Chapter 157: A Home More Than Thirty Years Apart
The Carambola Creek siblings walked and stopped, talking and laughing, and it took two hours to reach the foot of the mountain.
The village of Steep Gate is at the foot of Heming Mountain, and their home is in Taimen near the foot of this mountain.
The houses in the village do not know which style to follow, they are all Taimen-style buildings, and the pattern is similar to that of the courtyard, but the difference is that there is no door in Taimen.
The old Taimen are all living in their own families, and most of the newly built Taimen are close to each other.
The Taimen where the Carambola Creek family is located is called the new Taimen of the Yang family, which was built by the children and grandchildren of each branch, and more than a dozen families are stained with their relatives.
"Sister, do you want to take a break?" Yang Yanxi asked Carambola Creek for the Nth time.
Along the way, he asked once after walking for a while, for fear that Carambola Creek would be tired.
"No, I don't. Carambola Xi shook her head and looked up at everything in her own door.
At this point, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, the people who had gone out to work had not returned, the children had not finished school, and the people at home were all old people or women who took care of the family.
The only house in the gate is almost open, and directly above the door, it is the home in her memory.
Unlike other people's pure wooden buildings, the first floor of her house is made of large pieces of bluestone, and the second floor is made of wood, and the roof is also paved with green tiles, and there is a small courtyard at the back.
This house was built by her mother and her husband and wife in the first year of marriage.
returned to his home after more than 30 years, and for a while, Carambola Creek had mixed feelings in his heart.
On the far left of the house, a deep well was dug and a row of stone platforms were built next to it for people to wash their clothes and vegetables.
There is also a grapefruit tree planted next to the well, with a thick trunk, which is older than the age of this gate.
On the trunk of the tree, there are many notches left by children who are taller than they are.
In the past, she also left a record on the grapefruit tree.
On the right, there is also a pomegranate tree and a loquat tree.
A vegetable patch was opened under the tree, and some common side vegetables were planted.
These were originally her family's, but Yang Haixia never housekew, and Cheng Cuijuan was very good at being a person, so the well became common to everyone in Taimen, and a few trees became a paradise for the children in Xintaimen.
"Ah, Tao Tao and Ah Yan are back. ”
A thin black woman came out of the door of the first house on the left side of the stage, still holding a pot of pig food in her hand, and shouted in surprise when she saw the two of them.
"Aunt Hua. Carambola Creek greeted with a smile.
She remembered the woman.
In terms of relationship, this woman is the daughter-in-law of Yang Haixia's cousin Yang Haisong, named Xin Hua.
Yang Haisong is a firefighter, and ten years ago he died in the fire in order to save people, leaving a pair of children to Xin Hua.
Yang Haisong's brother wanted to occupy the house, so he secretly made it bad, thinking that Xin Hua rushed back to her parents' house, and the Xin family also wanted another bride price to force Xin Hua to remarry.
Xin Hua was unwilling, so she nailed a martyr's sign to the door, and pulled her son and daughter alone.
Her daughter is the same age as her and used to be a classmate in elementary school.
The son is the same age as Yang Yanxi, and he is a friend who plays with him when he is young.
Because of that incident, Yang Haixia contributed, so Xin Hua also took special care of the three sisters and brothers of Carambola Creek who had no mother, and when Carambola Creek was young, she ate at their house.
"Why is it just the two of you? Didn't Cuijuan say to take care of Taotao?
Xin Hua looked outside, asked with a puzzled face, said, and put the pig food pot in her hand on the side of the stone, and came to help the star fruit stream, and the questions came out one after another.
"Aunt Juan sent Xuexi back to Cheng's house, Qingxi and Jinxi also went, they had something, so Aunt Juan gave me money, and we came back first. ”
Carambola Xi replied with a smile, not mentioning Cheng Cuijuan half a word.
"Are your feet alright?" Xin Hua looked up and down at Carambola Creek, with pity in her eyes, "Why are you so careless?"
"I accidentally fell down the stairs and suffered a slight bone crack, so I can get better if I raise it. Carambola Creek smiled and slowly walked inside.
"What I fell by myself, it was clearly pushed by the third sister. Yang Yanxi stopped doing it, and corrected it unhappily next to him.
"What's going on?" Xin Hua was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
"Is Momo coming back?"
Someone on the right asked suspiciously, and the loud voice suddenly alarmed everyone.
