Lao Guo was obviously serious, and consulted several questions in a row.

"If you only use ordinary firewood and bricks, and the quality is guaranteed, you don't want to be beautiful with bells and whistles, how much will it cost?"

Chen Xingling couldn't answer, and explained: "I haven't seen the specific place yet, I have to dig up the soil to see how many wooden piles are needed to repair the foundation, later decoration, etc., and I can't say the specific price before I am sure." ”

"Then how much did you spend on the 'Three Gardens'?" Guo Qingtian smiled and said, "I can roughly refer to it, and I can't afford to pay a lot of money." ”

Chen Xingling gestured two fingers and explained: "If you want to lay a good foundation and use slightly better materials, it may be 500 to 800 more. ”

Director Guo nodded slowly: "If it's this number, then I dare to consider it." ”

Then, he explained with a smile: "Although I am in a high position, I am also a person who receives a salary to live. Fortunately, the children are all grown up, and they only need to support their wives without spending too much money. The food subsidy in the factory is also good, and there are other subsidies in the season, so you can barely save some money around you. ”

"Abundance and thrift are made by people." Chen Xingling said: "How to choose depends on the individual's economic situation. If the economy allows, try to use good materials and materials, so that the house can withstand the wind and frost of the years. ”

"Yes." Director Guo echoed: "This is indeed the principle. If there are conditions, it will naturally be built better, and the better the quality, the longer it will be circulated. Like our ordinary brick houses, they will be dilapidated in a few decades at most, and they really can't last long. However, we are for the elderly, and even if we live longer, we will only live for twenty or thirty years at most. Ha ha! As long as we have enough, our children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and they will build their own in the future. ”

Chen Xingling smiled and explained: "The big garden we are building now is the new house of an old overseas Chinese who has returned to China. His expectations are different from yours. He wanted to build it with the best materials to ensure that the house would last for a long time. Let his descendants know that there is a beautiful mansion in his hometown, and he has to return to China from time to time to remember his ancestors, and he can also have a spacious and comfortable place to stay. ”

"Oh?" Guo Qingtian asked curiously: "What kind of material is used?" Which ones are the best? ”

Chen Xingling replied: "The foundation, wood, and stone are all the best. The foundation is very solid, the wood is made of durable and hard materials, and the stone is also beautiful and wear-resistant. If it is well maintained in the later stage, it will be no problem to last for one or two hundred years. Of course, Wumart can't be cheap, and the price is several times that of my house. ”

Director Guo was interested for a while, and asked seriously: "How many times?" ”

"More than four times." Chen Xingling replied.

Guo Qingtian raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then laughed.

"Out of reach! I can only choose the cheaper one. ”

Chen Xingling nodded: "Uncle Liao is a returned overseas Chinese, and there are many preferential policies to take care of. It was easier for him to buy land, and the price was not expensive, so he could spend his money on the cutting edge. ”

Guo Qingtian couldn't help but ask: "When will his big garden be repaired?" Can you take a tour? ”

"Absolutely." Chen Xingling explained: "Now we are working overtime to build, and it will probably be completed by the end of the year or early next year." ”

Guo Qingtian was surprised and asked, "Can it be so fast?!" ”

"Hmm." Chen Xingling confidently replied: "In terms of time, we try to make overall arrangements, plus the craftsmen and masters have sufficient manpower, and they can work hard in a hurry, so there are many people and the efficiency can be much higher." ”

Guo Qingtian nodded again and again: "That-then arrange it for me at the beginning of next year." ”

Chen Xingling smiled and asked, "Are you sure?" Don't need to go home and discuss with your wife? ”

"No, you don't." Lao Guo explained: "I have always planned to build a few more houses on that vacant land, but I am afraid that it will not look good after it is built, and I have no idea in my heart, so I have put it off until now." In the future, young people will go to live in the suite in the factory, and we are too old to climb the stairs because of our bad legs and feet, so it is better to live in our own house. ”

Chen Xingling was secretly happy and asked: "If I have the opportunity, I will take the designer to see the place first, and then finalize the plan and design drawings first?" ”

"Not bad, not bad!" Lao Guo approvingly: "Get the design drawings first, look satisfied and then arrange to start construction." ”

So, Liu Xinnian and Xiaohuzi haven't finished playing a game of chess, and a new business has been negotiated here!

At around nine o'clock, Liu Xinnian drove Lao Guo back.

Gu Qi and Chen Xingling watched the car go away and chatted in a low voice.

"That's a heavy punishment. For Lao Guo's sake, as long as she sincerely repents, there is no need for us to chase after her. ”

Chen Xingling nodded in approval: "We don't want to compensate, we just want her to be punished as she deserves, and she can't continue to act recklessly." Since Lao Guo has already arranged the punishment, it's okay. ”

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, and entered the door hand in hand.

At this time, Xiaohuzi ran out with a chessboard and asked with a smile: "Dad, are we still playing chess?" Uncle Liu's chess skills were too bad, and he walked too slowly, so I waited and waited, and let him get better, otherwise he might have to go down to twelve o'clock. ”

Gu Qi smiled dumbly: "Okay, I'll accompany you to the next game." ”

Chen Xingling greeted: "Let's all go upstairs, I'm going to close the door and turn off the lights downstairs." ”

Xiaohuzi ran forward and smiled proudly: "My IQ is over one hundred and fifty, and I am a genius!" Dad, you won't be able to get rid of me in the future! ”

Gu Qi paused when he heard this, frowned and shouted, "Wait! ”

The little guy stopped the little foot, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Qi asked suspiciously, "Who told you that you are a genius?" IQ over one hundred and fifty? Says who? ”

"That's right!" Xiaohuzi nodded seriously and explained: "It was the doctor uncle who wiped my wound in the hospital last time who asked the school to help me test it." He was so happy that he told me that there could be at least one hundred and fifty, and that anyone who was more than one hundred and forty could be considered a genius. I'm over it, so I'm a genius! ”

Gu Qi frowned when he heard this.

Chen Xingling, who had just turned off the lights and walked over, was angry when he heard it, and asked, "Then the doctor is still looking for Shuiyue Primary School?" So unrelenting! ”

"Uh-huh." Xiaohuzi replied: "He said that he remembered that I was a third-grade student at Shuiyue Elementary School, and he specially asked his teacher for important materials, and then took him to Shuiyue Elementary School to find me to test my IQ." ”

The first time she was a mother cared about her child, Chen Xingling reacted, and pounced on her son and rubbed her son all over his body.

"What did he tell you to do? Didn't hurt you, did it? Didn't get something on your head, did you? ”

Xiaohuzi shook his head: "No, he just made a lot of questions and patterns for me to see, and then asked me to answer." Some of the questions were interesting, and some of the complex and multi-dimensional graphs made me count them. I didn't want to, but then I thought it was quite fun, so I listened to him. At first, he said to give me maltose to eat, so I wouldn't talk to him. The book says that there is nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief! ”

Chen Xingling was still not very relieved, and asked nervously: "That's all?" Gone? Didn't get any blood draws, a tool to measure cranial nerves? You don't feel bad, do you? Will it hurt? Will it be uncomfortable? ”

"Nope." Xiaohuzi shook his head: "I can only look at the drawings and write and draw, and then it will be gone." ”

Gu Qi frowned and asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"Afternoon." Xiaohuzi replied.

Gu Qi taught with a calm face: "Why didn't you tell me directly when you went to the office after school?" ”

"I ...... I forgot. Xiaohuzi grinned and laughed, and whispered: "Senior Brother Wang Qin made me a small waterwheel, I thought it was so interesting, and then I forgot about it." ”

Chen Xingling couldn't help but scold: "It's all unexpected!" Then why is the doctor so annoying! No one can understand the words! Running to school to without parental consent - how can the teacher agree? ”

"Most of them think it's a good thing." Gu Qi guessed: "So I didn't stop it." In addition, the doctor looks like a human and is a legitimate professional, so the teachers must think that he is not in danger. ”

Chen Xingling saw that his son was not harmed, and the anger in his heart gradually disappeared.

"Son, when you meet strangers in the future, you don't believe anything you say to be good to you, test you or something, etc., you must get rid of them, and hurry home to find your parents."
