Chapter 269, the origin of Hanfu Street
The real name of the street on the east side of Tianhe High School is Zhifu Street, but now the people who live on that street call this street Hanfu Street.
The scenery of this street is very beautiful, back and forth two one-way bluestone roads, there is a small river in the middle of the road, the river is green weeping willows on both sides, there will be a small bridge that connects with each other every other at intervals, the water in the river is very clear, you can almost see the fish and shrimp swimming in it.
Under a willow tree by the bridge, a little girl lay in front of an old man's chaise longue and listened to the old man tell her a story.
"In the past, Hanfu Street is a dilapidated street east of the Tianhe High School campus, called Zhifu Street, living in this street, all are old people over 60 years old like me, the houses here, many are old tile houses, a few years ago there are many real estate developers want to demolish the houses here and build residential buildings, but the old people here do not agree, even if the real estate developers invited the officials of the Housing Authority to lobby, no one agreed, the officials of the Housing Authority and the real estate developers really had no choice, so they mobilized the children of these old people to persuade, basically all the benefits that could be given, but the old people on this street are still stubborn like a donkey, no one will tear down the house. β
"Why is that, grandpa?" asked the little girl curiously.
The old man sighed and said: "In fact, there is only one fundamental reason, every brick and tile of the house was built by the parents of the old people, and no one is willing to tear it down." β
"I see, I don't like living in residential buildings, it's too boring. The little girl said with her little hand on her chin.
"Yes, the people on our street are very simple, they don't love money, they value feelings. The old man said.
"And then?" asked the little girl.
"Later, those annoying real estate agents and people from the housing authority came up with a way, these houses are already very old, waiting for a few of these houses to become dangerous houses, or collapse one or two houses, and then the housing authority will show a relevant document, even if those old people stop again, the real estate agent can also demolish the house in a bright light. β
"They're so bad!" the little girl took her rattle and tapped the toy mouse in her other hand.
"Yes, but their plans were ruined by a teenager. β
"What kind of teenager?"
"I heard from the person in Hanfu Street, three years ago, I don't know where a teenager came, he claimed that his name was Aji, studying in Tianhe High School, he said that he knew feng shui, and he could help the river next to us find a spring for flowing water, and this small river would no longer dry up. The old man pointed to the clear river beside him.
"Ah, was this river dry before, grandpa?" said the little girl curiously.
The old man nodded and continued: "At first, many people didn't believe it, but he really dug a spring at the bottom of the river with a shovel, giving the river a new lease of life. β
"Grandpa, is the spring you are talking about the hole on the north side of the street that keeps bubbling water?"
"That's right, that's it. β
"And what happened, what happened?"
"Later, the boy offered to help us repair the house for free, reinforcing our old house that should be reinforced, repairing bricks that should be repaired, and replacing Wagava if we needed it, and all of them were free!"
"Why is that?" said the little girl curiously.
"Well, there must be a reason, he should have put forward a condition, that is, to make our street a street of Han culture. β
"What is a Han Culture Street?"
"It is the culture of our own nation, you look at the alleys of our road, starting from the first number, they are Warring States Lane, Qin Lane, Han Lane, Three Kingdoms Lane, Jin Lane, Sui Lane, Tang Lane, Song Lane, Ming Lane. The name of each alley is taken from the dynasty established by our nation, and the corresponding exhibits and goods in it are corresponding to that dynasty. β
"So, it seems that the big brother has convinced the whole of our village. The little girl asked.
"That's right, because he did us a great favor at that time, repairing and reinforcing the houses of each of our families, and painting them in classical colors. The old man said.
"How did he do it alone?"
"Of course he didn't do it alone, there were a lot of young people at that time, I remember there should be hundreds of people, they said they were all teenagers from the Hanfu Society, now think about it, they are really good children, not only did they not want a dime from us, but also helped us check several times after repairing, and what is more powerful is that since it was changed to Hanfu Street, the people of the city government have classified this place as a key cultural protection area, and it is strictly forbidden to demolish and pollute, more and more people come to us every year to travel, and our life is not only getting better and more interestingγ The old man couldn't help but sigh.
"Hanfu Society, I will join this place in the future, grandpa, is this beautiful dress I am wearing a Hanfu?" said the little girl with a smile.
The old man nodded and said, "That's right, the one you are wearing now is called a skirt, which is a kind of Hanfu, which I bought for you for 15 yuan in Ming Lane." β
"Haha, that's great, I'm also a member of the Hanfu Society!" the little girl jumped up excitedly and clapped her hands.
The old man couldn't help but laugh.
"By the way, grandpa, what's the name of that big brother, I really want to see him. The little girl asked.
"His name is Ji Jinru. is a basketball player at Tianhe High School, and this year he is expected to leave high school and go to college. The old man said.
"Ah, then I won't see him. The little girl said in disappointment.
"No, they still have two games to play, how about I take you to the sports center next time to watch him play?" said the old man with a smile.
"Really, grandpa! Great, you must take me there!" said the little girl.
"Okay, good, I promise you, haha!"
"Great, I must cheer for Brother Zhenru, I guess Brother Zhenru must be very powerful!" the little girl said excitedly.
At this moment, I saw two people coming from the north, one of them was an old man under the age of seventy and the other was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, these two people were none other than Junichiro Aoki and Miheko.
"Hello, old man, may I ask, do you know which house on this street has the house number eight and a half?" asked Miheko.
The old man looked at the clothes of these two people, and then said, "I haven't heard of the number eight and a half." β
"But this address is indeed written at No. 8 and 1/2 Hanfu Street, so it means that we have gone wrong. The girl took out the letter from yesterday and showed it to the old man.
"I really don't know about this, but I guess it's between the number 8 and the number 9, but unfortunately there is nothing between the two of them except a stone table carved with a chess board. The old man thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, now I understand. Miheko said excitedly, "Thank you so much, this is the cost of asking for the road, you take it." Miheko said, pulling out a hundred-dollar bill.
"Big sister, ask for a way and give me the money! Are you confused!" the little girl said with a laugh.
"See, my granddaughter has said it, ask for a way to pay back the money, what do you think?" said the old man stroking the little girl's head.
"Sorry, rude!" Miheko hurriedly apologized.
"Dude, you children on the street are the future of Chinese culture. At this time, Junichiro Aoki came over and looked at the little girl's clothes and said.
"You've won the prize. The old man said.
"Alright, Miheko, let's go. Junichiro Aoki said.
"Yes, Sensei!" Miheko said.
After the two had finished speaking, they walked south.
Under the willow tree opposite the No. 8 and No. 9 houses of Hanfu Street, there is indeed a stone table, on which is carved a chessboard.
"I think this is it, teacher. Miheko said.
Junichiro Aoki nodded, then sat down on the stone pier next to the stone table and said, "We'll wait for him here." β
"Yes, teacher!" Miheko walked over to the stone table and sat down.
