In the old days, there were many green buildings in Hualou Street, and now only some broken stone scroll vaults remain, which can be seen to be the pattern of a high-rise mansion and a deep courtyard in the past. The former elaborate courtyard attic is divided into several homes by various exposed brick walls. Everywhere are wires and network cables, newly installed PVC plastic sewer pipes. The illegal division of the low sheds made of various materials occupies the space of the yard, and the winding paths lead to each house.

After decades of ups and downs, Hualou Street has become a typical example of urban villages and shantytowns. The wind of several demolitions blew and there was no news. The old residents of Hualou Street still live a life of drinking big bowls of tea and gossiping under the plane trees on the side of the street.

The sound of chickens and dogs can be heard, and the smell of vegetables can be smelled at the end of the street fried fish.

There are no secrets in Hualou Street.

Fu Pengpeng applied for the female anchor of the TV station and successfully broke into the interview, so Sister Xiaoyu was very beautiful for a while. Then he was depressed for a while.

Time can turn news into old news. A month later, Zhang Xiaoyu returned to her original life trajectory. The grocery store's main source of customers is the Internet café next door. There is little business during the day. After lunch, Zhang Xiaoyu asked her neighbors to help keep an eye on the shop as usual, and went to the small mahjong parlor on the street with a small money bag with embroidered beads.

Almost all of the people playing cards in this mahjong parlor are neighbors. As soon as Zhang Xiaoyu walked closer, Aunt Niu, who was hiding behind the plane tree, beckoned to her.

"What do you sneak around?"

"I'm kind enough to report to you, Song Tao's mother is here to play mahjong. Aunt Niu glanced at the glass door behind her, which said that the air conditioner was open and hemp, and lowered her voice, "People are very generously dressed, and the pearl necklaces around their necks are finger-thick. When you see someone, you give them gifts. Her family, Song Tao, brought back a lot of cosmetics from abroad and gave me a bottle. It's all written in foreign characters, and it's a good thing at first glance. ”

Zhang Xiaoyu sneered in his nostrils: "Foreign words are good things? If you don't understand, don't use hair removal cream to wipe your face." They've all moved away and come back to show off!"

"It's not!" Aunt Niu stared at Zhang Xiaoyu carefully, as if she wanted to see something, "Her Song Tao will be admitted to the TV station as soon as she comes back." Wow, wow, wow, showing off in there for a while. Sister Xiaoyu, your friends are not ...... Hey, you'd better not go today. ”

"The TV station gets a dead salary. That is, looking at the scenery on the surface. Zhang Xiaoyu's mouth was stiff, and she refused to flinch in front of Aunt Niu more and more, "Look at what you said, Song Tao's mother is here, I even have to avoid her when I play cards?"

As he spoke, he threw down Aunt Niu and entered the mahjong hall.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Sister Xiaoyu is still so beautiful!" Song Tao's mother, who had been paying attention to the movement at the door, smiled and complimented Zhang Xiaoyu.

The two have been fighting for most of their lives, and Zhang Xiaoyu's mouth is unforgiving: "Song Tao's mother is a rare guest." I married a rich man who looks down on the neighbors of Hualou Street, right? It's rare to see you again. ”

"Don't delay playing cards and catching up! If we continue to talk, it's time to go home and make dinner." Aunt Niu pulled a neighbor to sit down, and the four of them quickly formed a table.

Song Tao's mother touched the cards slowly and methodically, and said softly: "It's still comfortable to play cards with the old neighbors." In the past, my family Song Tao went abroad to study, and I often went abroad to take care of her, and I didn't have time to come back to play. Now she has returned to China and has been admitted to the TV station. When my children are older and work, I can also breathe a sigh of relief and retire with peace of mind. ”

"Song Tao, this kid will give us a long face on Hualou Street when he is young! Song Tao's mother, you have to treat you." ”

Looking at Aunt Niu's flattering face, Zhang Xiaoyu only felt tightness in her chest and shortness of breath. She glared at Aunt Niu fiercely and played a card: "People have already moved away, you are embarrassed to let people treat you......"

"Naturally, please. Everyone grew up watching Song Tao. She can't forget her roots when she has a chance. I booked sixteen tables in Lan Xiang Yuan. The old bear personally cooks the Oiran feast. Then all the neighbors will appreciate their faces. Song Tao's mother turned her head and said loudly to the neighbors in the mahjong parlor, and she didn't forget to put the cards played by Zhang Xiaoyu in front of her, "It's over!"

Song Tao's mother's provocative eyes made Zhang Xiaoyu stand up all over her body in response. She threw the chips over neatly, and her smile did not change: "This marriage is the same as playing cards." Song Tao's mother's cards are played well, and when you see that the cards are not good, you can quickly change them. Change to a rich husband, hey, the cards are drawn. Song Tao doesn't have to take the college entrance examination to have the money to study abroad. Hey, pity my family friends, how did I marry a short-lived poor ghost, and I played a good hand of cards. ”

Father Fu is the white moonlight in Song Tao's mother's heart, a thorn in her heart. She lowered her eyes and whispered: "Peng Peng is so beautiful, with a rich man, Sister Xiaoyu will be happy." ”

The status of being a rich man is completely different from marrying a rich man. The status of the little third and second mothers and the main room is like mud. It's a pity that Zhang Xiaoyu is uneducated, and she can't hear it with a shallow mind, so she was immediately led into the ditch by Song Tao's mother's words: "That is, my friends are so beautiful, and a man who has no ability is not worthy of her." ”

Song Tao's mother suppressed the disdain in her heart, and pretended to be curious: "I heard that Sister Xiaoyu also planned to set up a flower banquet in Lanxiang Garden. I don't know what kind of happy event it is, and you won't invite me?"

"It's not Pengpeng's dead girl who is a demon!" The matter that was finally calmed down was turned over by Song Tao's mother again, Zhang Xiaoyu hated it so much, and pretended to tell the lie as if it were true, "It's also a formal job for the TV station to get a dead salary." Who knew that Peng Peng couldn't look down on it and deliberately failed the test. Said that it was good to invite neighbors to be admitted. Isn't this yellow? Song Tao's mother, please do the same. Old Bear's Oiran feast, can you still make two flavors?"

The game ends early. Song Tao's mother has reached her goal and is leaving. Zhang Xiaoyu lost the money, held her stomach and made excuses to go home to make dinner.

The two broke up at the mahjong parlor with a smile. When she got home, Zhang Xiaoyu threw away the mask she had installed all afternoon, and cried in the sofa holding a photo of Fu's father.
