[Chapter 428 Chapter 428 Brother, please don’t build a small palace for me! ]
Cheng Liyan first took his third uncle to eat a more distinctive breakfast in the old capital, and then took him to his new house.
At this time, almost everything that could be demolished in the yard had been demolished, and the water and electricity were also in good working order.
Overall, it looks like a construction site. Although there is still nothing to see, at least the initial sense of decadence is gone.
Shen Junlin was particularly interested in the hydropower lines that had not yet been covered, and asked very detailed questions along the way.
He even squatted on the ground to look at the pipes that had not yet been buried deeply, looking thoughtful.
"Brother-in-law, this is a great idea." He nodded approvingly.
Chen Junlin had already stayed at his sister's house for a night and had seen the flush-clean toilet, which made him feel not only novel but also convenient.
Today, after listening to his brother-in-law tell him about the extensive underground water network connected by these pipes, Shen Junlin was even more impressed by the development of the industry here.
He originally thought that electric lights would not be popular in Wushuang Country, so maybe he could try something else?
Now it seems that this automatic flushing toilet was obviously just his wishful thinking.
Shen Junlin sighed softly in his heart, feeling that the road to industrial development in Wushuang Country was both difficult and long.
But why be afraid if it is difficult and long?
His brother-in-law had just told him about China's efforts to develop its industry and economy, and even about the detours they had taken.
As long as you are willing to work hard for it, even if the work cannot be completed in one lifetime, there will always be the next generation, and the next generation!
Shen Junlin felt that they were lucky enough, at least they had the opportunity to come to China to take a look, which at least allowed them to know the direction of development.
I think as long as they take this as their goal and guiding light, their development will be more rapid!
Thinking of this, Shen Junlin's eyes became more determined.
Even though he hadn't returned yet, he had already started to consider what content he needed to add to the memorial to the emperor.
Cheng Liyan didn't know what his third uncle was thinking at the moment. He was thinking about how to ask the old emperor for wood.
Just at this moment, the old carpenter who had previously taken over the project for their family came over.
Although water and electricity have not been installed yet, the yard is large and some carpentry work has already begun.
So at this time there were two groups of workers working in the house at the same time.
Seeing the owner coming, the old carpenter came over with a lattice window he had made of miscellaneous wood and said, "Comrade Cheng, take a look at this lattice window and see if it appeals to you.
If it feels right, then we’ll start doing it.”
Cheng Liyan actually doesn’t understand much about these.
He took it and looked at it, and found it was straight; he shook it and found it was quite solid, so he thought it was fine.
Just as he was about to nod, Shen Junlin had already taken the stained glass window.
He weighed the stained glass window in his hand, and then couldn't help frowning.
I just feel that whether it is the selection of wood or the workers' skills and aesthetics, nothing is good at all.
Let’s not talk about the wood, just the dull pattern and the rough craftsmanship…
Shen Junlin didn't dare to think about how disgusted Yu Yao would be if he made it and nailed it to the wall!
But Shen Junlin still understood basic etiquette, even if he was just facing a craftsman.
He didn't say anything to criticize, but just returned the stained glass window to Cheng Liyan and shook his head slightly.
Cheng Liyan immediately realized that his uncle had something to say.
He sent the carpenter away with a few words, and then took Shen Junlin aside.
Shen Junlin expressed his thoughts.
Cheng Liyan smiled bitterly and said, "If it's wood, it shouldn't be noticeable if we cover it with paint in the future, right?"
Shen Junlin disagreed: "How can it be covered? This light thing, anyone can tell the good from the bad at a glance!"
"But we can't find so much suitable wood now."
Cheng Liyan spread his hands and got straight to the point.
If the third uncle had not come, Cheng Liyan and Shen Yuyao had originally planned to ask the old emperor for wood directly. At worst, they could just exchange it for batteries or light bulbs.
Now that his third uncle has arrived, Cheng Liyan has more ideas.
He wanted his third uncle to help him choose and see what kind of things would be most suitable for each place.
After all, those red wood, black wood, camphor wood...
Cheng Liyan has no idea which one is better and how to choose.
In his place, he would simply and roughly tell the old emperor: "I want good wood."
And Shen Junlin is said to have always been an elegant person.
As a refined person, Cheng Liyan felt that Shen Junlin was many times better than him in terms of being picky.
My wife said at the beginning that this yard would be left to him to take care of.
And my wife always does what she says.
The yard construction has been underway for almost two months, and this guy has never come to see it once!
The more Shen Yuyao acted like this, the more pressure Cheng Liyan felt.
The more I want to do better.
Now that such a good foreign aid has arrived, how could he not make good use of it?
Sure enough, after Cheng Liyan said that they needed wood, Shen Junlin immediately took charge and said, "Leave this to me. Brother-in-law, don't worry about it anymore. I will definitely get it for you."
As he said this, he no longer paid attention to Cheng Liyan and started walking around the garden by himself.
He walked and looked, stopping from time to time to examine carefully, as if he was constructing something in his mind.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Liyan became a little worried.
He hurried over and said, "Third brother, don't let the family produce wood! We originally planned to ask the emperor to replace it with batteries and light bulbs!"
Shen Junlin stopped after hearing this.
He looked at his brother-in-law and nodded: "Okay, then I'll think about it carefully."
After hearing this, Cheng Liyan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he thought of an even more terrifying possibility.
He quickly said, "Third brother, please be more cautious! Even if we are to find the old emperor to replace us, we must not be too aggressive.
I am just an ordinary soldier, please don't build a royal villa for me!"
The more Cheng Liyan thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
Although he doesn't have much contact with his third uncle, he has a picky wife!
They are all born of the same mother, so they must have very high standards.
If it wasn't discussed in advance, with his third uncle's ability, it is very likely that he would build a small palace for himself!
