Chapter 220 Renovation of the Siheyuan
"Haha, okay, it's up to you. Anything is fine!" Bai Zhengshan said happily.
After the watermelons, pumpkins, potatoes and sweet potatoes in the backyard were planted and watered, everyone moved to the front yard to plant eggplants, tomatoes and peppers.
When the planting was almost finished, Bai Xiuli and her friends just came back from get off work.
Bai Xiuli was very happy to see the transplanted seedlings, and said that she would do the watering work from now on.
"We are at home, so you just need to work hard. Jinrui is very hungry. He just refuses to eat milk powder and is waiting for you to come back and feed him!" Dong Yulan said as she handed her little grandson Su Jinrui to Bai Xiuli's arms.
"You little rascal, you're such a thief!" Bai Xiuli glared at her son.
He's so picky at such a young age.
Afraid that she would be hungry, the family specially prepared milk powder, but the kid just refused to eat and waited for her to come back every day to feed her breast milk.
Bai Xiuli took Jinrui, and the little guy went straight into her arms...
"If I tell you not to eat milk powder, you should be starved~" Bai Xiuli slapped the little guy on the butt, feeling angry and helpless.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of the month.
Su Mingyuan had three days off and was helping to build a chicken coop in the backyard.
There are six chickens in the backyard, five hens and one rooster.
It has been half a month since the six chicks were bought from the vegetable market. Dong Yulan takes good care of them every day and they are growing very fast.
When Su Mingyuan was building the chicken coop, Bai Xiuli was there to help.
Su Jinyu watched from the side.
Brother Xiao and Sister Xiao went out again today, leaving him alone at home.
Su Jinyu felt very aggrieved. Ever since coming to Beijing, he felt that his elder sister was only with Brother Xiao.
Every day after breakfast, he would go out with Brother Xiao. He wanted to follow Brother Xiao but was not allowed.
"It seems that the soil in my dad's yard is quite fertile. It was bare when I left, but when I came back the vegetables are growing so well!" Su Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the lush green backyard.
"Yes, the vegetables are growing well and the watermelons can be eaten soon!" Bai Xiuli nodded.
I was worried that I had planted the watermelons too late, but after the watermelon seedlings were transplanted, the vines grew wildly, with several watermelons on one vine, and the largest one weighed almost ten pounds.
My mother-in-law said it will be ready to eat in four or five days.
In four or five days, the children will have summer vacation.
"Summer vacation is coming soon. Will Jinze and the others come?"
Su Mingyuan shook his head: "I don't know. If they come, they will definitely call in advance. We can call back and ask later!"
He was very busy at the cotton mill every day and didn't have much time to return to the compound.
As soon as I came back, I was busy building a chicken coop...
"Okay, I'll give her a call and ask later!" Bai Xiuli nodded.
Su Jinyu's eyes lit up: "Are the second and third brothers coming?"
The second and third brothers can take them out to play.
Big brother only knows how to study medicine, Xiao brother almost threw him away...
Second and third brothers are still the best!
"Qibao and Xiao Mo are out again?" Su Mingyuan felt heartbroken for a second when he saw the loneliness emanating from his beloved son.
"I go out almost every day, and I don't know what I'm busy with!" Bai Xiuli nodded.
Because of this, her sister was very depressed.
Later, her father simply waved his hand and stopped Momo from attending classes, saying that she could continue to study after the summer vacation.
As a result, Momo and Qibao went out more frequently every day.
This side of the courtyard.
Qibao and Xiao Mo would come to keep watch for a while every day.
Through the relationship with next-door neighbor Dai Mingxuan, a group of workers were hired to renovate the house.
Except for the bluestone bricks paved on the ground, the rest of the house is basically made of pure wood.
There are all kinds of rare and precious trees in the secret space, and there are countless of them that are hundreds or even thousands of years old. You can have as many as you want.
But those were too eye-catching, so in the end Gu Qiqi only picked out a batch of trees of suitable size and variety, used her mental power to cut them into trunks, and even drained them, and piled them in the central courtyard, which was particularly spectacular.
Not only the main body of the courtyard house needs to be repaired, but the electrical circuits and water pipes also need to be re-laid.
Gu Qiqi paid appropriate wages, the workers worked hard, and the person in charge was dedicated and responsible, striving to renovate the courtyard to perfection!
Among them, we hired several carpenters.
When several carpenters saw the tree trunks piled up in the yard, they all couldn't let go.
The wood is not a particularly precious species, but it is of excellent quality.
They have been playing with wood for so many years, but have never seen such good quality.
While the workers were busy in the front yard, Gu Qiqi and Xiao Mo sat under the ginkgo tree in the backyard to enjoy the cool air.
The dry well next to the ginkgo tree had been emptied by Xiao Mo. He cleared out the debris inside and dug another five or six meters downwards. He used a few dust-clearing techniques to emptied the well completely. The water that finally seeped out was clear and sweet...
Gu Qiqi also specially asked the carpenter to install a wheel on the old well to make it easier to draw water.
Xiao Mo set up a small spirit gathering formation with the ginkgo tree as the center and buried a lot of spirit stones around it.
In addition, Qibao would water the ginkgo tree with some spiritual spring water every day. After more than half a month, the changes in the ginkgo tree were visible to the naked eye, with lush branches and leaves...
The backyard is secluded.
When Gu Qiqi was bored, she would focus on tidying up the flower bed in the backyard.
Some flowers and plants from the secret space were planted in the flower bed, and a few fruit trees were also planted.
Xiao Mo had long been numb to the fact that she would occasionally conjure up something.
The little girl used to be wary of him, but now she is much better. Maybe she has accepted his existence in her heart.
After all, in this era, they are probably the only two who practice Taoism.
In a blink of an eye, it was July.
Gu Jinze and his friends are on vacation.
The watermelons in Bai Zhengshan’s backyard are ripe.
When Bai Zhengshan has nothing to do, he likes to stroll in the backyard and pick a watermelon.
The watermelons grown at home are especially sweet.
Su Jinyu likes to eat it with a spoon.
Throw the watermelon rinds into the chicken coop after eating them. The chickens love to eat them!
The Bai family has now basically achieved self-sufficiency in vegetables, except for fish, meat, tofu and bean curd sheets.
Mrs. Lin looked at the uneaten vegetables in the front and back yards and was extremely impressed by Dong Yulan and the others.
She had tried to grow vegetables in the yard before, but unfortunately she was never able to grow them successfully.
As a result, after Dong Yulan and others arrived, the vegetables in the yard grew rapidly.
The steps are obviously similar, but the ones I grow myself are not as good as others!
The fruit trees planted in the yard are also growing very well.
Now the small Western-style building looks completely different.
There are shade trees, vegetables, and a few clumps of flowers and plants planted at the entrance. It looks vibrant and pleasing to the eye!
Early that morning, Xiao Jinyu was doing horse stance in the yard!
He has now tied it up quite well.
From the initial twenty minutes, I can now last up to an hour.
During the whole process, the little guy neither complained nor said he was tired once!
Bai Xiuli was very satisfied with her son's performance.
It is quite good for a three-year-old child to have such endurance and mentality.
After breakfast, Xiao Yi went to the station to pick someone up.
The nursery was also on holiday, so Su Qingshan, Su Mingmei and Gu Jinze and the other two came to Beijing.
Originally Su Qingshan was reluctant to come, as he planned to stay at home to look after the vegetable garden.
As luck would have it, Gu Jianguo's appointment came on the first day of summer vacation.
