Chapter Thirty-ninth: Xiao Gu Visits
The brick walls of the old house are quite sturdy, but no one has lived in them for more than ten years. Some wooden pillars and doors have been eaten by insects. Lin Yue and the others have only dealt with them briefly.
Lin Zhiyu looked at the room carefully and thought about his mother in his mind, but when his mother passed away, he was too young and his memory was very vague.
Yang Liu turned around and looked at Lin Zhiyu standing in front of the window in a daze. Her back was a little bleak. She walked over and hugged him from behind, with her face pressing against his back.
Lin Zhiyu held Yang Liu's hands, and the warmth of a woman warmed his lonely heart.
Looking at the vegetable stems dried by the sun, Lin Zhiyu smiled and said, "When I first came to your village, you went back from the town to study for a tailor and walked in front of me. Then you looked back at me and smiled at me. I thought at that time, why are there such a beautiful girl who still smiles so well?"
Yang Liu thought about it carefully, but didn't remember at all: "I smiled at you? I can't. I rarely smile at strangers."
"Probably I'm different."
Lin Zhiyu stretched out his arm and pulled Yang Liu in front of him and hugged him in his arms: "I was going to take the college entrance examination that year. At that time, I thought, if I got into college, I would go to your house to propose marriage. As a result, I didn't get into the exam. I didn't know how sad it was. But you came to ask me if I wanted to live with you. You, what a brave girl."
He was always an unfortunate person until she came to him that day. Since then, he has not only obtained his lover but also his family.
"Why did you come to propose marriage after passing the exam?" Yang Liu hadn't heard Lin Zhiyu say this, but she felt a little disbelief. After passing the exam, she would go away quickly and marry her country girl?
"You are pretty and have tailoring skills. Your family also spoiled you. There are so many people in the village who want to pursue you. How dare I pursue you with such conditions? If I get into college, then I will have confidence."
The open courtyard door was knocked, and the two quickly walked out of the house separately.
The person who came was two middle-aged men in their forties, with a simple face and asked with a smile: "Is it your family who wants to renovate the house?"
Lin Zhiyu nodded and invited the two of them in.
The person introduced himself. The brother Nong Gaoquan and the younger brother Nong Gaohe all learned carpenter skills from their father, but the younger brother later learned masonry and specially built houses for others.
After looking at the situation in the house, both of them exclaimed: "This old house is really good, with a high roof, and the beams of these houses are carved with flowers and birds. They were considered wealthy families in the past."
Yang Liu didn't understand, and just thought that such a small house was considered a wealthy family. Nong Gaoquan pointed to the wall of the backyard: "The house there should be the backyard at the earliest, and it was sold to someone else's house after partitioning it."
Sure enough, although this wall is a bit old, it is different from the bricks on both sides.
The kitchen and toilet were demolished and built into a two-story building with the backyard. Downstairs are the kitchen, toilet, and dining room. Upstairs is a large room for a studio that makes willows. The toilet is equipped with the latest shower and ceramic squat toilet, and the sewer is dug and pre-buried sewer pipes, wires and lights are all replaced.
The house on the right side of the main hall was converted into two children's rooms, with custom-made wardrobe, bed, desk, bookcase, wooden floor on the floor, and enlarged windows to increase light and air circulation in the room.
The main hall was laid with tiles, the wood on the beams was completely renovated, insect removal, and painted. Nonggaohe said that the tiles were to be customized at the Shili Ceramic Tile Factory, and the price was not cheap, Yang Liu only said that the price was easy to say.
The master bedroom is divided into a bedroom and a study, and all furniture is also made according to the requirements of Yangluan. The floor is covered with wooden floors.
"We have to buy some materials from the city or even the provincial capital, so the construction period may be longer." Looking at the paper drawn with the sketch, Nonggaohe was both happy and a little embarrassed.
Most of them build houses are very simple, and they have not encountered such detailed and high requirements.
"It doesn't matter if the time is a little longer, but the quality must be guaranteed." Yang Liu and Lin Zhiyu were not Mo Ji's people. They paid a deposit on the spot and entrusted it to the peasant brothers.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they left, and Zhong Zhipeng was still there. Lin Zhiyu greeted Yang Liu, and Zhong Zhipeng took five lists for her. The two of them went back to make some egg flower batter to fill their stomachs.
After a while, the two of them did their own things, one cut their clothes, the other was at the desk to prepare lessons, and correct homework.
Lin Zhiyu's back was wet, but he didn't notice the heat at all. It was not until Yang Liu put a cup of tea next to him and picked up the fan to fan him. Then he came to his senses and picked up the tea and took a sip, "Don't worry about me, I see that you have taken a lot of orders, so I'm afraid you're going to be busy?"
"I'll cut it today, and I'll let her sew it tomorrow when Liu Wenying comes."
"Don't you sew faster?" Lin Zhiyu knew that Yang Liu was doing things very quickly.
"Forget it, do it for her. I'm happy to be free and I can also make some money."
"Well, it's better if you are more relaxed, you can't make enough money." Lin Zhiyu is an open-minded person. He values family affection more and does not value money.
Just then, someone knocked outside the door.
Yang Liu got up and went to open the door, but unexpectedly, he was the young man named Xiao Gu next to Director Liu.
"Hello, Sister Yang, I've found you." Xiao Gu was very happy to see Yang Liu. He was actually bigger than Yang Liu, but in order to show respect, he called him "Sister".
Seeing his sweat on his head, Yang Liu hurriedly asked him to come in and sit down and talk.
Lin Zhiyu also stood up to help pour tea to greet the guests.
Xiao Gu glanced at the crowded and well-organized room, and a batch of cut clothes were neatly placed on the table.
After taking a sip of tea, Xiao Gu explained his purpose: "Director Liu wants to invite Sister Yang to dinner. I wonder if you have time?"
It turned out that Xiao Gu came yesterday but was out of stock. He also came twice today, and this time he found someone.
"When?" Yang Liu asked.
"Tonight at 6 o'clock, the new star's meal."
After looking at the time, Yang Liu said she would arrive on time. Xiao Gu smiled and said, "I'll go back and tell the factory manager first, I'll pick you up later."
Yang Liu refused: "No need to pick it up, I'll go there myself, it's not very far away here."
Xiao Gu knew it, so he nodded and then said goodbye.
"What's wrong with Director Liu looking for you?" Lin Zhiyu heard Yang Liu say this person and knew that he was a straightforward person.
"I don't know!" Yang Liu was not very clear either, and could only vaguely guess: "Do you want to go with me?"
Lin Zhiyu said: "I won't go. I don't know her. It's embarrassing to go. I'll pick you up later. It just so happens that I have an article in my hand for Teacher Fang to read it."
"Okay." After that, he started rummaging through the boxes and looking for clothes to change.
In his previous life, Lin Zhiyu was Yang Liu's assistant. Every time Lin Zhiyu was socializing, he would go back, even if he would not liven up the atmosphere. Yang Liu knew that he didn't like socializing, but he would still follow him next time.
In this life, Yang Liu will not tie Lin Zhiyu to him. He should have his own preferences and work, live the life he wants, and even have his own achievements, rather than becoming the man behind Yang Liu.
At 5:40, Lin Zhiyu sent Yang Liu to the entrance of Xinxing Hotel, and then bought some food to go to Teacher Fang's house.
