Today is a rare sunny day in winter, and Niujiao Hutong became lively early in the morning, because it was still in the first lunar month, and those who went to work and school at home were still on vacation.
The alleys are filled with the laughter of children, hopscotch catching stones, and naughty boys breaking ice ribs and chattering non-stop, licking their tongues while breathing from the cold, impatient His lips were stuck together, and he stretched out.
When the parents came out and saw it, they would inevitably pull over the hammer, and after the hammering, they ran out to play again with a hippie smile on their faces.
Playing around, the sharp-eyed child noticed that there were two young men standing at the entrance of the alley twisting and turning. Wearing long clothes that they can't see the material, they are very new and fit well, unlike them, even if they are new clothes, the elbows and knees have been patched in advance, because they are afraid that the clothes will be worn out. I know it's not in their alley.
These two people are Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou, because the capital has changed a lot after 40 years, and many places here have been demolished and rebuilt. Xu Hengzhou recalled while walking, and even missed a trip before he found this place.
Xiang Chen asked: "Is it here?"
Xu Hengzhou looked at the alley silently, and nodded: "It should be, let's ask."
Xiang Chen was more friendly, so he went up to find a kid who looked older, and said with a smile: "Little brother, brother, I want to ask you something, is this Niujiao Alley?"
The boy stared blankly at Xiang Chen and said nothing, until Xiang Chen asked again, then nodded abruptly: "Yes, it's Niujiao Alley."
Just now he was too far away to cover his face with a scarf, so he couldn't see clearly, but this little brother looked really good-looking, so he went to see Xu Hengzhou again, and found that both of them were actually good-looking.
After Xiang Chen got the answer, he gave the child a piece of candy, which attracted the envious eyes of the surrounding children, and then gestured to Xu Hengzhou.
Xu Hengzhou strode over and asked the child, "Do you know the last name of the one in the innermost alley?"
"I know, the surname is Qian!"
"There is also someone surnamed Ma. Ma Xiaoguang and his family live there."
"There are also people surnamed Li."
"There is also a person surnamed Dong"
This time, the children around rushed to answer. They all saw Xiang Chen giving the candy just now. Maybe they got the candy if they answered well?
Xu Hengzhou froze all of a sudden, why are there so many people? He knew that many families lived in each courtyard in this alley, but his grandfather's house was different.
? His natal family is considered a family. It has been a well-known wealthy businessman in China since the Republic of China. His great-grandfather sponsored the revolution back then, and the whole family remained very intact after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In the last life, a few years ago, when his grandfather realized that the situation was wrong, he immediately donated everything that should be donated by the family. The company was also changed into a public-private partnership, controlled by the state, and their family received dividends.
This yard of his own is also the same. Fortunately, he decided to do it in time, and all the family members were preserved. Because the yard was well preserved, a cadre of the Revolutionary Committee at the time asked to leave, and did not arrange many people to go there like other yards in the alley. live.
By this time, that person had already fallen, and the family house was returned. Grandpa grew up in this yard and has a deep affection for it, so as soon as the house was returned, he packed it up and moved back.
What those children said was completely wrong. Even if he remembered wrongly and the house hadn't been returned, he shouldn't have lived in so many houses, otherwise his yard would not have been preserved so well in the future.
Xiang Chen saw that his complexion was not good, took out a handful of candy and sent them away to the children, and helped Xu Hengzhou to the side to talk: "Is there any problem?"
Xu Hengzhou had a vague guess in his heart, he didn't say it, but told Xiang Chen what he found sorry.
Xiang Chen frowned after listening: "Then what shall we do?"
Xu Hengzhou has already controlled his emotions, and the expression on his face has returned to calm: "I'm here, I have to take a look before I'm reconciled."
Naturally, Xiang Chen was with him. The two walked through the alley and walked straight to the end. The courtyards they saw along the way, as long as the courtyard doors were opened, were crowded with people, and the courtyards were also dirty and messy. Garbage and sundries, and a small shed built with wooden boards at the corners.
When there are too many people living there, everyone can occupy the public space in the yard as much as they can. After all, if a large family squeezes into a small room, it is good to expand a little space.
Today is a fine sunny day, most of the courtyard doors are open, they go in and out to dry clothes, dry quilts and carry water, and when they reach the last house, the courtyard door of this house is open like the others, so there is no need for Xu Hengzhou to knock on the door.
Xu Hengzhou stopped not far from the courtyard gate.??, after taking the last mouthful of soup, he licked his lips eagerly, and after asking Xu Hengzhou if he wanted it, he unceremoniously ordered two more bowls.
In addition, the taste of the dishes served was mediocre, in the end Xiang Chen restrained himself from ordering the third bowl, and ate up the dishes together with Xu Hengzhou. At this time, many people are still hungry, and it is not good to waste food.
Because he was a little full from eating, after eating, Xiang Chen sat on the stool for a while, planning to rest for a while before going back with Xu Hengzhou.
When they were eating, many guests had already arrived one after another. Seeing that they could not sit down now, Xiang Chen quickly stood up to make room for the new guests.
It happened that the waiter also saw him standing up, and quickly said to the person sitting in front of him: "Comrade, the guests over there are leaving, you can sit there later."
Hearing the words, the man looked towards Chen, and when he saw Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Hey, why are you two boys here?! When did you come to the capital?"
