Chapter 60: Renovation of the New House
"I've found a decoration company. It's a company in Hong Kong that specializes in interior design. I heard that the designers all studied abroad."
Zhong Hui and Yang Fangqin had just returned home after practicing driving when they heard Zhong Xiong speak proudly.
"That's great. When can we start work?" Yang Fangqin asked.
"Before you start working, you have to communicate with them first about the style you want. They will give you a design drawing, and only when you are satisfied can we start working."
"Yes, yes, I was too excited and forgot about it." Yang Fangqin said in annoyance.
"I've made an appointment with the designers. They're coming to inspect the new house tomorrow. We'll go over then and talk to them about it so they can come up with the design as soon as possible." Zhong Xiong looked at them and said, "By the way, you can think about what style you want for the house."
"We don't understand the style. Let's ask in detail tomorrow." Zhong Hui only knew that she wanted to decorate her house, but she had no idea what different styles there were.
The next day was Saturday, and the two children had no schooling, so they went together to see the new house.
"Mom, it's so beautiful here. Are we going to live here in the future?" Linlin was so excited as soon as she entered Bixi Garden.
"Yes, do you like it here?" Zhong Hui asked gently.
"I like it, I like it, I like it very much. There are coconut trees here, they are so tall." Linlin was very happy.
"Aunt, I like it here too. It's so wide that I can even ride a bike here." Zhong Xu also hurriedly said.
"There's a basketball court here, right behind there. You can go play basketball after you finish your homework." Yang Fangqin pointed to the basketball court over there.
"Really? Let me go and take a look." Zhong Xu couldn't wait to run over there.
"Wait a minute, we have an appointment with a designer to come to our house, and the basketball court won't run away, so you can go later." Yang Fangqin grabbed him.
"Okay." Zhong Xu reluctantly followed them upstairs.
They went to the top floor first. When they arrived, the designer from the decoration company was already waiting at the door. After the two sides got to know each other, the designer came in to look at the layout of the house.
"Mr. Zhong, Mrs. Zhong, your house is spacious, I suggest you decorate it in American style, it will look very grand and beautiful." After looking at it, designer Gong Yu with a Hong Kong accent recommended it to them.
"You two can take a look at this. This is a sample picture. The American style is also very popular in Hong Kong."
Zhong Xiong took the sample book and looked at it carefully with Yang Fangqin.
"I think it's a bit dark. I like a slightly brighter style." Yang Fangqin said, "I still like this American style. It looks very grand, but it's a bit dark."
"This can be adjusted according to your wishes. As for the walls, we can use a brighter color. Yes, put up some off-white wallpaper to brighten the overall space."
Yang Fangqin and Zhong Xiong exchanged a glance, then looked at the sample book and nodded, "Okay, let's install it like this."
"Okay, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong, we will produce the design draft as soon as possible."
"Have you made up your mind? Don't ask Zhong Xu's opinion anymore?" Zhong Hui reminded in a low voice.
"I won't ask anymore. What does he know as a little kid? He's just making trouble." Yang Fangqin waved her hand.
Zhong Xu and Zhong Linlin were playing upstairs at the moment: "It's so spacious here, Brother Zhong Xu, you even have stairs in your house."
After living in Xinhe Community for a while, Linlin was a little surprised to see such a wide house.
"Hey, we'll still live in the same building in the future, Linlin, you can still come to me to do your homework."
"Sure, but let me make this clear, you can't ask me to help you copy new words!" Linlin said with a puffy face.
Zhong Xu's face fell: "Linlin, good Linlin, please help me again."
"No, if you continue like this, I'm not helping you, I'm hurting you. You won't even pass the Chinese language exam in this high school entrance exam." Linlin refused to help Zhong Xu with his homework no matter what.
"If you don't want to help, then don't help. Zhong Linlin, you stingy person." Zhong Xu said angrily.
"Hmph, then I won't play with you anymore." Linlin also went downstairs angrily.
Oh my god, how could the friendship boat suddenly capsize? The three adults downstairs were confused.
"Mom, let's go see my house." Linlin came downstairs with red eyes and went to hold Zhong Hui's hand.
"What's wrong? Did Zhong Xu bully you?" Yang Fangqin took a look and prepared to go upstairs to beat him up.
Linlin blinked and sniffed, then shook her head: "Aunt, Brother Zhongxu didn't bully me."
Zhong Xu, who was walking down the stairs, breathed a sigh of relief and winked at Linlin. Zhong Linlin snorted and turned her head away.
It's normal for children to play around. Zhong Hui smiled and turned to the designer, "Let's go to the thirteenth floor and take a look."
"Okay." The two designers packed up their things and agreed.
Arriving at Zhong Hui's house, Linlin looked around as soon as she entered. Zhong Xu walked up to her and said with a smile, "Linlin, your house is not small."
"Hmph." Zhong Linlin was very happy, but still pouted.
"Okay, I won't let you do your homework in the future." Zhong Xu pulled her sleeve.
"That's good enough. Will you take me out to play in the future?" Linlin asked Zhong Xu again.
"Of course I will take you to play. You are my sister, my real sister. If I don't take you to play, who else should I take?" Zhong Xu patted his chest.
"That's more like it." Linlin smiled happily.
"These two kids are always acting differently." Zhong Hui shook her head and laughed.
"It's good that we've made up." Yang Fangqin also smiled.
"Zhong Hui, how about you decorate your house in the same style as mine? I think the American style is really grand." Zhong Xiong also suggested.
Zhong Hui shook her head repeatedly: "No, I don't like it. I think it's too heavy. I like this Nordic style. It's simple and pleasing to the eye."
"Ms. Zhong, your home is a large flat with such a wide terrace, which is very suitable for the Nordic style." Gong Yu said, and recommended several Nordic-style decoration design drawings to Zhong Hui.
Zhong Hui called Zhong Linlin over and said, "Linlin, take a look. Do you like the way our house is decorated?"
Zhong Linlin hurried over and looked through the sample book with Zhong Hui.
"It looks good, I like it." Linlin's eyes were bright, obviously she liked it.
"Okay, then let's pretend it's like this." Zhong Hui made the final decision.
"Okay, we will definitely make a design that will satisfy you all." Gong Yu nodded.
"I want to design this terrace into a garden, and there should be space for lounge chairs. In addition, I also want to put a small table on the terrace." Zhong Hui made some more requests.
"Okay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Gong Yu agreed.
After discussing the decoration style and seeing off the two designers, Zhong Hui and her friends went downstairs, ready to take the two children for a walk around the community.
