AWB Chapter 182: Wrong Direction
Chapter 182: Wrong Direction
Lan Xin painted what he imagined a holiday courtyard would look like in the future, with snow-white walls, green tiles, a crystal clear pond, a small bridge and flowing water, creating an atmosphere of leisure and comfort.
Combined with the scenery of Sanqing Mountain, it is a leisurely and elegant holiday resort, and it is the retirement paradise that Chinese people dream of.
Lan nodded with satisfaction.
Yingying Yueyue turned around and asked in confusion, "Mom, is this what our new house looks like?"
"Yes, isn't it beautiful?" Lan Xin asked with a smile, "Do you like Yingying and Yueyue? When this place is turned into a hotel, we can go there from time to time, okay?"
The two children did not answer happily immediately as Lan Xin had imagined. Instead, they looked hesitant. Lan Xin hurriedly tried to persuade them.
"Tell mom what you think."
Yueyue looked at Lanxin, and finally answered in a low voice: "Mom, I want to live in a small western-style building."
After saying that, she immediately lowered her head, as if she was afraid that Lan Xin would be angry. Lan Xin was not angry, she was just stunned.
"Don't you like the style of this small courtyard?" Lan Xin asked in confusion after looking at the drawing.
Seeing that Lan Xin was really not angry, Yue Yue raised her head and replied, "There are houses with small courtyards everywhere in the village. The one my mother painted is many times more beautiful than theirs, because I still want to live in a small building in the city."
Yueyue's clear voice rang in Lanxing's ears like a big drum, and the sound of "boom" shattered Lanxin's little heart.
She gasped, suddenly realizing.
Yes, times have changed and the perspectives on things are also different.
People like her, who came from the future, had long been tired of those square buildings and felt depressed. They hoped to have a house with a yard full of flowers and plants, which would be so lush and green that it seemed as if they were living in a forest.
I have forgotten that in this era, people are tired of living in bungalows. What they yearn for are small buildings, tall buildings where they can live and see the distant scenery.
Lan Xin also recalled that it was 83 now. After a while, all the decoration in the country would be in European style. She yearned for going abroad, and going abroad was the highest honor.
A mountain inn like this might not have a market in this era.
"Ugh……"
Lan Xin sighed and looked embarrassed. It seemed that she couldn't balance her yearning and survival. The design of her hotel had to conform to the current people's preferences. Her own design was not important.
Fortunately, it was discovered early. If this problem was discovered after it was built, it would be difficult to deal with.
"Mom, did I say something wrong?" Seeing Lan Xin looking dejected, Yueyue asked worriedly.
She was afraid her mother would be angry.
Lan Xin turned around and forced a smile, "No, Mommy should thank Yueyue. If it weren't for Yueyue, Mommy wouldn't have realized her mistake."
Lan Xin breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to touch Yueyue and Yingying's heads. "You two are really my great treasures!"
If it weren't for Yueyue, she would have almost lost her mind.
I really think I'm great at everything.
"Really? I am my mother's treasure." Yueyue tilted her head and felt Lan Xin's hand, and asked with a cheering face.
Yingying also squinted her eyes, and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and nod Lanxin with her head, looking very well-behaved.
"Yes, both of you are my treasures, my big babies!" Lan Xin was not afraid of being corny at all, and her words were so disgusting.
Knowing the mistake, Lan Xin did not continue drawing the paper. Instead, she folded it and put it aside, then took out a piece of white paper and started drawing again.
It should not be said that it is planned. Now we can no longer rely on beautiful imaginations. We must rely on our own experience, add all the conveniences of future life, and avoid the pitfalls.
Time passed very quickly while they were writing and drawing. Yingying and Yueyue had already started yawning, and Lanxin felt her hands were a little sore. She did not continue drawing but went to bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The next day, the millet was still dried, dried, and dried.
Even because He Yaohui was fired, Lan Xin had to do the threshing work by herself. But Lan Qing and the others felt sorry for their sister, and they had just finished harvesting their rice, so they helped Lan Xin thresh the rice anyway.
When Lan Xin returned home after a busy day, she heard gossip from the villagers that He Yaohui had somehow fallen and got a bruised face and nose.
"Is it that serious after falling down?" Hearing this, Lan Xin was full of surprise and couldn't help laughing.
Could it be that God had opened his eyes and helped her punish He Yaohui, a shameless man?
"That's right. I heard that one of his front teeth fell out." Aunt Pang pursed her lips, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.
Lan Xin silently tilted her neck back to avoid it.
Aunt Fat didn't notice this and continued talking. Finally, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lan Xin and asked mysteriously.
"Lan Xin, can you tell me that there is really nothing going on between you and He Yaohui?" She continued to raise her eyebrows as she asked, looking as if she understood everything.
"Aunt Fat, there's no need to repeat this." Lan Xin said with a straight face and full of seriousness.
Auntie Fatty was a little embarrassed, "Isn't that just asking unnecessary questions?"
"What, Lan Xin, are you hiring someone to do the work?" Auntie Pang asked again with sparkling eyes. She patted her chest and said, "Don't worry about Auntie Lan Xin's work. She will do it well and she is very tight-lipped. She will never say anything nonsense."
It seems that the news of the one dollar wage last night has spread throughout the village. Now people in the whole village are trying to meet Lan Xin and want to get a job from her.
Lan Xin shook her head: "Aunt, my family has already harvested the rice, so we don't need anyone anymore."
"Is that so?" Auntie Pang looked disappointed, and then she immediately thought: "What about picking corn and pulling sweet potatoes? Didn't you plant a lot before? Can you finish it by yourself? Do you want Auntie to help you?"
I fell down, is it that serious?" Hearing this, Lan Xin was full of surprise and couldn't help laughing.
