Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

Ouyang Zhen understood what his good wife wanted to say in an instant, but as a grown man, he decided not to say some things that would offend them and arouse their dissatisfaction.

It would be better to go into the house first. Although he thought so, he still did so. He said "go into the house first" and walked straight towards the inner courtyard.

Seeing this, Ouyang Qing followed closely. She understood the truth and naturally knew what her mother was going to say.

Besides, Jiang Hai is so young. Even if he finds someone in the future, he believes his vision will not be so bad.

Seeing her husband and daughter avoiding her, Zhou Guilan spoke without hesitation, "Sister Sun, just remember one thing,

Keep the money you have well. No matter who tries to plead your case to you, don't lend it out easily. It's time for you to think about yourself.

As the saying goes, a penny can make a hero fall. What you save now is not money, but life-saving money for the rest of your life."

After a moment of silence, Aunt Sun quickly came to her senses and realized that she was weighing the pros and cons. Zhou Guilan did not urge her.

I accompanied him silently by his side. Although the words I said were somewhat shocking, they were all true.

They already knew each other and she spoke so bluntly. If Sister Sun still didn't understand, there was nothing she could do.

"You're right, big sister, I really thank you, this is how it should be, I'm not young anymore,

It’s time to think more about the future.”

"I'm glad you think this way. Our family will move to Beijing after the New Year. We'll have many opportunities to meet each other in the future.

Don't keep saying these things. We women should also be strong. As long as we work hard, we will be no worse than men.

Why should you suffer for a little idea? Okay, it's getting late, Sister Sun, you should go and do your work first!"

"That's great. You can come over more often in the future. Mr. Ye loves a lively atmosphere. I have soup cooking on the stove.

I won’t chat with you anymore, big sister, remember to call everyone to have dinner later.”

Looking at the person who ran away in a flash, Zhou Guilan laughed softly. She didn't realize that Sister Sun was also a noisy person.

Ouyang Qing had just finished explaining to his friends what he had done in the morning when he saw his mother coming in.

Of course, she did not forget to mention that the things had been sent back to her hometown.

Hearing her say this, Qian Yanpeng and the other two also started to think, "Then let's go shopping this afternoon."

Ouyang Qing wanted to say that they had already bought it, but before she could say anything, Qian Yanpeng interrupted her.

"Cousin, I know what you are going to say, but you are yourselves, this is different. Besides, it's a rare opportunity for me to come out.

Isn't it normal to bring some small gifts to the elders at home? "

Hearing this, Xiang Xiaoqing and Ouyang Yan agreed, "Qingqing, how about this, you just tell us what you bought.

When we go again in the afternoon, we can avoid buying the same thing.”

As the younger generation, they were sincere and caring about each other. What else could Ouyang Qing say? He could only agree. Then he remembered,

All those things this morning were bought by her parents to honor the elderly, and she really didn't put in any effort.

"I was wrong. I'll go with you guys after dinner."

At the same time, Mr. Ye also walked in. "Are you discussing where to go? The meal is ready.

Shall we go over there now?"

The meal passed quickly. After a short rest, Ouyang Qing and his group of five went out to buy things.

Since they had made an appointment with Mr. Wang yesterday, the couple did not go out, but followed Mr. Ye to the study to drink tea.

After waiting for a while, Master Wang brought two people to the door. The master's name was Jiang Zhide, and his son Jiang Chao came with him today.

My ancestors were the ones who renovated the Siheyuan, but later on, circumstances did not allow it and no one dared to build houses on a large scale.

Jiang Zhide used his connections to help his son get a job in a machinery factory.

As the wind direction improved, many courtyard houses were gradually reclaimed. After the original owners of the courtyards came back, they began to contact Jiang Zhide again.

In addition to the father and son, there are several other people who used to work with them. Working in the factory is very important to these craftsmen.

Although it is stable, it is not as profitable as renovating the house! During the day, only Jiang Zhide and a few masters work.

The younger ones usually come here at night. They only finish the work in two days.

He thought he would have to wait for a long time before he could get work, but this morning, Mr. Wang found him and he got the news from him.

Although they were the ones who renovated the house, Jiang Zhide was still very happy because he learned from Mr. Wang that

The man who hired him to do the work bought all the courtyard houses of the two families and wanted to make major changes to the houses.

As long as they do a good job, why would they worry about not getting the rest of the work? Besides, a major transformation is not an easy task.

When Elder Wang led his men into the room, Elder Ye and Ouyang Zhen were playing chess. They were obviously fascinated by the game.

Zhou Guilan didn't notice any movement outside. When she saw the people coming, she immediately called out to remind them, "Mr. Ye, Brother Zhen, and Mr. Wang are here."

At this time, Ouyang Zhen had just thought about where the chess piece should be placed next. Hearing this, he paused holding the chess piece.

Then he looked towards the courtyard and saw the figures of Mr. Wang and his companions. He quickly put down the chess pieces in his hands.

"Mr. Ye, now that someone has arrived, let's continue this chess game later. What do you think?"

The chessboard in front of him seemed ordinary, but in fact it was full of undercurrents. Although Mr. Ye felt regretful, he also knew that the current chess game was very complicated.

I'm afraid today is in jeopardy. I can't help but look at Old Wang with a hint of reproach in my eyes. This old Wang is really good at making trouble.

A good game of chess is about to be put on hold at the critical moment. Forget it, forget it. It is more important to get back to business.

Seeing someone was about to enter the house, the couple quickly stood up to greet him. Ouyang Zhen asked, "Mr. Wang, you are here.

These two are the masters you mentioned last time, right?"

"Ouyang, Xiao Zhou, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Zhide, Master Jiang. He is a famous old craftsman in our Jing City.

This is what our family has been doing for generations. This is his son Jiang Chao. I heard that you are going to dig underground and cause quite a stir.

I mentioned this to Master Jiang, and I tell you, it was a coincidence that his son had done this job for someone not long ago.

They said they were renovating a western-style house in the suburbs. The whole house was decorated in a foreign style, and the bathroom was also inside the house.

Master Jiang didn't go to the suburbs because they were too far away. In fact, he was more skilled in old-style courtyard houses, so he didn't go this time.

That's why he wanted Jiang Chao to come along."

The other party has experience in renovating houses, which is undoubtedly a good thing. Ouyang Zhen was very happy to hear this.

The drawings in my hand are a bit complicated. Maybe the other party can understand a little bit of it.

"Hello, Master Jiang and Comrade Jiang. I am Ouyang Zhen and this is my wife Zhou Guilan. I am very happy to meet you."

After the two sides introduced themselves, before Ouyang Zhen took out the drawings from his bag, he heard Master Jiang ask,

"Comrade Ouyang, I heard from Elder Wang that you want to dig a channel in the courtyard to connect to the various courtyards, right?"

Ouyang Zhen knew that his idea was definitely superior to the decoration of the house at present. If there were no detailed drawings,

Even if you describe it clearly, the other party probably only has a vague understanding of it, and you can't stop moving your hands while you're talking.

First, he took out the blueprint from his bag and handed it to the father and son respectively. Then he said to them slowly,

"Master Jiang, these are the drawings I drew yesterday. You can take a look at them first, and then we can talk about the next topic."

As the saying goes, there are 360 ​​professions and every profession has its own top talent. In fact, reading blueprints is very simple for experts.

Especially for experienced masters, as long as they know the tricks, there is no drawing that they cannot understand. What's more, some experienced masters,

After reading the blueprint, the image of what the finished product will look like will emerge in your mind. The father and son just took over the blueprint.

He lowered his head and began to examine it carefully. After a short while, Jiang Zhide looked up and asked in shock,

"Great, great, great... Comrade Ouyang, I wonder if you could tell me who drew this picture, and if you could introduce him to someone."

After saying this, he seemed to be afraid that Ouyang Zhen might misunderstand something, so he immediately continued, "Don't misunderstand, Comrade Ouyang, I don't mean anything else.

What I want to ask is that the drainage and bathroom renovation in this drawing are too clever.

It is hard to describe how exquisite it is, so I want to get to know it."

Jiang Zhide's tone was very sincere, which was a small matter for Ouyang Zhen, but he was surprised by Master Jiang's reaction.

How to put it? His eyes lit up as if he had seen a close friend, otherwise he wouldn't have said this.

"No, Master Jiang, you are too polite. I am just a little surprised. I am not afraid of you laughing at me.

I drew this drawing by myself. When I was young, I met an old man by chance.

He said he had studied abroad and was looking for his relatives. I happened to help him a little at that time. After several contacts,

Seeing that I had some talent, he insisted on taking me in as his apprentice. However, he only taught me for a short period of time. Before the big movement started,

The old man had some family matters, so he left in a hurry, leaving only a letter. Now I think it's a good thing that he left.

Otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened. My only regret over the years is that I didn’t have time to learn all of his skills.”

Ouyang Zhen had thought of this reason a long time ago. A big part of the reason why he said this was that,

When he came to Beijing, the fact that he could draw pictures would sooner or later attract people's attention. Rather than being investigated later,

It would be better to find a good excuse first. Even if this matter is exposed later, this old man who appeared out of nowhere,

It will also make it impossible for those who are interested to investigate.

Jiang Zhide's expression was very shocked. Almost every detail of the drawings in his hand was

They were all modified very reasonably, even more so than before. This was the first time he had seen such a change in all the years he had been doing this job.

Although there were a few places marked on such an exquisite drawing, he still had a vague understanding of them, but these were not a problem.

I can still ask about it later. The world is so big that there are really all kinds of things. I have been a craftsman for almost half my life.

This is the first time I have seen such drawings. I am afraid that the previous drawings for renovating the villa were not as complete in details as these!

He has such ability at such a young age. This young man will be very powerful in the future. Jiang Zhide sighed secretly.

"What a talented person! I didn't expect Comrade Ouyang to have achieved so much at such a young age. It really makes others envious and admired!"

"You are too kind, Master Jiang. That old gentleman is really too good. Before he left, he repeatedly reminded me in his letter,

He said that you should not limit yourself to what is in front of you, but should use your imagination in everything. It is because of his words that I have persisted in drawing all these years. "

Having seen the prosperity of the future, Ouyang Zhen knew that in the next few decades, China would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Although it is a very good thing, I cannot say these words for the time being. The college entrance examination has been resumed, and in my opinion it is a foregone conclusion.

I thought of many possibilities, but I didn't think it was him. In fact, when I first heard about this drawing, it was him who drew it.

I was still stunned for a moment. I can only say that talent is still difficult to describe. Jiang Zhide pointed to the blueprint for the renovation of the floor heating.

He asked Ouyang Zhen, "Comrade Ouyang, can you help explain what this picture means?

Why are these curved things laid on the floor of the house? What are these things and what are their uses? "

As expected of an old master, he asked the most critical questions at a glance. You know, so many drawings have been modified by him.

His vision was really sharp. Originally, he had planned to wait until at least he had looked at the detailed drawings before Master Jiang would get the job done.

This might be the benefit of dealing with smart people! Perhaps it was because the expectant eyes were too eager, Ouyang Zhen felt quite helpless.

Then he began to analyze it in a low voice with the two of them. Ouyang Zhen spoke attentively, and the father and son were fascinated by it.

No one cared to sit down, and they all stood at the door. Finally, Zhou Guilan couldn't help but remind them.

"Brother Zhen, please stop standing there. Let the two masters sit down and discuss slowly."

In the gap between talking, he did not forget to pour tea, and at the same time, he did not forget to complain in his heart. Brother Zhen is really something. Whenever he encounters a topic related to this aspect,

I always forget myself.

Elder Wang and Elder Ye looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a little amused. It seemed that Ouyang was only seemingly steady.

If they don't encounter something interesting, they will immediately change their attitude. However, they can't help with this matter today.

The two of them couldn't just sit around and do nothing, so they finally went to study the chess game.

Ouyang Qing and his group did not delay anywhere after leaving the house and went straight to the department store. You should know that this department store,

But it is hard to find it anywhere else except Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The most excited among them are Qian Yanpeng,

Xiang Xiaoqing, Ouyang Yan and the other two were originally planning to buy gifts, so they had prepared enough money in their pockets.

Department stores are not like supply and marketing cooperatives. The things displayed inside are dazzling and there are many kinds of things.

Qian Yanpeng did not tell his parents that he had been admitted to university, even after the results of the college entrance examination were announced.

His family had never written a letter to him, so when he was thinking about buying a gift, the first people he thought of were his grandfather and two uncles.

He did not sleep last night. When he was in Qingshan Brigade, he had been working hard to save money. He never thought that one day he would be able to live in Beijing.

It seemed unreal to have my own house and shop. At the same time, I had an idea in my mind.

In addition to a few elders, gifts for a few friends cannot be left out.
