Chapter 306 The Landlord in the Variety Show (4)
When Su Xiangran returned to Sujia Village for the second time, it had been more than a month since her last visit.
When she first arrived in the town, Su Xiangran signed up for broadband service from the local telecommunications company and made an appointment for home installation.
However, Su Xiangran did not call Su Hong. Instead, she found an electric tricycle to take herself back to Sujia Village.
The tricycle stopped directly in front of the old house, and Su Xiangran couldn't recognize it.
Only now did she understand why the Su family was able to find a son-in-law for her mother and had the money to buy them a house in the city. The ancestors of the Su family must have been very wealthy.
Now that the renovation of the old house's exterior has been basically completed, its former grandeur has returned. No wonder the house was built at the entrance of Sujia Village.
This is not a small shack at all; it is clearly a luxurious courtyard house hidden in this small village.
At present, the construction team is reinforcing and doing simple decoration inside the house.
"Ran girl, you're back!" Su Jiuxin just heard the sound of an electric tricycle. He came out to see who it was and saw her standing at the door without going in.
Su Xiangran pointed at the house and asked, "Uncle, is this my home?"
"Yes! According to your request, we didn't touch the original structure, we just reinforced and repaired it." Su Jiuxin looked at the house in front of him with pride, "Ran girl, your family used to be a famous wealthy family in our village!"
Su Jiuxin's eyes were full of nostalgia, as if he had returned to his childhood.
When other people were still living in mud houses, my third aunt's house was made of bricks and tiles. The high courtyard wall seemed as solid as a city wall to him when he was young.
Others have one or two rooms at most, but my third aunt's house is so nice! It has four rooms, and it is clean and bright, with a yard, a main room, and a well.
Every summer, his third aunt would treat him to cold noodles and watermelon. Although these are not rare now, they were good things back then.
My third aunt also planted wisteria in the yard, which is so beautiful when it blooms.
Of course, for farmers, beauty alone is not enough. Those flowers can also be turned into delicious pastries in the hands of my third aunt.
Thinking of this, Su Jiuxin's eyes were full of nostalgia. He turned to look at Su Xiangran and said, "Ran girl! I know you have moved your household registration back. You should take a rest first and then go back to work after a few days. Don't worry, with me here, no one in this village dares to bully you."
"Uncle, are there many markets here?" Su Xiangran asked after thinking for a while.
Although Su Jiuxin didn't understand what she meant, he still said, "Yes! There are big fairs every fifth and tenth day, and there are also gatherings during festivals."
"Then I'll just set up a stall and sell some things when the time comes." Su Xiangran is still very confident in his craftsmanship.
"You are a college student from the city, and you want to set up a stall here? This is not appropriate!" Su Jiuxin felt that he was wasting his talent. "Don't worry about the job. You have the education and knowledge. I can find one for you."
Su Xiangran wanted to refuse, but she also knew that Su Jiuxin was a kind-hearted person, so she said, "Uncle, it's okay. Although I'm back in the village, I can open an online store! Don't worry! I have hands and feet, I won't starve to death."
"Okay, as long as you can succeed on your own." Su Jiuxin felt that what Su Xiangran said made sense, so he didn't continue.
Instead, he picked up her luggage and walked towards his home while saying, "Ran girl, your house only needs some interior decoration. There is nothing particular about it in our village. We just need to paint it white and remodel the kitchen and bathroom.
Do you have any other requests?"
"I want the master to make some cabinets and furniture for me. It's not much. After all, the things my grandmother left behind can still be used."
"Okay, then let Carpenter Liu come up to your house and fix your things. You are quite frugal, girl." Su Jiuxin praised.
In fact, it’s not that Su Xiangran is frugal, but the old items left by her grandmother are all good things, and some of them are made of rosewood.
Even the box is made of camphor wood. It’s just that over time, the style has inevitably become a little out of fashion, but after being repaired, it still has a retro feel.
Su Xiangran, who has been to both the ancient and modern worlds, actually prefers that feeling.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Carpenter Liu from the neighboring village was called by Su Jiuxin. He took a look at Su Xiangran's "belongings" and was amazed.
"Everyone says that your Sujia Village is poor, but it turns out that you hide all the good things!" Carpenter Liu touched a cabinet with his hand, "This is made of rosewood, and it's carved with flowers. This kind of material is a good thing no matter where it is placed!"
"That's it!" Su Jiuxin said proudly, "Our Su family's ancestors were also rich. Don't touch it. It's not yours. Come and see if you can repair it?"
Carpenter Liu ignored him and looked at it for a long time before saying, "It can be repaired, but I have to say that repairing an old one is more expensive than rebuilding a new one. Don't accuse me of cheating you when I quote you a price."
"Uncle Liu, I understand this matter, just go ahead and fix it with peace of mind!" Su Xiangran said from the side.
Carpenter Liu looked at Su Xiangran and pulled Su Jiuxin aside: "This girl is our future daughter-in-law! Is this her dowry?"
