Tian Tian, ??a woman in black, lives in the old city. The so-called old city is the settlement of old houses in the provincial capital that remained after liberation. Over the years it has become a protected building.
I have heard about the old city for a long time. When I was in school, I often went to the streets there to find special snacks, and I still have a little impression of the old houses and buildings.
Lu Daan said that these old houses were built by foreigners back then, and most of them were small buildings with two or three floors. It is as old as the old, and it is very elegant. When you come to the old city, if there is no Chinese character signboard, you will feel like you are on the streets of Rome.
Lu Da'an and I drove to Tian Tian's old house. The old house she lived in was in a small alley. It would be really hard to find without the house number.
When I arrived at Tian Tian's house, I was shocked by her old house. I saw those European-style buildings built with old blue bricks, which had been repaired and perfected. When I entered the door, there was a small patio, which made people seem to have traveled to that era.
Tian Tian is still wearing that long black dress, but today she is not wearing sunglasses, her eyes are pretty, with slender eyebrows and big eyes, but there is a kind of melancholy in her eyes. I don't understand why she still wore sunglasses when she went to the store that day, because she was afraid of being seen.
"It's so beautiful! I like this old house!" I not only sighed.
Tian Tian didn't speak, but led us into the living room on the first floor. I was even more shocked when I entered. I saw that Nuo Da's living room was filled with old furniture, only the European-style leather sofa was considered modern.
"Please sit down!" Tian Tian said to Lu Da'an and me with a smile, and then she went to make coffee.
Fatty Lu was also surprised by such an ancient decoration. To be honest, even though this kid lives in the provincial capital, it is probably the first time he has seen such an old house.
I tugged at Lu Daan's clothes, and reminded him not to stare at Tian Tian's skirt all the time, as if he had never seen the world.
At this time, Tian Tian brought two cups of coffee and asked me, "You can live here today. You live downstairs, and I live upstairs."
Downstairs? I looked, do you just live in the living room?
Tian Tian may have seen the startled look in my eyes. She walked to the side where the piano was placed and pushed open a door. Only then did I see that there was an inner room.
"You guys live here, can you take a look?" Tian Tian said to me with a smile.
I hurriedly followed, and saw that the hut was not big, but there were two old beds. The white sheets on the beds were very clean. Although it was a little small, it was enough for Lu Daan and I to live in.
"Very good, thank you for your trouble." I said politely to Tian Tian.
"Let's sit down and have a cup of coffee first!" Tian Tian sat down on the sofa after speaking.
"If Ms. Tian has anything to say, just say it."
"Hey, it's a long story, why don't you talk about this old house first, I grew up here since I was a child."
"Okay, I'm also very interested!" Lu Da'an interjected. I glared at him.
"I can see that you have a special feeling for the old house." I think there must be many stories in this old house. Why this woman dresses so strangely has something to do with the old house.
I remember reading a book a long time ago, which described a woman in an old house, and it was as weird as Tian Tian. A person misses old things and has special feelings, which are more or less related to this item. There must be an inevitable connection.
"I was born in this old house, and then spent my beautiful childhood and youth here, and only left the old house when I was in college"
Tian Tian slowly talked about the relationship between this old house and her. Tian Tian said that this old house was lived by a Frenchman in the early days of the Republic of China. Later, after the Frenchman left, he gave the old house to her great-grandfather.
It seems that this old house is really old, it must not have been built when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China.
I continued to listen to Tian Tian's story. She said that my great-grandfather was a well-known figure in the provincial capital. He had been in business and politics. Later, when it was passed down to her grandfather's generation, he was engaged in the tea trade, and the business was very successful. big.
"Then your house should have been confiscated in the 1960s, how can you get it back?" Lu Daan suddenly asked Tian Tian.
Lu Daan's question is also reasonable. In those days, not to mention these two small buildings, even a dilapidated thatched house might have been confiscated or razed to the ground long ago.
"Hehe, this house was indeed confiscated later, but after the liberation, the governor was a student of my grandfather, so after my parents fought hard, we got it back again."
Tian Tian said that since the house was coming in the 1980s, her grandfather's family has been living in it, after all, it is a big family.
I didn't interrupt Tian Tian's story like Fatty Lu did, but continued to listen to her tell the history of the old house.
It turned out that after the old house was returned to his grandfather, Tian Tian's uncle carried out maintenance repairs. I have to admit that foreigners have fine workmanship. I'm not xenophobic. I just compare it with modern times. They still have a certain level of architecture.
"Then where did you get so many old-fashioned furniture in your house?" Fatty Lu really made me drunk, and he interrupted every now and then to ask people.
"Some furniture is left by our family, and some are bought from the second-hand market."
I didn't ask Tian Tian what kind of confusion she wanted to solve. I didn't know what she said had anything to do with her emotions, but I could feel that Tian Tian had special feelings for this old house deep in her heart.
"Why do you live alone in such a big house? Aren't you afraid?" The fat man asked Tian Tian again, and I gave the fat man another look, but the boy didn't look at me at all, but stared at Tian Tian and asked.
"Ha-ha-ha, joke, this is my home, why should I be afraid?" Tian Tian's sudden laughter made my hair stand on end.
"Haha, according to common sense, a nephew is like a dog and leaves after eating. This house should be owned by your grandma's family, right?" The fat man asked in too much detail, and I was completely helplessly drunk.
Tian Tian stopped laughing, she looked at us affectionately, and then said, "Everyone in my grandma's house is gone, so I became the owner of the house."
I gave Fatty Lu a hard look, I was afraid that he would ask Tian Tian again, this is someone's housework, it would be rude to ask him directly. Fatty Lu saw that I was giving him winks, so the kid didn't ask any more questions.
If I'm not wrong, this house should be owned by Uncle Tian Tian later, but his uncle should have a child, and it won't fall under her name. The matter is not relevant, but Tian Tian insists on talking about the old house first.
"Do you drink red wine?" Tian Tian asked us with a smile.
I quickly said, "We won't drink, so you're welcome!"
Tian Tian poured a glass of red wine and sat across from me. She held the wine glass elegantly. She is indeed a woman from a big family.
When I picked up the cold cup of coffee and was about to drink it, Tian Tian suddenly asked a question, which made me feel baffled. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
