The leisurely life of rebirth

Talking about other places competing to imitate farming and greenhouse vegetables, Fang Monan sighed, "Oh! This is the difference between Chinese and Jews."

"Oh! How do you say that?" Han Zhiqian raised his eyebrows and said enthusiastically.

“The Jews opened a gas station in one place, and the business was very good. Then the second Jew came and opened a restaurant, and the third Jew opened a supermarket, and the area became very prosperous.

When a Chinese opens a gas station, the business is very good. The second Chinese will definitely open a second gas station, a third, and a fourth - no one can play with the vicious competition." Fang Monan thought about it and said

"A very vivid metaphor!" Han Zhiqian and Liang Zi nodded in sympathy. As soon as something becomes popular, they will all swarm on it, and the final result is that no one can make money.[

"It seems that you have really broad vision and quick thinking. Not only do you seize business opportunities, but you also give back to your hometown." Fang Monan looked at Liang Zi giving a thumbs up and smiled happily.

"Haha..., I have seen a lot, experienced a lot, jumped into it with all my heart, and thought a lot." Liang Zi said modestly: "The most important thing is sufficient funds, otherwise no matter how good the project is, it will only be ignored."

"Hehe... Liang Zi is indeed a service worker, look at his sweet mouth." Han Zhiqian joked.

"Open the door to do business, welcome guests, and deal with people frequently. Who doesn't like to hear good words? It's not difficult to say a few compliments. Will harmony make you rich?" Liang Zi said.

"That's the truth." Han Zhiqian said.

"Where's the sales?" Fang Monan asked again.

"In sales, in addition to advertising on CCTV, our main focus is newspapers and print media." Liang Zi added: "CCTV is led by Han Zhiqian, and they also offer a 20% discount. The advertising price of print media is low, and it can be done for a few thousand yuan.

"In addition, we are also preparing to set up sales channels. This time all provincial agents must comply with our requirements without making any concessions! This is also the inspiration of Shouhou and Zhiqian." Liang Zi said.

Fang Monan nodded, then sat up straight. He looked at Liang Zi seriously and said: "Since Liang Zi has decided to make food, I want to say a few words. First, the goods must be genuine and not be taken advantage of by others. Second, profit cannot be judged by others.

At the expense of your health, make some expired and rancid food to make some unconscionable money; thirdly! The factory environment must be good, without sewage flowing across the street and flies flying around. You must be able to eat the food you made yourself."

Think about food safety in the future. Officials eat special food, drink special wine, and smoke special cigarettes. The air is polluted. It’s really bad. Just leave and fly abroad. Ordinary people will suffer. Dinner table

I can't eat anything, I dare not eat anything.

In the past, when everyone was poor, they would be happy for a long time after eating a warm meal of steamed buns and dumplings. Gradually, we became richer and richer, but only the rich monks and the poor temples. Happiness is not even mentioned, even the most basic

How can we talk about happiness when we can’t even guarantee our survival by eating or drinking? We are simply deceiving ourselves and others.

Ten years of life and death are boundless. Sudan is red, red everywhere. Thousands of miles of lonely graves. Gutter oil moistens the intestines. Even if we meet each other, we should not know each other, it is hard to beware of clenbuterol. At night, I suddenly return to my hometown, KFC, the back kitchen. Talking to each other, human flesh

Make capsules. The ingredients are from the broken intestine. The steamed buns are fragrant and the lemon is yellow. As I read it, I felt goosebumps all over my body! Cold...

"I understand this. We must write these in the employee handbook. We must specifically mention this when training employees, factory directors, and managers, so that these concepts can be deeply rooted in their minds and engraved in their bones." Liang Zi also promised seriously.

Fang Monan nodded happily and asked curiously: "Who is in charge in the county."

"Fat Man is taking personal command and control in the county during this period." Liang Zi said with a smile.

"Oh! That fat man is willing to go." Fang Monan raised his eyebrows curiously.

"I really made you guess. Fatty can't bear to part with the world." Liang Zi said with a smile, "But after the factory got on track, Long Xianghai hired a few more professional managers. They have very professional ethics. The factory is in Zanyun County.

The family members are watching to see if nothing happens, and then the fat man will come back." Liang Zi said.

Liang Zi added: "Due to the large-scale construction in the county, brother-in-law Qiushi saw the opportunity and launched construction machinery to produce small excavators, earthmoving machines, pneumatic picks, electric drills, and electric hammers. The benefits are good, and the future prospects of the market are estimated to be as well.

Massive."

"Nan Nan is always lazy, and we are so busy that we can't even put our feet on the ground all day long." Han Zhiqian said. "Also, Liang Zi is going to be a father soon."

"Ah! Congratulations! Are the red leaves also in the capital?" Fang Monan asked.

"Here we are! It's too late..." Liang Zihan said with a smile.[

"I know this. Are pregnant women sleepy? I'll go see her tomorrow." Fang Monan said happily.

"By the way, Nan Nan, how do you know Ye Zhenhua and the others?" Han Zhiqian asked with a frown.

"We were just on the same plane. We happened to sit between the two of them and just chatted on the plane." Fang Monan raised his eyebrows slightly, paused and said, "Why are there something wrong between the two of them?"

"Ye Zhenhua is a well-known stubborn leader in the capital. He belongs to a well-known family. The elders in the family are all in the military and hold high positions in the political and political circles. His father is a deputy army officer. I have never seen the one next to him. I don't know his background. I think it is possible.

If you are with him, your status will not be too low." Liang Zi said, he stayed in the capital during this period, and although he did not know everyone here, he had to know in advance who he should not offend.

"Oh! The background is not small, but it seems to have nothing to do with me!" Fang Monan said, we are on the same plane, I guess we will never see each other again! She is just a little girl, a smart little girl.

"It's coming, it's coming, hurry up Nannan, hurry up and eat." Mom came in and called them.

"Okay." Fang Monan and the others walked towards the restaurant.

"Liangzi, Zhiqian, you guys should eat some too!" Mom said, with three bowls of shredded pork noodles placed on the dining table. "Okay!"

"Mom's cooking is still delicious and tastes like my mother's." Fang Monan said after taking a bite.

"Isn't this kid just an ordinary noodle? There are so many emotions." Her mother sat opposite her and watched her eating greedily.

After eating, Liang Zi and Han Zhiqian stood up to say goodbye. Mom wanted to clean up the dishes. "Okay, Mom will have someone to clean up tomorrow, so leave it there!"

"This kid is very fast," my mother said. "After I went out, I didn't learn anything wrong, so I learned to be lazy."

"Mom, you don't want to see the photos of Mobei and my aunt anymore." Fang Monan said. He slept for a long time on the plane and is not sleepy at all now.

"Yeah! Right now, I'll put the dishes and chopsticks into the sink first." Mom wiped the handle with a towel and looked carefully at the photo album spread out on the bed.

"I'm going to take a shower and we'll talk when I come out later," Fang Monan said.

Mom didn't even raise her head. "Okay." The narration of the photo contains the time, place and person who took the photo. Some are photos of Mobei and his aunt at school, captured by Fang Monan. They are very natural. Some are photos of Mobei and his aunt at school.

They were taken together with the tutors and professors. There were also some commemorative photos from the trip to Philadelphia. My mother looked at them eagerly and carefully touched Mobei in the photos. She traced her eyebrows and eyes, as if she could touch the real person.

************************

Fang Monan didn't bother her when he came out of the shower. He sat on the bed and took the easel, pen and paper that Han Zhiqian had put down before leaving. The design drawings were quickly drawn. While trying to recall the style of the flight attendant uniforms in the past, he made modifications as appropriate.

Because he was not sure which style was more desirable, Fang Menan drew several more styles. One was more Western, and the other had more Chinese elements. Then there would be more room for choice.

The pilot's uniform is easy to draw. The basic color of the pilot uniform is dark blue, which emphasizes a sense of security and vitality. The most important thing about the stewardess uniform is that she dislikes the cold blue tones and chooses the warm but not hot, elegant and generous purple series.

There are two sets in total, both in purple. One is cold purple and the other is warm purple. The alternation of cold and warm purple is like sisters' outfits. The visual impact of the two colors is also very positive. The small stand-up collar with Chinese characteristics is like a butterfly.

The small plate buckle is gentle and pleasant. The color and style design not only highlights the noble and elegant temperament of the flight attendant, but also gives people a kind of forget-me-not tenderness like the girl next door.

Fang Monan's design is a little bolder. Under the subtle influence of Han Zhiqian over the years, women's acceptance must be more avant-garde in the previous life. In her design, the coat part has a slightly narrowed waist, which shows the look of a young girl.

Beautiful figure. A purple modified beret, and the finishing touch is a silk scarf on the collar. There is a hint of playfulness and cuteness in the feminine gentleness, youthful beauty.

After my mother finished reading the photo album, she saw Fang Monan drawing seriously. She moved her buttocks over and said, "Ah! It's so beautiful." My mother took the design drawings and looked left and right.[

"Mom, it's really beautiful!" Fang Monan raised his head and said.

"Of course my daughter can do it?" The mother straightened her chest and looked like she couldn't make a mistake.

"Then I'll give you a set too." Fang Monan said with his chin resting on the easel.

"No, Zhiqian and the others have sent me and your dad a lot of clothes in the past few years. We never have enough to wear." Mom said sternly: "Don't bother me anymore."

"Oh! Got it." Fang Monan muttered. Allen was even more horrified. When the clothes changed season, he remotely commanded the store to deliver goods door-to-door, even if he didn't accept them. The result of his protest was only to deliver less.

"Okay, go to bed! It's already two o'clock. Stop drawing." Mom looked at the small alarm clock on the bedside table.

"Okay! There are still two strokes left, so go to bed immediately." Fang Monan said.

The next morning, cicadas roared on the tree, indicating that today was another sunny and hot day. Fang Monan prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

There was a "dong-dong" knock on the door.

Fang Monan said doubtfully, "Look at the watch, it's only seven o'clock. Who is coming at this time?"

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Han Zhiqian standing at the door with a smile on his face, "Good morning!"

"Who is here?" Mom asked in the restaurant.

"Brother Han is here." Fang Monan turned around and said. He looked at Han Zhiqian and said, "You are so early."

"Sister Dayan, good morning!" Han Zhiqian said with a smile, "I haven't had breakfast yet!"

"Have you eaten?" Mom asked.

"No!" Han Zhiqian said as he sat in the aisle seat.

"That's just right. Nan Nan makes breakfast, and this girl doesn't say a word no matter what time she gets up." My mother pretended to complain, but in fact she felt sorry for her.

"Okay, okay!" Han Zhiqian beamed.

"I couldn't wake up at that hour, so I made breakfast." Fang Monan sandwiched the crab roe buns.

The breakfast was very rich, Han Zhiqian exclaimed in his heart, finally eating the food she cooked again. He had never realized that he was picky about food before, but now he realized that he was also a foodie.

After eating, they moved to the living room, and Fang Monan handed the completed design drawings to Han Zhiqian.

"Wow..." Han Zhiqian screamed.

"Don't be like this! It's so exaggerated." Fang Monan laughed.

"It's really good. If I were working for the Civil Aviation Administration of China, I would definitely use our design." Han Zhiqian said affirmatively, "I am conquered." "It embodies the majesty, elegance, gentleness, gracefulness, and all the beauty of Chinese women.

.”

"I didn't expect purple to be so eye-catching. It's true! We have always said that purple energy comes from the east, which means good luck and good fortune. It's a good sign." Han Zhiqian said.

"I've finished the design. All that's left is the fabric. It's up to you." Fang Monan said.

"Okay, no problem. Leave the rest to me."

"By the way. This is what Xiaobei gave to me and asked me to give it to you." Fang Monan took out the document bag and handed it to Han Zhiqian, "I don't know what it is, but it's really tightly wrapped!"

Fang Monan raised his eyebrows. He thought for a moment and said, "Honestly, are you hiding something from me?"

Han Zhiqian's heart skipped a beat, "How can that be impossible! I'm also very curious about what Xiaobei has in here. I'll tell you after I've seen it."

At this time, my mother came over. Behind her was Liang Zi.

Seeing him, Fang Monan thought of going to see the autumn leaves later, "Have you eaten?" Fang Monan asked.

Han Zhiqian breathed a sigh of relief. The brother came just in time. Just in time!

"I've eaten." Liang Zi replied.

"Let's go then! Let's go see the red leaves." Fang Monan stood up and said to him.

"Then go ahead! I have something else to do, I want to turn the drawings into costumes." Han Zhiqian said.

"You're busy with your business, Nannan. Where can I be with Sister Dayan?" Liang Zi said.

After separating from Han Zhiqian, Fang Monan and her daughter carried two large boxes of things in the space. Fortunately, Liang Zi drove to Xicheng.

There is an old saying in Beijing: The east city is rich, the west city is broad, Chongwen is poor, Xuanwu is ruined.

Due to the dredging of the Tonghui River in the Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the canal and water transportation, the East City gradually developed into a gathering place for wealthy families. The West City has always been a place where the mansions of dignitaries gathered. Therefore, the former residence of the Siheyuan

, relatively high-end products basically come from these two places.

"Liang Zi, are we going to Xicheng?" Fang Monan asked while sitting in the passenger seat.

"Hongye and I are living in a small courtyard now," Liang Zi said; "I went to the capital with you last time and listened to your emotions. When we came to Beijing, we decided to live in a courtyard to experience the authentic taste of the old capital."

"Is the journey still far?" Fang Monan asked.

"Not far." Liang Zi said.

"Well let's come down and walk there." Fang Monan said, it would be good to take a walk while the sun is not so bad yet.

Liang Zi parked the car on the side of the road, and they got down and walked in.

The hutong culture of old Beijing is very famous. Later, there was a special tourism feature called hutong tour. It was common to see people dressed as carriage drivers from the Republic of China, riding on the old man-powered tricycles, pulling foreigners or returned overseas Chinese in a mighty convoy.

Traveling through alleys, large and small.

Almost all the main buildings in the hutong are courtyards. This is a closed building consisting of four houses in the east, west, north and south, enclosed in a square and symmetrical form. Depending on the social status of the residents, it can be divided into traditional and simplified sizes.

It is divided into a large courtyard house for high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, with elegant architecture, courtyard columns, carved corridors and painted buildings, as well as front and rear courtyards.

The small courtyard houses of ordinary people are simple in structure, with narrow facades and low walls. Hutongs are essentially passages between many courtyard houses, large and small, arranged one after another.

A courtyard is a closed residence with only one street door to the outside. When the door is closed, it is like heaven and earth. It has strong privacy and is very suitable for exclusive living. Inside the courtyard, the houses on all four sides open to the courtyard, and the family can be harmonious and happy inside.

.Because the courtyard is spacious, you can plant trees and flowers, raise birds and fish, and stack rocks to create landscaping. Residents not only enjoy comfortable housing, but also enjoy the beauty of nature.

Wandering in the alley, Fang Monan looked more carefully than last time, and this time it must be more interesting than she was on TV in later generations.

"If Liangzi's house is for rent, I suggest you buy it." Fang Monan touched the green bricks, which are simple and thick, carrying history and culture. These green bricks are also carefully carved and refined, with a simple style and a northern style.

Bold and unrestrained.

Brick carving in Beijing flourished in the Qing Dynasty, with mature craftsmanship. The techniques integrated relief carving, openwork carving, and engraving into one furnace. The themes were mainly flowers. The style was rigorous, dignified, and rich. It was mainly used on screen walls, lintels, eaves, crests, and core walls of corridors.

, sill walls and ventilation. Since Beijing was the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the feudal patriarchal system was strictly controlled. Decorations such as glazed paintings can only be enjoyed in large buildings such as palaces and temples, while small folk architectural decorations can only be used in large buildings such as palaces and temples.

Brick carvings developed and were widely used in courtyard houses. Even the brick carvings under the emperor's feet revealed an official position.

"I bought it. It's very beautiful. Even when I renovated it, it still retained its original flavor," Liang Zi said.

"Okay! You have a good vision." Fang Monan said.

"That depends on your explanation." Liang Zi said: "Now you can see it everywhere in the capital. High-rise buildings are rising from the ground. Many old residents who are used to living in courtyards are beginning to yearn for living in buildings. So I bought it.

.”

"It has always been human nature to look at the height of this mountain. Now is a good time to buy a courtyard house." Fang Monan said.

Fang Monan held his mother's hand and went in and out of alleys. "What's so interesting about Nannan? It's an old house." His mother said disapprovingly. "It's similar to our home, but it's better than ours."

It’s a little more elaborate.”

"My mother's courtyard house in Beijing is famous. It is unique in the world. It is like the business card of Beijing. It is also because although it is a residential building, it contains profound cultural connotations and is the carrier of traditional Chinese culture." Fang Monan said.

"This is not only a place where people live, but also history and culture."

"Oh! I just said one thing. You have so many great reasons." My mother smiled and said, "If you like it, just watch it!"

The construction of a courtyard house is very particular about Feng Shui. From site selection and positioning to determining the specific scale of each building, all must be carried out according to Feng Shui theory.

Feng Shui theory is actually ancient Chinese architectural environment science and an important part of traditional Chinese architectural theory. This Feng Shui theory has been guiding the construction activities of ancient China for thousands of years. In addition to Feng Shui theory, the decoration and carvings of courtyards

, colorful paintings also reflect folk customs and traditional culture everywhere, expressing people's pursuit of happiness, beauty, wealth, and auspiciousness under certain historical conditions. For example, a pattern composed of bat and longevity means "good fortune and longevity", and a rose is placed in a vase.

The pattern of flowers means "safety in all seasons", and the auspicious words embedded in the door tubes, the door headers, the pillar-holding couplets attached to the eaves, and the masterpieces of calligraphy and painting hanging indoors are a collection of ancient sayings from sages.

Famous verses from ancient and modern times may extol the beauty of mountains and rivers, or inscribe the knowledge of life, or chant the ambitions of a swan. They are elegant and full of rich cultural flavor. Visiting the courtyard is like stepping into a palace of traditional Chinese culture.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, the alley was very quiet, and there was a sense of leisure in the quietness. Occasionally, I would meet an old man walking to eat after breakfast, holding a birdcage in his hand, teasing it from time to time, and listening to the chirping of the birds.

There is often a little native dog behind him, wagging his tail and running back and forth. When he meets someone, he will run up to you and sniff. He will look up at you very cutely, blinking and blinking with his big wet eyes.

You can't help but feel love and affection in your heart. Dogs are a very spiritual gesture. Dogs at this time are often the closest companions and friends of the family. They are not the delicate pet dogs that they became later, nor are they so-called noble as pet dogs.

In terms of their bloodline, these little dogs who live in the earth are the ones who are most willing to get close to people, and they truly have a kind of spirituality that can communicate with their owners.

Occasionally, from the open door, a burst of Peking Opera singing would float out. Looking around, I saw an old-fashioned radio on the stone table under the grape trellis in the courtyard, and a gray-haired man sitting on the Taishi chair.

The old grandfather, shaking his banana fan, was shaking his head and listening in fascination. He put one hand on his knees and beat the music in time with the rhythm. Occasionally, when he heard something happy, he would also harmonize a few lines in his throat.

Mom looked at Fang Monan and wanted to go in. She hurriedly pulled her, not to go too far, and not to be caught as a thief. The mother and daughter quietly exited without making a sound, for fear of disturbing the old man's enjoyment.

happy.

This is the tranquility hidden in the bustling city. If you find a way around the alleys, you will find the most prosperous areas in the capital. It truly fulfills the old saying: find tranquility in the bustle. The people living there live a comfortable life.

Leisure, quiet days, enjoying the joy of family, family fun, naturally have a leisurely and contented atmosphere.

"How do you feel?" Fang Monan walked on the road, tilting his head and looking at his mother and asked.

In the silence, except for the chirping of insects and birds, there is no hustle and bustle of the city. My mother felt it carefully: "My heart is very quiet and peaceful."

Liang Zi said: "Living here, the tranquility has effectively soothed my agitated heart."

"Oh! How do you say that?" Fang Monan turned back and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Liang Zi frowned, "How should I put it? The business of the hotel is getting more and more popular, and the money is flowing like water, rushing... Sometimes, I can't help but get hot-headed, thinking that I am very capable, great, and a bit of a villain.

The feeling of success, self-satisfaction, and soaring into the sky.”

He paused and then added: "Although I have repeatedly told myself to be steady, calm, and calm, but when I saw the rising numbers on the books, I realized that learning to control myself is also a matter of perseverance." He raised his eyes.

Looking at the quiet courtyard, he continued: "But after living here, my manic heart seemed to calm down all of a sudden." What Liang Zi hadn't said yet was, "With you as an example, I want to follow your footsteps even more. I hope not to

Being left behind.'(To be continued)
