Siheyuan: Silly Zhu is not my father

Chapter 224 Planning
In addition to a Chinese toon tree in the yard, there is also a pomegranate tree in the west.

He Xiao took a closer look, and found that the tree was not small, he reckoned it was forty or fifty centimeters thick, and it grew lushly.

It's the flowering period now, and there are a lot of flowers blooming on the pomegranate tree. He looks forward to the pomegranates that will bear fruit in autumn.

"Mom, is the pomegranate on this tree sour or sweet?"

Lou Xiao'e was still staring at the toon tree, but when she heard this, she turned around and said, "It's sweet, it's so sweet. I used to harvest a big basket of pomegranates every year."

"That's it. This year, I have to taste the pomegranate at home."

He Xiao is very happy, he loves sweet things the most.

Looking back, I looked at the courtyard again. Except for these two trees, there was nothing else in the courtyard, and it seemed very empty.

Oh yes, except weeds.

After watching the courtyard, Lou Xiaoe greeted her son and went to the north room.

Gently pushing open the door, she saw the scene inside the room, and her face darkened immediately, "I really don't leave it to me at all."

He Xiao felt a little curious when he heard Lou Xiaoe's words. He took a closer look and saw that the inside was empty, not even a broken chair.

Well, don't think about it, the furniture inside must have been taken away long ago.

He was very regretful in his heart, what a pity, the Lou family was not short of money before, and the furniture they used must be good, which is great, all of them are cheaper than others.

"I don't believe it, it's really so clean?"

Lou Xiao'e gritted her teeth, a little unwilling to give up, and immediately went to another room to have a look.

The left and right side rooms, and the east and west wing rooms are all the same as the main room, and they are empty, with nothing at all.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e gave up, she looked unhappy, the search was too clean, she didn't even leave any garbage for her.

"Mom, forget it, as long as the house comes back, we will collect the furniture later. I will inquire after I get back. I will guarantee you a set of ancient Ming and Qing red sandalwood and yellow flower furniture."

He Xiao came over to comfort him, he was in a good mood, after all, there is still such a big house.

"Mum doesn't want it. I don't know how many people have used it. I am shocked. I will find someone to make a new set."

Lou Xiao'e gave her son a blank look, she doesn't care about antiques, it's best to use them comfortably.

Like those ancient chairs, are they as comfortable as sofas?
"Then you use some good wood, at least it must be huanghuali."

He Xiao touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

But it doesn't matter to him when he thinks about it, what Lou Xiao'e said is the truth, it's really not good to hold and reuse things that others have used.

Shaking his head, he wandered around the courtyard by himself.

In the southwest corner of the yard, there was a small door. He walked in and took a look, and there was a backyard inside.

But the yard here is very small, he opened the door and looked inside the house, and the inside was also empty, there was nothing left except the house.

After strolling around, he went to the Dongkua courtyard behind the screen wall.

The yard here is not big, but it is quite exquisite. There is also a big stone tank in the yard. He took a closer look and saw a lotus blooming on the water.

"Hey, I still have a conscience."

He Xiao shook his head with a smile. Such a big water tank is heavy and useless, otherwise it would not be able to keep it.

He went to the north room to have a look, and he reckoned that it was three rooms in size, so it would be good for him to live in this courtyard in the future.

"The front yard, the east courtyard, the inner yard, and the back yard are all around, but there are only two people in the family. It's really deserted to live here."

He Xiao thought about it, and felt a little anxious.

In such a big house, he and Lou Xiaoe lived alone, how deserted it was, even with his grandma in Xiangjiang, there were only three people.

"Hey, the population is thin, and I will have to rely on me in the future."

Sighing helplessly, he closed the door and went to the East and West Wings to look again.

The houses on both sides were similar, so he walked around, then went back to the courtyard to find Lou Xiaoe.

"Mom, I checked the house once, and it's all pretty good, but it's a little dilapidated and needs to be repaired."

Lou Xiaoe nodded, she had already done this.

"Mummy has already gone to find someone. Our house needs to be repaired by old craftsmen. We will move in."

He Xiao was quite looking forward to it. He will be returning to Xiangjiang in a few days, and he doesn't know if he can live in this year.

After thinking about it, he hastily said:
"By the way, mom, simple repairs are not enough. You have to make some serious changes. Toilets, bathrooms, sewers, etc., all have to be built, otherwise I'm afraid they won't be allowed to be rebuilt in the future."

In a few years, the courtyard house will become a protected building. Hey, it will be troublesome to move it at that time.

Lou Xiaoe was taken aback for a moment, thinking that she was still a little embarrassed, it would take a long time to make a move.

But what her son said made sense, once you repair a house, you have to repair it neatly, she finally nodded in agreement.

"We also need to design this yard, build a glass house, we will have flowers to see in winter, and dig a small pond to raise some goldfish."

He Xiao was in high spirits, and he led Lou Xiao'e to explain all his thoughts on the yard.

If I want to live here in the future, all kinds of modern electrical appliances are indispensable, and I have to build a garage, otherwise I won’t be able to park a car in the future.

By the way, we have to build another vault, where all the valuables at home are hidden.

After chatting until noon, the two reluctantly left.

After locking the courtyard door again, He Xiao looked at Lou Xiaoe.

"It's getting late, let's go eat, just to see how the restaurant is open."

He Xiao didn't refuse when he heard it, and he followed Lou Xiao'e to the nearby Cuihua Building.

This is also a time-honored restaurant. He remembered that Shazhu wanted to come here as an apprentice, but was rejected by others. He had to try the food here.

Today was a working day, but the business in the building was booming. The two waited for a while before a table was vacated.

Lou Xiao'e ordered a bunch of dishes, and after they came up, she tasted them one by one, and then her face became a little dignified.

"Sure enough, there is a brush."

He Xiao nodded in agreement, this is not a matter of brushes, the food here tastes really good.

There are a few dishes that he tastes better than Fengzeyuan's.

If you compare it with Sha Zhu, um...

He Xiao smacked his lips, and it can only be said that each has its own characteristics. Cuihualou's dishes are particularly delicious, and Shazhu's Tan's dishes are delicious.

"Hey, this chef is really hard to find, He Xiao, what is Shazhu up to lately?"

Lou Xiaoe sighed and thought of Sha Zhu again.

Her restaurant wants to gain a foothold in the capital, and the taste is not bad. She has contacted several masters recently, but they are not very satisfied.

"He? Who knows, maybe he's busy telling the truth."

He Xiao curled his lips, too lazy to tell Lou Xiaoe about Sha Zhu, he was not only telling the news, but also busy peeping.

Seeing that her son didn't want to talk about it, Lou Xiaoe didn't ask any more. Forget it, she will go and see for herself when she has time.

Holding the chopsticks to pick up some food for her son, she lowered her head and started eating.
