"Sister, this is it, welcome home!"

Cao Zhiqiang, who unlocked the door of the verandah leading to the west courtyard, pushed open the iron fence door with a smile, and then took the initiative to invite his sister over.

After officially entering the West Cross Courtyard, looking at the brand-new bluestone slab floor in the courtyard, as well as the flower beds set aside separately, and the wooden pavilion with tables, chairs and grape trellises, Cao Jiajia was stunned.

"Is this our house?" Cao Jiajia was surprised, "I feel completely different!" ”

"Yes, this is our family!" Cao Zhiqiang walked in with a smile, "Sister, you take a look around first, I'll put the things in the house and talk later." ”

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang, who had a large bag and a small bag, walked to the main room of the North House first, took out the key to open the door lock, and then pushed the door in.

As for Cao Jiajia, she took two children who were also shining with curiosity to walk around and look everywhere in the newly decorated courtyard.

Especially the two children, I am very happy.

Because in the small courtyard of the West Cross Courtyard, there is not only a wooden pavilion, but also some fitness equipment such as horizontal bars and parallel bars, as well as a particularly good-looking wrought iron swing and an iron seesaw.

Children don't know what to decorate and not to decorate, they know what is fun.

Obviously, the wrought iron swing immediately attracted their attention.

So after obtaining their mother's consent, Xia Wenfang and Xia Wenxuan immediately ran to the swing and seesaw and began to have fun.

As for Cao Jiajia, she walked to the gazebo, sat on a chair and looked left, right, left and right.

She soon found that the floor, tables and chairs in the gazebo were all new, and they were all wooden, which was not only comfortable to touch, but also comfortable to step on.

Look at the surrounding houses, such as the inverted seat room, the east and west wings, the surface has been repainted, and the doors and windows have to be replaced with new ones.

But the most eye-catching thing is the glass house built in front of all the houses, or glass verandah.

Cao Jiajia is actually very curious about these glass houses, but when she first arrived, she was embarrassed to look at them.

Soon, Cao Zhiqiang, who had put his things away, walked out of the main house of the north house, crossed the glass verandah, and came to the pavilion along the non-slip bluestone pavement, and sat opposite Cao Jiajia.

"How is it, eldest sister, can you still recognize it?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

Cao Jiajia sighed: "If you don't say it, I can't recognize it at all, this is where I used to live, and it has changed too much." ”

Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "The original design was not suitable for living, so I found someone to decorate it as a whole, which made it like this."

Although the appearance has changed, and there is no longer the style of the past, don't you think it looks better and is more livable? ”

Cao Jiajia nodded: "Indeed, it looks foreign!" ”

Cao Zhiqiang stood up and said, "Let's go, sister, I'll show you around, by the way, introduce this new house?" ”

"Okay!" Cao Jiajia stood up with a smile, "I was going to do this." ”

"Come, let me introduce you to this gazebo first." Cao Zhiqiang walked to the side with a smile and knocked on the pillar of the gazebo with his hand.

"Sister, this is all wooden, you can drink tea here, play chess or something.

On the south aisle of the pavilion, there is also a wooden grape trellis, and there are flower beds with flowers and grass on both sides of the aisle.

Although there is nothing now, it is bare and ugly, but once the grapes and flowers are planted, after a year or two, it will look very good. ”

Cao Jiajia then stood up and looked at it, and nodded slightly: "Indeed, I put my heart into it." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "It's nothing, the most proud places in this courtyard are actually those sunshine verandahs." ”

"The Sunshine Gallery?" Cao Jiajia was stunned, "What is it?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang casually pointed to the glass houses built in front of those houses: "It is those glass houses that are connected together, these glass houses are connected in series to form a verandah, I specially called the Sunshine Verandah." ”

After that, Cao Zhiqiang began to take Cao Jiajia to the Sunshine Corridor to introduce the situation of this Sunshine Corridor in detail.

It turned out that this house with a west courtyard had no verandah before, whether it was the main house of the north house, the east and west wings, or the inverted seat room of the south house.

In other words, in the original design of the house, you pushed the door open from the house and went directly into the patio.

At this time, if it rains, you push open the door and it will rain outside.

Previously, the corridor leading from the west courtyard to the middle courtyard had a wooden brick roof to protect it from rain.

In the past, the residents of the West Cross Courtyard basically put their bicycles in the covered corridor leading from the West Cross Courtyard to the Middle Courtyard to avoid the sun and rain.

Of course, because the covered corridor is ventilated on all sides, if there is a heavy rainstorm, it will definitely not work, it will rain.

The reason why it was this pattern in the past was because this courtyard house was originally the house of a large family in the pre-Qing Dynasty.

In the earlier layout, this western courtyard was just a simple small garden.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to increase the number of residences, this courtyard was renovated.

The part of the main courtyard, that is, the places where He Yuzhu lived, could not be greatly changed, so it could only be overhauled and more houses were built in the east-west courtyard.

The part of the east and west courtyards is also because it is a temporary house built later, so it is naturally not so particular.

The west cross courtyard is actually okay, probably because the overall area is a little smaller, and it still maintains a basic courtyard structure.

Because of the large area, in order to accommodate more people, there were many houses built later, which is the real row upon row, and it is a real miscellaneous courtyard.

The current design is to add a glass house to all the houses here, including the main house of the north house, the east and west wings, and the inverted house of the south house.

These covered glass houses are all connected to each other to form a veritable glass verandah.

In this way, even on a rainy day, if you push the doors of all the rooms and walk back and forth between them, you will not be exposed to the rain because of these glass verandahs.

It is limited by factors such as materials and technology, and of course, construction time.

The main frame of the entire glass verandah is made of reinforced concrete, and then a large number of large glass windows are added.

Because the frame parts are very spaced apart and there are many glass parts, the entire glass verandah looks like it is made of large pieces of glass from a distance, which is very beautiful.

Most glazing, including a large number of top-glass skylights, can be opened.

When it is not windy or rainy, or when it is not cold, the glass windows can be opened to maximize ventilation.

In the event of wind and rain, or in winter, you can close the windows to increase the warmth.

Don't underestimate this, this is a very effective design in the winter north.

The glass verandahs were electrified, and wall lamps were added at intervals.

Power outlets are also installed in many places.

In this way, it will be convenient in case there is an electric car that needs to be charged, or an appliance that needs to be plugged in.

In addition, there are pipes reserved at the top and bottom here, and if you install an air conditioning system, a fresh air system, or a broadband and other messy ones in the future, you can also expand them casually.

The only bad thing is that the design of this glass verandah destroys the original courtyard style.

However, for Cao Zhiqiang, he has always been practical.

And what about the renovation of this quadrangle, he didn't plan to make money at the beginning, he just wanted to live by himself, so how comfortable was it.

"The glass veranda also has radiators." Cao Zhiqiang continued, "With these radiators, it will be very warm here when the doors and windows are closed in winter. ”

"Isn't it?" Cao Jiajia frowned, "It's just a matter of installing heating in the house, and there is also heating in this glass house, wouldn't it be too wasteful?" And with so many radiators, ordinary stoves can't pull up. ”

"Don't worry." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "There is a part of the inverted seat room in the south house, I asked people to change a boiler room, and when the time comes, as long as you buy a high-power boiler, you don't have to worry about not being able to pull it up."

Also, if you feel wasteful, that's okay.

In fact, the radiators in the sun veranda are connected in parallel with the radiators in the house.

If you don't want these radiators in the sun verandah to get heat, you can close the valve here, it's very simple. ”

"That's right." Cao Jiajia frowned, "You can get a separate boiler room, how much coal does this have to burn?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Eldest sister, the house has been changed, do you still care about that little money?"

Don't worry, the coal every year in the future will be wrapped up in me, and you don't need to spend money.

Of course, this is just for now.

When central heating can be provided here, it is better to connect the central heating pipes. ”

Cao Jiajia hurriedly said: "That's embarrassing." ”

"What's embarrassing?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Sister, our family doesn't speak two words."

To put it mildly, the consumption I just talked about is actually no different from you spending a penny to me now.

If you don't have a penny, do you care? ”

Cao Jiajia smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot, you are not a bad money now." ”

"The big money may be barely counted, and the money is not bad." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "I'm actually still very short of money, but my lack of money is not here."

So I really don't have to worry about this kind of consumption in life. ”

Cao Jiajia smiled: "Na Cheng, since you have said so, if I push it back, it will be hypocritical." ”

"It's long overdue." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang said to Cao Jiajia again: "Sister, the situation in the yard is like that, let's take a look in the future, let's go back to the living room first and see how you usually live?" ”

"Okay!" Cao Jiajia smiled and nodded.

Soon, Cao Zhiqiang took Cao Jiajia to his original home, which was the east wing earlier.

After entering here, I found that this side has been transformed into a bedroom and a study and a bathroom.

In other words, the south part of this east wing is the bedroom, the middle room is the bathroom and dressing room, and the north room is the study.

In other words, the original set of three has become a bathroom in the middle, and a bedroom and a study on both sides.

This pattern was specially requested by Cao Zhiqiang, but Cao Jiajia felt very strange after seeing it.

"Little brother." Cao Jiajia asked Cao Zhiqiang strangely, "Why did you change this to this?" In the middle hall, you actually changed it into a bathroom and a dressing room? What do you think? ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Of course, it's for convenience." ”

After that, Cao Zhiqiang explained the benefits of this to Cao Jiajia.

According to Cao Zhiqiang, doing so can make it easier to go to the toilet.

In the future, if you sleep here, if you want to go to the toilet, you don't have to run far anymore, the room next to it is.

And because it is the original hall renovation, the area is large enough, so the bathroom has also been separated from dry and wet, there is a special place to go to the toilet, there is a special place to take a bath, and the middle is made of ground glass partition.

Where you go to the toilet, a flushable squatting toilet is installed, and the sewage pipe below leads to a septic tank in the courtyard outside.

Not only the toilets here lead to the septic tank, but the toilets in all other rooms also lead to the septic tank.

In this way, you only need to find a sanitation worker regularly and come over to clean the septic tank.

It can be said that if you live here, you will never need to go to the toilet every morning in the future.

As for the bathing place, it is called the washroom, and there is a bathtub and a shower here.

A liquefied gas water heater has been installed in the room here.

For safety, the liquefied gas water heater is installed in the compartment outside the washroom, and the gas tank is also installed.

The partition between the compartment and the washroom is a thick concrete wall, so in the event of an explosion in the chamber, the washroom will not be harmed.

Moreover, the compartment also has an electric ventilation fan, which is turned on when it is necessary to take a bath, and the ventilation fan is constantly forced to ventilate.

This avoids gas poisoning.

There is no way, the current gas water heaters are all straight discharge, not strong exhaust type, so for the sake of safety, Cao Zhiqiang deliberately used this compartment and exhaust fan.

Outside the washroom, there is a changing room.

Inside are wooden cabinets, with three large fitting mirrors and a leather seat.

Here, you can change your clothes as much as you like.

Whether it is a toilet or a changing room, they are all side by side, and the area is half as narrow as the original middle hall.

In this case, you can reserve a corridor from the bedroom in the east wing to any of the rooms along this corridor corridor.

In short, putting the restroom and changing room in the middle is for comfort, and everything is practical.

Not only the East Wing is this pattern, but the North House is also a similar pattern.

It's just that on the side of the main room of the north house, there is no study, and it is replaced by a living room.

In other words, if you want to entertain guests, go to the living room of the main room of the North House.

If the owner of the main house wants to sleep, he can go to the master bedroom of the main house to sleep.

As for the east and west wings, they can be used by children.

"Eldest sister, this is just right now." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "When your brother-in-law comes, you and your brother-in-law will live in the main room, and then you and the two children will live in the east wing together when they are young, and when they grow up, they will live in one wing room by themselves, how good it is." ”

"Huh?" Cao Jiajia was stunned, "Do you want to give us the main house and the east and west wings?" ”

"yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"And what do you do?" Cao Jiajia asked, "The main house and the east and west wings are for us to live in, where do you live?" ”

"Me?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "I don't live here, this place is reserved for you." ”

Cao Jiajia suddenly realized and slapped her forehead: "Look at my brain, I forgot that you had already bought a house outside, and you wanted to live with Qinghong." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "That's right. ”

"But it's too extravagant." Cao Jiajia looked around and sighed.

Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Sister, if I want to choose by myself, I definitely don't like it here, because it is too old, even if it is renovated and renovated to this extent, it is actually not livable, at least it does not meet the standard of a good house in my mind."

But after all, this is an ancestral house, a place where we grew up, and I have some thoughts, so I keep it to this day, and I also bought all the neighbors' houses and renovated them.

I just thought that if you come back in the future, at least you can have a home.

In any case, this is the common home of you and me, and it is also the root of you and me.

I've been able to go out now, but you'd better come back here for the time being.

I believe that if you live here, you won't feel uncomfortable anymore, right? ”

As soon as she heard this, Cao Jiajia's eyes immediately moistened: "Zhiqiang, it's hard for you to be so thoughtful!" You, you've really grown up! ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Everyone has to grow up, I can't always be the little heel behind your ass." ”

"Hahaha!" Cao Jiajia wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "That's what I said, everyone has to grow up, and sooner or later there will be that day!" ”

Speaking of this, Cao Jiajia couldn't hold back her tears again: "Thank you, thank you very much, Qiangzi!" ”

"You're welcome." Cao Zhiqiang smiled again.

"Sister, it's still the same sentence, the family doesn't speak two words.

You stay here first, take a slow, get used to it, and in two days, I will help you arrange work and transfer relationships.

When you have a formal job and the file falls, you don't have to worry about anything. ”
