053: This is our new home
Yu Jiahui pointed happily at the fenced courtyard:
"That should be it, come and have a look!"
The three of them walked quickly towards the courtyard.
From a distance, the courtyard looked dilapidated and desolate, with a row of small mud houses standing there crookedly. The outer walls of the houses were bumpy, the grass on the roof was rotten and black, and the doors and windows were crooked. The whole shape gave Yu Xiaoye the first impression of a broken cream cake.
However, despite its decline, it doesn't look scary at all, nor is it as eerie and terrifying as described in the stories.
In short, it was not as scary as they imagined, but rather friendly, much like a well-preserved old house in a mountain tourist attraction.
When I got closer and saw it more clearly, I found that although the house was dilapidated, it was still possible to tell that it was once a nice courtyard.
On both sides of the yard, one side should be a chicken coop, but half of it has collapsed.
There is a kitchen on the other side, and the chimney on the roof looks shaky.
Most of the surrounding fences had collapsed.
But the whole yard still exudes a quaint and quiet pastoral scene.
Yu Jiahui immediately fell in love with this small courtyard and rushed in, saying with a smile on his face:
"It looks great, very similar to my rural home when I was a child, Xiaoye. My father lived in a house like this when he was a child. Looking at this place, it feels like I'm back in my childhood.
If we clean it up properly, it will be pretty good.
Although this place is not as advanced as our homes in the 21st century, it is close to nature, has a wide view, good air, and no exhaust pollution. Isn’t this the holiday villa we have always wanted?
Look, there is a small woods next to it, a river behind it, and you can see a small hill when you look up. What a great feng shui!
Look at our yard, it's big enough. When the time comes, we can grow vegetables and raise chickens. We can eat vegetables we grow ourselves, chickens we raise ourselves, and eggs we lay ourselves. It's green and pollution-free. Isn't that great? "
While running around in the yard, Yu Jiahui painted a pastoral scene for the mother and daughter: "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely seeing the southern mountains."
Yu Xiaoye also said:
"Yes, and look, there are no houses around here. We can tinker with something in private without the neighbors watching us. It's really convenient."
Among the three people, only Xu Ying still had a helpless attitude. She chose this place not because she liked it, but because she had no choice.
It's definitely not that bad, but it's not that good either.
It was really hard for her to imagine how such a dilapidated place could be turned into a new home with a sense of life.
The family of three looked around the yard and then turned their gaze towards the main hall.
There are four main rooms in total, with a door in every two rooms.
There were two doors, one was ajar and the other was half open.
I don’t know in which room the girl hanged herself.
When they thought about this, the whole family still felt a little uncomfortable.
As the head of the family and the only man, Yu Jiahui must of course take the lead and be the first to go and take a look.
He coughed dryly, as if giving someone a hint, and bravely walked towards the house with the half-open door in the east.
Yu Xiaoye grabbed his father's sleeve and followed closely behind him.
Xu Ying didn't want to get closer, but her husband and daughter had left, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow behind Yu Jiahui to the other side, holding Yu Jiahui's arm.
The family of three approached cautiously, and the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Yu Jiahui deliberately said something humorous:
“Do you know the difference between investing and speculation?”
"have no idea--"
"One speaks Mandarin, the other speaks Cantonese. Haha, isn't it funny? Hahahahahaha——"
“——”
Well, the attempt to liven up the atmosphere failed and instead made the family even more nervous.
The three of them walked to the door and looked inside through the open doorway. The light inside was not very good, it was dark, and there seemed to be no furniture. It was empty.
Yu Jiahui raised his foot and kicked the door open completely.
The door of the house flashed, and a round thing suddenly ran out from inside, crawling on the ground and squirming, just crawling towards Yu Xiaoye.
Yu Xiaoye was already a little nervous, and when he saw an unidentified object crawling towards him, about to land on his feet, his scalp suddenly went numb:
"ah!!!!!"
She screamed, let go of Yu Jiahui's sleeve and ran out.
Just after running a few steps, I heard Yu Jiahui shouting behind me:
"Why are you running? It's a hedgehog! A hedgehog! Haven't you seen a hedgehog before?!"
Yu Xiaoye: Yeah? ?
hedgehog?
She then stopped and slowly turned her head, and sure enough, she saw a hedgehog covered with thorns slowly crawling out.
Oh my god, it’s really a hedgehog!
The hedgehog looks round and crawling on the ground. Its clumsy appearance is actually a little cute.
Yu Xiaoye looked at his parents embarrassedly and defended himself:
"Sorry, sorry, this is really the first time I've seen a hedgehog, and I really didn't recognize it just now."
Yu Jiahui covered his beating heart:
"I wasn't scared to death by the ghost, but my own daughter was almost scared to death!"
However, Yu Xiaoye's scream livened up the atmosphere, and the effect was definitely better than Yu Jiahui's cold joke just now.
Yu Jiahui let out a breath of foul air and simply walked into the house with confidence.
Yu Xiaoye's interest was attracted by the hedgehog. She squatted down and watched the hedgehog crawling with great interest.
The hedgehog didn't seem to be shy and crawled out calmly. Yu Xiaoye followed it and couldn't help but touch the sharp spines on the hedgehog's body.
The hedgehog seemed to realize that Yu Xiaoye had no ill intentions and continued to move forward at a constant speed.
Yu Xiaoye also discovered that the hedgehog's belly was relatively large, and it looked like it was pregnant.
Probably a hedgehog mom.
mom.
Yu Xiaoye followed the hedgehog all the way out of the yard, and only turned back reluctantly after watching it disappear into the woods.
At this time, Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying had already finished looking at the two rooms and said with satisfaction:
"The house is nice. It can still be lived in after some repairs. Do you two have any objections? If so, bring them up now. Both of you have no objections? Okay, then I declare now that this house is our new home!"
A family of three stood in front of the house, looking at the dilapidated mud house. When could this dilapidated mud house be transformed into a place where people can live?
————
Ten minutes later.
In the company office.
When Jia Song heard that the family of three were going to live in the yard in the northeast corner of the company headquarters, he was petrified.
——There is a truth that should be said whether it is right or wrong.
This family of three had just arrived and didn't seem to know much about the company's situation.
However, even if you don't know it very clearly, seeing that lonely and dilapidated yard, can't you guess that there is a reason?
Why are you so naive?
Jia Song gently reminded:
"Well, Lao Yu, I think it's actually quite good for you to live with others. You don't necessarily have to move into that deserted house."
"What's going on? Is there anyone else who is interested in that house and wants to snatch it from us?" Yu Jiahui asked.
Jia Song repeatedly denied:
"No, no, no, no, no, no one wants to live there, no one wants to, do you understand?"
Yu Jiahui nodded heavily:
"I understand. No one wants to come. That's perfect. I'll come!"
Jia Song sucked his teeth: It's a bit difficult to talk to this old man.
