Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 6 Tidy up
As long as it takes, the middle-aged man is very punctual. When he went in, he had an empty satchel, and when he came out again, it was rattling.

"Thank you, Old Zheng."

"Okay, let's go, I have to go over and throw two packs of cigarettes for our leader."

"I'll bring you a few more bags next time."

"That's a good relationship." Lao Zheng grinned as soon as he heard it, and he was not polite at all.

"Success, next time you come here, you must bring more, I'm leaving."

This man is also straightforward, he is a bicycle repairer, and he has cooperated with Lao Zheng for two years. He has saved a lot of money by buying some old parts, and it is nothing to give two extra packs of cigarettes.

After he left, Lao Zheng locked the door and walked slowly towards the station master's office.

He can't really treat it as if he didn't see it when he gave him face. He has to think about what he should give, otherwise he will be too ignorant and live like a dog at his age.

In the office, Li Heng leaned on the quilt on the bed and flipped through the newspaper.

It's boring at night these days, there are no entertainment activities, and when there is only one person, I can only read books and flip through newspapers to pass the time.

Otherwise, why do you think that there are so many children in every household, and it is not idle.

"dong dong dong"

"Erheng, are you asleep?"

"No, come in, the door is unlocked." Hearing Lao Zheng's voice, Li Heng stood up and sat up.

Four 10 minutes, okay.

Although I don't know how long it was before, but at least today is still sensible.

Pushing open the door, Lao Zheng walked in slowly.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask if you still play chess?" While talking, he seemingly accidentally put his hand on the desk, and two packs of cigarettes appeared there.

"No more, it's already nine o'clock, wash up and go to bed, I've worked all day today, and I'm a little tired."

"Alright then, I'll go over and clean up the chessboard, let's continue tomorrow night."

"no problem."

Seeing Lao Zheng walk out of the office and close the door behind him, Li Heng glanced at the two packs of cigarettes on the desk and smiled silently.

Does he rarely smoke?
Not at all, not to mention the half-haired cigarettes, even Hanako with filters.

He didn't smoke much in this life, and the cigarette he smoked just now while playing chess was the first one today.

How should I say this thing, I don't want it, but you can't not give it.

After washing up at the sink outside and sitting back on the bed again, Li Heng took out the envelope containing the compensation that he had received from the office today from his personal storage.

There weren't many things in the warehouse, and he didn't get any good things in the army these years, but he found a lot of treasures when he cleaned up the house during the day.

One is the watch on his hand, which he got from the Jiang side in [-].

It's an IWC watch, it seems to be a pilot's model, the watch is not bad, at least it's accurate.

In addition, there are two guns, M1911A1, and a bunch of bullets. At that time, he thought this gun was very easy to use and had a strong stopping ability.

Then there is a black triangular army thorn and a dagger.

Then there is the stipend given to the army, and there is no place to spend it, all saved up, plus the retirement fee, the total is more than 2000 yuan, including the 3000 compensation he received today, he now has a total of 4000 yuan Nearly [-] yuan is considered a small rich man.

There are also a few tickets specially given by the leader when he left the army, a cotton coat ticket, this is a treasure, even though he has been in the army, he knows that this kind of ticket is rare in the local area.

There are also ten pieces of meat tickets for one catty, and when the leader gave them to him, he gritted his teeth.

The last thing is five catties of cotton tickets, it's over, that's all his belongings.

Oh, and a futon.

But when he cleaned up the house today, he found a lot of good things, all of which were left by his father.

His father probably didn't expect that the things he had worked so hard to save were almost cheaper than others. Fortunately, Director Wang in the office is a kind person.

Li Heng took out all the things in the warehouse, put away the gun and bullets again, looked down at the things dug out from home today, and was a little dazed.

Especially the yellowed black and white photo, this photo is also the only group photo of their family of four, and it is also the only photo left by his mother.

"Sigh..." He sighed, stuffed the photo into the envelope that contained the money just now, and took it back to the warehouse.

He reached out to open a small wooden box, which contained a passbook, some tickets, some gold jewelry and two large yellow croakers.

He knew these jewelry, some of them were said to have been bought by his father when he married his mother, and some were his mother's dowry. Unfortunately, things have changed now.

The two large yellow croakers were brought from home when they went to Sijiu City. They brought a total of three and used up one.

There were only three tickets, and they were three-jin meat tickets, probably because his father wanted to save the meat for Chinese New Year to make dumplings.

There is a lot of money in the passbook. Maybe after the younger brother works, he will also hand over the wages he earns to his father for safekeeping. There are more than 900 yuan in total.

It must have been saved for a long time, right?Li Heng looked at the amount of money on the passbook and smiled slightly, tears blurred his eyes as he smiled.

This was the first time he shed tears after he learned that his father and younger brother had an accident.

He knew that back then he wanted to be a soldier and broke the old man's heart, but he was still silently saving money for his wife, and he was trying to fulfill his promise to his wife before she died.

Li Heng raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, put the passbook back into the wooden box, and put it in the warehouse.

He just sat on the bed in a daze for a while, and then poured out all the tickets contained in the last envelope.

Hey, there are quite a lot of votes given.

Meat tickets, sugar tickets, bicycle tickets, and radio tickets, huh?Why two bicycle tickets?

Oh, yes, it should be one of the compensations given by the government, and another one from the school.

That's it, the bike is in hand!

There are cloth tickets, watch tickets, and even a floor fan ticket.

It was all things that were in short supply, and now there was absolutely nothing missing.

But when he thought that these things were bought by his father and younger brother with their lives, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ah~" In the sum of two lifetimes, I don't sigh as much as today.

After putting everything into the warehouse, he fell on his back on the bed, not thinking about anything, just lying there with his mind empty.
