Chapter 67 Jiang's Father is Hospitalized
Jiang Haibing said irritably, "What do you mean 'fast'? It's almost Chinese New Year, and you've been renovating your house for two months already. What more do you want? To keep dragging it out?"
"My money didn't grow on trees."
Jiang Haibing had promised to cover all material and labor costs when he wanted to use Jiang Jiani's house as a model home for interior design.
Jiang Jianni wasn't that greedy; she bought the materials herself, but Jiang Haibing paid for the labor.
To finish decorating Jiang Jiani's house, he used at least five workers for carpentry and wall painting.
He had just started his business and hadn't yet picked up the bad habits of capitalists. He was quite generous with his wages, paying people ten yuan a day.
At least three people work on the construction site every day, and in two months, they have earned more than a thousand yuan in wages alone.
If it drags on for another month, it will cost several hundred more.
Even if he hadn't bought a house there, spending over a thousand yuan in two months would still be painful for him, let alone the fact that he had already invested all his money in a house in Beijing.
Of course, finishing as soon as possible will save money.
Jiang Jianni said with a smile, "Thank you, big brother. You've worked hard."
"I'm going to look at houses right now."
Lu Xiangyang's cast hadn't been removed yet, so the brother and sister pushed him around to see the newly renovated house.
Jiang Haibing is a very good older brother.
Not only was the work meticulous and thorough, strictly adhering to Jiang Jiani's requirements and the highest quality standards, but after the renovation was completed, not only were the remaining garbage removed, but a special post-construction cleaning service was also hired. Not only the glass floors and walls, but even the nooks and crannies were cleaned until they shone brightly.
Before Jiang Jianni could react after the door opened, Lu Xiangyang was stunned: "This, this, how come it's different from other people's houses?"
"Where's the wainscoting? Why isn't there any wainscoting?"
Jiang Jianni: "Why do we need wainscoting? Don't you think it's too expensive? Isn't it neat and tidy like this?"
In the past, wainscoting was simply painted green or blue up to one meter high.
In recent years, people have become wealthier and more willing to spend money, so painted wainscoting has been replaced by wooden wainscoting.
The wealthier a family is, the more wooden decorations they have in their home.
This includes, but is not limited to, door and window frames, wooden ceilings, and wooden wainscoting.
Jiang Jianni found it jarring to look at and didn't think the rich and elegant style was attractive at all.
She prefers the creamy style, but since she can't make the creamy style now, she had to switch to the natural wood style.
The natural wood style is also nice, especially since she chose light-colored walnut wood.
The gray color scheme and minimalist furniture immediately set the house apart from the monotonous decor of other homes.
Looking around, Lu Xiangyang felt like this wasn't his own home. He sighed and said, "Our house is even more stylish than those hotels."
It has no colors, no expensive decorations, and even the furniture is flat with no carvings or patterns, but it still looks very stylish.
Jiang Haibing's only question was about the TV cabinet: "Jiani, why did you have to make the TV cabinet so low?"
"With such a low TV cabinet, when you buy a TV and put it on it in the future, won't you have to crane your neck to see it?"
Jiang Jianni rolled her eyes at him: "Still craning your neck to look? Do you think I'm a giraffe?"
"If I'm going to buy a TV, I'll definitely buy a big one. What's the point of buying a 17 or 18-inch TV? It'll just ruin your eyes."
Her eyes are supposed to last another ten or twenty years; they can't be ruined now.
Jiang Haibing laughed: "You still want to buy a big TV? You can't even afford a small TV, and you still want a big TV? Do you know how much a big TV costs?"
Jiang Jianni looked down at Lu Xiangyang in his wheelchair: "Xiangyang, what kind of TV do you think we should buy for our future?"
Lu Xiangyang pondered for a moment: "I heard that the largest TVs nowadays are 27 inches. I'll ask around and see where I can buy one."
Having lived together for such a short time, he had come to understand Jiang Jiani quite well.
She doesn't need a lot of things, but they must be of high quality and excellent.
For example, clothes.
Except for a few items, many of them were made by her own.
And she also really enjoys making clothes.
She made it not only for herself and for Lu Xiangyang, but also for the Lu family elders.
The elderly couple from the Lu family made Tang suits and cheongsams.
Lu's mother can't wear her cheongsam now, but Lu's father plans to wear his Tang suit during the Chinese New Year.
The clothes were bought for the Jiang family's elderly couple.
It's not that Jiang Jianni is unwilling to make clothes, but rather that these two prefer to buy clothes, feeling that store-bought clothes are more stylish and fashionable.
Since clothes we wear regularly are like this, things like televisions, which can be used for many years, naturally need to be of good quality as well.
In her words, she believes in getting things done the first time and not wasting any more money.
Otherwise, if you buy a small 17- or 18-inch TV, use it for three to five years, and then replace it with a larger one, wouldn't you have to spend the money twice?
This statement is somewhat illogical, but Lu Xiangyang agrees with it.
Because this really saves a lot of trouble.
Jiang Haibing glared at Lu Xiangyang speechlessly: "Fine, go ahead and spoil your own wife as much as you want. Let's see how spoiled you become in the future."
If this guy spoils Jiang Jianni and then complains about her and wants a divorce, he won't care what her family does or whether he's a hero; he'll beat her up.
Jiang Jianni angrily stomped on Jiang Haibing: "What are you saying? Huh? What are you saying?"
"You're spoiling me rotten, do you think I'm a child?"
Jiang Haibing immediately jumped up and ran away: "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and see if it's okay. If there are any problems, before they go home for the New Year, have them come over and fix it for us."
"Otherwise, they'll be going home for the Chinese New Year."
Even though the house had already been renovated once, and Jiang Jianni had been on-site every day to oversee the process, she still couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"I don't think it's a big deal. We can just leave it empty for a while and then move it over."
Jiang Haibing was puzzled: "Wouldn't it be about time after the New Year? How much longer do you want it to be vacant?"
Jiang Jianni rolled her eyes at him: "We can only move in after the paint smell is gone."
"By the way, how's your renovation company doing? Are you able to get the license?"
Jiang Haibing shook his head dejectedly: "If we can't get off, so be it. I'll lead them to work for now, and we'll talk about it again when the policies are relaxed."
In previous years, it was easy to obtain a business license for sole proprietorships, but now that the market is chaotic, policies in this area have been tightened.
Although Jiang Haibing works in decoration, not selling clothes or shoes, it's not easy for him to get the necessary permits.
Lu Xiangyang asked, "How about I ask around for you later?"
Jiang Haibing refused: "No need, no need."
"I haven't even assembled my team yet, so I'm not in a rush. Let's see if we can get any business first."
"Get the job first, then we'll talk about other things."
"Otherwise, if there are no jobs, the license will be useless even if it's issued."
This is why Jiang Haibing wasn't in a hurry; otherwise, he would have already asked someone for help.
He knows just as many people as Lu Xiangyang does.
After viewing the house, the three decided to go for hot pot. Jiang Jianni said excitedly, "I heard that it's very popular every day. We don't even know if we'll get a turn if we go now."
Before the door was even locked, they saw Jiang Yanni running around, covered in sweat.
As soon as Jiang Yanni saw them, she hurriedly said, "Big brother, second sister, Dad, Dad has been taken to the hospital."
"What?!" X3
