Niu Liang learned to drive while earning money for the car, and after two days of calm, he suddenly had another hope and became busy.

That day, Niu Liang came back from school, and halfway through, the sky suddenly got dark, dark clouds rolled, like a raging wave, and a heavy thunderstorm was coming. He rode his bike as fast as he could, taking a shortcut, trying to get home before the rain. However, I still didn't win the heavy rain, and as soon as I arrived at the mouth of the alley, the raindrops of beans hit down, and instantly became a dense rain rope. Although it only took Niu Liang a little more than a minute to ride home, his whole body was still drenched by the pouring rain! He went to the house and took off his wet clothes, changed into a pair of dry shorts, picked up a towel, and came to the door of the house, wiping the rain from his head while looking at the heavy rain in the empty yard. As if the sky had fallen, the rain was rushing down like a heavenly river, and the yard was already a piece of Zeguo, splashing blisters, shaking like a layer of transparent egg eggs floating on the water, broken by the raindrops, and at the same time regenerating one, endlessly maintaining a dynamic balance. Suddenly, a flash of light pierced the sky, and then another thunderbolt exploded in the air, shaking the houses to pieces!

Seeing this, Niu Liang couldn't help but tremble in his heart: "If the car is bought and placed in the yard like this, it will still be damaged! You have to build a parking shed!"

This wish suddenly rose, and Niu Liang's heart suddenly became full of confusion. What kind of shed should be built? How should I repair it? Will I repair it myself or ask someone to repair it? What will I do if I repair it myself? As if he felt that he would not be able to do anything! When he asked someone to repair it, where would he find someone? And so on. And all this must be done one by one, no one can do it for him, not his mother, let alone others! He has grown up and is independent! Not to mention that he has been a self-reliant and sensible child since he was a child! Now everything has grown up! Just by his appearance, he is a big man, and almost no one will think that he is a middle school student who has just left school! However, when he remembered his experience of leaving school for more than 10 days, he felt that he was so immature, and he had used almost all his wisdom and energy to come over! The social insight of these 10-odd days was almost much richer and more profound than that of the 10-year cold window! The dream of a free life that he once harbored seemed to have been shattered, and freedom could only exist in dreams! Take the matter of earning money for a car, for example, although he had rationally felt that it was nothing and that it was just, but emotionally? His heart was full of awkwardness in doing those things with a woman who could almost be his mother! However, he could not show the slightest awkwardness, and it depended on a great deal of perseverance! Not only that, but he had to show far more than ordinary skills, endurance, and enthusiasm in order to win appreciation! And all this was just the beginning! How many hardships and hardships remained? Only God knows! But there is no turning back from the bow, and since he has taken this step firmly, he can only go on hard!

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 BJ 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, shining his heart trembling! 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. Niu Liang turned into a fork in the road. The rutted fork in the jungle detours, and after a while, an open field is revealed in front of you, low-lying, more than 100 acres in size, with no vegetation or trees, all sandy soil, and a large number of shells in the sand, which seems to be a dry ancient lake. Yes, this is the site of a lake in the royal garden. At this time, it was a construction site, full of ruts and rebuilt embankments, and several construction sites were scattered along the site. Niu Liang looked around for a while, and then came to a work site.

It used to be a marina for pleasure boats, with a stepped shore made of jade, and the rust-colored parts of the water-soaked stones are still visible. There seems to be a pavilion next to the shore of the lake, which has been restored halfway by an ancient construction team, and the base and pillars of the pavilion have been erected, and the top of the pavilion can be imagined. There were four people working leisurely. Niu Liang looked around like a tourist for a while, thinking about how to talk up, and finally came to the side of a young man about thirty years old who seemed to be the leader, and asked with a smile: "There was originally a pavilion here, or did you build a new one?"

The young man seemed to feel insulted, and immediately raised his head and said as if pleading: "We are a team of cultural relics and ancient buildings, how can we build a new one at will? There was originally a pavilion here, and we are restoring it!"

"Oh, that's the case!" Niu Liang paused and asked suspiciously, "Can you really recover exactly the same?"

The young man said confidently: "Of course! Even if it is a pattern and an inscription of the past, we can restore it!"

"Your cultural relics and ancient construction team are really extraordinary!" Niu Liang said admiringly, pausing and asking, "Then your salary must be very high, right?"

At the mention of wages, the young man's face became dark, and he said angrily: "Those who make missiles do not earn as much as they sell baked sweet potatoes, so how high can our wages be?"

"Yes, the current distribution system is indeed a bit unfair!" Niu Liang sighed and paused, "Do you want to make extra money?"

"Extra money?" the young man was shocked and looked up at Niu Liang, "What do you mean—"

Niu Liang smiled and said, "I want to build a pavilion." ”

The young man suddenly said happily, "Okay!"

Niu Liang was also happy: "May I ask your surname?"

The young man was a little excited: "My surname is Gu, my name is Gu Xuan." ”

Niu Liang admired: "What a name! full of elegance!"

Gu Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Are you still elegant?

Niu Liang immediately took out the drawings, unfolded them in front of Gu Xuan, and said, "My pavilion is much simpler than yours! Do you think there's anything else that needs to be changed?"

Gu Xuan looked at it and said, "The design is good—— don't you choose a name for the pavilion?

Niu Liang was pleasantly surprised, "Your suggestion is good! I'll give it a good name when I go back, and I'll give it a good name, and I will give it a good name, and I will give it a good name, and I will give it a good name, and I will —— you can copy it perfectly?"

Gu Xuan smiled and said, "That's a trivial matter!"
