The villas at Peninsula Garden are small two-storey bungalows with a Western-style structure. The houses here are different from other villas, not only far away from the downtown area, beautiful environment, surrounded by mountains and rivers, but also each house is separated, and a large yard of 50 square meters is given in front of the house, which is also the main reason why Chen Qi only liked this real estate at the beginning. He was born in the 50s and grew up in the 70s, although he received a higher education at that time and stayed abroad, but he had a heart to return to the rural life.

As soon as you enter the courtyard of the villa, you can see a large field of grape vines on the right hand, and next to the grapevines stands a small mushroom pavilion, next to which are placed 4 small stone benches, and the ground is paved with neat marble. In the summer, it is really fast to sit under the mushroom pavilion and enjoy the coolness, away from the sound of the city whistle. On the other side, it's a sight: if the mushroom pavilion under the vines is elegant, the vegetable patch on this side is austere. It's a neatly cleaned patch, the vegetable patch is fenced off, and the entrance to the entrance is made with a very beautiful fence made of practicality. Now there are fiery roses planted in the ground, and the most wonderful thing is that the roses are surrounded by all kinds of greens, and the red and green colors are very beautiful in the spring breeze. Before this, this unique planting method of having both flowers and vegetables in a garden, Chen Baozhu and Lei Zhensheng were also seen for the first time.

Chen Baozhu once asked Wang Menglian curiously: Why do you plant like this, under normal circumstances, either you plant flowers or vegetables. Wang Menglian said: "I like red roses, Lao Chen likes to grow vegetables, so he left the best seat in the middle of the garden for me to plant flowers, and the remaining seats next to me were all planted vegetables, because he wanted to put me in the most important position, and then planted some green vegetables for me to set off, saying that it was green leaves with red flowers." ”

At that time, Chen Baozhu was very moved when she heard Wang Menglian's words.

The courtyard of the villa is in a rustic style, and the exterior structure of the villa is Western-style. Standing next to the mushroom pavilion and looking up, you can see that the top of the head is a pointed double arch roof, wood carved veneer, khaki color painting, decorated with golden peony flower pattern, there are two tall pillars standing at the door, the pillar is also engraved with peony flower pattern, the overall appearance is very atmospheric.

And into the hall you can immediately feel the strong Chinese style, the façade is all made of red solid wood, even the sofa is made of red solid wood, each seat on the sofa is placed with a cushion painted with ancient Chinese paintings, it looks very elegant and warm, the stairs are also dark red mahogany, the wall hangs a few pairs of thin gold calligraphy of Song Huizong of the Song Dynasty with Lei Zhensheng's home, the payment is also written by Chen Qi, the pen is fluttering and fast, the handwriting is thin, to thin without losing its flesh, the turning point can be clearly seen Zang Feng, Lu Feng and other traces of Teton, quite the charm of Song Huizong Zhao Ji, it can be seen that Chen Qi is a calligraphy enthusiastThe tone of the decoration of the whole house is both simple and elegant.

It is said that Lei Zhensheng walked into the hall of the villa and looked around, and found that the dean Chen Qi was not in the living room, so he asked curiously: "Eh, why is the teacher not at home?"

Wang Menglian pointed to a room on the right hand side of the door, and replied with a smile: "No, he is writing in the study!" After speaking, she said to the nanny who was busy preparing tea for the guests: "Sister Wu, you go and call Mr. out, just say that the guests are here." ”

Before the nanny Sister Wu could respond, Lei Zhensheng hurriedly stopped: "Eh, Sister Wu, you are busy with yours, you don't need to call." ”

"Master, I'll just go in and say hello to the teacher by myself, where can the teacher come out to greet us!" Lei Zhensheng added with a smile, and said to Chen Baozhu, who was standing aside in a daze, "You can help my wife here, I'll go to the study to find the teacher." ”

Before Chen Baozhu could respond, Lei Zhensheng had already walked towards the study.

Chen Baozhu still responded in a whisper: "Oh"

After Lei Zhensheng left, Wang Menglian hurriedly beckoned Chen Baozhu to sit down on the sofa, and on the coffee table, the nanny Sister Wu had already served the fruits and tea that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Secretary Chen, please drink tea!" said the nanny Sister Wu warmly.

"Oh, thank you, Sister Wu. Chen Baozhu replied weakly.

Wang Menglian is a very careful person, she quickly noticed Chen Baozhu's abnormality, and sent away: "Oh, Sister Wu, you don't need to be busy here, you go to the kitchen to prepare lunch first, and you can wait for me to cook the roast goose." ”

When the nanny Sister Wu heard the hostess's words, she immediately stopped what she was doing and replied, "Well, okay." ”

After saying that, the nanny Sister Wu also went back to the kitchen with familiarity.

After sending away the nanny, Wang Menglian moved to sit next to Chen Baozhu from the other side, and asked Chen Baozhu, who had been absent-minded since she entered the door: "Baozhu, why is the school very busy lately? I haven't seen you come to play at home for a long time." ”

"It's fine. Chen Baozhu whispered perfunctorily, and after speaking, Chen Baozhu sat on the sofa with his head down and stopped talking.

Although Wang Menglian and Chen Baozhu are separated by a generation, Wang Menglian's actual age is only 4 years older than Chen Baozhu, and Chen Baozhu's father Chen Shanfeng used to be her university teacher. The husbands of the two are also in a master-apprentice relationship, so they are also very close in private, emotionally, the two of them are more like a pair of sisters, Wang Menglian also knows the character of this sister, she is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, outsiders look at her as a strong and strong woman, in fact, she is as weak as a girl in her heart.

Recently, Wang Menglian has been busy with work because of the major reform of the national medical insurance system, and she has some troubles at home, so she hasn't chatted with her good sisters for a long time. Chen Baozhu, who has been absent today, Wang Menglian can obviously feel her displeasure, and she also knows that Chen Baozhu's displeasure is likely not from work, but from her husband's good apprentice Lei Zhensheng. So just now she deliberately took away the nanny, and now there is no one else, so she asked with concern: "Baozhu, what's wrong?" ”

Now people of Chen Baozhu's age can find few friends to really talk to among colleagues, plus Lei Zhensheng and himself are already in the same large system unit, and the actual situation is very complicated, and it is not easy to say a lot to outsiders. As other classmates and friends get older, there are even fewer topics to talk about, and now only Wang Menglian, a senior sister who is higher than herself and has a special identity, can say a few intimate words.

Originally, Chen Baozhu came here today to pour bitter water on Wang Menglian, but when Wang Menglian asked, Chen Baozhu raised his head, looked at Wang Baozhu with melancholy eyes, and said sadly: "Senior sister, how can you say that I can be in a good mood!"
