Everyone was speechless, but Cuihua had a sudden inspiration: "Big sister, you saw it today, many of the dishes were made by Chen'er. What a coincidence that this girl is."
Xue Ying gave Ye Chen'er an approving look and said, "Chen'er is really good. If Ai Dang bullies you in the future, just tell me and I'll beat him up."
Ye Chen'er finally felt relieved. She knew that her future mother-in-law had accepted her. She would come once a week to cook some delicious meals for her future in-laws.
After lunch, Chen'er and Nan Nan were washing dishes in the kitchen, while Da Qiang and Xue Ying were arranging the ginseng: "Da Qiang, we're going to the old man's house tonight. By the way, can we take Nan Nan with us?"
Yan Daqiang shook his head: "Nannan is still young. Let her study hard. The choice she makes in the future is in her own hands. We can't interfere."
Just kidding, if Nan Nan were conscripted by the old man, his own mother would chop him up and feed him to Zhong Nan.
Xue Ying was initially confused. Conscription was a good thing, and her old man would be conscripting soldiers himself, which would lead to a bright future. But seeing Nan Nan's appearance today, and how much her mother and Cui Hua doted on Cui Hua, she realized that if it were her, she wouldn't have let Nan Nan go to the army either.
There are many paths to take, so why choose such a difficult one, especially for a beautiful young girl? It's not a good thing.
Xue Ying had to go to work in the afternoon. There was a surgery to discuss at the hospital, and she had to be there. Everyone else went to the alley entrance with Yan Daqiang. Yan Xiaonan was very excited. She had already seen the contents of the envelope. It turned out that her uncle had bought her a small, basic courtyard house with an area of 500 square meters.
The property certificate clearly states Yan Xiaonan's name. Yan Xiaonan finds it strange; shouldn't it be Yan Xiaoqiang's? Grandma shakes her head, saying that raising a child is a responsibility, but how the child lives after they grow up is up to you.
The group walked about 300 meters into the alley. There were two large black doors in the southeast corner, each with an iron chain on the brass door knocker. A large padlock hung below the two chains. Baoguo took out the key, unlocked the padlock, and immediately stepped back.
Yan Xiaonan and Grandma Yan exchanged a glance, then pushed open the two doors together. A brand new world unfolded before their eyes. A screen wall stood two meters away from the courtyard gate, blocking the view from the entrance.
Passing the screen wall, there is a large courtyard in the middle, with a round stone table and stools on one side, and houses all around, connected by covered walkways.
This is a courtyard with one entrance, shaped like the Chinese character "口". The main courtyard is higher at the top and lower at the bottom, with a spacious central courtyard. There are side rooms on both sides, and the main gate is on one side. Next to the gate is a side room. The courtyard is full of flowers and plants, lush and verdant, presenting a prosperous and thriving scene.
Yan Xiaonan led Grandma Yan into the main house. The room was filled with sunlight, which made people feel happy: "Grandma, this is the best room in the courtyard. From now on, it belongs to you."
Just as Grandma Yan was about to say something, Yan Xiaonan added, "Grandma, I live in the side room next to yours, so you and your grandson can live together now." Hearing that they could live together, Grandma Yan's eyes crinkled with a smile.
Yan Xiaonan then pointed to the west wing and said, "Mom and Dad, why don't you live in the west wing?"
Yan Xiaoqiang nodded hurriedly, pulled Cuihua into the room, and went to see their residence. The west wing had three rooms, with the middle one being the living room and two rooms of about 20 square meters each on either side.
“Cuihua, let’s live in this room. The middle room is the main room. How about Nannan sets up an embroidery area for you near the main room? It will be convenient for me to sew clothes when I come over.”
Cuihua was overjoyed, and she had already planned out how to design and arrange the room in her mind.
Yan Aidang walked in: "Auntie, tell me your requirements. I'm a designer at an architectural firm now, and I'll help you design the renovation."
Yan Xiaoqiang nodded repeatedly, feeling very reassured about entrusting the house to Ai Dang, and then proceeded to explain his requirements.
Ye Chen'er, Yan Xiaonan, and Grandma also came over. Yan Aidang quickly asked her requirements. Yan Xiaonan nodded: "Brother Aidang, my requirements for the house decoration are very simple: the environment should be beautiful, the air should be fresh, the living should be convenient, and the facilities should be complete."
Yan Xiaoqiang felt that his daughter had spoken to his heart. A college student is a college student. What she said was simple yet clear, unlike him, who said a lot but Yan Aidang still couldn't understand.
Yan Aidang nodded: "Nannan, if we want a beautiful environment, we should add more greenery and design the furniture to be simple and elegant. The air will be fresher with more greenery. Also, you just need to ensure air circulation. As for convenient living and complete facilities, that depends on the design. I'll draw up a design when I get back."
The main house is on the north side, warm in winter and cool in summer, with plenty of sunshine, perfect for Grandma. There are two side rooms on either side of the main house; you can live in the west-facing one, so you'll be closer to your aunt and uncle. The east-facing one can stay empty until you get married and have your baby.
Yan Xiaonan~
Grandma Yan nodded repeatedly, "My darling should also have a darling baby, and it would be best if the baby lived in the side room next to mine."
As Yan Aidang spoke, he pointed out the rooms to everyone. He had gone through a lot of trouble to find this courtyard house, and he was very familiar with every room.
"Nan Nan, you should let your uncle and aunt live in the west wing. The east wing is too cold in winter and too warm in summer, so it's not suitable for living. Let's use it as a kitchen, dining room and bathroom. Anyway, the toilet is over there, so the living facilities will be concentrated here. I'll show you the blueprints later."
We don't need the rear-facing rooms for now, so how about we design them as guest rooms? We can design three or four guest rooms, so that people from the southeast, southwest, and north will have a place to stay.
Yan Xiaonan was thinking about whether every room could have a bathroom, but that was impossible at the moment. She could only nod and say, "Brother Ai Dang, I'll listen to you. But what about the winter and summer here? Is it cold or hot?"
Yan Aidang gave a thumbs up: "We can install radiators in winter. I've already contacted someone, and they'll be installed in the next couple of days. Nan Nan, should we install them in every room, or just the main rooms? Installing radiators only requires paying the cost price, but the monthly heating bill isn't cheap."
“Brother Ai Dang, install it all, otherwise it won’t meet the requirement of convenient living.” Yan Xiaonan answered without hesitation.
Yan Aidang understood. She guessed that her little cousin was someone who didn't lack money. Looking at the things they gave her, more than 80% of them were prepared by this little girl. No wonder her proud mother was now trying every means to lure Nannan into her home and even wanted to be her godmother.
"Chen'er, would it be alright if you stayed in the room on the other side of the main house?" Yan Xiaonan suddenly asked.
