Chapter 326 The Afternoon Passes Quietly
Su Ming took the basket with a smile, and his heart was warmed because there was an old hen in the basket. Huaihua was one of the older residents in their courtyard, and she was very caring towards Su Ming and Su Xiaolin. She often sent some vegetables grown by herself or poultry raised at home to express her care and blessings for them.
"Thank you, Mom. I will tell Aunt Huaihua. You just do your thing. I will take care of myself." Su Ming smiled gently, looking at his mother's hurried back, his heart filled with gratitude and warmth.
Su Ming put the basket aside in the yard and looked up at every building in the courtyard. Although he was facing a ruin that had not yet been developed and completed, in his eyes, it was full of infinite possibilities and hope. Every house and every inch of land was part of their dream of reviving culture and art.
"Brother Ming, this chicken looks good." Su Xiaolin walked over with a smile, looked at the old hen in the basket, and said with a smile.
Su Ming smiled and said, "Yes, it was sent by Aunt Huaihua. She always cares about us so much, it's really touching."
Su Xiaolin nodded and said, "She is a good person and has deep feelings for our courtyard."
The two of them walked around the courtyard, savoring the quadrangle that was about to be reborn. Although it was only in its infancy, every detail represented their unremitting efforts and belief in the inheritance of culture and art.
The afternoon sun gradually moved westward, shining obliquely on every bluestone slab in the yard, reflecting a faint golden color. Su Ming and Su Xiaolin walked to a corner of the yard, sat on an old-fashioned wooden chair, and stared ahead.
"Brother Ming, what is our next plan?" Su Xiaolin asked with concern.
Su Ming pondered for a moment, then said: "First, we must ensure that the restoration of infrastructure and buildings proceeds in an orderly manner. I have contacted several local construction teams. They are very interested in our project and are willing to provide technical and construction support."
Su Xiaolin nodded in agreement. She knew that technical and professional support was crucial in such a complex project. She added: "We must also continue to promote our cultural and artistic activities to attract more attention and support. Perhaps through exhibitions and lectures, we can let more people know about our project."
Su Ming nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, this is very important for the long-term development of the project. We are not just restoring a building, but also inheriting and promoting the spirit of a culture and art."
Their conversation was full of confidence and determination. Despite facing many unknowns and challenges, they believed that as long as they stick to their original intentions, this courtyard project will surely become a part of the city's culture and bring beauty and reflection to people.
While they were talking, there was another knock on the gate of the courtyard. Su Ming stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a wide-brimmed hat standing outside the door, with a familiar yet unfamiliar smile on his face.
"Hello, I'm Wang Jianguo. I heard that you were reviving this courtyard house, so I came here specially to see it." The middle-aged man introduced himself with a smile.
Su Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, a little wary of the sudden stranger, but still politely invited him in.
"Please come in. Who are you? What can I do for you?" Su Ming asked politely.
Wang Jianguo walked into the yard, looked around, and said with a smile: "I am a cultural and art enthusiast nearby. I heard that what you are going to do is very interesting, so I came here to see if I can participate or support it."
Su Ming and Su Xiaolin exchanged glances, seeing a hint of surprise and doubt in each other's eyes. They were somewhat surprised by Wang Jianguo's sudden appearance and the intentions he expressed.
"You mean, you are interested in our project?" Su Xiaolin asked tentatively.
Wang Jianguo nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard from my friends that you have a plan to revive culture and art here. I am a senior art collector and am willing to provide some support and help for your project."
Su Ming and Wang Jianguo sat down in the courtyard and talked about the development of the project and future possibilities. Wang Jianguo expressed his strong interest in Su Ming's cultural and artistic revival plan, and also put forward some of his personal experience and insights in the field of art. He is a senior art collector and has deep feelings and understanding for the promotion and protection of culture and art.
Su Ming and Su Xiaolin were both surprised by Wang Jianguo's arrival, but were also very happy to meet such a like-minded person. At his suggestion, they decided to introduce Wang Jianguo to the project's advisory team to jointly explore strategies for future exhibitions, cultural activities, and art collection and protection.
Wang Jianguo was full of curiosity and appreciation for every detail in the courtyard. He walked to every house and carefully observed the structure and historical traces of the building. Su Ming accompanied him through this historical land, sharing their revitalization plan and love for culture and art.
"There are indeed many things that can be done here." Wang Jianguo said with deep emotion, "The inheritance and development of culture and art is our responsibility, and it is also the most precious wealth we leave to future generations."
Su Ming smiled and nodded, feeling warm in his heart for Wang Jianguo's affirmation. This kind of support and understanding from art lovers is of great significance to their project. He said: "It is because of friends like you who have a deep understanding and enthusiastic support for culture and art that our project can go further and achieve more possibilities."
Accompanied by Wang Jianguo, they walked around every corner of the courtyard, discussing how to restore each house into a place to showcase different art forms, and how to arrange courtyards and corridors to make this a cultural gathering place that attracts artists, scholars and enthusiasts.
The afternoon passed quietly, and the setting sun shone obliquely on the ancient bluestone slabs, reflecting the figures of Su Ming and Wang Jianguo in the yard. Their conversation was full of passion for art and culture, and longing and expectation for the future.
At the same time, Su Xiaolin was quietly preparing for a small cultural lecture in a corner of the yard. She spread out the table, placed materials and prepared tea, ready to welcome those who were interested in culture and art.
Suddenly, a figure walked quickly from the gate of the courtyard. It was Huaihua, holding a small basket. She saw Su Xiaolin's busy figure and walked over with a smile on her face.
"Miss Xiaolin, I brought you some cakes and tea. I hope you like them." Huaihua put the basket on the table and hurriedly took out the cakes and arranged them while speaking.
