In the huge living room, a group of sofas and coffee tables are placed in one-third of the position, unlike the sofas in this year, which are placed on the side, but like the style of villas in later generations, leaving a circle of aisles behind the main sofa.

On the west side against the wall is a group of tea tables, separated by four bonsai stools between the sofa and the tea table, which can slightly block the view and divide the living room into two spaces, one large and one small.

In the sofa area, Chen Fan sat on the long sofa and had a good conversation with Master Wang.

The others also sat down separately, and if there was not enough space, they moved to the cabinet stools placed by the wall, and they all drank tea and chatted around the coffee table.

Master Wang said to Chen Fan, "After the rainy day, it is about to enter summer, which is a good time to build a house." You can start plastering the façade as well. Wait two more days, and they'll come and do the work. ”

Chen Fan immediately nodded, "Okay, I'll prepare first." ”

What to prepare? Food, of course!

Everything else, just food.

Master Wang stood up suddenly, walked to the window in front of him, pointed to the location of the kitchen and said, "You are going to make a kitchen and dining room here, and then extend the wind and rain corridor over?" ”

Chen Fan also walked over, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Master Wang gestured twice, "This place is still relatively large, almost 6 or 70 square meters, if you only build a kitchen and a restaurant, it will be a bit wasteful." ”

Chen Fan's expression moved slightly, looked at him and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Master Wang, "You can do this, the kitchen and dining room will not move, but the location will be reduced a little, and there will be more than ten square meters, and another bathroom can be built." Or if you don't move, you can add another hut next to it, next to the wall of the panda park. ”

Chen Fan's eyes rolled twice, and the corners of his mouth opened to both sides, "Eh, that's a good idea." ”

Then he stretched out his thumb to Master Wang, and said with a smile, "It's worthy of being a master, the finishing touch." ”

Shrink the dining room and kitchen a little and build an extra bathroom to make it easier to take a bath in winter.

Master Wang smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I also saw that you want to make a pankang, so I thought of why not build a bathroom like the one in the north." When you go back to build the stove, build an extra stove on the bathroom side, specially boil hot water, and then get a large bath, the bath can be connected to the stove, and it will be comfortable to take a bath in winter.

And we will soon install tap water, when the tap water is installed, and a drain hole will be built under the bath, so that we don't have to lift water, which is very convenient. ”

Chen Fan nodded again and again, "Yes, this can be." ”

……

After another two days, it did not rain, but the sun hung up, and this year's rainy season officially ended.

The masters of the construction team came to the door again, and together with the grass platform team of the toilet construction team of the 6th team, they finished the remaining works of this house.

It was only at this time that Chen Fan's new house was completely completed.

Jiang Lili held a pile of fabrics, pushed open the back door of the Zhiqing Academy, and walked towards the new house on the top of the slope.

On this small soil slope, there is a 1 meter 5 wide cobblestone path, the path uses the extra fermented soil as a binder, mixed pebbles as a foundation, and then plasters a layer of cement concrete on the surface, but does not cover all the pebbles, and leaves a few millimeters of height to protrude to increase friction.

As long as this path is not weighed down by large equipment, it should be able to use for many years.

There are also two rows of one-metre-high railings along the path.

Jiang Lili still remembers that when Captain Yang asked Chen Fan why he still had to install a handrail, was he afraid that he would not be able to climb this slope?

Chen Fan asked him directly, "If it snows heavily and freezes into ice, how can you climb?" ”

Everyone was stunned, looked up at this slope, and imagined the picture of snow.

If you don't have a handrail, you may not be able to climb up even if you climb!

So at that time, more than a dozen bamboos were cut down and made into two handrails.

In the open space on both sides of the railing, more than a dozen fruit trees are scattered and planted.

These fruit trees are not easy to come by, this season there are no saplings to buy in the sales department of the agricultural materials company, Chen Fan can only ride around the Maman Commune, see the fruit trees and ask people if they sell them, relying on the face of "Teacher Chen", so they found it back.

There are peach trees, plum trees, green plums, jujube trees, apricots, ...... and so on.

In addition, in the woods to the east, there are some fruit trees such as oranges, grapefruits, apples, and pears that were grafted before, and it is unknown how many of them survived.

Underneath these fruit trees, the reddish-brown dirt is covered by a layer of turf.

Needless to say, it was also Chen Fan's idea.

After laying the turf, it doesn't look like a newly built house at all, and the atmosphere of life is much higher, anyway, Jiang Lili likes it very much.

Follow the path to the top of the slope, on the left hand side is the panda garden covering an area of more than 120 square meters, including 20 square meters of houses, more than 100 square meters of yards, three sides are brick walls, only the side facing the small building is installed with a row of wooden railings, which is convenient for pandas to see the world.

Originally, it was the easiest to use bamboo as a railing, but Chen Fan was afraid that the bamboo would be gnawed by rolling, so he cut down several miscellaneous trees to make up the pillars of the railing.

Jiang Lili reached in from the gap between the railings, touched the rolling head, slapped it twice, narrowed her eyes in amusement, and then waved at the two puppies who had to come over and squeeze her, teasing for a while before continuing to walk forward.

The reason why the dogs like this place is very simple, because there are "toys" in the yard of the panda park, Chen Fan made a few wooden shelves out of miscellaneous wood for rolling sports and entertainment, but he didn't expect the dogs to also take a fancy to it, so he squeezed over to join in the fun.

Adjacent to the panda garden is the "annex" with a coated exterior wall of fermented earth, and after the black fermented soil has dried up, it has returned to the yellowish-brown color of the soil itself, making it look like an earthen walled house.

From the outside to the inside, there are bathrooms, kitchens, and dining rooms.

Seeing the bathroom, Jiang Lili couldn't help but look forward to it, there was a small bath half a meter deep, one meter wide and two meters long, and the surface of the bath was covered with broken pottery pieces of various colors, which must be very comfortable to bathe in winter.

The roof of the annex building is connected to the wind and rain corridor, which extends to the main building.

The field in front of the main building is also mixed with fermented soil mixed with lime, sand, gravel and cement and then paved, no matter how heavy the rain is, you will not step on the soil.

Stepping on the hard concrete floor, stepping on the steps of the wind and rain corridor, entering through the main door, turning left into the living room.

Jiang Lili put the cloth she was holding in her arms on the coffee table and looked left and right, but she didn't find Chen Fan's person.

There is no tea table behind the bonsai stand.

She muttered for two seconds, then turned and walked out of the living room and up the stairs to the second floor.

When I got to the second floor, I turned right, and in the study on the west side, I found Chen Fan who was reading.

There are 18 bookshelves with a height of 1.2 and a width of 1 meter, 6 in a row, a total of 3 rows.

Below the bookshelves are cabinets, and above are shelves for books, on the left and right sides.

Most of the shelves are stocked with books, but there are more than a thousand books, and the shelves have not yet been filled.

At this time, Chen Fan was standing in front of a bookcase, lying on the top of the bookcase, flipping through an English book.

This book is one of the four camphor wood chests.

In those boxes, there are two boxes of ancient books, and two boxes of modern books of all kinds, both domestic and foreign, and now Chen Fan is asked to turn them out, put them on the shelves of the bookcase, and wait for a few days to be free, and then take them out to the sun.

Anyway, the second floor is not open to the public, except for Jiang Lili, the four of them will come up to clean, and there is no one else, and there is no need to worry about someone breaking the book.

Chen Fan heard the movement, but did not raise his head, his eyes were still fixed on the book, and said softly, "They all went to work?" ”

Jiang Lili nodded, approached and said, "Today, the team will harvest forage collectively, and when the double robbery starts in a few days, there will not be so much time to prepare feed for the livestock." ”

After a pause, he said, "I've taken all the cloth you want and put it in the living room below." ”

Zhiqing Point does not raise too many chickens, ducks and geese, only more than 20 chickens in the front yard, and then the rabbits in the rabbit house in the backyard. Since the feed is all provided by the 6 teams, and then converted into rabbit money and deducted, Chen Fan does not need to worry about these things.

And Jiang Lili happened to be her turn to cook "on duty" today, so Chen Fan caught the strong man and helped him bring the fabric.

Chen Fan closed the book, put the book back on the shelf, turned to Jiang Lili and smiled, "How's the math, physics and chemistry going?" ”

At the same time, he walked outside.

Jiang Lili followed a step behind him and said with a smile, "It's okay, you can do everything you talked about, and I have learned a little more." ”

Chen Fan nodded and glanced back at her, "After the expansion of Lujiawan Village Elementary School, although we will continue to teach the content in the textbooks, the purpose of our school is not to go on to higher education, but to allow more people to learn the professional textbooks I brought back."

If you want to learn those textbooks, mathematics, physics and chemistry are the most basic foundations, of course, if it is a liberal arts, history, geography and politics are also very important.

If you can master this knowledge as soon as possible, and wait for the start of junior high school in two years, I can recommend you to become a junior high school teacher, so that you don't have to work in the fields every day. ”

Recommending her to be a teacher at Lujiawan School is of course not Chen Fan's real purpose, but he can't just say that she should prepare for the college entrance examination!

However, this expanding village is small, which can be used as the best excuse.

Jiang Lili pursed her lips and smiled, nodded vigorously and said, "I will definitely work hard." ”

She didn't say thank you, because she felt that she owed too much, and she couldn't say anything if she thanked her, so she simply didn't say it, and waited for her actions to repay it later.

Chen Fan looked back at her and smiled, walked down the stairs quickly, and turned into the living room.

He didn't go to get the cloth at first, but walked to a low cabinet in the corner, pulled out a disc from the cabinet below, put it in the gramophone on the counter, then gently shook the handle, and then put the magnetic head on the vinyl disc, and immediately a melodious song came from the loudspeaker.

"The clouds float in the sea and the sky, the fish hide in the water, the morning sun dries the nets, and the sea breeze blows in the face,......"

Hearing the singing, Jiang Lili's eyes couldn't take her eyes off, her eyes were full of reminiscence, "When I was very young, there was a gramophone like this one at home, at that time, my parents came home from work, and they always liked to play a piece of music, my father rested in the living room, my mother was busy cooking in the kitchen, and my sister and I were lying next to the gramophone and listening to the song, I remember, this song was the most I heard."

Later, when I was four or five years old, my father suddenly put away the gramophone and discs, and I never heard the gramophone again, and then my sister often sang to me and taught me to sing. It wasn't until something happened to my dad that a group of people came to the house to kick us out, and the gramophone was smashed. ”

Chen Fan sat on the arm of the sofa, and after a short silence, he smiled at her, "This disc is your home." ”

Jiang Lili raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of surprise, "Huh? ”

Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders and smiled at her, "I picked up this gramophone from the scrap company, and asked someone if there was a record of this kind of gramophone, and I also asked your sister, and after she heard it, she went home and took more than 20 discs to me, saying that there was no gramophone at home, and I couldn't listen to it, so I brought it to you."

However, there was no suitable place to put it before, and the occasion was not suitable. It just so happens that now the house is done, and now there is no one else to ,......"

Speaking of this, he spread his hands, looked at Jiang Lili and smiled, "How is it, do you like this surprise?" ”

Jiang Lili covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes turned red in an instant, then she took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "I like it." ”
