Chapter 494 "That Classmate"
Ning Xiyue came out of the toilet and nodded to them: "Not bad, we can put up a sign in the yard and put up some slogans."
"Okay, let's do it." Zhang Jianguo wrote down the proposal on paper. Wu Dafa, who was standing next to him, nodded and wrote it down silently.
Wang Jiandong took the lead and said, "Sister Xi, this way please."
A small square pavilion was built in the innermost corner of the outer courtyard.
There are benches on three sides of the pavilion and a stone table and stone benches in the middle, which were made by stonemasons from the engineering team including Wu Dafa.
Don't underestimate the cost of building a pavilion. It actually didn't cost that much. The main reason was that the engineering team was full of talented people who knew everything. The wood was also purchased by their team and was very cheap.
Wu Dafa is the eldest son of their team leader and the leader who helps them make money. He has very good connections in the team among the engineering team members. People from several nearby teams give him face, or they all hope that he can help them make money. They are all his connections, and he can quickly find any type of talent he needs.
Ning Xiyue knocked on the main structure of the pavilion with her hand. There was a layer of protective paint on it, which had dried in this weather.
The overall style of the pavilion is quite compatible with the courtyard, and the craftsmanship is also good.
From this perspective, Wu Dafa's connections are indeed well-deserved. He did a pretty good job and built the pavilion in a short time.
Wu Dafa stepped forward and asked, "Comrade Ning, how is it? Do you have any suggestions?"
"The pavilion is well built, there is no problem in this regard." Ning Xiyue looked at Zhang Jianguo and said, "We can plant a few trees on the left. When they grow up, they can block the sun for the pavilion, making it cooler in the summer."
"OK."
Ning Xiyue continued to walk to the next place.
The row of houses at the back have been connected into two open rooms. The larger area will be used for shelves and sales in the future.
Two sets of shelves have been placed inside, designed by Chen Yechu, who has advanced aesthetic standards, and produced by Wu Dafa. The remaining shelves are still being produced.
Ning Xiyue was still very satisfied after looking at the samples.
The smaller room is the customer rest area.
The side rooms on both sides of the inner courtyard are all designed as quaint private rooms, which will be used to receive VVVIP clients in the future.
Of course, each private room is different, the only unchanging element is the store’s icon, which can be seen everywhere.
The main room will be used as their office, and the reception room for receiving important business clients is also inside.
The side chambers are used for storing documents on one side and warehouses on the other.
All areas have been labeled, the interior has been divided into functional areas, the purpose of each area has been subdivided, and the corresponding interior design has been completed.
Wang Jiandong designed the interior of the entire courtyard house by combining architectural feng shui and indoor feng shui. Every plant and tree planted in the yard and every item placed indoors was carefully considered.
After showing Ning Xiyue around, Wang Jiandong asked expectantly, "Sister Xi, how is it? Is there anything else that needs to be modified?"
"After taking a look around, everything is very good. Everything looks good. It feels very comfortable standing inside. My body and mind seem to be happy. This is the feeling I want. You have done a good job. The acceptance has passed. Please continue next time."
Ning Xiyue spoke the compliments while signing the words of acceptance on the list with satisfaction.
“Ah, we did it!”
Wang Jiandong and Zhang Jianguo were recognized and hugged each other excitedly. Their eyes turned red. They felt that their efforts during this period were not in vain.
Wu Dafa was the happiest and he even jumped and clapped his hands.
Because it means I can get my wages and take on more work from Ning Xiyue.
Ning Xiyue also smiled happily and said generously: "Jianguo, pay Wu Ge's wages first, and the three houses behind will be handed over to you."
"Okay." Zhang Jianguo let go of Wang Jiandong and took out the account book to check the accounts on it.
"Thank you, Comrade Ning." Wu Dafa's dark face was filled with a sincere smile.
"You're welcome. I should thank you for helping me do a good job. I feel relieved to let you do this. Thank you for your hard work." Ning Xiyue held Wu Dafa's hand and thanked him: "Brother Wu, go to Jianguo to check the accounts and settle the money for you first."
Wu Dafa nodded, took out the bill he had written down, and walked to the side to check the account with Zhang Jianguo again.
This time, all the labor costs plus the wood cost totaled 625 yuan. The main reason was that the wood was expensive, but it could make a lot of shelves, so the cost was quite reasonable.
After paying Wu Dafa the money, they were the only ones left here.
Ning Xiyue said something about how hard it was, and then talked about the three houses behind. She took out two red envelopes from her bag and handed them to the two of them: "This is for the two of you, open it and take a look."
Zhang Jianguo and Wang Jiandong excitedly took the red envelopes in their hands, feeling how thick they were, and they happily opened them.
Zhang Jianguo opened the red envelope and counted the money happily. There were a total of twenty. Zhang Jianguo covered his mouth in disbelief: "Sister Yue, this is too much."
"Yes, Sister Xi, the agreed one hundred yuan is already a lot, and we haven't even finished paying for the other three houses, how come it's doubled?"
Although Wang Jiandong loves money and is very happy in his heart, this shows that he is recognized, but he knows what is important and wants to develop in the long run with the noble man.
"I am not that heartless. I have been busy with the renovation, decoration design, supervision, and purchase of materials for four houses. I have never worried about anything. Even if I am heartless, I would not give you only a hundred dollars."
Ning Xiyue was honestly saying that she was willing to give the money. She really hadn't worried about anything since she handed the matter over to them. She had to recruit such talents.
"I've told you before that if you do a good job, you won't be treated unfairly. Just think of it this way. Fifty is a reward, and the remaining fifty is the money that should have been given to you. Take them all. From now on, we are on the same team."
Ning Xiyue spoke the last sentence passionately and raised her fist towards them.
"Okay, we'll be a team from now on."
Wang Jiandong and Zhang Jianguo were obviously inspired by Ning Xiyue. They stretched out their hands and spoke with great ambition.
In their hearts, this sentence is more important than money.
"This one is basically finished now. Some small details will be improved bit by bit after the furniture arrives. The next three houses can also be completed slowly. We don't need to rush now. After school starts, everything should be focused on studies. We can find time to do other things. We have plenty of time."
Ning Xiyue gave them instructions, and after seeing that they had listened carefully, she suddenly changed the subject:
"School starts tomorrow. I'm going to treat you to hot pot today to reward you for your hard work. Let's go call other friends from the Youth Academy and go to my house!"
“Yeah!”
The two were in high spirits and packed their things quickly.
Zhang Jianguo walked out happily: "I'm going to get someone to buy some groceries and prepare hotpot. Sister Yue, you go back first."
"I'll go too. Let's split up. I'll go to Sister Chu's place, and you go to see Li Dabing and Tang Xiaohu. Let us call people, and Sister Xi, you go home and prepare the soup base."
Wang Jiandong continued the conversation, closed the door and pulled Zhang Jianguo out.
"Okay, come quickly."
Ning Xiyue got on her bicycle and rode home happily.
It's no wonder that they can get along well with each other because when it comes to eating, everyone is very enthusiastic. She is sure that if she says they want to eat hotpot, everyone will come.
***
Ning Xiyue turned a corner on the way home and called two roommates who had just arrived at school today to go home and eat hotpot together.
As soon as I got home and prepared the base of the pot, a large group of people came in excitedly, carrying all kinds of dishes.
When she saw the people coming, she smiled. She was right. As expected, when Wang Jiandong and Zhang Jianguo went to call for help, everyone was present.
Everyone had an excited smile on their face.
There are a lot of things on hand.
"Haha, Sister Yue, I brought you some big twists from home." Li Dabing, who had just returned home, happily shook one of the big bags in his hand.
Wang Mengmeng smiled and raised her hands: "I brought hawthorn cakes and hawthorn slices to help digestion."
"I brought some dried vegetables made by my father." Tang Xiaohu showed a pair of little fangs.
Behind them, Liu Yao, Yu Zhiyu, and the two people who went to pick up people walked in carrying fruits and vegetables.
As soon as Chen Ye came in, he raised the large and small bags in his hands and shouted:
"Get to work, get to work. We had hot pot and barbecue during the holidays, and we can't forget to have barbecue when school starts. We have to see it through to the end. Xiyue, let's put the barbecue iron rack in the tool room."
Ning Xiyue stood in the middle of the yard, pointing the spatula in her hand in the direction of the tool room: "Yes, they are all inside, go get them yourself, whatever you want."
Then I walked over to my roommate and introduced it to everyone:
"These two are my roommates. The lovely comrade on the left is Zhang Yuanyuan, who is in the same major as me. The dashing comrade on the right is Xu Qiuhong, who is in the same major as Ye Chu. You can bring them along to play."
"Hello, friends." The two of them greeted everyone gracefully, and others also greeted them.
Ning Xiyue also took the opportunity to introduce the names of the friends in the courtyard to her roommates.
"We are all friends, let's play together." Tang Xiaohu patted his chest generously, walked over and was about to take everyone away.
"Qiuhong and Yuanyuan will follow me, of course." Chen Yechu came over, grabbed one in each hand, and snatched them from Tang Xiaohu: "Come on, let's get the grill."
"Come on, come on, put on your aprons before you start working." Ning Qingyuan came out with a bunch of aprons and distributed them to each person.
Everyone has arrived, and the necessary introductions have been made. Everyone is chatting and laughing, putting on aprons, and starting to work on preparing the food.
Led by acquaintances, there were some outgoing, talkative, and lively people, all of whom were college students of the same age. Xu Qiuhong and Zhang Yuanyuan gradually became familiar with them, chatting with them while they were busy.
I don’t know what he was talking about with Liu Yao and the others, but he was laughing happily.
Ning Xiyue felt relieved when she saw this, as long as her roommates didn't feel restrained.
This meal is full of variety.
Her family had a refrigerator, so there was no shortage of ice. Chen Yetu and his people made various drinks.
Even Zhiyu and Wang Jiandong went to the milk station with buckets and tickets and brought back three kilograms of milk.
Ning Xiyue took out the cloud tea, and Chen Yechu made a pot of pure milk tea, which was full of milk flavor and tea aroma. It was so delicious when added with ice cubes.
There were songs playing on the radio and the whole yard was bustling with activity.
It can be said to be the last carnival of the holiday.
Until night falls.
After eating, playing and cleaning up, a row of people leaned on the recliners, looked at the bright moon in the sky and suddenly sighed.
"I will go to school tomorrow and start studying hard again. The vacation is over. I am reluctant to let it go. People in my school study really hard. They even hold books while eating and going to the toilet."
Liu Yao looked listless as she spoke, as if she didn't want to go to school.
"My classmates in school are the same. They almost never sleep. They read any book with great interest and are very active in class." Zhang Jianguo sighed. It was more tiring than doing farm work at home.
Wang Jiandong took a sip of iced milk tea and felt happy: "Everyone knows that the harder you sigh, the harder you study. You are that classmate."
"No, that classmate is Xiyue." Chen Yetu and his two roommates said in unison.
Wang Jiandong, Yu Zhiyu, and Ning Qingyuan, who were from the same school, nodded frantically: "Yeah, Sister Xi/Xiyue/my sister's name is well-known in our college. She is simply not a human being."
"No way, I obviously went to bed early and never read while in the toilet. It's easy to get constipated." Ning Xiyue didn't accept this title, and pretended to wipe tears with a worried face: "I am the most uncomfortable after the start of the school. I have several majors and the professors let me go, ah!"
A group of people made a "huh" sound and turned their backs to her.
"Show off!"
"hypocritical!"
"actor!"
“Not a human!”
....
“It’s so strong!”
Everyone turned their eyes to the person who disrupted the formation. Zhang Jianguo felt nothing and just looked at the big sister in admiration and clapped his hands.
Chen Yechu shook his head: "It's hopeless!"
Wang Jiandong clasped his fists and said, "You now have the title of the strongest little brother. I admit defeat."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Jianguo happily responded with a fist salute.
Ning Xiyue shrugged and gave them a cruel smile: "I'll tell you a secret, Ye Chu will also study design at the beginning of the semester."
"So you are that classmate!"
"It's you, it's you!"
Everyone stared at Chen Yechu and said in unison, turning over again and facing away from Chen Yechu.
The temporary camp had just been formed for less than two minutes before it was disintegrated from within by Ning Xiyue and fell apart!
The alliance was dissolved, and Chen Yechu revealed without mercy:
"Stop pretending. All of you are top students in the final exam. None of you can escape. If you ask me, we are all that classmate, right?"
Chen Yetu looked at Ning Xiyue and snapped his fingers.
Ning Xiyue laughed loudly towards the sky: "Haha, yes, yes!"
All the friends present looked at each other and laughed out loud.
Playing around is one thing, but the start of school is really going to kill her.
Ning Xiyue got up in the morning, feeling tired, and rode her bicycle to school to report to each teacher.
After enjoying two months of freedom, the first day of school was really a torture. After getting her class schedule, Ning Xiyue's legs went limp and she knelt on the ground with her head tilted, and she died on the spot.
sudden!
Time of death: 7:44:44 am on September 1, 8508!
