Xu Lian and Xiang Changkong are currently planning to renovate their house. Their marriage room was Xu Lian's previous house. After Xiang Xin was born, Xiang Changkong was worried that the room would not be enough, so when the fourth phase of the community opened, he paid a down payment and bought a set.
Now it seems that this decision is a wise decision. Xiang Xin has just entered kindergarten, and it seems that there is not enough room for her in the room, and she also mentioned to Xiang Zhangkong and Xu Lian that she wants a little sister.
The two have no plans to have a second child for the time being, so they plan to give her a pet to distract her.
No matter if you want to have a second child or keep pets in the future, there is not enough space in the house now.
Xiang Changkong and Xu Lian discussed it and decided to move to the new house. After the new house was handed over, they didn't decorate it, so they just put it there. Now they are busy with the decoration, only to realize that there are so many things involved.
From the beginning of the design drawing, Xu Liancao was heartbroken.
The unit size of the new house is better than the one they live in now. The balcony connecting the living room is very large, about 20 square meters, and it can be made into a sun room.
Xu Lian is going to set up a small garden, a swing, a few tables and chairs, where she can read or rest, and Xiang Xin can play with her pets here.
Of course, the new house still has to use a room as her workshop. Like the current workshop, she needs a large table for her to make candles and store tools.
After communicating with the designer several times, and modifying the schematic diagram several times, Xu Lian was finally satisfied. Seeing Xiang Changkong come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, she waved to him with a tablet, and said to him, "The renderings have been revised again, come and have a look."
Xiang Changkong casually draped the towel to wipe his hair around his neck, smiled and walked to Xu Lian's side: "I said it all, it's fine if you like it, I don't care."
"It's better not to. You'd better take a look first. If you don't like it after you install it, you can only pry off the brick yourself."
Xiang Changkong smiled and said, "It's not that serious, is it?"
"Of course there is." Xu Lian raised her head to look at him, "Do you know how many couples divorced because of decoration?"
Xiang Changkong: "..."
"Don't believe it, the designer who designed for us has met this kind of client. She also met a couple who were about to get married, and when they installed a new house, one liked American pastoral and the other liked modern Simple, after a big fight, we broke up."
"..." Xiang Changkong was silent for a while, then said, "Then why don't we change designers, it's too unlucky."
Xu Lian paused for a while, and couldn't help but chuckle: "So let me show you, not only the design drawings, but also the selection of materials and furniture is very laborious, ranging from sofas and beds to as small as a doorknob. Become a divorcee."
Xiang Changkong: "..."
He solemnly took the tablet in Xu Lian's hand, looked at the renderings made by the designer, and finally made a few suggestions for revisions to the TV wall: "The hanging cabinet above the TV should not be used, if it gets dirty like this Very difficult to clean."
Xu Lian said: "But if there is no hanging cabinet, the whole wall looks very empty. The wall in our living room is a bit big."
Xiang Changkong thought for a while: "Then make the hanging cabinet the top one, so that you don't have to clean it."
"Well... But the top may not be so good-looking. It doesn't matter, we'll just ask the housekeeping company to clean it in the future."
"Well..." Xiang Changkong stroked on the screen and said again, "It's best to replace the blinds on the balcony. It's very difficult to clean the blinds after they accumulate dust."
Xu Lian said: "But the blinds are good looking, it doesn't matter, let the housekeeper clean it."
"Well..." Xiang Changkong glanced again, raised his head and smiled at Xu Lian, "That's nothing."
"Cabinet and wall tiles, you can see if you want to change the style."
Xiang Zhangkong thought for a second and asked, "What do you think?"
Xu Lian said, "I think it's pretty good."
Xiang Changkong said, "I think so too."
Xu Lian looked at him sideways: "Then do you prefer American pastoral or modern simplicity?"
Xiang Changkong said, "I like what you like."
Xu Lian stared at him for three seconds, then laughed: "Okay, I feel your desire to survive."
Xiang Changkong rubbed her head with a smile, and said, "I think in the future, before men and women fall in love, in addition to understanding each other's three views and hobbies, they must first ask the other party what decoration style they like."
Xu Lian also smiled and said, "It makes sense."
After the decoration plan was finalized, the decoration company chose an auspicious day for them to start construction, and the time was accurate to the minute. Because many things had to be ordered in advance to avoid workers and other materials, Xu Lian took Xiang Changkong to the largest building materials city in City A before starting work.
Xiang Nuan also went with them, what doors, windows, glass, bathing, tile floors... Xiang Nuan suddenly lost enthusiasm for buying a house.
"I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore, let's go get some ice cream." Xiang Nuan beat his calf, sitting on the sofa and didn't want to leave.
Xiang Changkong guessed that Xu Lian was also tired, so he let her and Xiang Nuan sit on the sofa to rest, and he went to buy something to eat.
While beating his legs, Xiang Nuan excitedly said to Xu Lian, "This sofa is quite comfortable to sit on. You haven't chosen a sofa yet, have you?"
Xu Lian shook her head: "Not yet, let's buy furniture and appliances at the end."
She also really experienced the hard work of a renovation. Her father was in charge of the renovation of her previous house, and she basically ignored it. Now that she is doing the renovation, she finds it so tired.
Xiang Nuan really felt that the sofa was a little comfortable. She sneaked a glance at the sofa and coughed twice, "Sister Xu Lian, what's your renovation budget?"
She knew that all the money in her brother's house must be in Xu Lian's place, and now she should allocate funds for the renovation.
It is indeed Xu Lian who has the financial power in the family, but she has not carefully calculated how much the decoration will cost. She also beat her legs and said to Xiang Nuan: "Budget is something like that, don't believe it. My father helped me decorate my house back then, and my mother gave him the money and said yes. The rest of the budget will allow him to change his car."
"The result?"
"As a result, my father was half loaded and found that the situation was not right, so he went to buy the car first."
"... Hahahahahahahaha, witty by."
There is really no depth to the decoration. For the same house, 200,000 can be installed, and 2 million can be installed. But now that they have a heart, they should save a little, or she should go back and make a good budget
Even if it's over budget, it can't be too much.
So going home at night, Xu Lian began to write and draw in the notebook, and began to keep accounts for the first time in her life.
After Xiang Changkong coaxed Xiang Xin to sleep, he saw what Xu Lian was writing on the desk, so he walked up to her and asked, "What are you writing?"
Xu Lian raised her head and smiled at him: "Bookkeeping, I can't spend too much money on decoration, I have to support my daughter."
Her tone was a bit deliberately heavy, and she could hear a slight smile towards Zhang Kong. Xiang Xin can be said to have been raised in the palm of his hand since he was born, not to mention he and Xu Lian, Xiang Xin's grandparents and grandmother, everything that is delicious, easy to wear, easy to use, and fun to wear to her. Damn, even the aunt Xiang Nuan would rather buy her a skirt than herself.
However, he did not discourage Xu Lian. The decoration did cost money, and it was always right to write down the account: "Then you're done, let's discuss whether to raise a dog or a cat for Xiang Xin."
While pressing the computer, Xu Lian said, "If you have a dog, you need more space than a cat. After all, dogs are more active than cats, and some dogs are also bigger."
Previously, the neighbor had a dog, and she would see the neighbor walking the dog every once in a while. When I saw the dog for the first time, it was obviously still a very small one, but it didn't take long for the dog to suddenly become a lot bigger.
Xiang Changkong asked, "Then do we have cats?"
"Well, I think cats are better. Let's ask Xiang Xin again to see what she likes."
"Okay, I asked her before, and she said if they could be raised together."
Xu Lian laughed: "The little girl is quite greedy, let me tell her another day, cat and dog can only choose one."
After she finished, she added: "She is used to this by you."
Xiang Changkong chuckled and said, "I don't have it. Her grandfather is the one who loves her the most."
Xu Lian agrees with this: "I thought my dad was very kind to me, but after I got Xiang Xin, I felt that he was too lazy to look at me anymore, and if there was anything good, I would give it to Xiang Xin, Xiang Xin doesn't want it, he will give it to me."
Xiang Changkong was amused by what she said: "Don't say that, Dad still loves you very much."
"I don't feel it." She pouted, looked up at Xiang Zhangkong, and put her hand around his neck, "I think it's my husband who treats me the best."
Xiang Zhangkong took advantage of the situation and put his arms around her waist, bent slightly to touch her forehead: "It's good to know."
The corners of Xu Lian's mouth couldn't help turning up. She kissed Xiang Zhangkong's lips and asked him in a low voice, "Is Xiangxin asleep?"
"Well, I fell asleep..." Xiang Zhangkong's breath spit on Xu Lian's lips, and his voice became ambiguous.
Xu Lian got closer to him again, letting her breath blend with his: "Then you take me to bed and coax me to sleep."
With a smile on the corner of Xiang Changkong's mouth, he asked him, "How do you want me to coax you?"
Xu Lian didn't answer, Xiang Changkong gently picked her up, put her on the bed, and then attached her body and pressed her onto it.
The surroundings were very quiet, the heartbeats of the two echoed in each other's ears, and they couldn't tell who it was. Xiang Changkong raised his hand to brush away the messy hair on her face, and kissed her on the lips: "I prefer to keep you from falling asleep rather than coaxing you to sleep."
