No. 2 Fan'er Hutong is just a small courtyard with four families, but the structure is quite complicated.

In addition to a towering toon tree and a tap with a pool, each family has its own small house.

There is no room for this courtyard at all, and it is also very similar to a large pancake that has fallen to the ground.

Pick it up, you can still eat it, but the level and content inside are all messy.

The reason for this is, of course, due to the Tangshan earthquake in 1976.

As an area where you can feel the tremors, it is because of the time when people were in a state of panic.

Everyone built an earthquake shelter in the yard, and then converted it into their own small kitchen and utility room.

If an outsider walks in for the first time, they will definitely feel like they are entering a labyrinth because of the chaotic terrain.

Or inadvertently, the difference in the height of the ground hurts the garlic under the soles of the feet.

At a quarter past six in the evening, when Ning Weimin walked into this "big pancake".

As usual, I caught up with the meal.

Every family is busy with dinner, and the whole courtyard is filled with the smell of frying and frying.

I have to say that going home at this moment has always been a little uncomfortable for Ning Weimin.

Because in an era, people talk about etiquette and politeness.

Ning Weimin walked into the courtyard with one foot high and one foot low, and he could often meet neighbors who served food from the kitchen.

If they meet, he'll have to call someone.

Uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, talk a few words before you can continue to go inside.

Secondly, because the food was fragrant, the gluttonous worms in Ning Weimin's stomach had to endure the seduction.

With his scarce stomach, he was naturally even more hungry and thirsty.

And no one is rich these days, even if others give it to each other, he can't really be not.

Hey, I can smell it, but I can't eat it.

After thanking him in person, he still had to go back to his house with Harazi in his mouth, and hold the nest with Old Man Kang.

What a big gap in my heart.

However, today is a little different from usual.

After making such a fortune, no matter what, it has to be celebrated.

So he didn't come back empty-handed.

Except for the things I bought for the blind people, they were stuffed into big bags.

In his other hand, he was carrying a bottle of liquor and four solid oil paper bags for Old Man Kang.

Anyone who looks at it knows that the oil paper bag must be delicious!

So the scene that used to gloom him became a ceremony to welcome him home.

The temptation that used to annoy him has become a prelude to increasing his appetite.

The first thing I passed was Uncle Luo's house in the pastry factory.

Ning Weimin walked to the small kitchen of the Luo family, and met Aunt Luo with a plate of scrambled eggs, opened the door and was about to send it to the house.

Without asking, Ning Weimin knew that this was for the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family.

This is a happy event that is destined to happen to the Luo family this year.

The eldest daughter-in-law is already pregnant, and it is estimated that she should give birth in September.

"Weimin, you're back......" Aunt Luo turned her head to greet her.

"Hey, Aunt Luo. As I said, you're a master of your craft. I smelled it outside the courtyard, and it was fragrant. ”

"Hi, a plate of scrambled eggs. Look at what you said......"

"It's better to come early than to be in time, you kid smells fragrant, then eat here with me." ”

Another voice came from the open door, it was Uncle Luo who was drinking in the house.

The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family also sat at the dinner table, holding a rice bowl to Ning Wei Minle.

But Ning Weimin is so embarrassed, hurry up and excuse himself.

"Uncle Luo, thank you, I'll also fight my teeth today. You see......

Ning Weimin's action of carrying the handle is particularly crucial.

The expression of the Luo family at this time, if a book is written, the title of the book will definitely be "Ten Thousand Unexpected".

"Yo, this wine is good, Hua Deng. You kid has a conscience, bought it for your Uncle Kang, right?"

"Uncle Luo, I bought it for you, you go to my place for a drink. ”

"Haha, you're welcome. But I know it, I've eaten it all. Go back, wait for the stubble toon in our yard to come down, and the two of us will drink scrambled eggs with toon. ”

Hey, this is the first time that Ning Weimin has changed from passive to active and dares to invite others.

I have all the face!

When you turn a corner, it will be the home of Uncle Bian and Aunt Bian.

Ning Weimin saw that the old lady was steaming on the stove inside and outside the kitchen.

Don't look at the lid of the pot, but what is inside, he can still smell it with his nose.

also knew that if she had to bow her head and go over, the old lady would definitely be angry.

So through the window of the small kitchen, he took the initiative to say hello to Aunt Bian.

"Auntie, you're eating stuffing again today, cabbage and pork, right?"

"Yo, Minzi is back, you have a real nose. Your uncle loves to eat stuffing. Don't go, I'll get you a few too, just out of the pot, eat it while it's hot. ”

"Don't don't, auntie, I bought a ready-made one today, and it's also a matter of eating it when I enter the house. ”

"Ouch, that's good, then go back to the house quickly, don't let your Uncle Kang wait in a hurry. ”

No, the old lady was also surprised when she saw the wine and the oil paper bag.

This made Ning Weimin beautiful again.

This taste in my heart, floating!

But this is not over, even the innermost east house of the small courtyard, the projectionist Master Mi and his family in the Daguanlou Cinema, have not been pulled down.

It's also time for Ning Weimin to be in the limelight today.

Just as he put down his canvas bag and was about to pull the door of his house.

Master Mi was holding a toothpick, draped in clothes, and holding a handbag, just coming out of the house.

This person saw the things in Ning Weimin's hand at a glance, and his eyes widened even more.

"Yo, what day is it today? This is not a year's holiday, I want to open meat!"

"Hey, isn't this a bad stomach lately, and even farting is not a taste, so I replenish the oil and water. Have you eaten and have a drink? ”

"Haha, I've eaten it all, you kid, and you're making fun of me again. Drink it with you Uncle Kang. ”

Master Mi was about to stagger over, but suddenly stood up again, and patted Ning Weimin on the shoulder.

"By the way, if you're full for a while, you'll be fine, and you'll just go to watch a movie with me. Today, a new film will be released in Daguanlou, "Returning to the Heart Like an Arrow......"

"Thank you, Master Mi. I'm going to get dizzy after a while, so I'll go. ”

Between talking and laughing, Master Mi was finally discharged from the hospital, and Ning Weimin was really able to enter the house.

But at this time, for some reason, he came out of his mind on the spot, and his mood was quite complicated.

It seems that there is another layer of understanding of the neighborhood relationship in this era.

Yes, although these words cannot be taken seriously, everyone knows that they are just polite, but they cannot be simply defined as meaningless hypocrisy.

Because these polite sets do contain true feelings, cordiality and enthusiasm.

Only when he returned to this era did he clearly understand what the people of the capital were like in the past.

Kindness, honesty and generosity are the mainstream values of these older generations.

These neighbors, the neighbors, are all acquaintances who have lived together for more than ten years or decades.

Uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, these titles are not false.

As long as there is a yard to live in, these neighbors are far more useful than relatives.

Not to mention the daily chores of looking at clothes, watching children, making stoves, and guarding the door

Even if it catches up with childbirth, illness, weddings and funerals, and resolves family conflicts, you can also count on these people who are not related by blood to help.

No one cares about "meddling, not falling".

It will not be like the neighbors of later generations, the camel yawns - the neck is twisted, and no one pays attention to anyone.

To be honest, in this era, he has really eaten all the meals of every family.

Now that he thinks about it, he is afraid of this kind of politeness and annoyance to this kind of scene.

In fact, it is probably because he has not been able to repay this favor, and he feels inferior and guilty.

In other words, if he really answered just now.

So whether it's scrambled eggs or big buns with meat filling, he must have it all.

Even if the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family loses her mouth, Aunt Bian's family is afraid that the two of them will have to make up the number.

The two families won't say anything, and they will still greet him like this next time.

It's not for the side, just because this is the folk customs of the capital and Yan Zhao's generosity.

Hey, it's strange that the old man often talks to him.

“...... In the more than ten years since I returned to my hometown, I was awkward no matter how I stayed. I don't know if it's because people are awkward or if I'm awkward. It wasn't until I ran back again that I seemed to understand a little. What worries me about it is probably not the capital, but the sophistication of the people here......"

At the moment when the door was opened, Ning Weimin already had an idea.

He decided that the things he bought today must not be boring.

There are comings and goings, and they return the favor.

After entering the door, if nothing else, I had to find a few empty bowls, divide the contents of these oiled paper bags, and send some to each family.

Compared to the insignificant smugness just now, this is a higher level of happiness.
