Chapter 251 Moving to a New Home
Due to the limitations of the times, there is no such thing as fine decoration these days. Decorating a house basically means painting the walls white, compacting the ground with soil, or spending some money to level it with cement, and then putting the furniture and appliances in place, and then it's all done.
Knowing that Su Lingyu had high requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation, Huo Yan was very attentive when decorating the house.
He did some research and found out that in addition to using cement to level the floor or making terrazzo floors, there is a new type of home building material called "ceramic tiles" in Guangzhou that seems to be good.
He asked someone to buy a batch of ceramic tiles and laid them on the floor of the house. It was bright and easy to keep clean.
Qin Zhen and her friends also took a fancy to ceramic tiles, but after asking about the price, they all declined and chose the cement floor with the best cost-effectiveness.
Huo Yan paved the front and back yards of his new home with large, smoothly cut bluestone bricks.
This way, whether it is sunny or rainy, your shoes will not get dirty when you walk in the yard, and they will be clean.
There is a separate bathroom in the yard, which is also equipped with a water heater.
If you think the water heater is too slow, the bathroom is close to the kitchen, so it is convenient to carry water there.
The bathroom has also been renovated. Although it is a squat toilet, the water and flushing are very convenient. The excrement can be directly flushed into the underground septic tank outside the courtyard wall. The user experience is no worse than a flush toilet and is much more comfortable than the dry toilet in the countryside.
Knowing Su Lingyu's preferences, he also bought a five-year-old osmanthus and planted it in the yard. When it blooms, the rich fragrance of osmanthus will surely be refreshing.
A wooden frame was built under the tree, and a few grape vines were planted in a large water tank on one side. When the vines climbed up the frame, it would become a natural sunshade.
When the grapes are ripe, it is very pleasant to sit under the tree, enjoy the cool air, and eat sweet and juicy grapes.
Of course, a swing must be hung on the shelf.
It's not the wooden kind, but the soft rattan hammock that you see in the mountains.
Su Lingyu provides free medical services on weekends and occasionally passes by the Nanjiao base. If she has time, she will visit the new home to check on the progress.
Every little change in the new home makes her extremely happy, and she feels a kind of "nurturing" happiness.
But the first time she saw the hammock hanging on the grape-wood rack, she glared at Huo Yan angrily and cursed him as "having ulterior motives".
The events of her birthday night still seem ridiculous to her.
After the hard decoration, it is the soft decoration.
Su Lingyu refused to have new furniture in the room, fearing that the paint smell would be too strong and not good for the newborn baby. She asked Huo Yan to get some second-hand solid wood furniture, focusing on environmental protection and durability.
What she didn't know was that according to the preferences of that era, the whole set of brand new furniture that was carefully prepared for her as a new house gift was painted brown-red, which looked festive and elegant at first glance.
But once she made this request, the new furniture had to go into the warehouse and collect dust.
Of course, Su Lingyu was very satisfied with the furniture that was finally delivered to the new house.
As for the bedding and window curtains, Su Lingyu drew the drawings and selected the materials herself, and then gave them to Xu's Tailor Shop to make them. The finished products turned out very beautiful.
Su Lingyu's new house was renovated at a very fast pace. In order to move into their own house as soon as possible and not pay rent for a rental house, Qin Zhen and his family were not so particular about the decoration, so the renovation was even faster.
Another month passed, and it was October, the golden autumn. Su Lingyu and a few others agreed to hold a moving party and house-warming ceremony together on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
…
The 15th day of the eighth lunar month.
Before this day, Huo Yan had been training at the Nanjiao military camp for nearly a month.
In order to spend more time with the pregnant Su Lingyu, he traveled back and forth between the barracks and home every day for the past month. It can be said that he worked day and night, but he enjoyed it.
Here in the South Suburbs Base, several scientific research institutes have already started work, and the residential area has been occupied early, adding a lot of popularity.
When Su Lingyu and his family moved, they attracted some onlookers from their neighbors.
Qin Zhen and the other families lived in a bungalow, which was not spacious enough, so they had their meals in Su Lingyu's yard.
There was not so much to be elaborate at this time, and there was no need to bother giving each other gifts. Several families shared the cost of purchasing food and drinks and had a meal together as a moving party.
In other words, it's lively and bustling.
In the kitchen, Jiang Yufeng and Gu Yanying were in charge of cooking, each of them was responsible for preparing several dishes. Although Qin Yuelan's cooking skills were not very good, she had no problem preparing dishes, so she was responsible for helping out.
In addition to the hot dishes that were cooked on the spot, the dexterous Chen Lingling also brought some homemade bean curd and brined pork, which would be sliced and served as cold dishes.
An hour later, the food was almost done.
Jiang Yufeng came out and shouted "Dinner is ready", Qin Zhen and Wang Yiling hurried to move, and also brought Chen Lingling along.
Those who serve the dishes serve the dishes, and those who serve the rice serve the rice.
A long cord led out of the room with a power strip. After it was connected to the power supply, the electric fan was turned to the highest setting. The yard, which was still filled with the residual heat, suddenly became cooler, so that people could eat spicy dishes without worrying about the spiciness.
After dinner, Qin Zhen and others were busy cleaning up the dishes, the men sat in the yard chatting, and Su Lingyu and Jiang Yufeng sat under the grape trellis and talked about the topic of acupuncture anesthesia.
The topic of acupuncture anesthesia has been studied for a long time and was finally successfully completed last month. What we need to do now is to summarize and conclude so that this medical skill can form a system suitable for learning.
After talking about work, Jiang Yufeng mentioned Chen Lingling: "Lingyu, Chen Lingling from the Chen family wants to buy a store to do some business. What do you think?"
"Do business?" Su Lingyu asked, "What kind of business does she want to do, and in what field?"
"She hasn't decided what to do specifically, but she told Lao Chen that she wanted to buy a shop in the row of storefronts in the family area to find something to do. Lao Chen wanted her to follow you and become a trainer in the sensory integration training camp, but she refused." Jiang Yufeng said, "Why don't you go and persuade her?"
Many research institutes and research institutes will be moved to the Nanjiao base, and even the Chunan Police Station has moved here... Su Lingyu doesn't understand why the police station has also moved here, but it is true that the population here will increase in the future.
With so many people needing clothes and food, it would be troublesome to go to the city to buy everything, so the Nanjiao base built a row of storefronts outside the residential area.
In this row of storefronts, in addition to some state-owned units such as the supply and marketing cooperatives and the post office, there are more than a dozen shops. The base encourages individuals to run businesses and become self-employed.
Chen Lingling was attracted by the storefront there and wanted to start a small business.
Su Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "No matter what Chen Lingling wants to do, I actually support her. If she does a good market research beforehand and gets the direction of opening a store right, she will definitely make money."
The system suddenly popped up: [Host, making money is secondary. If Chen Lingling has something she wants to do and rekindles her passion for life, she probably won't want to die so much.]
Su Lingyu was shocked: […What do you mean Chen Lingling doesn’t really want to die? ]
The system said in a baby voice: [It means exactly what it says. ]
[Chen Lingling was so miserable, she was cheated once and again, you don’t think her heart is indestructible, and those things have no effect on her, right? ]
[You humans seem to attach great importance to women's chastity, even to the point of being perverted. After Chen Lingling returned to Chenjia Lane, the neighbors pointed and talked about her behind her back, which was a secondary trauma to her.]
[A few months ago, she was almost sold to a poor family... Anyway, it's not easy for her to keep smiling now! ]
Hearing this, Su Lingyu was very worried: [How can we help her? How can we completely dispel her thoughts of suicide? Should we support her in opening a shop and starting a business?]
