That night, when the family heard that Chen Xia had bought a big house in the city, they all clamored to go and see it, and even Gu's mother was very interested.
Because Chen Xia said that she wanted her father-in-law and mother-in-law to live together so that they could help take care of her grandchildren when they have them.
Isn’t playing with grandchildren the favorite thing for retired aunties like this old lady?
Ever since Gu Lin got married, it's been just the old couple at home every day, which is actually quite deserted. However, the plum garden is crowded and lively, so Gu's mother likes to go to her son-in-law's house when she has nothing to do.
Chen Xia also saw the loneliness of the old lady and the old man, so he suggested that everyone move in together.
Originally, the old couple must have had concerns. Chen Xia still had a grandmother at home, so it wouldn't be appropriate for them to move in. This move with the hospital was a good opportunity, as Gu's mother didn't like the staff quarters anyway.
The next day happened to be Sunday, so the whole family went out in two small jeeps to visit their new home.
The price was agreed upon yesterday, and both parties signed a transfer contract on the spot. They even had a few old men sign the agreement as witnesses.
With this agreement, it will be very simple to go to the Housing Management Office to register the transfer. There is no deed tax these days, so you just need to get a new house deed, handwritten.
Those with connections can get it done right away. Those without connections can just wait.
When the gate of the West Garden was opened, everyone was stunned because it was so huge, five or six times the size of the Plum Garden.
Chen Qiu and Chen Dong were running around in the garden, quite happy.
Dean Gu and Gu's mother were pointing and discussing which flowers to plant and which vegetables to plant. This is all part of the fun of life.
As for Jiangnan gardens, there must be a large pond in the garden. The West Garden also has one, and its area is not small. The entire West Garden’s buildings and gardens are designed around the pond.
Moreover, the pond in Xiyuan is connected to the ring canal. At this time, the river water is not polluted and is quite clear. You can also see many fish and shrimps swimming slowly.
Chen Xia, this old salted fish, may not be good at other things, but he is good at having fun.
He had already thought about it. When he had nothing to do, he would fish in the pond. He could also sink a few "ground traps" in the pond, so that he would have enough small fish and shrimp to eat every day.
Isn’t this day beautiful?
Anyway, he will never be able to go fishing in the big rivers in his life. He would never dare to go there even if he was beaten to death. I don’t know how far Xiaoliang’s science popularization has progressed. Do water monkeys really exist?
The happiest person was Gu Lin, because she discovered that the small villa had running water, a bathroom and a flush toilet, which was so convenient.
You know, although the plum garden is nice, they still use well water for drinking and traditional toilets, which are smelly and unhygienic. Fortunately, Chen Fang goes to empty the toilet every day, otherwise she would go crazy if she had to empty the toilet every day.
The small villa in Xiyuan is on the north side of the pond. It has three floors and is made entirely of brick and stone. Even the patterns on the exterior walls are brick carvings, which is rare in Yuezhou.
Just like the Meiyuan, it is actually a wooden structure house. Except for the brick carvings at the gate, the whole house is made of wood carvings. If the house is not renovated frequently, it will easily become moldy and rotten.
The villa is a large house with seven rooms. Downstairs is a large living room, a small reception room, a dining room, a study, a nanny's room, etc. There are 7 rooms and 3 bathrooms on the second floor, and 7 rooms on the third floor as well. Not to mention a family, even two families can easily live in it.
In order to please her mother-in-law, Chen Xia also said:
"Mom, you and Dad will have one room, Gu Lin and I will have one, Chen Qiu and Chen Dong will each have their own room, Grandma and Chen Fang will have one, leaving one for my eldest sister, and the other for the children's room. What do you think?"
Mother Gu nodded happily, "Okay, okay, it would be great if our family could live together and have a lively time."
"That's not all. When my two brothers-in-law come home to visit, or when they don't have time to take care of the children, they bring their grandchildren back to Yuezhou. Our house is big enough for everyone to live in, don't you think?"
The old lady smiled so hard that her back teeth were exposed. "Well, you are such a good child, so considerate, much better than my girl."
Even Old Man Gu smiled when he heard this. "Yes, there has to be a place for the two sons or grandchildren to live when they come back, right?" This son-in-law was very thoughtful.
Only Gu Lin's lips curled up when she heard this, "Mom, I'm your biological child, okay?"
Mother Gu curled her lips and said, "I think Chen Xia is my biological child. You were picked up from a trash can."
Hahaha, everyone burst into laughter.
Comrade Lao Gu just remembered something at this time: "Xiao Xia, if we move to Xiyuan, what about the Plum Garden in Ke Town?"
Chen Xia looked at his comrade Gu and said, "Wife, what do you think we should do with the plum garden?"
Gu Lin thought about it very seriously and said, "There's no point in keeping it. We won't be going back in the future. Let's sell it. The money will belong to me."
Mother Gu felt it was a pity, because the plum garden was an outstanding work that she had decorated herself, and it would be a shame to sell such a big house.
Chen Xia thought about it and felt that their family would probably not go back. Now that they had the West Garden, the Plum Garden was of little use.
Don’t even think about investing in real estate these days. An old wooden house will fall apart if it’s not lived in for a few years.
Finally, the whole family reached a consensus to sell. As for the price, it must be increased based on the 1980 level. After all, two and a half years have passed and prices have risen a lot.
When Chen Xia bought the house, in Yu Deshui's words, Ke Zhen could not afford such a huge sum of money with more than one hand.
Now, more than two years have passed, and the number of small business owners who run textile factories at home has increased dramatically. There are many hidden rich people, and there is no shortage of buyers.
"Mom, the renovation project of Xiyuan will be handed over to you next. I don't trust others to do the renovation, so I trust your vision."
Mother Gu was in a very good mood. "Okay, I promise to make this West Garden beautiful and clean."
Only Gu Lin and Old Man Gu kept sneering at the side, "Flatterer."
Despite the economic guerrilla movement in early 1982, this unhealthy trend was corrected in the second half of the year, and many small bosses emerged immediately, including construction companies.
Chen Xia used Zeng Peinong's connections to find a construction and decoration company.
The foreman went to the West Garden to take a look. Actually, the project was not big. The main thing was to renovate the garden and completely renovate the interior of the small villa.
Chen Xia bought a lot of air conditioners from Hong Kong. He installed one in every room and covered them with wooden frames to hide them from people. Then the rooms would be completely alive in the summer.
As for whether the power supply can be powered? Then you can just pay the power company to increase the capacity of the transformer and the diameter of the power supply wire at your own expense.
Things that can be solved with money are not considered difficult. After all, this is my third home after my rebirth.
