Leaving Pearl River Lijing, Ye Chen hurried to the vegetable market.
The time has been delayed a lot. If I don¡¯t hurry up and buy the vegetables back, my wife won¡¯t be able to eat lunch when I get home from get off work.
Although Jinling is an ancient city, its atmosphere of modernization is getting stronger and stronger. The buildings in the old city have been destroyed, demolished and rebuilt, and now they have basically become the style of high-rise buildings in modern cities.
Many traditional crafts and markets in the past have gradually been replaced by various high-end shops and comprehensive supermarkets.
In the early years, there were many barbers on the side of the road, and their skills in shaving their heads and faces were excellent, and they could sit on the side of the road and shave their heads for two or three yuan.
But now, it has already disappeared.
Instead, there are all kinds of beautiful and high-end beauty and hairdressing centers. Those Tony teachers who are not very good at work and whose hair is not even fully grown can start with one or two hundred yuan for a random haircut. When encountering unscrupulous merchants, they will trick customers into applying for a card, and they will be cheated of thousands of dollars by cutting their heads, which can be found everywhere.
In the past, there were many horse-drawn carts and donkey carts on the side of the road. Farmers in the countryside picked vegetables from the fields in the morning, and then drove them to the city to sell them. The vegetables and fruits were fresh and cheap.
However, these years, animal-drawn vehicles are not allowed to enter the city, and even traditional vegetable markets are becoming less and less, so that most people can only go to supermarkets to buy vegetables.
The quality of the vegetables in the supermarket is not very good, but the price is surprisingly expensive. It costs more than ten yuan to buy any cabbage.
This also made this ancient city gradually lose the fireworks atmosphere of traditional life.
In fact, Ye Chen usually doesn't like to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, and it always feels less interesting.
Therefore, he often goes to a protected old residential area in the old city, where there is a very lively vegetable market.
The reason why I like to go to that old residential area is not only because it is more down-to-earth, but also because it is hidden in Ye Chen's heart, and no one tells it.
In the past, when he and his parents first arrived in Jinling, their parents especially liked the characteristics of the old city of Jinling.
There are many old-fashioned buildings left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China. This architectural style is very different from the north, and parents like it very much.
Because of his deep love for traditional culture, his parents rented an old house in the old city. After his father renovated it, the family lived very comfortably.
Later, when his parents had an accident and Ye Chen entered the orphanage, he would often sneak out with his friends Zhao Hao and Li Xiaofen to visit the old city.
At that time, Zhao Hao, Li Xiaofen and the others thought that Ye Chen was playful and wanted to sneak out to play.
But what they didn't know was that Ye Chen was actually just thinking about his parents.
? After his parents had an accident that year, the house was rented out for a few years, changing batch after batch of tenants.
Later, the house was bought by people who invested in real estate and waited for the demolition to appreciate.
Later, the house and the nearby old buildings were classified as a historical building protection area, and demolition and overturning were expressly prohibited, so the house remained vacant for a long time.
Ye Chen also inquired quietly before. It is said that the person who invested in this house is the initiator of a real estate speculator group in Wencheng. Although this old house cannot be realized in his hands, this amount of money is nothing to him. , so this house has been thrown away like this.
Later, the house speculator was involved in a lawsuit because he was suspected of illegal fundraising in other places, and the house was sealed up by the court.
Two or three years ago there were rumors of an auction, but because the case involved in that person was relatively large, and the case had not been finalized in the past two years, so it never entered the foreclosure process.
The vegetable market where Ye Chen went to buy vegetables was not too far from this old house, so he decided to stop by and have a look.
On the way Ye Chen rode his bicycle, a Rolls Royce had already parked in front of this mottled old house.
On the co-pilot of the Rolls-Royce, an old man stepped down. This man was the old housekeeper of Yanjing Du's family in Jinling.
After the old housekeeper got out of the car, he nimbly opened the door of the rear seat, and respectfully said to the woman sitting in the car: "Second Miss, we are here."
The woman sitting in the car was Du Haiqing.
After she got off the plane, she first brought her two children with the old housekeeper back to the old house of the Du family. After she settled the room and luggage, she hurriedly asked the old housekeeper to take her to see the place where Ye Changying lived before his death. .
As for the brothers and sisters Su Zhifei and Su Zhiyu, they each have their own plans.
?Su Zhifei went to the orphanage to discuss donations, while Su Zhiyu held his laptop and continued to search for thousands of portraits.?The trace of Ye Chen.
Du Haiqing was also happy and relaxed. After all, he came to the house where Ye Changying, the love of his life, lived before his death. It was more or less inappropriate to bring a pair of children with him.
At this time, Du Haiqing was extremely nervous.
Although she knew that Ye Changying had been dead for many years, she could still feel a strong sense of tension when she came here.
Just like the years when I was young and loved Ye Changying, every time I saw him, or was about to see him, I couldn't control my heartbeat and shortness of breath.
With a beating heart in his arms, Du Haiqing got out of the car and looked at this small southern-style courtyard through the courtyard wall.
The stone wall of the yard is very low, and there are many hollow shapes made of blue bricks in the middle, so that people can easily see the situation in the yard.
At this time, the yard was full of yellow weeds and fallen leaves from the trees. The osmanthus tree in the yard had already withered into dry wood because no one took care of it.
On the wall of the main building, there are a large number of dead wall-climbing tigers.
At this time, the whole small courtyard looks extremely dilapidated, but Du Haiqing can imagine that if it is well maintained, the courtyard will be lush and lush when it is rainy in spring and summer, coupled with the green grass and green trees in the courtyard, then The view must be breathtaking.
Moreover, although the yard is not big, it can be seen that although the yard is not big, the architecture is very elegant.
Green bricks are used to make walls, green tiles are used to build roofs, and blue stones are used to pave roads.
The summer in the south is humid. If it rains, the green bricks and stones must be covered with moss.
The moss itself has a very natural old feeling. For those who don't like it, the moss is dense, slippery, and somewhat disgusting to the touch.
But for those who like ancient oriental culture, this is a very poetic and very Zen creature.
Whether it grows in the yard, or grows on the fence, by the pond, or in the bonsai, there is a special kind of delicacy and tranquility.
Therefore, moss has always been loved by literati.
At this moment, in Du Haiqing's eyes, this dilapidated small courtyard has restored the scene and charm of Ye Changying's residence.
In her mind, the young and handsome Ye Changying even played with his children in this yard.
Fascinated by watching, Du Haiqing felt that Ye Changying was really in this yard, and the little boy whose face could not be seen was his son, and was circling around him non-stop.
Immediately afterwards, the dilapidated closed door inside opened, and a woman with a dignified and beautiful appearance, a tall and outstanding figure, and an apron tied around her waist walked out from the inside.
The woman smiled and beckoned the father and son to come in for dinner. The scene of a family of three playing the harp and zither was very enviable.
Du Haiqing, who was caught in a conjecture, took a closer look and saw the woman's face clearly.
The woman in her imagination was not Ye Changying's original wife, but Du Haiqing herself! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
