The next moment, both of them widened their eyes in surprise.
This was… a blueprint? It was as if a house was clearly displayed in front of them. It was obvious at a glance.
Madam Zhou also took a closer look. Even a layman like her felt that this house was really beautiful.
Gu Yundong took out two more blueprints. The first one was a diagram of the entire house, just like the modern house from a high perspective. The second one was an internal structural diagram with various sizes and the location of the room. The third one was the details of the interior of the room.
After looking at the three blueprints, both Feng Daneng and Chen Liang could not help but swallow hard.
“Yundong, this, this was drawn by you?” Chen Liang found it unbelievable. “You’ve studied? You know how to write?” There were many words written on it.
Gu Yundong nodded. “My father can read and write. He taught me.”
In fact, these three drawings were very crude. The main reason was that her time was limited. What exquisite thing could she hand over in just one afternoon? But this was enough. What she wanted to build was not a pavilion or a palace temple. It was just a brick house of a farmer.
But even so, Feng Daneng couldn’t help but look at it again and again.
He had been building houses for so many years and had always been dictated or explained to by the hirer. How could there be such a detailed blueprint that gave such a clear and intuitive image?
When he was in the prefectural city, he had seen a large stack of drawings when a rich family was building a house. However, he felt that it was… different from what he was seeing now.
In short, Feng Daneng felt that after reading Gu Yundong’s blueprint, his mind would immediately picture the appearance of the house. It was too convenient.
“Uncle Feng, this blueprint only has a rough structure. There are many details that 1 need Uncle Feng to tell me. If there’s anything 1 need, I’ll add it.” “Alright, come, come, let’s talk about it in detail. Hey, how did you draw this? This door is really beautiful, and the windows are also beautiful. It’s quite interesting to have flowers on both sides of the door. The flowers are also lifelike, and what does this semicircle mean…”
Gu Yundong was speechless.
Just as she was holding her forehead, she saw a six or seven-year-old child walk in and quietly approach Gu Yunshu. “All Shu, 1’11 bring you out to play.”
This was the village chief’s grandson, Niu Dan. His real name was Chen Jingwen. He had already met Gu Yunshu yesterday. When Gu Yundong went to visit the homestead, the two children were chatting quite happily.
Gu Yundong thought that she would be very busy from now on. The two children would also be very bored by her side, so she nodded and let Gu Yunshu go. She only reminded him to take good care of Gu Yunke.
Unexpectedly, the little girl shook her head firmly with her arms crossed. “I won’t talk to Older Brother today.” Who asked Older Brother to call her Fat Girl this morning?
Gu Yundong could not help but laugh. Niu Dan dragged Gu Yunshu away.
As soon as he went out, Gu Yunshu asked Niu Dan to bring him to the homestead at the foot of the mountain to take a look. He did not have time to look at it yesterday.
Niu Dan familiarly led him to the place. “In the future, if your family is here, it will be easy to go up the mountain. Let me tell you, there are rabbits and pheasants on our mountain. Last time, my brother caught two pheasants and roasted them. Unfortunately, I couldn’t catch them.”
“My sister is very powerful. She will definitely be able to catch them.”
“Then the next time your eldest sister catches them, I’ll go to your house to eat.”
“Hey, isn’t this the young master from yesterday?” Just as the two of them were fantasizing about the future, they heard a discordant voice behind them. They turned around and saw four or five children in their teens standing behind them.
One of them pointed at Gu Yunshu and said, “Hey, you have candy on you, right? Take it out for us to eat. Hurry up.”
Was this person a bandit? Big Sister had said that one had to be as cold and heartless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves when dealing with bandits.
Gu Yunshu pulled a long face, but before he could be heartless, the four or five children suddenly stared behind him with expressions as if they had seen a ghost..
