Chapter 355: Kitchen arrangement
Seeing that her parents were very satisfied, Song Tan struck while the iron was hot, making persistent efforts to get them to open their hearts and forget the expenses:
"Dad, actually, there are people in other villages building villas now, so this is nothing rare. But can theirs be built as comfortably as ours? Not to mention anything else, who seriously spends money to hire a designer? Who is willing to burn a stove for floor heating? I guess we are the first in the ten miles and eight villages!"
"And this central air conditioning, it's not hot yet, but when it's turned on at noon, the whole house will be comfortable!"
"That's right!"
Song Sancheng thought about it and couldn't help but be happy again. It seems that whether it's electricity or coal for firewood later... that's not called spending money.
After turning around the first and second floors, everyone followed Qiao Qiao to stroll on the open-air balcony on the third floor. Wu Lan blew the wind and looked at the sun rising on the edge of the distant mountains and forests, and at this moment, she couldn't help but ponder:
"This place is so good. Later, sausages and bacon can be dried here, and I'm not afraid of wild cats and dogs stealing them."
Oh my god!
Song Tan couldn't help but laugh.
"Mom, there are separate stairs on both sides of these two buildings that can go down from the third floor. Won't the cats go up the stairs?"
The left side goes down from the second floor to the courtyard, and the right side goes down from the third floor to the courtyard. They don't walk indoors, mainly because it's convenient when strangers come over occasionally.
Two toilets were also built under the stairs, and the angle is very hidden.
"Besides, is it just cats stealing meat? Birds steal too. It can be seen when people come and go in the courtyard. Who looks at it when it's on the third floor?"
Wu Lan imagined it, and couldn't help but laugh at this moment: "What are you in a hurry for? It's just that the place is too spacious, and I haven't thought about how to use it yet..."
"You'll know when you move in."
Song Tan pushed her shoulder and sent her down: "Go and see your walk-in closet, see what clothes you need to buy, and let's try to fill it up."
Speaking of this, Wu Lan got angry:
"I haven't talked about you yet. Why make such a big room specifically for clothes and shoes? Are you showing off? Besides, if you hadn't thrown away my original clothes, it would be great to put them here. They were all good..."
Song Tan:...... Okay, wrong topic.
She hurriedly raised her voice: "Seventh Cousin, how is the kitchen?"
The kitchen is of course first-class!
On the left is a large dining room with a large round table inside, enough for the whole family to eat lively.
A door opening was made in the wall to connect to the kitchen.
The kitchen has white walls and gray tiles, the stove is polished brightly, there is a convenient gas stove, and a daily large firewood stove. The storage cabinets are designed to be very convenient, and there are several faucets.
The firewood on the side is stacked neatly, behind the stove, but separated by a distance, looking spacious and safe, no longer like the cramped appearance of shrinking in the courtyard before.
And...
Seventh Cousin looked at the air conditioner hanging above and couldn't help but sigh again: "If the air conditioner is placed in this place, the oily smoke will ruin it in two years."
"It's okay."
Song Tan came over and turned on the air conditioner: "It's so hot, how much suffering is it to cook! It's already installed, and it will be damaged if you don't use it, so it's better to use it enough."
"Just right, it is estimated that a group of people will come for breakfast in a while. Seventh Cousin, you can take the opportunity to familiarize yourself, boil a pot of porridge, and then make some scallion flower rolls or chili sauce rolls."
"Also boil some silver ear soup, and drink it when they come back tired."
"By the way, Dad, pick a few watermelons later and soak them in cold water..."
"And the tea leaves you picked, take them out too, I'll invite my classmates to drink..."
Everyone:......
Zhang Yanping had just walked down from the third floor to the courtyard with satisfaction, and heard Song Tan's arrangements back and forth, and couldn't help but shake his head:
"It seems that this is really poor!"
When these words were said, Aunt Lianhua, who came over early in the morning to help, couldn't help laughing.
"But Tan Tan..." She wiped her hands with her apron somewhat constrainedly, and then asked: "If I have to clean this big house by myself, I won't be able to do other work."
There are three floors up and down. Wiping, sweeping, mopping, etc., even if Song Tan got that vacuum cleaner, floor washing machine, robot, etc., it is really a big effort.
Aunt Lianhua had never cleaned such a good house, and she was panicked at this moment.
Song Tan had an idea about this:
"Auntie, I was just about to discuss with you—we clean our own rooms. You still do the current work. Every three or five days, take time to clean the living room and the balcony above."
"The salary is as we agreed, 4000 yuan a month, four days off a month, and we ask for leave normally if there is anything, do you think it's okay?"
Originally, she just helped wash dishes, brush pots, tidy up vegetables, pack meals, and take care of the old lady's food, and the salary was not high.
But Aunt Lianhua was too diligent, and the old lady at home hadn't stopped working since she was brought by her side. From morning to night, she wanted to do all the work in the house, and she never had a moment of leisure.
In this way, the salary had to be raised again and again, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each took a share, so that now it is second only to Seventh Cousin and Xin Jun.
"And Seventh Grandma," Song Tan also pondered: "You said you wouldn't help, but you are here every day burning fire and helping to pick vegetables... Why don't I pay you 1500 a month too. Seventh Grandma, don't dislike that I don't pay much!"
It's really that she does light work, just like Aunt Lianhua at the beginning.
"I won't dislike it."
Seventh Grandma was not coy at all: "I just want it to be lively here."
She hadn't been in the village for so many years, and she didn't know what to chat about with others. Chatting here, picking vegetables and burning fire, how comfortable!

"But Tan Tan, don't look down on me after taking your salary."
"Look at your Seventh Cousin, the two of us may be destined to dig for food in the soil. Now that we are back in the village, our spirits are getting better day by day!"
"If you have any work, just order it, otherwise I can't hold this salary. At my age in the village, it's not yet time to stop moving!"
In this way, Aunt Lianhua's work was shared again.
Song Tan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Pondering this, plus Zhang Wang's family, the family has to pay nearly 20,000 yuan in salary every month!
Wu Lan and Song Sancheng were immediately under pressure. Pondering what they could eat at home, they made up their minds to sell goods well.
Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun had no objections—after all, Zhang Yanping had a commission and the work was easy.
Xin Jun's work was even easier, and he even helped write copy. Although Song Tan did not raise his salary, she gave him a separate package for whatever he wrote, which was already more practical than the salary.
Just because of this, he could cope with his mother's various urges!
Seeing that everyone was excitedly looking forward to the future in the room. Song Tan checked the time—7:30 in the morning.
She cleared her throat:
"That... Teacher Xin, there is one more thing I haven't told you."
"What?" Xin Jun was unprepared.
"It's Wu Qianqian... she's coming today too."
Xin Jun:......
At this moment, he remembered Wu Qianqian's misunderstanding, and the big-headed doll popsicle he didn't get to eat...
So he immediately walked towards the stairs: "I'm responsible for writing product copy and preparing lessons today. If there's anything, please contact me by phone." ===== CHAPTER 356 =====
