In the latter half of 1999, Jiang Village was confirmed for demolition. However, in the first half of the year, An Jianping's family did two major things: First, they sold two plots of resident...
Chapter 144 Home Renovation
That would naturally be the port city!
So, An Songxiang took on her sister's new task.
However, as she flipped through the magazines An Songyu had brought back, she asked, "Sister, why did you suddenly buy so many... magazines about interior design and furniture?"
As she spoke, she carefully flipped through each of the magazines.
The names may be slightly different.
But the content is either about interior decoration or about lighting fixtures and furniture.
And the color scheme too!
In short, it doesn't look like the kind of book her sister would normally read.
"Ah... this!" An Songyu said with a smile after hanging her bag on the wall, "Maybe I also want to try and see if I can renovate our house!"
"What?" An Songxiang turned to look at her sister with a hint of disbelief.
He even unconsciously picked at his ear.
She thought she might have misheard her sister's words.
An Songyu was amused by her sister's reaction.
But he still repeated what he had just said in a crisp and decisive manner.
Now, An Songxiang couldn't even convince herself that she had misheard.
She looked at An Songyu with a troubled expression for a long time before finally managing to persuade her, "Sister, even if we are really rich now..."
"Is it too late for you to change careers now?"
"Change careers? Who said I was going to change careers?" An Songyu suddenly realized what An Songxiang meant.
She felt that she had been so busy lately that it was as if she had overlooked something.
Looking back now, wasn't it just that I forgot to go to the husband's family of Jiang's aunt to conduct an on-site investigation?
But thinking about her recent schedule, it seems... she still can't find the time!
Thinking about it this way, An Songyu had an even bigger headache.
But seeing her like this, An Songxiang had a misunderstanding.
So she patted An Songyu on the shoulder with a hint of sympathy:
"Sister, you don't need to be so hard on yourself."
"As for the designer... it's okay if we can't find one for the time being."
"Thinking about it carefully, besides the house we're planning to live in..."
"If the other houses are just for rent."
"There's really no need to pay too much attention to the renovation."
"With my uncle's current experience and abilities, it's not a problem at all for him to do it!"
An Songyu looked at her younger sister helplessly.
If their goal was merely their own rental properties, that would be one thing.
But nowadays, there's clearly meat that's practically delivered to our mouths.
Can they just watch and not eat?
All right!
It seems they don't even have the ability to eat yet.
But we can do nothing and just let them accept their fate!
Whether it was An Jianmin and his group or An Songyu, they were all unhappy from the bottom of their hearts.
So, let's keep trying!
Maybe there's hope for salvation!
Seeing the determination in her sister's eyes, An Songxiang remained silent.
If we were to ask who among the three siblings is the most stubborn, it would be...
That's probably her sister, who seems like she's easy to talk to!
That evening, not only An Songxiang knew that An Songyu was preparing to do the interior design herself.
Even her family knows about it.
I heard that she even dragged Jian Ziyu into it, which really gave Bi Lizhu a headache.
It's hard to know if Ah Yu met her daughter because of a debt she owed in a past life!
However, compared to Bi Lizhu's advantages.
The rest of the family, on the other hand, felt fine.
Even An Jianping, who was usually quite silent about the two of them, showed a rare degree of appreciation.
Of course, this appreciation was only temporary.
Whether this can be sustained depends on the combined efforts of An Songyu and his partner.
If you give up halfway through...
Forget about appreciating it, it's already good enough if they don't openly express their dislike.
An Songlin also showed a degree of indulgence, as if he would support An Songyu in whatever he wanted to try.
I just watched the couple look at each other and smile, their emotions running through their eyes.
An Songxiang suddenly felt that something was off about the taste of the meal!
After dinner, An Jianping walked around the house again and again.
No matter how I look at it, my house, which was originally not bad, seems really too small.
He couldn't even afford to buy a computer to support his daughter.
When Bi Lizhu heard her husband say this that evening, she didn't care about being unseemly and rolled her eyes at the sky: "Buying a computer is no problem."
"But the problem is... can I just use the computer as soon as I buy it?"
An Jianping, who was overwhelmed with love for his daughter, also realized what was happening.
He let out a long sigh and finally gave up on the idea of finding a suitable spot at home.
Hearing the frustration in her husband's sigh, Bi Lizhu couldn't help but roll her eyes again.
Occasionally, she genuinely felt that way.
Without her at the helm, their family would truly fall apart.
Fortunately, her son looks more like her!
An Songyu wasn't bothered by this.
She had already discussed this issue with her uncles yesterday afternoon.
So the next morning, when she arrived at their newly rented office...
All of my uncles and aunts were busy at work.
Even Yuan Qionghua and Jiang Shanshan were cleaning together.
After renting the office, the group also purchased some simple office supplies to make it look more presentable.
In the last couple of days, An Jianguo and his friends even brought over a coffee table and other furniture.
But when it comes to big-ticket items like computers, and things like running internet cables, they never even considered it.
When An Songyu arrived, she was quite surprised to see that there were already computers.
But the network cable won't be completed in a short time.
She didn't mind and took out the magazine she had brought to the office.
Then I showed everyone the page I had folded out last night: "I'm planning to renovate a 60-square-meter apartment in this style, what do you think?"
The magazine was passed from hand to hand among the group.
Everyone looked at it carefully again and again.
After looking at it, An Jianmin pondered, "It seems to be very similar in style to one of the houses in the Happiness Garden area."
An Songyu nodded in agreement: "I just think that style of theirs is very suitable for small apartments."
"The renovation will not reduce the area."
"It's practical, simple and beautiful, and most importantly, easy to clean!" Yuan Qionghua also offered her opinion from her own perspective:
"So, do I have to hang these clothes to dry at home?"
She pointed to the balcony: "Won't the water flow downstairs?"
Regarding this issue, An Songyu quickly explained, "This is indeed a problem; we need to pay more attention to waterproofing during the renovation."
Hearing the overly technical term "An Songyu"...
Not to mention Yuan Qionghua and the other two, even An Jian'an took quite a while to react.
However, it was An Jianmin and An Jianguo.
In the past two years, many people have built new houses in Jiangcun, and as a result, many problems have arisen in this regard.
Naturally, I've come to understand it to some extent as well.
"Besides that, more and more people are using washing machines now," An Songyu added.
“That’s true!” Yuan Qionghua nodded in agreement.
In the past, very few people in Jiangcun used washing machines.
It was after the farmhouses opened and guests started staying overnight.
Not only do we have to clean the guest rooms every day, but we also don't have a big enough place for them to wash.
As a result, washing machines gradually became common in Jiangcun.
But when it comes to getting clothes clean, people still trust hand washing more.
