On Liulichang Street, in front of the newly purchased small courtyard, Liu Qingshan opened the door and said happily: "This is our other home in the future!"

"oh!"

The fourth and fifth brother cheered and rushed in first.

Liu Jinfeng and Liu Yinfeng also hurriedly stepped in, Gao Wenxue followed closely with Xiaohuo in his arms, and his heart suddenly felt much more at ease.

That’s right, no matter where you are, as long as you have a small nest of your own, you will feel extremely at ease.

"Wow, there are so many houses!" The little old lady rushed around and shouted.

"There are also small yards and fruit trees."

Shanxing was obviously very excited and satisfied, of course, it would be even better if there was an apricot tree.

Of course, Liu Qingshan understood her thoughts best, so he touched the little guy's watermelon head: "Wait until the spring next year, we will plant another apricot tree."

"Well, I planted it with the fourth child. We are experts in tree planting."

The smile on Shan Xing's face was so bright.

Liu Jinfeng and Liu Yinfeng began to clean the room and yard and clean the kitchen.

Liu Qingshan went out with the old master uncle and purchased some daily necessities: mainly pots, pans, and so on.

As for the table, chairs and benches, the original owner was left behind, and Liu Qingshan just changed a few new kang mats and prepared several new sets of bedding.

After working hard for a little while, the courtyard finally came to a new look.

More importantly, they finally became popular. Even the fourth and fifth brothers took the two little kids in the alley that were on summer vacation home for a walk.

It is said that this is their new friend. As a child, you don’t need to introduce you or I don’t need to introduce me. You will be able to play together soon.

In the evening, Liu Jinfeng and his sister arranged two tables of dishes, and Lao Huer came forward to invite a table for the neighbors around him, including the second uncle who helped contact the house.

Everyone held the wine cup and talked about it, which was considered to be a recognition of the newly moved neighbor.

When he left, Liu Qingshan gave some dried wild vegetables and black fungus.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If you are in the east and west, you can take care of each other better.

Especially those old men and ladies, who are idle all day long and wander around, and if they have big or small things, they can discover the situation first.

Waiting until the evening, lying on the warm-burning kang, Liu Qingshan felt particularly at ease:

I never thought that another shack could be built in the capital so soon, and in winter, I would ask my grandparents and mother to live here.

This place is much warmer than that in Northeast China!

...

In front of a crowded and dilapidated slum in Nancheng, Gao Wenxue took a deep breath: This is the home he has lived in for eighteen years!

Scenes of past events, like movies, flashed rapidly in his mind frame by frame.

Crickets were caught in the gaps in the blue bricks at the corner of the wall; cicadas were stuck on the big locust tree at the entrance of the alley, and there was the threshold. Sitting on it with my friends and reading a villain's book...

Before he knew it, his eyes were already blurred.

Seeing Gao Wenxue being slightly trampled, Liu Qingshan gently patted his shoulder from behind and whispered: "Brother-in-law, you have already started a family and started a business now."

Gao Wenxue was stunned and then understood what Liu Qingshan meant.

Now, he returned here, with his loving wives, his wives in his arms, and their little babies.

After years of hardships, he never forgot his original intention and finally became a well-known writer.

Thinking of this, he blinked hard and smiled: Yes, I can straighten my back and walk into this home.

"You are... you are the second child of the Gao family?"

An old lady who came back from buying groceries looked at Gao Wenxue for a long time and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, Aunt Wu, it's me."

Gao Wenxue greeted excitedly.

"Okay, okay, go to the hospital quickly. When you come back, your parents will definitely be very happy."

Aunt Wu smiled on her face, but looking at the crowd behind Gao Wenxue, including men and women, two little girls of seven or eight years old, and even one in her arms, she was secretly shocked: Why are you escaping from the famine?

Look at the clothes and dressing of these people, they don’t look like each other. Forget it, don’t worry about other people’s business, just ask behind the scenes.

Now the Gao family is going to be lively. The third brother is planning to get married and has no place to live. The second brother is back with his family...

After entering the slum, Gao Wenxue was an old resident here, so he lived in a main house on the north side.

However, there were three main rooms, two of them lived in the east, and they moved to the east to connect more than a small room, which seemed to be a kitchen.

At the door, an old man in his sixties was cleaning up something with his shirtlessness. When Gao Wenxue saw it, he stopped and trembled and called out, "Dad!"

The hammer in the old man's hand fell to the ground with a clang, almost hitting his feet.

"Old...shuang!"

The old man turned his head and saw Gao Wenxue, his lips trembled with excitement.

Gao Wenxue hurriedly stepped forward to support the other party: "Dad, it's me!"

He looked at his father: I haven't seen him for so many years, I'm old, my hair is almost all white, and my back is bent. These years are really ruthless.

He finally couldn't help it and tears flowed down his face.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."

Gao Shusen's eyes were also red, looking at his son: Yes, he has become much stronger, he has grown up, he has grown up completely.

"Dad, this is your daughter-in-law and your little grandson!"

Gao Wenxue excitedly pulled Liu Jinfeng over and reported the good news to his father.

Liu Jinfeng also called out "Dad" openly. Xiaohuo could not speak, with big black eyes staring at the shirtless old man opposite.

"Okay, okay."

Gao Shusen nodded vigorously, and from his son's letter, he already knew about marrying and having children, so he was of course extremely relieved.

Of course, I also felt deeply guilty: I felt that I owe too much to this second son.

But there is no way, there are three sons and two girls in the family.

When I went to the countryside, the eldest brother was at the right time. The third brother was not old enough, so my family could only call the second brother. I have to endure a lot of hardships over the years.

When the eldest brother got married and moved out, the third brother grew up again, he retired early and asked the third brother to take over his work and work as a worker in the factory.

After counting, this second child suffered the most and couldn't even go and see her when she got married.

Gao Wenxue hugged Xiaohuo from his wife's arms and handed it to his father. Old man Gao hugged his grandson and immediately smiled: Everyone is a girl, and the Gao family finally has a back.

Xiaohuo was a little convinced, and he was babbling in his mouth, with his arms wide open, obviously he still wanted his mother to hug him.

Liu Jinfeng smiled and poked his little forehead: "Call grandpa to kiss you."

Gao Shusen couldn't help but feel comforted: This is my grandson!

So he shouted into the room: "Old woman, the second brother is back!"

"What are you shouting, come back when you come back."

An old lady walked out of the room with an apron tied around her waist and a tiger's face.

Liu Qingshan looked at it and felt that he was not the kind-hearted type, and he seemed a little clever.

"mom."

Gao Wenxue shouted weakly. He was a little afraid of this high-pitched mother since he was a child.

And he could also feel that his mother didn't like him, a somewhat dull son, and she prefers the eldest and third brothers.

Grandma Gao glared at her son: "You know you're back, you've forgotten this family long ago. Hua Ximao has a long tail, and she's married and forgot her mother!"

The little old lady who followed behind was a little puzzled: Hey, why did this old lady recite nursery rhymes?

Gao Wenxue's face suddenly turned red, and he wanted to defend something, but he had no idea. Then he felt that Liu Jinfeng gently patted his arm, and a warm feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

"Mom, I, Wenxue, and your grandson Xiaohuo, are back to see you."

Liu Jinfeng said with a smile, her tone was intimate but not flattering.

In the village, she naturally won’t be timid after seeing all kinds of mother-in-laws.

Aunt Gao followed her to look at the daughter-in-law and was a little puzzled: Didn’t she say she was from a rural area? Look at her dress and appearance, she didn’t look like her?

Look at the watch on the wrist and the ones hanging under the neck, which look like jade?

I understand, the second-aged man probably found a rich wife!

The tall lady immediately squeezed out a smile on her face: "Okay, okay, it's rare that you have this filial piety. Come into the house quickly. These are all from your parents' family, right?"

Gao Wenxue introduced his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, which made Gao Lao's wife feel unhappy again:

This rural person just has no vision. He is far away and has a family, and he has food and accommodation. Why don’t he think about it for his family?

Nowadays, what people in the city fear most is that most of their relatives come to the countryside at home, most of them eat and take food, which can make people feel annoyed.
