Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 36: Stiff Neck
When he got home in the evening, Jiang You heated two cups of milk and brought them upstairs.
Placing the milk on the workbench, he sat down in the computer chair.
He took out his cell phone and after searching for a long time he found a WeChat group. When he looked up, both glasses of milk were empty.
He put down his phone and opened the door to the second bedroom.
At first glance, I didn't see any minced ginger.
He raised his head.
Jiang Mo's body was pressed against the ceiling and he blinked.
"Come down."
Jiang Mo moved to the side.
"I'll count to three..."
Before Jiang You started counting, Jiang Mo fell on the bed.
Jiang You walked to the bed and sat down. He reached out and touched Jiang Mo's head. "Let's practice calligraphy together starting tomorrow."
Jiang Mo sat up.
"There are so many things to teach in kindergarten now, such as English, math, and painting, but you don't know any of them. Last time I asked you to learn a musical instrument, but you refused. What if you are discriminated against when you go to elementary school? We still have more than a year to practice your handwriting..."
The window is open.
Jiang Mo turned over and jumped out.
Jiang You looked at the room which had become truly empty this time. He sighed and lay down on Jiang Mo's bed again.
He opened the Apple Book Club assessment group, slowly scrolled through the chat history, found this week's recommended reading list, picked out a book with a short title, searched it on Baidu, and after checking the reviews on various platforms, he made up a paragraph and posted it on his Moments.
Take screenshots and send to the group.
Throwing his phone aside, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in a few seconds.
shake.
Shake.
My stomach feels like it's being strangled.
He opened his eyes and found himself hanging.
He bent his head with an effort and saw Jiang Mo sitting cross-legged on the windowsill.
The spider silk broke and he fell to the ground.
"I'm just going to sleep in your bed."
Jiang You stood up and rubbed his neck. "Oh, it's twisted. I need to press it."
There was some noise outside the window, Jiang You looked out and saw Lu Bin leading the construction team into the yard. He walked out of the room, washed up, changed his clothes and went downstairs.
"You guys are so early, have you had breakfast?"
"Did you just get up?" Lu Bin asked Jiang You.
"Just got up."
"I took a look at the whole thing yesterday," Lu Bin took out the construction drawings and walked to Jiang You. "It's not that easy to do here on the east side."
"Isn't it just digging holes in bamboo to make a succulent flower pot? Just make sure to leave drainage holes at the bottom. Isn't this easy?"
"No, you want to build a two-story building. Look here," Lu Bin pointed at the construction drawing, "It's a viewing terrace on top.
"Yeah, what's wrong with this?"
“This is equivalent to building a building.”
Jiang You glanced at Lu Bin and said, "How could we possibly build a building? Take a look at the renderings."
"It looks simple, but actually..."
"Then what do you want to do?" Jiang You interrupted Lu Bin.
Lu Bin looked at Jiang You's expression and said, "Some other places are difficult to deal with. I thought of a solution yesterday."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Here, I thought the hotel was going to build a terrace, so your yard is not suitable..."
"Wait a minute, I'll find a designer. "
"Okay, go ahead and look for it." Lu Bin stood aside.
Jiang You called Liu Boyang's cell phone and told him what had happened. Liu Boyang replied that he would look for You Wenjun.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Bin said: "It's no use looking for a designer. There will definitely be a gap between the drawings and the actual product."
Jiang You didn't respond.
Lu Bin was a little embarrassed.
A few minutes later, Lu Bin's cell phone rang. It was You Wenjun calling.
After he made a few excuses, he responded a few more times and then hung up the phone.
"Can we do it?" Jiang You asked.
"If you insist on doing it, then you have to do it."
After the construction team started work, Jiang You went to Xiaofangzhai next door to have breakfast. After sitting down, he took out his mobile phone and found that Liu Boyang had sent him several WeChat messages explaining the construction team's affairs.
Liu Boyang: There is no problem with my design drawing.
Liu Boyang: The construction is not difficult. I reviewed the construction drawings and surveyed your yard myself. Similar projects have been done before .
Liu Boyang: Wenjun said he would come and talk to the construction team in person, so don't worry.
Yin Jie brought the yellow croaker noodles to Jiang You, "It's very early today."
"I didn't close the window when I went to bed yesterday, and I was woken up by the cold this morning."
Jiang You replied to Liu Boyang’s WeChat: There is no need to make a special trip here, just follow the drawings.
"A lot of people have caught colds recently, so be careful," said Yin Jie.
"I feel like I have a stiff neck. I need to find a spot to press and use a cupping jar to remove the moisture."
"The Chinese medicine health center opened by Lao Yu is holding an event recently."
"I'll go check it out this afternoon."
After eating the yellow croaker noodles and chatting with Yin Jie for a while while standing at the counter, Jiang You returned to the insect house.
He walked into the store, found rice paper, brushes and ink, brought down the iPad from upstairs, searched for a few calligraphy pictures on Baidu and put them aside, then he began to scribble on the paper.
After painting for a while, he picked up the rice paper when the ink was slightly dry and admired his work.
He said to himself: "It's quite spiritual."
"Police Officer Jiang...Boss..."
Jiang You turned his head and saw You Wenjun standing at the door, wearing a suit and a bow tie, with Lu Bin behind him.
"Boss You, I've already told Boyang that you don't need to come over."
You Wenjun turned around and said a few words to Lu Bin. Lu Bin went back to work, and You Wenjun walked to Jiang You.
He explained softly, "This construction team was re-employed this year. The foreman took the original team to another place."
He glanced at Jiang You and said, "I told Engineer Lu before that this order needs to be carefully considered. We are still in the process of adjusting. Boyang's designs have always been relatively complicated..."
"I'm now worried about whether there will be problems later, otherwise I will have to come to you every time," Jiang You played with the brush in his hand, "You didn't make much money from me in total. It took more than an hour to come here from Ning'an District, and all the profits were spent on gas. I'm so embarrassed."
"No, no, I have already made it clear to Engineer Lu. "
"I hope so."
