Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 294 Bottom Line (4)

After returning home, Ji Xiao took a comfortable hot bath and changed into clean clothes. Then, she had a simple lunch, picked up a big watermelon, rode her cute electric bike, and drove to the village committee.

When Ji Xiao arrived at the village committee, it was exactly 2:30 in the afternoon, less than five minutes later, she walked straight into the village committee office and found the village party secretary.

Ji Xiao asked politely: "Uncle Yan, I plan to tear down my house and rebuild it. What procedures do I need to go through?"

The village party secretary warmly invited Ji Xiao to sit down, then poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, saying slowly: "Xiaoxiao, you are here! Sit down.

Your parents had already completed all the relevant formalities. They had planned to start the construction after you came back. Alas, it's a pity...

Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Wait a minute, I’ll get you the approval document.”

Ji Xiao smiled slightly and said softly, "Well. Uncle Yan, don't worry, I'm much better now. I believe that as long as I work hard to live every day and make myself happy, my parents in heaven will be happy and relieved when they see me."

The village party secretary nodded repeatedly to show his agreement. He patted Ji Xiao on the shoulder and consoled her, "Yes, yes, you are right! Xiaoxiao, you look much more energetic today than before. As a young person, you should learn to be more open-minded and look forward. What's more, you still have your grandmother!"

Ji Xiao didn't want to talk about these things too much. Although living in the village, this kind of situation is unavoidable, but she still chose to change the subject and said, "Well, I know. But, uncle, do you know which construction team is better?"

"Your brother Chi! He formed a construction team two years ago. He happens to be at home these days. I'll call him now and ask you two to come over so you can have a chat." As the village party secretary spoke, he picked up his phone and dialed Yan Chi's number.

"Okay." Ji Xiao nodded, and then waited quietly in the office.

About two minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and then a tall figure appeared at the door. The man had a neat crew cut, wore a military green short-sleeved shirt, and a pair of smoky grey casual trousers. He was about 1.8 meters tall and looked very strong.

After Yan Chi walked in, he went straight to sit opposite Ji Xiao and said with a smile: "Hey, Xiao Xiao, you look much better these past two days."

"Yes, Brother Chi." Ji Xiao greeted with a smile.

"I just heard from my dad that you plan to tear down the house and rebuild it?" Yan Chi asked directly.

"Yeah." Ji Xiao nodded slightly to show affirmation.

"Do you have any specific requirements? And what do you want it to look like?" Yan Chi looked at Ji Xiao and asked seriously.

"Hmm..." Ji Xiao thought for a while, then said, "Use the best materials possible, and have walls all around. As for the house, I want a two-story building in the shape of a figure 7.

It would be best if there is a garage and utility room, and the kitchen can be separated. Grandma is old and has difficulty walking, so her room should be arranged on the first floor.

As for the second floor, it can be built into two suites, plus a study and living room. In addition, I also hope to have two large balconies. Oh, by the way, functional areas such as laundry rooms are more conveniently located on the first floor. I want to plant some flowers, trees, and fish in the yard, and also grow some vegetables for daily consumption. "

As she spoke, Ji Xiao took out a notebook from somewhere, flipped through a few pages, and handed it to Yan Chi, continuing, "These are some of my ideas that I drew. Take a look at them."

Yan Chi took the notebook, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "Okay, I'll write it down. I'll show you the preliminary design tomorrow. So, do you want to buy the building materials yourself, or will I be responsible for it?"

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Chi. I'll transfer the money to you when the time comes, and you can help with the purchase. I believe in your character.

Also, I hope there will be more sockets, and the distribution of the sockets should be reasonable, and the lighting must be good, so that it will be comfortable to live in. And grandma's room must be suitable for the elderly to live in. "Ji Xiao said with a smile.

"No problem. I'll send you the house design and decoration design together when they are ready tomorrow." Yan Chi said with a smile.

"Okay. Here are two watermelons. Brother Chi, you can take them home and eat them later." Ji Xiao enthusiastically handed over two big round watermelons.

"Thank you, Xiaoxiao." Yan Chi smiled happily and took the watermelon.

The main reason is that the watermelons from Ji Xiao’s family are much sweeter than those sold on the market, and they come in both crispy and juicy varieties. They usually buy a few to take home and eat.

"By the way, Xiaoxiao, do you plan to live in the village or in the city while the house is being built?" Yan Chi suddenly asked curiously.

"Of course it's the village. There are a lot of work waiting for me to do at home." Ji Xiao answered without hesitation.

“That’s right, your parents are gone, and your grandmother is old, so you need to take care of her.

If you encounter any difficulties or need help in the future, feel free to come to me, don't be polite." Yan Chi patted his chest and said firmly.

After hearing these words, Ji Xiao felt a warm current in her heart, and she nodded gratefully: "Yeah, thank you, Brother Chi."

"Then I'll go back first. When I get back, ask your sister-in-law to draw the blueprint as soon as possible." Yan Chi stood up and walked out of the house.

"Okay, Brother Chi, take care." Ji Xiao said with a smile.

Looking at Yan Chi's departing back, Ji Xiao felt warm in her heart. She thought to herself that she must repay the villagers' love for her in the future. After all, the villagers had helped her a lot in the past month.

Moreover, there are no bad people in the village. Everyone is from the same village and there are no conflicts. After all, every family runs a different business.

When Ji Xiao left the village committee, she felt much more relaxed. She rode her electric bike, bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, and felt the comfort of the breeze on her face.

After returning home, Ji Xiao found her grandmother tidying up the vegetable garden in the yard. She quickly put down what she was doing and ran over to help. The two of them chatted while working, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
