Deep courtyard

When Huang Yuan took out the key to open the door, it occurred to him that someone was allowed to enter in the middle of the night?But then he laughed at himself, what else can people remember about the current Huang family?

Huang Yuan pointed to the peeled double sofa: "Please sit down, I'll go in and have a look."

Entering the master bedroom, I found that the light had been turned off. With the light in the hall, I saw Mother Huang and Lei Lei lying side by side on the bed. The two tired people had already fallen asleep, breathing softly one after another.If Huang's mother didn't take the initiative to speak, Lei Lei would not have slept in her bed. Seeing this scene, Huang Yuan felt a little relieved.

Gently closing the door, Huang Yuan poured Pu Jiang a glass of water. There is not even good tea or drinks at home. He wanted to ask Pu Jiang directly what the proposal meant, but he was afraid that the other party would look down on his eagerness.

"Mother Zhang... are you okay?" Huang Yuan murmured for a long time before asking.

Mama Zhang is not a few years older than Mother Huang, and Mother Huang gave birth to Huang Yuan very late, so although Mama Zhang is of the same generation as Mother Huang, she gets along with Huang Yuan more like grandparents and grandchildren.Even if Mama Zhang is still in good health, she is nearly 70, and it is unrealistic for her to take care of Mother Huang again.

Pu Jiang didn't give up, picked up the water glass and took a big sip before saying: "Mother Zhang is doing well now, she just climbs the mountain to cultivate the vegetable fields every day."

"Mountain climbing? Vegetable field?" It means that Mama Zhang is not in the city, nor has she returned to the town where her children live?

"Well, I just said that there is a nursing home. I invested in it. It is in your father's hometown, that is, Zhang Ma's hometown. It is not far from Shanghai, a three-hour drive."

Huang Yuan was really stunned.

"You know I'm working as a B&B now. I've been looking for a suitable place for the past two years. Once I happened to meet Zhang's mother in a remote valley. Do you think it's a coincidence?" Pu Jiang rolled his eyes and grinned proudly He smiled, baring his big white teeth, making Huang Yuan feel a little dazed, as if... Wang Baoqiang's smile...

——Bah, bah, bah!Come back from this devilish smile quickly!Obviously she looks so tall and refined now...why do you make such an expression!

"At that time, Zhang's mother was not in good health. She said that she was not used to living with her children, and their lives were under great pressure, so she moved back to her hometown by herself. But there were only a dozen families left in the valley, only the elderly and children, and there were many empty houses. , life is very inconvenient.”

——Two years ago?At that time, my mother had just sent Zhang Ma away.

"I don't know if you have been there. Although it is a bit remote, there are green mountains and green waters. The natural scenery and cultural environment are very good, and there is an undeveloped hot spring nearby, which is very suitable for homestay. So I put those The vacant house is rented out on a 20-year or [-]-year lease. At the same time, we contracted the nearby farmland with the village, including the mountain bag near the hot spring, and built a road around the mountain to connect the nearest highway entrance and exit. After the homestay is completed, in addition to professional managers, I also hired Mama Zhang and her relocated children to take care of me, and my living conditions improved, and my family came back to me, and I had things to do for her every day, and Mama Zhang’s body and mood improved a lot.”

——It turns out that this is the case. For Mama Zhang, what could be happier than living in her hometown to provide for the elderly.

"It was Zhang Ma who gave me the inspiration. Not only did I want to build a boutique homestay there, but I also wanted to build a sanatorium in the mountains, equipped with medical staff and equipment, and organized activities like yoga, worshiping Buddha, and thinking training. Chess and card room, gymnasium, where the high-quality air and quiet environment are most suitable for retirement and recuperation.”

——It has to be said that this person is very economically savvy, and each project is aimed at the pain points of urban residents, middle class and wealthy people.

Huang's father's hometown, Huangyuan, has never been there. He only heard Huang's mother say that it is a remote village. If it is developed and connected with roads, it will be different.Those high-end activities for self-cultivation are just an excuse to cater to urban people who want to temporarily escape the pressure of the city, but for people like my mother and Zhang Ma, it is really helpful.

"So, would you like to send your mother there to try?"

Huang Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard it all the way, except for himself and Lei Lei now, Mama Zhang has always been the most dependent and trusted person in Huang's life, there is no more reassuring plan than this.

"This valley, I call it 'Daigo Valley'. You can find out about it on the Internet, especially in terms of medical care, because now more and more recuperators are accepted, and most of them are far away from the city. They choose to recuperate there, and they are somewhat troubled psychologically. We are also planning to hire a psychological counselor to stay in the valley.”

Huang Yuan could tell that this "Daigo Valley" was not an ordinary homestay, it was high-end and comprehensive, so he hesitated and asked, "Can I ask about the cost..."

"Mother Zhang's family was hired by me. If Mrs. Huang is also willing to serve as our promotion consultant, I think they will cooperate well with each other. In addition, all service contents are benefits to employees."

——Benefits...that is to say, as long as you serve as a promotion consultant, there will be free recuperation there?

"Promotion consultant?"

"Well, we need to introduce and promote our project to visitors or those who need it. With Mrs. Huang's previous social skills, I think it shouldn't be a problem."

——Indeed, this is not difficult for a mother who was good at making friends and flattering people in the past, as long as she overcomes her psychological gap in the past two years.If you have old friends and a new career, your mother will definitely be able to regain her vitality, and then she can use her own situation as a positive case for promotion.

Pu Jiang continued to throw chips: "Also, your father can also take it there for recuperation. That's his hometown, isn't it?"

Huang Yuan raised his head from the weighing and thinking, obviously moved.

"Although your father's condition is not good, it has basically stabilized. With all due respect, recovery is impossible and long-term care is needed. With your mother by his side, his condition must be worse than being alone in the past two years." It’s good to be in the Shanghai nursing home.”

——Indeed, although I would visit my father with Lei Lei every weekend, I could tell from his eyes that he missed his wife.It wasn't that my mother didn't want to see him, but she couldn't accept the great changes in the family for a while, and couldn't watch her partner collapse like this suddenly.After my mother vaguely felt that she had been cheated, she couldn't bear it. She came to the hospital to see her husband for decades for the last time before climbing onto the window sill.

If the parents can live with Zhang Ma in peace of mind, what better ending could there be?And it's not far from Shanghai, so you can visit them every weekend.

Hope ignited in Huang Yuan's heart.

"Of course, your father's expenses cannot be counted as employee benefits, and the number of full-time nursing beds is very tight now..." Pu Jiang's lips curled up, and he suddenly smiled slyly.

Huang Yuan was stunned, a little embarrassed, the idea was too good, and he would get carried away if he was not careful. Now the big boss obviously meant to give himself a chance to see if he couldn't get on the road, but Huang Yuan didn't know what was wrong with him now. Those who can take it out to honor Pujiang, thinking about it, his face turned cold, and asked directly:

"Even if you give me a discount, I shouldn't be able to afford it. What conditions do you have?" Huang Yuan knew in his heart that what Pujiang wanted was definitely not the cost of hospitalization. It wasn't a problem if money could solve it. Stay in Shanghai.

"Huh? I've said so much, but the meaning is not obvious enough?" Pu Jiang said with a smile, the brilliance in his eyes made Huang Yuan unclear, so he felt chills.

"?"

"I'll help you take care of your parents. Can you stay and renovate my yard with peace of mind? There should be a separate salary for being a supervisor, so you can have money to pay your father's expenses." To put it bluntly, Huang Yuan's income distribution was planned out just like that.

"..."

Going all the way around, just to keep me as his supervisor?

"And I want to help you, brother. This will make me owe a lot of favors. What do you have to pay back?"

Huang Yuan felt that he had been tricked, and almost blurted out: "I have nothing left, my parents have entrusted you, and my salary has also been entrusted to you. I am the only one left, so I can take myself!" Fortunately, staring at the profiteer Pu Jiang sitting across from him, he clenched his teeth and did not speak.

"Remember the renovation around the swimming pool in the southwest corner I mentioned to you before? We negotiated to follow the Japanese style."

——Is this what you were talking about just now?I seem to have emergency amnesia?Besides, what we negotiated, it was obviously you who set me up step by step!

Huang Yuan had a very bad premonition in his heart, and found that the holes Pu Jiang had dug for him one after another, his already chaotic head was almost overwhelmed, and now he dared not speak casually.

"I just said that there is a hot spring in Daigo Valley, but the construction has not started yet, but this hot spring is very attractive to customers who come here for leisure or for recuperation. I intend to make this hot spring a place for health preservation. It’s a Japanese-style hot spring with the theme, you shouldn’t be wronged if you exchange this project for your elder brother?”

"..." Regarding Pujiang's statement, Huang Yuan was noncommittal. This is not a conditional transaction, it is obviously a benefit of buying one and getting one free.

"I hired a Japanese hot spring master as the chief designer. The geothermal heat of the hot springs is also being surveyed. You can finish my vegetable garden first. In the next two or three months, you should carefully consider whether you want to come and help. I need someone I can trust to help. I communicate with the design party and the construction party, and of course, communicate with the local people.”

——When he said that, it seemed that the most suitable candidate was really me.

"You don't need to leave, because I still hope that W Architecture will be the construction party. If you are willing to come, you will be the Chinese design assistant of Atsushi Nogami. You need to follow up the project throughout the process, and then you need to completely connect with the design, so you need to be resident in Daigoya. Three to six months."

Jun Nogami! ?

Huang Yuan's heart was pulled hard, sore and painful, he was completely speechless, Pujiang had considered everything for him, the net laid by Pujiang was too big and too dense, just waiting for him to open his mouth, willingly landed in the center of the net.
