Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Yu Li hesitated: "Can I eat my ice cream tonight before coming to work?"

Li Han frowned slightly, thinking.

Now Yu Li has learned to express her wishes actively.

"Eat it first, it will melt when you're done."

He is thoughtful and his understanding of Li is always accurate.

This seems to reveal a sharp contrast between two completely different sensations - hot and cold.

So he had to heat the milk.

Hearing this proposal, Yu Li couldn't help but smile, and she was sure that Li Han would agree.

She took the popsicle she had just opened and took a bite. The coolness penetrated every cell in her body. Then she knelt down to enjoy this unique winter delicacy.

Enjoying ice cream in the cold winter has a special flavor.

Ten minutes later.

After eating the ice cream, Yu Li drank a cup of Li Han’s warm milk. The combination of cold and warm made her feel extremely enjoyable.

Then the real work began.

After half an hour, she completed her tasks for the day and a lot of dirty clothes accumulated in the laundry basket.

"Yu Li, you are really capable.

The New Year is coming soon, these are candies, you can enjoy them."

As he said this, he handed her a handful of candy, about half a pound in weight, which surprised her greatly.

Indeed, when working for Li Han, he never lets anyone leave empty-handed.

After Yu Li left, I fell asleep feeling relaxed and happy.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. As the folk proverb says, "On the 23rd, sugar melons are sweet."

Children laugh a lot at this time because this is the day they look forward to eating candies and candied foods (such as hemp candy) all year long.

This day marks the official entry into the festive atmosphere of the new year.

According to the custom in the old city of Beijing, the period from the Little New Year's Eve (the 23rd) to the New Year's Eve (the 30th) is called "House Cleaning Day".

, also known as "welcoming the new year"

Time.

Every household cleans their homes to welcome the arrival of the new year.

Today is another public holiday, so Li Han went out early in the morning and planned to go to Beixinqiao Department Store to see if he could get anything.

Unexpectedly, he saw Yan Jiedi surrounded by a group of children in the crowd.

Looking closely, Yan Jiedi was holding a few pieces of candy wrappers in her hand.

After she finished the candy, she didn't throw away the wrapper, but showed it to the neighborhood children.

I recognized these candies at a glance; they were obviously made by Yu Li.

At this time, a little kid grabbed the candy wrapper and ran away.

Yan Jiedi shouted in shock: "Jia Dang, you thief, give me back my candy wrapper!"

She searched everywhere in Jia's house, pointed at Jia Dang and shouted, "Thief! Give the candy wrapper back to me!"

Jia Dang quickly hid behind Jia Zhang to avoid Yan Jiedi's anger.

Seeing Jia Zhang being accused like this by Yan Jiedi, she was filled with anger.

She could give her own children a few words of advice, but she couldn't just leave outsiders alone.

"Yan Jiedi, do you still want to break into my house and cause trouble?"

The muscles on the fat Jia Zhang's round face were trembling, and her narrowed eyes were full of sharpness, making Yan Jie Di unable to respond for a moment.

Jia Dang stuck out his tongue at Yan Jiedi, revealing a hint of joy.

Yan Jiedi shed tears of grievance.

Jia Zhang sneered and said mercilessly: "I thought it was some treasure, but it's just a few pieces of torn paper.

Who cares if you steal even this little bit? "

She didn't understand that candy wrappers were precious collectibles for children.

Hearing such sarcastic words, Yan Jiedi burst into tears.

Faced with this predicament, with Jia Zhang's support, she was powerless to resist.

Jia Dang kept making eyes at Yan Jiedi behind Jia Zhang's back, and his playful look was very annoying.

"That candy wrapper is so pretty. I'm going to use it to cover my notebook. Ask Jia Dang to return it to me..."

Yan Jiedi said while sobbing.

However, Jia Zhang glared at her with her eyes that were like triangular cones, and said, "Yan Jie Di, our candy is missing, and you must have stolen it! Xiao Dang took the candy wrappers to seek justice, and if you keep crying, be careful that the police will really arrest you!"

She intended to scare the other person.

"Nonsense! Those candies were given to me by my sister-in-law Yu Li, not from yours!" Although Yan Jiedi was frightened, she did not compromise. She felt very wronged for being accused of theft without any reason.

"Yu Li gave you candy? Your sister-in-law is so unruly, she must have done something secretly with that pervert Li Han to get the candy."

Jia Zhang said this maliciously, making Yan Jiedi cry even more sadly.

Li Han happened to be riding his bicycle through the courtyard when he heard Jia Zhang's harsh and harsh words, and he couldn't help but feel angry. "Old woman Jia Zhang loves to gossip, her mouth stinks, let's see what you can say!"

He muttered to himself, and then three or four big rats suddenly appeared around him.

"Rat, big one!"

Jia Zhang was so frightened that she stood up suddenly.

Jia Dang was also frightened by the huge rat and hid everywhere.

Jia Zhang was terrified and shouted, "Qin Huairu, come in and catch the mice, there are so many of them!"

Qin Huairu was attracted by the shouting, and when she saw the chaotic group of rats, she also screamed in fear.

"You useless thing! I asked you to catch mice, not to watch a show. Ah, they can still jump!" Jia Zhang shouted repeatedly.

Sha Zhu heard the cry for help and rushed over. "Sister Qin, what happened?"

However, before he could finish his words, he was almost bitten by a big rat that jumped out.

Unexpectedly, the mouse jumped onto Jia Zhang.

Due to her fat body, she had no time to dodge and was bitten on the lip and climbed up quickly.

In panic, Jia Zhang swung her arms hard to hit the mouse, but found that the mouse held on tightly and did not let go.

Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu were stunned. Was this still the rat they knew? It actually attacked actively and bit them tightly!

Jia Zhang was in so much pain that she tried desperately to pull the mouse out of her mouth, but the pain was so severe that she couldn't break free. "Qin Huairu... come and help me!"

She pleaded desperately, but the rat bit harder and harder.

At this time, Sha Zhu quickly responded: "Aunt Zhang, don't move, I'll help you get it down."

He tried to stabilize Jia Zhang in order to rescue her.

However, when Jia Zhang stopped moving, the remaining three rats rushed forward and bit her lips again at the same time. There were four big rats surrounding her mouth, and the scene was extremely strange.

Jia Zhang was in unbearable pain and couldn't help sobbing.

The neighbors heard the noise and came to watch the fun. They were all shocked to see this scene. "Jia Zhang is trying to catch the mouse with her mouth. She is really desperate..."

"Don't talk nonsense, this is just Jia Zhang having close contact with the mouse, she is really an acrobat..."

"Those rats are really strange, why do they bite so persistently..."

"I've seen rats that big in the toilet. Could it be that Jia Zhang usually eats too much dirty food, so they think they can find delicious food in her mouth?"

The neighbors' speculations became increasingly bizarre.

Jia Zhang's tears flowed like rain and she kept sobbing in pain.

But no one could help, and even the slightest movement would attract the mouse to hold on tightly.

Li Han smiled with satisfaction.

Jia Zhang has a foul mouth, and this rat just likes bad smells. The two meet, which can be described as a perfect match.

.

At this time, Yan Jiedi informed Yu Li and mentioned the incident of Jia Zhang's insults.

Yu Li, furious, rushed to the backyard, only to see the four huge rats from the Jia Zhang family biting the corners of her mouth. Her original anger immediately turned into amazement.

"Li Han, what's going on? How did Jia Zhang encounter this?"

Yu Li asked, looking puzzled.

Li Han smiled and replied: "I guess these mice are fascinated by her stinky mouth and want to build a nest in it."

His words were full of joking.

Yu Li was amused. "Why are those four mice hanging in the mouth and refusing to go in?"

"They all want to go in, but none of them want to let others go first, so they are stuck there."

Li Han was talking nonsense in a serious tone.

Yu Li said: "I believe your reasoning."

"Of course. When have I ever miscalculated?"

After saying that, Li Han deliberately blinked, causing Yu Li to blush and shyly, and then hurried back home.

When he reached the door, Li Han noticed a Jeep slowly approaching and stopping at the gate of the compound.

Unlike the cars the officials rode last time, it looked much more easygoing.

The driver got out of the car and asked, "Comrade, do you know Mr. Li Han? The one who lives in this big yard?"

Li Han was a little surprised. Why would this driver come to find him? He replied, "I am Li Han."

The driver was extremely delighted and introduced, "It's you! Director Liu invites you to his home. Please get in the car."

"Are you talking about Director Liu, Liu Xiao'e?"

Li Han confirmed.

Hearing the affirmative answer, he locked the bike and placed it at the gate.

People come and go here, so you don't have to worry about losing the lock.

"Master, lead the way."

Then, Li Han got into the jeep.

It seems that Liu Xiao'e invited him over just to share milk, as he had a lot of it in his storage room.

It would be rude not to accept such a sincere invitation.

The Jeep drove him to a house with its own door and yard.

There is no record of this courtyard in the original work that Li Han remembers. It should be the residence of Liu Xiao'e rather than her parents.

The yard was not very spacious, and Li Han stepped in.

Suddenly, a soft and low melody floated to my ears.

"Is it a symphony? --Fate?"

He recognized the classic.

It was true, just like the plot in the original story, after leaving Xu Damao, Liu Xiao'e began to ponder profound philosophical themes such as fate.

Li Han slowly approached the room where the music was coming from and saw Liu Xiao'e listening to the phonograph with her eyes closed. There was a record player on an octagonal table next to her.

The record spins on the record player, and the music rises and falls with it: some are gentle and light, some are exciting and uplifting, some are deep, and some are loud.

Immersed in the music, Li Han watched it all quietly and silently, and was slowly moved by the beautiful melody.

After a few minutes, the music ended.

Chapter 175 Lou Xiaoou slowly opened his eyes, his heart still immersed in the fantastic atmosphere of the world famous song.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

She saw Li Han at the door. "Li Han, when did you come?"

She asked, sitting up straight and walking outside.

"Just now, I only heard half of the 'Symphony of Fate'."
