"There's nothing in my house, you can come in anywhere," Qin Mi said, pointing to the room next to the sofa. "Let's start with that room!"
Afterwards, Qin went to wash the pots and dishes by the well, while Wen Xi pushed open the door next to the sofa. What came into view was a room that looked like a square. It was very simple inside, with a wooden bed against the wall, a small bedside table next to the bed, and two rattan trunks at the foot of the bed.
The windows were bare, without even curtains, but the yard enclosed the area, so no one could come in, let alone peek at Qin Mi. However, the morning sunlight was so bright that it was impossible to sleep.
Remembering that Qin Mi had just said he went out to exercise, I knew he must have gotten up very early in the morning, so the sunlight shouldn't have affected his sleep, since he had already gotten up when the sunlight started to shine in.
However, Qin Mi's room was spotless, with a bright and clean feel. Everything in the room was neatly arranged, from newspapers and books to the pillows and blankets on the bed. It was clear that he had been trained in the military.
Wen Xi came out of the room just as Qin Mi came from the kitchen. The two almost bumped into each other. Wen Xi quickly took two steps back. "Brother Qin, your room is missing a wardrobe, a shoe rack, and curtains. You can also put a long table by the window. It would be nice to sit there and read a book or newspaper. It would definitely be more comfortable than reading in bed."
Qin Mi nodded, "Okay, you keep doing the statistics, we'll go check out the furniture factory later."
"Brother Qin, why is there nothing in your house? When did you come here?" Wen Xi asked curiously.
"I've only been here for a little over a year. When I first arrived, I was busy establishing myself and setting an example. I was extremely busy and often had to be away for several days at a time. I didn't have time to furnish my home," Qin Mi explained.
As an outsider, if he wants to gain people's trust and respect, he really has to put in more effort than the average person.
Hearing his words, Wenxi felt a pang of heartache. He really had it tough. "No wonder you're not in good health. No matter how busy you are in the future, you must eat and rest on time. Don't starve yourself or overwork yourself. If something happens to you, it will benefit others. Someone else will be promoted, someone else will live in your house, someone else will inherit your property. Only when you turn into dust will you be forgotten and disappear from this world completely. Isn't that a loss?"
Seeing Wen Xi's earnest and mature demeanor, Qin Mi smiled with pleasure, "Hearing you say that, it does seem like a loss, but don't worry, I will put my health first and will never let myself suffer a loss."
"Alright!" The message has been delivered; the rest is up to Qin Mi.
Afterwards, Wenxi went to check other places. The space under the stairs had been partitioned into a bathroom, which contained a washbasin stand, a bathtub, and other items. There was also a hole in the corner where the terrain was lower, which was convenient for draining water.
There was another room next to the bathroom, but it was empty. Wen Xi turned to Qin Mi and asked, "Brother Qin, do you want to turn this into a study?"
"Okay." Qin Mi nodded.
“Then you’ll need to find a carpenter to build you a bookshelf.” Based on her memory, Wen Xi drew the bookshelf she had seen in that man’s house in her previous life, and then handed the notebook to Qin Mi. “Brother Qin, what do you think of this bookshelf? You’ll definitely have more and more books in the future, so to avoid trouble later, it’s better to build a bigger bookshelf now!”
After reading it, Qin Mi nodded repeatedly, "Not bad."
Wenxi's bookshelf is a long desk with shelves on top, so you can put books on top and read below, killing two birds with one stone.
"What's wrong? Is it not good?" Wen Xi asked, puzzled, seeing that Qin Mi didn't seem very enthusiastic.
Qin Mi quickly shook his head, "No, I think it's fine."
"I thought you didn't like my opinion, but I'm just giving you my opinion. The final decision is still yours." After looking at the two rooms downstairs, the two went upstairs to look at the rooms. The two rooms upstairs were empty, but the walls were painted white, with blue on the bottom and white on the top, a unique decorating style of this era.
"Brother Qin, how about we leave the upstairs as is for now?" Wen Xi raised an eyebrow and tentatively suggested.
When he has a partner, or a wife and children, we can see what they think. If we renovate now and they don't like it, tearing it down and renovating again is both troublesome and expensive.
Qin Mi nodded. "Okay, then that's settled."
"Brother Qin, do you have a ruler at home?" Wenxi asked as she came downstairs.
Qin Mi took a ruler from under the low table and handed it to Wen Xi. Wen Xi took the ruler and went to the kitchen. She then began to measure the diameter of the two pots and recorded the measurements in a notebook. Next, she measured the diameter of the mouth of the earthenware jar to avoid having to exchange it if she bought the wrong size, which would be too troublesome.
Wenxi prefers to get things done all at once and dislikes going through the hassle repeatedly.
When Wenxi was doing something, her expression was different from usual; she looked serious and pure.
Qin Mi looked at the earnest Wen Xi. The sunlight outside the window shone on her, warm and radiating a unique feeling. His heart also felt warm and full. No one had ever brought him such warmth since he was a child. Wen Xi was the first.
Qin Mi felt that something was different about her, but at the same time, she felt that nothing had changed.
"Alright." Wen Xi finished what she was doing, walked up to Qin Mi, and handed him the notebook and pen. "Brother Qin, what do you think?"
Just then, the sound of a car came from outside. Qin Mi said, "The car is here, let's go!"
"good!"
Upon arriving outside, Qin Mi opened the car door and beckoned Wen Xi to get in. After Wen Xi got in, she assumed Qin Mi would sit in the front, but to her surprise, Qin Mi got in from the other side and sat next to her.
Qin Mi was tall with long legs, and his long legs seemed to be unable to stretch out in the car. With him next to her, Wen Xi felt that the space in the car had become cramped.
Qin Mi opened the car window a little, and Wen Xi felt the air was fresher.
"To the furniture factory," Qin Mi said to the driver in front.
In this era, being a driver is something everyone envies, and driving for a leader is even more enviable.
Thinking back to her past life, Wenxi realized that after the 1980s, there were more wealthy people, and many people bought cars. She also learned from the original text that people in the 21st century were actually quite well-off, with almost every household owning a car. With that in mind, Wenxi moved forward a little, watching the driver's actions, wanting to learn from him.
