The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Everyone turned to look at the voice, and as expected, it was the woman: Yuan Jingjing.

The head teacher nodded, and she walked onto the podium gracefully.

“I have been the class monitor since elementary school and I am very familiar with how to serve my classmates.

I am also confident in setting an example technically.

. . . . . .

So, please believe me and vote for me."

Her speech was well-founded and neither condescending nor condescending, and received warm applause from everyone.

Liu Guangming was the next to go up. His speech was very brief.

"Students, I won't say anything else. The biggest advantage is that I know a lot of people, and I have some uncles in the industrial area.

I am also a very enthusiastic person, and as long as I am a friend, I will try my best to help you in the future.”

After saying that, he glanced at Li Yuan provocatively, and then walked towards his seat.

Everyone looked at each other with strange eyes.

His younger brother took the lead in applauding, and slowly, there was a burst of sparse applause in the classroom.

Such a contrast, Liu Guangming didn't take it seriously at all, he just looked at the people applauding and kept nodding.

The teacher frowned, but finally said nothing.

Then a few more people came on stage and their speeches were quite satisfactory, nothing outstanding.

The teacher looked at Li Yuan for a while, but he pretended not to know.

After voting, the candidate for squad leader was, as expected, Yuan Jingjing, and the second place was actually Liu Guangming, with only 5 fewer votes than Yuan Jingjing.

The last spot for deputy squad leader was a sunny and handsome young man named Song Zhiliang, who also had a certain background.

Judging from the election of squad leaders, people who have worked for several years behave very realistically.

Ability is a reference, what matters is background strength.

During the break, the girls all gathered around Yuan Jingjing and chatted.

Most of the boys surrounded Liu Guangming, and a small number of them surrounded Song Zhiliang.

There were also a few people like Li Yuan who did not join their group and walked out of the classroom individually.

Li Yuan stood in the corridor, took out his cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.

Soon, Wang Fang came over from the other side of the corridor. She must have just gone to the toilet.

"Why don't you compete for squad leader? We have already agreed to vote for you."

"You also know that I didn't like to show off when I was in school."

"Hmph, weren't you pretty awesome when I saw you just now!".

"That's for the sake of my classmates. Otherwise, I would be most afraid of trouble."

Wang Fang felt happy when she heard this.

"It sounds like Liu Guangming has a strong background. Aren't you worried?"

"Was it useful to worry about?"

"It doesn't seem to work."

"That's okay, what's supposed to come will definitely come."

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Why are you afraid? They are all the same head and scar."

"You're awesome!" Wang Fang smiled heartlessly.

"Don't worry, if you can't survive, just come to me and I'll help you get the job done."

She actually had no idea, but she thought that if one day, her uncle would not be able to help.

"Okay, if I don't have anything to eat then, I'll just mess with you," Li Yuan also joked.

The little girl seemed to have thought of something, and her smile slowly turned red.

In the second class, formal teaching has begun, and the lecturer is a middle-aged female teacher.

He doesn't speak hastily or slowly, and his temper seems to be very gentle.

The content is relatively simple, just explaining the basic principles of drawing and the use of tools.

In class, the teacher showed several mechanical drawings, including two views and three views.

This reassured Li Yuan. The mechanical drawing he learned in his freshman year was not considered an advanced method.

After class, girls are picked up from their homes, while boys mostly go home alone.

Thinking that there would be a dispute, Liu Guangming left in a hurry after school.

The first time I took class, there were good and bad points, but overall I felt good.

Silent all night.

The following days became very ordinary.

Go to work on time and go to night school on time.

As time goes by, the classmates gradually become familiar with each other, and they can also chat a few words during breaks.

Since that day, Liu Guangming has not caused trouble to Li Yuan again.

If the guess is correct, he must have found someone to investigate Li Yuan and must have known about the secret level situation.

The two never had any interactions with each other, and Li Yuan was too lazy to talk to him.

Wang Fang once hinted that Li Yuan had time on the weekend and could hang out together.

Li Yuan acted like a piece of wood and actually said he had no time.

After that, the other party lost the previous enthusiasm, and the two of them just nodded when they met, which was regarded as a greeting.

The end of April is quickly approaching and the temperature is getting warmer.

Su Wanwan also found time to start renovating the house.

On this weekend, all kinds of finished wood were transported to the compound, and the neighbors I met also helped carry it.

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang helped move the things and wanted to help, but Li Yuan drove them away.

"If you follow along, do Suwa workers want to pay you?"

"Brother, we don't want money, we are just helping."

"The problem is that I gave the work to Master Su. If you want to help, you need his permission."

The result of the inquiry was definitely a polite rejection.

Next, Li Yuan took Master Su's apprentice and pulled the cart to buy the needed cement.

I dare not put it outside the house, so I can only put it inside the house.

One is afraid of rain and snow, and the other is afraid that people in the courtyard will look jealous.

Therefore, the current house is no longer suitable for living in, so he left the house to Master Su, and Li Yuan simply moved in as the concierge of the unit.

House renovation is relatively simple, the first thing is to replace all the windows with glass windows.

Master Su helped purchase the glass, so he didn't have to worry about it.

The next step is to set up the main beams of the second floor.

Drill three holes in each of the north and east walls, and insert the finished square logs inside.

Then three pillars were erected in the middle of the house, the middle one against the roof beam.

Three columns form a herringbone frame on the roof, and the main body of the partition is completed.

Since the frame and various beams were all made in advance, the entire frame was completed in one afternoon.

Among them, the largest amount of work is the erection of three pillars.

Use an object similar to a Luoyang shovel to dig out the underground soil at the position of the pillar.

It was found that the soil layer was solid, so instead of driving piles down again, a pit was dug half a meter deep and a stone pier with a side of more than 1 foot was placed.

The earth is tamped down, and the pillars are erected on the stone piers.

At Li Yuan's request, columns were built to support each of the six wall holes.

Fortunately, there is no need for stone pillars here, just a corner of floor tiles.

The stone piers were chiseled in advance by Suwa workers.

The best big bluestone is carved out in one go.

The potholes are deliberately made all around to increase the bite force with the soil layer.

The edges of the part exposed to the ground are smooth and simply shrunk, without any complex patterns carved on them.

In the middle of the top is a small round platform, the size of which is exactly the same as the pillar.

This is the most common stone pier at the bottom of the column in traditional Chinese architecture.

There are different shapes in different buildings, representing different meanings.

Because it was home decoration, Li Yuan chose simplicity and gave up complicated patterns.

Perhaps because of later generations, he prefers simplicity.

Su Jiancheng had no choice but to accept the master's request, sighing secretly that he would not have the chance to show off his stone carving skills.

This weekend, Li Yuan participated in the entire process.

He didn't watch the construction of the main body, and he didn't know what to do.

Even though he knew nothing about decoration.
