I want to have a home

"Mr. Sheng, the location of your house is really good, with a wide view and a good view." Lin Jiale sincerely praised.

Sheng Mo stood on the balcony and looked out: "Well, it looks much better now. When I first came here to investigate the terrain, it was still a piece of grassland, very messy, so I always retained the original impression of this place. , I have been reluctant to move here for a long time. Now it seems that it is much more tidy. I have decided: I will move here as soon as the house is decorated, so please hurry up and help me decorate it as soon as possible." After finishing speaking, he said with a smile on his eyes Looking at Lin Jiale.

Lin Jiale didn't wear overalls because he came to measure the house today, just a simple T-shirt and jeans, which looked very clean and youthful, and it reminded Sheng Mo of seeing him on the school road when he first went to University A that year scenario.Sheng Mo's memory is very good, people who have seen it can almost never forget it, so when he saw Lin Jiale in the corridor that day, he was sure that he had seen this person, but he couldn't remember where he saw him .Later, when he gave him his business card, seeing the fanatical reverence in Lin Jiale's eyes, he immediately remembered that the somewhat shy and handsome boy who had a quick encounter at A University was not the little migrant worker in front of him.

Lin Jiale turned his head and said to Sheng Mo, "Mr. Sheng, you can't move in right away after the house is decorated. Better paint needs to let it dissipate the smell for at least two months before you can move in."

Sheng Mo nodded, of course he knew this, he said that just to express his urgency.

Not long after, a few people measured the size, and Lao Guo negotiated the price with Sheng Mo, set a delivery date, and signed the contract.Everyone came out together and got into the car, Sheng Mo said to invite them to lunch.Lao Guo quickly said: "How can you let Teacher Sheng treat you, I will treat you, I will treat you."

Sheng Mo said: "Boss Guo, please don't be polite to me. In fact, according to the old rules in the past, which house repaired the house without offering cigarettes and tea to the master? Now times have changed, and people keep everything simple. These good traditions They were all ignored, and the human touch has become much weaker. I must invite you for today's meal."

Lao Guo slapped his thigh: "Mr. Sheng is really a cultural person, and what he said is really lovely to listen to. We used to repair houses for people in the countryside. In addition to wages, tobacco, alcohol, and three meals a day for each master, the host's family returned them every day. There will be two snacks prepared, although it doesn’t cost a lot of money, but the focus is on this kind of heart. At that time, we worked for others, and we felt that we had a lot of face and were respected.” Lao Guo was born as a plasterer, and later entered the After entering the city and gradually growing bigger, he opened this decoration company.

Lin Jiale took a few glances at Sheng Mo, he looked like a scholar, he seemed pampered, he didn't seem like someone who knew the customs of the countryside.Liu Mingliang leaned over from the back seat and asked, "Mr. Sheng isn't from the countryside, is he? It's really rare that you know these rules."

Sheng Mo said while driving: "My mother is from the countryside. I grew up with my grandmother when I was a child, and I have heard and seen these things. Later, I studied architecture, and some books will introduce some old rules, so I am no stranger."

Sheng Mo turned the car into a side street: "The masters are all from H province, in fact, I am also from F city. There is a good H provincial restaurant here, which is very authentic."

Lin Jiale suddenly became happy. It turned out that Sheng Mo was still a fellow villager. Now he felt that Sheng Mo became very friendly, as if the distance between him and him was getting closer.When fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, there are naturally endless topics about their hometown.After ordering, Sheng Mo asked: "Do you guys want to drink? But because I have to drive, I can't accompany you."

It's a good habit not to drink while driving.But because of these words, Lin Jiale suddenly thought of that person, and couldn't help feeling a dull pain in his heart, as if a pustule that had been ignored had been punctured again.He quickly shook his head to drive away the sudden thought.

Lao Guo said: "Have a drink, let's have a drink. It's rare to be so happy. Teacher Sheng is also a fellow of ours. This shows that our H province is full of outstanding people and talented people. I'm happy, so happy!"

Sheng Mo laughed: "Okay, you three have some drinks, white or beer?"

Lao Guo said, "Is it white?"

Lin Jiale quickly shook his head: "I don't drink too much, Brother Guo and Brother Liu, let's drink. They don't go to work in the afternoon, and they will go back to sleep after drinking."

Liu Mingliang is already familiar with Lin Jiale's habit of not drinking alcohol: "Okay, I'll accompany Brother Guo to drink, you guys have some drinks."

Sheng Mo looked at Lin Jiale in surprise: "Why doesn't Master Xiao Lin drink?"

Lin Jiale smiled cautiously: "Drinking is a mistake, so I quit drinking." The sullen loss that time was really big enough. If it wasn't for drinking too much, nothing would have happened to He Fangxu, but even if it was that time Nothing happened, and there was no guarantee of what would happen later, anyway, He Fangxu had been opening up that big net all along, waiting for him to get in.

Sheng Mo nodded understandingly: "Okay, how about a bottle of Liuyang River?"

"Okay, Liuyang River!" Lao Guo made the decision.

After ordering the food and drinks, everyone waited while chatting enthusiastically about the topic of their hometown.Lin Jiale was obviously not in the mood, what happened today brought back his sore spots, even though he tried his best to expel it, but this matter still eroded the background of his mood, and he became gloomy.

Lao Guo talked about his family history on the topic of decoration. Lin Jiale has heard this topic countless times, so he is not very interested.In fact, he really wanted to hear Sheng Mo talk about his own topics, such as where he went to school and when he went to teach at University A, but he was too embarrassed to ask.Liu Mingliang knew what he was thinking, so he brought up this topic very considerately: "Mr. Sheng, it's amazing that you went to teach at University A at such a young age. University A is a famous university. You are really from our province H." talent."

Lao Guo and Lin Jiale quickly agreed: "Yes, Mr. Sheng is the pride of our H province."

Sheng Mo picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea: "Don't dare to be, dare not be, the masters are too flattering on me. I have no other skills, I just know how to read since I was a child."

Liu Mingliang said: "Knowing how to read is already very remarkable. Like me, reading a book will give you a headache."

Lao Guo also nodded: "Yes, yes. There are still promising scholars."

Province H has a strong atmosphere of learning, and scholars have always been respected.Liu Mingliang asked: "Mr. Sheng, if you want to teach at University A, at least you have to come back after studying abroad."

Sheng Mo smiled: "Not necessarily, if you are a doctoral student or postdoctoral student born and raised in University A, you can also stay and teach in the school. Graduates from one of the best universities in China also have the opportunity to teach in University A."

"What about you, Teacher Sheng?" Liu Mingliang is a very straightforward person, with the perseverance to break the casserole and ask the end.

Sheng Mo said: "After graduating from E University, I went to the United States to study as a graduate student and doctor, and then I was hired back by A University." E University is one of the top schools in the country.

Lao Guo said: "Let me just say it, Teacher Sheng is really amazing."

Lin Jiale has been listening quietly without speaking.To be honest, he was very envious of Sheng Mo in his heart. He was able to go to the best university in the country and study abroad in the country with the most developed education. No wonder he was hired by University A as an associate professor.And what is especially rare is that after he went to study in the United States, he was willing to return to China to develop.Looking back and thinking about myself, if I could go to university at the beginning, my future path would definitely not be the same as it is now, but I can only think about it.

After dinner, Sheng Mo said he would drive them back, Lin Jiale quickly waved his hand and refused: "Don't bother Teacher Sheng, we can just go back by ourselves."

Although Liu Mingliang and Lao Guo drank some wine, they didn't drink too much, and they both insisted on going back by themselves.

Sheng Mo opened the car door, and suddenly remembered something: "Master Xiaolin, there is something I forgot to tell you. My house has added some special requirements for details, and I marked them out on the design drawing. You see Do you bring it when we go to see the material tomorrow, or do you go to my house to see it now?"

Lin Jiale thinks about it, there is nothing to do in the afternoon, so it's good to go and have a look, find out the situation early, maybe you can pay attention to something when buying materials tomorrow. "I'll go now. Brother Guo, Brother Liu, can you go back by yourself?"

Lao Guo and Liu Mingliang waved their hands: "No problem, you can go, I will trouble you about this matter, and communicate with Teacher Sheng carefully, and pay more attention to details."

Lin Jiale nodded: "I know, be careful on the road." After speaking, he followed Sheng Mo into the car.

Sheng Mo backed the car out, then drove onto the main road and got into the traffic: "Master Xiao Lin is not very old, how long has he been doing renovations?" This was definitely said casually.

Lin Jiale said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I haven't been doing decoration for a long time, only more than half a year. But Mr. Sheng, don't worry, although I don't have very rich experience, Brother Liu and the others are all veterans who have been doing it for many years. Shanghuo is absolutely beautiful."

Sheng Mo smiled faintly: "I'm not worried about this, I'm willing to hand over the house to you for decoration because I believe in Master Xiaolin's character and sense of responsibility."

Lin Jiale looked at Sheng Mo in surprise, how did he know his sense of responsibility.

Sheng Mo said: "I heard you call someone in the corridor that day, saying that you used the wrong tiles. I think it is very valuable for a decorator to have such professional ethics and sense of responsibility. I think, my If the house is in your hands, it should be the best, so I decided to invite you to help me decorate the house."

Lin Jiale blushed a little, and said embarrassedly: "I think decorating someone's house should be like decorating your own home. People are like this, and only when they do things for themselves, they will do their best , so I always decorate other people's houses as if they were my own."

Sheng Mo raised his eyebrows, this Lin Jiale was really surprising, he laughed: "Master Xiao Lin seems to be a very responsible and caring person, that is really a blessing for your family. I can invite you to help me decorate the house, It's also my luck."

This sentence touched Lin Jiale's sore spot, he avoided the subject and said, "It is also my honor to help Mr. Sheng renovate the house."

Sheng Mo must have never imagined that this little master who decorates other people's houses as his own doesn't even have a home of his own.
