Chapter 4 4. Home

Once out of the hospital gate, Zhixia looked at everything around her.

Huaguo in the 60s turned out to be like this.

There are not many people on the street.Walk together in twos and threes.

Eyes full of blue-gray.This is the characteristic of this era.

There are some two-story buildings not far away. The outer walls are not painted, so the eyes are directly red bricks.

Walking all the way, Zhixia was amazed.

Followed grandma's pace and walked for about an hour.Just saw the place in memory.

The narrow alley is paved with blue stone slabs, and there are some moss growing on the corners of the walls.

Seeing Xia looked at the alley, "Does Xia Xia want to eat? I'm almost home, bear with me."

Listening to grandma's words, Zhixia was a little speechless, she was just looking out of curiosity, she really didn't want to eat egg custard.

Grandma Yang quickened her pace.After a while, he took Zhixia to the door of the house.

The red brick walls are already full of potholes.It seems that the traces left by the flames of war indicate that the house is old, but the gate is quite new.

This was originally a family, but after Grandpa and the others got married, they divided it into two and opened two doors, with only a half-person-high fence separating them.

Seeing that grandma opened the door with a key, Zhixia followed her in.

Her home is assigned to the one on the left. There is a bluestone path from the gate to the front of the house. The toilet is in the corner on the left. There are many vegetables planted in the yard next to the fence. Looking at the water drops, it looks particularly watery.

Next to it is a piece of lush green vegetables that grow very well.All are dishes of the season.There was another piece of seedlings, but Zhixia couldn't recognize what it was.

Children of their age rarely go to the ground since childhood.Lin's mother also grew vegetables when she was a child, but with the development of society, after her family moved to the city, she never saw her again.So when you see it suddenly, you won't recognize it.

It is estimated that they are also some seasonal vegetables, which should be tomatoes.

Following grandma, the first thing I saw was the kitchen against the left wall. It was made of blue bricks, as if it was built later, and it didn't match the red brick house at all.

The kitchen door was locked with a big lock.

In the memory of the original owner, because the fence was very short, the children from the uncle’s house next door sneaked over, and they managed to get all the meatballs that were going to be saved for the New Year’s Eve.

I didn't have a good year because of this.The grandma said that it is better for the grandson of the Lin family to eat than the money-losing goods.Grandma was so angry that she lay in the house for a whole day without eating or drinking.Li Chunfang secretly wiped a lot of tears in private.

Since then, their kitchen has always been hung with a big lock.On weekdays, the kitchen is locked after use.

Next to the kitchen is a utility room, in which there are sundries such as briquettes, which are still locked.

Grandma Yang walked to the door of the main room, took out a bunch of keys from her pocket, and opened the door.

Looking back, Zhixia stood there looking around, walked over and took her hand, "What's the matter, I don't know our family anymore due to this illness. Come into the house quickly, and when the sun comes out, it will be a bit sunburnt. Come into the house with grandma, grandma will steam an egg custard for you right now."

Followed grandma into the house.

What catches the eye is the living room with a round table. The furnishings of the room are very simple. Apart from the table, there is an old-fashioned cabinet with two doors in the corner.

On the wall directly opposite the door hung a large portrait of a great man, dignified and solemn.

Beneath the hanging portrait was a waist-high cabinet painted orange.

It seems that it has been aged for a long time, and the paint on some places on the surface is a little peeled.

In front is a block with a cloth curtain.Put some commonly used things in it, and below are two cabinets with two doors.

There is also a tin kettle of the kind that has only been seen on TV on the cabinet.There are several enamel cups next to it.It is usually used by the family to drink water.

There is a door next to the cabinet, with a curtain hanging on the door frame, which is where her grandparents live.

Inside is a small apartment, and a small inner room of seven or eight square meters, where Zhixia lives.

The room with the door in the east is where Lin Weiguo and his wife lived.

"Xia Xia, you do it first. If you are thirsty, there is hot water in the kettle, pour it yourself. Grandma will cook custard for you, and start preparing lunch by the way."

Let Zhixia sit down by herself, and then go out to get busy.

Watching grandma go out, Zhixia looked at everything that was strange and familiar here.

This will be my home from now on, with a new family and a new environment.

I've been doing nothing at home lately.Counting the age, when the college entrance examination resumes again, I will be 20 years old.

The timing was just right.Although I graduated a long time ago in my last life, but according to my talent, I can still study by myself again.

At that time, if you still apply for the medical university in Kyoto, you will be familiar with it.If you have a clear road, you can assign jobs with a degree.

According to the memory of the previous life, before the 80s, work was assigned.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly thought of a very important thing.

That is when the red storm slowly ended in the later period, there were too many idle students stranded in the city.The state has assigned them the task of building the motherland and going to the mountains and going to the countryside.

According to one's own age, one must go at the age of sixteen.It will be around [-] or so.I still have six years.

After going to the countryside, all I have to do is physical work. It seems that I have to exercise early.

She feels that she will start running from tomorrow morning, and she must be in good health to cope with the future life in the countryside.

And these six years have to be carefully planned to make full use of the time.It can't just go on like this.

This will cause you to think too much suddenly, and your head will feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhixia put her hands on her temples and rubbed them to relieve the tense nerves.

Forget it, don't think about it for now, wait for two days to get used to it and make plans.I just came here and I don't know anything.

Although I know something about this era, it's all in the books.I haven't experienced it myself, so I can't make any decisions.

Let's figure out the situation first.

She got up and got herself a cup of hot water, put it on the table, and her grandma came over with a bowl of fragrant egg custard.

He walked to the table in two or three steps, put down the bowl in his hand, and quickly pinched his ears with his fingers.

He rubbed his fingers a few times, and looked at Zhixia lovingly. "Xia Xia, come and eat it. It's just out of the pan, but it's very tender. Come and taste it, you haven't eaten egg custard for a long time."

He beckoned Zhixia to come over and eat.

Zhixia's eyes only looked at grandma's red fingers.

Hurry over, grabbed grandma's hand, and blew softly, "Grandma, you don't need a cloth pad, look, your hands are red. It must be very hot just out of the pot."

She looked at her grandma's red fingers with distress.

 The new book is looking for a collection.Please support us a lot.
