Chapter Eighty-Three: Tutoring
The wooden fences of each house are usually planted with vines.
There are loofahs, gourds, grapes, and so on.
There are also some families who are particular about it and have a bit of flair, and they will plant some flowers and plants in the yard.
Sun Yuan's family is obviously this kind of exquisite family.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, there was a moon in the open space on the right-hand side.
This is a very popular flower in a small northern town, which is easy to play with, and blooms every month when the weather is warm.
Right now, all that remains of their moon flowers are pruned branches, covered with straw.
It's like a greenhouse vegetable a few years later.
This RB room is also north-south, facing south and facing north.
Its layout is not luxurious.
The first floor is a hallway as soon as you enter the door.
There are cupboards for hanging clothes, and shoes are left at the door.
The floor is 20 centimeters above the ground, and there is a "knock" sound when you walk on it.
This feeling makes the white customer feel comfortable.
Floors before the seventies were like this.
It can be seen in many old buildings with strong style.
The floor is so high above the ground that you can even hide things under the floor.
However, what kind of structure the keel of this floor is, Bai Ke has never known.
But there were no cement nails and no percussion drills during this period.
The keel is quite strong, and as long as the floor itself is not broken and immortal, it will not be a problem to use it for thirty or forty years.
After the 90s, every household began to lay floors.
At this time, the floor also has a keel, and a small wooden square with a thickness of three or four centimeters is nailed to the cement floor with cement nails or percussion drills, and then the floor is laid on it.
Naturally, it is only three or four centimeters above the ground.
That "knock-knock" feeling is much less.
After another ten years, the keel was no longer used when laying floors in the northern region.
Directly level the floor, then spread the moisture-proof film, and then squeeze the floor hard.
At this point, the feeling of "knocking" on the floor is completely gone.
Right now, Bai Ke took off his shoes and stepped on the floor, enjoying this "dong dong" to the fullest.
The Japanese house is very well designed and warm.
Although there is no big kang, it is also the kind of earth heater that I burn myself.
But the house was much warmer than in the white house.
Take two small steps down the hallway, a semi-partitioned living room on the right, and a door on the left.
Inside this door is a bedroom.
At the end of the hallway, there is a door that leads to the kitchen.
The kitchen opens onto the backyard.
There is also a door at the end of the hallway on the left-hand side, which houses the bathroom.
It is estimated that in the past, these doors were sliding doors.
Later, it was changed to a door that opened inside and out.
The current door doesn't feel very harmonious in such an environment.
In addition to this bedroom on the first floor, there are two bedrooms, a study and a bathroom on the second floor.
All these rooms are compact.
The largest living room, if there were more than five or six people, would be cramped.
Bai Ke thinks this is good, just enough.
It's not like the nouveau riche living room of later generations.
The space is large enough to fit a dozen or twenty people, but most of the time only one or two people are active.
When he walked to the door of the living room, Bai Ke hesitated.
He saw the thing that tugged at his heartstrings and haunted himβthe phonograph.
Sun Yuan pushed behind him, "Good dogs don't get in the way!"
The white guest staggered in and sat down on the mahogany sofa.
Sun Yuan skillfully picked up the record from the bookshelf, and was about to put it on the gramophone, when Bai Ke immediately shouted: "Don't! That's not good!"
"Hmph, which one do you know?"
"I don't understand, it's Carpenter's. β
"What's wrong?"
"Glamorous sound. β
"Hmph, I didn't want you to listen to it. β
"How nice would it be to listen to Beethoven?"
Sun Yuan ignored him and put the record on directly.
After that, he turned around and asked, "Do you still know Beethoven?"
"Why can't I know?"
This time, Sun Yuan didn't go crazy, but sighed: "Alas, I thought you were a nerd." β
After a while, the prelude to "Yesterday Again" sounded, and Bai Ke hurriedly got up.
"I'll go make it easier. β
When the song was finished, Bai Ke came out of the bathroom.
When I got to the corridor, I saw an old man slowly going downstairs, and hurriedly went over to help him.
This is Sun Yuan's father, who is only 63 years old now.
But in Bai Ke's opinion, Old Man Sun can't keep up with his grandfather, and he looks like a three-high old man.
Standing with Sun Yuan, full of grandchildren.
Bai Ke stretched out his hand to take a hand, and Old Man Sun smiled: "It's okay, just go downstairs slowly." β
Sun Yuan came out of the living room at once.
Old Man Sun pointed at Bai Ke: "Your classmate?"
Sun Yuan shook his head: "He's in the third grade, help me with my homework." β
Old Man Sun nodded: "Okay, at first glance, he is a smart child." Come, let's sit down in the room for a while. β
Bai Ke had a good impression of Old Man Sun in his previous life.
The old man was very easy-going and not snobbish.
It's a pity that his health is not good, and the last white guest was seven or eight years later, when Sun Yuan saw the old man when he was in his second year of high school.
But half a year later, the old man hung up.
Otherwise, Bai Ke would have been his son-in-law in his last life.
The old man beckoned the white guest into the living room, sat down on the mahogany sofa, and bent down to take out a small iron box from the coffee table.
Bai Ke knew that it was the old man's snack box.
The old man likes to eat desserts, especially cloud cakes.
Each time, he took out a few slices and gave them to the white customers to eat.
Each slice of this cloud cake is pressed together by many small flakes one or two millimeters thick, with sesame seeds and walnut kernels inside.
Every time he eats it, Bai Ke is reluctant to chew it, but puts it in his mouth and slowly melts it with saliva.
In this life, white customers are rich, but it is not easy to eat cloud cakes.
Because there is no sale in this small county town, you can only buy it in department stores in the city.
So, when the old man picked up the cloud cake again and gave it to the white guest.
Half out of politeness, half out of genuine affection.
Just like in the previous life, Bai Ke put the cloud cake in his mouth and sipped it.
The old man was delighted.
Because the old man has this mentality: he likes to see what he likes also liked by others.
Bai Ke feels that people with such a psychology are pure and kind in their hearts.
Bai Ke really wants to persuade the old man, you old man should eat less sweet.
The old man smokes, drinks and has a sweet tooth.
It's no wonder if it's not three highs.
But after thinking about it, Bai Ke still held back, and he was not very familiar with the old man at the moment.
As for the future, it is also unknown whether he will continue to go with Sun **.
So, let's talk about it then.
After sitting for a while, seeing that Sun Yuan didn't speak, Bai Ke took the initiative to say, "I still have to go home early, or I'll give you a make-up lesson now." β
Sun Yuan got up silently.
"Dad, I'm going up to study. β
The old man nodded: "Okay." β
Sun Yuan has an older brother and a younger sister, both of whom are more than ten years older than her.
The elder brother served in the army, and the older sister worked as a nurse in the hospital.
Although their RB room is comfortable and high-end, the degree of spaciousness is not better than that of the white guest.
The four brothers of the white guest family are one person in one room.
Sun Yuan's house is shared with her sister, her brother is in a room, and her parents are in a room.
Of course, Sun Yuan's brother is away all the year round, and his room is always empty.
Sun Yuan also came in from time to time.
It's just that she prefers to live on the roof with her sister.
Bai Ke followed Sun Yuan upstairs, opened the book and reviewed.
The two were very close to each other, and Sun Yuan's exhalation spat onto Bai Ke's face from time to time.
Sometimes when Bai Ke secretly glanced at it, he could also see Sun Yuan's big eyes sparkling.
It's early for a girl to be sensible.
And that snobbish woman, you really don't know your children, let alone your own daughter.
