Chapter 367: through the back door

  Chapter 367 Going through the back door

  The family entered the gate, all looking around in surprise.

   After walking a few steps, grandma stretched out her hand and pointed to the front: "There used to be a big screen wall here, I remember, and there were four words Jishan Renjia written on it."

  Grandma Qiu Ju next to her also nodded her head straight: "It's a pity that it was demolished when the four old buildings were broken down in those years."

  Ordinary courtyard houses have screen walls after entering the gate, which can play a role of shelter.

  Seeing grandma feeling sad, Liu Qingshan comforted softly: "Grandma, this yard will definitely be rebuilt. When the time comes, you can draw the picture and we will build a new screen wall."

  With such a nice yard, Liu Qingshan also decided to tidy it up and keep it as original as possible.

   "Well, thanks to my good grandson."

  Grandma patted Liu Qingshan's arm, looking happy again.

  The fourth and fifth children didn't know which small yard they went along the corridor for a long time, so they simply ignored the two of them, and the rest of them surrounded grandma and walked slowly.

  The yard was fairly tidy, obviously after the office was evacuated, they cleaned it up again.

   Even so, due to the age and neglect of repairs, many places still appear dilapidated.

  The patterns of the carved windows are already broken;

  Passing through the vertical flower gate is the second entrance yard.

  Grandma pointed to the beautiful hanging flower door and said: "This is the second door that is often said. In the past, the lady of a rich family asked that the door should not be outside the second door. This is it."

  Liu Qingshan nodded immediately, then smiled at Liu Yinfeng: "Second sister, do you hear that, you are not allowed to go out of this door in the future."

   "Sanfeng, your ears are itchy, right?"

  Liu Yinfeng stared at her beautiful Danfeng eyes, Liu Qingshan hurriedly supported grandma's arm: "Grandma, you continue to talk."

  Watching the younger generation slapstick, the smile on grandma's face became wider: "When I was young, I was only as old as the fourth and fifth children, and I often sneaked out with Qiu Ju to sell sugar figurines, haha."

  Grandma Qiu Ju also nodded with a smile on the sidelines, as if going back to decades ago.

  Cackling laughter came, it was the fourth and fifth children, who came out from a round moon door: "Brother, there is a small garden over there!"

  So everyone turned around and took a look. This should be the legendary "back garden", but it hasn't been taken care of very much, and weeds are overgrown.

   There are a few old trees, all of which are quite old.

  In front of a jujube tree, grandma gently stroked the trunk with her hands, as if she was lost in memories again.

  Maybe, when she was as old as the fourth child, she also climbed over this jujube tree?

  In addition to jujube and pomegranate trees, there are also several crabapple trees, which must be beautiful when they bloom in spring.

  Of course, it will be more beautiful when it bears fruit in autumn.

  Spring blossoms and autumn fruits, the cycle of time and cycle.

   Like this ancient courtyard house, mulberry trees and pagoda trees are generally not planted in the yard, because mulberry and "mourning" are homophonic, and pagoda trees are needless to say.

   "Turn up this garden well in the future, grandma, do you want to leave some land for you to grow some vegetables?" Liu Qingshan made grandma happy next to her.

  The old lady was really amused: "It's not bad, isn't there a Daoxiang Village in the Grand View Garden that grows rice and raises geese?"

  It was the mother Lin Zhi, whose eyes lit up when she heard this, she would not be used to it if she was asked to enter the mansion.

  Out of the garden, continue to the third courtyard. In front of the tall main house, grandma bowed a few times and stood there staring quietly for a long time.

   Everyone knows that she is remembering her ancestors and elders, so no one bothers her.

  Generally speaking, in a four-entry courtyard like this, the elders live in the main room, and the ancestral tablet is also in the middle of the main room. Then the old man and old lady live in the family on the east side, and the parents and elders live in the west side.

   Then the eldest son lives in the east wing, and the grandchildren live in the side room.

  Finally, it was Liu Shikui who held his wife's hand: "Go, go to the place where you lived, haha, I haven't entered your boudoir yet."

   "You old rascal."

  Grandma patted Grandpa on the back lightly, then took Liu Shikui's hand, and walked back together. The last one entered was the Houqin room, where the female family members lived.

  In front of a dilapidated small house, grandma stopped and looked at it quietly. From the bricks and tiles above to the carved window lattices, she seemed to not want to let go of anything.

   With a creak, the fourth child pushed open the door, and immediately a musty smell emanated from the room, causing the fourth child to cover his mouth and cough.

   This room should have been empty all the time, but the inside was cleaned very cleanly, but it lacked popularity, so it seemed lifeless.

   "I clean it every month, but unfortunately, this house is still declining day by day." Grandma Qiu Ju also said helplessly.

   "We are all old, and so is the house." Grandma also sighed.

  Liu Qingshan quickly took over the conversation: "Repair, it must be repaired. After the repair is completed, you, the fourth and fifth, will live here!"

ah? The fourth and fifth were all stunned.

  Looking at their appearance, grandma finally smiled again: Although she is old, but the younger generations are young, this family will have vigor and vitality.

  Finally finished looking at the house, discussed it for a while, and finally Liu Qingshan made up his mind: wait for the house to be completely repaired before moving in.

   And this kind of big house can't be finished without one or two years of work.

  As for Grandma Qiu Ju, of course she was reluctant to leave again, and when she returned to Jiapigou, she would go back together.

   Ask Gao Feng to drive a few old people back, and the rest have to squeeze the bus.

   It is estimated that due to the approach of the Spring Festival, there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, and there are queues at the entrance of many shops.

  As for the bus, let alone, it was packed like a bean bag.

   "It's the Chinese New Year, we need to prepare some new year's goods." Liu Qingshan brought limited things, and most of them were given away. With so many people, they really need a lot of things to eat and drink during the New Year.

  Tell this matter to Old Maoer's uncle, and the uncle also spread his hands: "Those who need tickets, it seems that they can't buy them."

   Now some tickets have been cancelled, but there are still some tickets that are still needed. Liu Qingshan only found out after asking, that food and drinks such as chicken, duck, fish, vegetables and fruits still need tickets.

   And during the Chinese New Year, don’t you need these foods and drinks?

  None of them have registered permanent residence in the capital, and even the pitiful meat and non-staple food tickets of the old Maoer master, these people can't get enough between their teeth.

   "Uncle, is there any other way, such as the black market?"

  Liu Qingshan didn't give up, and asked Old Maoer's uncle again.

   "There is this one, but the price is a bit expensive!"

  Old Maoer scratched the back of his head, and then remembered that this nephew seems to be not short of money, so what's the point, let's walk.

  Before going out, the loud voice of the aunt at the entrance of the alley rang out:

   "Old hat, call, from Bishui County, looking for Liu Qingshan!"

  Liu Qingshan also wondered: Who is this, the phone calls are coming to the capital?

  Running to the public phone, after connecting, Zheng Hongqi's voice came from the phone: "Qingshan, are you in the capital?"

   "Brother Zheng, what's the matter?"

   "The Spring Festival is approaching, and a large number of vegetables in our county are on the market, and now there has been a large backlog. Can you help me contact the market?"

   "I'll go to the vegetable market and ask, the vegetables, meat and poultry here are very tight, maybe it will work!"

  Liu Qingshan didn't dare to be negligent. The growers are holding back to sell vegetables before the Spring Festival, and the price can be higher than usual.

  The result of this unplanned result is a backlog of vegetables. If you don’t pick them, the vegetables will be old, and if you pick them off, you won’t be able to sell them, and the vegetables will rot.

  This year is the first year of large-scale planting of greenhouses in Bishui County. If it suffers a blow, it will be extremely detrimental to the future development of this industry.

  Putting down the phone, Liu Qingshan explained the situation to Mr. Mao'er: "It's all right now, don't worry about the vegetables for the Chinese New Year. There are already carts and carts in my hometown, and they are going to be sent to us."

  The old hat is also a layman in this area, think about it:

   "The nearest to us is the Xidan Vegetable Market, why don't you go there and ask?"

   Soon, the father and father went back to ride three rounds, and Liu Yinfeng insisted on going together after hearing the news.

   After all, she has a student ID card, and at critical moments, she is more convincing than Liu Qingshan and Lao Maoer.

  Here in the capital, there are four major vegetable markets, namely Xidan, Dongdan, Chaoyang, and Chongwenmen. Among them, the Xidan vegetable market is also the largest because of the Xidan commercial street.

   Waiting for Lao Maoer to ride a tricycle and carry the two sisters to the Xidan Vegetable Market. Good guy, the door is full of bicycles, and there is no place for the tricycle to park.

   Not only that, there was a long queue outside the vegetable market.

   There are only a few people coming out, and only a few people are put in. It is estimated that the inside will be more crowded.

  The old hat was big and round, leading the sisters to push forward, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the crowd:

   "Don't rush, line up!"

   "Exactly, what quality?"

   As the Chinese New Year is approaching, every household is rushing to buy supplies for the Chinese New Year, and the rush is so intense that if it weren't for the fact that Lao Mao is strong and strong, they might have done it.

  Liu Qingshan quickly explained: "We are not buying vegetables, we are here to contact the sellers!"

   Someone among the crowd immediately shouted: "Just now there was a kid who sneaked in like this and came out with a big basket. Your trick is not working now!"

  Liu Qingshan also blinked his eyes: In order to buy a la carte, it was really hard work.

   At this time, Liu Yinfeng took out her student ID card and held it in her hand: "We are really here to contact and sell vegetables. I am a student of Peking University, please believe me!"

   There are people around to look at the student ID card, and it is indeed true. These days, the name of a college student is still very useful.

Liu Qingshan hurriedly took advantage of the situation and shouted: "In our hometown, we planted a lot of vegetable greenhouses, which were put on the market in a centralized way a year ago, resulting in a backlog. We will come here to contact you. If it can be done, you don't have to worry about the vegetables for the New Year. !"

   Hearing what he said, someone actually took the lead in applauding, and then the crowd made way for a narrow passage.

   "Thank you everyone!" Liu Qingshan felt that people in this era are quite cute.

  A staff member responsible for maintaining order at the door also took the initiative to lead the way: "Just follow me through the back door. The director is not at home today, but Deputy Director Liu is here."

  Liu Qingshan also smiled: Today, I can finally go through the back door once.

  Following the staff member, he made a big detour, and finally came to the back door, and then Liu Qingshan found that there were dozens of people gathered here, all carrying vegetable baskets and various household items.

   It turns out that there are really people who go through the back door.
