In the face of the crazy rainstorm, he was startled by a rolling tide of thoughts. As the summer rains came to an end, they gradually calmed down. As soon as the rain stopped, he put on his clothes, rode his bicycle, and went outside to inspect the other people's carports. There are some taxis in the Fuyuanmen community, and he visited them one by one: some have carports, some do not. If there is a carport, the best is an open house, followed by four sticks to support a big wrench or tarpaulin, and the bottom is half-covered and half-exposed under the eaves, Niu Liang shook his head one by one. For those who didn't have a carport, he didn't even think about it, turned around and left.

There is nothing to refer to in the Fuyuan Gate. He rode around again, and the results were pretty much the same. He couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Riding back from the Summer Palace Road listlessly, passing by the west gate of Peking University, he saw a Santana sedan slowly coming out of the palace-like gatehouse, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart: it seemed that from the body of the car emanated a kind of infinite reverence and holy brilliance, which made his heart tremble! He suddenly had a surge of inspiration, a surprise on his face, and he pedaled his bicycle with both feet and drove forward quickly. When I got home, I took out a pen and paper, and soon drew the first draft of the carport: an antique pavilion. Then I took the picture and looked at it in the yard for a while, and found that it didn't seem to be in harmony with my own environment, as if it had the feeling of standing out from the crowd. After hesitating for a moment, he folded the picture and put it in his arms.

In the evening, at Li Ningxiang's place, while chatting, Niu Liang took out the picture and said to Li Ningxiang with a smile: "I designed a parking place for my taxi, can you help me see it?"

Li Ningxiang took the picture and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Yo! It's so aristocratic! Our garage is not as high-end as yours—you really want to!"

Niu Liang: "But I think it's a little incompatible with my ordinary courtyard house, and it has a sense of standing out from the crowd!"

Li Ningxiang smiled: "You want to coordinate with your ordinary courtyard house?—— doesn't this make the phoenix become a chicken! What's wrong with standing out from the crowd? Can new clothes be coordinated with old clothes? If you want to coordinate, you should never want to wear new clothes! Standing out from the crowd is also a kind of beauty, and not everything has to be coordinated!"

Niu Liang opened his mouth suddenly: "You said it too well—— then it's decided!"

After a pause, Niu Liang asked again: "Who do you have to find to build this pavilion?"

Li Ningxiang thought for a while and said: "Ordinary people don't repair this kind of pavilion, and ordinary construction companies don't repair this kind of pavilion, so it's best to find an ancient construction team." ”

"Ancient Buildings Team?" Niu Liang was surprised, "Where are these units to be found?"

Li Ningxiang: "Places of interest, parks and gardens may be encountered, but will people do it for you? You are just such a small pavilion—— but you may be able to find them privately." ”

Niu Liang suddenly remembered that he met an ancient building repairer when he was walking in the Old Summer Palace, it must be an ancient construction team, so he said happily: "Then I'll try it!"

The next day, when Niu Liang went to Yanshan Auto Training to learn to drive, he measured the length and width of the car by the way, came back and drew the design drawings according to the specifications, and then walked towards the Old Summer Palace. After entering the ruins of the Old Summer Palace, I walked along the country road for a while, and saw a fork in the road, mainly fresh ruts, which stood out among the green bushes.
