There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The car drove all the way, and arrived at the county seat in less than an hour. When it reached the entrance of the armed forces department, Zhou Xiaozheng let his wife sit in the car and waited. He got out of the car and went inside, found Zhao Dashan, and pulled him out, You Do you have time now? Is there someone you know in this county who specializes in helping people clean and pack things?

Zhang Dashan dragged him and shouted, Xiao Liu, if you have something to do, remember to ask someone to come to handle it early tomorrow. I'm going out to do business. After speaking, he dragged him towards the door without waiting for the other party to agree.

Brother Zheng, this is a car from the provincial capital. You have already gone to the provincial capital today? You just happen to have a car, so follow me to see people. You'd better keep your mouth shut and don't fly around. I remembered, Liu Before the professor, the old couple was old, and people often came to help with laundry and quilt covers, and they said it was the cousin's niece, so we went to find him by ourselves.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded, It is indeed the most convenient to go to Professor Liu directly. I just want to ask him about the firewall. I don't know if the fire wall will affect the furniture?

Yo, my sister-in-law is still in the car. I didn't know you were Brother Zheng's lover last time. If I had known, I would have brought my Hongli over to see you. Your Jiaojiao sees you often, but I didn't expect it to be Brother Zheng's daughter. It's really a storm We left the Dragon King Temple. Clean up the yard this time, so we can get together. After speaking, he sat down on the back seat.

Lin Lishan smiled and said to him, It's fate, we must get together, and I also ask you to take care of these two children. Brother Dashan, how can I get to Professor Liu's house? Please show me.

Don't call Brother Dashan, didn't you see Brother Zheng leaning towards me? Just call Dashan. Brother Zheng, drive straight ahead, turn right at the intersection and you will arrive at his house. It's a big yard.

Then I'll call you Lao Zhao. The old man should be at home, right?

Zhang Dashan nodded, I'll definitely be at home, I'm in my seventies, and I don't want to move anymore.

The car stopped at the gate of a large courtyard. This is an old house, it should be the ancestral house, away from the county seat, beside the main road from the county seat to the provincial capital, the courtyard environment is quiet, Zhang Dashan took Zhou Xiaozheng and his wife to knock on the iron ring at the gate , Shouted: Is Mr. Liu at home?

After yelling three times, a middle-aged woman came out to open the door. Seeing three people standing at the door, and two of them were wearing military uniforms, she immediately realized with a surprised expression, You guys bought the small yard yesterday. The old man and the old lady are in the house with the children, come in quickly.

After speaking, we greeted them and entered the compound. The courtyard was still in the style of an old man. Fruit trees were planted in the corner, and flower beds were cut. There is no landscape in the cold weather. When summer comes, you can see that it must be colorful and full of fruits. .

At the second entrance, I saw the old man asking the little great-grandchildren to recite the three-character scriptures. The three children only looked at the fruit on the desk and followed each sentence with their mouths. The old lady looked at the grandparents cheerfully.

Seeing people coming in, the old man stopped, and said to the children: Go, choose yourself, each person can only choose one. Whoever recites it first can get another one.

After speaking, he stood up towards Zhou Xiaozheng and the others, let him sit down in the living room, and said curiously: Dashan and you are old friends, is there something you don't understand in the yard, please tell me? Indicated that Zhou Xiaozheng could raise it.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at the old man, smiled and said: Old man, I really want to ask you about something I don't understand. I think your main room has a firewall, will it affect the furniture if it is burned? , Is the heated Kang and the fire wall in the main room heated as a whole or separated? I hurriedly looked at it in the morning, and I haven’t observed it carefully, so I’m taking the liberty to visit?”

Mr. Liu said with a smile to the old lady who came in: How about it, I will find someone who knows how to do it for you, and I won't wrong your heart, okay? Don't think he is a soldier, but he has very good eyesight. When he enters the living room, the first thing he sees is the broken one. The broken table and stool, especially the small one, I saw him staring at that set of chairs several times in the living room.

The old lady brought tea with a smile and put it on the tea table, Yes, you still have good eyesight as before. When you drink tea, the old man said that you will definitely come to consult when you come back last night. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask him. He's idle and bored.

Mr. Liu didn't refute, he saw his wife with a smile, and when she finished speaking, he asked Zhou Xiaozheng: When will your little son-in-law come here for a sit-down, you guys, I won't ask, I probably don't have time.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at Zhao Dashan and his wife, and said to him: The old man loves him so much, he must let him visit. You always have time to mention him more, this is his luck. Recently, my little girl is still in confinement Wife, the in-laws at home have built a yard and are busy, otherwise I will definitely come to you with us today.

Your son-in-law is nice, with righteous eyes. Come on, let me tell you about the clay stove in the living room first. That is my favorite work. You haven't started using it yet, have you? Then you must not have noticed it. I have changed it, except In addition to increasing the capacity, I also set up gates in the kang and fire wall leading to the east and west rooms. The chimney leading to the outside has also been repaired, just to avoid accidental poisoning when burning briquettes. If you usually use firewood, remember to put the fire inside the stove The iron stove has been launched. You can rest assured to use the heated kang and flue wall, which has just been renovated this year.

I also raised the roof on purpose, and added a layer of wooden boards inside, just to prevent heavy snow from pressing down on the roof in winter, to reduce gravity and insulate the cold, and to insulate the roof in summer. With more space and height, there will be no sense of depression. Summer is here, open the door leading to the bedroom, it will be windy and cool.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at him happily, this was all expected, and he also took precautions, Old man, don't tell me I haven't noticed yet, you have always taken precautions in advance of feelings.

Wait a minute, I still have something to give you. I should have given it to you yesterday. I am old and my memory is not good. I guess you will come to me before you move in. Mr. Liu went into the back room and took out a A sheet of yellowed paper.

Mr. Liu spread the paper on the coffee table, Look, this is the layout plan I drew before moving in. Everything is marked everywhere. Take a look and tell me what is unclear.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked down, the blueprint was very clear, after so many years, the paper was intact except for the yellowing, even the passage to the toilet in the courtyard was dug out, and the distance was marked in detail.

Zhou Xiaozheng pointed to the toilet, Master, this is a direct passage to the toilet. Will it freeze in winter? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?

It won't freeze, and it can be washed directly after fetching water. At the beginning, the building channel was treated with materials, and it was buried relatively deep. Unless the channel was dug for a large construction, the neighbor's house on the right also had a channel. It was paved with stone slabs , and later covered it with soil. The toilet in the room is reserved in the winter when I don’t want to go out. The toilet is placed next to the gate every morning, and a special person comes to collect it. At the beginning, because there were not enough materials, there was no pipe to go inside. .”

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded, not asking what materials to use. He was skeptical about this point, the credibility of dripping into ice in winter is really not high. He paused when he heard the old man mentioned the bathroom in the room. The old man must not be confused, right?

Master, where is the bathroom in the room?

Mr. Liu laughed loudly, and nodded his wife, Didn't you show them yesterday? Seeing his wife shaking his head in embarrassment after speaking, he immediately understood that his wife was acting out of temper - really particular.

You may not have noticed that looking at the five main rooms in the yard, the master bedroom on the east side is larger than the room on the west side. There is an east wing room on the other side, and there may be errors in sight. Push the big mirror on the wall of the master bedroom to the right. There is a dark room, I changed it into a bathroom. After speaking, Old Man Liu smiled and winked at Zhou Xiaozheng.

Zhou Xiaozheng couldn't laugh or cry, this old man really likes to make troubles. He did notice the big mirror, and he deliberately took a second look at it. Who would have expected this trick.

The well in the yard is built next to this big stone slab, which is used for laundry. There is also a sink next to it, and the water outlet below is connected to the toilet. Don't pour water into the sink in winter, it will freeze and block it. , now I cover it with wooden boards. Can you see if there is anything unclear?

It's not unclear, it's all marked. Thank you, old man, everything in your yard has been carefully arranged. Zhou Xiaozheng really felt that this yard was given to him by the old man.
