Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 3 Settlement
When the third mother saw her man coming out, she hurriedly motioned for him to see Li Heng.

"Who do you look like?" The third master was a little surprised at his wife's reaction, but he adjusted his glasses and looked over.

He was startled by this look: "Xiao Yuan? You're not... No, no, this comrade looks older and darker than Xiao Yuan. What's going on?"

While talking, he looked at his wife, and then at Xiaomeng.

"Third Lord, this is Li Yuan's eldest brother, the eldest son of Mr. Li."

"Oh, I remembered. I heard Lao Li mentioned it before. You are Li... Li Heng, right?"

As soon as Xiao Meng explained, the third master came to his senses.

Both their family and Li's family live in the front yard, and they are both teachers, so the natural relationship should be closer. In addition, Li's father is generous and doesn't like to care about it. He often invites Yan Bugui to his house for a drink or two. .

As long as the third master's temperament can take advantage of him, he is his good friend.

At the end of last year, the father and son of the Li family had an accident, and he shed a few tears. I don't know if it was because of someone else, or because he was missing someone who would take advantage of him.

"Hello, third master, I'm Li Heng, you can call me Er Heng, and you are also welcome, third mother."

"Okay, okay," the third master and his wife nodded hurriedly.

Li Heng looked at the young version of the third master and the third mother, and the dazed mood when he suddenly saw the third master just now calmed down.

It's okay to live in this yard, it can be more lively, but it's a bit early, and there probably isn't much melon to eat.

"Xiao Meng, Er Heng, go in and sit down, what are you doing standing at the door." The third master invited.

"Brother Li, let's go in."

"Go, go."

Enter the gate, bypass the screen wall, and come to the front yard.

If this courtyard with three entrances is called the prince's mansion of the previous dynasty, it is impossible. If a dignified prince lives in such a small courtyard, it is a bit too pitiful. At most, it is the residence of a dignitary.

The chaste verandahs on both sides, the vertical flower door leading to the middle courtyard, and the mottled colors all tell the world about its early glory.

Today is not a rest day. Adults and children should go to school, and those who should go to work. The third master is at home because there is no class for him this morning. In addition, if the front yard is not counted as the Li family, there are only two families living in the yard. It seemed very quiet.

As for the middle and back yards, there must be someone at home at the moment, but because they are far away, they haven't heard the movement in the front yard yet.

Xiao Meng took the key from Li Heng's hand, went straight to the west room and opened the door. Following his movement, a cloud of dust rose up in the room.

It has not been cleaned up by the residents for several months, so the thickness of the dust in the house can be imagined.

Li Heng stood at the door and looked around. There was a coal shed under the eaves, but it was empty inside.

His father and younger brother had an accident in November. It is reasonable to say that all the coal for the winter should be stored, but now it is empty, and it must have been used up by the people in this yard. As for who?hehe.

The third master standing behind might have noticed Li Heng's gaze, and he touched his nose in embarrassment.

At this moment, he hasn't practiced to the iron wall ten years later.

But Li Heng didn't care too much about it. If it's gone, it's gone. He has coal, so he can just buy it again.

He didn't go in until the dust that had been blown up in the room just now cleared away.

No wonder Director Wang said that the house is big, it is indeed big, it looks like it has [-] square meters, not to mention living in him alone, a family of three or four can live in it easily and happily.

Father Li and Xiaoyuan separated the house. Once they entered, the place was equivalent to a mixed function area of ​​living room, kitchen and dining room. The south part was separated as a bedroom, and the north part was also separated as a bedroom. Father and son One south and one north do not interfere with each other.

"Brother Li, let me clean up for you." Xiaomeng said as he picked up the basin on the washbasin shelf next to the door and prepared to go out to fetch water.

"No need, Xiaomeng, you can go and do your work. I'm fine today, so I can take my time by myself."

"It's okay, Brother Li."

"It's really unnecessary, Xiaomeng. I'm not being polite to you. I'll do it myself."

Seeing Li Heng's expression that didn't seem to be fake, Xiao Meng hesitated for a while, and then he didn't insist anymore. He is still a temporary worker in the street office and has not become a regular worker. Although the director sent him out, it is true that he will not return for a long time. great.

"Then... well, Brother Li, then you clean up slowly, I'll go back first, uh... I have to take this lock back, it's a public property, and people don't need to lock the door in yards like ours. Just close it."

It is a bit exaggerated to say that the door is not closed at night and that the road does not pick up lost things these days, but it is not bad. The vigilance of the common people is really not a casual talk.

You really don’t need to lock the door if you live in this kind of yard. If you lock your own door, just wait, it’s no wonder that the neighbors in the neighborhood don’t poke your back. Who are you guarding against?

"I know, thank you Xiaomeng, come to play at home when you are free."

"Hey, okay Brother Li, then you are busy, I will go there first."

Xiao Meng turned around and said hello to the third master and third mother who were standing in the yard, and walked out of the gate.

After he went out, the third master walked to the door of Li Heng's house, poked his head in and asked, "Er Heng, do you need help?"

"No need for the third master, I can do it myself. I just have nothing to do today."

I really want to help. If you have any questions, just do it.

"Erheng, have you been assigned work when you come back?"

"Divided." Li Heng walked to the separated area to the south to have a look. This should be the place where his father lived before his death.

"It's at the waste recycling station under our street office."

"Not bad, good unit, good unit. Well, Erheng, you clean up first, I have to go to school later, so I won't chat with you."

"Okay, third master, you are busy with your work. We will live in the same courtyard from now on, and we can chat anytime."

"Hey, yes, we will be opposite each other in the future, and there will be more time."

Seeing Yan Bugui turn and leave, Li Heng shook his head with a smile, and then looked at the vertical flower gate leading to the middle courtyard. Living in a courtyard house ten years before the story begins should be more interesting than imagined.

He didn't continue to think about it, went to the door, took a basin and went out, connected a basin of water to the sink, first sprinkled some water on the floor of the house to prevent dust from flying all over the sky, and then closed the windows of the house. Open it all up to let some air in.

Now I came to the place where my father lived before, and removed all the quilts and mattresses on the bed, took out the cotton nets inside and hung them on the clothesline in the yard, and put the removed quilt covers on the ground at the door , ready to wash later.

Then the side where the younger brother lived before continued to be demolished.
