Chapter 163 Establishing a Book Club
In an inconspicuous alley in Qingyang Town, a house whose door had been closed for a long time and had never been opened suddenly opened, and many day laborers in linen came in and out of the house, moving out some discarded furniture from time to time, or Moved in some new furniture from outside.

Pei Xiangxiang and Lin Xu stood in the middle of the yard, looking at the busy people coming in and out, both of them had smiles on their faces, but Pei Xiangxiang's smile had a sense of accomplishment, while Lin Xu was more grateful to Pei Xiangxiang.

This house was bought by Pei Xiangxiang on the spur of the moment to help Lin Xu set up an ancient "book bar" alone. Although it belongs to Shen Lane, but fortunately the environment is quiet and the location is a bit farther away than where he lives, but the layout of the house It's really good, Pei Xiangxiang fell in love with him immediately.

The house is not big, with a courtyard and a two-story building outside. About half an acre of bamboo forest is planted behind the building, and there is a stone table in the forest, which is very quiet.

There are many flowers planted in the front yard, including a wisteria trellis, a grape vine trellis, and an oversized tank with water lilies and koi.

There are also several rooms in the two-story building, but because of the original owner, only one room in this building is a bedroom, but this has no effect on Pei Xiangxiang and Lin Xu, and it can be changed into a big book Well, add some tables, chairs, and bookshelves to the empty room, and it's almost the same.

"Xiangxiang, you are so powerful that you can think of such a way." Lin Xu's eyes were full of admiration.

Pei Xiangxiang just smiled and said, "Brother Lin Xu just likes it. After the house is finished, let's make some brochures and send them out, especially your classmates and friends, Brother Lin Xu. Everyone will like it here."

The idea of ​​the book bar came to Pei Xiangxiang suddenly. The inspiration came from seeing Pei Xingliang go out to exchange books. Since they are all students, they must have an unusual love for books, and want to see more good books. Without spending time looking for it and buying it with money, Pei Xiangxiang felt that he could provide a fixed place for the students to exchange their books together, which can be described as a win-win situation.

Lin Xu was also very excited when he heard Pei Xiangxiang's idea, but what surprised him was that Pei Xiangxiang would immediately buy a house to help him realize his wish. He was so moved that he didn't know how to describe it in words. But he also knew that if he kept thanking Pei Xiangxiang, it would cause Pei Xiangxiang's displeasure, so he could only suppress his inner emotions and silently accept Pei Xiangxiang's kindness to him.

The name of the book bar, the decoration style, the furnishings in the house, etc., Pei Xiangxiang basically took Lin Xu to the side for reference. As for the preferences of the students, Pei Xiangxiang felt that Lin Xu should be better at it, but Lin Xu didn't. Disappointed by Pei Xiangxiang, he carefully considered the layout of the entire bookstore and the style of a chair before making a decision.

Pei Xiangxiang bought this small house with his own money, and he didn't intend to tell Pei Yongping and the Yang family, lest the Pei family find out and cause a lot of gossip. Discussed with Lin Xu and asked him not to talk about this matter to the outside world. Lin Xu thought it was Pei Xiangxiang who was thinking for himself, and he was afraid that others would gossip about him. He was grateful from the bottom of his heart, and obeyed Pei Xiangxiang's arrangement.

Pei Xiangxiang and Lin Xu went out early and returned late every day, and they didn't stay in the shop for long before going out. Pei Yongping and Yang Shi didn't say anything, because every time Pei Xiangxiang went out, he emphasized that he was helping Lin Xu find some review The books to be used are related to Lin Xu's homework. Pei Yongping and Yang's are completely in favor. Lin Xu and Pei Xiangxiang are not married yet, and they already treat Lin Xu as a family member.

After going out, Pei Xiangxiang and Lin Xu went straight to the book bar and continued to work. Fortunately, the house is well maintained, except for some old furniture that needs to be replaced, the furnishings need to be adjusted, and some leaks on the roof need to be repaired. Some summer tables and chairs would be fine. After half a month of busy work like this, the whole house will suddenly look brand new.

In the yard, Pei Xiangxiang added a swing under the wisteria trellis, so that he can swing here when he is free and bored, and Lin Xu also asked someone to build a pavilion in the yard according to his own preferences. In the pavilion, a stone table and There are chairs, and there is a chess box on the table, there is a small stove next to it, and there are kettles and tea sets on the wooden chairs, which are prepared for those who play chess and drink tea.

As for the layout of the two floors, Pei Xiangxiang thinks that the room upstairs can be used as a guest room. If Lin Xu or his friends have special circumstances and cannot go back, there is still a place to rest here. Lin Xu also thinks that Pei Xiangxiang's arrangement is very good. It was all right, so I nodded and followed this, and then built a study next to the room, which is not open to the public, and is only used by Lin Xu.

As for the four rooms downstairs, let’s turn them all into books. Each room is classified according to the category of books on the bookshelf, but there are very few books in it now, only Lin Xu’s own books, and only less than one bookshelf is used. It is full, and a room can almost hold thirty or forty bookshelves, so at first glance, the room looks empty.

"Brother Lin Xu, let's make a poster first and put this out, so that everyone knows that there is a book here, and then everyone come here."

"Okay, no problem, by the way, the name of the book bar is Qingyang Publishing House, how about it?" After Lin Xu finished speaking, he looked at Pei Xiangxiang expectantly.

Pei Xiangxiang wanted to complain but gave up in the end. He originally thought that Lin Xu would choose a very artistic or literary name, but he never thought it would be this, but Pei Xiangxiang thought about it again. The book club in Qingyang Town is called Qingyang Book Club. It's also okay, just name the location directly, maybe it will help the promotion of the book club.

With the previous experience of helping Pei Xiangxiang to promote peppers and tomato posters, this time Lin Xu drew more smoothly. He drew the front of the house directly on the paper, and then wrote down the address and the "friends" instructions of the book club. How can I write brush calligraphy and draw pictures, but Pei Xiangxiang really likes this poster drawn by Lin Xu, the picture is very good, especially the calligraphy, which is strong, strong, fortitude and free and easy, Pei Xiangxiang likes it very much.

The plaque hanging on the gate of the house was also written by Lin Xu. Originally, Lin Xu wanted to carve the words on the plaque with a knife, and then trace it with ink, but Pei Xiangxiang felt that using a knife was still too dangerous, and Lin Xu Under Pei Xiangxiang's persuasion, Lin Xu finally gave up cutting with a knife and wrote directly with a brush. Qingyang Publishing House was built like this.
