Chapter 311 Buying a courtyard house

Li Shengli looked at Yan Bugui's excited expression and lowered his head in deep thought. Logically speaking, judging from the speed at which Yan Bugui inquired about the information, he should not have found the courtyard house so quickly. He just said he found it yesterday, and he found it today. Li Shengli touched the stubble on his chin and decided to be more careful.

In the evening, Li Shengli and his family went to bed early. The next day, the two did not go to the restaurant but left all the matters to the people below. Today, Li Shengli planned to take his wife and follow Director Wang to see the courtyard house that Director Wang mentioned.

The two rode their bicycles to the street office, where Director Wang was already waiting. When she saw them coming, she waved and motioned for them to follow her.

Director Wang led the way in front, while Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun followed behind him. As they walked, Director Wang introduced the history of the courtyard house they were going to visit.

This courtyard house used to be a house for a wealthy family to keep mistresses. The house has two entrances and is about 700 to 800 square meters in size, which is considered relatively large among two-entry courtyards. The current owner of the house is surnamed Qian. The family no longer lives here due to job changes, so they plan to sell this courtyard house and buy a new house where they work.

Li Shengli followed behind Director Wang and listened carefully to his introduction of the courtyard house, occasionally interrupting to ask a few questions.

Soon the three of them arrived at the gate of the courtyard house that Director Wang mentioned. The owner of the house had been waiting here for a long time. He was a middle-aged man who was probably in his forties or fifties.

"Old Qian, I have brought the person here. Let me introduce him to you. This is Li Shengli. He opened a restaurant and now plans to move to another place." Director Wang pointed at Li Shengli and gestured to Qian Guanghe, the owner of the house.

"This is Qian Guanghe, the owner of this courtyard house." Director Wang then pointed at Qian Guanghe and introduced him to Li Shengli.

Li Shengli nodded to Director Wang first, then walked over and stretched out his right hand: "Hello, I'm Li Shengli."

Qian Guanghe also stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Li Shengli: "I am Qian Guanghe."

Han Qiuyun did not introduce herself. There was really no need. Han Qiuyun just came to look at the house and left other matters to Li Shengli. Neither of them had any intention of continuing the conversation. This was a one-time transaction and with Director Wang here, there was no need to delve into other matters.

Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun first looked around. There was a narrow road at the entrance of the courtyard and a green belt in front of the entrance. Inside the green belt was Shichahai. The lake was bustling at the moment.

Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun were very satisfied with the environment. If nothing unexpected happens, this house will be perfect for their family to live in. When their children grow up, this courtyard house will be just right for the two of them to live in.

Li Shengli raised his eyebrows and winked at Han Qiuyun, asking Han Qiuyun if she was satisfied with this environment.

Han Qiuyun nodded to Li Shengli to show that she was quite satisfied with this place. Seeing this, Li Shengli decided to buy this courtyard house.

"Can we go in and take a look?" Although he had already specified the purchase, Li Shengli still planned to go in and take a look at the layout first, at least to negotiate the price.

"Of course." Qian Guanghe had no objection, he was sincere about selling the house. Qian Guanghe took out the key and unlocked the door. Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun walked in carefully. They had not lived in this house for a long time, so the yard looked a little messy. Li Shengli looked carefully and found that the overall structure of the house was intact and the wood used in the house was good wood. However, Li Shengli did not intend to leave the house like this, and had to renovate it well.

After looking at the house, Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun left the courtyard. Since they had decided to buy it, Li Shengli started discussing the price of the house with Qian Guanghe without hesitation.

The price was not particularly expensive, and Li Shengli was quite satisfied. After looking at Qian Guanghe's land deed, he agreed with Qian Guanghe to go to the street office together to complete the formalities. Then the two of them went to the bank and Shengli transferred the money to Qian Guanghe.

After all the formalities were completed, Li Shengli finally breathed a sigh of relief. This large yard of more than 400 square meters has a construction area of ​​more than 270 square meters. The price is relatively suitable. The newly built commercial housing outside now costs 1,400 square meters.

After getting the title deed certified by the street office, Li Shengli brought Han Qiuyun to what would become his future home and planned to discuss with his wife how to decorate the house.

"Wife, look at these main rooms. Let's use the one in the middle as the living room, one side as our bedroom and the other side as the study." Li Shengli described his idea to Han Qiuyun. At the moment, they could only do a simple decoration. Now there was no sewer in the courtyard, so there was no way to install a toilet in the room, which was quite inconvenient.

This courtyard house is for Lee Seung-ri's transitional use. When the real estate project is launched, Lee Seung-ri plans to buy a bigger villa so that his whole family can live together. He plans to return to this courtyard house only when his children are married and they are old.

Next are the east and west wing rooms. This house is easy to manage and serves as the bedrooms for the three children. The front room is the dining room, kitchen and warehouse.

After listening to Li Shengli's description, Han Qiuyun's eyes flashed with longing. To be honest, Han Qiuyun had never thought that one day she would be able to live in a detached courtyard house.

"Shengli, there are only a few of us living in such a big yard. Wouldn't it be a bit..." Han Qiuyun always felt something was weird. Are there too few people?

"It's okay. If you have nothing to do, you can go out and chat with others." Li Shengli was not worried about these things. He was just a little worried that it would be too noisy here. This courtyard was too close to Shichahai, and there were a lot of people playing in Shichahai every day.

Han Qiuyun nodded and continued to look at houses with Li Shengli.

After deciding on how to decorate the house, Li Shengli asked Director Wang to contact a decoration team with a good reputation that would not use inferior products. He told them his requirements. The first issue was the floor. Generally, the floors of courtyard houses are made of blue bricks.

Li Shengli also found the original floor a bit unsightly, so he decided to replace it all with marble.

Others include doors, windows and walls. This courtyard house is a brick-wood mixed structure. Li Shengli plans to replace the front with a brick structure. The current decoration conditions are not so good, and Li Shengli has no plans to install floor heating now. It is very troublesome to install floor heating without natural gas and central heating. The roof also needs to be waterproofed again. These tiles are just for decoration.

In short, Lee Seung-ri plans to decorate all of this in accordance with the simple style of later generations. He will repair or replace other places as needed. For example, Lee Seung-ri plans to plant some green plants in the yard, and plans to completely transform his new home into a hermit style.
