"Sister, the child has drunk too much now. You can wait until he wakes up before talking to the child."
"Why is this child like this? I will take care of him when he wakes up."
"Sister, don't be too angry. Even if you want to spank your child, just use a feather duster, but not a belt. When spanking, hit the buttocks where there is a lot of meat. If there is more flesh, you won't be afraid of being damaged. But spanking other places won't be pleasant.
.”
After all, he was his nephew, so even if his child was beaten, Fan Jinyou was still worried about breaking the child.
"Jin You, don't worry, I have more experience than you in spanking children."
"Okay, sister, I'm not worried. I'm just worried that you'll be tired. You can ask my brother-in-law to come with you."
"Okay, Jin You, you've also had a lot of drinks. I'll make you a hangover soup to sober up."
"Sister, there's no need for this. It's already getting late. I'm going home. You should rest early."
Fan Jinyou was looking for his eldest nephew because he originally wanted to solve the problem of his nephew not being able to find a wife.
Now that an unexpected situation has been discovered, the matter of finding a wife can be postponed for a while, and the matter of lending the Fan family's old house to my sister's family can be postponed for a while.
Fan Jin had his own heart. Since his nephew couldn't find a suitable wife in the city, he might as well choose to find a dutiful wife with a rural household registration.
It's a pity that even if my nephew grows up to this age, Fan Jinyou will provide half of the food, so he can't directly make the decision.
Simply because the Xu family does not have a house for the time being, they disagree with the person they want to get along with, which is too materialistic.
If his nephew finds such a wife, Fan Jinyou is worried that he will have endless troubles.
…
Fan Jinyou, in the next few days, successively purchased a lot of small items.
After the decoration smell was almost gone, I was ready to bring Chen Xueru for the final inspection.
If the courtyard wants to transform from a hotel-like house to a home-like atmosphere, Chen Xueru must handle the final details.
"Xue Ru, I have prepared a surprise for you. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Can't you just bring the surprise over? I have a lot of things to do in this store."
"The surprise is a bit big. I really can't move into the store. Let's put aside the things in the store. As long as you stay in the store, you will always have things to deal with. It's the same as leaving things to others."
"Old Feng, I've called you about the store affairs. I'll go out for a while." Chen Xueru explained, and then followed Fan Jinyou out of the silk store, "Tell me where to go to see the surprise you prepared."
"Get on the bike and just follow me."
Because Fan Jinyou attaches great importance to transportation, he found the yard according to the requirement that it must be accessible to cars, and there is no need to wind around in the alley.
The Siheyuan is only ten minutes away from the Silk Shop by bicycle.
"Come on, come in and take a look." Fan Jinyou said as he unlocked and pushed open the door to the courtyard.
"Hey you, whose yard is it? Why do you have the key in your hand? The surprise is still hidden in the big yard."
Fan Jinyou threw the key to Chen Xueru, and then said: "Take it, whose family it belongs to, of course it belongs to our family."
"Okay, Fan Jinyou, you bought a courtyard house without telling me! You have to make such a big decision alone." Chen Xueru said pretending to be angry.
"Then you are wrong. I didn't just buy a courtyard house, but two." Fan Jin pointed out two fingers and said, "Why are you still standing there, come and take a look inside."
"The yard is well kept and quite elegant. It took a lot of effort."
Although they are both courtyards, they look like two types of courtyards, whether they have been properly maintained or repaired.
One is a large courtyard where the lower class live, and the other is a large mansion where wealthy people live. The difference is not too big.
The vast majority of courtyard houses have been built haphazardly and have turned into large courtyards. Most of the residents of the few single-unit courtyards have fallen into poverty. Nowadays, it is not easy to see newly renovated courtyard houses.
"It's a lot of hard work. I've been busy with things in the yard since I left the street." He took Chen Xueru around the yard and then came to the door of the main house. "Of course I just tidied up."
When it comes to a house, it doesn’t take so much effort. The real focus is on the inside of the house.”
If you want to give Chen Xueru a real surprise, a simple courtyard house is still a bit lacking.
The Hou family's ancestral courtyard house, which belongs to Hou Kui, is still managed by Chen Xueru. Chen Xueru has left the Hou family's courtyard house abandoned without showing any intention of caring about it.
"Fan Jinyou, tell me, these things in the house are all fake. How can there be a room full of red sandalwood furniture?"
There are furniture for these three rooms, including canopy beds, couches, dressing tables, Eight Immortals tables, benches, armchairs, stools, wardrobes, boxes, screens, and stands. In terms of collecting antique furniture, Chen Xueru has become unbeatable.
place.
Fan Jinyou moved many warehouses and took advantage of his brother-in-law's relationship with the Manchus to collect and piece together this set for more than ten years.
It would be impossible for Xu Huizhen to collect such a set of furniture in her entire life.
"Chen Xueru, you keep saying you like antique furniture every day, but now you can't even tell the difference between real and fake furniture, so why are you talking about whether you like it or not?" Fan Jinyou said jokingly.
"It's all true. Fan Jinyou, where did you buy such a set of furniture? Can you still..."
"Okay, Chen Xueru, stop dreaming. Do you think this thing is Chinese cabbage? If you have money, you can buy it if you want."
Fan Jinyou directly interrupted Chen Xueru's daydreaming.
"Old Fan, you really surprised me this time."
"Okay, don't look at it now. After we move here, you can look at it every day. Do you want to look at the other houses?"
Except for the two people's study room, which had a lot of huanghuali, the furniture in other rooms, although not so precious, was still old mahogany furniture, which was enough to even surprise Chen Xueru.
If it is just a single piece of furniture, it is not rare for Chen Xueru, but even if it is red rosewood, it is precious enough to get a set.
"Lao Fan, move as soon as possible. We will move here tomorrow."
"You are too impatient. You can't just say that the wind is the rain. Even if we start moving now, it will be too late to move in tomorrow. All the places that need to be laid are waiting for you to take care of them."
"There's enough time. Don't worry about other places. I'll go back to the shop in a while. I can make the bedding, door curtains, and curtains for the main room today. It won't be too late to clean up the other rooms after we move in."
Already in her forties, Chen Xueru's personality has not changed much, and she is still as fickle as ever.
"If you say so, we can indeed move here tomorrow. Let's just move the clothes and some daily necessities here first."
