Chapter 830 4 Entering the House
They have been away for a few months, and the houses in Cangshan Village have changed a lot. On the basis of the original small courtyard, two rows of houses were added in the back and one row in the front, and corridors were added on the left and right. Although it does not look like a courtyard with four entrances, it is indeed a courtyard with four entrances.
Zhou Guo looked at the house as he walked in and out, and asked in surprise, "Mom, when did you build this? Why didn't you tell me?"
Li smiled and said, "You have always said that the house is not big enough and there is no place to entertain guests. You need to renovate the house. I asked someone to renovate this house while you were away. If the fifth entrance was not too eye-catching, I would have wanted to build a fifth entrance."
The fifth courtyard is really big and occupies a large area. Anyway, there are not many people in my family, so the fourth courtyard is enough.
At worst, we can add on later, or build another house next to it.
Zhou Guo ran in and out of the house with a smile on his face, looking at every room and saying, "There are so many rooms, why are they all empty?"
Li said, "Although we have built so many new houses, they are unwilling to move and still want to live in their own houses. Besides, we don't have that many things at home, and there are not many people coming here on weekdays, so it doesn't matter if we don't put things in them."
There isn't even a table.
Zhou Guo said, "Second brother, third brother, Xiao Sulaizi and the others all live together. Don't they want to separate?"
We've gotten older and have acquired more stuff in the past two years. Don't you feel crowded living in the same room?
Li said, "Who knows about them? They are used to living here and don't want to move."
Zhou Guo asked the old man, "Master, do you have a house you want to live in?"
The old man shook his head. "Forget it. I didn't bother with that. My previous house was pretty good and close to the kitchen."
No one wanted to move, even Zhou Guo was not very willing.
Mainly because she has too much stuff.
However, she could move the study to the front yard. She had a lot of work to do now and had to meet more and more people every day, so it would not be appropriate to move the study to the back yard.
The next day after she came back, she started looking for someone to tidy up the study.
She placed a chaise longue under the window.
Bookshelf, table, chairs and bed.
The old man looked at the chaise longue and pointed at the Luohan bed. "You already have that thing, why do you want this thing?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "These two things are different. When I'm tired, I just want to take a nap on the chaise longue. It's so comfortable. As for the Luohan bed, it's suitable for use in summer. It's best to eat on it."
The old man was a little tempted, "How about you also set up a study room for me?"
Then he waved his hand and said, "Forget it."
Pointing to the chaise longue, he said, "Put one for me in my room, too, under the window."
Zhou Guo agreed with a smile, "You can come to my study anytime. You can sit or sleep on this couch as you like."
This study was her own room anyway, so she could decorate it however she wanted and put whatever she wanted in it. She even wanted to build a warm room, but it was too troublesome to split up a warm room, and she would have to redo the floor, so she just used the kang.
She also moved the two orchids on the windowsill, one pot on the small table in front of the window and one pot on the desk.
One pot has lush green plants, another has slender and graceful plants, and each pot looks good.
When all her books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone were moved in and laid out, this study room looked really nice.
Zhou Mai and the others were jealous.
Zhou Su said: "Sister, I also want a study room."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Then you can decorate it yourself. There isn't much else at home now, but there are a lot of rooms. A study room is enough for each of us. You can choose whatever you want."
Zhou Su went there by himself.
When Zhou Mai and others saw this, they also went.
A steady stream of furniture was brought back, and the villagers had never seen it before.
Seeing that the furniture in the car was new and beautiful, he couldn't help but go to Li's house and ask, "Mother Guoguo, your family has just expanded the house, and these tables, chairs and benches have also been added, but I don't understand what these are. What are they used for?"
Everyone touched and looked at it, "It looks nice. My new house is almost finished, and I want to buy some new things."
In recent years, the village has become richer and richer, and all the houses in the village have been replaced one after another. Some of the houses that were built later are better built than Zhou Guo's small courtyard.
Some families with many people even build a two-story house.
Li dared to build this house with four courtyards only because she saw that everyone in the village was doing well. She was also generous in buying new furniture without causing jealousy from others, and her house was not much worse than before.
Li smiled and said, "These are for the children to use. They have grown up in the past two years and want to have their own rooms and study rooms. The things we had before were not enough, so we had to add more."
Pointing at the things on the floor, he introduced them to everyone, "This is what Guoguo asked me to buy. They said it was a Luohan bed, but I think it's unnecessary. It's better to sit on the Kang, which is more spacious. This is the Taishi chair, and this is a couch. You can take a nap on it."
"Oh my god, do I have to buy a couch for a nap? If you're tired, just sleep on the kang. There's plenty of other places to sleep at home. Why do I have to sleep on a couch? And this couch is so small that I can't even turn over. If I turn over, I'll fall off. What's the point?"
Everyone nodded.
Don't mention it, Li really thought so, but she couldn't say anything bad about her daughter in front of so many people, so she said, "I already said it was a nap. How long can a nap last? She's too lazy to even take off her clothes. She's reading in the study and she's tired, so I can use it."
"Oh, that's true. There is definitely no bed in the study. It's just too small. If you turn over, you end up on the floor. How can that be comfortable?"
After Zhou's house was built, people from the village also came to see it.
The main reason was that they had never lived in such a big house before, with four entrances and even living quarters for servants, which they found strange.
When I came there, there was nothing inside, but now every room is filled with furniture.
There are everything from bookshelves to desks to vases.
A group of people were jealous when watching it, it was so beautiful!
It's a pity that their family doesn't have a decent scholar and can't afford to send him any books. With just a few books, there's no need to set up a separate study room.
The study room was still being decorated. There were only furniture inside. Someone suggested going to Zhou Guo's study room to take a look. "That kid had several rows of books in his room a few years ago. I'm afraid there are even more now. Guoguo's mother, shall we go in and take a look?"
Li was in a dilemma and said, "I'm sorry, I can't make the decision on this. You know she uses everything in her room, and there are so many account books and letters. No one in our family has permission, and no one dares to enter her study. If you want to see, look at these. Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi's study rooms are also next to it."
Can ordinary people enter the study room casually?
The man who was speaking was a little embarrassed and felt uncomfortable. He just wanted to take a look. He spoke as if they were going to steal something. The Zhou family was rich now and looked down on them.
