On Saturday morning, Li Youran and Sun Xiaoying had breakfast together, hurriedly packed up and went to the backyard of the bun shop.
The car is covered with car clothes. When you lift it up, you will see that it is clean and spotless inside and out.
Opening the door and getting into the driver's seat, Li Youran checked the oil gauge. It was full. Feng Daniu had just driven it out for maintenance yesterday, and it seemed that he had also filled up the oil.
"Fasten your seat belt, let's go." Li Youran said to Sun Xiaoying.
At this moment, there was only a sound of fluttering wings, and then a pair of shiny black feathers appeared at the passenger window, chirping non-stop, and the bright yellow ring around its neck looked particularly dazzling.
Sun Xiaoying quickly carried Liao Ling in with her hands and put her on the backrest.
"Why are you bringing a bird with you when viewing a house?" Li Youran turned around and asked with a frown.
"Brother Youran, just take Liao Lang with you. From now on, that will be Liao Lang's home." Sun Xiaoying begged, and at the same time touched Liao Lang's chin with her right index finger. Liao Lang felt very comfortable and called out twice more.
"I'm impressed with you. Forget it, just take it with you and don't let it cause trouble when you get there." Li Youran shook his head and started the ignition with the key. The car engine made a brisk and sweet roar.
The man opened the courtyard door and the car drove out deftly.
It was the first time for Lelang to ride in a car. It felt very fresh. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the scenery outside the window.
"Xiaoying, have you ever heard of homing pigeons? They can fly back from far away places. Don't you think they are smart? They should be able to do it. How about we give it a try today after checking out the apartment." Li
Youran made a joke.
"Ah, don't. Liao Ling is still young and will get lost." Sun Xiaoying was very nervous after hearing this. She couldn't help but take Liao Ling off the backrest and hold her in her arms.
"He's over a year old, and he's still young. Hey, he's just a stupid bird after a long time. He can't do any work." Li Youran sighed and said.
"Chirp, silly bird, chirp, silly bird." Liao Ling refused to suffer. He stretched his neck and shouted to Li Youran.
"Hey, this bastard, you still dare to scold me." Li Youran said as he turned the steering wheel left, and the car drove into Shiguxiang Street and headed south.
"Hehe, Brother Youran. Who told you to call it stupid? Ling Ling is the smartest bird I have ever seen." Sun Xiaoying touched Ling Ling's head and looked at it dotingly.
"Just pamper it, be careful not to spoil it." Li Youran said, stepping on the accelerator. The car accelerated and drove south.
The road conditions were good today, and the car quickly left the city and reached the suburbs. Li Youran turned on the satellite navigation, followed the map, and found the Yunshui Road leading to Mingcui Lake.
Yunshui Road is a newly built two-way six-lane asphalt road. The road surface is very smooth, there are not many cars, and the car tires make a light friction sound. Driving on this kind of road is really a pleasure.
There is no industry on both sides of the road, except for farmland, grass on gentle slopes, and scattered rural houses.
The fresh wind blew into the car, making people feel relaxed and happy. Even Liao Ling sang happily.
About fifty minutes after setting off from Baozipu, Li Youran finally saw the sign for Mingcui Villa standing on the roadside.
To the southwest are rolling green hills, marked on the electronic map as Lingfeng Mountain. The car drove into a fork in the road, climbed a gentle slope, and soon arrived at the gate of Mingcui Villa.
The gate is not too luxurious, just four door pillars with granite on the outside, two iron automatic doors in the middle, and side doors for pedestrians on both sides, but the workmanship can be seen to be very exquisite. There are several on both sides of the entrance.
The flower beds and running water landscaping are also unique and full of elegance.
Li Youran took out his cell phone, contacted the assistant named Gu, and handed the cell phone to the doorman. After the doorman answered, he opened the door and let him go.
Li Youran asked about the location of House No. 76, and then drove into the community.
The community environment is very quiet and elegant, the roads are spotless, and the houses on the roadside are unique in shape and have their own characteristics.
The greening is also very good, with lush trees and shrubs everywhere. Except for the brick-paved sidewalks, the rest of the ground is covered with turf, and no part of it is exposed.
"Brother Youran, this is a villa area. Do we want to buy a villa?" Sun Xiaoying asked in surprise.
She didn't know the specific type of house in advance, she just thought it was an apartment somewhere in the suburbs. In addition, she usually didn't care much about the profits of the bun shop, so she never thought that Brother Youran could buy a villa with his financial resources.
"Haha, I don't like the word villa. It's better to call it a single-family courtyard house. The environment here is good and much quieter than an apartment." Li Youran said with a smile.
"Have we saved so much money? We just opened a bun shop." Sun Xiaoying was still shocked. In her impression, those who can afford to live in villas are rich and wealthy families. This is also the case on TV.
.
"You little girl, can't we, the bun sellers, buy a bigger house? The coal diggers go to the center of Beijing to buy a whole house." Li Youran said while turning the steering wheel left and right.
A few minutes later, the car arrived at the destination of the trip, outside the gate of House No. 76. This house is located at the southern end of the community, and further north is Mingcui Lake.
Through the wrought iron gold foil painted courtyard gate, I saw a three-story house with a sloping roof and mushroom stone on the exterior wall. It was unassuming and luxurious, with a bit of a modern pastoral style. But the courtyard wall was closed.
I can't see the whole garden inside.
Li Youran parked the car, turned off the engine, put on the handbrake, and Sun Xiaoying opened the door and got out of the car.
Naturally, Lelang didn't want to be alone, so he jumped on Sun Xiaoying's shoulders and acted with her.
With a creak, the courtyard door was pushed open a little, and a man in his thirties, with a fair face and wearing a gray shirt, walked out.
"Are you Mr. Li?" the man asked. He looked Li Youran up and down, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. It seemed that he did not expect that the young man in ordinary clothes in front of him was actually coming to see the house.
buyer.
"Hello, Mr. Gu." Li Youran stepped forward and shook hands with Mr. Gu.
"Okay, please come in." Mr. Gu extended his hand in an inviting gesture, asking Li Youran and Li Youran to go in first.
Sun Xiaoying followed Li Youran as she walked in. The man on her shoulder looked at each other with Mr. Gu, which made the other person feel strange.
Entering the gate, the view suddenly opened up. The owner did not brag. This house really occupies a large area. It is estimated that it is more than two acres of land.
The house has a standard north-south orientation. Anyone who has lived in the north knows how important it is to have a transparent house from the north to the south. The lighting of the room, the warm sunshine in winter, and the ventilation in summer are all produced in this architectural structure.
Therefore, in the real estate market, even for apartments, the price of slab buildings in the same location is higher than that of towers. The reason is that towers cannot achieve north-south air convection.
The front of the three-story building is a Chinese-style garden. There is a cashew-shaped pool at the door. The pool surface is dotted with several clusters of water lilies, with pink petals blooming. Rockeries, Taihu stones, and several weeping willows are planted along the edge of the pool.
, magnolia tree, pomegranate tree; to the west of the pool, there is a hexagonal pavilion facing the water, which is made of antiseptic wood. Winter jasmine, rose and boxwood are planted around the pavilion, which makes the pavilion look elegant, clear and unique.
The paths in the garden are paved with colorful pebbles, and shaded by various trees, shrubs and flowers, it gives the feeling of a winding path leading to a quiet place.
At first glance, the entire garden seems to have been professionally designed. Although the area is not too large, the design is exquisite, natural and harmonious, quiet and elegant, making people linger in it unconsciously and forget themselves.
There is a large open space to the west of the pavilion. No construction has been done, but the lawn has been simply laid.
Li Youran looked at the small building and the yard, and he had already agreed in his heart. Not to mention anything else, the area exceeded his requirements. The house did not need to be too big, but there must be a spacious outside that belonged to him.
Space, so that you can give full play to your imagination and create the beautiful home in your mind.
For example, in the open space in the west of the courtyard, you can build a large glass greenhouse, dig a pond in it, raise fish, and plant various fruit trees. With the effectiveness of the spatial stream, you can have fresh fish and fruits all year round.
Wouldn't it be nice to eat?
Sun Xiaoying looked around without saying a word, but the excitement in her big eyes revealed her mood at this time. Once upon a time, the small building, garden, and pool, the paradise in her dream, looked like this.
Lelang's mood was high, he flapped his wings, flew to the top of the pavilion, raised his neck and started chirping.
Mr. Gu was not in a hurry and waited for Li Youran and Li Youran to watch for a while before introducing him to him.
The owner is the boss of a large company. He bought this villa from someone else a year ago. At that time, it was still a rough house. Later, he spent a lot of time on interior decoration and garden construction.
The open space to the west of the pavilion was originally intended to be a swimming pool, but something delayed it and construction never started.
Due to some events this year, the owner decided to sell off most of his domestic assets and immigrate to Canada, so he decided to sell this property.
The garden construction of this house was earlier, and the interior decoration was completed much later. It has only been a few months, and not only the decoration, but also the furniture, household appliances, curtains are all newly purchased, and central air conditioning and other equipment have also been installed.
.
After the completion, the owner was very busy with work and did not come to stay for a few days. Now it is necessary to sell the house for some reason, which is a pity.
After hearing this, Li Youran nodded repeatedly. This is better. If the decoration is new, he will save a lot of trouble. He can move in with just his bags.
You must know that house decoration itself is a very troublesome thing. If a small building like this is decorated to a medium level, it will take three months to complete. During this period, you have to supervise the work, argue with the construction team, and order various arrangements.
It is really laborious to choose materials, install equipment, and modify the design during construction.
Even if it is completed, you cannot move in immediately. The decoration materials contain a large amount of free formaldehyde and other harmful chemicals, and it will take about a month to dry most of them naturally.
I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the end of the year before I can move.
Now this house is really considerate, as if it was specially prepared for him. Seeing it now, Li Youran is very satisfied. If the environment in the small building is not too bad, he can basically make a decision.
