Chapter 9 Design
Xu Qingsong’s childhood friend Tao Huayu stroked his chin and winked at Liu Wangxue, looking gossipy: “Girlfriend? A handsome man and a beautiful woman. No, you also have a good appearance, a golden boy and a jade girl.”
"Shut up!" Xu Qingsong said disdainfully, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."
"Who is that? Why does he look familiar?"
Xu Qingsong said: "They came to buy a house. I sold the one in my second uncle's house to them."
"Second Master is so lucky, he has a good son and lives in a big villa." Tao Huayu envied, "When can I have a big villa!"
"A small building in the village, isn't it almost like a villa? Stop crying, go over and take a look, and give me a reasonable price."
"No problem, I'll even break your bones!" Tao Huayu said, looking at Xu Qingsong suspiciously: "If she's not your girlfriend, then she's the one you like pursuing you? Sure, sell your house to her. You know how to take advantage of others, kid."
Xu Qingsong was too lazy to explain.
Tao Huayu muttered: "I've never seen you so attentive when buying a house before. They always gave me the address and found it themselves."
Liu Wangxue and her parents have already made their choice.
A solid wood bed is too heavy, and there are concerns about formaldehyde in composite wood. The paint smell will not dissipate without being left for a while, so they chose a simple wrought iron bed.
I don't want to shop around anymore. Besides, Xu Qingsong and I will be neighbors in the future, so I can't just cheat them.
Xu Qingsong came over and introduced himself.
Tao Huayu's usual way of doing business was familiar to people. His words and demeanor seemed a bit slick, but also a bit funny. Liu Wangxue couldn't help but want to laugh when she shook hands with him.
With this smile, Tao Huayu knew why Liu Wangxue looked familiar—the anchor he was a fan of! He was also the administrator! After Liu Wangxue announced his retirement from the Internet, he sighed for a long time and lost several pounds.
Tao Huayu thought, no wonder he didn’t recognize her at first, she looks much better in person than in the camera!
No plastic surgery at all, a natural beauty!
"Hey, what are you doing?" Xu Qingsong stretched out his hand and waved in front of Tao Huayu.
Tao Huayu came back to his senses and smiled in a standard way: "What's wrong?"
Xu Qingsong couldn't help but question how he had grown his business: "People are asking about the price. This, this, two beds and two mattresses, how much?"
Tao Huayu wanted to shout, "No money! Take it! Take whatever you want! Pick the most expensive one!"
But he couldn't, so he quoted a factory price and promised to deliver the goods to his door within today.
Xiao Qi opened his eyes wide, but didn't dare to say a word.
Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan didn’t quite understand this, but they also felt that the price was a bit too low.
Liu Wangxue looked at Xu Qingsong.
Xu Qingsong was very satisfied and nodded, no problem.
All right. Liu Wangxue selected some bedding, pillows, quilts and four-piece sets.
Erye and his friends did not take the washing machine and dryer in the house, so after returning home, Liu Wangxue disassembled them and threw them in. After washing and drying, they were ready to use that night.
Then the family of three cleaned the room again.
The second master didn't take the home appliances with him, but Liu Wangxue didn't plan to use them and wanted to buy new ones. So he moved them all to the living room, asked Xu Qingsong about recycling, and contacted someone to come to his house.
As soon as the cleaning was completed, Tao Huayu brought people to deliver the bed and mattress and helped move them to the bedroom.
It was just time for dinner, so Liu Nanshan suggested calling Xu Qingsong and having dinner together.
After dinner, Liu Wangxue's family refused the two people's offer to see them off, saying that they wanted to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities.
Most of the storefronts in the town are connected to people's homes, so all kinds of shops close relatively late. There happened to be a store selling small batteries next to the supermarket, so Liu Wangxue bought two.
The family of three rode home.
After taking a shower, Liu Wangxue carried the tablet to her parents' master bedroom to discuss the furniture that needed to be purchased and the renovation of the house and yard.
Among the paintings given by the mistress, there are three large ones. The horizontal one is a golden and green landscape, the vertical one is a solitary orchid in a valley, the detailed flower and bird painting is square and framed, and there are also several small works that are not framed.
Liu Wangxue thought about this and said, "Why don't we buy antique-style furniture to match the paintings?"
Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan had no objections. As long as Liu Wangxue liked it, they liked it.
Liu Wangxue talked about his own fantasy.
First, indoors.
The original layout was two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The master bedroom where my parents live now is okay as the space is suitable, but Liu Wangxue's second bedroom is a bit small.
She likes big beds. Once a two-meter bed is put in, the space immediately shrinks. If a wardrobe and dressing table are added later, it will seem cramped.
So, she thought about moving the kitchen out of the room and knocking down part of the wall connecting the kitchen and her bedroom so that the space would be more spacious.
In addition, she can also set aside a work area, and she still wants to try to write some books and submit them. No matter what, this is the career she loves and she cannot give it up.
Even in her previous life, when she was suffering from severe depression, she still tried to create works. Some of them were sold, while others were ignored because they were too gloomy.
Gu Xuelan agreed with her idea: "Nowadays, there are many young people on the Internet who are always ready to retire and live in old age. We should not be so negative in life. When we are tired, we should take a break for a while and find something we like to do. Even if we can't achieve anything famous, it is an explanation to ourselves."
Liu Nanshan's focus was more practical: "What about moving the kitchen out to the yard? This would be a big project, as the plumbing and electrical circuits would have to be re-laid."
Liu Wangxue said: "It doesn't matter. We don't have anything else to do anyway. Let's hire a construction team and do it slowly."
She thought for a moment and said, "Let's build it against one side of the courtyard wall. It will be a little more spacious so that there is space for a restaurant. We can also build a bar so that it will be comfortable for friends to come over for a drink or something."
"Okay." Both parents agreed.
Next are the sunroom and grape trellis that Liu Wangxue wanted most.
Gu Xuelan said, "Should we expand the yard a little further? Once the cars park in, it might become crowded."
Liu Nanshan suggested: "Why don't you just forget about the sun room? I think it's already quite hot here now. In the summer it will be like a furnace, which is not practical."
Liu Wangxue wanted to do that, and said, "You can plant creepers. They will provide shade in the summer, and even if they wither in the winter, they won't affect the sunlight."
Gu Xuelan liked this idea: "We can also plant some waterfall roses. I saw how beautiful they were in the video."
The mother and daughter hit it off immediately, and Liu Nanshan had no choice but to support them.
The family of three discussed until late at night before falling asleep.
Liu Wangxue also used soul painting to produce a design drawing.
