The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside

Zhou Ziwen already has ideas about the feng shui of his home.

He planned to set up a Feng Shui layout called "Fu Lu Shou Xi".

To arrange blessings of good fortune, wealth, longevity and happiness, you need to place a water tank in your yard.

There are two water tanks in the house, but those two water tanks are used to store water. They are very practical, but not suitable to be placed in the middle of the yard.

Prepare to build one yourself.

After the water tank is built, you can raise a few goldfish in it, which means "abundance every year."

Next to the water tank, there is a rockery with some green plants planted on it, symbolizing "vitality".

The four corners of the yard also need to be renovated and different mascots should be placed there.

A Pixiu is placed in the southeast corner, symbolizing "attracting wealth and treasure"; a Qilin is placed in the southwest corner, symbolizing "auspiciousness"; a statue of Guan Gong is placed in the northeast corner, representing "justice and majesty"; and a Ruyi is placed in the northwest corner, symbolizing "everything goes well".

There is also a living room in the house, with a landscape painting on the wall. The mountains and water in the painting are interdependent, which means "the mountain is stable and the water flows long."

The sofas in the living room are arranged in a circle, with a coffee table in the middle and a fruit plate on the table. Some fresh fruits can be placed on the fruit plate, which symbolizes "reunion and happiness."

In the bedroom, the bed needs to be placed against the wall, and this does not need to be adjusted.

There should be a photo of a couple at the head of the bed, which symbolizes "harmony between husband and wife".

Both sides of the bed...the kitchen...the windows...the bathroom, etc. all need to be remodeled according to the "Fu Lu Shou Xi" pattern.

Zhou Ziwen calculated that he would need a lot of things to complete the Feng Shui pattern of "happiness, wealth, longevity and happiness".

Stone jars, rockery, four mascots, landscape paintings, coffee tables, fruit plates...

Stone jars and rockery are easy to make. His stonemasonry skills are almost at level ten, so it is not difficult to make these things.

As for landscape painting, his painting skills are only level five. Although he has acquired a certain painting foundation and techniques and can draw some more vivid works, there is still room for improvement in details and expression.

It is possible to draw some simple landscape paintings, which can express the general shape and artistic conception of the landscape, but compared with the works of professional painters, they may lack some delicacy and charm.

However, for general decoration needs, this level is sufficient.

Zhou Ziwen planned to make a painting first, and then change it when his skill level was higher.

Do it as soon as you think of it. Zhou Ziwen decided to do it one by one, first making the objects that need to be made of stone, and then do the others.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen holding tools and getting ready to go out, the two sisters and Shen Zhaodi were a little curious.

"Brother Ziwen, where are you going?" Chen Qiaoyi couldn't help but ask.

"I'll get some stones to make stone jars and rockery." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.

"Don't we have a stone jar at home? Why do we need to make one?" Chen Qiaoyi was a little puzzled.

"Haha, this stone jar is for viewing, and so is the rockery."

Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile and winked at her.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen's eyes, Chen Qiaoyi instantly understood.

Zhou Ziwen had not hidden the matter of Feng Shui from them, and after getting a look from him, Chen Qiaoyi knew what was going on.

"So that's how it is. Then Brother Ziwen, you should go quickly!" Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go first." Zhou Ziwen nodded, then went out with his tools.

There were a lot of things to be built this time, so he planned to go to the quarry outside the village.

There are a lot of stones over there, and the distance is not far, so it is convenient to mine.

After a while, Zhou Ziwen arrived at the quarry.

Relying on his superb stonemason skills, he quickly found a good place.

After choosing a location, he started to work and mined the necessary stones.

With his strength, mining stones is certainly easy.

He used tools skillfully to mine the stones one by one.

Soon, he had mined enough stones.

After mining the stones, he did not delay and went home right away.

After several trips back and forth, we finally carried all the stones back home before lunch.

It's because he is very strong, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get it back in a while.

After returning home, Zhou Ziwen put down his tools and washed the dust off his face.

Here, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying have already prepared lunch.

"Ziwen, it's time to eat." Chen Shiying said.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Zhou Ziwen agreed.

The dining table was filled with sumptuous dishes.

There is the braised pork made by Chen Shiying, which is delicious and fat but not greasy; there are also the stir-fried vegetables made by Chen Qiaoyi, which are refreshing, delicious and nutritious.

Zhou Ziwen sat down and started to enjoy his lunch. While he was eating, he chatted with the two sisters.

"Brother Ziwen, you've worked hard today. Eat more meat." Chen Qiaoyi picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Zhou Ziwen's bowl.

"You should eat more too, don't just focus on me." Zhou Ziwen also picked up a piece of meat for Chen Qiaoyi, and then picked up a piece of meat for Chen Shiying, aiming to give the best to everyone.

"Brother Ziwen, did you know that Zhou Chaoyang cooked for himself at home today?" Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"Oh? He cooks for himself? Is it edible?" Zhou Ziwen was a little surprised.

He also didn't expect that Zhou Chaoyang would take action so quickly.

"Who knows, but he said he wanted to learn how to cook so he wouldn't have to trouble Zhaodi in the future." Chen Qiaoyi said with a smile.

"That's a good thing. Learning to cook is also a form of exercise for him." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

"Yes, if he can really learn to cook, he will be able to take care of himself in the future." Chen Shiying also agreed with a smile.

"Well, when he learns it, we'll go and try his cooking." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it too." Chen Qiaoyi's eyes lit up.

The three of them ate and chatted at the same time, and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant.

After dinner, Zhou Ziwen did not rest but started making stone jars and rockery.

He first screened the mined stones and selected those suitable for making stone jars and rockery.

Then he began to build the stone jar.

His stonemasonry skills were almost at the maximum level, so it was not difficult for him to make a stone jar.

He used tools skillfully to polish the stone into shape bit by bit.

Before long, an exquisite stone jar was completed.

The shape of the stone jar is simple and elegant, and the surface is smooth and delicate without any flaws.

Zhou Ziwen is very satisfied with this stone jar and believes that it will add a lot of beauty to the yard.

Next, he began to make the rockery.

The production of rockery is more complicated than that of stone jar, requiring more carving and splicing skills.

But this is not a problem for Zhou Ziwen.

He carefully designed the shape and layout of the rockery, and then began to make it.

He first carved the stone into the various parts of the rockery, and then pieced these parts together.

In the process of splicing, he also cleverly used the natural texture and shape of the stone to make the rockery look more realistic and natural.

After an afternoon of hard work, the rockery was finally completed.
