As for the north and west wing rooms in the central courtyard, they naturally belonged to Grandma and her younger uncle and aunt.
The side rooms on both sides of the north house should be reserved for Nan Nan. After all, Nan Nan is too close to her grandmother. If she has a child, her grandmother will definitely want to leave the child here.
There are three rooms left in the back row. Xue Mei and Fu Bao should keep two rooms, and leave the other one empty for now.
There's another building outside the central courtyard, named "South-East-West-South-North-South Love the Party," and also occupied by Liu Jin and Duo Duo. Whoever wants to live there can live there.
The outer courtyard was easier to design. The north-facing room belonged to my grandparents, and the west-facing room belonged to my uncle and my parents.
The rear rooms are all decorated as guest rooms, so there's no problem with having many people. There are also three single-story houses in the back corridor.
But what's with the power rating on the dust indicator? Well, that's a problem for the Party to solve.
I have to go to the furniture factory tomorrow. The furniture design and construction need to start. I'll have Southwest bring people over to take measurements first.
When Grandma Yan learned that the eight-courtyard house was going to be renovated, she was overjoyed, thinking that her precious daughter was about to get married.
When I have a few adorable babies, this old lady will finally have something to do.
Yan Xiaoqiang was the most enthusiastic. He had Yan Aidang get a car and took his wife and mother to look at houses. Liu Jin, Fu Bao, Wu Jin Ban, and Duo Duo also happily followed along.
Yan Xiaoqiang felt that the door number on the door was powerful and stylish as soon as he saw it.
Stepping through the gate, I nodded repeatedly. As expected of a former prince's mansion, it exuded grandeur everywhere. Even without renovations, its rustic charm was still very strong.
Yan Xiaoqiang knew that the outer courtyard was prepared for the Ye family. After all, the Ye family had a large number of people and connections, so it would be more convenient for them to come and go from the outer courtyard.
Then let's go to the Intermediate People's Court. After Ai Dang's introduction, Yan Xiaoqiang learned that his mother was still living in the north room and he and Cuihua were still living in the west wing. He nodded in satisfaction.
Especially when they heard that the side rooms on both sides of the north house were reserved for Nan Nan's child, Grandma Yan, Cuihua, and Yan Xiaoqiang all showed satisfied smiles.
Yan Aidang gave Chen'er a thumbs up in his heart. She was a college student who was clear-headed and knew what was important and what was not.
The back room is best given to the eldest daughter-in-law, Chen'er, Xuemei, and Fubao; it's more convenient for the women to take care of the children.
The most important thing for everyone was the inner courtyard, as that was the most crucial part of the renovation.
As soon as they stepped through the hanging flower gate, Liu Jin and Fu Bao clapped and cheered, "What a beautiful place!"
Grandma Yan's eyes welled up with tears. A thousand pieces of gold are easy to find, but a true friend is hard to come by. She was relieved that her precious daughter was able to marry Chenming, who was devoted to her.
Yan Xiaoqiang pointed to the west wing: "Aidang, what are you planning to do with this west wing?"
"We'll build the gym and living room first, and then convert them into children's rooms. We'll decorate one room if there's one child, and two rooms if there are two children."
Cuihua and Yan Xiaoqiang exchanged a glance and nodded in satisfaction: "Then let's make the middle one the living room and the two sides the gyms. It'll be easier to make changes."
Yan Aidang nodded repeatedly: "Uncle is truly farsighted."
Liu Jin cleverly brought a rattan chair to Grandma Yan: "Great-Grandma, sit down. You must be tired from walking so much."
Grandma Yan's feet were indeed a little sore, so she quickly sat down and said, "My Liujin is so smart."
Wu Jin lowered his head. He also thought of moving a stool for his great-grandmother, but Liu Jin was faster than him.
Cuihua watched coldly and gave him five and a half jin for two yuan: "Five and a half jin. When I came over, I saw a general store at the intersection. Go and buy some soda."
Wu Jinban's eyes lit up. He took the money and ran out. Yan Aidang raised his head to a nearby worker, who nodded and followed behind.
Wu Jin bought eight bottles of soda for his grandparents, great-grandmother, himself, Duo Duo, Liu Jin, Fu Bao, and Uncle Ai Dang.
But after buying everything, he realized he couldn't carry it all—he'd forgotten his basket! The shrewd shopkeeper quickly produced a basket.
"Little brother, when you come back to return the bottle later, just bring the basket with you."
Wu Jin was overjoyed and quickly thanked them. He then grabbed the bottle and some change and ran towards the courtyard.
Seeing that the little guy handled things very well on his own, the worker quietly turned around and went back.
Wu Jinban also received praise from his great-grandmother today, and his whole face was beaming with smiles, which made Yan Xiaoqiang feel a little jealous.
This child is too sensitive. Such a personality won't get you anywhere in society; no one will care if you're hurt.
Looking at Liu Jin on the other hand, even though he knew that Wu Jin and Ban were competing for his affection, he still generously accepted the soda: "Thank you, little brother."
After finishing the soda and returning the bottle and basket, it was time to go home. Cuihua helped Grandma Yan into the car.
Liu Jin pestered Grandma Yan: "Great-Grandma, Aunt's house is so beautiful! When is Aunt getting married?"
Yan Aidang laughed: "Liujin, you're not concerned about whether your aunt is getting married or not, you're more concerned about when you're going to move in, aren't you?"
Liu Jin rolled his eyes: "Uncle, they say you should see through things but not say them. I wonder where all the food you've eaten over the years has gone."
Without thinking, Yan Xiaoqiang gave Liu Jin a sharp rap on the head: "How dare you talk to your uncle like that? Don't you have any manners?"
Liu Jin shrank back, realizing he had gotten too cocky: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I spoke without thinking. Please forgive me."
"Why is this kid so slick?" Yan Aidang shook his head. He personally didn't like such a slick and unrestrained child.
There are plenty of shrewd kids in the compound, but they always stick to their principles. They know exactly who can be bullied, who can be teased, and who needs respect.
No one is like Liu Jin, who doesn't know what's important and is self-righteous. He hasn't even grown his feathers yet, but he's already letting himself go.
Liu Jin keenly caught the fleeting displeasure in Yan Aidang's eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he began to reflect.
Although Grandma Yan is old, her eyesight is very good. She pulled Liu Jin over and asked, "Liu Jin, did your father tell you that you should be humble?"
Liu Jin nodded: "Grandma, I really know I was wrong. I will definitely change in the future. Uncle, I'm really sorry. Please punish me."
With Grandma Yan mediating, Yan Aidang just smiled and said, "Grandma, why would I hold a grudge against a child? It's alright."
Grandma Yan nodded, sighing inwardly. This little rascal Liu Jin has really suffered a great loss this time. He'll understand when he's older.
Who is Yan Aidang? He is the only grandson of General Xue Honggen, someone that people would go to great lengths to flatter.
The kid managed to embarrass someone with just one sentence. In Yan Aidang's mind, besides Nan Nan and himself, there are also his parents and grandfather, and oh right, his wife and daughter. He probably doesn't care about anyone else.
But the damage has already been done. Although Yan Aidang won't do anything to Liu Jin, he probably won't lift a finger if anything happens to Liu Jin in the future.
Yan Xiaonan found out about this that very night, but she couldn't do anything about it; it was a matter of environment and upbringing.
She had carefully observed Xue Ying's education of Xiao Liujin. She realized that Xue Ying didn't just care about whether the child was well-fed and watered, but also paid more attention to the education of talent, morality, and interpersonal skills.
