Near the entrance to the children's room is a sofa for two people with their backs facing the door.
Two two-meter-long coffee tables are placed side by side in front of the sofa.
Aunt Wang didn't dare to speak loudly. "Xiao Jiang, a hall like this, no, a living room, is really a great place to entertain guests!"
Mother Zhou could only nod.
"Let's go upstairs and take a look. Aunt Wang, you're in for a treat! I'll lock all the doors upstairs on the day of the housewarming."
"Really? I'd like to admire it."
On the second floor, there is a 1.5-meter-wide walkway, which is actually the eaves of the first floor.
The walkway was paved with light-colored tiles, smooth and clean. Aunt Wang looked at the soles of her shoes and said, "Zhou Xiang! How am I going to clean this place from now on?"
Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "There are hand-woven carpets at the top and bottom of the stairs. They only need to be cleaned every few days. If I feel lazy, I'll pay you, Aunt Wang, to help me."
"That's great! I can earn money and admire the buildings at the same time. How great!"
There were three doors in the hallway. Zhou Xiang pushed one open at random and said, "Come in!"
The dining room is right at the entrance, with a dining table and chairs for six.
Opposite the dining room is the kitchen with an aluminum alloy sliding door and a U-shaped six-meter workbench.
There is a kitchen sink under the south window. There is nothing else. The kitchen sink is installed as a precaution. What if the family suddenly separates and the fire starts? What if I need to wash some fruit?
The north wall of the kitchen is planned to be used to place a liquefied gas stove. However, the worktops are solid and have no fixed position, so you can put it wherever you like.
Aunt Wang wiped the tiles on the worktop and said, "Zhou Xiang, these tiles are really good. They are easy to clean."
"Yeah! It's easy to clean, and there won't be any old grease on the stove."
Outside the north wall of the kitchen was a staircase. Aunt Wang was surprised, "Staircases are here?"
"You'll understand when you go up and see it later."
Next to the stairs is the bathroom door facing south. This bathroom is not separated, and washing, bathing and going to the toilet are all integrated.
"A toilet? This thing is expensive, right?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Two months' salary."
The west wall of the bathroom is where the TV cabinet is placed. Opposite the TV cabinet is a 123 sofa and a two-meter coffee table.
Going up to the third floor, Aunt Wang saw a space as big as the second floor and smiled, "I understand. This is not a public staircase, it's the staircase of this building."
"Yes, it's called a duplex, also called a building within a building."
"Why are you bothering with this?"
"This way we can separate and reunite! If we separate, we can each live on the second and third floors. If we reunite, we can all go to the first floor to eat."
"You're preparing for a rainy day."
"Thinking further ahead is the right thing to do."
When you reach the third floor, the first thing that catches your eye is the cloakroom. The cloakroom is opposite the stairs. The space between the two can be used as a small living room. However, Zhou Xiang did not buy furniture. You can just buy various small furniture in the future!
It pays to use good wood to make large furniture.
When he couldn't push the door open, Zhou Yu guessed that it was time to open it. He opened the door and was faced with a row of grids, where clothes were folded and hung.
There is a small door on the right. Push it open and you will see the bathroom. The bathroom is not small and can be separated into dry and wet areas. Zhou Xiang doesn't want to worry about it because he doesn't have the skills.
Aunt Wang saw the hidden bathroom again and praised Zhou Xiang for his smart mind and for being able to think of such a solution.
Zhou thought, haha, with the information explosion in the future, what is there?
To the south of the cloakroom is the door to the second bedroom, which contains three standard pieces of furniture: a bed, a dressing table, and a wardrobe.
There is a floor-to-ceiling window on the south wall and a balcony outside with aluminum alloy windows, so the room is very bright.
After exiting the second bedroom door, the master bedroom door is on the right. The master bedroom is larger than the second bedroom by the width of this door, and it also comes with three standard pieces of furniture.
The floor-to-ceiling windows are the same as those in the second bedroom.
On the north side of the stairs, there is a door facing the cloakroom. Behind the door is the study. Facing the door is a large desk, which is an imitation of the boss's desk, and there are two more chairs. It is great for studying together.
Behind the desk is a large bookshelf against the wall, which does not reach the ceiling. Zhou Xiang felt that he might not be able to save enough books to fill such a bookshelf in his lifetime, so he did not call it the ceiling. It would be nice to place some green ivy on the top.
Green radish, where are you?
After the visit, Aunt Wang sighed with envy, "If I could live in a house like this in my lifetime, I would have no regrets."
"Auntie Wang, why don't you go to the county town and buy one? There are pre-sale houses now. Just pay a down payment and repay the money monthly."
Aunt Wang shook her head. "I won't buy it. Wang Zhan is in the city, and those two are just girls. There's no need. Your uncle Wang and I are going to die of old age in this market town."
Zhou Xiang really wanted to tell her that he could sell it at a high price after buying it, but he was afraid of causing conflict among the three siblings of the Wang family, so he decided to give up!
"Mom, what's your idea? Is it worth it?"
Mother Zhou nodded. "It's worth it! Without the aluminum alloy windows, this style wouldn't be achieved."
"Okay! My mom already knows about style. I'm counting on you for the curtains, sheets, and quilt covers. Once the curtains are all made, I'll find someone to install them. I'll make quilt covers for five apartments, which means 20 sets for ten beds. And make an appointment with the cotton fluffer for the quilts."
Seeing his mother's hesitation, Zhou Yu said, "Auntie Wang and I will take care of the child. Tang Mei just needs to make some soup. You can take your time! Isn't your sister planning to move around December?"
Chen Ou, who had been playing the invisible man, also said: "Yes! Take your time. We do have to make a lot of things here. Buying others' will not suit your taste."
Mother Zhou finally nodded, "Okay! Curtains are necessary, we need to make them first. Ask Zhu Hang to measure the dimensions, and then we can make as many quilt covers as we want!"
"Mom, you cut it out. I'll use the sewing machine when I'm free. It's very quick."
"OK!"
With her little girl's words, Zhou's mother felt relieved. Her little girl works quickly.
After going downstairs, we went to see the playroom again. Chen Ou and Zhou Yu were very happy and kept saying that this was a good place. After the children could crawl and run, they would have a place to play. However, because it was covered with carpet, we did not go in.
Zhou Yu looked at the peach tree standing in the playhouse. Many branches had been sawed off the trunk, and the crown of the tree was on the glass roof.
"Sister, why don't you cut down this peach tree? Or transplant it?"
"This is a memorial for my elder brother and me, a memorial for our old courtyard."
"Can you still live like this?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "He will definitely survive."
It must be able to survive. At worst, we can give it some well water to drink. As long as it doesn't become a spirit, that's fine.
"Other people's peach trees grow horizontally, but the ones you and your brother planted grow vertically."
"It has to be! It can't grow like this. For the sake of the babies, it has to move or be sacrificed."
"You keep talking nonsense all day long. How can this tree understand?"
"Who knows?"
Aunt Wang said, "This tree passing through the house really makes it unique. I just wonder if the branches inside the house will still bloom or bear fruit."
Zhou Xiang imagined it and couldn't help but smile: "The result is pretty good. The children are drooling just looking at the fruit."
