Over the next two days, Chen Xingling and Master Mo were busy drawing the design, revising it several times, and it was not until noon on the third day that they finalized the first draft.
"Okay, I'll take it to Lao Liao in the evening." Chen Xingling said, "I'll let him know if he has anything to add, and then we'll revise it later."
Master Mo reminded: "Why not let him come to Sanyuan. He can't understand such graphic design drawings. He still needs to have the real objects in Sanyuan as a basis. He can explain what is different, what is similar, what is added and what is deleted. Only when he can understand it in a more vivid way can he understand it."
"That's right." Chen Xingling smiled bitterly, "It would save him from pretending to understand something when he doesn't, and then being dissatisfied with the result. That would be troublesome later."
Lao Liao is a typical old man who cares about his reputation. He won't ask even if he doesn't understand.
The design drawings can be changed, but the most worrying thing is to modify the house after it has been built. Then it will have to be demolished and destroyed, which is troublesome, time-consuming, costly and troublesome!
Master Mo nodded: "So, it's better to be cautious."
Chen Xingling looked at his watch and said, "I have to go to Chengdong to register for school this afternoon, and then I'll go find Lao Liao in the evening. Is that okay with you?"
"Okay." Master Mo explained, "I'll use small branches and soil to build the main structure. When he comes, I'll let him see it more vividly."
"That's great!" Chen Xingling smiled and said, "Then you stay in the study and remember to drink more water. I'll get ready and leave for the east city. By the way, Xiaohu will be back from school around 3pm. Please remind him to drink water and wait for his mother to come home, and don't run to the factory to look for his father."
"Okay." Master Mo agreed.
Chen Xingling went upstairs to get his admission letter, ID card and other documents, changed his clothes, drank half a glass of water, and then rode his bicycle to the east of the city.
Dongyang Road is not too far from the north of the city. It only takes about ten minutes to ride there.
There is a red banner with the words "Welcome New Students" hung at the entrance of Chongqing University. From a distance, you can see a crowd of people rushing at the entrance. When you get closer, you can hear the noise and it is extremely lively!
Chen Xingling parked his bicycle, took the admission letter and went to register with the help of his seniors.
The school's accommodation building is short of beds, and local students will not be allocated beds unless they actively apply for on-site accommodation.
Chen Xingling had no plans to apply, nor did he have any luggage to settle down with, so he just registered, paid a small amount of tuition and fees, got to know his class, and received a class schedule, and then there was nothing else to do.
The senior student reminded me that there is no class tomorrow, and the new students will officially start classes next Monday. There will be a freshman welcome meeting the day after tomorrow morning, and a freshman class meeting in the afternoon.
Chen Xingling wrote down everything, asked if there was anything else, and then packed up his things and went home.
In a blink of an eye, it was already past four o'clock. She was thinking about the design draft, so she went to the old house where Lao Liao lived first.
Old Liao happily agreed and asked if it was settled so they could start work immediately.
Chen Xingling couldn't believe that he was even more anxious than himself, so he nodded quickly and said yes.
So, Lao Liao followed her to Sanyuan happily.
The door was open, and Xiao Huzi and a few little boys were playing hide-and-seek in the yard, with children's voices and laughter rising and falling.
Grandpa Liao looked at the children jumping and running around, and couldn't help but miss them and yearn for them.
"My grandchildren are in their early twenties, and they will get married and have children soon. When they return home with their children, they can play in the beautiful big garden just like your kid does."
Chen Xingling gave a thumbs up: "Children need space to play when they are young. The garden is not only for your leisure and retirement, but also a space for future activities for the younger generations."
"Where is it? Where is it?" Uncle Liao urged anxiously, "Bring it here so I can have a look! Quick!"
Master Mo leaned out of the large window of the study and shouted, "Big Brother! Over here! Over here in the study!"
So, Uncle Liao ran to the study happily.
Chen Xingling went into the house to wash his hands, poured a few glasses of water for Xiaohuzi and his "big friends", and then took the remaining three glasses to the study.
Mr. Liao was very satisfied with Master Mo's "semi-finished" model. He said that he had a general understanding of the orientation and the ratio of greenery to houses, and felt that the allocation was very good.
Master Mo pointed at the design drawing and took him around the living room.
"Look! The living room will be one quarter larger, and the front door will be changed to three large doors in parallel. The kitchen and dining room will be at the other end, instead of being small and exquisite like Xiao Chen's design. Here! Here! We can put an eight-person table here, so we can have dinner and tea together..."
After listening for about half an hour, Uncle Liao asked questions while listening, and finally understood it thoroughly. He finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay! It sounds quite spacious, and the garden is big too. I love big gardens the most. I first chose Chen's place because the garden outside is beautiful."
"It's enough." Chen Xingling explained: "Your place is much more spacious than mine. The garden is at least one-third larger."
Uncle Liao smiled happily and said, "Okay!"
Master Mo gulped down a large glass of water and concluded, "In short, we have allocated you a more luxurious and practical space arrangement. It will be more spacious and more impressive than the Three Gardens, with more living space and more occasions for outdoor activities."
"Not bad." Uncle Liao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then let's do as the superiors say."
Master Mo pointed at the blueprint and asked, "Are you sure? No need to change it?"
"No need, let's leave it like this." Uncle Liao nodded.
Chen Xingling was not quite reassured, so he took the design drawing and pointed out a few inaccuracies and explained them to him.
Uncle Liao listened to everything and said, "Okay, okay, I know everything."
Chen Xingling reminded: "If that's the case, then we can sign the contract now, and immediately find someone to start laying the foundation."
"Bring it here right away!" Uncle Liao was in high spirits and shouted generously, "I'll sign it!"
Chen Xingling took out the written contract and asked the old man to review it again to make sure it was correct.
Uncle Liao put on his reading glasses, took a few glances, then quickly signed his crooked name and pressed his thumbprint.
Chen Xingling also signed on behalf of the construction party and put his fingerprints on it.
"Although we are not a formal large company, but just a private team, please rest assured that our contract is valid. In case of any disputes in the future, the contract shall prevail."
"Okay, okay, okay." Uncle Liao answered with satisfaction.
Chen Xingling asked cautiously, "Do you have any taboos? For example, looking for an auspicious time to start construction? Do you need to ask a fortune teller?"
Uncle Liao shook his head: "Of course I did in the past, but I've been away from home for so many years, I'm used to fooling around, so I don't care so much."
Master Mo laughed and said, "The main gate faces east, so it's easy to find an auspicious day to break ground. Five days later is the best auspicious day of the month, suitable for breaking ground and getting married, so why not pick that day?"
Chen Xingling calculated that he had to find the workers in front of him and buy materials in the next two days, so he had to have more time. Three or two days would not be enough, so he would need at least four or five days.
"Old Liao, can we start construction in five days?"
Grandpa Liao nodded: "Okay! If there is a good day, you should choose a good day. I also hope that you will work smoothly in the future. By the way, I will send you 3,000 yuan tomorrow morning to pay the first installment. Girl, remember to buy me the best building materials!"
"Don't worry!" Chen Xingling agreed readily.
The sun was setting and the sky was filled with red clouds. Uncle Liao and Master Mo said goodbye and left one after another.
Little Tiger's new playmates also went home one after another, leaving the little fellow alone, lying on the grass playing with the grasshoppers.
Chen Xingling was just about to close the door - but unexpectedly the door was pushed open!
ah? ?
Chen Xingling's forehead was almost hit, and she was so scared that she stepped back in a hurry!
The next moment, the door was slammed open!
Guo Jiayue was seen standing outside her house, her curly hair was a little messy, her face was pale, her lips were as white as paper, her eyes were dull and lifeless, but her body rushed in like a gust of wind and stood in front of Chen Xingling.
Wow!!!
Chen Xingling was startled, but her instinct made her stand up straight and she immediately opened her arms to block the other person.
"What are you going to do?"
