Return To 1977 Chapter 476: Decoration

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

This is really not for nothing! There is no such thing as a lie!

The peach blossoms in the outer courtyard and the "Xifu Begonia" in the inner courtyard are both past their flowering period. The beautiful scenery of spring has indeed disappeared.

In order to repair the verandah, more than half of the "wisteria" that originally covered the top of the verandah was cut down. The old vines that have been growing for decades have not only lost their former freshness and elegance, but have become rather ferocious.

But these regrets have been completely made up for by the brand-new houses and fun life scenes.

It was the last hour before sunset. Although the sky was still bright, the sunlight had begun to soften and become charming. The entire courtyard, which exuded the fragrant smell of vegetation, was dyed orange together, as if it had been plated with gold.

This kind of scene can be painted into a picture, which is both refreshing and melancholy.

But it doesn’t matter, because no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is just a foil. The people in the yard are the real focus.

When Hong Yanzheng and his wife walked into the large courtyard with their half-year-old child and Hong Yanwencai, the first thing they saw was Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin sitting happily together on the stone table under the west wall. Drink tea nearby.

Behind the old couple is a lilac tree with purple flowers. In addition to the tea set, there is also a pot of fresh red cherries and a pot of white mulberries on the table. All the containers are made of pastel-colored old objects, and they look so comfortable and comfortable at first glance.

The children of the Hong family all have rules. The first priority is to step forward, salute, and call mom and dad.

But just as they were about to walk over, they heard a door knock in the eastern building, and two girls pushed the door open and came out one after another. This immediately attracted their attention.

The person walking in front is Hong Yanru, followed by "Tang Xin'er". I saw them all smiling and waving.

The most surprising thing is that they all hold a white enamel basin with a wet towel in their hands, and even their hair is wet. It looked like a hibiscus emerging from water, as if it had just been taken a shower.

Can I actually take a shower at home? Did the third child really buy a boiler?

Hong Yanzheng was most surprised by this.

But before he could figure out his question, someone screamed again from the second floor attic in the inner courtyard.

"Third uncle! It's bright, it's beautiful!"

"Uncle Quanzi! Go a little further to the left! Yes, left!"

Everyone looked to the west together and saw Hong Jun under the tall and dignified attic in the inner courtyard, looking up, clapping his hands, and jumping around in praise.

On the second floor attic, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were hanging lanterns under the eaves of the attic and connecting light bulbs one by one.

The wires must have been laid out a long time ago, and there are obviously separate power switches upstairs, so the beige winter melon lanterns hung on three sides of the wooden attic are all lit up. There is only one last moment left, and the two of them are still busy making love.

This situation is matched with the content of the "Picture of a Hundred Sons Playing" on the wall. The picture matches the scene and the scene contrasts with the picture. The family is harmonious and happy.

It really makes people feel warm, peaceful and inexplicably excited. Who can not love such a picture?

In this case, Hong Yanzheng, Xu Manli, and Hong Yanwen were all without exception, and the eyes on their faces could not find a proper home. For the first time in history, I forgot my etiquette.

In the end, Hong Yi was the first to make a fuss and open his hands to his grandparents, and Hong Yanru came over with "Tang Xin'er" to say hello to them. It was as if they were waking up from a dream and realized their omission. I quickly said a few polite words to "Tang Xin'er" and came to see my parents one by one, both of whom couldn't help but blush.

The parents didn't mind, especially Wang Yunlin. She was not only very happy but also very understanding today. He smiled and said to his children, "It's normal for your eyes not to be able to use enough. We who have just arrived also don't know where to put our eyes. We are not in a hurry to eat today, everything is ready-made. It's just Xiaowu and Quanzi who want more Let’s work on it for a while. There will be lanterns hanging under the house later. If you are curious, you can see if I am exaggerating. By the way, you can take a bath here. , Laosan bought new basins and new towels for everyone, so whoever wants to can take a nice hot bath right away... This is really a good time..."

If you get what your mother says, will Hong Yanzheng and the others be able to endure it? As soon as Hong Yi was handed over to the children's grandparents, they immediately became very happy and walked around the house.

When I saw it, I was even more surprised and eye-opening.

Let’s talk about the main room with one large, four small and five rooms first.

In the middle is the central hall, which can be used as bedrooms and studies on both sides. The layout is quite satisfactory, and there is nothing much to say about it.

But as soon as Hong Yanzheng and others entered the room, they noticed that there were extremely elegant eight-screen carved floor-to-ceiling partitions on both sides of the central hall, creating an extremely gorgeous style for this hall.

Looking closer, it’s even more amazing. The three of them unexpectedly discovered that this carved partition was not only made of high-quality wood and first-class carving, but the most amazing thing was that it was not dead, but alive and could move.

Once the carved partitions on both sides are completely opened, the central hall and the rooms on both sides can become a complete large room, enough to hold seven or eight tables of banquets.

Actually, these partitions are the good things that Hong Yanwu bought at the "Trust Store" in the first few days. They are also the partition structure often called "Bisha Cabinet" in the south.

Because these partition lattice strips are divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers. In the old days, the yarn was sandwiched. The yarn was either milky white, light blue, or turquoise. The color was bright and elegant. You could also ask talented painters to write poems and paintings on them. The plum blossoms sing the bamboos, the calligraphy and ink are fragrant, and the elegance is perfect. That's why it got this common name.

It must be said that this design is a masterpiece in the field of ancient building decoration, which greatly enhances the ductility and practicality of the space. Even today, there are few such spiritual designs.

Hong Yanwen first praised the cleverness. Xu Manli also echoed.

But I don’t know if Hong Yanzheng has become accustomed to being picky about everything Hong Yanwu does. Perhaps he wants to act like an expert, but he says so.

"You are still praising me? I think you took off your pants and farted! These partitions are good, and only a craftsman like my master can do this kind of workmanship. But why does our family need such a big place? Will it be bigger in the future? Is it possible to have a cocktail party for guests like in the movie? Installing such a thing will not soundproof it. This is a bit of a show-off, probably because of the exquisite partitions..."

Hong Yanwen and Xu Manli both nodded and smiled after hearing this, and they couldn't help but feel that Hong Yanzheng's words made sense.

Never would they have thought of it. Contrary to Hong Yanzheng's criticisms, from now on this is really the place where the Hong family holds gatherings most praised by outsiders.

Many outsiders who have participated in Hong family banquets and receptions in the Hong family's "Flower Hall Courtyard" often regard such experiences as a kind of capital that they can boast about in their lives.

In addition to the layout, Hong Yanzheng and the three of them found more obvious flaws in the interior decoration.

Despite the blue brick floor, green brick walls, and the decorative method of using lamination strips to distinguish the white walls from the wall surrounds, the entire interior becomes simple and clean, yet harmonious and harmonious.

Despite the double-glazed doors and windows and the radiators on the walls, it is guaranteed to keep the interior as warm as spring in winter. These are all unique designs.

But they really don’t understand why there are so many power sockets installed under the wall.

There are more electrical appliances at home than other homes, but they are just a TV, a washing machine, a refrigerator and an electric fan.

Hong Yanzheng complained, "Why is the third brother doing all this? Are we going to have to put standing lamps everywhere in our house from now on? Look at how many chandeliers are installed on the roof. Otherwise, he just wants to put the TV and electric Changing the fan? I don’t know what to say to him. This is obviously a sign of overeating. It’s just a stupid move!”

Xu Manli persuaded her with a smile. "It's quite noisy, and it also consumes electricity. But I can see that the third child is really attentive. Don't talk about him later, he has to work hard to get it wrong. Besides, my parents will be unhappy after hearing this... ”

Hong Yanwen also said. "Brother, the third child has hard work even if he doesn't have any credit. After all, he is really good in general, far beyond my imagination. Besides, he is still young, and it takes talent to be able to do things like this. A little bit of incompetence We have to understand the mistakes..."

Hong Yanzheng made a statement at this time. "You are really protective. Don't worry, I won't ruin everyone's happiness. I am a fair person. Although I have shortcomings, I do have a lot of advantages. Let's be honest, I definitely can't make him like this anyway. ..."

"Hey, is your last sentence derogatory or complimentary? Why can't I hear it?"

With Xu Manli's words, Hong Yanzheng and Hong Yanwen both became happy.

If Hong Yanzheng, Xu Manli, and Hong Yanwen found out some "unsatisfactory" aspects of the main house. But when it came time to see the piansha, the three of them really couldn't tell that they were not here at all.

Because the original three rooms really gave Hong Yanwu a lot of fun.

This guy first built two slightly shorter and slightly smaller rooms at the north and south ends of the partial building. This makes it five rooms.

From a functional point of view, this is the specific arrangement.

The small room in the north is used as a storage room, which is used as a storage room for sundries.

The first room was converted into a kitchen, and the second room was converted into a dining room. In addition, a door was specially opened on the wall between the two rooms for easy access.

The third room is a bathing and convenience place.

Hong Yanwu had someone build a new T-shaped wall inside, dividing the 18-square-meter house into three parts like the structure of a public toilet.

Large glass and two ceramic wash basins are installed on the outermost horizontal wall. The room on the left is equipped with three shower heads, so three people can take a shower together. The room on the right is used as a toilet.

Taking into account people's current living habits, we specially designed a squat toilet and a sitting toilet, both with vertical water tanks.

As for the last small room in the south, it is of course the boiler room. Hong Yanwu actually got one, and he was still in charge of the wiring and switches. Not only this courtyard, but also the West Cross Courtyard and the East Cross Courtyard will be fully available for use once they are completed.

In short, this row of rooms is extremely considerate and convenient in terms of functionality. It not only takes into account privacy and hygiene, but also has great practicality.

As for aesthetics. The large-scale application of ceramics in kitchens and bathrooms is something that most people cannot imagine these days. Not only does it have good water resistance, it is easy to clean, and it also looks bright.

Although it is a bit monotonous due to the small number of varieties, Hong Yanwu's knowledge far ahead of the times played a key role.

This boy asked Mr. Shan’s craftsmen to carve out many tiles to make the waistline. We also had people paint and varnish some of the tiles.

Even the ditch holes in the sewers are carved with money-eye patterns. This not only breaks the overall boredom. It also improved the style of these rooms.

How could this not surprise Hong Yanzheng and Hong Yanwen, who were used to the dirty and smelly official latrines, and Xu Manli, who was used to the dark and simple kitchen? How can you not admire it? How could you not admire it?

At this point, after looking around, no one can help but praise it sincerely.

"Look at our third child, his brain is probably born to install kitchens and toilets. Oh! It's a pity that he didn't do this! It was a waste of this material..."

At the same time, Hong Yanwu in the attic suddenly had an itchy nose and sneezed for no reason. His hands trembled and he almost didn't touch the wires he had just cut.
