Reborn in 70s to marry a big man, Jiaojiao has one child after another

Sun Zhou patted his chest: "Are you still worried about me doing things? You can move in with your bare hands! Knowing that you are here today, I asked the aunt next door to take out the sheets and bedding the day before yesterday, dry them and wash them before putting them on the bed. "

"The five hundred briquettes we just bought in the kitchen, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, and water were brought in this morning. We can start cooking immediately."

Gu Zhiyuan knew that although Sun Zhou was more talkative, he was reliable in doing things. Since he said everything had been arranged, he turned the steering wheel and headed to his new home.

Maoer Hutong is not too far from Chang'an Avenue where he works, and it only takes ten minutes to ride a bicycle.

Not far away is the Fukui Department Store, the most famous department store in the capital, which is a good place to take a break from the bustle.

As soon as we entered the alley, the towering trees leaned out half of the courtyards on both sides, providing shade to the alley, and the heat immediately disappeared a lot.

It was already approaching evening at this time, and there were still cicadas chirping in the trees. Most of the courtyard doors were open, and there were the sounds of children chasing and playing inside, as well as old men and women wearing singlets, waving cattail fans in their hands. , sitting under the tree in the middle of the yard to enjoy the cool air.

There was also the sound of a red model opera singing from the radio, squeaking out.

The car drove into the alley, attracting many children to come out of their yards and follow behind to watch.

The small courtyard that Gu Zhiyuan bought is in the middle of the alley, not far but not close, and the location is very good.

As soon as the car stopped, Sun Zhou jumped out of the car, unlocked the yard first, opened the door and alerted the neighbors next door.

When I came out, I saw three people moving things, and I greeted them warmly.

Although it was Gu Zhiyuan who bought the house, because Sun Zhou is watching here these days, everyone is more familiar with Sun Zhou, "Xiao Sun, are you moving here? Who are the two of you?"

Sun Zhou hurriedly introduced: "Uncle Ma, this is my colleague Lao Gu. You can just call him Xiao Gu. This house belongs to him! He is busy with work and was on a business trip some time ago, so he asked me to help take care of this house. That is his partner. , they just came back from overseas. They are young and don’t understand many things. They need you to take more care of them in the future——"

Uncle Ma smiled and said, "Don't worry! Don't you know that we people in Maoer Hutong are all serious old people from the capital. If anything happens in the future, just ask Xiao Gu to speak up!"

Gu Zhiyuan carried everything into the yard, then came out, nodded to Uncle Ma, and handed over a cigarette.

When Uncle Ma saw it, it turned out to be a peony. His eyes lit up. He held it in front of his nose and took a sip. He closed his eyes in intoxication and couldn't bear to smoke, so he put it behind his ears.

Then he patted his chest and said, "Xiao Gu, right? Don't worry about you and your partner! If anything happens, just come to Uncle Ma! We live next door, and my wife is at home every day. If your partner is fine, just go find my wife." , you, Auntie Wang, ask her to take your partner to stroll around our alley and get to know the old neighbors!"

"Those of us in Maoer Hutong have been neighbors for decades, and we know everything about it and have nothing to say! They all say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. You will know this in the future!"

At the same time, he turned back and shouted into the yard: "Guodong mother, come out quickly——"

The yard agreed, and after a while, a lady with neatly combed hair and clean clothes came out. She had a kind face and looked friendly.

He raised his eyes and saw Gu Zhiyuan, and couldn't help but smile: "Hey, when did such an energetic young man come to our alley? He's so handsome! Young man, do you have a partner? Do you want me to introduce you to someone? ?”

Uncle Ma hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't you dare introduce someone to someone when you see a young guy! He has a partner! This is Xiao Gu, our new neighbor. This is your Aunt Wang. Ask your partner to come as soon as possible. Look for her, there’s no one you don’t know about your aunt in Maoer Hutong—"

Gu Zhiyuan nodded towards Aunt Wang and said apologetically: "We just came back and we haven't packed up this big pile of things yet. Once we finish packing, we will come to visit you!"

Uncle Ma and Aunt Wang both said hurriedly: "Then you are busy and you have to go. If you need help, or if you have any shortcomings, just say hello-"

Only then did Gu Zhiyuan and Sun Zhou escape and enter the courtyard.

Uncle Ma and Aunt Wang looked at each other and returned to their own yard.

Aunt Wang couldn't help but said: "Dear me, although that little Gu is handsome, his face is just a little darker. Standing in front of him, I feel like I owe him money that I haven't paid back. I always feel cold and weak."

Uncle Ma is more knowledgeable after all: "Then Comrade Gu doesn't belong to an ordinary family at first glance, otherwise he can buy a house in our alley? In the yard next door, many people have come to see it and want to buy it! We have seen those people too. However, they are not ordinary people. In the end, this young Comrade Gu succeeded. How can he be a simple person? Look, there are decent people coming from our alley——"

The old couple muttered and went back to the house.

Here, Xu Ningyan took a look at the small yard while Gu Zhiyuan and the others were chatting with their neighbors.

When entering the courtyard, there are three main rooms, east and west wing rooms, and on the side next to the alley, there is the kitchen and utility room.

Under the windows on both sides of the yard, there are two pomegranate trees planted. They are tall and large, and they look like they have been there for many years. Now they are full of fruits, with a little red on the green skin, hidden among the leaves.

There are two deck chairs under the tree.

There was a grape trellis set up at the door of the wing. In the August weather, the grape vines and leaves covered the entire trellis. There were bunches of green grapes hanging on them, which were still early in their ripeness.

Under the grape trellis, there are stone tables and stools.

There are two empty jars at the door of the kitchen, and there are small flower beds next to them, which contain a few rows of onions and vegetables grown by the previous owner.

The doors and windows are all old-fashioned wooden windows. Nowadays, what is popular in Beijing is the paper-top-glass-under-glass window. That is, the top of the window is still the old-fashioned wooden lattice paper window, and the bottom is also wooden lattice, but it is inlaid with glass.

The steps are made of bluestone, polished to be as level as a mirror, and they look quite old at first glance.

There is a faucet at the door of the kitchen, and a large cement pool is built under the faucet. The water flows along the drain into the sewer ditch.

There is a well next to it, with a round platform covered with a wooden lid.

In the middle of the yard, where the sun is the best, two ropes were thoughtfully pulled, ready to dry clothes, sheets and the like.

Xu Ningyan thought it looked familiar at first glance. Apart from the lack of a vegetable field, didn't it combine the characteristics of the old house of the Unity Brigade and the courtyard where they lived in Jingshan County?

It is estimated that if the yard is big enough, Gu Zhiyuan can recreate two vegetable fields.

When Gu Zhiyuan came in, he saw Xu Ningyan smiling and seemed to be satisfied with the yard, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since he bought this yard, he had thought about living here with Xu Ningyan in the future, and he was afraid that she wouldn't be used to it, so the design almost copied the way he lived in Jingshan County.

Of course, more details will make living more comfortable.
