Chapter 27, Discussing Plans

The second child is my good grandson Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan is Lei Keming. He is the second child at home, so we usually call him Lei Laoer. You can just call him Uncle Lei.

Hello, Uncle Lei. After listening to Grandma Lu’s introduction, Jiang Yan spoke first.

Hello young master, Lei Laoer also said hello warmly.

Jiang Yan was actually a little disgusted with the young master's title. He had no choice but to deal with grandma's seniority here, so Jiang Yan could only let it go, and it was just a title.

Okay, don’t call him Young Master, just call him Xiao Yan!

I don’t know what Mrs. Long wants from me, Lei Laoer. If you can use me, just ask.

The three of them sat down, and Lei Laoer asked Grandma Lu just after pouring the tea.

In this way, I came to you today because I have something to ask for your help. My good grandson just bought a courtyard house today. The house in this courtyard house needs to be repaired, so I thought of you.

Thank you, madam, for still thinking about me. If you haven’t mentioned it yet, since you have spoken, madam, Xiao Lei, I will definitely handle it for you.

After hearing what Grandma Lu said, the man named Lei Laoer patted his chest.

I feel relieved because of your words, otherwise I wouldn’t come to you. I feel relieved because you repair it. No one in this industry is better than you.

The old lady's words are enough. Since the lady trusts me, Lao Lei, I will definitely do this job beautifully for you.

At this time, Jiang Yan said, Uncle Lei, why don't you follow me to our house and take a look first? While I'm looking at it, I'll explain my requirements to you, and I'll also trouble you to come up with a drawing.

At that time, we will discuss the outer door based on the drawings. Once it is determined, how much material will you use and how much work will you do? You can calculate it for me. If you think there is no problem, we can start work as soon as possible. What do you think?

Okay, Lao Lei, I'll go with you right now. After saying that, Lao Lei stood up.

He quickly came to a corner of the room, took out a relatively elegant tool box from there, put it on his back, and then followed Jiang Yan and Grandma Lu out.

Jiang Yan was also observing Lei Laoer along the way. It had to be said that Lei Laoer's physical fitness was quite good.

Looking at the deep-stretched tool box, it’s not hard to imagine that this tool box is actually very heavy. I can still talk and laugh with my grandma while carrying such a heavy thing.

After entering the courtyard, Lei Laoer showed the qualities that a craftsman should have.

After walking around the house a few times, I opened my tool box, took out the tools inside, and started measuring.

While measuring, sketch on a piece of paper.

Ten minutes later, an indoor and outdoor sketch appeared in front of Jiang Yan's eyes.

Regardless of the sketch, just this neat stroke of Xiao Kai made Jiang Yan feel very different.

Xiaoyan, look, how do you plan to repair this yard? You tell me your thoughts, and I will produce a formal drawing.

Uncle Lei, let's not talk about it here. Let's sit down at my house and talk about it.

Okay, after hearing Jiang Yan's words, Lei Laoer packed up the tools he took out and followed Jiang Yan and the others to Grandma Lu's room.

Jiang Yan poured a cup of tea with a wink.

After taking a sip of tea, Lei Laoer pointed at the sketch and said to Jiang Yan, "Xiao Yan, tell me what you think."

Looking at the sketch, Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "We don't need the kang in the back room. Did you see that I still have a few iron fireplaces here. I want to install such iron fireplaces in the house."

"You also measured it just now. The height of the main house is quite high. Do you think you can make me a small attic on top?"

After hearing Jiang Yan's words, Lei Laoer thought for a while and said, "I measured it just now. The height of the wall of the main house in this yard is almost five and a half meters, and the height of the first floor is three meters. With this height, you can

Living on the first floor does not seem depressing. There is enough height to place wooden boards, and the second floor is almost two meters high.

The purpose of Jiang Yan's small attic was not to live in it, but simply to create a storage space, otherwise the height would be wasted.

After listening to Lei Lao'er's words, Jiang Yan looked at the picture, thought about it, and said to Lei Lao'er: "Where can I open a dormer window for me in the attic? With this dormer window, I can increase the lighting in the attic, but your guarantee

This dormer window cannot leak."

This is no problem. It seemed that he understood what Jiang Yan meant. After saying this, he repeatedly promised that the dormer window would not leak.

Then Jiang Yan pointed to the first floor and said, make me a study room on the right, and make the room on the left a bathroom and bathroom...

Jiang Yan talked a lot, while Lei Laoer listened and revised the sketch.

However, Jiang Yan's many thoughts still made Lei Laoer stunned for a while.

At this time, he also understood that although Jiang Yan looked young, he had his own ideas.

Jiang Yan also asked Lei Laoer to carve out a space in Grandma Lu's current room and use it as a bathroom.

There is nothing in the other roads. The other houses are designed according to this, but a bathroom is being built in the corner of the yard.

He also asked Lei Laoer to let him reopen the door on the wall next to Grandma Lu.

Okay, I understand. Lei Laoer confidently put away the messy sketches he had drawn and said to Jiang Yan. "Go back and I will hurry up and get the design drawings for you. Then we will discuss how to use materials and labor."

Then he said hello to Grandma Lu and walked outside.

Jiang Yan also stood up and walked him to the gate of the courtyard.

Back in the house, Jiang Yan asked Grandma Lu a little puzzled, wasn't the Lei family famous before? How could they live in such a big courtyard in such a miserable state?

Hearing Jiang Yan's question, Grandma Lu spoke up. In fact, Lei Laoer was not a real descendant of the Lei family, but a side branch.

The eighth generation of Lei Xiancai in the Lei Shi family had begun to lose, and the family property was almost sold out. Lei Xiancai failed to leave any heirs. Later, the title of Shi Lei fell to Lei Lao Er.

superior.

Then Jiang Yan asked his second question.

Grandma, I feel like you know this Lei Lao Er.

We knew each other a long time ago. Your grandfather likes to make friends the most. He has countless fair-weather friends in the entire Forty-Nine City, and I know most of them. This Lei Laoer is also one of them.

He has been to our house several times, so he is very familiar with it.

Don't worry, dear grandson, as long as my old lady is here, he will definitely do this job for you beautifully.

Also, you don’t have much money in your hands now! Take this money and use it to repair the yard.

As he spoke, he took out a small bundle from under the table, opened it and saw three small goldfish inside.

Jiang Yan quickly pushed the money to Grandma Lu and said, "Grandma, I'll pay it back here!"

I once acted as a gentleman in Liang Shang and got some ill-gotten wealth. I put all the money in a safe place. When the army entered the city, I handed over the money.

Fortunately, my grandma is not a pedantic person, and she uses money as she wants.

You are really a clever little kid. Grandma Lu smiled and touched Jiang Yan's head.

However, Jiang Yan was still told not to be such a gentleman in the future, and even if he did, he would not be allowed to go to ordinary people's homes.

After hearing Grandma Lu's words, Jiang Yan naturally patted his chest in assurance.
