Yesterday I was asking about the housing prices in the community, and I bought it today?
"Yesterday afternoon I went to a nearby agent to inquire, and I happened to come across a very suitable house, so I bought it. It was in Building 12."
Li Shi now doesn't have much feeling about spending hundreds of thousands to buy a house. He was not very excited from beginning to end. After all, he bought a mansion worth more than 10 million yuan in the provincial capital and a Bentley car worth several million yuan.
"You are too quick to act. Are you still in the county? Let's meet in the evening to catch up on old times?"
"Okay, when will you get off work?"
"At six o'clock, call Xiao Li and have a meal together. Xiao Li's family is also in our community. From now on, we will all be neighbors."
Xiao Li?
After all, high school was much closer than junior high school. Li Shi suddenly remembered that Xiao Li was the former sports committee member. He often played basketball with Peng Yangyang, the top student in Class 136 next door. The last time he asked about Peng Yangyang in the high school QQ group, he was the one who said Peng Yangyang went to study abroad and married a white wife.
"OK."
When they arrived at the studio in Building 7, Guo Ying was painting with three students in the living room. Gao Mei came to open the door and led him to the second bedroom next to him.
There was no bed in the second bedroom, and there was a work table and several chairs on the gray imitation wood floor.
"We have classes here."
Gao Mei was very capable. He held a laptop, opened a ppt, and said: "Let me first talk about the course outline that I will study in the future. This is how I planned it. The whole course is divided into four stages. The first stage has three classes. We will talk about Basic knowledge of sketching, basic observation methods...three lines, the law of light and dark changes, etc."
"The second phase consists of twenty lessons, from simple geometric combinations to the modeling rules of various combined geometric bodies, and then to..."
The two of them were in class when they suddenly raised their heads and looked at the door.
I saw Guo Ying walking over, standing at the door and smiling at them: "It's better to close the door, otherwise it will be too soundproof."
After saying that, he held the door handle and closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help turning his head to glance at Gao Mei's face with facial features, thinking that it was thanks to his good character.
Gao Mei frowned when she saw that her boyfriend thought she was too loud and came over to close the open door. However, she didn't say anything and continued the lecture: "The third stage... full factor knowledge explanation, Control colors and tones, reality and reality, space, the laws of strength and weakness, the laws of trade-offs, the laws of color..."
"The fourth stage...the last is landscape sketching and portrait sketching."
"We teach one-on-one, and the class hours are estimated. The final progress depends on your learning effect. If you learn quickly, I will teach faster. If you learn slowly, I will teach slower."
While listening, Li Shi estimated in his mind that according to Teacher Gao's syllabus, after completing the four stages, he would definitely reach (Proficient+).
"Okay, we are now officially in the first lesson."
…
He went to class from three to six in the afternoon. After class, Li Shi packed up his things and left. Gao Mei immediately came to the master bedroom, the only room with a bed, and slapped her boyfriend Guo Ying, who was playing on his mobile phone, hard. Hit him on the arm.
"It hurts, what are you doing?" Guo Ying complained, holding the beaten arm.
Gao Mei said angrily: "Who asked you to come over and close the door? Your girlfriend is alone in a room with another man. Are you so relieved?"
Guo Ying smiled sarcastically and said, "In broad daylight..."
After chatting for a while, Guo Ying asked about the class: "How is this student? Is it easy to lead?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Gao Mei immediately remembered what happened in class and sighed: "You don't know, even though I just took the first class, I feel that this student is a bit special. I was surprised by him several times today."
Guo Ying asked quickly.
Gao Mei said: "He is very talented. He can understand everything he says. His hands are very steady and his line drawing is excellent. His touch, if nothing else, will at least make him a master of copying in the future."
Li Shi came out of the studio, went to the underground garage first, took a spare set of toiletries and a change of clothes from the trunk of the car, went to Building 1201, and took a shower in the newly purchased house.
He took a quick shower and came out eight minutes later. Gu Shuting just sent a message: "Li Shi, we have arrived at the gate of the community. Where are you?"
"I'll be right away."
Li Shi sped up his movements and arrived at the gate of the community a few minutes later. He saw Gu Shuting again in casual clothes and looking slim.
There was also a tall, fat man standing next to her. Li Shi could vaguely recognize him. He should be Xiao Li.
After not seeing each other for many years, the once tall and thin sports committee member has become a fat man weighing at least 180 pounds.
We said hello and chatted for a while at the gate of the community. Because we were old classmates and had studied in the same classroom for three years. Although we hadn't seen each other for a long time, at least there was no awkwardness like strangers.
Compared to being shy and introverted in junior high school, Li Shi had a more cheerful personality in high school and got along much better with his classmates.
After talking for a while, Xiao Li proposed to go to a restaurant in People’s Square to eat braised sand turtles with green peppers.
"Let's go, I'll drive."
Xiao Li's car was parked on the roadside at the door. It was a black Buick. It looked good. Li Shi didn't know the specific model.
Considering that there were two boys and a girl, he wanted to take the passenger seat, but before he could walk over, Xiao Li had already rushed to open the passenger door and looked at Gu Shuting: "How about Shu Ting, this time I'm a gentleman enough."
Gu Shuting walked over and said, "There is no need for gentlemen among our old classmates. What I said last time was that when you pursue a girl, you must be a gentleman."
Xiao Li closed the door and said to Li Shi with a smile: "You are a man, so I won't open the car door for you."
Li Shi smiled and thought, it seems that they are in constant contact, and this Xiao Li seems to have ideas about the squad leader.
People's Square is the only large square in the county and is well-deserved as the commercial core. The most lively place in the entire county is in the square area, surrounded by all kinds of businesses such as eating, drinking, and having fun.
Xiao Li was familiar with the road and went directly to a restaurant called "Sansao Sand Turtle". After entering, he found a private room and sat down. After ordering the meal, after the waiter left, he introduced: "The sand turtle in this restaurant is the best." , we often come here when our company has dinner.”
As he spoke, he smiled and said to Li Shi: "Old classmate, I heard that you also bought a suite in our community today. If you need to renovate it later, just contact me and I will give you the best discount."
He said and handed over a business card.
Li Shi took it and took a look - Xiao Li, general manager of Zhaoyang Mingdian Decoration Design Engineering Co., Ltd.
"Okay, I'll definitely come to you if I need anything." He accepted the business card with a smile.
Li Shi's understatement made Xiao Li stunned for a moment. He expected that the three words "General Manager" on the business card would arouse some exclamation and envy.
Xiao Li first glanced at Gu Shuting opposite who was answering a message on her mobile phone, and then while pouring tea, he said to Li Shi in a casual chatting tone: "Which building did you buy? Our company did the decoration of many houses in our community. Maybe I also know that, by the way, the national money is tightening now. If you need to apply for a mortgage, you'd better go to the bank and submit the documents. Now you have to queue up and wait for approval, and it may take a long time."
