59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

The news that the Chen family was going to renovate the house and add a floor to the west wing spread quickly.

When the bricks were delivered last year, everyone had this suspicion.

The houses in this courtyard are all newly built and there is no need to rebuild them, unlike other courtyards, which are all old-fashioned houses. Some courtyards can even be traced back to the late Ming Dynasty.

It really is hundreds of years of history!

Longer than the history of the United States!

Many people come to ask how they add it. After all, each family is crowded in the yard. If it can be modified and the cost is not high, many people want to do it.

Chen Feng casually gave them a copy of Zhang Haixing's design draft.

Anyway, Miss Zhang is fine. She drew dozens of drafts, but none of them were used in the end. It would be a happy thing if she could turn the drawings into reality.

Several children in the family were sitting in the study looking at the house. They were all in a strange obsession with the house.

"Sister, sister, I want this house!"

Li Jie also chose a style he liked.

"Okay, give it to your mother." Zhang Haixing said indifferently.

"Then I also want this!" Li Jie said ambitiously.

Chen Li said with a smile: "You only have one house, why are you building two?"

Li Jie also thought so, but she liked both of them.

"I'll let my mom help me choose!"

"Okay, I'll go find your mom too. I want to buy some big firecrackers!"

Whenever the two little girls went to the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Hao, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang would always follow one of them.

Chen Hao was watching Chen Feng making a house model and didn't want to go anymore, so he asked Fatty Wang to follow. Fatty Wang was also attracted by the small house that was almost completed and was also reluctant to go.

In the end, it was Hu Bayi who stood up.

Zhou Qing and Chen Jianjun both went to work, while Chen Xing lay on his car, happily playing with building blocks.

"Xiao Feng, are you there?"

Not long after Chen Li left, Director Wang came.

Chen Hao and Fatty Wang went out immediately. The last time Director Wang came, he brought a certificate and a banner, so this time he might get a bonus.

They think too much!

"Director Wang, please sit down. Chen Hao, pour the tea!"

Chen Hao happily poured her a full cup of tea. He even wanted to give the teapot to Director Wang.

There's a reason why he's so nice!

"Chen Hao, don't pour the tea too full, 70% is enough." Director Wang smiled and took a sip to avoid wasting tea. She also drank cheap scented tea at home.

High-quality broken pieces are all given as gifts.

There aren't many good teas like Biluochun, and I'm reluctant to drink it.

"I came here just to ask if you have any blueprints."

"The street office also wants to build a house?" Fatty Wang asked curiously.

"Well, it's just the street office. It's the staff dormitory of our street office. There are too many people in the street office now, and there are quite a few children. Many people are crowded into two rooms."

"I plan to choose a suitable and lowest-cost model, apply for it, and see if I can get some assistance to convert some houses into two-story buildings. This will make it easier for boys from many families to get married."

Director Wang is seeking benefits for her subordinates and, of course, for her family as well.

She also lives in the yard.

If the application is approved, I'm afraid all the employees of the street office will be happy to return!

Zhang Haixiong picked out three design drawings for her.

"If you want to save the most cost, it's definitely best to build a loft. Many courtyards have a floor height of 4 meters. If it is raised to 3 meters, it can be made into a double-layer model of 1 meters plus 3 meters, or meters plus meters."

"This way, basically no major changes are needed, just add a layer of wood in the middle."

"The second floor is too low. It will be uncomfortable to live in." Director Wang has also seen that kind of small and low houses. They are particularly depressing.

"Yes, it's quite low. Usually, you can only use it to sleep at night. During the week, it is empty or used for children to play. It is not suitable for adults to work or live."

Zhang Haixing pointed to the second drawing.

"If this one doesn't work, then we'll build a second one, increasing the floor height so both floors are about three meters high. It'll cost a lot more, but it'll be more comfortable to live in. It'll also be separated by wooden boards, so the sound insulation is very poor, but it'll be okay for living."

Director Wang asked curiously, "Is the third one the best?"

"Yeah, it's also the most expensive. You need to buy precast cement panels, which are good for sound insulation, but they have certain load-bearing requirements."

"how much is it?"

She is more concerned about this.

"I haven't calculated it, so I don't know the price at the brick factory." Zhang Haixing laughed and said, "Chen Feng's bricks and stones were exchanged for meat, so they can't be used as a reference for price comparison."

"Okay, can I take it back and have it calculated?"

"can."

Chen Feng sent her back, and when he came back he saw Zhang Haixing giving Chen Xing a blueprint and teaching the little thing how to build a house.

Unfortunately, Chen Xing was too young to understand it at all, so he was just playing around.

When Chen Xing got tired of playing, he would just lie down in his own little world and fall asleep.

Chen Feng covered him with a blanket. When he heard the sound of running outside, he hurried out and said to Chen Li, "Keep your voice down. Chen Xing just fell asleep."

"Big Pot, why can my brother sleep during the day?"

"He's a child, you used to be like that too."

"No, I won't sleep during the day. I don't even want to sleep at noon. My mother forces me to sleep." Chen Li said with a pout.

"Silly girl, when you grow up, you will know how happy it is to be able to take a nap."

"is it?"

Chen Li was skeptical.

She always thought that taking a nap at noon was not fun at all, but she could not stand the pressure from her elder brother and mother.

After returning to the study, Chen Li wanted to climb into Chen Xing's car again.

He was pulled down in time by Hu Bayi.

"Where's Li Jie?"

Zhang Haixing asked.

"Her mother doesn't want to build a house, but Xiao Jie is pushing her to do so."

"What's the urge?" Zhang Haixing said with a smile, "Are you crying again?"

"Not this time!" Chen Li said proudly, "Li Jie won't cry this time. If I don't build a new house, she'll run away from home and sleep with me!"

Chen Feng was stunned.

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Haixing couldn't help laughing.

"Follow you, will you support her?"

"That's right, Daguo supports me, and I support Xiaojie!" Chen Li blinked and asked, "Daguo, what do you say?"

"as long as you are happy!"

Chen Feng said helplessly.

"Hehe, I knew Big Pot would agree!"

Chen Li said happily.

Is it okay if I disagree?

You have learned to run away from home!

At the supply and marketing cooperative, Guo Chunhua has been so troubled by her own naughty kid that she wants to expel Li Jie from her household registration!

What kind of house are you building?

Her house has three rooms, which is more than enough for her to live in!

Even if I find a son-in-law who lives with the family in the future, I can still give up a house.

"Mom, I'm telling you, if you don't agree, I won't come back. I want to live with Lily, eat with her, and sleep with her."

Guo Chunhua looked at her daughter helplessly, and she suddenly felt that it would not be a bad idea to have another child!

The little cotton-padded jacket is no longer fun!

The older they get, the naughtier they become!

"You are not the granddaughter of the Chen family, why should they raise you?"

Li Jie said proudly: "Lily said that I can help her with the work!"
