The third aunt saw her man coming out and quickly motioned for him to look at Li Heng.
"Who does it look like?" The third uncle was a little surprised by his wife's reaction, but he still adjusted his glasses and looked over.
This look startled him: "Xiao Yuan? You're not... No, no, this comrade looks older and darker than Xiao Yuan. What's going on?"
As he spoke, he looked at his wife and then at Xiao Meng.
"Third uncle, this is Li Yuan's eldest brother, Teacher Li's eldest son."
"Oh, I remembered it. I heard Lao Li mention it before. You are Li... Li Heng, right?"
As soon as Xiao Meng explained, the third uncle reacted.
Their family and the Li family both live in the front yard, and both are teachers, so they naturally have a close relationship. In addition, Li's father is a generous man and doesn't like to care about things. He often invites Yan Bugui to his house for a drink when nothing happens.
.
As long as the third uncle's temper allows him to take advantage of him, he will be his good friend.
At the end of last year, something happened to the Li family and his son. He even shed a few tears. He didn't know whether he was crying for someone else or because he didn't have someone to take advantage of.
"Hello, third uncle, I am Li Heng. You can call me Erheng, or you can call me third aunt."
"Okay, okay," the third uncle and his wife nodded hurriedly.
Li Heng looked at the younger version of the third uncle and the third aunt, and his dazed mood when he suddenly saw the third uncle calmed down.
It's okay to live in this courtyard, it can be more lively, but it's a bit early now, so there probably won't be much to eat.
"Xiao Meng, Er Heng, come in and sit down. Why are you standing at the door?" the third uncle invited.
"Brother Li, let's go in."
"Let's go"
Walk into the gate, walk around the screen wall, and arrive at the front yard.
It is impossible to say that this courtyard with three entrances is the prince's palace of the previous dynasty. It would be too pitiful for a dignified prince to live in such a large courtyard. At most, it is the residence of a dignitary.
The hand-painted corridors on both sides, the hanging flower door leading to the central courtyard, and the mottled colors all tell the world about its early glory.
Today is not a day off. Adults and children should go to school, and those who should go to work should go to work. The third uncle is at home because there is no class for him this morning. In addition, if the front yard is not counted as the Li family, there are only two houses in the yard.
It seemed very quiet.
As for the middle courtyard and the backyard, there must be someone at home at the moment, but because they are far away, they haven't heard anything in the front yard yet.
Xiao Meng asked for the key from Li Heng's hand, walked straight to the west room and opened the door. As he moved, a burst of dust rose up in the room.
It has not been cleaned for several months, so you can imagine how thick the dust is in the house.
Li Heng stood at the door and looked around. There was a coal shed built under the eaves, but unfortunately it was empty.
It was November when his father and brother had an accident. Logically, all the coal for the winter should have been stored, but now it is empty. It must have been used by people in this yard. As for who? Haha.
The third uncle standing behind may have also noticed Li Heng's gaze. He touched his nose in embarrassment.
He has not yet reached the level of strength that he will have ten years from now.
However, Li Heng didn't pay too much attention to it. If it was gone, it would be gone. He had a coal book and could just buy it again.
After the dust that had just been kicked up in the room cleared, he walked in.
No wonder Director Wang said the house was big, and it was indeed quite big. It looked like it was thirty square meters, and it was easy and enjoyable for a family of three or four to live there, let alone just him.
Father Li and Xiaoyuan also separated the house. The place they entered was equivalent to a mixed-functional area with a living room, a kitchen and a dining room. The south part was divided into a bedroom, and the north part was also divided into a bedroom. The father and son
One south and one north do not interfere with each other.
"Brother Li, let me clean up for you." Xiao Meng said, picking up the basin on the washbasin shelf next to the door and preparing to go out to fetch water.
"No, Xiao Meng, you can go and do your work. I have nothing to do today, so I can just take my time by myself."
"It's okay, Brother Li."
"No need, Xiao Meng. I won't be polite to you. I can just do it myself."
Seeing Li Heng's expression that didn't seem to be hypocritical, Xiao Meng hesitated for a moment and didn't insist anymore. He was still a temporary worker at the subdistrict office and had not been made a regular employee. Although the director sent him out, he would not go back for a long time.
Very good.
"Then... well, Brother Li, you can take your time to clean up. I'm going back first. Uh... I have to take this lock back. It's a public property. We generally don't need to lock the door in a yard like ours when people go out.
Just close it."
These days, it is a bit exaggerated to say that people do not close their doors at night and do not pick up lost items on the road, but it is not bad at all. The vigilance of the people is really not something that is said casually.
There is really no need to lock the door when living in a yard like this. If any of you lock your own door, just wait, it will be weird if the neighbors don’t stab you in the back. Who are you guarding against?
"I know. Thank you, Xiao Meng, for coming to play at home when you have time."
"Hey, okay Brother Li, you're busy, I'll go over first."
Xiao Meng turned around and said hello to the three uncles and three aunts standing in the yard, and then walked out of the door.
After he went out, the third uncle walked to the door of Li Heng's house, poked his head in and asked, "Er Heng, do you need help?"
"No need, Mr. Third, I can do it myself. I just have nothing to do today."
I really want to help but if I have any questions, I can just do it.
"Er Heng, have you assigned work now that you're back?"
"It's divided." Li Heng walked to the separated area in the south and took a look. This should be the place where his father lived during his lifetime.
"It's at the waste recycling station under our street office."
"Not bad, a good company. Well, Erheng, please clean up first. I have to go to school later, so I won't talk to you anymore."
"Okay, third uncle, you are busy with your work. We will live in the same courtyard from now on. We can chat at any time."
"Hey, yes, from now on we will be opposite each other, so we will have plenty of time."
Seeing Yan Bugui turn around and leave, Li Heng smiled and shook his head, and then looked at the hanging flower door leading to the central courtyard. Living in the courtyard ten years before the beginning of the story should be more interesting than imagined.
He didn't continue to think about it. He walked to the door, picked up a basin and walked out. He put a basin of water on the sink, first sprinkled some water on the floor in the house to prevent dust from flying all over the sky, and then opened the windows in the house.
Open them all to let in some air.
Only then did I come to the place where my father lived before. I took off all the quilts and mattresses on the bed, took out the cotton mesh cover inside and hung it on the clothes drying rope in the yard. I put the removed quilt cover on the ground at the door.
, prepare to wash it for a while.
Then the area where my brother lived before continued to be demolished.
