"Master, long time no see. Old lady, you are auspicious. After a while, Shi led Lei Lao Er in, and Lei Lao Er was followed by a young man about twenty years old.

After coming in, Lei Lao Er saw Jiang Yan sitting under the grapevine and said hello to Grandma Lu.

Jiang Yan is a very famous person in this courtyard now, he is not only an SL student, but also the chief engineer in the rolling mill, and there is a person working in the rolling mill in his yard, who greatly respects Jiang Yan.

It is impossible for the well-informed Lei Lao Er not to know that he once thought of coming over to visit Jiang Yan, but he didn't have a good excuse to give up.

Now that Jiang Yan is looking for himself, he will come over without being a fart.

Jiang Yan looked at Lei Lao Er from the moment he entered the door, compared with five years ago, Lei Lao Er was a lot older, and his originally straight waist was a little bent! There are also some patches on the clothes on his body, and it seems that he has had a hard time in the past few years.

"It's been a long time since I saw Uncle Lei, didn't I tell you, don't call me master, now it's a new society, either call me Xiao Jiang, or call me Comrade Jiang Yan."

After listening to Jiang Yan's words, Lei Lao Er opened his mouth and said, "Then let's call you Comrade Jiang!" ”

"Sui Ling, Uncle Lei, the little brother behind you won't introduce me to anyone."

"Oooh! You see that I am happy and confused when I see you, this is my eldest brother's child Lei Yuanchao, and now follow me. ”

Hearing that his second uncle introduced him, the kid said hello to Jiang Yan very shyly.

"That's Uncle Lei, I want to repair my door again."

The small door of Jiang Yan's small courtyard is equivalent to the side door of a quadrangle, which is relatively small, and it is a bit difficult to push the "nephew" in.

It just so happened that He Yuzhu and they were decorating the house, so they wanted to expand the door of their house.

Now I have a "nephew", which is not even waiting for my level to go up, and I can also match the car, so I always have to take precautions.

"I don't know how this gate will be repaired, whether it will be expanded on the basis of the side gate or whether it will be made into a new gate."

Lei Lao Er looked at Jiang Yan and asked.

After listening to Lei Laoer's words, Jiang Yan thought about it and said to him: "Just make it a main gate!" However, the gate should be wide, and I will be given a ramp to make it easier for vehicles to enter. Leave me a place on the right side of the gate so that I can park my "nephew".

"It's simple, no problem, it's only a matter of a few days, but what kind of door are we installing?"

"This installation gate is still exquisite." Jiang Yan asked a little curiously.

"That's not it."

"Uncle Lei sit down, why is the stone so eyeless, hurry up and pour tea for Uncle Lei."

Jiang Yan turned his head and ordered the stone sitting beside him.

Wait for Lei's second uncle and nephew to sit down. Jiang Yan spoke again: "Uncle Lei, this is the matter. Can you tell me about it for a long time?"

"Absolutely."

After saying this, Lei Lao Er took a sip of the tea made from the stone and then said, "Let's talk about this courtyard first." ”

"Some time ago, to build a courtyard, we Sijiucheng people taboo the ground in the house is lower than the ground of the alley and the street, the reason is that as soon as you enter the door, you have to "toad pit", and go out from low to high, like climbing a mountain, obviously inauspicious, so to build a courtyard, the foundation should be higher than the ground, and the pillar base should be strong. ”

The gate of the courtyard is also very exquisite, it is the façade of the owner, and it is a symbol of the family's status. In the past, there was a popular saying: "The higher the threshold, the more difficult it is to enter." "It's the gate of our Sijiu City Quadrangle."

"The gates of our Sijiucheng courtyard are divided into six types according to the style."

After Lei Lao Er said this, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, seeing that Jiang Yan and they were listening carefully, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes, he put down the water cup and cleared his throat before speaking.

The first is called Guangliang Gate, "Guangliang", as the name suggests, spacious, bright meaning. When it comes to the level of "gate", in addition to the palace gate and the palace gate, it must belong to the Guangliang gate. One of the most striking signs of the Guangliang Gate is that the door opens in the center of the courtyard gate, and the whole corridor looks like a room. ”

"Excuse me, please get a pen and paper."

Hearing Lei Laoer's words, Jiang Yan motioned for a stone, and the stone turned back to the house and brought paper and pens.

After Lei Lao Er took the paper and pen, he drew the appearance of the Guangliang Gate on the paper.

Then the second Lei introduced the Golden Pillar Gate, the "Barbarian Gate", the Ruyi Gate, the Walled Gate and the Western-style Gate.

This Lei Lao Er drew this style of door when he introduced each style of door.

I have to say that this Lei Er's painting work is very solid, especially focusing on realism, looking at his paintings is like seeing the real door.

After listening to Lei Er's introduction, Jiang Yan sighed in his heart: "The people in these four nine cities are really exquisite. ”

Jiang Yan remembered that in his previous life, others said on the Internet: "In the life of the people of Lao Sijiucheng, there are many etiquettes and exquisiteness. Dress to wear time-honored brands, eat to see old craftsmanship, housing to talk about the north and south courtyards, and meet acquaintances on the road to shout "you". ”

Many people say that these old Sijiucheng people are poor and exquisite, but in Jiang Yan's opinion, it is better to say that they understand the rules and have a bottom line than that they are exquisite.

Perhaps with the passage of time, the long history of Sijiu City precipitation and these rules are still making waves in the hearts of Sijiu City people, with the development of still maintaining this kind of exquisite taste to be yourself, not forgetting the original intention, and this kind of exquisite culture has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Sijiu City people.

Seeing these different gates, Jiang Yan is a little difficult to choose, to say something from the heart, if this is placed in the future generations, he can definitely choose the Guangliang gate, this gate looks magnificent, and the meaning is good.

But when you think about it, ten years later will be the storm period, if you meet a knowledgeable person to see the door of your home, it is estimated that it will cause a little wave, and it is better to keep a low profile yourself.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan directly said to Lei Lao Er, "Uncle Lei, you are more experienced in doing this." You see which kind of gate I install. It's better to keep a low profile. ”

Lei Lao Er instantly understood Jiang Yan's meaning, thought about it for about ten seconds, and said directly: "Our gate is a gate that opens from the wall, and it is not all due southeast, I feel that it is good to install a Ruyi door." ”

"Ruyi Gate" Hearing Lei Laoer's words, Jiang Yan glanced at the drawings of Ruyi Gate drawn by Lei Lao Er.

Jiang Yan knew that almost all of the gates in the alleys were of this style. Build one yourself and it's not conspicuous, that's it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan said directly to Lei Lao Er: "Uncle Lei, you have experience in this regard, that's it." ”

After Lei Lao Er left, Jiang Yan ate a bowl of fried noodles made by He Yuzhu, said hello to his grandmother and returned to his house.

I went back to my space and took a shower, and when I came out, I changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
