Return To 1977 Chapter 474: The new look of the old house

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

No one in the Hong family was unhappy when they heard that they were going to their old house to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

Because people who have been there want to see how well the house is being repaired, and people who have never been there have long been thinking about seeing what the old house looks like.

It is because they are afraid of disturbing the construction progress and causing trouble wherever they go, so they have been restrained and did not dare to visit.

Now that we have this opportunity, excitement is inevitable.

Besides, when Wang Yunlin came back, she praised the newly built house again, which made everyone feel extremely itchy.

But to be honest, probably because Wang Yunlin talked so well about it in such excitement, no one could really believe Wang Yunlin's words. The Hong family all suspected that she was partial to her third son and there were too many exaggerations in her words.

First of all, in the case of Hong Lucheng, although he already had a lot of trust in Hong Yanwu, compared with the past impression, his impression of this son has greatly changed. Moreover, he also heard from his eldest son Hong Yanzheng that Mr. Shan, who is currently responsible for repairing the house, is a real expert.

However, he knew the houses in "Huatingyuaner" better, and the details were quite complicated. After all, it has been idle for twenty years. Although it is good on the outside, all the exciting parts have to be replaced. And the disadvantage is that there are too few craftsmen who can do such fine work nowadays, and many materials are hard to come by.

So in his mind, it would be very difficult to restore it to 70% to 80% of its original appearance. How could it be possible, as Wang Yunlin said, to cultivate better both inside and outside than before?

In particular, Wang Yunlin told him that the old attic had been demolished and a new, exquisitely crafted nanmu attic had been built.

He couldn't believe it even more.

Hong Lucheng is not an ignorant person. Doesn’t he know how hard it is to find nanmu? What's the price?

He naturally thought that the most likely possibility was that Wang Yunlin had seen it wrong.

Secondly, for Hong Yanzheng, Xu Manli, Hong Yanwen and Hong Yanru, in their impressions, they could never imagine what Wang Yunlin said, being able to climb the stairs to view the scenery, read on the verandah, and live under the shade of flowers and trees. All facilities are available. What exactly should a garden-style courtyard with a kitchen, a dining room, a toilet, a bathroom, and heating look like.

As for what Wang Yunlin described, the walls of the kitchen, toilet, and bathroom were all covered with pure white ceramic tiles, and the floor was also paved with a "mosaic" like chess pieces. I was even more surprised.

Because they only know that public bathhouses use those rare things. The advantage is that they are very easy to clean and they look almost spotless. But the problem is that it’s also expensive, and no one has ever used it in ordinary people’s homes.

Nowadays, they use such good materials even in smoky and smelly places. Isn’t that awesome?

Finally, for a little guy like Hong Jun, Wang Yunlin told him that in a few days he would go to a place with a lot of rooms, an open space big enough for a sports meeting, and many flowers and fruit trees to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. He was looking forward to it with great anticipation and joy. And there is no doubt.

It's just that he can't figure out where he is going, nor does he understand what the "Dragon Boat Festival" is. So when I was competing with other children in the kindergarten, I was ridiculed and attacked by everyone.

Some children said, "Is that a public institution where you are talking about? My dad is in the Workers' Club, and the open space there is huge..."

Some children said, "Your family probably goes to the park together, right? Taoranting or Zhongshan Park? It's so ridiculous, who hasn't been there!"

Some people even ridiculed, "Dragon Boat Festival? Never heard of it. I was carrying a urinal. Zongzi? What is that? Made of glutinous rice? There are dates and bean fillings in it? Why does it sound more and more like it? Cut the cake! ”

In the end, everyone came to the unanimous conclusion that Hong Jun was pure nonsense and fanciful! There was a burst of laughter from everyone.

Hong Jun was in trouble because of his youth.

And in this way, he couldn't help but become suspicious. Could it be that grandma could still lie to him?

With this or that mentality in mind, the Hong family came to the Hong family’s old house one after another on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Of course the first ones to come were Mr. and Mrs. Hong, Lu and Cheng. They packed up their things early in the morning and came over first with food, drinks and a large set of newly bought tableware.

Because after getting here, we still have to clean up. Wipe it, wash it, and see what's missing. You can go out for shopping temporarily.

Hong Lucheng really didn't expect that this house was so wonderfully renovated. Indeed, the old style was perfectly restored, and it looked like a new house. It is still plain and black, looking simple and elegant.

The most wonderful wall sculpture "Hundred Sons Playing" and the missing parts of the hollow flower-carved wall have been completed. The window lattice of "Bu Bu Jin" and the door carvings of "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum" are also newly made. The craftsmanship is very exquisite, which is better than the craftsmen we hired back then.

But these are nothing compared to the new attic.

The attic has three eaves and two floors. It faces south and faces north. It is surrounded by no walls. It is independent in the center of the inner courtyard and is still connected to the five main rooms through verandas. The entire building is made of wooden structures that are interconnected and supported by sixteen thick wooden pillars at the bottom.

On the bottom floor, there is a dome and Bagua dome, with four sky-reaching pillars in the middle leading directly to the top of the pavilion and connecting the entire beam frame. It can be said that the structure is grand and the style is exquisite.

But the most important thing is not this, but that the tan wood color is very oily, and it actually has a golden effect when facing the sun. And if you are close, you can still smell the fragrance of wood.

Looking closely, there is actually no painting in the entire attic. Except for wood carvings, they are only "hot waxed" at most.

At this time, Hong Lucheng felt that this building was probably made of golden nanmu. This is because the natural wood quality of golden nanmu is the highest decoration, which can never be matched by any artificial decoration. There is nothing else but a building made of wood that would be so rustic.

Can he still sit still? Different from Wang Yunlin who has always been in charge of internal affairs. In the past, he took care of all the dealings with the construction factory at home and outside the house. How could he not know that the aniseed golden nanmu has become extinct since the Qing Dynasty. No matter how hard you try, you can't figure out where Hong Yanwu got this kind of wood.

Okay, okay. Now the old man was completely shocked, and he didn't help his wife at all after the call. I just spent the whole morning wandering around here, thinking about the attic.

In fact, he had something on his mind, but he didn't dare to tell Wang Yunlin. I was a little distracted even during lunch. Unfortunately, the door was locked. He wanted to go in and take a look but couldn't.

When Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan came back with a leg of lamb and a lot of vegetables in the afternoon, Hong Lucheng, who was already anxious, blocked them in the kitchen without waiting for his son to put down the things, and asked them first Here comes the matter of wood.

Hong Yanwu didn't hide anything, and told everything about what happened. Then he went to take out the certificates written by Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping.

After Hong Lucheng heard this bizarre incident and looked at the written evidence, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Isn’t this strange? Hong Lucheng never expected that this town object that had guarded the east side of the capital for hundreds of years would become his attic by accident.

Besides, according to Hong Yanwu's words, it's not enough without this wood, otherwise the "sacred tree" in the capital will be completely useless. This thing makes people wonder why it feels like "this is how it is meant to be".

Although the thing is a treasure, you can’t tell whether it is a blessing or a curse?

Hong Lucheng's view is the same as that of Hong Yanwu. This "sacred tree" cannot be exclusive to one family. Furthermore, the idea that this can keep a house safe and secure is just folklore and cannot be true. If you don't do it right, you'll end up paying the bills in the future, and the trouble will never end. Can families like theirs afford it?

So after thinking about it, Hong Lucheng told Hong Yanwu not to tell any family members about this matter. It cannot be announced to the outside world. If someone really asks about it and can't hide it, just say "Zhennan" is used. In this way, the wood is reduced to the level of ordinary nanmu, which can always be confused and perfunctory.

Hong Yanwu nodded, but then he took his father to the attic. After unlocking the door and going in, Hong Lucheng discovered a large log with a diameter of more than two meters on the first floor. The flat surface can be used as a dining table that can seat sixteen people.

At this time, Hong Yanwu said again.

"Dad, look! This is the last log of the 'sacred tree'. There was another log originally saved. Unfortunately, Wang Hanping, an old carpenter, opened the material and knocked out the 'floor cover' and 'floor covering' in the house. A 'canopy bed'. If I hadn't stopped him from sleeping on that bed, he might have made it into a piece of furniture. So when you move in later, you can sleep on it. Don’t ask me where the nanmu bed came from. If my mother wants to ask, she has to rely on you to cover her. I’ll let you know first..."

Hong Lucheng was speechless for a long time, looking at the only remaining log in front of him, and finally shook his head helplessly.

Hey, I really don’t know where this son was born. Why do evil things happen to him? No, it made him feel frightened again today!

Of course, it can't be said that he did something bad again. This is a matter of accumulating merit. If you don't do this, the treasure of the capital will be ruined.

In addition, who is so lucky to have a building built of "sacred wood" and sleep on a canopy bed made of golden nanmu?

But things in the world are hard to say. Sometimes things can be turned upside down due to rumors, and good people may not be rewarded!

Moreover, a gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. It is precisely because these objects are so precious that they make him feel uneasy and uneasy!

Fortunately, my son was sensible and had no intention of taking this thing as his own. He was just doing it as a temporary measure. If you really want the country to take care of it in the future, the worst case scenario is donating it to the country.

Hey! In fact, compared with some "sacred tree" to protect a house, having a safe family is the greatest blessing!

Completely different from the worried Hong Lucheng, Hong Yanru got out of school at 3:30 in the afternoon and went directly to the "Wanshou West Palace" kindergarten opposite "140 Middle School" to pick up Hong Jun.

When they came here together, they were so happy.
