the first floor. I took a look just now, and the area is quite large, so you can make the bathroom and bathroom together. It's just that in that case, it's not convenient to use.

If you really want to renovate your old house, then I suggest you do it upstairs and downstairs. Build a toilet with a squatting pit on the first floor, and a toilet on the second floor. If you want to take a shower, you can also pack one, or you can install two!"

For Du Xingwu, he was invited by Xu Haibao to do things and give suggestions. But he also knows that the cost of repairing two bathrooms must be higher than repairing one. Therefore, how to choose depends on Xu Haibao.

After some discussion and discussion, in the end, Xu Qingya made a decision to repair two directly. The reason is simple, if she goes home to live, it must be in the upstairs room. There is a toilet and bathroom upstairs, which is undoubtedly more convenient!
