The courtyard wall is about 1.8 meters high. Like Xu Jianguo's current home, it is made of red bricks, but there is no hollow design on it, so people who are slightly shorter cannot see inside from outside the courtyard.
When everyone walked into the courtyard, the first thing that caught their eyes was the layout of the courtyard.
On the east side of the courtyard, there are six not very tall trees. Because it is winter, the branches are bare and look lifeless.
Under the west wall of the yard, there is a stone table. On top of the stone table is a frame made of a wooden house. Some vines are wrapped around the frame, giving people a feeling of withered vines, old trees and crows.
But despite this, Xu Jianguo recognized it as a grape vine at a glance.
At this time, a logistics officer came up to introduce: "Captain, those six trees on the east side are fruit trees. They are apple trees, peach trees, and pomegranate trees. Although the house has been empty for many years, we often send people to take care of them, and they still produce a lot of fruit every year. And the vine on the west side is a Kyoho grape vine."
Xu Jianguo nodded, turned to look at Daya beside him and said with a smile: "Daya, did you hear that?"
"Ah?" Daya looked at Xu Jianguo with a naive expression, not knowing why her brother asked her that.
"What? Didn't anyone say there was a pomegranate tree in the yard?"
"I heard it!"
"Do you know what the pomegranate tree means?"
Daya shook her head.
"In the eyes of us Longxia people, pomegranate is a fruit that symbolizes many children and good fortune. Now that we have the tree, the rest depends on you and Hong Tao!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
It was not until then that the whole family understood what he meant and they all laughed happily.
Daya and Lin Hongtao looked at each other with red faces, and actually nodded vigorously, which caused another burst of laughter in the yard.
At this time, Lele suddenly asked, "Uncle, where does that door on the wall lead to?"
Everyone looked in the direction Lele pointed, and then they noticed that there was an iron gate on the courtyard wall on the east side of the two-story building.
"Oh, that's the east wing of this small building, which is used exclusively for the guards and messengers to live in!"
When Zhao Changshan and Liu Yang heard this, they immediately became interested and looked in the direction of the door several times.
After looking at the situation in the yard, the group walked towards the small building.
The exterior walls of the small building were also made of red bricks, but Xu Jianguo could see through his omniscient eyes that the construction quality of this house was very good. The walls were actually the same as the house he had lived in at the Dawali base, using a 3:7 wall structure, which means the wall thickness reached 37 centimeters.
A young cadre opened the door with a key and everyone walked into the small building.
The first thing that catches your eye is the dark red wooden floor and a living room that is much larger than your current home.
According to the introduction, there are three rooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a bathroom and a storage room on the first floor of this small building.
In addition to a bathroom and a storage room, the second floor also has six separate rooms.
If you add them all together, there are nine rooms. Even if Xu Jianguo converts one of them into a study in the future, it will be enough for the children in the family to live in.
At this time, Erya, Funiu and Lele could no longer contain their excitement after listening to the introduction, and they all looked at Xu Jianguo.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look. Each of us has a room, and no quarreling!"
"Okay!" Several children said in unison, and then ran upstairs. Seeing that his second sister and aunts had run away, Xu Ping'an suddenly became anxious and pulled his brother to follow.
Even Lin Hongxia was not left behind and was directly dragged away by Erya and Funiu.
Looking at the happy faces of the children, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
Afterwards, Xu Jianguo, Wen Sitian and Daya and her husband started watching on the first floor.
He also sent Zhao Changshan and Liu Yang out and asked them to go to the next courtyard to check out where they would live in the future. If they found any problems, they could ask the logistics staff to come and repair them in time.
About half an hour later, everyone gathered in the living room on the first floor again. The whole family was very satisfied with this house.
And just now, when Xu Jianguo saw the storage room, he learned that this house actually had a basement, and the stairs leading to the basement were hidden under the stairwell.
At this time, the children had already chosen their own rooms. Erya, Funiu, Wenwen, Lele, Ping'an and Lin Hongxia, exactly six people, each with a room. There were two bedrooms facing the sun on the first floor. One was Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian's room, and the other was used as a guest room, and would also be the room where Daya would recuperate after childbirth. As for the other slightly smaller room, it naturally became Xu Jianguo's study.
In addition to the layout of the small building, Xu Jianguo also specifically asked the two cadres about the facilities here. When he learned that the heating installed in the house was not central heating and he needed to burn coal himself, he was not surprised.
After all, this little thing was not a problem for him at all. When the whole family was in Dawali, he built a small boiler in his yard. At most, he could just burn more coal.
Wen Sitian didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He believed that Xu Jianguo could solve all the problems.
The couple had previously discussed the issue of housing.
