At Six o’clock in the evening, in the Liang Family’s courtyard.
“Come on, Xiao An, eat more. You look so thin. You must not have eaten well.” Li Hongxia picked up some dishes for An Yan with pity.
Liang Min glanced at her best friend and nodded in agreement: “I have never seen her gain weight. She has become thinner this year. I told you to eat at our house before. It’s troublesome for you to cook alone, but you didn’t listen. Strangely, you can gain weight with your cooking skills.”
“I don’t think it’s troublesome.”
An Yan smiled lightly. She knew that the Liang Family cared about her, but she couldn’t rely on them without bottom.
Even if she gave Aunt Hong some living expenses every month, they would subsidize her from other aspects, so she would still take advantage of it.
“Humph, you are stubborn.”
Liang Min took a bite of rice and glanced at An Yan. Didn’t she know what kind of character her friend was? She just didn’t want to trouble the people around her, for fear of causing trouble and burden to everyone.
An Yan smiled awkwardly and immediately changed the subject.
“Uncle Liang, do you know a stonemason? And a partition maker? I want to renovate my parents’ room.”
Hearing this, Liang Jianwen raised his head and had a serious look on his face: “How do you want to change it? If it’s not very complicated, Liang Shi and I can do it. There’s no need to spend some money.”
An Yan said truthfully: “I want to divide my parents’ room into two with a partition, turn the front into a workshop, and use the space at the back as a storage room. My kitchen is too small, and the things piled up are messy, so I want to make a separate place to make things.”
Although there were only three rooms in their house, each room was quite spacious, especially the room where her parents lived, which was about 20 to 30 square meters and could be divided into two small single rooms.
Liang Jianwen thought for a moment: “Then your change is not troublesome. Just buy all the materials and it will cost a little labor. You don’t need to find other workers. Liang Shi and I can do it for you in 2 days.”
“That’s right, your change is not complicated. Just install the partitions, build a cement wall, and then make some wooden furniture. You can buy the rest by yourself.”
Liang Shi also expressed his opinion. He was in charge of the electrician on the construction site and had a better understanding of decoration. He could do some work.
Li Hongxia also agreed with her family’s idea: “Since the father and son can do it, then Xiao An, you don’t have to spend money to hire someone. The current workers charge a lot for doing a little work. Let’s save as much as we can.”
“Okay, then I’ll trouble Uncle and Brother Shi. Then I’ll transfer 5,000 yuan to you first. You can buy whatever materials you want. I don’t know much about this. If the money is not enough, I’ll transfer more.”
Liang Jianwen was so scared that he waved his hands quickly: “That’s enough! The changes to your room are not big, and you don’t need any materials. We can do carpentry and tile platforms directly.”
“Okay, just tell me if you need anything.”
An Yan didn’t argue with them. Even if she didn’t know much about this industry, she knew that people in their industry made money by doing some physical work.
It’s the same to hire others, so it’s better to let the Liang Family father and son take over. At least they will work more seriously and carefully. Of course, she won’t let them work for nothing. She can just calculate their labor costs when the time comes.
As for now, there was no need to mention it. Even if she mentions it, she guesses the father and son will not accept it.
This meal not only celebrated the opening of An Yan’s workshop but also solved the problem of renovating her courtyard.
