Maobiao Hutong can be regarded as an alley in old Beijing that has experienced many vicissitudes. It has survived several relocations tremblingly, but it cannot maintain the original flavor of the old alley.

Now the so-called alleys are just a way of saying, in fact, they are just a few old houses.Against the backdrop of the tall buildings around him, he looked so lonely and helpless, just like an old man crowded by a few young people, standing on half of his feet on the ground, dangling, looking pitiful.

Yi Zhen sat in the van with Xu Laoliu, and behind them were all their belongings. Xu Laoliu's and Yi Zhen's belonged to the whole car, so Yi Zhen could only squeeze sideways on the co-pilot with Xu Laoliu , but despite this, Yi Zhen felt very novel looking at the house next to him through the car window.

Although he lived in Beijing since he was a child, he had never seen this kind of house before. The car was parked at the entrance of a narrow alley and he couldn't get in. Xu Lao Liu carried Yi Zhen out of the car.

It happened that the old man who was walking the bird next to him passed by, saw that the child was cute and threatened him with a bird, and saw Yi Zhen hiding behind Xu Lao Liu, he clicked his tongue: "It looks like he came from outside the city, so timid, no, no, no. "Just leisurely walked to the breakfast stall.

The owner of the early stall didn't even look up, and after saying something, he brought him soybean juice and coke rings.

Xu Laoliu felt that this place was much quieter than it was many years ago. In the past, children chasing and playing could be heard under the old locust tree next to it. Now even the old locust tree has been cut down.The land here is too small, but the location is at the root of the most expensive imperial city. Many old Beijingers in the surrounding area have sold their old houses and moved to Tong County to live. The two generations can live comfortably.

He took Yi Zhen to stand in front of the dark house door. Yi Zhen looked at the shiny door cymbals and found it interesting. Just as he was about to reach out and touch them, the door opened, and a man in an old-fashioned gray robe came out inside. Short hair, wearing glasses, fair face, some light lines around the eyes, for a moment Yi Zhen couldn't tell whether it was an uncle or an aunt.

Behind the door, I vaguely saw a boy who was older than me singing something, and he sang while walking, just like taking a walk. The boy looked up, and just as the voice stopped, Qiu Peiyu turned around. Glaring angrily, he shrank his neck and quickly sang again.

Qiu Peijue looked at Xu Laoliu in rags and felt a little uncomfortable, and seeing him carrying a small oil bottle aroused her interest: "Oh, I haven't seen you for so many years, is this a son?"

Xu Laoliu said to Yi Zhen: "Hey, it's a long story, Zhen'er, this is your Aunt Qiu."

Yi Zhen said, "Hello, Aunt Qiu."

"Hey, this little guy looks really juicy." Qiu Peijue let the two of them in.

After entering the door, Qiu Peijue came over with the singing boy and asked him to respectfully call the sixth uncle, but Xu Laoliu waved his hands repeatedly: "I dare not be a teacher who is not a teacher."

Qiu Peijue said: "The only children raised by Master are you, me and Pei Qi, he should be called Master Uncle."

Hearing that Xu Laoliu's expression was a bit gloomy here, Qiu Peijue paused for a while, and said, "Oh, what a coincidence, my two apprentices happened to go out to work, and the small side room facing the south happened to be empty, which is the small house. A little bit, don't you mind?"

Xu Laoliu happily agreed, which meant that he didn't have to pay the rent.Hurry up and ask someone to unload his little belongings and move them into that small side room.

Qiu Peijue called the little apprentice Shao Xiaowu who was hanging his voice to come over to help, and Xu Laoliu quickly waved his hands and asked the two children to go over there to play.

Yi Zhen felt that those two doors were a magical passage, the world inside the door and the world outside the door seemed to be two worlds, even the air was different.

Inside is a square yard, with houses in four directions, east, west, north, south, different from what I saw just now, it is a water of blue bricks and black tiles, the tiles seem to be made of cloth, and they look shiny.

There is a locust tree in the yard, its branches are bare because it is winter, but its waist is very thick.

Yi Zhen remembered that the teacher said that a tree has annual rings, and the more annual rings, the thicker the tree, which proves that the tree is older. This should be the oldest tree Yi Zhen has ever seen.The boy was walking and singing under the tree. From time to time, his peripheral vision drifted to this side, but his voice and steps did not stop.

The bluestone slabs under the feet are reflected in the warm winter sun, shining faintly and dazzlingly.

There was a large vat in the middle of the courtyard. Yi Zhen looked inside, and there were sundries and mud inside, and the thin layer of snow on it had almost melted. Shao Xiaowu followed him and lay down next to the vat.

He is two years older than Yi Zhen, half a head taller than Yi Zhen, and has a generous face that looks very simple and honest. He is only nine years old, but compared with Yi Zhen, he looks a bit big and round.Shao Xiaowu saw Yi Zhen scratching his head, and saw two rows of big white teeth when he smiled, looking very festive.

Yi Zhen suddenly thought of the New Year painting on the living room in the past, and felt that Shao Xiaowu was almost holding a fish.

Shao Xiaowu asked him: "Are you also here to learn opera?"

Yi Zhen fiddled with the thin layer of snow with her fingers: "What is learning opera?"

Shao Xiaowu had a laugh: "Just like me, I learned opera from my master. I learned from old students, and my master is old students!"

"Who is your master?"

"My master is Master Qiu Peijueqiu!"

Yi Zhen nodded, swallowed the impolite question "Your master looks like a man", and only said: "The clothes your master wears are very special."

Shao Xiaowu chuckled: "That's a long gown. My master has several of them. My master said that long gowns are the most suitable for old students."

"What is an old student?" Yi Zhen didn't understand.

"Old student is also called Xusheng, you can also be called Zhengsheng. It is the one who wears a long beard in Peking opera. Have you ever heard of Peking opera?"

"I seem to have seen...with a beard on TV before? That's a man! Is your master a man?"

Yi Zhen was puzzled why the man was called Auntie.

"Don't say that in front of her, she will be angry! My master sings very well. I have been studying the original script in "Ganlu Temple" for a long time, but I can't learn it well. I am scolded by the master every day! Oh, I Sing a song for you!"

After finishing speaking, Shao Xiaowu stood still, raised his hand, and sang:

"Advise Chitose to kill the word and stop exporting it, and the old minister will talk to the Lord from the beginning.

Liu Bei was originally the descendant of King Jing, and the great-great-grandson of Emperor Han remained in his lineage.He has a second brother... Whoops! "

At this time, a wooden stick hit Shao Xiaowu on the head: "Poor!" Shao Xiaowu covered his head and turned around, Qiu Peijue hit him again.

Shao Xiaowu stuck out his tongue at Yi Zhen, but he didn't avoid the master's plank.

Qiu Peijue looked at Yi Zhen from top to bottom, couldn't help touching the boy's face, and pressed Yi Zhen's shoulders with both hands, and found that although Yi Zhen was not big, he had a well-proportioned frame, long hands and feet, and a slender figure. Board is upright.

Yi Zhen felt a little uncomfortable being touched by Qiu Peijue, but it was difficult to avoid it, so she avoided it carefully. Qiu Peijue laughed: "It's quite shy."

Yi Zhen blushed at what she said, pursed her lips and remained silent.

Qiu Peijue touched Yi Zhen's head: "Is it fun here?"

Yi Zhen thought for a while and said, "The houses here are square."

Qiu Peijue smiled and said, "Not far from here is a bigger place, which is made up of many square houses like this. It's called the Forbidden City. I'll take you to see it when I have time."

After speaking, he turned around and hit Shao Xiaowu with a wooden plank: "Go to practice blanket kung fu, and if I see you turn over again, I will break your leg."

Back in the small room in the south, Xu Laoliu had already moved all his things in and was putting them away, thinking about where to put the LCD TV brought from Yi Zhen's house.

Sitting by the bed, Yi Zhen asked Xu Laoliu: "The opera they are talking about is singing Peking Opera? Are you also singing Peking Opera?"

Xu Laoliu was playing with the LCD TV, and he didn't look up and said, "Well, what's the matter?"

"Why do you sing differently from that Auntie Qiu?"

"She sang old students, I... sang four different things, can they be the same?"

"Then the song you played before is also a Beijing opera?"

Xu Laoliu wiped the dust off the TV with a rag: "It's called Xiaoquer, it's not a Beijing opera, at most it has a Beijing flavor, and besides, I can't play the erhu very well, it's just for cheating money."

Yi Zhen nodded, looked around, and asked, "Where's my box?"

Xu Laoliu pointed to the cabinet in the corner, and Yi Zhen hurried over to open it, and felt relieved when he saw the box, Xu Laoliu said, "I didn't lose it for you, I scared you."

"Tomorrow, you follow Xiao Wu and let him take you to get familiar with this place. Your Aunt Qiu and I are going to go out to work. You obediently do your winter homework at home and remember to be obedient."

"How long are you going?" Yi Zhen's tone was a little quick.

Seeing Yi Zhen's nervous look, Xu Lao Liu chuckled, "I'll be back in two days."

Back then when little Yi Zhen moved from home to his self-built house, he couldn't leave the box with his hands. Now he is also moving, but this child can safely hand over the treasure to him. At least it proves that this child really regards himself as a relative.Xu Laoliu was flattered by this kind of usually introverted child who was a little dependent.

How can a six or seven-year-old child be so stable?

The next morning, Yi Zhen was woken up by a group of vocal practitioners. When she opened her eyes, what she could see was the roof beams. Big, the sun just happened to hit the foot of his bed and warmed his feet.

The babbling and babbling outside stopped after a while, and Yi Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. It sounded like someone pulling his throat and making a strange sound to him. It was uncomfortable to hear, and he sat up from his small folding bed. Looking at Xu Laoliu's bed, he has already left.

After a while, singing started again outside.

This time, instead of making strange noises with their throats hanging, several people sang in unison.

Yi Zhen fell down from the bed again, it's over, and now her ears can't be quiet.

But this time the voice was very neat. At that time, Yi Zhen didn't know the Shi Er Huang Si Ping tune, nor did he understand the elegant meaning of the lyrics. He just thought the song was very nice.

Yi Zhen got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked to the window. Looking through the glass, several children about his age were standing in the middle of the courtyard. One man and two women, all looking south, singing a song in unison .
