Chapter 38
Although the first meal back to the village was late, Xu Qingya still ate happily and to the fullest.Seeing that the third aunt prepared a table full of dishes, no matter how stupid Xu Qingya was, she knew that the third aunt really loved her.

Even when eating, Xu Haibao joked with a smile: "Auntie, it's not fair! When Xiaoya returned to the village, you prepared such a rich table of dishes. The last time I came back, why only a few bowls! It's not fair !"

As a result, the third aunt laughed and scolded, "Bao Wa, are you still jealous of your own sister?"

From this conversation, Xu Qingya also knew that her return really made Third Aunt very happy.Otherwise, they would not have specially prepared such a large table of dishes.In fact, four people simply cannot finish so many dishes.

Fortunately, it is winter, and I am not afraid to eat these dishes.If it was summer, the leftovers would probably be wasted.This feeling of being loved by someone still made Xu Qingya very happy.

Taking advantage of the meal, Xu Haibao also said at the right time: "Third uncle, is there anyone in the village who can repair houses? I plan to renovate the old house and build a bathroom and shower room. When my parents come back, they should be able to use them. "

"Repair the bathroom? Yes! Your old Uncle Wu has always been doing this. A few years ago, he was doing renovations for people in the city. After dinner, I will go to his house with you. Anyway, he just happens to be fine. Do your parents know about this?"

"Yes, I told them all when I came back. In fact, I plan to renovate your house this time. Repairing a bathroom and installing a water heater is only a matter of tens of thousands of dollars, and it won't take a few days time."

Hearing this, Xu Licheng quickly shook his head and said, "What are you spending that wronged money for? You don't spend money like this!"

"Third Uncle, you are used to it. But think about it, if Hai Xing finds a girlfriend in the city, next time she will bring her back home for you to have a look at. There is not even a separate bathroom and a place to take a bath. The girl will What do you think?"

Knowing that the third uncle and the third aunt are thrifty, it would be impossible to persuade them to renovate the old house together.But when it comes to the future daughter-in-law, Xu Haibao believes that both of them will be willing to spend this little money on decoration.

In fact, Xu Haibao has another purpose for doing this.That is, to engage in fisherman's entertainment in the future.Installing a toilet and a water heater is also convenient for tourists to spend the night on the island without finding a place to take a bath.

Many villagers in fishing villages are used to boiling hot water by themselves and then hiding in their rooms to wash.As for summer, swim a few laps in the sea, and rinse with fresh water again when you come back, even if you have taken a bath.In such matters, the villagers are very casual.

Hearing Xu Haibao's words, Xu Licheng was stunned and felt that there was some truth.But in the end, he still said: "Let's forget it for the time being! That kid just started working, and his girlfriend doesn't know where he is yet! Don't worry!"

I understand that some things cannot be rushed. If I want to change some inherent concepts of the villagers, I must let them feel the benefits of decorating old houses.At least Xu Haibao believes that toilets and bathrooms are essential for hosting tourists in the future.

After eating, Xu Licheng brought his two siblings to Du Xingwu's house in the village.As a professional craftsman in the village, Du Xingwu's house-building craftsmanship was also inherited from his father's generation. He is almost always approached for building houses in the village.

It's just that the craft that was popular back then is hard to find a job to do now.After all, Fulin Island is already the easternmost island in the East China Sea. There used to be people living on Washan Island nearby, but it was moved into the city a few years ago, and the whole village was abandoned.

In this case, most of those who have the money to build a house in the village will choose to buy a house in the city.Even if they can't live, they also hope to send their children to the city and prevent them from following their old ways and continue to live in the fishing village.

No one was rebuilding a new house, so naturally Du Xingwu couldn't find anything to do.Although from time to time he goes fishing in partnership with others, but such work as fishing is not good at Du Xingwu.If there is a chance, Du Xingwu will also go to the city to find some casual jobs.

Seeing Xu Licheng and Xu Haibao brothers and sisters entering the door, Du Xingwu was a little surprised and said: "Licheng, why are you here? This is Liyan's daughter, right? I haven't seen each other for a long time, and she has grown into a big girl."

"Old Uncle Wu, hello, I'm Qingya!"

"Hello, hello! Sit down, sit down, the house is a bit messy, don't mind!"

Although Xu Haibao's family has moved into the city, many older villagers in the village know that Xu Liyan's family will come back from time to time.It's just that the number of visits has decreased in recent years.

After taking his seat, Xu Licheng also smiled and said, "Old Wu, are you okay these days?"

"It's nothing! You stay at home every day and eat idle food! You brought Baowa brothers and sisters here, so there should be something to do?"

"Yeah! Baowa is planning to repair a bathroom and install a water heater. I thought you were at home, so I brought them here to find you. My eldest brother and his wife plan to return to the village for the New Year this year. Isn't it more convenient to have a bathroom and a house for bathing?" some!"

"Okay! There should be no problem with this matter! However, as for the materials, what should you say if you buy them yourself?"

Hearing that Xu Haibao planned to renovate the old house, even a bathroom.But to Du Xingwu, that was also a deal.He has crafts but no work to do. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, he also wants to earn more money for the Chinese New Year!

Building a bathroom is naturally not a big project for Du Xingwu.But if you work alone, you can earn a few days' wages anyway.Anyway, staying at home and being idle is also idle, and it is also a good thing to earn some money for the New Year!

Xu Haibao, who was staying at the side, listened to the conversation between the two and quickly said: "Old Uncle Wu, if you are fine now, why don't you go to my house first. Choose that place to decorate the bathroom, and I will also listen to you Views.

In fact, I originally planned to renovate the old house, but seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I guess the time is too late.Later, I will discuss the renovation with you by the way, and you can also help out with ideas.

If there is no big problem, I will also arrange for you to renovate the old house.By the way, are there many people in the village who know how to do masonry?If there are more people, I should be able to pull some work for you next year. "

"Are you planning to renovate the old house? Are you planning to live in the village for a long time instead of going to the city?"

From Du Xingwu's point of view, none of today's young people is willing to stay in the village.As long as there is a way out, they will choose to stay in the city.But from Xu Haibao's point of view, it seems that he plans to build a large-scale construction project in the village, and he doesn't plan to go to the city.

Facing Du Xingwu's inquiry and third uncle's confusion, Xu Haibao smiled and said, "Let's talk about this after the New Year!"

I know that some things should not be said too clearly for the time being, otherwise I am afraid that it will attract gossip from the villagers.But for Xu Haibao, if he really wants to engage in island tourism in the future, the first thing that needs to be changed is the accommodation environment in his village.

Xu Haibao, who was returning to the village this time, also planned to discuss with the village chief about buying the dilapidated old house in the village and renovating it.Most of the houses in the fishing village are built of stones, even if they have been abandoned, the foundation is very strong.

If such a house is repaired, Xu Haibao plans to make it into an island hotel.At that time, some visiting tourists will be received for board and lodging.In Xu Haibao's view, as long as those old houses are well repaired, they are all good houses facing the sea!
When the four of them came to Xu Haibao's old house together and walked into this two-story building with a courtyard, Xu Qingya also felt very cordial.Looking at the pressurized well in the yard, Xu Qingya shook it a few times with great interest.

"Ah! Brother, this well is still usable!"

"Why can't it be used? The water from our well is still delicious! When the old house is renovated, I plan to build a water tower upstairs and install tap water at that time, so that it will be more convenient to use water at home."

Seeing his little sister returning to the old house with a curious and happy expression on her face, Xu Haibao also couldn't laugh or cry.It's just that he knew that Xu Qingya would still choose to stay in the city for the New Year if he hadn't returned from the army this time.

Du Xingwu, who walked in with him, looked at the layout of the house, and said quickly, "Bao Wa, do you plan to do the toilet and bathroom separately, or together?"

"Old Uncle Wu, what do you think?"

"If you want to save trouble, you can build a bathroom under the stairs on the first floor. I looked at it just now, and the area there is quite large. It is also possible to build the bathroom together with the bathroom. It's just that it is inconvenient to use.

If you really want to renovate the old house, then I suggest you do it both upstairs and downstairs.Build a squatting toilet on the first floor, and build a toilet on the second floor.If you take a shower, you can put one or two! "

For Du Xingwu, he was invited by Xu Haibao to do things and give suggestions.But he also knows that the cost of repairing two bathrooms is definitely higher than repairing one bathroom.Therefore, how to choose depends on Xu Haibao.

After some discussion and discussion, Xu Qingya finally decided to fix the two directly.The reason is simple, if she lives at home, she must live in the upstairs room.There is a toilet and bathroom upstairs, which is undoubtedly more convenient!
