Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

Yanjing, in a courtyard house in Xicheng District.

Once upon a time, I don't know how many wealthy families lived in this courtyard house. According to the old saying, "the east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is humble."

Then this courtyard house was probably occupied by a high-ranking official or a relative of the emperor.

At the dinner table, his brother-in-law Wang Renqing ate the meat buns with big mouthfuls and said with a smile:

"So what if the officials lived there before? Now we live there. It's really like 30 years in the east of Hedong and 30 years in Hexi."

Xu Hu sat cross-legged on his right side and said:

"If it were left to ancient times, if ordinary people like us, let alone living in, would just stand at the door and watch for a while, wouldn't we all be beaten!?"

"What are you looking at? Standing at the door and looking in? You will definitely get beaten! The slaves of rich families are very vicious!"

Wang Renqing was really hungry.

After finishing one meat bun, he licked his fingers and picked up another meat bun.

During this period, Xu Dahai brought a total of 67 cash from his hometown.

Among them, 65 yuan was used to buy 11 courtyard houses, 1 yuan was given to Zhao Yejun and Yang Junhua, and the remaining money was used for traveling around and daily expenses.

Going home now.

At noon, I treated Yang Junhua to a meal at a nearby restaurant as a way of thanking him for his help during this time.

Originally, he also wanted to invite Zhao Yejun, but the latter went to the Special Administrative Region and has not come back yet, so we can only meet again if fate brings him.

"Xiaohai, if you all go back to the Northeast, then there won't be anyone to take care of those courtyard houses?"

room.

Yang Junhua, Xu Dahai, Xu Hu, and Wang Renqing clinked a glass of wine together and said tentatively.

"You don't need to take care of it. We may come over and stay for a while after a while."

Xu Dahai saw that Yang Junhua seemed to have something to say, so he ate the delicious mutton and said with a smile:

"Hey, do you have something to say? Just say it. We've known each other for a while, so if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

"Hey, I know an old man, and I want him to look after your house.

Of course, you don't need to pay him wages, just buy him some rice, noodles and other things and let him cook by himself.

In fact, it doesn't cost much, and he can also help look after the house. If anything happens, he can send you a telegram..." Yang Junhua said quickly.

……

Just when Xu Dahai and Yang Junhua were eating.

Daquan Township, Xujiatun.

Mom was already full, so she took a piece of steamed bun and walked through the dirt road in the village to Xu Dahai's courtyard.

Just opened the fence gate.

The big orange cat sleeping on the eaves quickly woke up, took advantage of the wall, a stick, a pile of firewood... and ran to his mother's side, screaming.

"Meow~meow~"

"Okay, okay, stop barking. You're such a fat lazy cat. In fact, if you skip a meal or two, there's nothing wrong with you."

Mom took the dirty cat bowl from the corner, broke the buns into small pieces and put them inside.

In the end, a small piece of steamed bun was left and thrown into the water urn in the yard.

boom~

The water splashed everywhere, and the big fat Chinese fish lurking at the bottom of the water immediately swam to the surface, swallowed the steamed bun in one gulp, and then swam to the bottom of the water urn after throwing up some water splashes with its tail.

"Meow!"

The big orange cat twitched its little nose and sniffed, then lowered its head and started to eat the food. The food tasted delicious, so it seemed that it was really hungry.

Mom smiled and petted the cat twice:

"Eat, eat, don't get hungry or lose weight. Otherwise, you might blame me for not feeding you well until Xiaohai and the others come back.

Eat more and grow fat, which also proves that I have not treated you badly. "

After the big orange cat finished eating the steamed bun, my mother put the cat bowl back in the corner, closed the fence door, and went to the back garden to pick two watermelons.

The watermelon is almost overripe and will go bad if you don't eat it.

After she returned along the east path, she happened to see a motorcycle coming from the southeast dirt road.

In recent years, more and more people are buying motorcycles.

However, due to the high price, most people cannot afford motorcycles, and motorcycles are rarely seen in the countryside.

Mom squinted her eyes curiously and took a look.

She soon became surprised because she found out that the person she knew was her son's friend. If she remembered correctly, his name was Shen Feng.

"Young man, are you here to see Xiao Hai?"

"Well, Auntie, is Xu Dahai at home?" Shen Feng parked his motorcycle and asked quickly.

"He's not at home. He took his wife and children to Guanli. He has been there for a few days."

"Ah?" Shen Feng thought to himself, and quickly asked when he would be back.

Unfortunately, my mother couldn't tell for sure. She only said that if anything happened, she could tell her first and she could convey it to Xu Dahai when he came back.

After seeing Shen Feng leaving.

She quickly stopped her again, saying that she had come all the way, but she had to go home to rest, drink tea, and eat watermelon before leaving.

"Since Xu Dahai is not at home, I won't stay any longer.

When he comes back, auntie, just tell him that Shen Feng came to see him. "

Shen Feng didn't stop any longer, pushed the motorcycle around the corner, and quickly rode away.

……

Yanjing.

West City.

After lunch, Xu Dahai quickly met the old man Yang Junhua was talking about at the door of his courtyard.

The old man’s surname was Wu. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies. He didn’t say his real name. He only said that others called him Wu Laodian.

Bald head, hunchback, light gray short sleeves, tattered shorts, riding a rusty three-wheeler, he looked shabby.

He was so dizzy that he seemed to have been drinking.

Xu Dahai frowned slightly.

Yang Junhua was also a little embarrassed and quickly explained:

"Brother, believe me once. Don't look at his age. In fact, Wu Laodian's body is strong and he is quite reliable in normal times.

cough~

How about locking up the main room and giving him a small room in the southeast corner. "

The reason why Yang Junhua worked so hard to recommend Wu Laodian was, in his own words, because Wu Laodian had helped him.

This face still has to be given.

Although Xu Dahai was a little skeptical about whether the old man could do it, he felt that he could try to trust Yang Junhua for once. After all, he had the latter as his guarantee.

After telling Wu Laodian the locations of the other ten courtyard houses and giving him the keys, he told him to go and have a look when he had time.

of course.

I also bought him some rice, flour, oil and so on.

Early the next morning, Xu Dahai and the others took the train home.

……

Woo~woo~

Sitting on the old green leather train, Xu Dahai looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, and the half-month trip to Yanjing flashed through his mind like a horse.

“Overall, it’s pretty good. I bought 11 units in Siheyuan.

Although the cash on hand has been greatly reduced, there is actually no use in keeping so much cash. The RMB has been depreciating, and the longer the cash is kept, the greater the losses. "

After passing Shanhaiguan and arriving at the provincial capital, they were very tired and quickly found a hotel to rest for the night.

There was nothing going on anyway, so there was no need to rush on the way. After sleeping well, I got on the train back to the county town.
