Chapter 939: The selfish and vain female supporting role (35)

　　After hanging up the phone, Xu Yin made a list and sent it.

 Chen Jiao asked her again if she needed furniture? She knew a salesperson from a certain brand of furniture factory, and asked the manufacturer directly to get the goods. Not only was the price favorable, but the goods were delivered directly to her door and included installation.

“It is now popular to customize the whole house. Kitchen cabinets, bedroom wardrobes, and even bathroom storage cabinets can be customized according to size. If you need it, I will help you get it done.”

Xu Yin originally planned to take her time, but she was short of money.

 But after thinking about it, I should actually buy furniture earlier than electrical appliances, as they need ventilation to dissipate odors.

 “Sister Chen, can I advance next quarter’s dividend?”

 Chen Jiao replied cheerfully: "No problem!"

Xu Yin confidently reported the measurements to her.

　　Not bothering the two owners about anything, I simply entrusted Chen Jiao with the purchase of furniture.

 “Thank you, Sister Chen.”

“It’s easy to talk about. On the day of the beaming ceremony, you can cook me some delicious dishes.”

"That is required!"

 …

 When new houses are built in rural areas, beams must be put up.

Even now, many of the newly built houses are reinforced concrete structures with no beams to go up, but this custom has still been preserved, which is nothing more than simplifying the old beam-up ceremony.

The day of Liang Liang is also an auspicious day to choose from.

But the house was finished and it was already the seventh month of the lunar calendar. In rural areas, happy events are generally not held in July. Finally, Xu’s mother asked a fortune teller to pick an auspicious day in the early eighth month of the lunar calendar.

 The fifth day of August corresponds to the sixteenth day of September in the Gregorian calendar.

 Just in time, the main body of the new house has been built, but the interior walls and exterior facades still need to be whitewashed and tiled, windows and sliding doors need to be installed, and the yard needs to be tidied up... in short, there are still a lot of things to do. The Liang Liang day has been postponed by one month, so there is no need to rush.

After setting the date for the wedding, Xu’s father asked the town’s steamed bun shop to order two hundred large steamed buns stuffed with red bean paste, and weighed several kilograms of assorted candies.

On the day of Liang Liang, the villagers flocked to Xu Yin's house early to join in the fun.

For example, the village chief and his sons have visited several times because they often come to help, but this is the first time for most villagers after the villa is built and the simple and elegant European-style aluminum art courtyard door is installed. Come.

When Xu Yin was pouring the floor in her yard, she asked workers to pour cement mixed with cobblestones on the road in front of her house.

 Coming up from the village road entrance, there is a cobblestone cement road with a slight slope, which is refreshing. There are several sweet pomelo trees planted on both sides of the road.

 At the southeast corner of the yard, a double-layered baking kiln was also built with cement and cobblestones.

“Mingkang, you said this is called a roasting kiln? What is it used for? Roast chicken, duck, and steamed buns? Be good! You’re so particular!”

“Mingkang, your yard is so neat and tidy, it’s so beautiful!”

“With a fence on the west side, we can raise a lot of chickens in the open space next to the fruit trees.”

“The pigsty has been moved to the backyard? It’s much cleaner this way.”

“Grow flowers in the front yard, grow vegetables in the backyard and raise pigs, raise chickens in the side yard... Mingkang, your family is about to get up!”

“Look at what you said, the Mingkang family has been up for a long time! Can they afford to build such a big two-story house?”

“This is called a villa, not an ordinary building.”

"Stop bickering and go upstairs and take a look. This house is so enviable."

“What’s wrong? Aren’t there four sleeping rooms upstairs?”

"No, the layout of the room is very particular. There is a bathroom and a dressing room in the bedroom...it's like a small suite." "I'll go upstairs and have a look!"

　　　…”

 After the visit, the villagers came downstairs and touched the wooden corner stairs. Envy was not enough to express their feelings at the moment:

“Mingkang, I see you have three suites and two guest rooms upstairs. Why are you preparing so many rooms?”

Xu’s father distributed cigarettes and candies and said with a smile, “Isn’t this two rooms reserved for Mingrui’s family?”

“Your father will also live upstairs when he comes?”

"That's not true. He has bad legs and feet, so we arranged a suite for him on the first floor."

Only then did everyone discover that there was also a well-arranged south-facing bedroom on the first floor. The sliding door opened out to a long terrace for enjoying the shade. A small flowerbed was built with broken bricks outside the terrace. Some flowers and plants were planted behind the terrace. The view was not limited. Great. Worried about mosquitoes in summer? Wouldn’t it be nice to replace the flowers and plants with insect repellent herbs?

 The room is larger than the master bedroom upstairs. It not only has a separate bathroom with a bathtub, but also has a three-square-meter pantry, which is convenient for the old man to drink water at night.

 “Blessed is Lao Xu!”

“I didn’t expect that old guys like us would be the most lucky!”

Grandpa Xu, who came in his son’s car, was so happy that he never closed his mouth.

His good fortune is certainly good. If nothing else, he just said that after drinking the medicinal wine his granddaughter bought him, his rheumatism has not broken out for two months, so he may be cured.

Be humble: "Everyone is blessed wherever they go."

　　　…”

　　Since when did old man Xu become so good at talking?

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, who were invited to attend the beam-laying ceremony with their daughter and son-in-law, walked around upstairs and downstairs and sighed:

“My nephew-in-law’s house is so well-renovated! If there is land, I would like to build one in the village.”

“Didn’t my nephew-in-law leave a room for us? Come anytime you want to come?”

"That's true." Mrs. Jiang smiled with her eyes narrowed, and said to her wife in a low voice, "Fortunately, I held it back and didn't make trouble with my son-in-law."

　　"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You are right not to make trouble."

 “You know hindsight! Why didn’t I listen to your advice at the time?”

"hey-hey…"

Wang Cuihua also visited with several women from the village. She was so envious that she wished it was her home, but she was critical: "I thought the appliances and furniture were all complete, but it turned out to be just an empty shelf."

“I just went up to the beam today, and I didn’t say I would move in now.” The village chief’s eldest daughter-in-law scolded her.

Wang Cuihua wanted to say something else, but suddenly she heard a noise coming from the door of the courtyard:

 “Another car is here! It’s so lively today!”

“Is there a truck following behind? Yin Yin, is this coming to your house too?”

Xu Yin walked out and saw that it was Sister Chen.

“Yinyin, I’ve sent you the electrical appliances! The furniture will be delivered tomorrow. Don’t worry, the manufacturer will deliver it to your door and install it. Just wait for the acceptance of the finished product.”

Chen Jiao stopped the off-road vehicle, got out and waved to the electrical appliance store delivery truck that followed her.

Household appliances such as a large double-door refrigerator, a 60-inch wall-mounted TV, a high-power drum washing machine, a cabinet air conditioner for the living room, a hanging air conditioner for the room, a steamer, an oven, a disinfection cabinet, and a dishwasher in the kitchen were carried one by one by the store clerk. Entering the new house, the villagers' eyes widened.

 Be good! The Mingkang family is really trying to stop making noise and become a blockbuster!

Such a complete range of home appliances, all of which are very high-end brands, the only one in the village!

In addition to electrical appliances, Chen Jiao also brought a dozen pairs of paintings.

Although it is not the work of a famous artist, it is also the work of a cutting-edge painter. The most expensive one is a landscape painting worth 50,000 yuan, suitable for hanging in the living room. There are cheap ones ranging from five thousand to one or two thousand, which are suitable for hanging in bedrooms and study rooms.

Although the villagers didn’t know the price of these paintings, when they saw the effect after hanging them up, they sighed inwardly: With such a layout, Mingkang’s house feels like a city resident.
