As far as Xu Manman knew, the house her father was assigned had to comply with the housing policy at the time, so the three-story house was occupied by more than a dozen families.
Moreover, most of them are single rooms, which are not enough to accommodate so many people in the family. Some families have even added partitions themselves, and several iron sheds have been built in the original outdoor gardens.
Xu Manman had seen it before, and could vaguely see the shadows of the past on the courtyard wall and the outer wall.
Moreover, the house was rented by their family on their own initiative, which is different from the properties that were returned after rehabilitation. It is not known when they can get it back.
If I want to move back into the house and live there myself in the future, I guess the money from the renovations will be enough to buy a new house.
Xu Manman studied the property brochure carefully and finally decided to keep the house with a swimming pool at No. 5 for her own use. That house should have been occupied by high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen in the past. It not only has two huge courtyards in the front and back, but also has a main building area of nearly 700 square meters, with three floors above ground and one floor underground. The front yard alone is more than 1,000 square meters, not counting the backyard with a swimming pool.
It is more than enough to accommodate a whole family, and the price is not cheap, but compared with later generations, it is simply a bargain.
There are even bigger ones, some of which have a main building area of more than 2,000 square meters. It would be easy for Xu Manman to buy such a house, but there is no need. Such a large house would either be used as a celebrity's former residence exhibition, or used as a hotel, or used as a club. It would be too conspicuous if used for personal use.
Xu Manman didn't want to worry about running the business either. Even though she had the all-powerful fund, she didn't need to worry about it.
She just wants to be an invisible rich person who can lie down and relax, instead of being on the list and being noticed every day.
Xu Manman discussed the decoration style of the western-style building with Xiao Jin. "The overall style should remain unchanged, but the reinforcement of waterproofing, shockproofing and moisture-proofing will probably need to be redone."
Almighty Jin nodded, "Xiao Jin has scanned it. The materials used in the construction of the house are all good. No additional reinforcement is needed. However, the overall moisture-proofing needs to be redone, and the exterior walls need to be cleaned and painted."
“Coming in from the main gate, I wanted a sunshade. The original front yard was planned for parking, but I decided to put it on the underground floor and turn the original parking lot into a glass house.
The basement level will be converted into a parking lot, wine cellar, and storage room. Let's plan six parking spaces first." She can't buy a car now, but after 1990, she'll have both a sports car and a minivan.
"The fireplace in the living room on the first floor should be preserved. I want a sunken sofa where I can curl up and play. I want to connect the second and third floors as much as possible. Each room should be as spacious as possible, and the small balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows should be fully utilized.
There should be enough bathrooms, and... an elevator, and I also want a dressing room and sauna in the backyard."
Xu Manman told Xiao Jin her abstract requirements of the client, and Xiao Jin confirmed with her some details such as the floor material and interior color tone, and then went to the study to make the design drawings.
With such an outstanding party B, Xu Manman only needs to lie down and wait for the results to come out.
When Xiao Jin returned to Hai City and started working without pay, Xu Manman also welcomed the first weekend after school started.
At that time, there was no concept of a two-day weekend, and we only had one day off on Sunday. However, once the elective course schedule was arranged, we would probably have to attend at least half a day of classes on weekends.
As usual, I arrived at the cafeteria around seven o'clock to prepare for breakfast, and saw many tables placed in front of the cafeteria door, and students were hanging banners on the trees on both sides.
The fifth sister, Yang Yang, read the words on the banner. "The school's cultural club is recruiting, the school's Go club is recruiting... and over there, the student union is recruiting. There are so many clubs in the university. They look so interesting. Ladies, which one do you want to join? We can go together."
"I want to try the student union." This is the eldest sister. She has been successfully elected as the vice-monitor of her class and was elected as the dormitory leader with all the votes in the dormitory.
The second child is much more lively now than when he first arrived. "I want to go to the literature club."
The third child doesn't have any particular preference.
The fourth child said, "I practiced calligraphy with my grandfather, but I wonder if I'm qualified enough to join the calligraphy club."
The fifth brother hadn't made a decision yet. He turned to look at the indifferent Xu Manman and asked, "What about you, youngest brother? Which one do you want to go to?"
Xu Manman thought about her previous life when she was in college. She paid her dues and joined the calligraphy club and the street dance club, which held two meetings.
