Chapter 335: Spend Unforgettable Moments
Every day, Su Ming personally participated in the repair work. He learned how to deal with wood worms, how to use traditional techniques to repair carved window lattices, and how to mix ancient vermilion lacquer. In the process, he not only mastered many skills, but more importantly, he gained a deeper understanding of the lives of his ancestors in this courtyard.
One day, when Su Ming was clearing the weeds in the backyard of the main house, he accidentally found a stone slab buried in the soil. The stone slab was engraved with dense small characters, like an ancient poem. He wiped it clean carefully and found that it was a stone tablet recording the genealogy of the Su family. This discovery made Su Ming very excited, because it was not only another witness to the family history, but also a precious clue for him to further understand the lives of his ancestors.
Su Ming found a few friends who knew ancient Chinese and studied the text on the stone tablet together. From them, he learned many stories about the ancestors of the Su family. Some ancestors were successful candidates in the Qing Dynasty, some served as officials in the capital, and some were famous for their poems and essays. The glorious deeds of these ancestors made Su Ming feel proud of his family.
As the renovation work progressed, the courtyard gradually regained its former glory. Under the ancient locust tree, Su Ming bought a stone table and several stone benches. Every evening, he liked to sit here and watch the sunset. The golden sunlight shined through the leaves into the courtyard, giving people a peaceful and beautiful feeling.
The renovation of the Siheyuan attracted the attention of neighbors and some ancient architecture enthusiasts. Many people came to visit, and Su Ming warmly received them and told them about the history and renovation process of the Siheyuan. Gradually, the Siheyuan became a small cultural center where everyone exchanged ideas and shared their love for ancient architecture and experience in protecting it.
One day, an old man in his seventies came to visit. He said his surname was Liu and he had lived in this courtyard when he was a child. After hearing this, Su Ming warmly invited the old man in and showed him the renovated courtyard. Mr. Liu looked at the familiar plants and trees, tears flashing in his eyes, and said excitedly: "This is exactly the same as what I saw when I was a child!"
Mr. Liu began to tell Su Ming stories about his childhood in the courtyard. At that time, there were several families living in the courtyard, and everyone lived in harmony and spent many happy times together. He especially mentioned that his grandfather Su Bowen was a learned elder who often told everyone historical stories and poems in the courtyard, and the children loved to listen.
Listening to Mr. Liu's narration, Su Ming seemed to see the vibrant courtyard, with children playing in the yard, elders drinking tea and chatting under the trees, and the whole yard filled with a warm atmosphere. This made Su Ming more determined to build the courtyard into a place for cultural exchange.
As time went by, the reputation of the Siheyuan grew. Many artists, scholars and history enthusiasts came to visit and hold various cultural activities here, such as poetry readings, calligraphy and painting exhibitions and traditional music performances. Su Ming also met many like-minded friends, and they worked together to protect and pass on Chinese traditional culture.
The renovation and maintenance of the Siheyuan requires a lot of money and energy, but Su Ming has never regretted it. He knows that this is not only for himself and his family, but also for those who love traditional culture. Whenever he sees people in the Siheyuan laughing and finding inner peace and happiness here, Su Ming feels extremely satisfied and gratified.
At a cultural exchange meeting, Su Ming met a young painter named Li Xin. Li Xin had a strong interest in ancient architecture, and her paintings were full of love and praise for traditional culture. Su Ming was deeply moved by her works, and the two soon became close friends.
Li Xin often came to the Siheyuan to paint. Under her brush, the ancient locust tree became more vivid, and the carved window lattices seemed to have life. Her works attracted more and more viewers and brought more attention and support to the Siheyuan. The two found resonance in their common interests and hobbies, and gradually, Su Ming found that he had developed feelings for Li Xin that went beyond friendship.
On a sunny afternoon, Su Ming and Li Xin sat under an ancient locust tree, drinking tea and chatting. Su Ming mustered up the courage to confess his feelings to Li Xin. Li Xin looked at him with a smile and said softly, "Actually, I have liked you for a long time, but I didn't dare to say it out loud." The two smiled at each other and held each other's hands tightly.
Since then, Li Xin has become a part of the Siheyuan. She not only creates here, but also participates in the repair and maintenance of the courtyard. The two work together to make the Siheyuan more beautiful and full of vitality.
The story of Siheyuan continues, and the love between Su Ming and Li Xin takes root here. They firmly believe that as long as there is love in their hearts, any difficulties can be overcome. In the future, they will continue to protect this Siheyuan that carries countless memories and dreams, making it a beautiful home in the hearts of generations.
The love story of Su Ming and Li Xin became a legend in the Siheyuan, attracting more people to visit and experience this beauty. Gradually, the Siheyuan became a holy place for love that many couples yearn for. Everyone made a wish here, hoping to have a beautiful and long-lasting love like Su Ming and Li Xin.
Su Ming and Li Xin also started to organize some special events, such as couples' calligraphy and painting competitions, traditional wedding exhibitions, etc., to let more people understand and love traditional culture. Every festival, the courtyard is always bustling with people feeling the atmosphere of traditional festivals, tasting delicious food, enjoying performances, and spending unforgettable moments.
Siheyuan is not only the home of Su Ming and Li Xin, but also the place where they realize their dreams. They co-founded a cultural communication company dedicated to promoting and protecting traditional culture. The company's office is located in the Siheyuan, and many employees have deep feelings for it. They work together and grow together like a big family.
Under the leadership of Su Ming and Li Xin, the company has achieved remarkable success. They have organized many successful cultural activities, published many books on traditional culture, and also cooperated with some well-known artists to launch a series of exquisite art works. These works are not only popular in China, but also have attracted wide attention internationally.
Siheyuan has thus become a window for international cultural exchange. Many foreign friends come to visit, showing great interest in traditional Chinese culture and discussing the possibility of cooperation with Su Ming and Li Xin. Through these exchanges, Su Ming and Li Xin not only spread traditional Chinese culture to all parts of the world, but also absorbed the essence of many different cultures, injecting new vitality into Siheyuan.
