Chapter 493: My adopted sister returned to her hometown to farm (8)
The house in Yao Sisi's hometown actually covers a fairly large area.
There are two spacious and bright main rooms, and an open shed used as a kitchen.
Originally, the kitchen was located in the inner room.
But later, as her father Yao Tianming grew up, in order to create better learning conditions and environment for him, Old Lady Yao gave up the room she lived in and moved the kitchen outdoors.
Old Mrs. Yao’s own room is the bedroom that was converted from the kitchen.
Many years later, Yao Tianming left his hometown, but the frugal old lady Yao did not make further adjustments to the overall layout of the house in order to save money.
This time, however, the village underwent a comprehensive unified renovation project.
Except for a few old houses of great historical value and commemorative significance that have been preserved in their original state, the rest of the mud houses must be replaced with sturdy and beautiful brick houses.
This renovation provides up to three different architectural styles for villagers to choose from, all of which are carefully built to match the unique style and charm of the ancient town.
Since the Xiao family's house happened to be located in a prominent position at the entrance of the village, it naturally became one of the first objects to be built.
After carefully studying several versions of exquisite design drawings, it seemed as if a secret switch deep in Yao Sisi's heart was quietly touched.
Yao Sisi has never been a lazy person, she also has her own dreams.
Although over the years, whenever I mentioned these ideas, I would be severely criticized by "certain people".
But deep in her heart, those things have never been given up.
Yao Sisi just stopped talking about it, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to.
The renovation of her home seemed to be an opportunity to realize her dream - she wanted to open a restaurant and share delicious food with many people.
Among these drawings, this is the one Yao Sisi likes best.
There is a two-story building in the shape of a Chinese character "U".
The courtyard is surrounded by small houses on four sides. There are some flowering trees in the yard and chairs for guests to dine.
The corridor is no longer a low brick wall, but has been raised a lot. With a fitting wooden board laid on it, it becomes a high-legged dining table.
Maybe she can’t entertain many people at once, but it doesn’t matter, because she is the only one in the store anyway.
At that time, she will hang a lot of lanterns in the corridor. When night comes, the dim lights will definitely be very artistic.
The only problem is that it’s quite cold here in winter, so people may not be able to sit in the yard.
But what does it matter! Watching the snow in the porch or through the window in a warm room is also a good choice.
Thinking of this, Yao Sisi chose this drawing.
When Xiao Lang saw the blueprint of the house, he confirmed it again and again before saying, "This is just a rendering. The appearance and structure of the house will be based on the blueprint, but in fact, there is nothing inside..."
"I know!" Yao Sisi took a photo of the rendering. "After the renovation is completed, I will do the interior decoration according to this."
After thinking for a while, she added: "Brother Xiao, I want to open a restaurant."
Hearing this, Xiao Lang was speechless at first, then he carefully checked the planning of the village. After a while, he said: "Opening a restaurant here is indeed a good choice."
Then the two continued to discuss the issue of house renovation.
Because Yao Sisi's hometown covers a relatively large area.
So
"Sisi! Actually, after the house is built, there is still some space here after the normal position of the yard is removed." Xiao Lang drew a circle on the paper with a pen. "It's a pity to leave it empty. It was originally a foundation. Why don't you build a small house here to separate the restaurant from where you live?"
After hearing this, Yao Sisi's eyes lit up. She had originally wanted to reserve a bedroom for herself on the second floor.
But now it is naturally the best thing to separate the residence and the shop.
"It's just that this small house is not within the scope of renovation, so you may need to pay for it yourself." Xiao Lang said a little embarrassedly, "I know that a fresh graduate may not have much money, but you can get a loan."
Although the government paid for this renovation, the villagers themselves will have to bear part of the cost of the interior decoration.
Some people cannot come up with a large sum of money, and the government will provide loans at low interest rates.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao. It's okay. I have money!" Yao Sisi said nonchalantly. "It's just that I don't know much about building a house and decorating it. I really have to trouble you for some things."
"It's okay, I will keep an eye on these things. Besides, I am in charge of this area!" Xiao Lang patted his chest and promised.
After a few visits, Yao Sisi had lived in her hometown for more than a month. Once the construction of the house started, it would be completed soon. When the Chinese New Year was approaching, she received a call from her mother Fang Jing.
"Sisi! When will you come back for the New Year? Mommy misses you!" Fang Jing's voice was a little aggrieved. "You don't know that during the time you were away, I couldn't even enjoy my meals."
Song Tao, who was standing by, pointed at himself and nodded, which meant that he missed his daughter too. I hope it’s a restaurant like this.
