After getting the passbook, Jiang Junmo went to Grandpa Dong for help the next day, asking him to introduce someone who could renovate the courtyard house.
Grandpa Dong agreed to help immediately and quickly found someone.
Then Lu Xia and the other person told the man how to renovate the house.
However, Lu Xia wanted to not destroy the outer structure, but to renovate it on the original basis and retain the basic structure of the courtyard house. This would be more complicated, not to mention that they also wanted to install flush toilets, running water and other facilities inside the room.
So this is a big project and it will probably take three to four months to complete.
Lu Xia didn't expect it would take so long, and after it's done it still has to be left to air out for a while before they can move in. It seems like they won't be able to move in for a while, so they can only live here for now.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Junmo looked at Lu Xia with some concern, afraid that he might not be used to it.
Lu Xia didn't think it was a big deal. Her uncle and aunt were usually busy and went out early and came back late. She didn't have much contact with them. Grandpa Jiang was just an old child and a very nice person. She didn't have any objection to living here.
So he comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just worried about Kang Kang. In this case, let him go to the military kindergarten here first?"
Jiang Junmo nodded. "Actually, I went there to ask before. The street office said that all kindergartens there, except for the staff kindergarten, are run by individuals. They are not that formal. I am not too sure about sending Kang Kang there."
...
...
Lu Xia frowned after hearing this. This means that even if the house is renovated, Kang Kang still has to go to school here.
But Lu Xia thought about it and said, "Don't worry about that for now. If it doesn't work out, we can move there during the summer vacation and move back when school starts. Anyway, didn't you say before that grandpa is going to escape the heat in the summer?"
Jiang Junmo nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Because he had previously troubled the street office to help look at the house, Jiang Junmo went to express his gratitude before the construction started.
Then the house was handed over to the renovation team.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the two finally went to visit Senior Brother Xu.
It’s not that they didn’t want to go before, it’s that Senior Brother Xu went back to his hometown during the New Year and was not in Beijing. So, he called them as soon as he came back, so the two of them took their things and went over.
Senior Brother Xu's home is also in East City, but it is far away from Jiang Jun and Mo's courtyard, towards the north of the city.
There are obviously a lot more people around her place. Walking in the alley, there are people coming and going, it's a bit noisy, and the houses are also very crowded, almost one next to the other.
The two of them turned left and right and finally arrived.
Jiang Junmo knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard footsteps running over. He opened the door and saw it was Xiaotian.
Xiaotian also saw Jiang Junmo and the others, and said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt are here, mom and dad have been waiting for a long time."
Lu Xia and the other person smiled and followed him in.
As soon as you enter, you pass through a long corridor. When you turn the corner, you will see a small courtyard. It is really small, less than ten square meters, surrounded by several houses.
The layout looked crowded, but it was enough for a family of three. It looked like what Lu Xia had originally imagined Jiang Junmo's courtyard would look like.
At this moment, Senior Brother Xu and Sister Qiu also came out.
When he saw them, he smiled and said, "You are finally here, come in quickly, we have been waiting anxiously."
The two of them hurried in. The room looked a little messy, but it was very clean.
After they sat down, Sister Qiu poured them some tea and asked, "Why didn't Kang Kang come?"
Seeing this, Lu Xia smiled helplessly, "We were originally planning to come, but his great grandfather called us to pick puppies. When he heard this, he just left us behind!"
