Chapter 328 The layout of the new house was miscalculated
Wen Wan returned home with a gloomy face. She rummaged through the closet, took out the iron box containing the money, and started counting the money.
Zhou Guohua had just returned from the sea and was about to find clothes to take a shower. When he saw Wen Wan taking out the money box, he asked curiously, "What's wrong? Do you want to buy something?"
Wen Wan counted all the money, including her own, and the total was only seven hundred and forty-four yuan and forty cents.
"Why is there so little money?"
Zhou Guohua: "Recently, we are building a house and we need to make cages, which is very expensive."
There is still a lot of cement and sand, and the workers' wages have not been paid out! "What's wrong, do you want to buy something?"
Wen Wan: "I want to buy land."
Zhou Guohua was confused: "Why buy land?"
Now that the family has been divided, they have also been allocated land and have built a house. They have no shortage of residential land, so why buy it? "I want to buy the land behind our new house. Go ask your aunt how much it costs per mu."
Zhou Guohua: "That piece of land is overgrown with weeds and flooded every year. It's not even suitable for building a house. Why buy it?"
"That piece of land will be valuable in the future. I dreamed that Zhou Chenglei bought it and made a fortune in the future. Go ask your aunt and let us buy the land first! Do you want to go?"
Zhou Guohua couldn't persuade her, so he could only say, "Okay, I'll go ask. But the money for cement and sand hasn't been paid yet, and the workers haven't been paid for last month, so it's going to be more than 300 yuan in total."
Wen Wan was a little impatient: "Go and ask how much it costs per acre first! If we don't have enough money, we can borrow it. Anyway, we have to buy the land as soon as possible."
Zhou Guohua was afraid that she would be too excited and it would be bad for the child, so he quickly agreed: "I'll go right away, don't get excited."
"Then go quickly. I bought the land so that our son can live no worse than others in the future. If we don't have enough money, we can ask your father for a loan."
"Okay, I'll go ask first."
*"Come on, I'll go with you to see the layout of the house." After all the scaffolding of the house was dismantled and cleaned up, and the villagers had left, Zhou Chenglei returned to the room and called Jiang Xia to see the layout of the house.
Jiang Xia closed the pen and walked over with him.
The first floor of the new house is designed with three bedrooms and two living rooms, with the two living rooms in the middle.
The first thing you see when you enter the room is the living room, followed by the dining room, one in front and one behind.
There are two rooms on the left and right of the living room.
On the left side of the dining room is the master bathroom with toilet, and on the right side is the stairwell and public bathroom.
Originally, I only wanted to have two rooms on the first floor, but because there was no area limit for building houses in rural areas in those days, the floor area of each unit was 130 square meters, which was large enough and there was no need for a kitchen, so there were three rooms on the first floor.
In order to facilitate the placement of furniture, aisles are left on both sides to enter the rooms, so the doors of the rooms cannot be seen in the living room.
The dining room has a large window, and there are windows at the ends of the aisles on both sides.
Each room is large and has wide windows, so the whole house has plenty of light.
Zhou Chenglei pulled Jiang Xia up to the second floor.
There is only a small living room on the second floor for daily living, so there are four rooms.
There is a super large L-shaped balcony walking out of the living room, where you can see the sea.
The master bedroom is a master bathroom suite facing southeast, and you can also see the sea from the window.
There is one room with a sea view, but the others do not.
The rooms on the first floor also offer views of the sea, but the trees block the view and it doesn't seem as vast.
However, when the courtyard wall of the first floor is built, it will no longer be visible. The courtyard wall has not been built yet.
Jiang Xia looked out from the window of the master bedroom. The early winter sky was cloudless, the sea in the distance was blue, the sea and the sky were one color, and the vast expanse was so vast that it made people feel relaxed and happy just by looking at it.
Jiang Xia said happily: "The scenery in the morning must be beautiful."
"Yeah, you can see the sunrise over the sea." Zhou Chenglei stood beside her, admiring the same scenery as her. "The next room can also see the sea, so it can be used as a study room."
Jiang Xia: "Then ask Zhou Zhou which room to choose."
Zhou Chenglei didn't want anyone to live in the next room and just wanted to use it as a study.
It’s not that he was reluctant to let the child live there, he was just afraid that the noise he and Jiang Xia made would be heard by the child.
So he specially designed that the area below the master bedroom was not a room but a stairwell.
But Jiang Xia didn't think as much as he did and wanted to give the room with a good view to the children.
Zhou Chenglei: "Isn't there a third floor? The children can live on the third floor."
When their child is born, he plans to let the child live on the third floor or the first floor.
Jiang Xia: "It's so tiring and troublesome to climb so many stairs!"
Zhou Chenglei couldn't help but mutter in his heart: How tiring can climbing two flights of stairs be for a child? He didn't even think about how hard it was for him to endure it for fear of being heard.
If I had known, I would have only left one room on the second floor.
Miscalculated! "Let's go to the third floor and take a look." Jiang Xia walked towards the stairwell.
She hadn't seen a doctor yet, so she didn't know if her condition had stabilized. Zhou Chenglei was afraid that it would be bad for her to climb too many stairs, so he just picked her up and walked upstairs.
Jiang Xia was startled and quickly hugged his neck.
"What are you doing? I can just walk by myself."
"Didn't you say climbing stairs is tiring?"
Jiang Xia: “…”

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Zhou Chenglei smiled.
He put her down only when they reached the third floor.
The layout of the third floor is the same as that of the second floor.
It’s just that the view from the third floor is better! Standing higher, you can see farther.
Jiang Xia took Zhou Chenglei's hand and walked around: "The view of the sea from the master bedroom on the third floor is even better, there are no trees blocking the view."
Zhou Chenglei: "How about we live on the third floor?"
The third floor is quieter.
Jiang Xia shook his head: "No, I'm too lazy to climb!"
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you can't enjoy it every day.
"If you don't want to climb the stairs, I can carry you up."
Jiang Xia didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked towards the stairwell: "Let's go to the roof and take a look."
Zhou Chenglei picked her up again and walked towards the stairwell: "Don't walk up too many stairs for now. Go to Doctor Gao's tomorrow to see if the situation has stabilized."
Jiang Xia followed his advice as soon as he heard it.
She pointed to the wall above the landing.
"That's the reservoir?"
"right."
The stairwell between the third floor and the rooftop has a particularly high ceiling.
The reservoir was built here, with the same length and width as the staircase landing and a depth of one and a half meters.
Taking into account the load-bearing problem and the water quality, the reservoir was not built very large.
A full reservoir of water is probably only enough for about one day. After use, you can just pump it out with a pump, which is very convenient.
When you reach the roof and exit the stairwell, there is a semi-open platform that provides shelter from the rain and sun. Next to it is a room that is used as a granary.
In a three-and-a-half-story house, this room and the semi-open rain shelter are called half a floor, and the floor is also collapsed.
There are just no stairs, so you can use a ladder to climb up to the sink when the time comes.
"This awning is very convenient. We often dry fish at home, and when it rains, we have another place to dry them."
"Yeah." It was windy on the rooftop, so Zhou Chenglei took off his coat and put it on Jiang Xia, then helped her button it up.
"No need to button it." Jiang Xia gathered his coat tightly with his hands and walked to the wall.
Looking from the top of the building, the view is wider.
On one side you can see the sea, and on the other side you can see the houses in the town.
But this is only for now. When the land in front is expropriated in the future, this house may be blocked by high-rise buildings or even expropriated.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Chenglei: "Is the land in the village expensive?"
