Chapter 270 Opening the Small Door
Xiao Jinlin's mouth curled up slightly, "What a coincidence, I'm also moving this week."
Chen Xinyue: “?”
By the weekend, she finally understood what Xiao Jinlin meant by moving.
"You, you, you live next door to me?" Chen Xinyue looked here and there in shock and found that the two courtyards were only separated by a wall. If a small door was opened, they could become one family.
Xiao Jinlin was very satisfied with his masterpiece. "It took me a long time to come up with this idea. We can go to and from get off work together in the future, so Uncle Fang doesn't have to run back and forth, right?"
The corners of Chen Xinyue's mouth twitched violently, and for a moment she didn't know whether to praise him or talk about him.
"Aren't you afraid that people in the company will gossip about you?" Chen Xinyue raised her eyebrows.
Xiao Jinlin raised his lips and said confidently, "I have exclusive use of the company's basement. Who do you think will find out?"
Chen Xinyue was silent.
With Xiao Jinlin's help with the move, she didn't have to worry about anything. It only took her one day to move into her new house.
It’s no wonder that having my own independent courtyard not only makes the space larger, but also makes it a lot more convenient to do things.
Because the house is a standard courtyard house, the main courtyard was converted into a living room, with bedrooms on both sides, specially reserved for family members. If Lin Qin and others come over, they can stay in the bedrooms on both sides of the living room.
The bedroom is designed with an independent bathroom, which is very convenient.
The east wing was originally a large central bedroom with two small rooms on the left and right.
Chen Xinyue had three rooms connected together. The middle one was her bedroom, the left was the study, and the right was the bathroom, cloakroom and dressing room. The distribution of space was also adjusted so that the east wing was usually enough for her when she was alone at home.
A public toilet is designed in the corner of the west wing, and beyond it is the kitchen connected to the dining room. Beyond the dining room is another room, which is temporarily used as a utility room to store tools and supplies.
The yard is paved with marble and is clean and tidy. There is a swing and a sunshade on the side. When it is not hot, it is quite comfortable to sit in the yard and drink tea or read a book.
Because she was too excited, she couldn't sleep on the first night after moving into her new home.
I get up before dawn and wander around the yard.
After a while, someone knocked on the door.
She opened the door and saw that it was Xiao Jinlin. She was somewhat shocked. "Why are you here so early?"
Xiao Jinlin raised the breakfast in his hand and said, "It's freshly baked. Do you want to eat it?"
“Yes, yes, yes!” Chen Xinyue hurriedly let him in.
Xiao Jinlin walked into the kitchen with familiarity, and Chen Xinyue hurried over to help.
After spending a few days together in Nanyu, the two of them worked well together and quickly put breakfast on the table.
Xiao Jinlin suggested: "I think we should just open a small door between the two courtyards."
Seeing Chen Xinyue glaring, he immediately defended himself, “Don’t think too much, I mean to open a small door, and when I want to find you or you need to find me, we can just open the small door, so we don’t have to go through the main door and walk a little further.
In addition, I will arrange a cleaning lady here. The place is so small, and the price difference between cleaning one yard and two yards is not much. She can help you with the cleaning, and you only need to pay a small amount. You should be able to calculate this account better than me."
These words really hit the nail on the head for Chen Xinyue. The big house was good in every way except that it was difficult to keep clean. She was busy with work during the day and didn't want to come back after a hard day's work. She had to clean until the middle of the night and was hesitating whether to find a nanny, but she found her pillow when she fell sleepy.
Seeing Chen Xinyue's interest, Xiao Jinlin continued, "Auntie can not only clean the house, but also help look after the house. If there is any movement, she can find it immediately. In addition, Auntie is a good cook."
"Stop, stop. Stop talking. I surrender, okay? Then I'll listen to you. Open the door?"
As soon as Chen Xinyue finished speaking, Xiao Jinlin immediately contacted Tang Ming and asked him to find someone to open the door.
Tang Ming was sleeping soundly when his boss called him. He woke up instantly and answered the phone, "Boss, what are your instructions?"
Xiao Jinlin ordered slowly: "Ask the construction team to come around eight o'clock in the morning and open a small door for my yard."
"Oh?" Tang Ming's eyes widened when he saw the other party hang up. He looked down and saw that it was six o'clock in the morning! Oh my God! His boss was still a man! How could he call his employees so early? Today was a day off!
Tang Ming wanted to die.
At eight o'clock, he appeared in front of Xiao Jinlin with the construction team, full of resentment. Before he could open his mouth, he was stuffed with several red bills.
The attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.
"Boss, where do you want this door to be located and what style it should be made in? If you have any other instructions, please tell me and I will be at your service right away."
Even Xiao Jinlin couldn't stand that attentiveness.
"Be serious. I have no other requirements. Just that this door should open double-sided and can be closed on both sides. Open it in that place."
Tang Ming looked in the direction of Xiao Jinlin's finger and was stunned for a moment, "Wait a minute, if I'm not mistaken, the house next door is Secretary Chen's!"
Tang Ming seemed to have discovered some great secret and jumped up. "Boss! You are not pretending to be serious with Secretary Chen..."
Xiao Jinlin shook his head.
Tang Ming was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could fully let out the breath, he heard Xiao Jinlin speak in a resentful tone, "Xinyue doesn't agree, what do you say we should do?"
"Cough cough cough" Tang Ming almost choked to death on his saliva.
After recovering from the shock, he had to accept the fact that his boss fell in love with Secretary Chen, but Secretary Chen did not accept it.
So Tang Ming spent the whole morning in a daze.
It wasn't until the construction worker came to him to settle the bill that he woke up from his dream.
Through the small door, you can just see Chen Xinyue sitting under the swing, drinking tea and reading a book.
The woman took off her work clothes and had long curly hair. It was still a bit cold in the spring morning. She was wearing a white corduroy dress that reached her ankles. The white fluff on the collar made her already delicate face look like porcelain, so beautiful that it was glowing.
Chen Xinyue noticed a pair of scrutinizing eyes and looked up.
Tang Ming smiled awkwardly at her and greeted her quickly.
Chen Xinyue put down the book in her hand and walked over wearing wool slippers, "Assistant Tang, why are you grinning?"
Tang Ming: “.”
After realizing his boss's thoughts, Tang Ming became much more polite towards Chen Xinyue and no longer dared to be as casual as before.
Chen Xinyue didn't think much about it. After asking about the construction costs, she resolutely shared half of it.
With this door, it is indeed much more convenient for the two to interact. During the day, when Chen Xinyue is at work, this door is open and the aunt will come over to help clean and wash her clothes.
I would prepare a snack for her when she got home from get off work.
Things at home are arranged in an orderly manner, and if something breaks, they will be fixed proactively, so she doesn't need to worry about anything.
She only needs to pay 3,000 yuan in salary, and the bulk of it is paid by Xiao Jinlin, so the cost-effectiveness is very high.
