Chapter 10 Recognition
The next morning, Xu Qingsong knocked on the door and brought a plate of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes sprinkled with pea powder. It seemed to be freshly made and exuded an enticing aroma.
"I didn't have time to make this yesterday. My mom just made it for you to try. It's a housewarming gift to celebrate the move."
Xu Qingsong was dressed neatly, his clothes were slightly more formal, his hair was styled with hair wax, and he sprayed a light perfume, which exuded the coolness of cedar.
But his smile was warm, like melting the frost, and he asked, "Where are your uncle and aunt? Are they not here?"
"My parents went to the supermarket. We've been eating out these past few days and we can't stand it anymore. We bought some food and came back to cook for ourselves."
Liu Wangxue took the plate, pointed to the small stool left by the Second Master, and said with a smile: "Thank you, there is nothing at home now, please forgive me for this."
Xu Qingsong didn't mind at all: "This stool is very old. It's older than me."
Liu Wangxue put the plate on another small stool and brought Xu Qingsong a bottle of drink, Peach Oolong. Xu Qingsong took it and thanked him.
"Really? Then I have to keep it well. Maybe it will become an antique in the future. Hahahaha."
Liu Wangxue joked, went to the kitchen to wash his hands, came over to pick up the glutinous rice cake again, and sat down with Xu Qingsong.
She picked up a piece and tasted it. Her eyes lit up immediately and she gave a thumbs up: "It's delicious! Your mother's cooking skills are really good!"
"Then eat more, I'll bring you more next time."
Liu Wangxue didn't respond and asked, "Are you going out?"
Xu Qingsong nodded: "I have accepted a small program development job. The client requires an interview, so I have to go to the city."
"I thought you were just an agent now."
Xu Qingsong unscrewed the bottle, took a sip, and found it refreshing and sweet. He sighed, "What kind of agent is this? I don't get paid, and I still have to move bricks, but I can move bricks freely."
Liu Wangxue was a little surprised: "Your agency service is free!"
"At first I just helped out a little bit, and then people found out and came to me one after another, so I made a small website and shot some videos for promotion."
Xu Qingsong said it easily, but Liu Wangxue realized after this trip that it was not easy, and couldn't help but praise: "The chivalrous man is righteous!"
It’s almost time, Xu Qingsong has to leave.
They chatted for quite a while, but didn't say a word about business. Liu Wangxue quickly asked, "Do you have any acquaintances working on a construction team? I want to renovate the house and yard a little bit."
Xu Qingsong stood up, looked into the yard, and asked, "How are you going to change it?"
Liu Wangxue also walked over and gave a brief description.
Xu Qingsong thought for a moment and said, "Let me ask Tao Huayu for you. He also does some home improvement business, so he should know someone suitable."
Liu Wangxue nodded: "Well, okay, I'll treat him to a meal some other day."
Xu Qingsong took another sip of peach oolong.
The air suddenly became quiet. Two birds landed on the pomegranate tree, chirping and pecking at each other's feathers.
Liu Wangxue pursed her lips and smiled, pointing to the door: "Aren't you still going?"
"Oh, yes!" Xu Qingsong was embarrassed for a moment and walked out.
Liu Wangxue walked him to the gate and waved goodbye.
Xu Qingsong drove out and put the peach oolong in the cup holder. After driving out of the community, he called Tao Huayu.
It took a long time before the call was picked up. Tao Huayu's voice was obviously that of someone who had just woken up from a hangover: "Ah, headache."
"I want to ask you something," Xu Qingsong went straight to the point, "Do you know a reliable construction team that can do good work? Introduce one to me."
Tao Huayu could hear the sound of pouring water, and then he gulped down the water for a long time before saying, "What? Are you going to do some renovations?"
Xu Qingsong turned the steering wheel and turned onto the main road: "Liu Wangxue wants to renovate the yard and build a sun room and a grape trellis, and also a pool."
Tao Huayu suddenly sobered up: "I was wondering why I kept feeling like I forgot something! Yesterday, Old Li Fei dragged me out for a drink, and I got so drunk that I forgot to tell you that Liu Wangxue is Xu Piaopiao!"
A dog suddenly jumped out and Xu Qingsong slammed on the brakes, but fortunately, he didn't hit it.
Tao Huayu thought he was shocked: "You are driving, don't get excited, don't get excited, I controlled myself yesterday."
The car started again, and Xu Qingsong said calmly: "I know." He recognized it at first sight.
Tao Huayu misunderstood again and said, "It's good to know. Alas, I have been a fan of her for five years! Five years of spiritual food, it's gone just like that, even eating doesn't taste good anymore."
"So now I'll give you a chance to perform," Xu Qingsong said, "If the goddess is happy, you might have a new story to listen to."
"Just wait," Tao Huayu suddenly became excited, "I'll contact Lao Li right away and guarantee to build a dream garden for the goddess!"
Tao Huayu cunningly used the project he was originally going to cooperate with Lao Li to trick him into renovating Liu Wangxue's yard.
Mr. Li was so fascinated by the big project that he even asked his son to help with the design.
After Xu Qingsong arrived in the city, he forwarded the information about the construction team sent by Tao Huayu to Liu Wangxue.
Liu Wangxue thanked them and after discussing with her parents, set a time for the interview.
Old Li brought his apprentice and his son to the house and did some measurements.
That night, the design drawings were sent to Liu Wangxue's email, along with a material specification sheet.
The family of three gathered together to look at it and were all captivated by the design.
The picture was not quite what they had imagined, because it was more beautiful than they had imagined, especially the sunroom.
The frame of the sunroom is of antique design. Although there are no carvings, it is embedded with lattice windows, giving it a sense of tranquility and refinement.
The wall behind the sofa is made into a display cabinet, which can be used to store books as well as handicrafts.
In addition, Liu Wangxue likes to drink tea, so Li Yu designed a tea table for her. It is marked as 1.2 meters long, 1 meter wide, and equipped with an induction cooker.
In the center of the tea table is a miniature version of a Jiangnan garden with a mechanism set up. When the lotus pond is filled with water, a waterfall will flow down from the rockery.
The pavilions and towers in the garden are also equipped with night lights, and the switches are connected to the induction cooker.
Liu Wangxue said excitedly: "Mom and Dad, I have to give him more money!"
While Liu Wangxue was admiring the moment, her cell phone kept ringing. The avatar on the screen was a koi fish, which was news about Lao Li's son.
Designer Li Yu: [Sister, have you received the picture?]
【What do you think】
[Do you and your uncle and aunt like it?]
[Are there any doubts about the materials?]
[Need to modify?]
Liu Wangxue had never come across this type of design before and didn't know the market price, so she directly transferred three thousand yuan.
Li Yu replied immediately: [Sister, the money from the construction team needs to be transferred to my dad. I won’t take any money.]
Liu Wangxue: [This is for you. I know miniature landscapes are time-consuming and laborious to make. Don't despise this little money.]
Li Yu: [This is a coursework I did before. It has been lying around at home and I didn’t spend much time on it.]
Liu Wangxue: [Accept it! Otherwise I will feel guilty! ]
After a long while, Li Yu replied: [Thank you, sister. I'll accept it. Rabbit happily spinning and scattering flowers.gif]
Liu Wangxue: [You are awesome.jpg]
