Siheyuan: A young man starts a game and ignores the law

Chapter 300 We dare not start construction easily

Su Ming was grateful for the help of the old craftsman and realized more deeply that protecting and restoring the courtyard house requires not only modern technology and craftsmanship, but also the inheritance and development of traditional craftsmanship. Only by combining modern technology and traditional craftsmanship can this precious cultural heritage be better protected and passed on.

As the restoration work progressed, Su Ming discovered that the Siheyuan is not only a form of architecture, but also a way of life and a cultural carrier. It carries the memories and emotions of generations and witnesses the changes of history and the development of the times. In the Siheyuan, people get along with each other and share the joy of family. This kind of close relationship between people is lacking in modern urban life.

Su Ming realized that protecting the Siheyuan culture is not only about repairing the buildings themselves, but more importantly, protecting the connotation and spirit of this culture. He began to organize some cultural activities, inviting residents and young people in the Siheyuan to participate in them, recreating traditional festivals and customs, and letting everyone feel the charm of the Siheyuan through participation. He also cooperated with some cultural institutions to carry out research and publicity work on Siheyuan culture, striving to make more people understand and love Siheyuan culture.

Thanks to Su Ming's unremitting efforts, more and more people have begun to pay attention to and participate in the protection of Siheyuan. The Beijing Municipal Government has also increased its efforts to protect Siheyuan and introduced a series of policies and measures to encourage and support the protection and restoration of Siheyuan. With the joint efforts of the whole society, the Siheyuan culture of old Beijing has taken on new vitality.

However, Su Ming was not satisfied with this. He knew that the protection and inheritance of Siheyuan was a long and arduous task that required the unremitting efforts of generations. He decided to move forward and lead his team to invest more energy and resources in the protection and inheritance of Siheyuan.

As time went by, Su Ming gradually became an authority in the field of Siheyuan protection. His deeds were widely reported by the media and became a model for protecting and inheriting the old Beijing culture. Many young people were influenced by him and joined the work of protecting Siheyuan, forming a powerful social force.

Despite facing many challenges and difficulties, Su Ming never gave up. He firmly believed that as long as he persevered, the Siheyuan culture of old Beijing would be better protected and passed on. Under his leadership, this precious cultural heritage would be passed down from generation to generation and become the pride of old Beijing and the entire Chinese nation.

One evening, Su Ming had just finished a day's work and dragged his somewhat exhausted body back to the courtyard. Pushing open the heavy mahogany door, he was greeted by the familiar sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, which made him feel a little warm and relaxed. He glanced at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard and said with a smile, "You little guys are still so fragrant."

He put down the blueprint and toolbox in his hand, walked into the house, and lit a few old oil lamps. There are still many old objects in the courtyard, each of which is full of historical charm. Su Ming sat on the rattan chair that his grandfather once loved most, closed his eyes, and seemed to hear his grandfather's familiar voice echoing in his ears.

"The Siheyuan in old Beijing is not only a building, but also the home of several generations of us."

This sentence was once deeply engraved in Su Ming's heart and became the driving force for his perseverance.

At this time, Su Ming suddenly thought of Xiao Dang, whom he had not contacted for many days. Xiao Dang was his childhood playmate, and they grew up together and were as close as siblings. After growing up, Xiao Dang went to work in the south, and the two gradually contacted less and less, but their friendship remained unchanged. Su Ming took out his mobile phone and called Xiao Dang, but no one answered the call.

He frowned and said to himself, "This girl, has she forgotten me?" He was a little worried. He decided to ask Jia Dongxu to help contact Xiaodang. Jia Dongxu was their mutual friend and had a good relationship with Xiaodang.

"Jia Dongxu, can you contact Xiaodang?" Su Ming dialed Jia Dongxu's number.

Jia Dongxu's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of smile: "Lao Su, why did you suddenly think of Xiaodang? I haven't contacted her for so long, are you missing her?"

Su Ming smiled helplessly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I just want to ask her for help with something, but the phone call is not going through. Can you contact her?"

Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and said, "I'll give it a try. She seems to be very busy recently. I'll tell you as soon as I have any news."

After hanging up the phone, Su Ming felt a little relieved. He stood up, walked to the yard, and stared at the osmanthus tree in a trance. A few osmanthus petals fell to the ground. He bent down to pick up one and looked at it carefully. The petals were soft and fragrant, as if it was a kind of remembrance of the past years.

At this time, the courtyard door opened gently, and a familiar figure walked in. Su Ming looked up and saw that it was Uncle Li, his next-door neighbor and one of the participants in the courtyard renovation project.

"Su Ming, have you been busy all day?" Uncle Li greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle Li, how come you have time to come here today?" Su Ming greeted him with a smile, "It's just right, I just made some tea, let's have a cup together."

Uncle Li nodded, and the two sat at the stone table in the yard. Su Ming brought two cups of steaming hot tea and handed one to Uncle Li. The fragrance of tea filled the air, and Su Ming blew gently on the surface of the tea, took a sip, and felt the warmth of the tea penetrate into his body, dispelling some fatigue.

"Su Ming, I heard that the renovation of the courtyard house you have been doing very well recently. You have done a great job." Uncle Li said approvingly.

Su Ming smiled and said modestly: "We have to thank the old craftsman for his help. Without his experience, we would not dare to start the work easily."

Uncle Li nodded in agreement. "The old craftsmen are really good. Some of the skills were almost lost in the hands of our generation. It's a good thing that young people like you are taking over now."

As the two chatted, the sky gradually darkened. Su Ming glanced at his phone, but still had no news from Jia Dongxu. He felt anxious. Uncle Li saw what he was thinking and asked, "Who are you waiting for news from?"

"Yes, I want to contact an old friend, but I can't get through on the phone." Su Ming replied.

Uncle Li nodded and said earnestly: "People nowadays are too busy. Sometimes we still need to contact more and care more. After all, friends are one of the most important treasures in life."

Su Ming agreed deeply and nodded, "Uncle Li, you are right. Although I am busy with work now, I cannot neglect the friendship between friends."

As he was talking, Su Ming's phone vibrated. It was a text message from Jia Dongxu. He quickly opened his phone and saw the message saying, "Xiao Dang is busy with a big project recently, so it may not be convenient for her to answer the phone. I have left her a message, and she will contact you when she sees it."
