"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
There are showers today, not too heavy, and it keeps teasing the passers-by on the ground, adding a touch of coolness to the sultry summer.
It's afternoon.
Gong Xue left the crew early, hurriedly went to buy groceries, and then headed to Lechunfang.
She wore a pink hooded raincoat and red rain boots, and rode a delicate women's bicycle. There was a basket in the front of the bicycle, filled with vegetables and fruits she had just bought.
Where are the plastic bags nowadays? When buying vegetables, use baskets or baskets, buy tofu in your own basin, buy meat in paper bags, buy fish with a straw rope, buy fruit in a net bag...
After riding for a while, she stopped.
It felt like the food on top was about to fall off. Even if it was stuffed inside, it would still fall off. So I had to lean forward, holding the handlebar with one hand and supporting the front with the other.
After riding for a while, I saw that I was almost to Lechunfang. I felt happy and accelerated my speed. As a result, there was a noise of tires grinding on the road and splashing water, followed by a sound:
"beep--"
The loud bus horn suddenly sounded, and she was startled, tilted her body, and fell down with a bang.
"Ouch!"
She grinned in pain, and then moved around after a while. She felt that nothing was wrong. She got up and helped the car, and picked up the scattered vegetables. At first glance, they were all covered with mud, and some were rotten.
"What a pity, they are all fresh vegetables."
Gong Xue felt sorry for the waste, so she got on the car and set off again. Fortunately, it was not far away.
After entering Lechunfang, Chen Qi was waiting in the alley. He took her to Courtyard No. 6. She was a little afraid to recognize it for a while. She hadn't been here for a while, and she had never seen a fully decorated courtyard. The old door before
The wooden door has been demolished and replaced by a brand new gatehouse.
It has three levels of steps, double-open vermilion door panels, and a bright and bright door with five purlins and four rafters, which is very grand.
"Come on, let me take you for a spin first!"
The two of them went in and faced a screen wall with patterns of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums carved on the wall. There was a large water tank underneath, and there was a moon door on the right side, which was a utility room.
Gong Xue has seen Siheyuan, and so far, everything is quite consistent with the style of traditional Siheyuan.
But when you turn left, it's different.
The front yard of a traditional courtyard house is very small, with only a row of inverted rooms and a hanging flower door. However, Chen Qi did not build a hanging flower door at all. He was not very fond of the traditional style and felt it was a waste of space.
He made two complete yards, one behind the other.
So there were three reverse rooms in the front yard, all with large bright glass windows. Tables and chairs had been set up inside. It looked transparent and decent. He said: "This is the office of the magazine. It can accommodate more than a dozen people."
.”
Then there are two rooms on the left, two rooms on the right, plus a separate kitchen. There are still a few places that have not been installed, but they will be completely completed in the fall.
"This is a staff dormitory. Each room can accommodate four people. Let's live in two people for now. It is spacious and spacious."
The main house in the front yard consists of three large rooms, plus two wing rooms.
"Of these three rooms, one is Lao Liang and I's office, one is Lao Liang's dormitory, and the other is his living room, which can also be regarded as a reception room."
"Hey! This house is better than Lao Liang's Tongzilou. He must be satisfied."
Gong Xue looked at it with great interest, praised it sincerely, and said: "Huh? There is no door here, so you can't enter the backyard?"
"I told you to keep your private space. Can you just enter the backyard? Come with me!"
Chen Qi pulled her out, walked to the right, walked around the penthouse, passed through a narrow passage, and a door. When she pushed it open, the backyard was revealed.
"This door is locked from the inside, and this is my territory."
The layout of the backyard is similar, with two rooms on the left and right with a small kitchen. The difference is that the main house is built with one and a half floors, a loft and a terrace. The terrace opens inward, but when viewed from the front yard, it is just blocked by the main house in the front yard.
The roof is blocked and the view cannot pass through.
Who cares about illegal construction these days? No one will care about it decades later. Even decades later, there are still two-story courtyard houses in the second ring road of Beijing. The owners are either rich or noble. This thing relies on connections.
Chen Qi pulled her upstairs. Because the back faced the street, the windows were not opened wide, but it was enough.
He swiped open the curtain and said with a smile, "Look!"
Gong Xue poked her head over and immediately opened her eyes: "Shichahai?!"
"This is called a sea view room, how about it?"
"I never expected that your house would be so beautifully decorated. How many rooms are there in total?"
"More than twenty, the utilization rate of traditional courtyards is too low. This one is great, beautiful and practical. This courtyard is 800 square meters, and the courtyard area is enough. I plan to plant a pomegranate tree first."
"Well, it would be nice to plant trees. I think there is a small gate in the backyard?"
"Yes! You can go in and out directly without going to the front yard."
Gong Xue, like Yu Xiuli, also liked it very much. Chen Qi showed her the large painting table in the left room of the backyard and said: "This is the study and library. Look at this table."
"Wow!"
Gong Xue went straight to the big painting table, her eyes sparkling, and she touched it up and down and said: "This is, this is..."
"I bought this for you, do you like it?"
"Yeah, yeah! You know what my home is like. When I was a child, I had to lie on a stool when I was learning to draw. I have always wanted to have a spacious place to draw. Such a big table is enough for several people."
She was so happy that she turned around and hugged Chen Qi's neck.
The two of them were making out, and when they moved a little too loudly, she suddenly let out an ouch.
"What's wrong?"
"My legs hurt a little. I fell down when I came here."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Let me take a look!"
Chen Qi asked her to sit on the Luohan bed. He lifted up his trouser leg and saw that there was an obvious bruise. It was obviously pressed by the bicycle. He asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"
"It's nothing. Did you forget that I walked dozens of miles a day to train with the troops?"
Gong Xue touched the area, put down his trouser legs nonchalantly, and said with a smile: "It's almost time, get ready to cook, they will be here soon."
…………
The rain stopped again.
After one o'clock in the evening, Liang Xiaosheng and Jiao Dan, Li Lianlian and Ji Chunhua arrived on a bicycle respectively.
After looking at the yard, he was naturally yelling. Ji Chunhua was used to being rough and had no big emotions. Li Lianlian was very envious, Liang Xiaosheng was particularly satisfied, and Chen Qi gave himself enough respect as the editor-in-chief.
Brothers belong to brothers, benefits belong to benefits, they must be accounted for.
Jiao Dan was even more satisfied. There were too many people in the Tongzi Building of the Beijing Film Studio, and the corridors were crowded. How great it was here. They could form a unified system behind closed doors. Lao Liang was still a leader.
Gong Xue and Jiao Dan cooked a table of food for the six of them to eat and drink.
The topic of Chen Qi's trip to Hong Kong inevitably came up during the dinner, but he didn't want to talk about it, so he quoted the content to the magazine and said: "Taking this opportunity, we just decided on a name. What do you think it should be called?"
"What about the starting point? It means the starting point of magazines and the starting point of popular literature?" Liang Xiaosheng suggested.
"Just so so, change it!"
"How about reading? Read all the articles in the world!"
"Nine is the end of a number, and one is the beginning of a number. This is called having a beginning and an end. I think it's better to call it 91?"
All six people expressed their opinions, and after all the nonsense, Chen Qi made the final decision, saying: "Some people just talked about the vast world, and some talked about strange stories. Why don't we put them together and call them "Wonderful Stories of the World"!"
(There are not two chapters today, the next chapter is under review...)
Chapter completed!
