To this day, the walls of old houses are aging, the wall mortar is peeling off, many roofs are leaking, window lattices are decayed, toilet water pipes are covered with rust, and wires are aging. Various problems are like an old ship sailing hard in the ocean.

The engineering team's approach is very simple: disassemble what should be disassembled, install what should be installed, apply what should be wiped, and replace what should be replaced.

The renovation was too loud, so the street office paid the funds (actually Song Baojun's private money) to provide temporary residences for the five members of the Song family in a nearby hotel, and all the furniture that can be moved can be moved away for the time being.

It is worth mentioning that with Li Shujing's concern, Han Ruoyi's admission problem has been solved. At present, the little girl is studying at Mingyang No. 2 Primary School across the street. She goes to school during the day and returns to her temporary residence in the hotel to live with her aunt, uncle and brother at night. Song Jingtong has a heavy school degree in high school and does not stay at school. Naturally, there is no need to say more.

Just so happened that Song Shixian was suspended by Lige Company and was idle. He did not want to see Han Weiwu's stinky face, so he simply stayed at home to supervise the progress of the project.

The old man himself is a professional senior interior design draftsman. He is one of the best in Chazhou City, regardless of his vision, aesthetics, experience and hands-on ability. Seeing the free decoration and renovation at home, he was completely in line with his own ideas and took this opportunity to design it.

The people in the engineering team were informed and keen on Lao Song’s suggestions and tried their best to meet any requirements.

Originally, everyone thought this was just a handsome middle-aged man who liked to point fingers and was a bit long-winded, and he could hardly come up with anything useful. Unexpectedly, when the two sides started working together, the designers of the engineering team immediately sighed by Song Shixian's talent.

In fact, Song Baojun has already paid more than three million yuan for this.

The originally bare open space in front of the door is now surrounded by three walls. There is an ancient and solemn European iron door at the intersection of the middle road. In fact, an automatic control system is installed to monitor the entry and exit of vehicles and personnel in real time, and open and close.

The vacant land fenced inside became the courtyard of the Song family, which was not very wide, but also about sixty or seventy square meters.

The people from the street office repeatedly guaranteed that all expenses would not be charged by the Song family, and all requirements were met as much as possible. Song Shixian no longer held back and let go of the design.

The garage with two fully automatic doors is covered on the left side of the courtyard to facilitate future parking. Although the Song family only has two old bicycles, this does not prevent the old man from having hope for a better life in the future. Since the conditions are sufficient now, the garage will be covered first. When the son finishes college, the family expenses will be abundant, and there will always be a car.

The turf was laid inside the courtyard, and only a small piece of mud was reserved on the right side, surrounded by bricks and stones that were 40 cm high. That was what the old man planned to use to plant trees.

When he was young, he had long fantasized about having a yard where two or three camphor trees were planted, which were as thick as a bucket. Then he found a suitable branch among the two camphor trees, made a swing, and after he had a child, he would take the children to have fun together. It was a real family happiness, and it made people feel involuntarily.

Unfortunately, my son is in college and my daughter is in high school, and she is just a fantasy that is stuck in her mind.

Now this wish is coming true!

From the entrance of the courtyard to the front of the old house, a regular rectangular bluestone slab is laid with about 1.6 meters wide, each stone slab is ten centimeters apart, and shallow grass is exposed in the middle, which is of a unique interest.

The planned camphor tree is covered with marble floors, and stone tables and benches will be installed in the future. Whenever summer night comes, the family can enjoy the cool and chat here, savor tea, enjoy snacks, and talk about the world.

A little further away, there is a small pavilion with a ditches of about 50 centimeters digging around it, and in the future, live water will be used to form a mini-shaped stream.

As for the old house, it requires overhaul inside and outside.

The old-fashioned wooden doors and windows have begun to decay more or less, and the glass cracks are cracked and broken. All of them are removed and new aluminum alloy doors and windows are installed.

The door of the old house is widened, and the one-meter-two-meter wall is removed without affecting the load bearing, and a transparent glass curtain wall is installed to facilitate lighting.

The wall mortar on the first and second floors is scraped off, and expensive wooden floors and wall skirts are laid. The living room and the kitchen are connected and separated by a noble and elegant storage rack.

The bathroom was completely renovated, opening up the utility room next to it, re-laying the sewer and line, and turning it into a large bathroom and installing a bathtub. The original bathroom was separated by an opaque glass wall and installed on the toilet. On the side of the door were a washbasin and a washing machine.

The window in front of the master bedroom of Song Shixian and Wu Guifang is opened, and a terrace is built outside the courtyard, making the bedroom more spacious.

The walls and beams are greatly reinforced, and the exterior walls are coated with waterproof and heat insulation, and then painted.

The rooms of Song Baojun, Song Jingtong, and Han Ruoyi and the bathroom on the second floor were all greatly renovated, with the balcony guardrails removed and new railings installed.

The roof is built with a half-story attic and is equipped with a pointed roof. At this point, the style of the old house has undergone earth-shaking changes, transforming from the original old Su-style tube building to a European-style villa full of exotic style.

When Song Baojun was driven back by Ling Anqi, the image transformation project was carried out for a little while.

Under Huang Dami's supervision, the engineering team worked day and night, working overtime for 24 hours a day. The project progressed rapidly and changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Often, a foundation was just dug in the morning and the wall was built up in the afternoon. By the evening, the door had been installed and a courtyard was almost formed.

In order to reduce the neighbors' resistance to day and night construction, the street office specially sent someone to buy fruit to visit nearby households, and then found that all this was futile. Song Shixian was extremely popular. When everyone heard that the Song family was doing decoration, they all agreed with each other and asked whether they would help. If they didn't work, they called my son over to move bricks for you for free.

A large truck and a crane were parked on the side of the road. Two camphor trees as thick as bowls were placed on the truck compartment, with fresh soil wrapped around the roots and wrapped in plastic film.

It cost 500 yuan to buy it from a suburban garden farm. The shipping fee is higher than the original price, so I plan to transplant it to a new courtyard.

Under the command of the old man, four workers dug two mud pits about 80 cm deep. Outside the road on the other side, the workers tied the camphor tree to slings and cleaned up the nearby idle personnel. The crane slowly lifted the camphor tree to the yard, straightened the position in the pit, filled the soil, and watered it. The work content was announced.

The foreman even wanted to cut a color to celebrate, but was dissuaded by Song Shixian.

"Xiaojun, come here to help me refer to the reference and see how these two trees are? Oh, Xiaoling is here to play." The old man saw his son and the giant girl get off the car and greeted him. Because of the bitter beating the owner of the Golden Dragon Restaurant, the old man had a good impression of Ling Anqi.

Ling Anqi blushed and replied, "Hello Uncle Song."

Song Baojun knew that the old man was called his reference in name, but in fact he just needed to keep saying good words of praise.

"Dad, these two camphor trees and the decoration styles of the courtyard really complement each other, playing a role in contrasting each other. The courtyard sets off the beauty of the camphor trees, and the camphor trees in turn set off the beautiful scenery of the courtyard. It's wonderful, it's really wonderful, and it has the finishing touch."

The old man's face looked much better and he said, "You kid are not useless."

"Dad, these are all the results of my humble learning."

The old man pulled through the open space in the front yard and the decorated building in the middle, walked to the empty 800-square-meter wasteland behind. He pointed to the front of him, as if a great leader was waving Fang Qiu, saying: "If you have this piece of land for me to sort it out, you will be almost satisfied in this life."

"Dad, what are your plans?"

"It's simple to say, but it's actually very complicated." The old man transformed himself into an ambitious General Patton again, pointing to the weedy ground opposite and said, "I plan to surround the pig pen here to raise a few pigs. It's easy to kill and cook for the New Year."

Seeing his son's face was unhesitant, he smiled and said, "I'm joking."

Song Baojun was sweating coldly and said, "Dad, it's rare that you are so humorous."

"Why don't you smile if I'm so humorous?" The old man glared at him with a dark face and continued, "I plan to open a pond here to make a rockery and water pavilion, but I'm afraid that the property rights will be unknown at that time, and I will waste my time and energy."

"Dad, the workers and funds are ready-made. We don't have to spend money on our family. What are you afraid of? If it is demolished in the future, our family will not lose much."

The old man's eyes lit up: "I feel much more comfortable when I say that."

"I thought of this mainly because I was inspired by my dad."

"You have been following Du Yinlang recently and have learned a lot of flattery."

The old man asked him to accompany him for a while, and to imagine the beautiful scene after the completion of the 800-square-meter wasteland transformation in the future. After a change of tone, he said, "Mei Junzhuo is my old comrade-in-arms. He treated me well on the front line of Laoshan back then, and was considered a kind man with affection and righteousness."

"Yes, yes." Song Baojun agreed with a fierce heart.

The old man said: "The girl from Lao Mei's family is still in her thirties and has not been married yet, so she doesn't count as much. Since he has found me to show off, no matter whether she succeeds, you should go and meet her before."

Song Baojun handed the old man a cigarette, lit one himself, and suddenly squatted down as if he had discovered a new continent, pointing to a grass on the ground and said, "Dad, look at this grass that looks very novel. Is it a new species? Oh my God, we are rich!"

The old man stepped on the grass and said, "It's just a dog-tail grass. Don't change the topic. Are you listening to what I said just now?"

"I listened," Song Baojun said repeatedly: "I'm afraid that his girl looks too high and looks down on me, and she will embarrass you and slander you."

"It's just a blind date, what's the relationship between success or failure? Have you ever had a girlfriend before?" The old man said without any mercy.

Ling Anqi, who followed behind the two of them as competent bodyguards, felt more and more awe-inspiring when she heard this: It turned out that the husband's father was so strict.
Chapter completed!
