Ten Mile Room

On the day of early summer, Lian Yanzi personally cooks pancakes, a new dish to welcome the summer. This person's cooking skills are getting better and better these days, and he has completely mastered the mother-in-law's meal in Laosanxiang.

People are smart, that is, they will read everything once.

Only one bad thing.

Originally not worrying about food and clothing, a person who worried about the green mountains and green waters for the ancients all the year round, but now he has become a ghost carrying a vegetable basket and leading a group of mothers-in-law to conquer the vegetable market.

While Lian Yanzi baked the vegetable cakes and Jiang Gezi was eating with bowls, a visitor suddenly came to the house.

The person leading the way for the visitors was the under-officer on the other side of the street, but behind him was a neat and capable 24-year-old woman.

The woman smiled and came up to salute Jiang Gezi, claiming that she was the director of Yu's reception, and her surname was Mo.

Ink of ink.

Ms. Mo came to the door with gifts. In addition to fifty condolences, she also brought four high-end door gifts.

Two bottles of red wine from a well-known winery in Zhongzhou, six packs of high-quality pastries from an old local pastry shop, ten meters of high-grade camel wool, and a pair of very hard leather shoes.

In the past, if Master Gan was asked to move, he would be given a red seal, made clothes and new shoes.

In this way, Master Pole can move his nest.

Who would have thought that they have it too?

Jiang Gezi was a little dumbfounded for a while.

When they arrived at home, Ms. Mo informed her kindly and respectfully that the ground would be broken the day after tomorrow. If Mr. Ganzi's house was willing to be used by your engineering team for construction, Mr. Yu was willing to give a maximum discount of [-]%.

Ms. Mo left politely, and within a day, both the Li family and the Duan family sent representatives to the door to express their condolences, and they all gave the same door ceremony, and put down more than a dozen blueprints for the reconstruction of the old house.

Jiang Gezi picked up the map and took a look. These drawings were really carefully drawn, and they really put a lot of thought into it.

Look at the price again, yes!I really am a poor man who herds sheep and sells jerky...

But on this night, Fourth Brother Duan and Mrs. Duan who were on the opposite side quietly came to the house again. Because of their desires, they were no longer as cheerful as they used to be.

The couple awkwardly entered the door without speaking, while Fourth Brother Duan squatted in the corner with his face flushed and hugged his head.

The Fourth Wife was sitting on the saddle near him and kept pinching him.

After pinching him twice, seeing that he would find it difficult to speak, the fourth wife had no choice but to get into the real body by herself, and carefully discussed with Jiang Gezi with a hint of embarrassment: "That what, pigeon, what~ Your fourth brother and I... came here without telling the old shopkeeper at home."

According to the rules of Laosanxiang, the head of the family is called the old shopkeeper.

Jiang Gezi took the teacup that Lian Yanzi handed to him, and then looked at a geological book that Lian Yanzi had tucked under his arm. He blinked his eyes in confusion.

This person is either reading weather books or geology books recently...

After he took a sip of water, he raised his face and asked, "Sister-in-law? What's the matter with you two?"

Why did you come here in the middle of the night.

The Fourth Wife carefully looked outside the door.

Lian Yanzi put down the teapot, put the geological book under his arm, went to the door, put down the curtain, and sat on the small bench at the door, looking out very vigilantly for sentry.

This caring treatment is only available to the couple behind him.It's really good for Jiang Gezi and him.

Jiang Gezi held back his laughter, thinking, what can the ordinary people do in this broken street!

This man is really...

But he was really wrong.

As for the fourth sister-in-law and the fourth brother, they need such protection.

With a layer of isolation, this person is psychologically safer.

In this way, the fourth wife breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Gezi, your fourth brother just won't come, you know him, hey! If you are ashamed, you can be ashamed... To tell you the truth, there are two things, I Let me talk about the first one first, you listen to it first~ Then, if you don’t want to, then you don’t need to mention the second one..."

Jiang Gezi nodded in confusion.

The fourth wife looked at her husband and winked.

Brother Duan lowered his head even more.

Whoops!Why are you so useless!

The fourth wife was helpless and aggrieved, and she stuttered and said her intentions in shame: "Gezi, you said my life is really hard! Why did I end up with such a stupid donkey! Hey, to tell you the truth, what? ~That’s what! We wanted to tell you a few days ago, wouldn’t it be a mess...Actually, let me tell your brother...Hey! We just want to buy Zhao Shu’s three shophouses! Look Is it done?"

Jiang Gezi blinked in confusion.

Zhao Shu?This name is slightly familiar.

oh!I remembered, she...

Jiang Gezi let out a chuckle: "You two are really interesting! Just buy it! Why do you ask me?"

The fourth wife raised her head in surprise: "You agreed?"

Jiang Gezi was also puzzled: "Why don't I allow your family to buy a house?"

In fact, he really had to speak.

It is said that since Zhao Shu made a small calculation and calculated a loss-making business, Jiang Gezi's younger uncle Xing Xuzhuo also disappeared.

On the day he left, Zhao Shu felt that the person had returned to her home, and she had failed in her calculations, and she was not going to bring him back. Anyway, there was no formality, and the ceremony was not completed, so she continued as if she was okay. her life.

Who would have thought that the next day she would start doing something and fail, and then start a series of unlucky situations, and finally she would not be able to work.

She originally thought that she would take away her work and hide at home for a while, waiting for the master to calm down, and then find an elder to make amends and apologize, but the old couple of the Xing family came to the door.

It's been a few days, why doesn't my son go home?

Zhao Shu naturally told the truth, saying that the person left early!

It's been seven days!

The old couple looked dumbfounded.

Just ask, why are you leaving?

It's okay if you don't ask this question, but when you ask, Zhao Shu immediately slammed the door, and directly shut the door.

The next day, I don't know who spread the gossip behind, maybe those words were a bit harsh, so the old couple came to Zhao Shu's house to make a fuss.

You said, if you don’t have it, you don’t have it. At worst, report it to the Yamen of the police station.

But Zhao Shu was in a bad mood. She was wicked and had a bad mouth, so she said a lot of heart-piercing and ugly things.

The most ugly sentence among them is: "...Hey! I want someone from me? Why did you come? No one! He died long ago, and I buried him for many days! At this moment, I am afraid that the meat will stink Is it buried...is it buried there? There are old tombs at the south gate, where to dig where it smells..."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the door vigorously and closed the door of the old couple.

Didn't I say earlier that Jiang Gezi's blood grandfather's spirit was not quite right?

These few days just happened to catch up with him sober, came to look for his younger son, and heard unpleasant words again, the old man was confused for a while, and he hanged himself when he went back at night.

The old man is gone, and the old lady is completely gone.

The next day, the old lady actually found the police station yamen in the old city. She directly took a kitchen knife and slashed her neck at the yamen gate. The blood sprayed three feet long, and the old lady disappeared instantly.

In fact, if nothing happened about He, Deng, and Lin's three families being cheated out of thousands of dollars, what happened to the Xing family would still be horrifying.

Two people were killed, one was missing, and it happened at the gate of the police station. No matter what, Jiang Gezi couldn't hide this matter.

However, Jiang Gezi and Zhao Shu were enemies, and this disaster came from gossip, so no one would dare to say a word in front of Jiang Gezi.

It took less than a day for the old lady to commit suicide, and Zhao Shu, as the key person in the case, was taken away.

Although Zhao Shu has always said that she was wronged, Xing Xuzhuo has been missing so far, and because of her nonsense, leading to the death of two innocent people, she has indeed violated the relevant criminal law. lawsuit.

Then Zhao Shu was in great misfortune. The eldest brother in her family saw the children as pitiful, and it was really shameful, so she asked Zhao Shu's opinion in the detention center, and they already knew that although there was no severe punishment, it was because of the cheap talk. , causing trouble to the local security office, and ruining the achievements of the chief officer.

Her lawsuit is settled, and Xing Xuzhuo is still missing. After all, she...will be unable to turn around for a while.

In this way, Zhao Shu entrusted her elder brother to sell her ancestral house, and divided the money into two parts, one part to compensate the Xing family, and the other part to find a good boarding school for the two children in another county. It's important to stop your studies.

What Zhao Shu thinks of in the detention center is beauty, but she is the one who offended Mr. Gan, and ordinary people really dare not buy her house.

Just like that, after a few turns, Zhao Shu's eldest brother took the two children to Duan's house, which had the best relationship with Jiang Gezi.

In fact, no matter what happened to Zhao Shu, or the three families of He Denglin, Jiang Gezi was really innocent, and he really didn't want to make trouble.

But he didn't know that without these two things, the Li family, the Yu family, and the Duan family had never had the custom of giving gifts to Master Ganzi before.

That's about it.

Fourth brother Duan and fourth sister-in-law Duan also thought about it all night. Fourth brother Duan is still at the pier saying that it is no problem to support the family with three or five pennies in cash.

But the real people at the dock also gave inside information, saying that a bigger chaebol was coming from Zhongzhou, and a bigger unloading dock was going to be built not far from them.

If people get up, the future of their small-scale companies will not be very good.

In addition, the family will have no appearance in the future, they will not be able to earn cash, and they will no longer be able to rely on them. The couple is really not in a good mood recently.

The fourth wife naturally wanted to buy the shop in Zhao Shu's house.

That's a big three-room with a bright front!

Because there was a disaster in the owner's house, there was a pole man standing in the middle, and Zhao Shu's elder brother came to the house to intercede, and even lowered the shop to two hundred guan on his own initiative, and the fourth wife was moved.

The couple lived frugally and saved enough money, but the money was not so easy to take out.

The brothers are in a big pot, and the eldest grandson of the family is worried because he has no money to go to a private school.

Then they suddenly took out more than 200 coins to buy a house?

This is not very good.

After the fourth wife finished speaking, she carefully looked at Jiang Gezi's face, and finally said: "The Zhao family is in trouble now, and your fourth brother said that you can't take advantage of others' danger, so one room was raised by [-] guan, and you and I Fourth brother... others don't know, you know the pigeon, we really don't want to take advantage of others' danger, and don't think that my sister-in-law is selfish, we... really have nothing to do, your nephew and the others But what should I do? I just found another wooden stake to make a bond, hey... all my life..."

The fourth wife was full of short-term grievances from her parents, and sat there babbling.

Jiang Gezi's expression was dull.

died?

who died?

Oh, Jiang Nan's grandpa, grandma died.

When the news of the death of the old couple came, his heart really hurt a few times.

Not for the old couple, but for the young one.

Some strange memories were suddenly pulled into my mind scene by scene.

Jiang Gezi saw a child crying in a pram. An old man was feeding him fruit puree with a small spoon, and said, "Nan Nan, if you don't eat it, grandpa gave it to the pigeon..."

After he finished speaking, he raised his spoon and gestured to the pigeons on the roof.

There was a handsome young man lying on the roof laughing and taunting him: "Nan Nan, Nan Nan, you have such a bad name, you can't eat a meal as fast as my pigeons, you are so difficult!! Ming Son, I think you won’t grow up anymore, you don’t eat well, and your appointment is not as heavy as a pigeon, and the eagle will come tomorrow, and you won’t catch one of its claws and throw it into the river..."

The child burst into tears, and one of the most powerful women he relied on ran out of the house. While running, she took off her shoes and threw them on the roof, cursing: "Fourth, just do it. Let's see if your sister comes back and doesn't clean you up!!"

She ran to the child, hugged him affectionately and coaxed him: "Oh, we Nan Nan just ignore that bad uncle. When your mother comes back later, grandma will give her a big stick to beat that bad guy..."

Pointing at the roof, the little child shouted angrily: "Sit him! Get caught by the eagle, just throw...throw it into the river!"

"Yes! Throw it into the river!"

……

In a blink of an eye, the same woman rushed into the small room with white hair and yelled at him: "You loser! You loser! Ever since I gave birth to you, my family has been in trouble... Get lost... You roll!!"

On a snowy day, the thin child walked in the snow full of grief and indignation.

He was resentful until his death...

No, it's not so much resentment, it's better to say that he is confused, he just doesn't understand why those people don't love again...

"Pigeon……"

In a daze, Jiang Gezi suddenly heard someone calling his name, his eyes gradually cleared up, he looked at the anxious Lian Yanzi, and then at the main room...

"Where is sister-in-law? Fourth brother?"

Lian Yanzi looked at him worriedly and said, "It's nothing, I'll help you?"

Jiang Gezi looked at him in confusion: "What did you say?"

Lian Ci explained patiently: "The fourth wife said that she has the money, but she can't tell her family. When the neighbors ask about the origin of the money tomorrow, they say they borrowed it from you. Don't get me wrong..."

Oh, that's all!

Jiang Gezi shook his head with a grin, and nodded again.

Lian Yanzi was very worried, so she asked, "Pigeon? Are you okay?"

Jiang Gezi covered his heart and shook his head: "It's okay, I'll go out to relax, walk alone..."

Xu Shi...remembered many things in the past, and he was unwilling...but he didn't know whether it was his own unwillingness or the child's unwillingness.

Honestly, for four years, Jiang Gezi didn't take things here seriously at all. He didn't have a sense of belonging, and he always had a kind of delusion, thinking that if he got up early one day, he would open his eyes...

Hey?

I am back again!

But, can I go back?

He stood up slowly, raised the curtain, and plunged into the night.

Seeing him leaving, Lian Yanzi stood there thinking for a long time, then he slapped himself fiercely, then lifted the curtain and shouted to the opposite side: "Sister-in-law! Fourth brother!!"

Brother Duan's big stuffy gourd head hung on the second floor of his house in no time.

Lian Yanzi pointed at Jiang Gezi's back, and was about to say something when the window next door was pushed open.

The old lady Duan poked her head out strangely, and when she saw Mr. Young Noble at the opposite door, she greeted him very kindly and cordially: "Hey, what about Young Noble, you haven't rested yet?"

After Lian Yanzi greeted the old lady, she smiled and said loudly: "No, you never rest? Pigeon bought some melons today, and I asked my fourth brother to take them back for them to taste... ..."

When the old lady heard what he said, she was immediately happy. She raised her voice and shouted loudly, "Oh! Why do you two always hang on to them? It's not easy for you to live. I'm not saying that you two... Let your hands loosen a little!"

After finishing speaking, she pretended to be indifferent and lowered her voice and said, "Tsk, the weather has been bad for the past few days! Dark fire, I also have a very bitter mouth... This person must be old..."

Before the words fell, the loud voice of the old man in the back room came out: "You motherfucker! You have lost all your teeth, are you a little bit..."

The old couple pinched each other three times a day.

Lian Yanzi stood at the door, crying and laughing. In the end, he could only let go of the door curtain, and walked around the room twenty times. He couldn't think of a way, so he had to go to the second floor and move a lot of things. Books to read at night.

Jiang Gezi walked slowly on Laosan Alley with his hands behind his back.

The fat boy holding a big carp ran past him... and the neighbors who were preparing to move and carried the furniture to the main street for tidying also kept flashing in front of his eyes.

Someone greeted him, someone saluted him, and a little girl glanced at him quietly out of the corner of her eye.

Everything seems normal and not normal.

Jiang Gezi left like a dream, he thought he didn't care about everything in his previous life, but why did his heart hurt?

He stopped at the door of the paper-making shop at the corner of the old alley, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the old Zhentou who was sitting at the door listening to foreign boxes.

Old Zhen looked at him: "Yo, it's you, it's late at night, what is this?"

Jiang Gezi smiled: "Trouble you, buy two winter clothes, and buy a few dollars of yellow paper, oh, and give me that exquisite house, and a car, um... I want a TV, I want to bring Caier's brand..."

"Oh...then just wait, I'll get it for you."

Old Zhentou took the money and entered the house. Not long after, he took two piles of things and tied them with ropes, and went out to hand them to Jiang Gezi.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't ask who died.

When Jiang Gezi walked away, he actually babbled.

"Hey, he is a benevolent child after all! It's a pity, life is hard!"

Three or four miles away from Laosan Lane, there is a place called Lianchi.

There used to be a government school here.In the end, the government school turned into fly ash, leaving a broken pond.

Adjacent to the boundary of this broken pond, there is a trade market and a naturally growing grove...

Jiang Gezi held a paper flat in his left hand, and a large bag of paper money and incense candles in his right hand.

In front of him was a large open space that had been flattened, and there was a notice board standing on the edge of the open space, and several high-end lighting lights were shining on the brows of the notice board.

babble?

What about the grove?

Gone?

When did it disappear?

Jiang Gezi looked around, then walked backwards to the notice board and looked up, only to see that there were several large characters "Yusheng Real Estate" written on it.

Below that is a large piece of antique garden architectural drawings that have been drawn. It can be seen that in the future there will be an antique high-end place called Fengming Guild Hall.

Jiang Gezi tilted his head to think, Duan's, Yu's, and Li's are considered to be the big families of Changhui, and they have their shadows in basically everything they do.

But where did this Yusheng come from?He looked up and looked at the construction unit again, none of them had a surname on their heads!

A cross-river dragon from out of town bought such a large piece of land with a wave of his hand, and was planning to invest in such a large project, but the sitting tiger didn't squeeze in?

How could someone be so optimistic about Chang Hui?

This makes some sense.

Looking at the unseen Evergreen Mountain in the distance, Jiang Gezi stared quietly for a while, then burst into laughter.

What are you thinking?

I am alone and have no children, but now I have Lian Yanzi as my companion, who knows how many days he can stay with me?

What does the happiness of common people like building a family and getting rich have anything to do with me?

This is not the home of the earth.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand, touched the paper bag a few times, found a bag of white ash, drew a big circle on the ground, sat cross-legged, lit a cigarette for himself, and Started to burn paper money.

He said: "Little brother, I'm sorry, brother just remembered today, to buy a family business for you..."

On the national highway not far away, a luxurious Panneng car was driving steadily.

Yu Dongchi sat cross-legged on the sofa in the reception room, watching TV news.

"...Yesterday, the Zhongzhou royal family officially opened the Summer Palace located in Quemei Mountain to the public. This is the No. 12 palace that the Eastern Continent royal family has opened to the public in recent years. The Quemeishan Summer Palace was originally the eighth heir to the throne. ..."
