Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

Tian Zheng knew it was Xu Zhan who came. He did this on purpose. "Why are you coming to my house on a snowy day instead of staying at home? You are old, but you still think you are young. I don't want to see you walk in front of me, because then there will be no one to argue with me." Tian Zheng walked up to Xu Zhan, patted the snow off his body, and then helped him take off his coat.

Although they often quarreled, they still cared about each other very much. Although Tian Zheng said this, he was still worried that Xu Zhan would fall and hurt his old arms and legs. Although they were reluctant to admit that they were old, their bodies were not as good as before. Especially Xu Zhan's leg was injured. At that time, the base suffered from white terror, and the base was blocked by the enemy. There were very few iodine tablets and anti-inflammatory drugs for disinfection, and many officers and soldiers could only carry it themselves. Xu Zhan was in a coma for two days because of his leg injury. Fortunately, he survived that period, but now his leg hurts whenever the weather gets cold. Tian Zheng was really afraid that he would fall on the way here, and he really couldn't accept that.

"Hey, you old thing, why are you cursing me? This little bit of wind and snow is nothing, it's not as good as our Long March back then. I come here in the heavy snow, and you don't even bother to make me some tea? Is this how you, Old Tian, ​​treat your guests?" Xu Zhan, who took off his coat, was not polite and sat down on the sofa.

"Humph, you can't go out in the heavy snow just to drink some tea, right?" Tian Zheng said as he prepared to make tea for Xu Zhan. Of course, this was ration tea, and he couldn't bear to give good tea to this old man who couldn't drink tea. "Drink your tea and get out of here quickly. It's almost time for dinner and I don't have time to keep you for dinner. We have to have a family reunion dinner later. What are you and your son doing here?" Tian Zheng handed a small cup of tea to Xu Zhan and said.

"Come on, Old Tian, ​​don't I know you? You're not busy at all, but you don't have anything to leave for me to eat. Xu Yuan, bring the food over." Xu Zhan picked up the teacup with a smile, took a sip, and then looked at Old Man Tian.

After Xu Zhan said this, Tian Dazhi and Tian Zheng saw Xu Yuan walking towards them carrying a cloth bag.

"Xu Yuan, what's in this? Is your father hiding something bad?" Tian Zheng took a look at the bag and then looked at Xu Yuan and spoke.

"I say, Old Tian, ​​are we that kind of person? Xu Yuan, tell him what's going on here. He just thinks others are the same as him every day." Xu Zhan shook his head disdainfully and said

"Uncle Tian, ​​I heard that Dazhi's family is back, and there's a snowstorm here. My dad thought you didn't buy anything to eat, so he asked me to pack some vegetables and pork and bring them over." Xu Yuan said as he opened the cloth bag to reveal various vegetables, pork, and even some fruits inside.

"Who said there is no food in my house? You are just talking nonsense. If you want to send me something, just say it. Why do you say it like this?" Tian Zheng snorted coldly, stood up, walked to the cabinet next to him and took out a box of tea. Needless to say, this box was of course his private collection.

Of course Xu Zhan also saw Tian Zheng's behavior, so he just smiled and said nothing. After all, he had achieved his goal at this point. Tian Zheng said that he had vegetables at home, but he still took out his private collection of tea. Is there any need to say more? Obviously, he really had no vegetables, so he was thanking him!

The two old men were chatting downstairs, while Tian Dazhi and Xu Yuan went upstairs to chat. After all, they grew up together and had a lot to talk about after not seeing each other for so long. As for the vegetables, of course they were sent to the kitchen. Otherwise, did Tian Zheng really plan to cook some vegetables for his children and grandchildren in the evening?

After staying for a long time, Xu Zhan finally took Xu Yuan back home. However, the journey home was quite difficult. Xu Zhan's condition on the way back was not the same as when he came. His legs were in great pain. If Xu Yuan hadn't supported him, he probably wouldn't have been able to go back.

Yi Zhonghai had just returned home. He hurried home after the factory notified him to stop working. When he got home, he was covered in snow. After entering the house, Yi Zhonghai quickly lit the coal stove to keep warm. Looking at the empty house, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sigh. How would he live without his aunt?

After being busy with factory matters during the day, he now has to face reality when he returns home. "Lihua, Lihua, why are you doing this? We can discuss anything properly. There's no need to do this, right?" Yi Zhonghai muttered to himself as he sat in front of the coal stove.

Of course, Auntie didn’t know what Yi Zhonghai said. If she knew, she would have cursed at him. Now that things have come to this, what else is there to discuss?

The aunt on the train had already left Tianjin Railway Station. Fortunately, she chose to leave early, otherwise she would have to wait until the blizzard stopped two days later. The blizzard only swept the area north of the city, so the aunt's train was able to continue south to Shanghai, which was also a kind of luck.

No one was prepared for the sudden snowstorm in the city, but there was nothing we could do about it. The best way to deal with it was to stay home and not make trouble. Of course, this also required that there was food at home. If there was no food at home but only coal briquettes, then it was all over.

Fortunately, most families in Beijing have stockpiled a lot of Chinese cabbage during this period. Although the food is not very good, they are not starving. Who would care about what to eat if they can't eat soon?

At night, every family in the compound lit a fire and started cooking, but there was only one family who did not light a fire, and that was Yi Zhonghai!

It's not that he's not hungry, nor that he doesn't know how to cook, but that there's nothing he can cook at home! Since divorcing Auntie, he has been eating at the deaf old lady's house most of the time, and buying breakfast every day. Auntie simply took all the food from his house to the deaf old lady's house.

But the old lady didn't bring back any flour or anything else when she left this time. His house was empty, so what was the point of cooking? Yi Zhonghai estimated that the snow wouldn't last too long, so he could go out tomorrow and bring back all the food from the old lady's house and buy some food to keep at home. After all, he would be alone in the future, so he should prepare some food.

Smelling the various aromas coming from the yard, Yi Zhonghai's stomach soon growled. Then he remembered that many people who had given him gifts a few days ago had brought snacks and so on. Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai quickly went into the utility room to find something to eat.
