"No, no, that's not what I meant. It has nothing to do with you. Even without your marriage, this matter is inevitable."

Kang Shude sighed, "Look, this garden has only been repaired a few years ago. Some places were not taken care of well, and there were damages and leaks. For no other reason, the Ma family in the past

The garden is just like the Grand View Garden in Dream of Red Mansions. To say the least, there must be hundreds of people taking care of everything inside and outside, big and small, to make it passable."

"Now, there are only a few of us living there. Such a big house is really empty, inconvenient and uncomfortable. To put it bluntly, even if you go out to buy groceries, you have to ride a bicycle. To go to the newspaper box outside,

You have to walk at least two stops to get a milk box, a newspaper, or milk. Cleaning is even more of a problem. In fact, let alone cleaning, hauling garbage out is an unbearable physical job."

"To be honest, thanks to your help, these problems were barely solved. Now the gardeners from the Temple of Heaven Park help clean up the garden, and the cleaners from the Temple of Heaven help sweep the yard and transport garbage. I am everyone.

Three or four people are sent over once a week to clean up. Xiao Zhang is even more diligent and always sends people from Tan Gong Restaurant to help with the indoor hygiene of these two small courtyards. Otherwise, if we rely entirely on ourselves, you and I will fight

No one from my aunt can live here anymore."

"Not to mention, the installation of street lights and wiring in our garden has made Ma's Garden the most conspicuous place in the surrounding area. Don't do it, it's too dark at night, but do it.

, you have to spend a small 500 per month on light and electricity bills. And the key is that with these things, once they are opened at night, the garden will look like a Friendship Hotel. It is impossible to hide such a scene, and the people outside will

It’s impossible not to notice?”

"In addition to electricity, there is also water. The water fee of two yuan and eighty cents is not expensive. But summer is here, and I am thinking that when you get married, you have to release water to raise fish this time, so that the three ponds in the garden can become a landscape.

If you don’t use it at this time, when should you use it? Well, after filling the water, the water meter ran more than 2,000 tons. Including the cost of planting lotus and putting out fish fry, it’s a small 4,000. This guy in Gu Si’er doesn’t make money, look.

Your favor is in vain."

"So think about it, how do people outside view this place? To tell you the truth, from the day I delivered the street lamps to the garden, people who live near Weijia Hutong always ask about me when they see me.

Who lives here, who is a big leader, or some important government office. Fortunately, they treat me as the old janitor and let me fool them. Otherwise, if they know that I am the landlord, they may cause trouble.

What kind of basket are you coming? If you want me to go out on the street wearing a hat again, will I survive? I still get chills down my spine just thinking about it."

"What's even more unfortunate is that in the past two years, the government has called for water and electricity conservation. It must be due to insufficient energy supply. Since last year, there have been water and power outages. It is conceivable that for a garden as big as ours, we use a lot of water.

Is there something wrong with the electricity consumption? Last month, people from the power supply bureau and the water plant came to find out what was going on."

"Fortunately, Director Wei from the street was nice to us. He said that there were foreigners living here. He used your Aunt Jiang's American passport to fool them into leaving first. But this is not a common thing. If things go on like this, there will be people coming. Anyway,

Such a large garden cannot be maintained by one person, nor can we enjoy it privately."

"So I thought about it a lot, and since I can't hide it, I might as well stop being secretive and just show it openly. At the moment, if I want to continue to seek peace and maintain this new situation, I'm afraid that's all I can do.
