Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 72 Two Keys
Looking at the tearful Le Wa'er, Xie Xiaolin warned: "Don't lick it anymore, I don't care if my tongue freezes off next time, and you, have you seen the consequences of licking the iron door? I did it." As he spoke, he glanced at the children next to him.

When he glanced over, those children quickly made a promise: "We know, Uncle Xiaolin, we don't dare to lick the iron gate."

"Yeah, I'm not stupid, what are you doing licking the iron gate in winter?"

"I still can't remember you if you don't speak. Is it because you are trying to make people lick the iron door again?" Seeing an older child next to him, Xie Xiaolin probably knew what was going on.

"No, no, I just said that the iron gate is sweet, and I didn't say anything else." The child shook his head quickly, but the guilty look on his face had already betrayed him.

"Let's go, let's not do this in the future." Knowing that arguing with them would lead to no results, and that they were the most mesmerizing at this age, Xie Xiaolin waved them away.

On the way home, Zhang Yu asked curiously: "Brother Xiaolin, what's the matter with that iron gate? And that house, is the school on your side so well built?" It is unlikely that a rural school will install a pair of iron gates.

"What are you talking about, Tiemen, I know, I know." Xie Xiaoyan who was on the side rushed to talk.

"This house was built by a former landlord. Before liberation, there were quite a few bandits on our side. For safety reasons, his house was built very high, and a thick iron gate was built. But later Being targeted by the bandits, they ransacked their house at night, from top to bottom, including the servants in the house, and they didn't let anyone go.

In the end, there was only one baby left in the family who was put in a bucket by his family and then lowered the bucket into the well. He escaped, and was later adopted by a relative of his who had no children in other places. "

Xie Xiaolin followed her words and added: "As for this house, his relative didn't want it because he thought it was inauspicious. The villagers wanted it but didn't dare to live in it, because the first one or two people who dared to live in it also came one after another. The land was robbed, after all, the house was an obvious target for snatching in those days.

Later, because no one lived in it for a long time, it became a lot dilapidated. When our village established a brigade, it was used as a warehouse.

Later, after our side was approved to run a school, several rooms were vacated for classrooms. "

They walked all the way and said that they arrived at home soon. At this time, Zhou Huizhen had already prepared the meal. When she saw them coming in, she asked, "What are you doing?"

"Uncle, we went to the school. Le Wazi was fooled by the older children to lick the big iron gate. His tongue got stuck. My brother went to get it off for him." Xie Xiaoyan said beside him.

"Another child is licking the big iron gate." Zhou Huizhen's words were full of surprise, but she was not surprised, just like what Xie Xiaohui said earlier, every year there are several children who are either curious by themselves or Being encouraged to lick the big iron gate will never stop every year.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and face. I've warmed up the hot water and prepared the meals. I'm ready to eat after washing my hands."

During these days in the Northeast, Zhang Yu completely released the youthful nature buried in his heart, and followed Xie Xiaoyan and the others to smoke ice monkeys, hold ice sledges, skate, and play with ice carts...

I played the children's entertainment programs in winter in Northeast China inside and out. After the first month, I will prepare for the return trip on February 2th.

Zhou Suqin was very reluctant for him to go back, and didn't know if he could meet again when he went back this time, but she just held his hand and asked, "Can't we stay for two more days?"

"Grandma, I'll come back during the holiday, I should go back to school." Zhang Yu comforted softly, and promised to come back during the holiday.

At this time, I have already missed the reunification of the school year, and the school has already started to rush, so I can't delay it any longer.

"Then it's a deal. You must come during the holidays this year. Grandma has left something delicious for you." Zhou Suqin patted Zhang Yu's head again as she spoke, telling her worriedly.

"Well, I'll definitely come." Grandma, grandpa is getting old too, and his mother passed away, so he must do his filial piety for the elders.

Now that he has taken over the original owner's body, he should live on his behalf and honor his relatives instead. Besides, he can't tell whether he is the Zhang Yu of the later generations or the Zhang Yu of the present, but that doesn't matter. Is it all him!

Hearing his affirmative answer and promising to come back this year, Xie Hongguang, who was sitting beside him without saying a word, finally relaxed a lot. Although he didn't talk much, but for the only blood left by his daughter, Also very loving.

"Wait here for a moment, we have something to tell you, you have to remember, don't let others know." Xie Hongguang looked serious, turned his head and closed the door, the next thing to say is not suitable for everyone to know.

The son and daughter-in-law are old enough to know that it’s okay, but the children below are still young, and after worrying about letting them know, they speak out.

Seeing that the door was closed, Zhou Suqin took out two keys from her pocket, handed them to Zhang Yu, and told him to keep the keys.

"Grandma, what is this?" Zhang Yu was a little confused, what needs to be so serious?And what do you give him the key for?
"Although the Xie family's family fortune has fallen, they still have some family assets. This key can open the door of the house at No. 36, a certain alley on a certain road in the south of Beijing. It is the last house in that alley. You can keep it. .”

"Grandma, I have a house in Beijing. You should give this house to the uncle and the second uncle. You will always go back." Zhang Yu quickly refused.

"I told you to keep it, so you keep it. This is your mother's share, and your two uncles have their own share. Take it." Xie Hongguang said seriously.

"Then I, then I..." Zhang Yu held the key and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Accept it. This is your mother's share. It was supposed to be her dowry, but at that time our Xie family was on the cusp of the storm, so we didn't dare to let these things out. Your mother could only take such things with her in the end." Something worthless, got married hastily, and even kept the betrothal gift from your father at home to deceive people." Speaking of this, Zhou Suqin still felt a little uncomfortable. People envy.
