Originally, seeing the small yard, the four people were not very satisfied with the house. What kind of house did Xiao Si buy? It looks so cramped.

Chen Ye pushed open the small door in the middle and looked at the spacious courtyard that appeared. The four people's dissatisfied attitudes disappeared.

"Is this your house, Ye Zi?" They really didn't know anything about the house here. Mainly because it was not convenient to talk about it on the phone or in a letter. After all, it's never too careful as walls have ears.

Chen Ye had nothing to hide from them: "Well, but I don't plan to tear down the wall right now. It's not good for me to live in a yard that is too big."

The words weren't very clear, but the four of them understood what he meant. Xiao Wang had just finished sweeping the snow and came over to greet him: "You guys are here?"

Uncle Cen nodded and said, "You look fat, kid. Go quickly. There are some things outside. Help bring them in."

"Hey, you guys go inside first, I'll handle the outside."

Chen Ye didn't know which room he should take the person to. After thinking about it, he decided to take him directly to his grandparents' room. Before Chen Ye knocked on the door, it opened and the old man, neatly dressed, looked outside.

"I just heard someone coming, and your grandma said I misheard. Look, I said I have good ears."

"Dad," the four people called out in unison.

The old man said he was disgusted but his face was full of joy: "I thought you all didn't have time to come over. Why don't you wait until the 30th to come over and eat the ready-made food?"

The old lady pushed aside the old man who was blocking the doorway and said, "Why are you still blocking the child outside? Come in quickly. Are you frozen?"

The capital is also cold, but it’s still far from being as cold as here. The weather in the Northeast is really great.

"mom."

"Hey, come in quickly and talk."

The four of them entered the house and stood at the door, watching their parents block the door for them. They opened the small cabinet beside the door and took out four pairs of cotton slippers they made themselves and put them on the ground. What does this mean? They can't even wear shoes when entering?

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. They are not the kind of people who would be so pretentious. They changed their shoes when asked to do so. It is true that they felt a little uncomfortable.

After taking off their coats and hanging them on the small cabinet, the four of them had time to look into the house. The house was not small and it was the main house. It looked like it was about 50 or 60 square meters.

The floor is made of natural wood and looks very clean. If they were asked to come in with shoes on, they would feel embarrassed because they would leave a big footprint every time they stepped on it.

As soon as they entered the house, they could feel that it was not only bright but also warm, which warmed their bodies that had been frozen all the way.

The windows are not the small ones that every house has, made up of small pieces of glass, but a large piece of glass, making the whole house very bright.

Uncle Cen took a closer look and immediately realized that the glass was double-layered, no wonder there was no frost on it.

Four double sofas formed a circle, with a square coffee table in the middle. On it were tea leaves and a set of rough-looking tea sets. Although not exquisite, they matched the overall atmosphere of the room.

The space between the sofa and the coffee table was covered with a dark grey carpet. When I got closer I could see it was animal fur. After a closer look, I realized that my parents lived a very luxurious life. This was clearly a wolf skin.

The two brothers felt jealous at the same time. Look at how their old man is living. It seems that he is living better than when he was in the capital.

In the corner, there is a fireplace about 1.5 meters high, which is still burning. The crackling sound of burning firewood occasionally adds some liveliness.

Closest to the inside, there is a low kang (kang) that is only half a meter high, with the same light beige mat on it. This should be the kang that the old couple lives on now. There are beddings stacked at the end of the kang, which does not look messy and gives a very comfortable feeling.

I only saw a small door on the other side. I don’t know what’s inside. There is a spiral staircase on one side of the small door. Is this house a two-story building?

I looked up at the height of the ceiling, and then thought about the height of the house I saw when I came in. This should be the second floor separated from the back.

"This is a nice house. It's warm and clean."

Uncle Cen sighed and thought that the house here was not very warm either. He didn't know whether the old couple were suffering here, but the result was completely different from what they expected.

The old man was very proud when he heard this: "Of course not, this is the house that Dabao built with his own hands, especially for me and his grandmother. There is also a second floor, but the second floor is suitable for living in the summer, and it is warmer to live on the kang in the winter."

The second floor is made of wooden tatami by Chen Ye. It won’t get damp even if it is not burned. There is also a place similar to a bay window next to the window where you can enjoy the view. The old man likes it very much. Now that the weather is cold, the old man has to go up and sit there from time to time.

"You mean, the current appearance of this house was created by Ye Zi alone?" Why does this sound so fake?

"How could I possibly lie to you? This house used to belong to a wealthy family. Don't you know that the only characteristic of wealthy families' houses is that they're tall, so they won't keep you warm in the winter."

"Dabaoer came up with the idea of ​​dividing it into two floors. This way the space becomes smaller and heating is easier. You'll believe it when you see a few more rooms. There are also rooms at the back that haven't been tidied up yet."

The old lady ignored the old man's boasting and picked up the kettle on the fireplace. She poured the steaming water into a few rough-looking cups on the coffee table and said, "Hurry up and drink something hot."

"Don't look at this cup because it looks ugly. It was made by Xiaosi and Dabao. You can't buy this anywhere else." The old man was praising openly, while the old lady was hinting in a roundabout way.

Uncle Cen...even if it was for sale, no one would buy such a crude thing. Of course, he was not stupid enough to say this directly.

Well, as soon as my parents saw what my niece was like, they were hooked and they had to take my niece out for a walk after just three minutes of watching her.

"How many days can you stay this time?"

Boss Cen took a sip of hot water and said, "We have to rush back on the fifth day of the New Year. It's not easy to take so much time off."

The old man knew this, and he thought he might not be able to make it to the New Year in the next few years.

The door opened, and Xiao Wang walked in carrying a bag full of things. "The driver said he wouldn't come in, and said he was going back first."

Uncle Cen nodded. The driver of this car was not his own. He borrowed the car when he got here. Otherwise, there were too many things and he couldn't carry them. He couldn't let his niece pick them up in such a cold weather. If he dared to say anything about it, his father would scold him.

"Where's Ye Zi?" The old man realized that he couldn't see his granddaughter. Was the child hiding because she was embarrassed?

Xiao Wang quickly replied, "Ye Zi was worried that there wouldn't be enough for breakfast, so she said she was going to the state-owned restaurant to buy some buns."
