Siheyuan: I am Du Shouyi

Chapter 35 Sofa
Du Shouyi was busy all night before preparing all kinds of materials for repairing the door.On the second day, he took the canvas bag to the outside of the cadre building.Waiting to pick up Gong Xiaobei to the compound.

Seeing this, Gong Xiaobei was a little speechless and said, "You take so many things again? No need."

"Ready-made dishes, by the way." Du Shouyi said vaguely.

Gu Ling's cooking skills are not as good as Du Shougui's.It's no wonder that she usually has 21 meals a week for the Ning family, and every meal is settled in the cafeteria. It's because Du Shouyi has gone, and Gu Ling cooks at home.If I haven't held a spatula for more than ten years, even if I have any skills, it will be abandoned long ago.

On the way to the compound by bicycle, Du Shouyi said, "You can play a little longer after dinner today. I'll come back to do some work, and I'll pick you up after dinner?"

"No, I'll do it with you."

"Today's work is all rough work, and the dust is boiling, so I don't need you. Come back tomorrow night when you understand it. Besides, every time you go back to eat, you leave. You haven't had a good talk with your aunt. Today you will Stay a little longer."

Gong Xiaobei hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

Without Gong Xiaobei, Du Shouyi could be at full strength.After a whole afternoon, the hut that had been abandoned for many years finally took shape.The dust accumulated for seven or eight years was swept away everywhere, and the doors and windows should be repaired and replaced.

Especially the door on the north wall. Du Shouyi tore it down and replaced it with a fir door several centimeters thick.There are three bolt locks on the upper and lower sides, and felt strips are installed on the four sides of the door. Safety, sound insulation, and warmth are all in place in one step. It took a lot of work.

By the time all of this was done, it was almost dark.Du Shouyi went to the front yard and called his sister and He Yushui. Together, the three of them tore down the wall blocking the moon gate, and piled the bricks in a corner of the yard to build a flower pond.

He was working in the yard, and the two girls took a look inside and out.

Du Shougui came out and asked, "Brother, did this happen all afternoon?" She pestered Du Shouyi in last night to have a look, and she knew exactly what the house looked like.

"Xiaobei's uncle sent a few people. I didn't intervene. They finished the job in a few clicks, and took away all the garbage when they were done."

"Oh." The little girl was already limped by the fool, she nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, I'll go back to eat after I finish watching, the rain is coming together, you two have put in a lot of effort today, you have to reward me."

"Brother Shouyi, I didn't do anything."

Du Shouyi waved his hand and said: "I said yes, and on behalf of Sister Xiaobei, I will reward you two with a big casserole. You go back and wait, I will get it right away."

After getting rid of the obstructionists, Du Shouyi released the large sofa from the space.Although 'Ashley' is a very popular brand in the United States, it has nothing to do with high-end products.But atmosphere, high-grade these two are all accounted for.Made of soft black calfskin, with wide armrests and backrest, it looks like a quiet monster squatting there, waiting for its owner.Du Shouyi felt that Gong Xiaobei would definitely like it, because even he wanted to nest on the sofa for a while.

After finishing all this work, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening when I arrived at the door of Ning's house. There was faint singing in the house, and it was the song "The Whale that Transformed into an Isolated Island".

Du Shouyi stood at the door and listened for a while, then knocked on the door.The singing in the room stopped abruptly, and after a while, Gu Ling came out and opened the door.

"Shouyi? I just said I was going to pick you up at the door. How did you get in without a pass?"

"I mixed in with an uncle."

Du Shouyi entered the room with a smile, and said, "Auntie, you two are so brave. Is this a prodigal voice?"

"You still know?" Gu Ling said, and then went to the kitchen to pour water.

Gong Xiaobei whispered: "I'm sorry, I was bored in the afternoon and hummed a few words, and my aunt overheard."

"It's okay, my aunt is on my own, so it's okay to hear." Du Shouyi comforted Gong Xiaobei, then looked around, and asked, "Where are Jianguo and Xiaowei?"

Gu Ling came out with a cup of tea and said, "I went to see an outdoor movie. Your Uncle Ning hasn't come back yet, and we are the only ones in the house. Shouyi, you wrote this song?"

Du Shouyi laughed. The word 'both' meant that both songs were 'leaked', but judging from Gu Ling's attitude, it seemed that she didn't think there was anything wrong.

Du Shouyi felt relieved, and said, "It all came out of my heart. I sang whatever I wanted, without any effort. Auntie, have Xiaobei talked to you? What do you think of Jianguo?"

Gong Xiaobei said happily from the side: "Jianguo sings really well, I didn't know that before."

After hearing this, Du Shouyi felt certain.As long as Ning Jianguo isn't a tone-deaf idiot.

Gu Ling smiled and said, "I don't even know what a mother is. How did you find out?"

"Feel it. I told you, don't blame me for talking too much. Jianguo has an aura and artistic temperament in him. This may be up to you."

This flattery was well done, Gu Ling clapped her hands and smiled, "Yes. You are very accurate"

The three chatted together for more than ten minutes, Du Shouyi got up and took Gong Xiaobei to leave.

"I've packed up that house. I'll clean it up after get off work tomorrow, and let it dry for two days before I can move."

"Hey, I've been thinking about this all afternoon."

"Didn't you miss me? I'm exhausted. You have to reward me later."

Thinking of those petty actions these days, Gong Xiaobei blushed with embarrassment.After a while, taking advantage of the darkness, she hugged Du Shouyi even tighter from behind. .
When Gong Xiaobei saw the huge sofa in the middle of the room, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"Do you like this gift?" Du Shouyi asked softly.

"I like it, I like it so much, it's better than I imagined."

Du Shouyi pointed to the nameplate on the corner of the sofa and said, "Ashley, it's an American brand. How about I take it off?"

"why?"

"Be low-key. The cowhide sofa is already eye-catching enough. If there are foreign characters," he pointed at it and said, "It will be a crime when the wind direction changes."

Gong Xiaobei knew what he said was right, but she really liked this sofa, if she just watched it disfigured, she would feel a little bit reluctant.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it. We'll install it when it's safe. Oh?! Wait?! I thought of a way, how about we try another brand? This is Gong Xiaobei's sofa, so it should have its own name." .”

Gong Xiaobei laughed when he heard this, the idea is really interesting."Can it work?" she asked.

"Okay, what's your name?"

Gong Xiaobei thought for a while: "Let's call it 'Whale'."

"Jingba? Why did you choose a dog name?" Du Shouyi joked with a smile.

"You! It's not Jingba, it's the blue whale's whale."

"Understood. Your Royal Highness, your Blue Whale Knight needs to take a break for a while." He took off the metal nameplate, and then quickly returned to his room in the front yard.

After entering the house, he started the electric metallurgy in his hand. After a while, a beautiful Chinese character '鲸' suddenly appeared on the bronze medal, and the strokes between the strokes actually had a taste of Wei Bei.

Du Shouyi took a look, polished it up a little, and returned to the backyard excitedly.

"Look, what else needs to be changed." As he spoke, he handed over the sign.

Gong Xiaobei took it and looked at it again and again with the warm sign.

After waiting for a while, Du Shouyi sang softly: "I have never been in a prosperous place, and I have never heard the noise of hustle and bustle,..."

While singing, he took the bronze medal and placed it on the corner of the sofa.Then he gently pulled Gong Xiaobei over and helped him onto the sofa.
