The salesperson did not lie. The Ear Villa in front of us is indeed much more beautiful than in the photos.
Get off the car outside the villa gate and walk along the straight marble road. There is a green lawn on the right.
The wall not far away is full of bright red roses, which spread from the wall to the lawn. There is also a set of wooden tables and chairs next to it. It would be a nice experience to pick a sunny afternoon, enjoy the breeze, admire the roses on the wall, and taste delicious afternoon tea.
On the left side, near the main body of the villa, there is an outdoor swimming pool. There are two white parasols beside the pool, and several lounge chairs are placed side by side under the big umbrellas, probably for swimmers to rest.
Walk up the steps in front of the villa, push open the door and enter the villa. The first thing you see is the spacious living room.
Zhang Jingzhi threw himself onto the sofa and sighed in comfort.
"This sofa is so comfortable! It's so big and soft, I don't have to worry about falling off when I turn over. I'm going to sleep on the sofa tonight!"
Father Zhang patted Zhang Jingzhi on the back and called him.
"You can sleep wherever you want to at night! Now get up and look around the house with us. Learn what each room is used for. Don't just lie there on the couch."
Zhang Wenyu's family continued to walk in. When they reached the dining room, Zhang's father exclaimed at the long dining table.
"This table is really big! It can seat about 10 to 20 people. It's only for holidays. Who else can have so many people dining together normally?"
The sales lady pushed open the door of the next room, and inside was a round dining table that could accommodate eight to ten people.
"Some families may have multiple generations living together. If your family has fewer people living together, you can use this table as a dining table for gatherings. On weekdays, you and your family can use the adjacent room as a dining room."
When we came out of the restaurant, the sales lady pointed to the innermost seat and introduced it with a smile.
"Go further in here, and you'll find the Chinese and Western kitchens."
Zhang's mother instantly became alert and pulled Zhang Jingzhi inside.
Let’s go check out the kitchen!”
Zhang Wenyu and others followed behind and walked in, and then they heard Zhang's mother's exclamation.
"Oh my god! How come this kitchen is so big! It's bigger than the house we lived in before! From now on, I won't have to run to the living room to pick vegetables because the kitchen can't accommodate two people."
Zhang Wenyu replied with a smile.
"That's not the case. Our house is nearly 100 square meters, and this kitchen is only about 70 square meters. It just looks big."
The family excitedly toured the villa and divided each person's room.
Zhang's father and mother wanted to give the master bedroom on the second floor to Zhang Wenyu, but Zhang Wenyu persuaded them for a long time before they gave up the idea.
In the end, the master bedroom on the second floor was given to Zhang's parents. The bedroom with the best view on the third floor was given to Zhang Wenyu. Zhang Jingzhi chose a bedroom next to the game room.
After touring the villa's rooms, everyone found their favorite. Zhang's parents loved the chess and card room on the basement floor, while Zhang Jingzhi jumped for joy at the game room on the third floor. Zhang Wenyu, however, preferred the artistically decorated study.
After visiting the indoors, we went outdoors. There was a small pond in the corner of the backyard wall. There were a few fat koi in the pond, and there was a small pavilion beside the pond where we could cool off.
There are several dwarf pines planted around the wall, and a path made of bluestone slabs divides the open space in the backyard into several parts.
Zhang's father and mother started planning enthusiastically. One pointed to a trapezoidal open space and said they wanted to plant cabbages, and the other pointed to a diamond-shaped open space and said they wanted to plant carrots. Soon, the backyard was clearly planned out.
In the afternoon, after dinner, the family returned to the old house to prepare for moving.
It rained last night and the originally hot and humid weather became much cooler.
Downstairs in the old residential complex, there were a few old men and women looking after children.
Aunt Li, their upstairs neighbor, sat on a mat with a large palm-leaf fan in her hand, fanning herself while watching her grandson running around with his friends.
A happy smile appeared on her chubby face, and she would occasionally remind her grandson to run slower.
As soon as Zhang Wenyu parked the car downstairs, Aunt Li came over curiously with a palm-leaf fan in her hand.
He squinted his eyes and looked back and forth between the car and the Zhang family members who had just got off.
"Hey! Lao Zhang, Lao Ding, you two are having a great time! You didn't go to work on Friday, so you went out to play as a family? Hey? Who's driving this car? He looks familiar to me."
As soon as Zhang Wenyu stopped the car, he saw Aunt Li, who was sitting downstairs, following him, and suddenly he felt a black screen in front of his eyes.
Aunt Li is a core member of the gossip organization in her community. She is well-known in her community for her strong curiosity, love of asking questions, and quick talk.
Moreover, Aunt Li has a wide circle of friends. If Aunt Li finds out about someone's family, it will spread throughout half of R City in less than half a day. Therefore, she is one of the most feared aunties in the community.
Zhang Wenyu didn't dare to get off the car at this moment, otherwise Aunt Li, who was curious but couldn't get an answer, would make up eight hundred different weird rumors.
Zhang Wenyu took a deep breath, turned off the car, opened the door and got out, forcing a smile to greet Aunt Li.
"Aunt Li, I'm Wenwen. I haven't been home for over half a year, so I wanted to take advantage of the time when the company is not busy to come and visit. My parents wanted to spend more time with me, so they switched shifts with a colleague and took me out for a walk today. Hey! Is that your grandson over there? He's grown so much in half a year! Look at how tall and strong this child has grown. Aunt Li is really good at raising children!"
Zhang Wenyu gave a thumbs up and praised, trying to divert Aunt Li's attention away from their family.
Aunt Li raised her head proudly, stretched out her hand and called her grandson over. She touched her grandson's head and said proudly.
"I'm not bragging. Zhuangzhuang's mother was born prematurely and has had no milk since giving birth to him. It was me who raised him bit by bit. I raised Zhuangzhuang from a little baby who couldn't even cry, and he is stronger than all the other children in the neighborhood. Everyone who has seen my Zhuangzhuang praises him for being like a calf! So, this woman should get married and have children sooner! Why did my daughter-in-law give birth prematurely? It's because she was too old when she was pregnant with my Zhuangzhuang!"
Zhang Wenyu rolled her eyes secretly as she listened to Aunt Li's words.
Bah! How dare she brag about herself!
Why was her grandson a premature baby? It was because she quarreled with her daughter-in-law every day during her pregnancy, finding fault with her in every way, and finally angered her to the point of giving birth prematurely before the baby was even due!
After her daughter-in-law gave birth, she returned to her parents' home from the hospital and lived there with her son and newborn grandson for more than half a year. Even her grandson's health was taken care of by someone hired by her in-laws.
After her daughter-in-law returned to her parents' home, she ran to her in-laws' home every day with gifts. It took her half a year to invite her daughter-in-law back.
It's only been a few years, and you're already taking credit for yourself.
