"Are these two courtyards?"

Lu Dashan immediately noticed that the area was wrong.

This is clearly a case of two courtyards being connected together.

"That's right, this is quite a pleasant surprise. These two courtyards belong to the two brothers; they bought them together."

Zhang Shuying's attention was entirely on the beautiful kitchen; she was happily looking around when she asked:

"But...is this newly built?"

"Yes, this kitchen is newly built; nothing else has been demolished, just renovated."

"This must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Zhang Shuying stood in the entryway, utterly amazed.

Looking through the transparent glass sliding door of the kitchen, you can see a complete set of kitchen utensils and appliances.

They are all shiny and brand new, with a great sense of quality.

It's beautiful from every angle.

This is completely different from the old, dilapidated bungalow I had imagined outside the door.

"It's alright. You forgot about Mom? I have money."

Lu Zhaoyang laughed and said, "Let's not stand outside anymore, let's go inside and take a look."

This was naturally something that Lu Dashan and his wife were happy to do.

So Lu Zhaoyang stepped aside and led the way, taking his parents to look at each room one by one.

Zhang Shuying excitedly opened the glass door to the kitchen first.

Looking at the brand-new, spotless kitchen, she felt like she couldn't take it all in.

She bent down and looked closely at the gleaming, clean kitchenware, which looked even more impressive than from the outside.

She couldn't bear to touch it.

At that moment, she completely forgot the regret that she had just been feeling about not owning a building.

Which of their buildings has such a beautiful and impressive kitchen?

Zhang Shuying dared to say without lying that this place was bigger and more beautiful than any of the kitchens she had ever seen in any of her relatives' homes.

These brand-new appliances, gleaming with a luster, silently exude elegance.

"This kitchen is so big and beautiful!"

Zhang Shuying murmured to herself, her eyes filled with joy and amazement.

"Isn't it beautiful, Mom?"

Seeing his mother's delight, Lu Zhaoyang couldn't hide his pride either. He didn't need to conceal his emotions in front of his mother, and proudly showed off, "Look at this range hood, this oven, this refrigerator, these are all the latest models, oh, they all have artificial intelligence, you can talk to them."

As he spoke, Lu Zhaoyang enthusiastically began to demonstrate.

He hadn't even had time to tinker with it himself, but with his parents around, he was still quite interested in giving it a try.

"Could you check what food is left in the refrigerator?"

The kitchen was quiet for a few seconds. Then, under the expectant gazes of the three, a crisp electronic voice announced: "Sorry, there is currently no food in the refrigerator, only eight bottles of water."

Lu Zhaoyang coughed lightly and said, "Then turn on the air conditioner for me."

"Okay, what temperature should I set the air conditioner to?"

"Twenty-five degrees."

"Okay, the air conditioner is on, and the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius."

"Please turn the range hood back on for me."

"Okay, the range hood is on."

The refrigerator completed a series of tasks in sequence according to Lu Zhaoyang's instructions.

These things, which may no longer be considered novel by young people, are clearly still quite intimidating to their parents.

"Wow, this is so high-class!"

Zhang Shuying stared in disbelief, her voice dropping to a whisper as if afraid the AI ​​would overhear her. "This whole setup must have cost a fortune, right?"

Lu Zhaoyang smiled and reassured her, "Mom, this is a bit more expensive than the regular ones, but it's not as scary as you think. These things have become quite fashionable in the last two years. They look impressive, but they're more convenient to use."

"Yes."

Zhang Shuying stroked the things in the kitchen, even the tables and chairs, and became more and more pleased with them. "Oh my, these are all new, they look so nice."

"Mom, wait until you try it out. If you like it, we'll get a set for our family back home too," Lu Zhaoyang said with a smile.

"No, no need."

Zhang Shuying's expression changed slightly, and she waved her hands repeatedly to refuse, saying, "You can buy it here, but what's the use of such nice things at home? Besides, I'm not used to using them."

"You'll get used to it after trying it a few more times."

Lu Zhaoyang smiled and continued to lead his parents to see the other rooms.

He didn't go for a luxurious style in the entire house renovation.

In his eyes, all of those things were too cold and impersonal.

Therefore, most of the solid wood furniture in the house is in a warm and inviting natural wood color.

Although Lu Zhaoyang was not short of money, he did not spend too much money on fancy but impractical things, including the soft furnishings in his bedroom.

Instead, it's a minimalist style with minimal white space.

In the bedroom, besides the bed, bedside table, and the essential wardrobe, there is a small table and chairs where you can sit and relax.

Needless to say, the price of the mattress is considerable, and the price of the bed itself is also quite high.

However, these things are hard to tell without being told.

We looked at each room one by one.

Zhang Shuying finally asked the most crucial question: "It must have cost a lot of money to clean this up like this, right?"

"It's not much money, Mom. These two courtyards cost about the same as a house. But a house doesn't have such a big courtyard, so you can't live this comfortably!" Lu Zhaoyang said with a smile.

"But……"

Zhang Shuying actually agreed with her son's statement.

She always felt stuffy and uncomfortable whenever she went to her relatives' apartment building.

It's still more comfortable and reassuring to live in my own yard.

But the house is for my son's marriage, so we can't just think about his own comfort; we also need to consider whether the girl will like it.

But then she thought again, she had just said she wouldn't pressure her son about marriage, and now she was nagging him about housing.

Besides, now that I've already bought it, it's not really of any use anymore.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Shuying looked at her husband. Even if he was usually a man of few words, he couldn't possibly remain completely silent in the house their son had just bought!

"fine."

Lu Dashan genuinely found the area pleasing to the eye, but seeing his wife's expression, he turned and asked, "With such a large area, we should get a lot of compensation when it's demolished, right?"

Before Lu Zhaoyang could speak, Zhang Shuying's eyes lit up, and she looked straight at her son.

Lu Zhaoyang laughed and said, "Dad, if this place is really going to be demolished, we'll get the same compensation as them, mostly calculated by area. But we shouldn't think about it for the next year or two. There shouldn't be any plans for it in the short term; the relevant departments are even investing money to improve the living conditions of the residents here."

"It's better not to tear it down. It's so clean and beautiful here, it would be a shame to tear it down," Zhang Shuying said.

Lu Zhaoyang wasn't too surprised by his mother's rapid change in attitude.

After all, his house is indeed in very good condition.

Especially for the two who have always lived in the countryside, it was simply irresistible.

He had this confidence all along; it was a piece of cake for him.
