Guyan Town, a tourist characteristic town under the direct jurisdiction of Chuzhou City, is only 23 kilometers away from the downtown, between the middle of the city to Yunxian County.

Famous for the "name of the painting township", there is an antique pedestrian street in the middle of the town, flanked by old houses made of local wood, which is old and charming, so it has been developed into a gallery by the Municipal Tourism Committee.

Nowadays, on both sides of the pedestrian street, there are all oil painting studios, so every year students who come here to sketch and learn painting, whether they are in primary or secondary schools, plus the scenery here is beautiful, after passing through the small alleys of the pedestrian street, there is a quiet flow, the water quality is clear Oujiang River, so the tourists who come here to travel the environment, the flow of people is also increasing every year.

Huang Shouzhen vaguely remembers that in the first half of his senior year, in order to sprint for the provincial art joint examination, he also came here for a period of time under the leadership of his high school art teacher.

However, in my real memory, it was more than ten years ago, and the picture has long been blurred, but if you count it according to the age of this body, it is actually only the winter of the year before last.

On Tuesday, after Huang Shouzhen arrived in Chuzhou early in the morning, he met with Chen Qinghe first, and then transferred to the latter's van and rushed to Guyan Town together.

Although it is only more than 20 kilometers away from his county seat, Huang Shouzhen has only been here once from beginning to end, and today is the second time.

When he met the town again after a long absence, Huang Shouzhen, who was sitting in the van and could only look at the appearance of the town through the car window, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Sure enough, after meeting, you will find that it is exactly the same as what I have seen before!" Huang Shouzhen sighed silently.

Although the town has begun to take shape as a tourist attraction, compared with ten years later, the hardware facilities and service conditions here are still too far behind.

Because at present, there are no good resort hotels in Guyan Town, nor are there any boutique hotels, let alone any high-quality restaurants

Therefore, people who come here to play now, whether they are tourists or students sketching, can only stay in hotels and inns that are renovated by locals with self-built houses.

Although the price is very affordable, the quality of service is unimaginably poor.

"Xiao Zhen, see the bungalow in front of you, that's my brother-in-law's new home!" Chen Qinghe reminded with a smile as he drove to the area where local residents lived in Guyan Town.

After Huang Shouzhen heard the sound, he followed the direction of the other party's finger and saw patches of flat farmland next to the highway, and behind the red fields, there were rows of small bungalows arranged very neatly.

The architectural shape of these small bungalows is basically the same, and they are all the same, front and back two rooms, which are exactly the same as his home in the county, and have the local rural architectural characteristics of Chuzhou City.

However, for Huang Shouzhen, this type of house is practical, but he definitely doesn't like it very much.

Because although this kind of building also has load-bearing columns and beams poured with reinforced concrete, the house itself is more used to bear the load with red brick walls, so once the house is completed, the spatial pattern is dead, and it can no longer be like the frame structure of the house, you can play the imagination space at will, and make the house into a variety of enjoyment and convenient suites.

In short, this kind of house that has always been there, let the best interior designer come, in addition to being able to exert some imagination in a fixed space, it will not change anything, which has almost nothing to do with the level of design.

"Lao Chen, it seems that your brother-in-law's house is very generous, and he actually built two straights directly, and they are both four and a half floors. After Huang Shouzhen saw the house clearly, he joked with a smile.

In this era, it is still very profitable to be a driving school instructor, unlike a few years later, when there are various bans above, instructors will not be able to make money so blatantly.

When Chen Qinghe heard Huang Shouzhen say this, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and hurriedly said modestly for his brother-in-law: "Xiaozhen, how can it be so exaggerated as you say, no, after my brother-in-law finished building the house, now he can only decorate the house casually in the simplest way." ”

Huang Shouzhen heard what the other party said, smiled, and didn't say anything more.

As the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, most rural people, but anyone with a little money, is afraid of being known to have money, for fear of being jealous, Huang Shouzhen is very clear about this kind of psychology.

So Chen Qinghe's thoughts at the moment, of course he understands.

Subsequently, the two came to the latter's brother-in-law's house, Huang Shouzhen first greeted their family with their family, and after drinking tea, they took a look around their new house as a whole, and by the way, they learned about the most basic decoration needs of their house with Chen Qinghe's brother-in-law Lan Lingfei himself, and finally measured the space size of the house.

For this kind of house, the advantage of measuring the house is that in addition to the two more outdoor balconies on the top floor, the layout of each floor is exactly the same, with two rooms in the front and a stairwell and a bathroom in the back, so Huang Shouzhen only needs to measure the size of the first floor and the top floor.

"Uncle Lan, I've already seen the house, and I have all the sizes now, when I go back, I will drive out your family's plan tonight, and then send it to Uncle Chen, and then he will let people build according to the drawings I provided, you can rest assured." ”

When Lan Lingfei heard Huang Shouzhen say this, his bloated and greasy face was immediately full of smiles and thanked him, looking very friendly.

However, when Huang Shouzhen heard his hoarse voice, he knew that this guy was by no means a good person, and it was very likely that he was an irritable uncle, after all, the driving school instructor in Chuzhou City was famous for his "simple folk customs".

Of course, the advantage is that in such a strict education mode, I heard that as long as you successfully get a driver's license, you can basically go directly to the road as soon as you come out, and you are quite familiar with driving skills.

After talking about things, it was not early, Huang Shouzhen, Chen Qinghe and others went to a farmhouse in the town and had lunch under Lan Lingfei's arrangement.

Huang Shouzhen likes to eat this kind of local restaurant dish, because the cooking method is simple, the seasoning is very small, and the taste is naturally very simple, which is the taste of the local people who have eaten it for generations, and it is also a timeless taste that can be rooted in people's bones.

And after lunch, Huang Shouzhen and Chen Qinghe naturally had to say goodbye and go back, after all, they were very busy.

However, before parting, Lan Lingfei took out a red envelope and thanked Huang Shouzhen, which was obviously prepared in advance by Chen Qinghe through a conversation with the former.

Huang Shouzhen saw this scene, but he didn't hesitate, he directly refused with a smile, and replied: "Uncle Lan, you don't need to give the red envelope, my little favor is nothing, and although I helped you, I just want to get a driver's license this summer, and I have to ask you for help then." ”

Lan Lingfei was stunned when he heard the other party say this, and then immediately reacted, and said with a smile: "Xiaozhen, you want to take a driver's license test in the summer vacation? No problem, no problem, you can call me a little earlier when you arrive, and I will arrange it for you!"

When Huang Shouzhen heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and replied, "That's great, then it will be troublesome for Uncle Lan then." ”

Lan Lingfei smiled and waved his hand, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"
