Chapter 288: The Old Days Reappear

Before people enter the house, just by the architectural appearance of the small western-style building, they can go back to the old moment.

Then when you really go in and experience the prosperity of the old days in an all-round way, it will naturally be even more amazing.

To tell the truth, in the eyes of Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin, the main structure of the interior has not changed much, and 70% of it is similar to the past.

On the first floor, the large living room, small living room, dining room, kitchen, maid's room, and convenient guest washroom have been restored.

The biggest difference from that year is only the difference in the color of the wood.

On the second floor, there was a two-bedroom suite, three one-bedroom suites, which are also self-explanatory, and still retain their own bathrooms.

The biggest change on this floor is that the attic has a separate staircase.

The one-bedroom apartment that encompasses the attic has become a duplex structure in disguise.

There is also a basement, except for the room dedicated to the heating boiler, the distribution room with the generator is unnecessary.

So only a distribution box was left, and the room became a recreation room where movies could be played.

Outside, the more open space has been transformed into a minibar where you can play billiards and relax.

As for the decoration of the whole building, it is restored as old as the old one.

Not only the wooden staircase, parquet floor, and wooden shutters in the interior have all been restored to the appearance of the thirties of the last century, but even the furnishings and utensils also have the retro style of the old times.

Like a large number of antiques and furniture in the style of the Republic of China in the room, you can see them almost everywhere.

Iron flower bed with bed frame, brass lamp, brass mirror in the bedroom......

In the living room, there are octagonal lights, old-fashioned telephones, old-fashioned gramophones, high-back fabric sofas......

Each of these details is probably the things that Hong Yanwu chose within the scope of his ability, and they all have unique charm.

Even knick-knacks such as ashtrays and candlesticks, tea sets and tableware, which need to be used frequently, Hong Yanwu did not treat them hastily.

He carefully chose the blue and white porcelain, azure glaze or pastel from contemporary Jingdezhen, all of which are reflections of the old elegance of the Republic of China. The most eye-catching thing in the whole building is the grand piano, the beautiful English fireplace and the matching fire.

But the most important of all, the most precious things, is the large picture frame that hangs above the fireplace.

Because inside is a remade and enlarged photo of Hong Shoucheng and Zeng Wanhua's husband and wife.

All in all, the renovated small western-style building, after more than half a century of reincarnation, has now restored its original function.

The construction level is absolutely first-class, no less than when it took 70,000 oceans to build it.

Not only did it maintain the original historical appearance as much as possible, but it also created a gorgeous style.

And the internal facilities, such as bathrooms, ventilation, air conditioning, etc., are also more modern and convenient than back then.

Then there is no doubt that Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin are sitting in such an environment, looking at the smiling faces of Hong Shoucheng and Zeng Wanhua in the photo, it is impossible not to deeply remember the past.

In the quiet silence, what they experience is the tone that solidifies the vicissitudes of life and emotions, the quiet of the years and the stability of the present world in the interlacing of time.

It exudes both the charm of the past and the romance of the present......

I don't know how long it took for Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin, who were sitting on the sofa in the living room, to recover from their immersed emotions.

At this time, they found that they were actually awakened by the noise of the grandmen and girls.

The children of the Hong family have never been to such a Western villa, they are all upstairs and downstairs, wandering around to see the freshness.

Especially the kids were running like crazy on the wooden floor, and they were playing hide and seek.

Everywhere there was a "thump" sound and a "giggle" laugh.

In a happy scene, only Hong Yanwu and Shui Qing were helping Li Fu together, entertaining everyone with fruits and tea.

This time, they were even more relieved and moved.

The old couple glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but have a complicated emotion.

Because Hong Yanwu has been obedient since he was a child, he likes to engage in some crooked tricks.

Hong Lucheng had made a judgment in the past, saying that he was the root of all evil in the Hong family.

Wang Yunlin was also deeply afraid of this, and she didn't know how many times she had shed tears.

But as the years passed, the evil consequences that I thought were a prophecy never appeared.

Now it is the third child of the root of all evil, who is repeatedly considered by Hong Lucheng to be a good beast when he is dead, and has become the most capable son in the family.

Whether at home or outside, the most difficult thing to do is actually relying on him.

And he works hard and never cares about personal gains and losses.

For the two parents, the satisfaction and happiness that was completely unexpected must be indescribable.

But at the same time, there is inevitably a kind of apology that he was too harsh on his son at the beginning.

So both of them felt that they couldn't just praise this hard-working son.

called Hong Yanwu over, and one of them said that it was good, saying that it was difficult for their son, and they made their wishes.

The other asked how much it had cost, saying that it was not easy to do this, and he was afraid that he would have financial difficulties.

But what they didn't expect was that Hong Yanwu avoided talking about money, but asked them a question.

"Don't ask how much, it's nothing to me. As long as it feels good. Dad, Mom, I want to ask you, would you like to move in?"

"Moving here?"

Seeing that the old couple didn't seem to have this idea yet, Hong Yanwu added an explanation.

"I think so, when the old house was repaired, you didn't go back to live because the lifestyle has changed. Such a big house is not convenient or comfortable. Then this little building is suitable now, right?"

"I think our family lives here, you live in that two-bedroom apartment, and a few of us live in one bedroom, isn't that right? ”

"I'll go back and install the air conditioner and the phone. In this summer, you want a garden with a garden, air conditioning and air conditioning, a terrace upstairs, and an old house next door, how convenient and good is this?"

"Mom and Dad, you have to be happy, don't worry about the rest, I'll be able to clean up this here in a week. When the time comes, I will use it, move it, and I'll have someone get it. If you turn around, just come and live there. I'll ask two more people to take care of the housework at home, and you can enjoy the happiness in a down-to-earth manner......"

Hong Yanwu was very excited, and the idea was really good.

It's a pity that Wang Yunlin hesitated for a while, but still shook her head.

"Third child, Mom knows that you are filial. But after so many years, my mother has become accustomed to living in Furu. The conditions there are almost there, but the key is that there are people talking and lively. The surrounding environment is familiar to my mother, too. A spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the alleys, people are unbearable, and they will not change their pleasures......"

Hearing his wife say this, Hong Lucheng also sighed.

"What your mother said is that although this place is good, it doesn't have the human touch of Furuli. Don't talk about her, I can't even bear that tavern, it's inconvenient to move over. Hey, people, a good life is not about material enjoyment, the key is about heart. And this is where the third uncle lives, and we have to be here every day, so we can't avoid thinking about it. Third, don't feel that your efforts have been wasted and unhappy, in fact, we are very moved, and we will never admit your affection. ”

As soon as he said this, Hong Yanwu understood, and in order not to misunderstand his parents, he hurriedly explained.

"Dad, Mom, look at what you said? Am I still a child? I know that you are afraid of the embarrassment of touching the scene, and I also know that you are reluctant to give up on your old neighbors in Furuli. If you don't move, don't move, as long as you're happy, of course you can do anything, but in that case, I'll be of other use for this house. ”

Seeing that his parents were surprised, Hong Yanwu continued to talk eloquently.

"For nothing else, the main reason is that this kind of house is different from ordinary houses. Now that we've got it, we have to take the money and continue to 'raise' it. You can't just leave it empty, that's ruined. Even if you don't usually live with people, you have to hire one or two people to watch the door, pick up flowers and plants, and then clean the house. ”

"Secondly, I also bought a batch of art works in January this year, all of which won awards in art exhibitions, and I am worried that I don't have a suitable place to put them. This house is suitable for me, Western style, both sculpture and oil painting are harmonious. I'll have peace of mind here. ”

"What's more, my second brother's work is now engaged in united front, and there are many things in communication and scenes, and those overseas people are inevitably not snobbish. With this place, it's very convenient for him to hold a cocktail party, a party or something. ”

Besides, the place where he lives is surrounded by officials, and although the house is not small, every move is restricted. So I pondered, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. If you don't want to live, don't sit idle. Simply, let the second brother's family move over. This not only does not spoil the house, but also improves their quality of life. ”

"The only thing I'm worried about is that my second brother has any concerns. One is that he has to worry about me in terms of money, and I really don't have much to pay for this house every month, but he is afraid that he is embarrassed. Second, if you don't come, he lives here by himself, and he is a bit arrogant, so I need you to persuade him to accept it......"

It should be said that Hong Yanwu's brain is indeed extraordinary.

As soon as this idea was mentioned, Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin couldn't help but be surprised.

But if you think about it, it makes sense.

So they all laughed.

It's just that Wang Yunlin still has a concern.

"It's good that you think about this, but such a good house, if you let the second brother come to live, will Shui Qing think too much?"

Hong Yanwu immediately assured,

"No, no, she's in favor of this, we've already discussed it. Truth be told, we love Furuli too. It's the same idea as you and Dad. ”

The old man couldn't help but sigh with surprise.

"It turns out that you have bought so many works of art, it seems that it is easier for you to make money than drinking tap water. ”

And then he even raised a question.

“…… It's just that Yanwen is a cadre after all, and living here will not attract criticism. In addition to economic matters, the key question is whether there will be people talking about bourgeois habits?"

Hong Yanwu shook his head firmly. "No, my second brother pays the most attention to money, and I have already made it clear to him. Our family is not short of money, and it is not a big deal to subsidize official affairs with our own money, but we are at ease and do not provoke suspicion. ”

"To put it bluntly, we are a public mind and can prove that we can clear up economic issues. As for ideology, your concerns are valid, but I have a solution. ”

"Because many of the works of art I bought depict leaders, praise reform and opening up, and have positive political significance, and being placed here is itself a kind of statement, and who can criticize it? Not to mention that the second brother's circle itself is a democrat, so there will be no problem. ”

But that's not all, and then he brings up an even more touching question.

"Speaking of which, I have one more thing I think I can do. You see that now the policy has been stabilized, and the second brother has this job convenience. If you don't have any concerns about policy changes, then can we try to find the uncle?"

Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin were silent again, they didn't expect Hong Yanwu to even think of these.

Thinking so thoughtfully and meticulously, he is really a son with a cool head and a mature temperament, and he can completely rely on them.

After a long time, Hong Lucheng sighed with emotion, and finally revealed his true feelings and said the words that had been suppressed in his heart.

"Third child, I didn't expect you to become so good. Assertive, characterful, light on money, and affectionate. ”

"I think that in the future, I am afraid that the affairs of the family will have to be borne by you. Your brothers and sisters will depend on you to take care of them. ”

"In the past, I treated you a little harshly, I shouldn't have treated you well, I shouldn't have ...... you"

At this point, Hong Yanwu didn't allow his father to say anything more.

The old man is excited, and he will be sure to say more.

He hurriedly interrupted and comforted him.

"Dad, look at what you said. My life is all given by you and my mother, don't think so about me. Actually, I don't understand anything, I'm an adult, and I know you're doing it for my good. It's like a Japanese movie called "The Story of the Fox", in which the little foxes will be bitten out by their mothers when they grow up, and let them grind their own lives, looking cruel and biting pain, but in fact, they love ......"
