The renovation project of Li's old courtyard on Lushan Road started in an orderly manner the next day.
According to Tang Qing's arrangement, Caitou Toutou is the general manager, Carpenter Wang is the assistant, and the contractor is responsible for the construction personnel and equipment.
Tang Qing herself was not busy at the scene; her parents and father-in-law were sent over to boil water for cooking.
The three old people went to the vegetable market every morning to purchase ingredients, and then went directly to the Li family's old yard on Lushan Road to work happily and comfortably. Because without Li Ya, their money was wasted.
Li Ya was also very happy and comfortable because her wish was finally coming true.
Renovating the old courtyard of Li's family on Lushan Road is not only to prevent it from falling into disrepair and collapse, but also to completely untie the knot in Li Ya's heart.
This knot in my mind is whether there is any treasure in Li’s old courtyard on Lushan Road? Is it tangible or intangible? It will be clear after renovation.
Tang Qing understood that although Li Ya was relieved about the treasure her father cherished, she had not given up completely. So after Li Ya recovered 350,000 yuan for the three elderly people, she decided to help Li Ya renovate Lushan Road.
The old yard of the house.
Some time ago, Tang Qing learned that Li Ya was looking for a construction company to renovate the old house through the contractor, but she had not been able to do so.
First of all, the original decoration company was a swindler, so Tang Qing sent him to eat steamed buns at midnight.
Secondly, there is not much money to be made from renovating an old house like Li’s old courtyard on Lushan Road. The technical skills are high and the risks are high, so no one is willing to take over.
Tang Qing had heard his grandfather talk about some famous craftsmen in Yancheng before, who was the best in masonry work, who was first in carpentry work, etc.
I remember that the seniors of Cai Jiao Tou Tou were all well-known masons in Shan City. Maybe the Li family’s old courtyard on Lushan Road was built by their family. Tang Qing found Cai Jiao Tou Tou and asked, and it turned out that it was built by his family. Cai Jiao Tou Tou himself built it.
Also participated in renovations.
So Tang Qing asked Caitou Toutou to help renovate the Li family's old yard on Lushan Road.
At first, Caitou Toutou refused firmly, saying that he was old and that he could not make money was the second priority, but that it was not good to ruin the brand of his ancestors.
Tang Qing finally said that she originally did not want to participate in the renovation of the Li family's old yard on Lushan Road, but this time Li Ya helped recover the life-saving money of the elderly, and she had to repay it no matter what. There was a risk, and she took it. She couldn't make any money.
, she went out privately.
Caitou Toutou was moved by Tang Qing's sincerity and finally agreed to go out to help.
With all the resources and skills, there are no problems with this part of the project. However, the renovation of old houses in the city requires approval, and the procedure is not simple. Tang Qing is ready to help Li Ya by herself. Director Liu and Police Officer Xiao Wang volunteered and are willing to help Li Ya go to the relevant matters.
The department handles the formalities.
Director Liu and police officer Xiao Wang stepped in and the renovation procedures were completed on the same day.
After the ceremony, Tang Qing left the Li family's old yard on Lushan Road and headed to the Li family's old house in Lutei Mountain.
According to the old rules of Yancheng, whether you are building a new house, renovating an old house, or moving into a new home, you must perform certain sacrificial rituals to respect the land's father-in-law and mother-in-law, respect your ancestors, and tell them that they want to break ground and live in a new house.
They bless and hope they are happy for themselves.
Ever since Li Li left the key to the Li family's old house in Lutei Mountain at the People's Barber Shop, Tang Qing has been making a trip to the Li family's old house every morning and evening. If something special happens, the time will only be delayed a little.
When entering the Li family's old house, the first thing Tang Qing did was to boil water, make a pot of tea for Mr. Li, a cup of coffee for Li Li, and then clean the old house.
In the past, when cleaning the old house, Tang Qing only cleaned the front yard and kitchen, the living room in the middle yard, the back yard and Li Li's room. Today she decided to do a full cleaning because Li Ya didn't mention a word about Li Li when she returned to Shancheng.
Li Ya didn't say a word about Li Li, which meant that the sisters must have met and reached a tacit agreement not to mention Li Li in front of Tang Qing.
Tang Qing didn't understand why Li Li had to leave Yancheng? She also said she would never come back.
Alas, every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite, and everyone has a heart that cannot be touched by outsiders. Li Li must have had her own considerations when she did that.
Tang Qing didn't want to delve too much into it, and she didn't want to go to Li Ya's place to ask for the truth. It was just that she didn't really believe that Li Li would never come back after leaving Shancheng, but now she believed it, and believed that Li Li was really possible.
Never return to Shancheng.
Since it is really possible that Li Li will never return to Yancheng, then Tang Qing must take good care of the Li family's old residence, for both Mr. Li and Li Li.
Li Ya's heart is in the old courtyard of the Li family on Lushan Road. She has no feelings for the old house of the Li family on Lutei Mountain. Instead, she is a little afraid, an inexplicable fear. Li Ya and Tang Qing had a heart-to-heart talk about this, and Tang Qing also believed that Li Ya
What Ya said is true.
Perhaps Aunt Li was also thinking about the old courtyard of the Li family on Lushan Road, rather than the old house of the Li family on Lutei Mountain.
The Li family's old house may have brought fear to Aunt Li, which is why she left so quickly in depression.
Today Tang Qing brought the large blue and white porcelain teapot left by the old dragon head, and she wanted it to be returned to its original owner.
Opening Aunt Li's room with one of the keys left by Li Li, a scent of jasmine filled her nostrils.
Tang Qing stood at the door and closed his eyes. He was intoxicated for a while before opening his eyes.
When Tang Qing opened his eyes and looked around Aunt Li's bedroom, his whole heart suddenly calmed down, and his body felt as clear and translucent as if it had been washed by mountain spring water.
Aunt Li's bedroom is clean and elegant, with not many beddings and not luxurious. There is a mahogany bed in the middle with a lightly covered curtain, a beauty couch by the window with a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes, and the dressing table is filled with various oil paints and eyebrow pencils.
, rouge and other cosmetics. A long open wardrobe is full of costumes of all kinds, full of stories.
In the faint fragrance of jasmine flowers, Tang Qing lightly brushed the dust with her hands and feet, not daring to make any noise for fear of disturbing Aunt Li.
"The bright moonlight,
Quietly shining on the west wing,
In the embroidery building in the west wing,
There lived Yingying girl Hongzhuang.
The beautiful lady misses her dearly,
I miss Zhang Lang every night,
Holding the ballad harp in hand and remembering the music from the heart,
Mountains and flowing water appeal to the heart.
It's hard to meet people who are in love,
When I miss you, I hate the long nights,
ah……
A bright moon shines on the west wing.
ah……
Leave a love song to spread all over the world.
I wish all lovers in the world can get married,
I wish all the lovers in the world a long and lasting life!"
The song "The Romance of the West Chamber" faintly floated in Tang Qing's ears, but for some reason, it was not a Shaoxing opera, but a Errenzhuan, a Errenzhuan she had just heard on the radio a few days ago.
"Hehe, things have gone wrong during this period, and my thoughts have also gone wrong!"
Tang Qing gave a wry smile, quietly exited Aunt Li's room, closed the door, and walked to Master Li's room next door.
Tang Qing was familiar with Master Li's room. When Master Li could not get out of bed, Tang Qing came with his father and shaved Master Li's head. Before Master Li left, Tang Qing shaved his vagina. Later, he came in with Li Li to look for relevant relics.
.
The furnishings in the room have not changed, what has changed is the person's state of mind.
Things are different and people are not the same. Everything stops. If you want to speak, you will shed tears first.
Tang Qing stared at the portrait of his grandfather hanging high in Mr. Li's bedroom and couldn't help but shed tears.
Grandpa, it has been eight years since you left me.
After half a month of drinking my wedding banquet, you and grandma left us on the same day.
On the morning of your departure, you said you were leaving and wanted to eat a bowl of handmade soup dumplings, and grandma and mother made them for you together.
After eating, you called me in front of me and told me not to cry after you go, because it is not easy to live a perfect life.
You didn't get up after going to bed during the lunch break. You were fully dressed and didn't need future generations to do anything for you. Grandma burned a pot of paper money for you, sat in front of your body and closed your eyes before leaving. There's no need for us future generations to do anything.
People in Yancheng said that such an old man is probably second to none in the world.
Tang Qing flicked the portrait with a duster in his hand, feeling sad in his heart. He accidentally picked up the portrait and dropped it to the ground.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Grandpa!"
Tang Qing hurriedly picked up the portrait from the ground and hung it back to its original place.
"Hey, why is there a small hole here?"
Tang Qing looked closely at the wall behind the portrait, stretched out his hand to press the small hole, and unexpectedly discovered a shocking secret.
