Chapter 822 Thinking Too Much

Children's happiness is much simpler than that of adults. It's so simple that just a word or a promise can make them happy for a long time.

Xiaoxiao and the others clapped their hands while jumping around, like happy little rabbits jumping around their brother and mother.

It turns out that emotions are contagious.

Soon, the joy of the little sisters spread from person to person, making the faces of adults also filled with happy smiles.

"Why are you so happy? Are you very satisfied with my Lao Meng's work?"

Lao Meng's voice came from the gate, and it turned out that he had arrived. Xu Ang had originally informed Lao Meng, and he had also informed Fang Shuying when he went out. However, Lao Meng was no idler. He had students to take care of, and it was impossible for him to just leave. By the time Lao Meng finished handling the matters at hand, it was already too late to set off again.

This is also the reason why Lao Meng appeared at this time.

"Uncle Meng, hello, are you here to see my brother's new home too?"

Xiaoxiao recognized Lao Meng and was the first to wave hello after seeing him.

Compared to Sisi and Xiao Qingzi, Xiaoxiao is much more lively.

This is especially true when facing unfamiliar people. This is inseparable from Xu Ang's education.

When dealing with little ones like Xiao Gouzi, you have to let them feel cared for and cultivate their self-confidence at the same time, so that they will not be shy and timid, and eventually become timid, don't talk much, and can't make friends. , a very lonely person.

"Hello Xiaoxiao, you are cute again."

Lao Meng's compliment made Xiaoxiao giggle so happily that her little face turned into a bun - the kind on the back.

After walking in, Lao Meng asked: "How is it? What do you think? Is there anything that needs to be adjusted? Let me tell you, when I started building here, I didn't see the Old Summer Palace you gave me when I was making the drawings. photos, otherwise I will definitely add a lot of new ideas. If you want to try it, people will not be able to live here until the end of the year, so there is no time to change it.”

As soon as Lao Meng opened his mouth, all he said was a bunch of words.

Judging from what he said, he wanted to try out his new idea here.

However, Xu Ang would not agree.

"It's good as it is. We just took a walk around and we're all very satisfied."

I paid for you to go through all the troubles in my new home. I have to live somewhere else first, and then I can move in after you are done. What am I trying to do?

"It's better to keep your new ideas. You'll be busy when the Old Summer Palace is restored."

When the freshman project started, Lao Meng had to work so hard that his feet didn't even touch the ground. Let's see if he still had the heart to trouble my family at that time.

When it comes to replicating the Old Summer Palace, Lao Meng seems very excited, and there is a bit of expectation in this excitement. He rubbed his hands and said, "Are you sure there won't be any changes here? I can still find some time before the Old Summer Palace project starts. Once the project starts, it will take only a few years or even ten years to complete. I can’t finish the work. By then, I won’t have time even if you want to change it.”

Anyone who works in engineering has encountered such things as rework. In many cases, they seemed satisfied before, but after a period of time, the other party suddenly changes his mind and becomes dissatisfied again, and wants you to change it according to his ideas. Lao Meng was worried that the same situation would happen here in Xu Ang, so he had to speak up first to avoid making everyone unhappy later.

"Without Butcher Zhang, we have to eat pigs with hair on them? Lao Meng, you'd better not worry so much and concentrate on preparing for the next big project."

Xu Ang had said that, so Lao Meng was naturally happy and had nothing to do.

"Since you think it's okay, that's good." Pointing around, Lao Meng said to Xu Ang, "Find someone to check and accept it again. Once it's confirmed that there is no problem, I will have someone clean it up again and give it to me again by the way." There is water in the pond... By the way, do you want to keep fish in this water pavilion? If you want to raise it, should you buy it yourself or should I arrange it for you? "

Whether or not to raise fish does not seem to be a problem, but the problem is that Xu Ang has a little sister at home. If fish are released, there is no guarantee that the little sisters will not hang around the water just to see the small fish. It is very dangerous for children to get too close to the water.

Xu Ang replied to Lao Meng: "You turn on the water first, then wash the floor to clean it. I will consider the fish matter later."

"You, sometimes you just think too much."

Lao Meng teased Xu Ang about the common problem of smart people - thinking too much.

Sometimes their brains are so good that they worry about many things. Even though those are just possible things, they like to take them into account, which leads to the problem of looking forward and backward, and being hesitant.

In Lao Meng's view, Xu Ang was very decisive in most matters, but he started to get sick when his family was involved.

Is this a problem?

It's just a private matter, so there is no problem.

"As for the restoration of the Old Summer Palace, your people should talk to the city hall as soon as possible and don't dwell on the details. Everyone is interested in it anyway. Wouldn't it be good to start construction as soon as possible?"

Lao Meng gave Xu Ang a suggestion.

From his point of view, this is certainly true. He is eager to reach an agreement today and start work today. But from Xu Ang's perspective, that's not how things work.

Just listen to Xu Ang explain to Lao Meng, "I have left all the negotiations with the city hall to professionals. That is their job. I am not going to interfere. Professional things should be left to professionals. This is the only way." Only then can it be done well. Don't think that negotiating now takes time. You will know it later. Discuss all the details of the negotiation in advance. Once the project starts, there won't be so many unnecessary troubles and disputes, and you can focus on it. In engineering. I believe you understand the principle of sharpening your sword before chopping wood, right?"

What could Lao Meng say? He could only say one good word.

After all, what Xu Ang said made sense and he had no reason to refute.

And Lao Meng also knew that Xu Ang explained to him to give him face, otherwise Xu Ang would not bother to talk to him so much and would just change the subject by making haha.

"Professor Meng."

Fang Shuying called to Lao Meng: "Is this tree okay? You have hollowed it out. How can it still survive?"

"Sister Fang, this is a tree from abroad, called the baobab tree. We did not hollow out its tree body, but it was originally like this. Its appearance is related to its living environment, in order to store more energy. We can provide more water sources so that they can survive in the dry season. By the way, I forgot to tell you that we have only used part of the tree body. It still has the function of storing water. You can try it when you move in later. "

It is a common problem of all human beings to be a teacher.

As a professor, Lao Meng is accustomed to teaching and educating people. When he encounters something that others don't know but he understands, his professional habits will prompt him to talk endlessly.

But what he didn't see was that Fang Shuying seemed to be listening to him, but in fact she winked at Xu Ang.

It turns out that Fang Shuying asked Lao Meng the question to change the subject so that Lao Meng would not continue to tangle with Xu Ang.

As a mother, I am always looking for ways to help my children reduce trouble.
