Chapter 560: Furnish a New Home
Well, there's no need to bother to hire someone, Umu is the best person available.
Even if the little bean sprouts stop playing when they are old, they can continue to play with children at home in the future.
Further back, there is a high undulating terrain, on which a pavilion is built, and a passage formed by the cross laying of wisteria leads to it, and around the pavilion, there is a large area of the moon season.
Descending the stairs from the back, there is a depression.
Qiao Xiaoru deliberately built a large glass house here, which is square in shape, and the glass used is the finest special glass. The glass house covers an area of nearly one acre and is more than three meters high.
At present, this big glass house is still empty, this is Qiao Xiaoru plans to travel to the south in the future, and bring back some southern fruit trees to plant here, such as papaya, mango, lychee, longan, pineapple, star fruit, etc., maybe it will be successful?
The shallow canal formed by the pond outlet winds around the back garden and flows into a waterhole in the vegetable garden below. The pond water can be used to water the vegetables.
The vegetable fields are neat and tidy, and they are still lush and green at this time, full of vitality.
The outlet of the waterhole is a secret passage that leads to the ditch outside.
On the right side of the building, down a small flat field is the location of the vegetable garden. A bluestone pavement more than one meter wide connects the vegetable garden.
A hedge blocks the view of the residence, in addition to the scattered flowers and trees, there is also a glass conservatory with a dome roof on the flat ground, about two meters high, covering an area of more than half an acre.
In winter, you can grow some vegetables from other seasons, and you can also cultivate flowers.
To the left of the house, a covered verandah connects to the residential complex and is the kitchen. There is a warehouse next to the kitchen. Behind the kitchen, there is a small courtyard of its own, and there are five or six rooms in a row against the inner wall, which is where the people of the inner house live.
In this way, the whole inner courtyard is self-contained and has its own functional division, bluestone paved roads or winding paths paved with five-colored cobblestones will connect each other, and various flowers and trees and fruit trees are interspersed, like a small paradise.
If you want to raise some chickens and ducks, the front yard is spacious enough, so you can get such a chicken and duck house in the carriage and horse house.
"This house is excellent, convenient and comfortable to live in, generous and neat without losing the true character of our villagers, really excellent!" Tian saw it and was overjoyed and satisfied.
Lu Xing'er smiled and sighed like a dream, "I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to live in such a good place!" When the flowers bloom, invite a few sisters in the village garden to talk and embroider together, how nice! ”
Qiao Xiaoru smiled and said, "Little aunt, our family will always have a place for you to live!" ”
Tian also laughed and said yes.
Little Bean Sprouts pointed to one of the rooms and rubbed: "Mother, sister-in-law, I want this room!" I'm going to live upstairs! Push open the window and you'll see the pond! ”
It made several people laugh, and they laughed and asked what it would mean to see a pond?
The little bean sprouts were speechless, but they only said that they liked to see the pond.
Qiao Xiaoru naturally agreed, and Tian smiled and said nothing.
"Now that the house is built, let's set up the layout and move in on a good day!" Qiao Xiaoru smiled faintly.
Lu Xing'er smiled: "There are really a lot of things to be added here, I'm afraid it will take some time." ”
Tian nodded: "No, a pair of furniture, curtains and curtains, as well as pots and pans in the kitchen, etc., as well as many daily necessities, trivial and trivial, it really takes time to prepare." ”
Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile: "This garden is very big, I think it's okay to buy a dog and keep it." There were also two horses, and a carriage was also made to order. If you buy three or four more people to help clean the house and do housework, you don't have to work so hard! After we move in, the wooden house we originally lived in can also be renovated! ”
Tian thought for a while and smiled: "This is also true!" Otherwise, such a large mansion is really difficult to clean. ”
So the family was in high spirits and planned how to decorate the new house.
It is said that the first to enter the house has to be pots and pans and other things.
So I picked an auspicious day and bought a set of kitchen utensils first.
The kitchen is also built and renovated according to Qiao Xiaoru's design, and the windows are also inlaid with bright glass, and the house is very bright.
The floor is made of polished smooth and delicate clean blue bricks, and the four walls are freshly painted. The stove is smaller than the earthen stove seen by ordinary people, and the wall cabinets and cabinets are very neat in a row, which can store all kinds of small items. A small door is connected to a small storeroom where grain, various dried vegetables, etc. are kept.
It took two days to buy and pack all kinds of pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as tables, chests of drawers, and shelves for pots and pans.
For the next nearly half a month, the family spent the next half of the month buying furniture and other items and decorating the new house.
If it weren't for the inconvenient transportation, Qiao Xiaoru would have wanted to go to Dongchang, the state city or the provincial capital, to buy furniture.
But obviously, those bulky things are really not suitable for pulling back such a long distance.
Not to mention the trouble, the road is not particularly smooth, maybe the bumps on the road will break the corners of the furniture, but it is even more unsightly.
Fortunately, there are also decent furniture stores in Suiyun County, and all the furniture in this year is solid wood, so there is no need to worry about the quality.
Qiao Xiaoru's family doesn't like things that are too fancy and gorgeous, just simple and simple.
All the large pieces of furniture have been placed, curtains and curtains have been installed, and new clothes, shoes, socks, quilts, etc. have been added to everyone, and they have been busy for eleven or twelve days, but all that is missing is some small things to furnish.
At this time, the horses were also bought, and the two horses were temporarily taken care of by Liu Sanxi and them. Two carriages were ordered, a carriage for riding and a cart for work, and it would take some time for them to be delivered.
Qiao Xiaoru bought a lot of pottery and porcelain flower pots, stacked them in the glass flower room, and prepared to slowly get some delicate flowers she liked.
I bought a pair of giant blue and white porcelain vats more than half a person high, and placed them on the blue brick flat field in front of the house on one side, and planted two water lilies and raised several goldfish.
In the end, Qiao Xiaoru still plans to go to the state city to buy some better daily necessities and furnishings and come back. and Lu Xinger tried their best to persuade Tian to go together.
Tian didn't want to go, but she was about to move into a new house, and she was very happy in her heart, these days little by little with Qiao Xiaoru and others to arrange the new home, watching little by little become like a home, the feeling of steadfastness and warmth in her heart is incomparable.
was teased by the two, so he also smiled and said.
Little Bean Sprouts looked at them pitifully, begging to go, but Tian didn't let it go at all, and gently and categorically refused.
In the end, Qiao Xiaoru promised to wait until the New Year to go to the state city to buy New Year's goods, and he would definitely take him there, and the little bean sprouts were barely satisfied.
