Chapter 585 Promise
Stepping into the ancient house that is obviously quite different from the one we have walked through, just the few steps in front of the door and the two majestic stone lions exude a sense of momentum.
The large and wide gate and the thick courtyard wall further demonstrate the extraordinary nature of this house.
Before An Songyu even went in, he roughly understood why they wanted to repair it.
The ancient house is very large. You can tell this by looking at the trees planted in the front and back courtyards without even looking at the buildings.
This old house is probably much older than the three of them combined.
But it is indeed as Yan Yaozu said, when the ancient house was built, the heavy humidity on the island was taken into consideration, and the materials used were mainly stone.
Even with the passage of time, these stones have shown many signs of aging.
But it is not easy to damage.
It is true that no one has lived here for some time. Some places are not only dirty, but even moss has grown on them.
In addition, there are also places where wood is used, such as windows, pillars, and roofs.
That should be the focus of repair.
An Songyu looked carefully and saw that some of the original paint was mottled, which was not a big deal.
The wood in some places has been damaged due to the loss of waterproof paint over time.
Some are obviously deformed due to blisters and sun exposure.
Some of them have simply decayed, and some even have traces of insects.
These obviously need to be checked bit by bit.
At the same time, you have to find similar materials to make classical carvings!
In addition to these, the furniture in the house is also quite complete.
The person who brought everyone here touched the furniture, which was so covered in dust that its original appearance could not be seen clearly, and said with a helpless smile: "I don't know if these furniture can still be used."
"Even if it works, do you still plan to continue using it?" Yan Yaozu blew the dust off his hands in disgust.
Looking at the spider web hanging in front of me, I quickly changed direction and continued walking.
"It's not easy to find good furniture for this house." The man said helplessly.
He specifically looked for An Songyu and the others, not just to do some casual repairs.
But I really want to restore the original appearance of the house.
"As long as you are willing to spend money, it shouldn't be a problem at all!" someone next to him said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, he winked at Yan Yaozu and asked for money.
Yan Yaozu raised his eyebrows helplessly.
An Songyu and the other two even twitched their lips slightly.
Fortunately, that person was obviously not completely ignorant of what his friend said, and he just listened and moved on.
After the group carefully looked at the house from inside to outside, they fell silent.
The whole house is bigger than the one built by Aling.
It has pavilions, towers, rockery and gardens.
There is even a place that is said to have originally been a large lotus pond.
However, it has not been properly cleaned over the years, and the original pond has long disappeared.
There are only a few puddles of varying sizes.
But it does look like it’s quite large!
Seeing An Songyu and the others looking at the puddles, the homeowner standing on the veranda smiled bitterly and said, "When I came here as a child, there were originally many kinds of aquatic ornamental plants planted there."
"It's a pity that there was no one at home to take care of this place, so it became like this."
Their family's road to wealth was not so smooth.
To be precise, when their parents were young, they suffered a lot because of this big house.
It was only after the reform and opening up that they once again seized the opportunities of the times and had the chance to live their current lives again.
This house has been vacant, destroyed and restored several times.
It’s just that it hasn’t been cleaned up yet, so An Songyu and the others can’t see it.
After returning, he specifically explained the various conditions of the ancient house again, and then once again asked for this matter in an extremely solemn manner.
An Songyu thought about the appearance of the old house and hesitated for a long time before nodding.
After all, it was just an ordinary family's old house, not as complicated as she imagined.
However, only after cleaning it up can we clearly know what kind of craftsmen and materials are needed.
After hearing An Songyu's answer, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Henian, who had been reluctant to speak all the way, suddenly became active.
Jian Ziyu couldn't help but shake his head.
He held his wife's head and whispered, "Ayu, you've worked hard!"
"It's not hard at all, it's just the company's business!" An Songyu shook his head slightly.
When she returned to the company and told An Jianguo and his two brothers about this, they were quite speechless: "No... Ayu, why has our business scope expanded again?"
An Jianmin's words caused the two brothers to nod in agreement.
An Jianguo first considered the issue of manpower: "The house on A Ling's side will basically be finished this month."
"Although the workers we have have experience in building antique houses."
"But repairing it won't be that easy."
"It's okay. We've already discussed this aspect during our conversation." An Songyu explained carefully, "After the house is cleaned, we will be paid according to the repair requirements."
"In this regard, we can naturally take into account labor costs and other factors with confidence."
"Also, we have already started the construction of the antique building."
"I've seen their old house. It's very unique."
"The renovation process is also a learning experience for us."
An Jianguo and his brothers naturally understood this principle.
I'm just helpless about the complexity of the business that An Songyu has to take on.
However, all three of them are very active people.
On the second day, he took people directly to the island.
After seeing the house, they began to understand An Songyu's thoughts.
This house is indeed an ancient house with unique local characteristics, and it covers a very large area.
It also contains many construction features.
If they want to have business in imitation antique buildings in the future, this house can really give them some inspiration.
Because of this idea, the people An Jianguo sent over were carefully selected.
But An Songyu didn't have much energy to pay attention to the situation here.
Because the time has finally come for Aling’s ancestral home to be fully delivered.
On this day, both parties gathered in the house in an extremely formal manner.
Just yesterday, all the workers in the house had left.
Today, except for An Songyu and his friends, all the people coming in and out of the house were from Aling's family.
However, they were originally the welcoming party.
But today, no, starting from today, they are the ones being welcomed.
In fact, there may not be many opportunities to come and visit!
Looking at the house that had been safely completed, not only An Songyu, but also Jian Ziyu and the other two, the three An brothers, and the person in charge of the construction of the house were there.
The masters who were specially invited also had mixed feelings.
But mostly, they were delighted that the house they built with their own hands had taken shape.
A Ling was also particularly happy today.
When he saw An Songyu and her sister coming together, he went out to greet them.
She held one of them in each hand, greeted them, and whispered to them: "Ayu, thank you!"
An Songyu looked over with some confusion.
A Ling looked around the brand new house before saying, "My elders are all very satisfied!"
"We're already discussing the time to move in!"
"When the time comes, you must come and join our housewarming party!"
