Chapter 39: The Life of the Immortals (Seeking Reading)
"Shujie, I'm here in your new house, where are you?" Cao Tiemin didn't find Cao Shujie, so he took out his mobile phone and called him.
Knowing that Fa Xiao had arrived, Cao Shujie said to him: "Don't move there, I'll go over to find you." β
Not long after, Cao Shujie hugged his daughter Mengmeng and came down from the mountain with his wife.
After seeing Cao Tiemin, Cao Shujie also shouted: "I just took them up, and you came over on the back foot, is it speeding on the road." β
"Speeding, your grandma's legs." Cao Tiemin subconsciously wanted to give him a punch.
But seeing Cao Shujie holding his daughter, he forcibly retracted his fists, in case they made a fuss and accidentally hit the child, it would not be good.
"Mengmeng, call uncle." Cao Shujie taught his daughter.
Meng Meng looked at Cao Tiemin for a while, and then opened her mouth with a smile: "Uncle, okay!" β
"Hey!" Cao Tiemin responded, muttering: "I was in a hurry to come out, and I didn't bring any gifts to Mengmeng." β
As he spoke, he took out a 100 sheet from his trouser pocket: "Oh, take it and buy something for the child." β
Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin hurriedly refused, this time even Mengmeng didn't want it.
"Shujie, look at you bear-like, why can't I give my niece some money, it's not happy." Cao Tiemin said crookedly.
Cao Shujie smiled: "Tiemin, let's go, go in and have a look, and help me decorate the house beautifully." β
"How beautiful do you want to decorate? How much is the budget? Cao Tiemin said to him: "This thing is going up and down." β
"I know, why don't you decorate me?" Cao Shujie said and entered through the gate.
His wife followed.
Cao Tiemin and the two people he brought also followed.
A large courtyard, a two-story building, with a house on the east side, and a small second floor on the north side, which is used as a kitchen.
Cao Shujie also plans to put a small boiler for heating here.
The staircase is on the left side of the hallway, and it has been fitted with guardrails.
The bathroom is on the south side and is a separate room.
The most important thing is that there is also a row of low houses on the side of the western wall, divided into several rooms.
Cao Tiemin wondered: "Shujie, this is not a resident, right?" β
"Kennel, I'm going to get a few more dogs in the future, don't you have to do it?" Cao Shujie liked it very much when he saw this.
As soon as Meng Meng heard the word 'dog', she shouted: "Beautiful." β
"Yes, yes, let Uncle Tiemin decorate the kennel beautifully."
Cao Tiemin didn't bother to take care of him, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and asked, "Shujie, you can really do this place, how much did it cost?" β
Seriously, he also wants to get such a set in his hometown, and it is comfortable to live in.
But the problem is that he doesn't have so much money, and he has to think about the children's future schooling and their family's livelihood, this kind of thing is far from being as simple as it seems, and he is not as big-hearted as he is Cao Shujie.
Cao Shujie stretched out two fingers: "It's a bit over budget, but it's okay, and it's not like it's going to be demolished in ten or eight years." β
"That's right."
Cao Tiemin entered the house, looked at the layout inside, and discussed with Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin from time to time which place should be put what things, which place should be designed better, and it looks more layered and three-dimensional.
In this regard, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin don't understand much, they just say their requirements.
When going up the stairs, Cao Tiemin held on to the iron railing and muttered: "I will give you a layer of veneer on the outside when the time comes, and it will look beautiful." β
"Okay, you can do this." Cao Shujie wants to open it, some things must be out of budget, it doesn't matter if you spend too much, you can earn it back sooner or later.
There is also a living room in the middle of the second floor, there are four houses on each side of the east and west, Cao Tiemin entered the master bedroom, and suddenly sighed: "Shujie, your grandmother is too good at enjoying her legs, and she also added a small room for bathing in the bedroom." β
"Isn't it convenient to build this house, you don't have to go out now, you can sleep after taking a bath, how comfortable." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Tiemin thought so deeply and nodded: "200,000 is fine!" β
He was now more than just envious.
"Shujie, to be precise, can you really make money at home?" Cao Tiemin hesitated and asked him.
Cao Shujie smiled: "This thing mainly depends on whether it is suitable or not, and the mentality also has a great impact, I can see it now, can I survive, can you?" β
When Cao Tiemin heard him say this, he immediately gave up the immature idea in his mind: "Forget it, I'm still doing my renovation outside." β
The ruler is short, the inch is long, the material is insufficient, and the wisdom is unknown.
People are like this, there are always places where they are lacking.
Cao Tiemin couldn't stand the lonely feeling of waiting for the orchard.
After watching the circle, Cao Tiemin also asked the two of them what else they wanted.
"Wife, look at what else you have to add." Cao Shujie didn't care, he said to his wife Cheng Xiaolin.
Cheng Xiaolin thought seriously for a while, and only then made a few requests, and Cao Tiemin wrote them down one by one.
In the end, Cheng Xiaolin said with a smile: "That's all." β
"Okay, the house will be dried for two or three months, and I will take advantage of this time to get a design drawing for you, and if it is confirmed, I will start preparing materials, and when it comes to July and August, I will come over to start construction." Cao Tiemin said.
Cheng Xiaolin was a little surprised: "It will take so long?" β
She's still thinking about moving in soon!
Cao Shujie knew something, he put his hand on the wall, and said, "The house has just been built, it's too wet, and it has to be dried." β
"Shujie is right, at this time, the decoration is in vain, and the walls are bulging, cracking, falling off, and moldy, which is not a small problem, and the house is not a matter of one or two days, be patient and wait." Cao Tiemin said.
Cheng Xiaolin was a little embarrassed, but Cao Shujie didn't care.
After reading it, they came out together, Cao Tiemin glanced at the mountain, and became interested: "Shujie, what did you do up there, I'll go up and take a look?" β
"What's the secrecy here, go." Cao Shujie hugged his daughter and took him up again.
Cheng Xiaolin watched her husband hugging Mengmeng all the way, and was afraid that he would be tired: "Shujie, you give me Mengmeng." β
But what she didn't expect was that Mengmeng didn't look for her, hugged her father's neck with her backhand, and hugged her hands to death: "I want my father to hug me." β
"Hey, you're not happy to be fine." Cheng Xiaolin smiled, but it wasn't that she didn't want to share it for her husband.
She also teased: "Mengmeng, why do you love your father so much." β
"I like Dad!" Meng Meng said vaguely, she still doesn't know that 'people's hearts are sinister, and there are clichΓ©s in their words'.
When Cao Tiemin heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Two or three-year-olds are at their most likable.
When he came to the orchard on the mountain, Cao Tiemin saw at first glance more than 30 people weeding and leveling the ground in the mountain field, Cao Zhenggang and them digging a pit, and Han Dingping and them who were drilling holes and wells a little farther away.
At that moment, Cao Tiemin suddenly realized that compared with Fa Xiao Cao Shujie, he was really not half a star.
"You're going to put down roots here for the rest of your life, huh?" Cao Tiemin subconsciously asked.
"Hmm!" Cao Shujie smiled: "Isn't this good, I can accompany my wife and children every day, as well as my parents, and wait until next year to pick up my grandfather from my uncle's house." β
He pointed to this large orchard again: "I have contracted for 30 years, except for the investment expenses of the first few years, I have cleaned up more than 80 acres of orchards, and I am lying down to make money, is it perfect?" β
"Draft, fairy days!" Cao Tiemin scolded directly.
