Chapter 124 Going home

The entire building has seven floors, and Yan Qingguo's house is on three floors. Because the entire building is a cultural heritage building, even though the location is very commercially valuable, it has never been commercially developed.

The problem with the house is very obvious, because it is not transparent between the north and south and is on the backlight side, and the lighting of the house is very poor, so the lights must be turned on at around 4 pm.

Besides, because there is no storage room, many things can only be placed in the room, which looks very messy.

There are also some common problems: the room layout is unreasonable, which leads to the complete isolation of the living room from the outside world. Like a closed KTV box, the lights are turned on almost all day long. In addition, it is the problem of humidity and aging of lines.

However, there are also good things: the master bedroom and the second bedroom are connected to the main bedroom and there is a very spacious balcony, which means that the windows of the two bedrooms are too small to make it impossible to enter the room with sufficient light.

The house is used for wedding houses, so Chen Man naturally had to ask Lin Qing what he meant. But what Chen Man didn’t expect was that Lin Qing did not have the old ideas of the elderly at all, and her design ideas were very... trendy.

"Don't joke with auntie. Auntie has always liked more modern design styles, such as this." Lin Qing took out the design book published by Chen Man, pointed to an industrial-style design template and said: "This is good, simple, fresh and very distinctive."

After chatting with Lin Qing for a long time, Chen Man felt more and more that Lin Qing's appreciation level was indeed very fashionable.

Chen Man could see that Lin Qing must have been a beautiful woman when she was young, and she looked like a lady from a wealthy family.

Even if he was sick and bedridden, the old man's hair did not look messy at all. Chen Man knew that the regular hairstyle was made of a grate that only the old man would use. There was no stain on the clothes. Although the room seemed messy because of the lot of debris, each part was very clean.

Another point is that even though Lin Qing is already very weak, she refuses to use a urinary pad and has to "get a lot of trouble" every time she goes to the toilet.

After asking, I found out that Lin Qing was really a lady from a noble family back then. Even though his family declined later, he could not take away Lin Qing's aristocratic temperament.

"I have a request, can you... agree to me?" Lin Qing suddenly asked Yan Qingguo to help him up and lean on the backrest and said, "I have always hoped to see the sunshine in the bedroom..."

Lin Qing was obviously embarrassed, and even Yan Qingguo's expression became entangled.

The second floor, backlit side, the apartment is not yet transparent from north to south, so it is almost impossible to let the sunlight shine into the bedroom.

Chen Man dared not boast about his agreement, and he did not want to disappoint the two old men too much. He could only say: "I will find a way. If you have any requirements, just say it. I will try my best to do whatever I can."

After reading the house, the data was measured. At noon, the old man wanted to keep Chen Man for dinner, but Chen Man politely declined the old man's kindness.

As soon as I walked downstairs, I met Yan Zhengyang head-on.

Yan Zhengyang looked very straightforward and asked Lin Qing what requests he made. Chen Man did not hide it from him and told Yan Zhengyang one by one.

Chen Manyue said, Yan Zhengyang's eyebrows became tighter and tighter.

"Please trouble you guys."

Before Chen Man finished speaking, Yan Zhengyang turned around and walked upstairs.

In the car.

Fu Jiaming touched his chin and thought for a long time before saying to Chen Man: "Don't you find it strange?"

Chen Man drove the car and looked forward and sighed: "After so long, are there few strange things?"

Fu Jiaming said: "Lin Qing is so old but so fashionable. I always think something is wrong."

Chen Man smiled and said, "What do you mean is the aesthetics of the elderly that should be traditional?"

Fu Jiaming stared at Chen Man for a long time. Of course, he realized that Chen Man was a little abnormal today, and he looked like he was singing the opposite tune.

After a while, Chen Man said, "Actually, I thought of it too. Uncle Yan must have misunderstood Aunt Lin Qing's meaning."

Fu Jiaming became puzzled: "What does it mean?"

Chen Man sighed: "Didn't you see many photos hanging in Yan Zhengyang's room? He should have a girlfriend, and it may not be as simple as a girlfriend. The two should have been together for quite some time. There are dates on the photos. I've seen it for at least four years."

Fu Jiaming still didn't react.

Chen Man continued: "I have been talking about my girlfriend for four years. Even if I haven't gotten married, Yan Zhengyang's girlfriend has never appeared in such a big deal as a house renovation. What do you think is the reason?"

Fu Jiaming finally understood something: "What you mean is that Yan Zhengyang's girlfriend doesn't want to live in this old and dilapidated small house, so the old man is not decorating the house to fulfill his wish, but to help his son get married?"

Chen Man nodded: "It can be seen that Aunt Lin Qing has a strong personality. If she does not agree to decorating the house, Uncle Yan will not go against her wishes. The only possibility is that the house is not for the aunt to decorate, but..."

"It's good. Being able to help your son solve the marriage matter before leaving is considered a perfect merit." Fu Jiaming sighed: "That's... I always feel something is wrong with Yan Zhengyang. Why does he always frown?"

...

Back to the third part, Chen Man dived into the office and started designing. According to Lin Qing's requirements, Chen Man had actually had some ideas. The only problem was how to let the sunlight enter. This really made Chen Man feel a little headache.

After seeing the house, Chen Man obviously had more ideas and revised the previous design draft that night. It was already past one o'clock in the evening.

When he returned to the old house, Chen Man did not see Chen Chunfang, but saw the food left in the insulated bucket on the table.

I took out my cell phone and read the WeChat message to find out that my adoptive father was in poor health and Chen Chunfang had already returned home.

There was a note on the table, with only a very short sentence on it: "Your dad is old, I have been talking about you these days." Next to it is a scarf that Chen Chunfang knitted these days.

The next morning, Fu Jiaming took Chen Man to work as usual, but this time Chen Man changed his route.

"Go to Huaihai Road."

Before going to work, Chen Man went to the old house on Huaihai Road. Chen Chunfang's house was separated by a wall from the old house. Chen Man held a piece of clothing in his hand and knocked on the door of Chen Chunfang's house.

"Manman, why are you here?" Chen Chunfang seemed a little surprised.

"I forgot to take your clothes, it's a bit cold this day."

Chen Chunfang understood Chen Man's meaning and put away her clothes with a smile.

"Have you eaten?" Chen Chunfang saw Chen Man shook her head, so she naturally pulled Chen Man to the dining table: "Eat and leave. It's all your favorite food."

Xiaolong steamed buns, tofu brains, and egg cakes are all Chen Man's favorite breakfast. She glanced at the kitchen and the white printed celadon bowl. It was specially prepared for her when Chen Man first came to the Shen family. Chen Chunfang had long thought that it was because Chen Chunfang despised her.

Chen Man's bedroom door was covered in a blank space. Through the crack of the door, Chen Man could see that inside was still the same as before she left. However, after so many years, there was no trace of dust on the white panda pillow, and even the objects on the desk were placed as before.

"Just finished cleaning?" Chen Man pointed to the direction of the bedroom.
