Walking along the pedestrian street for a few minutes, and passing through several long and lonely alleys paved with bluestones, the winding narrow alleys are shrouded in faint milky smoke, with no end in sight I followed Yang Xiaotong He walked quickly to the depths of the alley.
In front of a somewhat old three-story building, Yang Xiaotong stopped suddenly, then turned around and said to me: "Sanduo, this is my home."
"Oh, your home is here?" I thought that for a girl like her who is fashionable, fashionable, and beautiful, her home will live in a high-end residential area, but I didn't expect it to be in this alley , which I find hard to believe.
"Yeah, do you feel a little surprised?" Yang Xiaotong asked.
"No, no!" I said hastily.
This is a low-rise building. The house has been around for some years, and the walls are mottled with the rust of history. The road in front of the door is also covered with snow at this time, leaving a series of long footprints
Yang Xiaotong took out the key from the bag, gently opened the door, and led me up to the third floor. When I passed the first and second floors, I found that the two floors were divided into several wing rooms, like a small hotel, and people came in and out of the floors from time to time.
"Xiaotong, are the first and second floors of your house rented out?" Seeing this, I couldn't help asking.
"Yes, both the first and second floors are rented out." Yang Xiaotong replied as he walked upstairs.
In the winter in the north, the heating is turned on in the house, which makes people feel warm all over the body. After entering the room, Yang Xiaotong said to me: "Sanduo, you can sit wherever you want, you are welcome."
"Okay, where's your family?" Seeing that the room was empty, I asked.
"My parents went to my aunt's house, and they came back at night." Yang Xiaotong replied.
"Oh!" After I answered casually, I found a chair and sat down.
After sitting down, I glanced around at the furnishings in the house, and found that the furniture in Yang Xiaotong's house was rather old, as if it hadn't been changed for many years. Mottled buildings and old furniture, in the city, it looks ugly and short like a sparrow standing next to a group of peacocks spreading their gorgeous feathers.
"The house is relatively simple, I am laughing at you!" Yang Xiaotong brought me a cup of hot water from nowhere, and said to me.
"It's pretty good to have such a building in the city!" I replied hastily.
"This is my grandfather's house. Neither my parents have any jobs. After my grandfather passed away, my parents took me and my brother to live here." Yang Xiaotong introduced to me.
"Then where did you live?" I asked.
"The countryside! Cough" Yang Xiaotong replied quietly, as if there was something unspeakable.
"What's the matter in the countryside? Isn't the countryside bad?" I saw Yang Xiaotong hesitate to speak, so I asked.
"It's nothing, but it's okay to tell you." Yang Xiaotong said.
"What's so unspeakable?" I asked curiously.
"This house does not belong to our family." Yang Xiaotong replied.
"Did your family buy it?" I said.
"No." Yang Xiaotong said.
"What's that about?" I asked.
Later, Yang Xiaotong found a chair and sat next to me, and then told me the history of this house. It turned out that Yang Xiaotong's parents were both from the country. Ten years ago, because the family was poor, his parents entrusted the two brothers to their uncles to take care of them, and then came to Harbin to do odd jobs for others. One night, when the drizzle was hazy and the road was slippery, Yang Xiaotong's parents returned to their place of residence after finishing their work. When they passed a fork in the road, they found an old man in his 60s who fell to the ground on his bicycle. His whole body was dirty and wet, and his face was covered with bruises. It seemed that the fall was not light. Seeing this, Yang Xiaotong's parents quickly helped him up and asked him about his injuries and whether he wanted to go to the hospital. The old man said no, and asked the couple to send him home.
After sending the old man home, Yang Xiaotong's parents found that the old man lived alone and had no one to take care of him, which made the couple feel compassionate. In his spare time, Yang Xiaotong's parents often come to take care of the elderly, serving him tea and meals, doing laundry and cooking. Later, they gradually became acquainted. Coincidentally, this old man was also surnamed Yang, so Yang Xiaotong's parents called the old man uncle. Slowly, Yang Xiaotong's parents learned from the old man that the old man had no children in his life. When he was young, the couple built the house layer by layer by picking up broken pieces. He died, and now he lives alone.
The old man saw that Yang Xiaotong's parents were honest and warm-hearted, and they had no relatives or friends working in Harbin, and they had no place to live, so the old man asked Yang Xiaotong's parents to live with him. At that time, no one rented his room, and he was idle when he was idle. At the beginning, Yang Xiaotong's parents didn't agree. They felt that they were taking advantage of others and their conscience couldn't bear it, so they didn't agree to him.
Later, the old man fell ill and was bedridden. When Yang Xiaotong's parents found out, they sent the old man to the hospital for treatment, and helped him carry feces and urine in front of his bed, busying himself, just like treating his own relatives. After the old man recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Yang Xiaotong's parents stayed at the old man's house because of his limited mobility. They accompanied the old man day and night
One day, the old man called Yang Xiaotong's parents to the hospital bed, and then made a will saying that after a hundred years, the house would belong to Yang Xiaotong's parents. In this regard, Yang Xiaotong's parents firmly disagree, but in the end they couldn't hold back the old man's heart
After listening to Yang Xiaotong's story, I immediately felt the warmth of the world. I didn't expect such a beautiful and sad story to happen in this mottled and dilapidated building. In an instant, I felt that this low and dilapidated house was much more majestic and taller than those high-rise buildings standing in the bustling city.
"Your parents are really good people, and your grandfather is also a person who knows how to repay kindness. They are too great!" I couldn't help saying.
"Did you know? Without this house, it would be impossible for me to go to college!" Yang Xiaotong said to me.
"Why?" I looked at her and asked with some doubts.
"My parents paid for me to go to college by renting out this house, otherwise our family wouldn't have the money to send me to college!" Yang Xiaotong replied.
Looking at this old house full of historical traces, I seemed to see an old man with gray hair and a benevolent face, walking towards me step by step with a smile
Just when I was lost in thought, there was a rush of footsteps going upstairs from downstairs. After a while, a tall, thin, honest-looking young man with a dark face walked into the room like wind
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotong rushed up to greet him, and then called out to him: "Brother, why did it take you so long to come back?"
"The road is slippery in snowy weather, the car can't drive too fast, so it's a bit late to come back." The man answered while looking at me with doubts on his face.
Immediately, I stood up and walked towards the man. Suddenly, our eyes intertwined together (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
