Seeing that his parents were very satisfied, Song Tan also struck while the iron was hot and made further efforts to make them open their minds and forget about spending:
"Dad, actually other villages are also building villas now, so ours is not unusual. But can theirs be as comfortable as ours? Apart from other things, who would seriously spend money to hire a designer? Who would be willing to burn a stove for floor heating? I guess we are the first in the area!"
"And this central air-conditioning, it's not hot yet, but once it's turned on at noon, the whole house will be comfortable!"
“That’s it!”
Song Sancheng thought about it and couldn't help but smile again. It seems that using electricity or coal to split the rice field in the later stage... That's not called spending money.
After going from the first to the second floor, everyone followed Qiao Qiao to the open-air balcony on the third floor. Wu Lan felt the breeze and watched the sun rising over the distant mountains and forests. At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder:
"This place is great. We can put sausages and bacon here to dry. We don't have to worry about stray cats and dogs stealing them."
Oh my god!
Song Tan couldn't help but laugh.
"Mom, there are separate staircases on both sides of these two buildings that can lead down from the third floor. Can't cats climb the stairs?"
The left side leads to the yard from the second floor, and the right side leads to the yard from the third floor. You don't go indoors, mainly for convenience when strangers come over occasionally.
Two toilets were built under the stairs, and the angle is very suitable for hiding.
"Besides, are cats the only ones stealing meat? Birds steal too. If you put it in the yard with people coming and going, people can watch it, but who will watch it if you put it on the third floor?"
Wu Lan imagined it and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you in such a hurry? I have too much space and I haven't figured out how to use it yet..."
“You’ll know once you move in.”
Song Tan pushed her shoulders and sent her downstairs: "Go check your cloakroom and see if there are any clothes you want to buy. Let's try to fill it up."
Speaking of this Ulan makes me angry:
"I haven't said anything about you yet. You've made such a big room just for clothes and shoes. Aren't you showing off? Besides, why don't you throw away my old clothes? It would be great if you put them here. They are all in good condition..."
Song Tan: …Oh, you picked the wrong topic.
She quickly raised her voice and asked, "Seventh cousin, how is the kitchen?"
The kitchen is of course first-rate!
On the left is a large dining room with a big round table, which is big enough for the whole family to have a lively meal.
There is a door opening in the wall connecting to the kitchen.
The kitchen has white walls and gray tiles, and the stove is shiny. There is a convenient gas stove and a large wood stove for daily use. The storage cabinet is designed to be very convenient, and there are several faucets.
The wood next to it was neatly stacked and set back a distance from the stove, making it look spacious and safe, no longer cramped in the yard as before.
and…
Uncle Qi looked at the air conditioner hanging above and couldn't help but sigh again: "If the air conditioner is placed in this place, it will be damaged by the fumes in two years."
"fine."
Song Tan came over and turned on the air conditioner: "It's so hot, it's so painful to cook! It's already installed, it will break down if you don't use it, you might as well use it to get the most out of it."
"It just so happens that a group of people will probably come to have breakfast later. You can take this opportunity to get familiar with them, make a pot of porridge and have some scallion rolls or chili sauce rolls."
"Also keep the Tremella soup ready for them to drink when they come back tired."
"Oh, Dad, let's pick some watermelons and soak them in cold water later..."
"And take out the tea leaves you picked. I'll treat the students to a drink..."
Everyone: …
Zhang Yanping had just come down from the third floor to the courtyard with satisfaction when he heard Song Tan's arrangements. He couldn't help but shook his head:
"It seems like this is too poor!"
When Aunt Lianhua, who came over early in the morning to lend a hand, couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
"But Tantan..." She wiped her hands with her apron awkwardly, and then asked, "If I have to clean your big house by myself, I won't be able to do other work."
There are three floors above and below, and all the wiping, sweeping and mopping need to be done. Even if Song Tan has a vacuum cleaner or a floor scrubber robot, it is still a lot of work.
Aunt Lianhua had never cleaned such a nice house before, and she couldn't help but feel panicked at this moment.
Song Tan has already had an idea for comparison:
"Aunt, I was just about to discuss with you - we can clean our own rooms. You can continue with your current work, and every three to five days, take the time to clean up the living room and the balcony above."
"The salary is as we agreed, 4,000 yuan a month, four days off a month, and we can take normal leave if we have something to do. Is that ok with you?"
At first, I just helped wash dishes, clean pots, prepare vegetables, prepare meals, and take care of the old lady's food. The salary was not high.
But who can blame Aunt Lianhua for being so hardworking? Since the old lady at home has been by her side, she has never stopped working all day long. From morning to night, she wants to do all the housework and has never been idle at all.
As a result, the salary had to be raised again and again, and the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law each got a share, so that now they are second only to the seventh cousin and Xin Jun.
"And Seventh Grandma," Song Tan also pondered, "You said you are not allowed to help, but you are still here every day, lighting the fire and helping to pick vegetables... Otherwise, I would pay you 1,500 a month. Seventh Grandma, don't think I don't pay you enough!"
In fact, she only did some easy work, just like Aunt Lianhua at the beginning.
"I don't mind."
Grandma Qi was not shy at all: "I just want to be here because it's lively."
She hasn't been in the village for so many years, and she doesn't know what to talk about with other people. It's so comfortable for her to chat here, pick some vegetables and make a fire at the same time!
“But Tan Tan, even if you get your salary, don’t look down on me.”
"Look at your seventh cousin. My husband and I may have been living a life of digging for food in the dirt, but now that we are back in the village, our spirits are getting better and better every day!"
"Just tell me what work you need, otherwise I won't be able to keep my salary. I'm old enough to stay in the village, but I can't stop working!"
In this way, Aunt Lianhua's work was shared a little.
Song Tan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about it this way, including Zhang Wang’s family, the family’s monthly salary would have to be at least 20,000!
Wu Lan and Song Sancheng immediately felt pressured. After thinking about what they could eat at home, they decided to sell the goods well.
Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun had no objections - after all, Zhang Yanping got commission and the work was easy.
Xin Jun's job was even easier. He even helped with writing documents. Although Song Tan did not get a raise, he would get a separate copy of whatever he wrote, which was more affordable than a salary.
That's why he can handle all the fucking urging!
Seeing that everyone was already excitedly looking forward to the future in the room, Song Tan looked at the time - 7:30 in the morning.
She cleared her throat:
"Well... Mr. Xin, there is one thing I haven't told you."
"What?" Xin Jun was caught off guard.
"It's Wu Qianqian... She's coming today too."
Xin Jun: …
At this moment, he thought of Wu Qianqian's misunderstanding and the big-headed doll ice cream that he hadn't eaten yet...
So he immediately walked up the stairs: "I'm responsible for writing product documents and preparing lessons today. Please contact me by phone if you need anything."
