Chapter 833 Major Events in Life

A few days later, the days Feng Honghong asked someone to count in his hometown also came out.

Combined with the birthday horoscopes of his son and An Hongdou, the other party said that July and August are more suitable months for them.

Then Chen Nian talked to Hongdou again, and An Hongdou made a few phone calls with her parents when she turned around, and finally decided on the date.

Engaged on the fifth day of July and married on the nineteenth day of July.

Then An Hongdou also made a list of all the things that the man should prepare in their customs and sent it to Chen Nian.

"Okay, let's get ready later."

Chen Nian also seemed a little excited, after all, he was about to face a major event in his life.

So in the next period of time, besides being busy with the store's affairs every day, Chen Nian also found Han Dongqing again.

Originally, Han Dongqing just opened a design studio, but as the number of orders increased, he recruited a lot of people, and then he simply established a decoration company directly.

Although it is still in its infancy, because their design is very good, and the price is also suitable, and there is no quality problem after the decoration is completed, so they introduce one by one, and their business is getting better and better.

When Han Dongqing learned that Chen Nian was going to design the wedding room, he immediately drove to the Honghong Hotel in person.

"Boss Chen, congratulations! I haven't seen you for half a year. I didn't expect you to get married soon."

"Haha, thank you, I asked Mr. Han to come here this time because I want you to help me design again."

"No problem. Boss Chen has a request. I will definitely try my best to meet it, and I will only charge you a cost price. After all, our relationship is here, don't you think so?"

"haha, yes."

"Then Boss Chen, if you have any requirements, you can ask them first. I will write them down here first, and then I will take someone to measure the room when you are free."

"If there is time, we have it now, and we have to wait a few more hours for business."

"Then if that's the case, I'll ask someone to bring over the things for measuring the room first, and then we'll go to the house and have a look at it together?"

"Row."

"Then Boss Chen, you can tell me how you want to pretend."

Chen Nian nodded: "Actually, I don't have too many requirements here. At present, I plan to do it in our old house first, and the construction period is not suitable for too long, because it is already May now, and we probably wait until It will be used in September, after all, the house has to be aired after the decoration is completed."

"Well, first of all, the construction period should be faster, right?"

"Yes, it's best to finish all the work before the end of July."

"That's no problem. When the time comes, I'll go over there to watch and arrange the decoration time."

"Next, in terms of style, I talked with Hongdou and my mother, and I plan to make it a log style, with a lighter color, so that the home looks brighter."

"No problem, this style is still very popular now, especially many young people like to make it like this in their homes, mainly because they are comfortable to live in." Han Dongqing said while recording in his notebook.

In this way, they chatted here for a while, and after Han Dongqing's company sent over the equipment for the measuring room, Chen Nian told the apprentices to let them prepare the dishes first.

He himself took Han Dongqing home with his mother.

After arriving home, Han Dongqing measured the room over there, chatting and asking: "It is indeed an old-fashioned community, but the layout of your place is still very good, and it is also a side household on the sunny side, with a large space and transparent north and south."

"That's right, when we bought this house, it cost tens of thousands." Feng Honghong said.

"Auntie, then you've made money. Why can't this house be sold for 150 million now?"

"The money at that time was different from what it is now." Feng Honghong said with a smile, "At that time, my father-in-law was teaching in the county, and his monthly salary was only 500 yuan."

"That's true." While talking, Han Dongqing kept moving her hands. After measuring the room, she used an instrument to detect the steel bars in the wall and marked the position of the load-bearing wall.

Because many people will ask to smash a part of the wall when renovating and redecorating the old house. They either dig a door out of it, or make it semi-open, or just smash it all, so that the two homes become a home.

But at this time, they had to see clearly which wall was the load-bearing wall. If they accidentally smashed the load-bearing wall, the whole building might suffer.

"By the way, Boss Chen, Auntie, now the house is a living room, a master bedroom and two second bedrooms. The two second bedrooms are about the same size, one faces south and the other faces north, and the master bedroom also faces south. , which room will be used for the wedding?"

"Master bedroom, the two of them will live in the master bedroom." Feng Honghong said.

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but glanced at his mother: "It's okay, Mom, we just need to live in the second bedroom, and the second bedroom is not too small."

"Then how can we do that, the daughter-in-law is married to our house, let her live in the second bedroom? It's okay, anyway, Mom lives alone, the space in the second bedroom is smaller, but it's more comfortable to live in, when the time comes, this room will be more comfortable. Leave it to the two of you, although you plan to buy a house outside, you will always come back."

"It's really unnecessary, we can just live in the second bedroom." Chen Nian said.

"It's okay, the two of you will live in the master bedroom. This matter is settled, so there is no need to talk about it." Feng Honghong showed a rare strength.

"Okay, then let's make the master bedroom a wedding room for the time being." Han Dongqing had already finished all the work of measuring the room at this time, "Then when the time comes, do we want to fully decorate or partially decorate?"

"The whole decoration is to remove all the walls and floors, including the lines and pipes, because more than 20 years have passed, and the lines inside will definitely be aging. There are still some pipelines more than 20 years ago. The quality was good at that time, but it may not be enough now.

After all, although there were electrical appliances in the house at that time, they certainly weren’t that many, and the power wasn’t that big. If it was a partial renovation, it would be to scrape the walls or paste a layer of wallpaper. If you like the ceiling, you can hang it. , If you don't like it, stick a plaster line around it.

The rest are the cabinets that must be rebuilt. Although these cabinets are well preserved, they are a bit old after all, and they will not match the overall style of the house when they are installed, but you can choose to leave them to me. Designed as a cabinet that goes directly to the ceiling, or it can be bought separately. "

Regarding this point, Chen Nian, his mother, and Hongdou have already discussed it, and they plan to directly make it into a cabinet that cannot be moved.

Firstly, the internal space is large, and secondly, there is no need to leave a gap on the top to collect dust.

"I'll leave this to you guys, but we plan to buy the bed ourselves."

Han Dongqing wrote down these requirements on paper again: "That is, our side is responsible for making the cabinets. There are three wardrobes in the three bedrooms. The wardrobe in the master bedroom can be made larger, and the second bedroom can be made smaller.

Is there a wine cabinet in the living room?

At that time, you can put some things, and it will not take up too much space if you stick to the wall. "

"Okay, but can it be made into that kind of partition? That is to separate the living room from the dining room." Feng Honghong said.

"It can be done, but I don't recommend it, because it will inevitably block part of the light. Although there are windows and balconies on the living room side, it looks brighter, but the light on the dining room side is not so good."

"Forget it, let's make a cabinet against the wall." Feng Honghong compromised, "I also watched a lot of decoration videos on the Internet before, they did a good job, and I also want to make my home better. After all, after this renovation, it will probably not be moved again for decades.”

Han Dongqing smiled: "Auntie, sometimes the situation on the Internet is not the same as in reality. Some people have more ideas and what they make is suitable, but some decoration videos are pure nonsense because they use 3D effects Deliberately adjusting the proportions, it seems that there is no major problem, but in fact, there are many problems after the decoration.”

After he finished speaking, he continued to add: "Just now I saw that the space in the kitchen is not that big. It is better to put the refrigerator in the living room, and the space can be utilized. This area is made into a cabinet, and then Leave a space here for the freezer, and put the freezer right in."

Seeing this, Chen Nian hesitated and said, "Then what if the size of the refrigerator is not suitable..."

"It doesn't matter, you can look at it first, and I will modify the size of the design drawing after you are satisfied. Usually, sellers of electrical appliances can store it for customers for a period of time, and just notify them when to use it."

"Alright." Chen Nian feels that it is better to listen to professionals in this regard, all he has to do is to say what style he wants, "By the way, there is one more thing that can be done in the bedroom Design two workspaces, I need a desk here, but she may often work on the computer at that time.

And there is also a place to put musical instruments. Although we may buy a new house by then, it is estimated that we will live here for a while. "

"No problem, the master bedroom has a lot of space, you can do it like this."

Afterwards, they talked about other rooms, including the design intentions of the bathroom and kitchen, etc., and Han Dongqing was ready to go back.

"Boss Chen, I'll go back and design it first. After the design is finished, I'll send you the drawings, or I'll come back and show you the drawings when the time comes. If there's anything that feels inappropriate or unsatisfactory, I'll start again."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Han for your hard work."

"No hard work, no hard work, we are all friends, I will definitely do my best to make it better for you."

"Of course, I know the strength of Boss Han's side. After finishing this house this time, I will still look for you when it's time to install a new house."

"Okay, thank you Boss Chen for your support."

After speaking, they left home, and Han Dongqing went back to prepare to work overtime for Chen Nian's design drawings.

……

Three nights later, Han Dongqing sent the first draft drawings to Chen Nian.

In fact, when receiving jobs, they would not directly send drawings to customers. After all, in their line of work, they often encounter people who have taken the drawings and then have no news.

Send WeChat to block, call directly but not answer.

Obviously, I took this drawing and went to someone to decorate it myself.

But out of his trust in Chen Nian and the cooperation between everyone before, Han Dongqing didn't think too much about it.

After looking at the blueprint, Chen Nian first sent a copy to An Hongdou, and then asked his mother to look at it together, and found some problems in it.

The next day, Han Dongqing came directly with the computer again, first explained his design philosophy to Chen Nian, and then wrote down all these opinions raised by Chen Nian, planning to go back and make changes.

This revision went much smoother. After the revision, I looked at it in the old age, and there was no big problem.

"Okay, Boss Chen, then I will start preparing materials and contacting workers according to this first, but you still have to move all the things in the house, because when the time comes for decoration, those old floor tiles on the ground will have to be knocked down." If it falls, the wall will have to be scraped again, and there will definitely be no way to live in it.”

"I've already contacted them. It just so happens that there is often no one living downstairs, and we used to have a good relationship. We also talked to their family that day. We will live there for the first few months during the renovation. After three days, we can live here. Get out."

"That's convenient."

"Yeah, it's really more convenient to be closer."

"Boss Chen, our construction period is set like this for the time being. After three days, I will formally bring the workers over there, first dismantle the things, remove all the old things, and then go to the pipeline. Don't worry, I will give you everything when the time comes." Use the best, now we have a kind of fireproof material with a high safety factor, including the best thread for you.”

"Of course I can rest assured that Mr. Han is doing things."

So after going back that night, Chen Nian, his mother and cousin packed up the things at home, and then ran a few times in the next two days, bringing his apprentices to clean up all the things needed at home. Moved downstairs for a few months.

Three days later, Han Dongqing brought someone over to start work on time.

He directly removed all the walls, floors, including doors and those old cabinets in the house, and then began to work intensively.

Out of the emphasis on old age, Han Dongqing basically comes here twice a day. He comes here in the morning to tell the workers how to do today's work, and then stays here for more than an hour before going back.

Come back when you are about to get off work in the afternoon to see if there is anything wrong with what the workers have done.

Looking at the house being demolished, and then looking at the ground and walls covered with pipes, Chen Nian also began to look forward to what the house would look like after it was installed.

It's just that Chen Nian was not idle during the decoration process. Because the wedding banquet for Xue Yan's sister was approved by many people, basically someone asked Chen Nian to cook every once in a while.

Some specs are high and some specs are slightly lower.

But basically every time I go out, I can earn at least 5 yuan, and even more than 30 to [-] yuan.

After one month, plus the appearance fees and bonuses from participating in the King of Kitchen competition and the operating profit of the store, Chen Nian's deposit has reached 60 again.

It's just that Chen Nian and the other apprentices in the store were exhausted after going on like this.

But even if they are tired, they are still full of motivation, because Chen Nian makes money, and he will give it to them every time.

Originally, they only got about 2 yuan a month including bonuses and overtime pay, but after a whole busy May, after June, when Chen Nian paid them wages, even the smallest Yu Xiaohua got more than [-] yuan, and Xie Yu even got [-] yuan directly.
