Seaside Inn

Chapter 9

The night is hazy, and the sea water rolls with little blue waves and slaps on the beach, covering the shore with a layer of fluorescence like blue tears, like a fairyland, so beautiful.

"What a nice view……"

Jiang Ran leaned against the wall and looked at the waves with a slight smile. He grew up watching the blue tears. He was beautiful, and he was used to seeing them, and he didn't stare in amazement like them.

"Click"

Jiang Ran was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look.

The yellow-haired photographer put down the camera and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Brother Jiang... I'll just take pictures."

Jiang Ran didn't care too much, this boy took pictures everywhere all day long, he took pictures of what he ate and what he used, even the old lady Jiang mended clothes and hooked fishing nets.Contrast, he's used to it.

The photographer was relieved to see that Jiang Ran didn't care. He looked down at the photo. Under the black sky, there was a fluorescent sea in the distance. Nearby, a man in a simple white T-shirt was leaning against the wall, with one hand on the curved wall. on the knee.The photographer fine-tuned the light of the camera, and the profile of the man became clear.

Under the slender and thick eyelashes are smiling and gentle eyes. He looks at the sea, as if man and nature echo each other, which really fits his theme of this holiday!

The photographer secretly patted his chest. It would be a pity to delete such a photo.

"Blue tears are coming, let's go!"

A group of half-grown children rushed over, breaking the tranquility of the son. They still brought buckets and wanted to fish them.

In order to get a closer look at Lan Tear, the college students also followed the children, and carefully climbed down the rubble pile hand in hand. Jiang Ran gave them a big flashlight from the house, and he stopped following.

The time for the blue tears was very short, and the light gradually receded in about half an hour, and several people came back to sleep unsatisfied.

After seeing the blue tears, they were ready to go back, and they were scheduled to leave in the afternoon, so that they would not have to get up early, and they could have an extra lunch, so they would not be so rushed.

At the dinner table, Jiang Ran started a conversation.

"What do you think of my house?"

Without even thinking about it, He Tiantian said, "It's comfortable, clean, and my grandparents are good people, and Brother Jiang is a handsome guy!"

One of the girls also said, "Don't forget, there is still food. I forgot that I was losing weight because of the delicious food. It is estimated that I will gain two catties when I go back."

"And watching Blue Tears is really awesome!"

Jiang Ran didn't know if they were telling the truth or against their will, so she continued to ask shamelessly, "That's right, I want to do something small recently, I want to make my home into a homestay, so I want to interview you, you are all people who travel all over the place , How likely do you think I am to be a homestay? Just tell me if there are any good or bad things, I won’t be angry.”

When He Tiantian heard it, she clapped her hands, "It's suitable, it's so suitable. Originally, I lived in a homestay for the past two days. It's comfortable, clean and has handsome food and beautiful scenery. It's so suitable!"

"Well, I also think Brother Jiang is a good homestay, but there are no entertainment facilities and no style."

"Style? Yes, gourmet style hahaha..."

Jiang Ran listened carefully to what they said, good and bad. He followed Song Xing to all over the country, all over the world, but they were all in a hurry. Few people could really calm down and enjoy the scenery, not as good as this group of college students!

"Then I believe that you will really run a homestay for the first time. You all have the ability to take pictures and draw pictures. Remember to promote it to me, for the sake of kimchi."

"it is good!"

Jiang Ran took a notebook and wrote down their addresses, and waited for them to express it later. After all, it is not appropriate for a large group of young people to run around with kimchi jars.

They came home with their works, full of kimchi.Before leaving, he said that he would come again when Jiang Ran's homestay was ready.

With what this group of college students said, it undoubtedly gave Jiang Ran a reassurance. He felt more and more feasible, and finally decided to talk to the old man Jiang.

Jiang old man pondered for a while and said, "You young people think that we old people don't understand, so you can do whatever you want! Anyway, the house is ours, and people come to borrow a bed and multiple bowls."

"Thank you grandpa."

The matter of the homestay has been settled for the time being.

Based on what He Tiantian and his classmates said, Jiang Ran figured it out. The good thing about their house is that the place is big, facing the ocean, and the food is good. Well...does it count if they are handsome?

There are also areas that need improvement, such as the style of the home is too ordinary, without characteristics, and lacks entertainment facilities.

Jiang Ran checked a lot of information on the Internet, and finally came up with a few plans.

When I first bought furniture, the picture was simple and elegant. If I really want to say what style, the furniture is Korean rural style. The color is very simple and beautiful. This kind of furniture is also very versatile. Jiang Ran bought light gray, light blue, light Pink and beige, I repainted the other seven rooms except for me and my grandpa and grandma, not all of them, one or two walls are enough, then I hung Nordic-style paintings and replaced them with Nordic-style tables , there are also green plants such as monstera, bird of paradise, tiger piranha, etc., and a string of shell wind chimes that echo the ocean are hung.

This is not the so-called 'Nordic' characteristics.

The reason why Jiang Ran chose the Nordic style is because this style is most suitable for the current room renovation, simple and elegant.

The living room made Jiang Ran worry. The living room is not a guest room. Grandpa and grandma often spend time in the living room, so they have to listen to their opinions on the renovation.

Jiang Ran was worried for two days, and made plans one after another, either being rejected by old man Jiang or Mrs. Jiang was dissatisfied.

In the end, they took a step back from each other and came up with a new plan after compromise.

Mrs. Jiang strongly requested that the TV must be kept, and the sofa can be replaced. The current one can be moved to their room.

The old man Jiang requested that his photo wall not be removed!Every photo above and every award is his capital to show off and remember.

Jiang Ran built a fireplace and TV wall with bricks on the right wall, replaced it with a beige sofa made of linen, and bought an extra set of gray sofa covers, which can be changed and washed very clean.

The tea table is also a Nordic style marble tea table, and there is also a small storage table, which can put Mrs. Jiang's knitting needles and balls of wool.

The TV sofa was moved to one side and the other side was empty. Jiang Ran spent a lot of money to buy a large solid wood tea table, made of old pine wood, more than two meters long, with four chairs and a whole row of benches. It can seat eight people, and even more can be seated in a crowded place. A wine cabinet is customized on the entire wall behind it, which is divided into three parts. The left and right sides are wine and tea, and the middle is filled with books.

This area is free to define, you want to make tea, drink, read a book, even if you want to eat here, it's up to you.

The photo wall of old man Jiang is on the empty wall next to the wine cabinet. Jiang Ran has ordered a lot of glass photo frames to put the photos of old man Jiang's half-life memories and the certificates of awards of his proud daughter and grandson into them and hang them up, so that people will not be afraid If it is damaged by touching it casually, or it is too long in the air, it will cause oxidation and fading.

Mrs. Jiang was very satisfied with her TV area, and old man Jiang was also very satisfied with his photo wall. Jiang Ran was relieved, the most difficult part was done.

Next is the yard.

Mrs. Jiang grows vegetables and raises chickens in the backyard, so there is no need to change them.There is only one pomelo tree in the front yard, a laundry pool, a well, and flowers and plants in the corner. It is very empty and easy to handle.

Jiang Ran moved Mrs. Jiang's flowers and plants first, and built a flower bed in a corner of the wall. The flowers still have to bloom in clusters to look good. Jiang Ran also bought sunflower seedlings. In the eyes of people in the past, these flowers are weeds, and they can be thrown anywhere. Can live, flowers bloom continuously throughout the year, and the flower bed can maintain a blooming appearance for a long time.

Under the grapefruit tree, Jiang Ran paved a layer of gravel, and installed a swing for two people. Swinging under the tree, isn’t there an idol drama that Mrs. Jiang always loves to watch?

In addition, Jiang Ran smashed the concrete floor by the wall of the kitchen and covered it with a layer of gravel and pebbles. This place has a good orientation and can be used for drying dried fish and razor clams. When guests come, they can also set up barbecue grills.

Jiang Ran ordered terracotta bricks and filled the middle space. The terracotta bricks are simple in color and resistant to wind and rain. They are very suitable for laying in the yard. Put two monstera and two small tables. You can enjoy the sea breeze in the yard, bask in the sun, and drink afternoon Tea, comfortable and comfortable.

Besides, outside the house, Jiang Ran nailed two benches on the wall outside the door. You can sit on the benches and look at the distant sea. In this way, it is much more convenient to go up and down without climbing, and there are handrails, so that children and the elderly can relax.

Old man Jiang said this when he came back, and it took him so long to do it because he was lazy.

After nearly a month of tossing inside and out, the neighbors knew that Jiang Ran was going to run a homestay. After Jiang Ran finished everything, Mrs. Jiang's mahjong enthusiasts came to play mahjong and talked non-stop.

"Oh, not bad! The whole yard is very beautiful, what should I do to dry the clothes?"

"I heard that your family is going to build a homestay, is it true?"

"Hey, your flowers look much better than before."

Mrs. Jiang proudly took them to the living room to have a look.

In the living room, there was another burst of praise.

"Oh, this video wall is made just like the show on TV!"

"This table is too big, there are only three of you in your family, you have to shout when you sit here and eat!"

"Hey, I still don't want to lose my brother's photo! Don't mention it, it looks good hanging like this."

Mrs. Jiang raised her neck to reveal her big gold chain, humming and smiling triumphantly, "My family, Aran, has any vision, and she looks good no matter what she does!"

"B&B is for young people. He can do whatever he likes. It's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks when someone comes. I just like this sofa. Come and sit on it. It's very soft!"

Jiang Ran sent the remodeled photos to He Tiantian, and He Tiantian sent several pictures with thumbs up to say that they were very good. Jiang Ran exchanged kimchi for her to help promote it.Of course, self-promotion is also indispensable.

If no one came a few days after the homestay was settled, Jiang Ran was not in a hurry. He took Jiang Zhiming to City G, where he had agreed to find a job for him, and now he has a clue.

City G is not far away, and it takes an hour and a half to drive on the highway from the island. Jiang Ran took the nervous Jiang Zhiming to an intermediary company.

In the car, Jiang Ran told Jiang Zhiming about the job of an intermediary, selling rentals, buying and selling houses, and the basic salary is not much more than 3000, but as long as a house is sold, there will be a commission. He runs hard and is popular, tens of thousands a month. not a problem.

Zhao Yiyan, the manager of the intermediary company, is an acquaintance of Jiang Ran. In the past, Song Xing often changed houses to avoid the paparazzi, exaggeratingly, he moved twice a month, and Jiang Ran also entrusted him to buy the house.

It’s been a long time since we haven’t seen friends, so we can’t do without some pleasantries. Regarding Jiang Zhiming, Zhao Yiyan accepted it after chatting a few words. Sometimes the intermediary industry does not need a particularly high education, as long as you are diligent, you can fully make up for the lack of education. In addition, Jiang Zhiming Although Zhiming is a little nervous, he speaks clearly, is tall, and has a good image. It's okay to try it for three months first.

Entrusting people to do business is to treat guests. Jiang Ran reserved a place in the restaurant and invited Zhao Yiyan to dinner at noon. After the meal, Zhao Yiyan hurried away. He is not idle.

Jiang Ran took Jiang Zhiming to the house he bought in the city. The house he bought was not big, about [-] square meters, three bedrooms and two bathrooms just needed.

Jiang Zhiming looked around and nodded, "It's still your ability to buy a house as soon as you graduate. You said that your boss's assistant job is so good, why did you resign?"

"I have no skills, I have a little luck. At that time, the housing price in this place was not high. I bought it cheaply. Who knew that the seniors would start building next to the end of the year, and my house would rise accordingly." Jiang Ran said with a smile, without mentioning work. There is indeed an element of luck in this house, but he earned the down payment for the house.

His parents didn’t live long enough. It’s not easy for his grandpa and grandma to pull him up because of his age. After the college entrance examination, he went to work as a tutor. And so on, plus the scholarship, he saves a lot on weekdays, and the salary of the assistant is not low, so he worked for half a year and saved enough for the down payment.

Jiang Ran didn't tell the two elders in his family about buying a house. He was afraid that they would take out his old man to help him buy a house. The two elders had worked hard all their lives, and Jiang Ran didn't dare to take the money they saved for fear of burning his hands.

So Jiang Ran didn't say until he returned home during the Chinese New Year after buying the house that the two old men would play mixed doubles against him.
