Ten Mile Room

Jiang Gezi said he wanted to come back, but in the end he had to go to Zhongzhou to receive a medal, then go back to Beiyan to cut the ribbon, and appeared on three or five national talk shows. Lian Yanzi wandered around Laosan Alley for two months before he came back.

When he came back the night before, he plunged into his bed and snored like thunder without seeing anyone.

When he got up early the next morning, he saw Lian Yanzi sitting beside him staring at him with eyes full of grievances.

So scary.

The man was walking more and more quietly, and Jiang Gezi couldn't even hear him enter the house with his hearing loss.Of course, this is also related to the fact that he returned to his own territory to relax and feel safe enough.

He rubbed his eyes, and scolded Lian Yanzi unceremoniously: "It's early in the morning~ You are sick!"

This man was really sick. He was wearing a set of pure white witch clothes early in the morning, and his hair was two feet long. He hadn't combed it, but he was wearing it casually, and knelt and sat motionless in front of his bed.

Short of a burning pot and two hanging paper money, this is just like a funeral.This image was seen by people in the middle of the night, and it scares to death. Both of them are saying to calm down, and it can scare a street to death.

Lian Yanzi wiped his face and said to him: "Oh~ you are really interesting? It's been two months, and you just say that when you see me? Don't you know about the Reformation? If I knew you were going to the Golden Palace, I would If you don’t come back, it’s like going to jail.”

He couldn't say a word, and after he finished speaking, he stood up and stretched out his hand to push open the closet on one side, and began to arrange Jiang Gezi's clothes.

Jiang Gezi got up in confusion, and looked at the disheveled New Era Master Wu from behind: "Your hairstyle? It's interesting, is this your religious reform?"

Lian Yanzi said without turning her head: "Yes, so that everyone can receive more business. What you say should have a sense of ceremony."

Jiang Gezi scratched his face in wonder, did he say that?

"Those old monks play drums and chimes when they go out, and ten people can form a small band. They look official! Like genuine ones! When we go out~ we just bring a miniature tool. Every time the employer gives money, he always looks dissatisfied. Satisfied." He pointed to his face again: "Now rely on my face to support some face, as your majesty said well, corporate image is very important."

It seems that Death Wants Money Pai has officially entered the market and is beginning to feel the pressure of the market.

Jiang Gezi laughed and shook his head, took out the old and new shirts from among the dozens of identical sets of old shirts in the cabinet on one side, and put them on for himself. After finishing the work, he said to Lian Yanzi: "When I came out from there, your witches A few old men cried with me, as if you had passed away forever."

Lian Yanzi closed the luggage cover, and said with a disdainful tone unconsciously: "Don't talk to them, they really think that I will live in the Golden Palace for the rest of my life and work for them."

He stood up, walked to the window of the bedroom on the second floor, stretched out his hand to open the window and said, "I am Beiyan's witch!"

As soon as the window was opened, there was the bustle and bustle that only belonged to tourist attractions, and the smell of cheap seasonings of various foods suddenly wafted in.Accompanied by the original taste of these hometowns, there are also songs belonging to Deng Changnong and others from far or near.

Lian Yanzi said: "I stayed in this yard for two whole months, and I didn't even dare to go out. When I went out, a bunch of robbers took a group photo, heh~ They didn't use me as a background for nothing, and gave a tip of fifty renminbi every time. Don't you think it's the same here as before?"

Jiang Gezi stood by the window and looked at the Yuanbao River in the back street of Sanxiang. There were crowded small boats coming and going. Looking down from a high place, tourists from all over Gaelic blocked the place.

I've seen traffic jams, and it's the first time I've seen Cypriots after being in Gail for so long.

Fortunately, although the weather is hot, the vines of the mutated privet tree cast a ten-mile-long shade on the river bank.And girls wearing local costumes, wearing silver ornaments on their heads, but with strange facial features are selling all kinds of weird things on the river bank.

Their laughter is clear and their smiles are sweet.

But this is not the old third lane in my impression.

Lian Yanzi looked outside and said, "You thought it was the same as before. Since your documentary, and since you became Beiyan's Prince Peiwu, you can't come back, and Lao Sanxiang can't go back either."

Jiang Gezi exhaled lightly, leaned on the window and looked down, and said, "Isn't this good? Grandma Duan is no longer worried about the price increase of fried dough sticks~ is it?"

Lian Yanzi smiled: "Yes, at least now ~ no one comes to your house to ask for shrimp paste... By the way, Mrs. Duan Si told me that Mrs. Qian stole our cage cloth."

Jiang Gezi was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned his face to ask him, "What? What is it?"

Lian Yanzi narrated with a serious expression: "Fourth sister-in-law Duan said, it's best not to let that family in in the future, they stole our cage cloth."

He made a gesture: "A big bag, pure cotton, a total of seven yuan, just let us go if you haven't used it once."

Owning a private land, the prince of a country, the savior who saved Gale stared blankly at the greatest witch in the empire, and let out a chuckle.

"...It's so serious, there are seven yuan! Then we can't let her come to the door."

Even Swallow laughed and said, "Welcome back."

Jiang Gezi hugged him and replied mockingly, "This is my home."

Lian Yanzi nodded: "You seem to have forgotten that my household registration is here."

Jiang Gezi really forgot about it.

Just as he was about to say something, Fourth Sister-in-law Duan yelled from below the second floor: "Grandpa! Grandpa? Uncle Huang is here to shave your head."

When the children who left home are in front of their elders, apart from eating and drinking, they always like to urge the younger generation to tidy up themselves, even if the younger generation is full of western style, it does not fit their aesthetics.

Anyway, they always have to do something.

Lian Yanzi looked at Jiang Gezi's head with some sympathy. This was the skill of Weiyang Palace's first image consultant. He pointed to the downstairs, and Jiang Gezi shrugged helplessly.

In the courtyard with the sound of the water piano, the sun is shining, the privet is blowing a little wind, and the noise of the market has destroyed some artistic conception, but it is also very comfortable and cozy.

Jiang Gezi sat calmly in the yard shaving his head wrapped around a large drape, while in front of him sat a group of old ladies and aunts who were doing needlework.

Mrs. Duan, Mrs. He, Mrs. Deng, and the fourth wife and all kinds of wives chattering about the scourge of Tranquility, visiting Mr. Ganzi to shave his head.

Master Ganzi is divine, so they figured it out, the hair that fell out will be picked up and divided, and then sewed into the purse to keep the cubs at home safe.

By this time, they had long forgotten that praying to the privet tree was a fairy tale collectively fabricated by the neighbors.

As the broken hair fell in groups, the old ladies remembered to worry.

Grandma Duan told Uncle Huang: "I said, Uncle, you should be on the safe side and give our grandpa a good rest, don't be bitten by a dog..."

Uncle Huang's hand was very steady, and he snorted disdainfully: "Fuck you, how many heads have you seen? This is the hairstyle in Mingchuan's advertisement, and it is the most popular in Zhongzhou. Young people nowadays People love this look the most! Watch honestly from the sidelines, don’t make trouble~ My hands are shaking.”

Who told someone to be an uncle, Grandma Duan was pushed back, she snorted and returned to her seat without saying a word.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was blocked for a while, Fourth Sister-in-Law Duan quickly changed the subject: "Grandfather, you are back. Let me give you a good news first. Our old Duan's family will have a happy event next month."

Yo!

Jiang Gezi was also happy when he heard that, so he asked, "Is this Weng Lian who has found someone to form a bond with? Where is he from?"

The fourth sister-in-law knew that Jiang Gezi was thinking of the eldest grandson of the old Duan family.

She smiled and shook her head and said: "I knew you thought of Weng Lian. He is out of town with the nobleman. It's our family Weng An. This kid can be regarded as beating his brother once."

Jiang Gezi didn't dare to move his neck, so he smiled stiffly and said, "Yo! It's Weng'an, this kid can do it."

Grandma Duan laughed when she heard her grandson's name. She clapped her hands and said, "That's not right! Isn't this brat studying at a state military academy? I found a young lady from a rich family..."

Before Grandma Duan finished speaking, Deng Changnong's grandma interjected: "Blow it, blow it! My wife, you can blow it up, and you're still a young lady from a rich family? Do you think that as long as they are from the state capital, they are from rich families? Oh, let alone the state capital? How many times have I seen the lady in my cloth shoe store in Zhongzhou? They are reluctant to part with a pair of cheap embroidered old shoes for two hundred dollars. Right? It’s far away from our local ones!”

Hearing her sourness, old Grandma Duan was not angry at all, she sat cross-legged under the porch and said happily: "Anyway, my Weng An is about to form a bond, and your grandson~ is still dancing around the country with a broken pipa ?”

"The pipa is next to you? Cough..."

Leader Xue's muffled voice came from the corner of the yard, and the old ladies in the yard didn't know when this blind old man got in.

Grandma Duan was taken aback, and when she saw carefully that it was Team Leader Xue, she stood up and went to help her: "Oh! You said it's a hot day, why are you hanging out with a group of us old wives? Hurry up and lean in the shade. .”

Following the coughing of Leader Xue, he was helped to the porch, and a soft pillow was placed on his back, making him half-lying comfortably.

Leader Xue is sick, very serious.

Jiang Gezi was the first to know about his illness.

In the first year, Jiang Gezi paid for all the old people over 60 years old in the whole alley to have a physical examination, and only then did they find out that Mr. Xue's liver was almost useless.People say that qi hurts the liver, I don't know how many unbearable knots have accumulated in this old man's heart, he is afraid that it has been the past two years.

People in the streets and alleys are never emotional. They surrender to their fate and accept all the laws of nature. They feel that when people live in this world, they should grow up, study, suffer and die, and no one can stop them.

The Goddess of the Earth wants to accept people, who can disobey her?

Ever since he knew that Master Xue was seriously ill, this old man has become an old man in the whole alley. Every household has to actively condolence and take care of him. bowl.

No matter how naughty a child is, he will quietly follow him all the way when Mr. Xue passes by lighting a blind stick.

They are accompanying in their own way.

Uncle Huang brushed the hair off Jiang Gezi's neck, took off his scarf, and showed Jiang Gezi the mirror he had prepared earlier, "Look! That's right...spirit~cough~ Is it too much?"

Jiang Gezi looked in the mirror, turning his head from side to side, um, and shaving it from side to side, he was Runtu and his younger brother Gantu.

Thanks to his human appearance, this face can support all hairstyles.So he smiled indifferently and said, "It's good, it's so neat and cool."

The anxious Uncle Huang was finally relieved, he tidied up his stuff neatly, and ran away before picking up his hair.

In the past few days, he didn't plan to come. Even if he had a thousand words for Grandpa Gan in his heart, he still had to wait for Grandpa's hair to grow longer before coming.

Jiang Gezi patted the chilly nape of his neck, sat down next to Leader Xue and asked him, "Recently~ how are you doing?"

Leader Xue snorted and replied: "It's okay if you don't check it. If you check it, you will die! What do you think of me?"

Jiang Gezi ignored his harsh words, but picked up his thin-skinned exposed tube, stroked his callused hand and said, "Old class leader, come and live here with me tomorrow, your basement is damp. "

Leader Xue shook his hand, but still said in a firm tone: "I won't come! You are a master who comes and goes. I am an opera singer, and I have to live under the stage. You~ you don't care about that." Too many, I have someone to take care of me, I have movie fans, I have apprentices, Ming Chuan and the others are very filial."

Jiang Gezi patted the back of his hand wordlessly.

Leader Xue held Jiang Gezi's hand behind his back and said, "Grandpa, I want to cause you some trouble this time."

Jiang Gezi nodded, and said sincerely, "Hey, tell me, no matter what, I'll take care of it for you."

A shy expression appeared on the old man's face and he said: "Ahem~ Grandpa, I want to take the boys to Duncan Island. They said that Duncan's ten-year music and art conference will be held, and I don't want to win any awards. I just want to go to the stage over there and yell, you~cough cough~ do you understand?"

Jiang Gezi made a gesture, and the old man felt a little ashamed when he couldn't see it: "Look! I, a blind old man, don't have that much talent, but I started talking nonsense..."

Jiang Gezi's throat was dry, so he also coughed, stuffed his throat and said: "Yes~ Yes! Look what you said? Isn't it Duncan? You are always willing to shout, let alone a broken island, it is the royal family of the Golden Palace." I will send you to the concert hall!"

"Really?"

"Really! I'll arrange it later."

The old man's body slowly relaxed, with a complete expression: "Then~ that's good, don't worry, I'm rich, really, I'm not old or young. My three little cubs are really good at it. Everyone respects me."

His tone was full of showing off: "Tell me, my life is so interesting! I am old, and I will have a child! They said~ If there is a cub in the future, the family will give me one."

Grandma Deng smiled and said from the side: "Which one is enough? Old leader, I'm the master of Changnong's cub! I'll give you everything tomorrow!"

After Mr. Xue showed off his offspring, he showed off his clothes to Jiang Gezi, the kind he would wear after death.

He shook Jiang Gezi's hand and said, "Grandpa, have you seen the clothes they made for me?"

According to Chang Hui's rules, if the children are filial, the old man must prepare clothes for him before he dies.

Hearing what Team Leader Xue said, Jiang Gezi realized that the old ladies in the first hospital really had jobs in their hands, some made shoes, some made inner clothes, and some embroidered.

When Team Leader Xue mentioned the clothes, someone handed Jiang Gezi a beautiful hem.

Jiang Gezi looked down and saw that the pattern of Wanfu Xiangyun was embroidered on this piece of brocade.

Although this embroiderer is mediocre, if any old man can get handmade by a lady in the alley, it will not be possible without great virtue.

The old man couldn't see it, so he enviously asked for confirmation: "Grandpa, do you see~ it looks good?"

Jiang Gezi touched the embroidery, and smiled sincerely: "Look at what you said, this is the handicraft of my little grandma. Let me tell you, there are 99 patterns of blessings on the inside and outside of your clothes."

Old Mrs. He said enviously: "Isn't it just 99? Look at this satin. It's something from our old silk and satin factory. Where can I find such a thing now? It means that the old troupe owner has a lot of money. When I leave, I will be content with a piece of brocade like this."

It is important that this is native silk.

Team leader Xue's little tsundere offends again, and he snorts: "What are you talking about? Where did you find such a thing? It's gone long ago! We don't grow any mulberry trees in Changhui County. On Shishang, a theater fan sent it, does Jinyunli Silk and Satin Zhuang Shaodong know about it?"

"Yo, I just agreed, it was Jinyunli, I remember my mother had a bed curtain like this, but Jinyunli disappeared later, so I couldn't find this kind of satin, not even on Old Thirteenth Street .”

A group of old ladies surrounded a dry old man, talking about things after death without any scruples. One said that the children had chosen a cemetery, and the other said that the children had made colorful coffins to prolong their lives...

Anyway, except that Jiang Gezi was a little sad, they didn't seem to care much about it.

Jiang Gezi saw the lively talk over there, so he whispered to Qi Ren who had been standing in the corridor with his arms folded and observing quietly: "Tomorrow, you go to the old shop in the city, and the fee will be charged to me, so I will give the old man a premium price." wooden……"

However, Qi Ren interjected and said: "Sir, I'm afraid you won't be able to intervene in anything. Ever since we knew that Master Xue was ill, the three apprentices have already taken care of everything. The inner paint of the coffin is made of others The three with brushes put on it with their own hands..."

A virtuous old man is about to go, and the whole neighborhood will prepare for his funeral, because it is too lively, and even those who are about to die have no time to mourn.

However, there is another kind of death, which few people mourn. Everyone still has a vague feeling that she is going to die, and the days to come can be regarded as getting out of her head.

Jiang Gezi's grandma by blood has probably been too tight with money since she had a stroke, or maybe she was mean and selfish all her life, and the children who stayed by her side only showed it for the sake of money. Intimate care can be seen by individuals, this old lady does not have this blessing.

If the old lady were to die, she would also be sober. Really, people always know that they can't take anything with them when they are dying.

She was lying on a hospital bed in a very luxurious local hospital, although her children always said it was better to be at home?

But where is home?

Chang Hui's land has become valuable, and Duan's house in the old living area has long been converted into a real estate.

After the Jiang family received the compensation, except for Mrs. Jiang Zengzhi, who had a son and a daughter together, the family bought a decent small high-rise house in the outer city.

That house is too expensive, each set is around 150 guan.

But even so, none of the whole family was happy.

They passed by Si Wanguan. The married woman felt that the mother bought furniture for the sons, but the son, daughter-in-law and grandson felt that why should they buy real estate for those who went out to make a contract?

At that time, the Jiang family quarreled and complained, and felt that the world was unfair, brothers were weak, and sisters were disgusting.

As soon as Mrs. Jiang got angry, she took the rest of the huge sum of thousands of dollars, and her wife who had been taciturn all her life, turned around and went to the best nearby hospital to wait for her death.

Today was originally the old lady's birthday, and 70 years old is her birthday, but the old man and old lady received a summons from the court, saying that they broke the law.

Speaking of which, the old lady felt wronged.

She was about to die, so she didn't care about anything, and she didn't bother the third child.She didn't want to get close to Jiang Gain, although she knew in her heart that she was sorry for her third son, but she wasn't going to apologize either.

Waiting for the messenger to leave, she took her old man's hand and said: "I hid the rest of the money, don't be fooled by them, they are not good people know... "

But her husband pushed her hand away.

The old man said: "Give it to whoever you like, I have a pension, and I don't depend on anyone."

In his life, he had never said such a serious word to the old lady.

Old lady Jiang was taken aback, she looked at her empty hand and suddenly she became afraid.

She had a stroke, but fortunately she could still speak clearly, so she asked, "What's wrong with you, old man?"

The old man looked down at her face, and it took him a long time to summon up the courage to say to her: "A few days ago, I went to Lao San's house."

The old lady became angry when she heard this.

"He sued us, and you still go on the pole to lick people's buttocks? You are thick-skinned..."

She insulted her habitually, but her old man suddenly laughed.

He smiled and said: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, just like what you said, old woman, you are unlucky to marry me. In fact, I am also unlucky enough. Since we dislike each other, I told San'er, and immediately I made my will, and I chose sea burial."

The old lady was trembling all over, and asked word by word, "You said, what did you say?"

The old man nodded resolutely: "I don't want to be buried with you anymore. In my generation, no one can protect me, and the children haven't been educated well, so I just think about it~ After I die, I will turn into ashes and blow with the wind. That’s it, I’m not going to be with you anyway.”

The old lady had a fierce look on her face: "Don't even think about it!"

The old man was as happy as victory: "If you are dead, who will care about you? Don't even think about it. When you were young, you threatened the children with my little salary, and later you sold my little four again and again. twice……"

"I didn't sell it!!"

"You sold it! I sold it to my in-laws and asked for [-] guan in compensation. I didn't mention it a while ago? Look now, what can you do with the remaining [-] guan? Give it back to me? I don't want it, Even though I am quite disgusting..."

The old lady clutched her old man's sleeve tightly, but the old man pulled out the piece of cloth unceremoniously, and even patted the ashes in distaste.

This old woman used to like to ridicule her husband the most. I made a bond with you because my ancestors did not have any virtue. I owed you so I came to your house to suffer... Why are you so worthless... Why are you so useless...

The old couple had their own faults, and Lao Jiangtou was really not an ambitious person.He came from an ordinary background and had no knowledge, so he finally found the old lady Jiang, who was of the right family. Originally, he wanted to ask anyone not to dislike anyone?However, Mrs. Jiang loves to be sharp and sarcastic. This old man has been suppressed all his life because of his cowardice, and he is like an invisible person at home.

He thought that he was just a worthless person, with black hearts and black lungs all his life, and his greatest wish in life was to wait for the death of his bonded partner, and when she died, he would be completely free.

The old lady Jiang shouted to the old man in the corner with all her strength: "You, come here!!"

The old man huddled in the corner and bravely refused: "I won't go, but if you have the ability, come here..."

In the midst of the commotion, their favorite eldest son came in panickedly holding a summons and shouted: "Mom! We call the shots."

He walked up to his mother and cried, "Mom! The third child is going to live a better life! He has no conscience! His son is now a prince. Do you think there is such a reason in this world? Are you He is his own mother, my father is his own father, so according to the law, he... he should also control us, right?"

The guy is obviously a lawless guy, but he's as messy as his mother is.

He said again: "Mom, you have to take care of yourself. When you feel better tomorrow, I will carry you to Laosanxiang. I don't believe it. There is no reason in this world? Right, Mom? "

After he finished speaking on his own, he looked at his mother again.

Mrs. Jiang looked at her eldest son. At this time, she should understand what should be understood, and what should be confused should also be understood.

She suddenly cried, decoration expenses, children's education expenses, food expenses, living expenses... During this period of time, they will only come when they are short of money. What do I owe them?

Boss Jiang saw her crying, so he said viciously: "Look! How angry you are, Mom, don't be sad, your son is not promising for me, but the courage to take you to ask for justice is some……"

The old lady Jiang suddenly laughed, wiped away the dirty tears with trembling hands and said, "Son, come here, Mom has a private word with you."

Boss Jiang was taken aback for a moment, he looked back at his father, smiled and lowered his head and said to his mother in a doting tone: "Mom, look at you, I'm already this old..."

He lowered his head and slowly approached his mother's mouth.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang suddenly opened her mouth and bit the soft flesh on Boss Jiang's neck, and he refused to let go.

Boss Jiang screamed heart-piercingly.

This is a well-equipped, expensive private hospital.

As Boss Jiang screamed, nurses and doctors trotted over.

The old man Jiang passed them by with a smile, and he nagged with his hands behind his back and tears all over his face: "Good bite, congratulations, warm congratulations, congratulations~ I have grown my brains! I understand! The bite is good... ...it's time to wake up, it's time to wake up...Celebrate..."
