Chapter 119 The Last Award Evaluation
After using it all night and one day, the original appearance of the old house was basically implemented in the design draft.
Chen Sisi and Nicole were careful to compare the dimensions and orientations, Hou Jingming and Shi Jin were responsible for measuring data in the old house, Fu Jiaming was responsible for commanding, and others helped.
The problem quickly emerged.
The appearance of the house is easy to solve. Whether it is the blue and red brick wall or the trapezoidal roof, there are ways to solve it. The room can also be used to make the stairs and wooden floors basically restored, including beds and cabinets, which can be solved by more labor.
But there were many ornaments, calligraphy and paintings and old furniture in the old house, which could not be restored at all.
In addition, although Chen Man has a lot of drawings, there is no drawing information on the master bedroom on the first floor, so it is impossible to restore it to its original appearance.
Chen Man was not too confused: "We have worked hard, and it is enough to work hard to do our best. I believe my grandfather will be satisfied after seeing it."
Even though he said that, the people in the third brother were holding a sense of enthusiasm.
"If you want to do it, do it well. The people from the third department will never deal with it. This is... left to me." Hou Jingming said suddenly.
Since the property rights of the house were clear, Aunt Ying has never accepted media interviews and the vegetable store has been transferred. In the past few days, she is inquiring about suitable nursing homes. After Chen Man and the others have finished designing, they will move into the nursing home to enjoy their old age.
Hou Jingming suddenly found Aunt Ying, and she wanted Aunt Ying to accept another interview.
Aunt Ying originally wanted to refuse, but after all, she was old and often the body could no longer bear it. But after hearing Hou Jingming's plan, Aunt Ying finally agreed to accept another interview.
No one expected that Hou Jingming would think of this trick.
Hou Jingming made a document to the media for ornaments, furniture and other objects that could not be copied from Chen Man's drawings, and the media sent a letter of initiative to netizens.
This proposal triggered a large number of netizens' responses, and the appearance of Aunt Ying caused a lot of sensation. Soon, all kinds of old items were sent to the old house.
Hou Jingming's method was very effective. A large number of old objects that had been lost for decades were actually found. But there was another important thing that never appeared.
An old-fashioned clock.
It is clearly written in my grandfather's confidential file that when my grandfather was still participating in intelligence work, the contact between him and Zhao Wanshan was through this old clock.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, due to his outstanding intelligence work, this very historical old clock was rewarded to Zhao Wanshan. Before rushing to the Korean battlefield, Zhao Wanshan gave this old clock, which represents the highest honor, to his grandfather.
After the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, my grandfather always regarded this old clock as a treasure. In Aunt Ying's memory, she seemed to often see her grandfather Chen Wanshan talk to this old clock, and sometimes she could talk all day long.
Chen Man suddenly remembered that although Chen Hua and Aunt Ying’s two old houses were very similar to grandpa Chen Wanshan’s, every time his grandpa entered the room, he would stare at the wall directly north of the living room.
Now, Chen Man knows what Grandpa is looking for.
Without that old clock, no matter how the house is restored to its original appearance, it would be impossible for grandpa to recover his memories from the past.
For a time, many netizens spontaneously organized activities to find the lost old clock.
Almost every day, enthusiastic netizens bring Lao Zhong to the door, but unfortunately, three days passed in a row, and no clock was the one grandfather wanted.
Aunt Ying searched through the boxes and cabinets for a long time and finally found the information about the old clock. When Zhao Wanshan received the reward, there was a reward certificate, which happened to have the appearance of the old clock.
Everyone soon found a line of small words engraved on the door frame of the old clock, "Outstanding Intelligence Worker: Zhao Wanshan. Award."
Among the many old clocks, several similar appearances were found. The monkey spirit Hou Jingming immediately thought of a solution: "Since that's the case, let's find a lettering to carve the row of words, and grandpa should be able to recognize it, right?"
I found the best craftsman to carve the characters and make them old. But when Chen Man took this grandfather to look at the watch, Chen Wanshan was really stunned for a while at first, as if he had vaguely recalled something. Chen Man knew very well that grandfather must have recalled something in that state.
But no one expected that Grandpa walked to the surface of Zhong and asked, and suddenly became irritable: "It's not it, it's not it!"
It took a lot of time for several people to temporarily calm grandpa's emotions.
Unexpectedly, Hou Jingming's idea was backfired. Although his grandfather finally calmed down, he was in a bad state and often talked to himself about his expression. Sometimes he was dazed, sometimes he suddenly lost control of his emotions...
Although I was anxious, everyone had no other choice. I could only restore the old house based on important things first, and the rest could only be left to God's will.
The construction progress is quite smooth. Although Aunt Ying has decorated the house before, fortunately, the main structure of the house has not changed much, and a lot of effort has been saved in construction.
The only problem is the master bedroom on the first floor. Because Chen Man's drawings do not have a record of this bedroom, it is difficult for Aunt Ying to recall what it used to be, so she can only be dealt with in the end.
"Sister Chen Man, tell you something."
On that day, several people were busy. Chen Sisi suddenly pulled Chen Man aside and quietly told Chen Man: "The Hongming Award has begun to collect entries. I remember you have always wanted to win the Hongming Award."
Chen Man knew Chen Sisi’s thoughts. For so long, she had been busy helping her grandfather fulfill her wish, but she had forgotten her wish.
"Forget it, look at me so busy now, so how can I have the heart to do that?"
Just as Chen Sisi was about to speak, Chen Man completely blocked Chen Sisi's mouth: "Forget it. Let's talk about it next time."
Chen Sisi could see that Chen Man was a little unwilling to accept it.
At noon, Chen Sisi told the Hongming Awards to the people of the third department. It doesn’t matter if they don’t say it, but when Hou Jingming said that, he became nervous.
"Don't you know? This year is the last Hongming Awards award, and it will be gone next year?"
Chen Sisi couldn't believe it. When she opened the homepage of Hongming Awards, she did see a notice that the awards would be stopped next year.
"Old Fu, what's going on?" Hou Jingming knew that Fu Jiaming had a good relationship with the members of the Hongming Award organizing committee, so he turned around and asked Fu Jiaming.
Fu Jiaming's mood suddenly became much lower: "The Hongming Award has been held for seven sessions. Although it has a great influence in Shanghai, what I know is that Zhao Xiangsheng, the founder of the Hongming Award, is not in good health and seems to be about to retire. In addition, there seem to be some other reasons."
