1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

When the second aunt saw this, she quickly covered her mouth and laughed.

"This stupid pillar..."

At this time, Sha Zhu was helping an old lady mop the floor.

Since the ground is paved with red bricks and is not leveled, it is particularly difficult to mop.

Yi Zhonghai threw a泔水袋 to Sha Zhu.

"Stop mopping. You won't be able to clean it even tomorrow. Go get a bucket of water and splash it twice."

"I understand, uncle. Don't worry, I will definitely clean it for you."

After saying that, Sha Zhu came out with the泔水袋.

Yi Zhonghai shouted at him from behind.

"Close the door! Do you want the whole compound to know that you vomited all over my house?"

Shazhu scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Sorry, uncle. I was in a hurry to go out and forgot."

"Close the door quickly." Yi Zhonghai said impatiently.

Yi Zhonghai did not walk out of the room. He did not know that there were many people surrounding Chen Xiao's house.

After hearing what Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai said, they all came to Yi Zhonghai's door.

When they saw the tragic situation in Yi Zhonghai's home, they all covered their mouths and noses.

There were even some children who couldn't resist the taste and started to grumble.

"Dad, what is this thing in the uncle's house? Why does it stink so much? It's almost suffocating me." Xu Damao covered his nose with a look of disgust.

Xu Damao's father hit him on the head.

"How can this child speak? If he can't speak, then don't speak."

Xu Damao covered his head with his hands, his face full of grievance.

"You're not allowed to say the house stinks."

Xu Damao's father quickly pulled Xu Damao behind him.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai, he smiled.

"Uncle, please don't be so polite to the child who can't speak."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai's entire old face turned red and blue.

He could never have imagined that so many people would suddenly appear at the door.

Looking at the people outside pointing and talking, Yi Zhonghai felt ashamed again.

He went up to the room and slammed the door shut.

This time his old face was completely gone.

......

As the sun sets, the courtyard welcomes evening.

After a busy whole day, Chen Xiao finally got everything ready.

Now all I have to do is wait until tomorrow morning for Matchmaker Wang to take me to Qinjia Village.

Originally, Chen Xiao wanted to go alone, but he couldn't resist Wang the matchmaker's constant persuasion.

She said how good she was with the original owner's mother, and then added that it was a bit inappropriate for him to be the only one at home.

Finally, unable to bear Wang the matchmaker's constant nagging, Chen Xiao had no choice but to agree.

After seeing off the residents of the compound, Chen Xiao stayed at home alone, eating mutton soup he bought from the Old Drum Tower Street.

Although there are plenty of ingredients at home, Chen Xiao doesn't know how to cook.

Anyway, he still has some money in his hands, plus a monthly salary of 27.5 yuan, which is more than enough for him to live a luxurious life.

Shazhu from next door dragged his tired body back home.

He was busy at the old man's house all day today.

Yu Shui did not come back with him, but stayed at Yi Zhonghai's house temporarily today.

I don’t know what the old lady said to Yu Shui today, but it made Sha Zhu feel that Yu Shui was not as good as before, and seemed to even hate him a little.

Yi Zhonghai's home.

An old lady was helping Yu Shui make the bed with a smile on her face.

There were only her and Yi Zhonghai in her house, so there was a spare room.

"Yushui, do you want Auntie to sleep with you tonight?"

After making the bed, the old lady sat down on it, looked at He Yushui and said with a smile.

He Yushui stood aside, quietly watching the old lady make the bed.

For some reason, she felt a little regretful now. She should not have slept at Aunt Yi's house. She missed her brother a little and wanted to go home and live.

"Ah? This isn't good, is it, Auntie?"

"Auntie, Yushui misses her brother a little bit. Yushui wants to go home and live."

He Yushui twisted her body as she spoke, and then her little face began to wrinkle again.

The aunt's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

I finally managed to get He Yushui to stay at home for the night, how could I let her go back?

She took out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket and stuffed it into He Yushui's arms.

"Don't forget that your brother Shazhu stinks all over. Do you want to go back and smell the stench of your brother Shazhu?"

He Yushui shook his head and said while pinching his nose.

"No, my brother stinks today, and he made Auntie's house stink too."

"That's right. Come, Yushui, let's go to bed. Auntie will tell you stories tonight. Auntie has so many stories that we can't finish them all in one night."

"Really? An old lady?" He Yushui opened her eyes wide with curiosity.

"Can an old lady really lie to you?" As she spoke, she carried Yu Shui to the bed.

Outside.

For the first time, Yi Zhonghai was smoking a pipe.

Looking at the scene in the room, Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction.

Then he murmured.

"It's almost there... If we keep going like this for another year or two, I'm afraid she won't come back even if we ask Yu Shui to."

"Shazhu is a man after all. No matter how attentively he takes care of Yushui, it won't work."

"After all, children of this age all miss their mothers..."

......

Jia family.

Jia Dongxu still slept on the floor in the room as usual.

Lying on the ground, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Chen Xiao is getting married tomorrow, and he is marrying the woman he, Jia Dongxu, loves.

Because of this, Jia Dongxu hardly went out the whole day. He didn't want to see Chen Xiao.

I was afraid that I would lose control and beat him again.

Looking at Tingting sleeping on the bed, Jia Dongxu swallowed.

They have been married for several days, but Tingting still refuses to let him touch her.

This made Jia Dongxu very anxious.

The greatest sorrow in life is that his wife is sleeping next to him, but he has to shake himself in the middle of the night.

"No matter what! Tingting is my woman! I want her no matter what you say today..."

Jia Dongxu clenched his fists.

The next moment he stood up from the floor.
