The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 307 The Landlord in the Variety Show (5)

Su Jiuxin patted his shoulder and said, "What a mess. This is my cousin. These things are from her old house, which is being renovated now! She doesn't want to change the furniture, so she wants to repair the old things."

"Is it the one at the entrance of the village?" Carpenter Liu pointed outside the door and said in surprise, "Is there anyone else in that family? These are their things! I thought so!"

Su Xiangran smiled and said to Carpenter Liu: "Uncle Liu, I really have to trouble you this time."

"It's hard to say." Carpenter Liu frowned and said, "I'm a little old, and my hands are shaking. I don't do much delicate work, but don't worry, my son can do it. I'll bring him over tomorrow to have a look, and then he'll give you an estimate."

Su Jiuxin immediately followed up with a sentence: "Your son's craftsmanship is not bad, but the price is usually high, so you have to help negotiate when the time comes."

Carpenter Liu nodded and left Su Jiuxin's house.

Su Xiangran had dinner with Su Jiuxin's family. Since she would be staying here for about another month, she took the initiative to pay for the food.

Su Jiuxin's wife wanted to take it, but Su Jiuxin and Su Hong disagreed. In the end, Su Xiangran suggested that if they didn't accept it, she would have to move to another place, so they took her money.

The villagers are still simple and honest.

The next day, Carpenter Liu came with his son, and Su Jiuxin did not let Su Xiangran show up.

He was afraid that if Carpenter Liu's son saw Su Xiangran, he would recognize at a glance that she was from the city and take the opportunity to ask for a high price.

Carpenter Liu certainly knew his son's temper, and also understood Su Jiuxin's painstaking efforts, so he did not point it out to him in person.

His son Liu Yu offered a package price of 8,000 yuan, but Su Jiuxin finally bargained it down to 6,000 yuan.

To be honest, this is not a lot of work, but it is a delicate job, and it also requires some good materials for repairs, so the price of six thousand is not very high.

The two parties agreed that Liu Yu would come over to repair the furniture after the house was completely repaired.

When the time comes, we will just repair things in the Su family's old house, put each item back in its place after it is repaired, and try not to move these things.

Around the twentieth day after returning to Sujia Village, the house was finally completely renovated. Looking at the quaint courtyard-style house, Su Xiangran felt somewhat emotional.

No wonder the original owner kept looking for that variety show crew in his previous life. Compared with the simple home-style house built on that show, this one is more to his liking.

Pushing open the quaint door, Su Xiangran was slightly surprised by the layout of the house. It looked somewhat like the courtyard house where she had lived before.

The renovated old house of the Su family is surrounded by houses on four sides, with an open-air courtyard in the center and a well in the courtyard.

As Su Xiangran had requested before, the original climbing rack for plants in the yard was retained. She heard from Su Jiuxin that wisteria was originally planted here, and she planned to continue planting wisteria.

Thinking about the hot summer days, she lay on a lounge chair or sat under the wisteria trellis to enjoy the cool, how comfortable that would be.

The renovated house still uses the brick and wood structure of the old house. The roof is still covered with green tiles and the walls are still made of bricks.

The yard is paved with blue bricks, which were found by the construction team in a corner of the old house. Of course, due to limited quantity, they added some more bricks.

This resulted in slightly different shades of color, but these workers were also very good. They took advantage of the color contrast and arranged the bricks when laying them, so that the blue bricks on the ground formed some simple patterns.

The courtyard of the old house is surrounded by a circle of corridors, which connect various rooms. Even on rainy days, people can enter each room without getting wet.

The rooms in a courtyard house are generally allocated according to seniority and function.

If Grandma Su was still alive, she should naturally live in the main house, while Su Xiangran would live in the side room.

But at present, Su Xiangran is the only one in this house, so the main room is her room.

The renovated house is inevitably a bit empty because there is no furniture, but it doesn’t matter. Carpenter Liu and his son Liu Yu will come over to repair the furniture tomorrow. After the furniture is repaired, Su Xiangran wants to add some more according to the layout.

By then, this job will still be decided with Carpenter Liu.

A house like this should be equipped with wooden furniture, so putting the old furniture back in place is a good idea.

Good fortune comes to her, and Su Xiangran thought back to the time when she was "Dr. Su". She decided to ask Carpenter Liu to make her a wooden plaque with the words "Peace of Mind" on it. It didn't have to be too big, but could be hung outside the door.

"How is it? Is Miss Su satisfied?" Bao Gongtou looked at Su Xiangran. He knew she was satisfied because she was visiting every room with a smile.

"Although our village has electricity, it doesn't have natural gas," the contractor reminded. "I've had someone build you an earthen stove in the kitchen, but I've also left you a gas stove that can use a gas cylinder. It depends on your preference."

"I am very satisfied." Su Xiangran thanked him.

"I haven't finished yet! This shower area is connected to a solar water heater." The contractor continued proudly, "It can use electricity as well as solar energy! And the wiring in this house has been rearranged, so it will definitely be enough, don't worry.

Oh! By the way, I have also installed the air conditioner you requested, and I have ordered a hand-operated device for the well outside the house, and someone will come to install it in a few days."

"You've thought it through very carefully." Su Xiangran was really satisfied.

She thought the original owner should be satisfied, as being able to keep the old house and restore her grandmother's old furniture was a regret in her previous life.

Su Xiangran checked the bill with the contractor, agreed on a time to pay, and then the contractor left.

In fact, Su Xiangran could have paid off the money in one go today, but before coming to take possession of the house, Su Jiuxin reminded her: Don't show off your wealth, and even if you have money, don't take it out all at once.
