Gu Chengfeng's mission ended after Su Nuan returned to the mainland. The day after meeting the leader, Gu Chengfeng said goodbye to his family and led the team back to Shanghai.
Su Nuan stayed in Beijing, planning to spend some time with the two elderly people.
The weather was very good today. Su Nuan was walking and chatting with two old people in the courtyard when she met Wu Gang.
Wu Gang took over Su Nuan's decoration project during the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, he started working non-stop with his workers.
In order to prevent the company from doing a poor job during construction, he often goes to the site to supervise in person, which shows his responsibility.
But Su Nuan, the owner of the house, didn't care at all and never went to see it once.
Among the several courtyard houses, the largest one has been renovated and repaired, but I haven't gone to inspect it.
I have to say, Su Nuan is really kind.
Wu Gang has lost a lot of weight from running around these days. He saw Su Nuan leisurely accompanying the old man for a walk and basking in the sun.
I feel so miserable.
After greeting the two old men with a tired look on his face, he said to Su Nuan.
"Sister-in-law, you really don't worry about anything. It's okay that you didn't have time to renovate the house, but now that it's finished, you didn't even bother to inspect it."
"I trust you to do the work, and I believe in your ability."
"I believe you also need to go and inspect it. You need to check the furniture inside yourself."
"Okay, I'll go and see it when I have time."
"Don't wait until you're free. I see you're quite free right now. Let's go now."
After saying that, he pulled Su Nuan and wanted to go out.
"Hey, Gangzi, I'm with my grandparents, I can't leave."
Wu Gang finally caught Su Nuan and was determined not to let her go, so he spoke directly to the old man and the old lady.
"Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, you're tired of walking around the courtyard, aren't you? How about we go somewhere else for a walk today? And how about stopping by to see my sister-in-law's new house?"
Seeing that Wu Gang was determined to do so, the old man and the old lady agreed without much hesitation. They had nothing else to do anyway. In fact, they were also very curious about this courtyard house that was originally a royal palace and wanted to take a look.
Seeing that the two old men agreed, Su Nuan had no choice but to agree, and the three of them were brought to the courtyard by Wu Gang.
When the car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, Su Nuan helped the two old people get out of the car and saw the bright vermilion gate.
The vermilion gate, which was originally mottled and peeling, has also regained its former splendor.
Su Nuan helped the old lady enter through the gate, and the old man also walked into the yard with the support of Wu Gang.
The yard was originally overgrown with weeds and flowers and plants growing wildly, but now they have been trimmed neatly. The corridors on both sides have been restored completely according to the original design, and look full of ancient charm. It seems that the craftsmen were very attentive in the restoration.
There are two ginkgo trees planted in the courtyard. In the early autumn in Beijing, the ginkgo leaves turn yellow. When the breeze blows through the treetops, the ginkgo leaves flutter in the wind, which is very beautiful.
Walking along the atrium into the central hall, the central hall originally used for sacrifices has been converted into a living room for receiving guests.
All the solemnly designed ornaments that he had used for sacrificial ceremonies were moved away.
It was replaced with Chinese-style furniture, all of which were made of fine pear wood. The originally dim interior had the windows on both sides widened and a chandelier installed.
Several tiles in the center of the hall were replaced with transparent glass, which increased the brightness of the room.
The entire reception room looked very bright and grand. The old man was very fond of this antique living room. Wu Gang supported the old man and introduced him to the design and furnishings in the room.
The old man responded cheerfully and discussed with Wu Gang from time to time.
Coming out of the central hall and passing through the small garden, there is a reception room. Su Nuan plans to use this place for family gatherings, so the furniture inside is arranged more practically and the layout is more cozy.
The main hall is composed of two reception rooms, with four courtyards on the left and right sides. These four courtyards will be used as residences in the future. While the original basic building remains unchanged, modern interior designs have been added, such as flush toilets, separate and comfortable shower rooms, floor heating and electrical circuits in the room.
After looking at the courtyard of the room, there is a small garden at the back. The carp pond is filled with fresh water. The carp pond, which was originally turbid due to fallen leaves, has been cleaned up. The clear pond water is filled with many colorful koi, which looks very pleasing.
There is a stone table not far from the small pond. Various flowers, plants and trees are planted around the pond. Even now in early autumn, the flowers and plants around it look lush and green.
Next, you have to pass through the back room and enter the back garden.
Entering from the garden entrance, the old man and the old woman began to stroll around curiously.
The garden is surrounded by rockery. Not far from the octagonal pavilion on one side, there are several neatly planned areas of land, which are bare and nothing is planted on them.
The old lady asked Su Nuan curiously.
"Xiao Nuan, those areas are bare, what are you planning to plant?"
"Those areas are used as vegetable gardens. When you move in later, you can grow some vegetables, fruits, etc."
"Hey, that's great. There's enough space here. I can grow some food myself and eat it."
The old man was attracted by the small lake of about 200 square meters to the west.
"Gangzi, are there any fish in this lake?"
"Yes, there were already quite a few fish in the lake. Later, when we were renovating the lake, we put a lot of fish fry in. I also arranged for people to feed them every once in a while."
"Can we go fishing now?"
"Sure, Grandpa Gu, do you see the pavilion in the middle of the lake? There are several fishing platforms specially built not far from the pavilion."
Su Nuan saw that the old man was interested in fishing and said quickly.
"Grandpa, you can fish whenever you want from now on."
