The rebuilding process of the small courtyard was lengthy and slow. Su Li carefully filled in some details and then gave the new blueprint to Li Carpenter before buying a set of wood carving knives for home practice.

When not busy, he would open the drawing paper by the window and draw carefully. Sometimes he would pick up the carving knife and practice some wood carving. Although very clumsy, Su Li was always in a good mood.

After the overall renovation was completed, Zhou Yao accompanied him to the flower and bird market. Su Li bought a bunch of flowers to plant and also learned many tips on managing flowers.

The small courtyard began to take shape. Su Li stood at the entrance of the yard and squinted his eyes.

"Very nice. Boss you did well! I always thought you were just an engineering man, didn't expect you would have decent artistic taste!" Zhou Yao marveled.

Su Li did not explain that this was not his artistic taste but his mother's.

"When the flowers bloom next summer, we can also barbecue here," Su Li pointed to a corner he had deliberately left out, "I'll build a shed there another day."

Zhou Yao happily said, "Sure, no problem, leave it to me!"

What followed next was the addition of facilities inside the house. Su Li had bought and arranged everything that needed to be placed. It just lacked some handmade furniture from Li Carpenter.

Although he did not intend to open a shop, Su Li still made the lobby look like a restaurant.

He drew quick sketches of Ding Sha and Xiao Jun on the small blackboard at the door and planted the flowers nicely.

Zhou Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally it's done. Boss how do you come up with so many tricks? I just can't."

Of course Su Li did not answer.

After tidying up, Su Li moved into the small courtyard with his luggage.

Zhou Yao was stunned for a moment. "You really intend to live here?"

"Why don't you live here too?"

"Forget it, I still prefer hotels more." Zhou Yao shook his head again and again.

Su Li liked to make himself a cup of coffee, sit by the window and read a book or handle work to get through the day.

The sunlight was just right here.

He did not add sugar to the coffee. Su Li was unusually relaxed today, sitting on the chair and napping.

Someone knocked on the door lightly.

Su Li opened his eyes to see a girl push open the door, "Excuse me...is this a coffee shop?"

"No, this is a private residence." Su Li said.

"Ah? From the outside I saw tables and chairs inside, I thought it was a coffee shop!" The girl said somewhat apologetically.

"But the painting on your door is really nice, is it you and your girlfriend?"

"No," Su Li shook his head, "it's my parents."

"Wow, they must be so happy and beautiful!" the girl exclaimed.

Su Li smiled slightly. He was in a good mood today. He walked over and pushed the door open, "Come on in and sit for a while? Let me make you coffee?"

"How can I trouble you so much..." Although the girl's mouth was polite, she walked in without hesitation.

"Wow, it's even nicer inside! Can I take pictures?"
