Li Yu's grandparents, as well as his second uncle and aunt, all live in the same courtyard. This courtyard is not a traditional courtyard house in Beijing. It's a miscellaneous courtyard in the traditional sense.

Li Yu lived in this compound until he was in elementary school. There were still a few neighbors living in the yard back then, but now I don't know where they have all moved.

Now the grandparents live in one room in the courtyard, the second uncle and two aunts live in one room, and Li Yu's younger brother lives in one room by himself. The remaining two empty rooms are mostly filled with clutter.

Originally, my aunt also lived together, but since getting married and giving birth to Li Yu's sister, the family has also moved into the marriage room allocated by the unit in the city. My sister should also be in high school in the past few years, so my aunt's family rarely comes back.

The fat man drove the car to the gate of the courtyard and took Li Yu's luggage out of the trunk. glanced at the courtyard and said to Li Yu: "Actually, it feels good to have such a small courtyard in the countryside." ”

Li Yu pouted with his suitcase, he didn't believe that the fat man could live in the habitual countryside: "You are just happy, you really let you live in, you can't stand it for two days." That smell of fat alone can smoke you half to death. ”

The fat man sniffed: "This doesn't smell much." Besides, they all use chemical fertilizer now, who still uses manure, don't fool me. ”

"I'm not fooling you. Don't forget, it's January now, it's all this smell, and you think about what summer has to be like. And you are not wrong to use chemical fertilizer, but generally a small piece of land is left at home to use your own fertilizer. Anyway, the watermelons grown in this small plot of land are enough for their own family to eat. ”

Li Yu really didn't fool the fat man, every year the watermelon left by his grandmother's family in the field tasted like the raw melon smell of the watermelon in the field without chemical fertilizer. Although watermelons are much smaller than those used with chemical fertilizers. But the taste is not a little bit worse.

"Hold it, now even the old farmer is so treacherous?" The fat man was shocked when he heard Li Yu's words: "You don't eat the watermelon with chemical fertilizer." ”

Li Yu shrugged his shoulders at the fat man: "Actually, it's not that you don't eat it, but you can't eat it, you can't eat the watermelons in the field left at home, and you can send some to relatives and friends every year, why eat those." And the land without fertilizer will be too troublesome after that, and if it is like this, don't plan to make money. ”

The reality is true, every year without chemical fertilizer watermelon is significantly smaller than the use of more than one circle, the watermelon businessman does not care whether you use chemical fertilizer or not, your watermelon is obviously smaller than other people's, that people are not happy to accept you.

It's useless for you to just say that your own family is good, you have to have someone to do it, the same variety, people are bigger than yours, and the weight is enough, then it is much more than the money you earn. No one wants to work hard for more than half a year to farm and finally not earn money, and they have to pay for their luck.

"Let's come in and have some food. "It's early in the morning, but it's already past dinner. Just call the fat man to the house for a meal.

The fat man waved his hand: "Don't eat, I'll go home directly." With that, he was going to get in the car and leave. Just opened the car door and stopped: "I almost forgot, you gave me your hukou, and I'll do it for you when I go back." It's a matter of one sentence. ”

Li Yu was no longer hypocritical, reached out and opened the suitcase, and handed his account page to the fat man from the side: "Don't lose it, it's very troublesome to reapply." ”

The fat man took it and threw it into the co-pilot's position: "Trouble fart, just wait for my call, that is, in the next two days." I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do. ”

Li Yu shook his hand and said goodbye, and the fat man ran away with a smoke.

Carrying a suitcase, Li Yu stepped into the courtyard gate. As I said before, this small courtyard is not a courtyard, although the area is not small, but it is a long strip, the courtyard door is open to the north, and the courtyard is a passageway, and the small room of the grandmother's house on the left hand side is the utility room. On the right-hand side is the side wall of grandma's house. The aisle is not wide, that is, it looks like one meter five or six.

Across the aisle, diagonally opposite is the kitchen, which is said to be a kitchen, but in fact it is a shed built of small red bricks. When I turned the corner, I saw two rows of small bungalows lined up facing each other.

The row standing on the north side is called the main house, which houses grandparents, as well as two uncles and aunts. Standing to the south is the residence of Li Yu's younger brother. This room is actually where my aunt's family lived before.

According to grandpa's arrangement, these houses were finally given to the two Li Yu brothers. Don't look at Grandpa Li Yu, he has no culture but pays great attention to tradition, so none of these bungalows are reserved for his aunt's family.

But my aunt doesn't care, Uncle Li Yu is a dim sum chef in Daoxiang Village, a century-old shop, although he is not a master, but his skills are acceptable. The income is not high, but it is not bad in these four or nine cities. In a few years, my sister will be admitted to a university in the northwest, and after graduation, she will work in a bank there, get married and have children there.

Li Yu's second aunt, according to the rules of the family, he wants to call the second mother. She is a housewife who has no job, and she is busy with those things with Li Yu's grandparents every year. The second uncle is doing some odd jobs in the city, mainly loading and unloading goods.

This kind of work is very tiring, but it is a lot of money, and it stands to reason that you can save some money. However, Li Yu, the second uncle, has a problem, he is simply addicted to alcohol. Often, before I go home every day, all the money I earn goes down to my stomach.

For this wine, this second uncle has never worked in one place. From time to time, he was fired for drinking and making mistakes. More than once he even injured himself at work because of drinking.

Later, he also suffered from alcoholic liver, and he was still secretly drinking in the ward, and no one knew where his wine came from.

In the end, he died in the same year as Li Yu's grandfather, and he was only fifty-three years old when he died, but he hadn't walked in front of his grandfather yet, a few months later than his grandfather.

When grandpa died, the second uncle was basically unable to move, and he was lying in bed all day. Li Yu is the eldest son and grandson, and there is no male in the family who can carry things, so the funerals of Li Yu's grandfather and second uncle can be said to be handled by Li Yu. It's thanks to my aunt that she moved back to the small courtyard at that time to live with her grandmother and take care of her, otherwise Li Yu would really be tired to death.

After that, Li Yu took his father's ashes out of the funeral home and buried them with his grandfather and second uncle. It's also a little more convenient when you go to the grave every year.

Speaking of Li Yu's grandfather, Li Yu was most impressed by a pair of bamboo boards hidden under the sofa all the year round. Not only is there no ash, but it is also polished to brighten and brighten.

Why is Li Yu so impressed? Because Li Yu has been beaten for this board, the only time Li Yu has remembered that his grandfather has been beaten by his grandfather is because of it.

Li Yu hadn't been to school at that time, and he lived with his grandparents. One day, the old man may have been very happy to drink, and he pulled out the board from under the sofa and came to the house for a while. Li Yu couldn't remember what he was singing for a long time. I remember that I was very happy at the time, arguing that my grandfather had to teach me.

As a result, he didn't expect the old man's face to turn black at that time, not only did he not teach Li Yu, but he grabbed Li Yu and beat him up, and scolded him for not learning well. It wasn't until grandma heard the movement that she came out to stop grandpa.

Since then, Li Yu has never seen his grandfather move the bamboo board, although the board is still lying under the sofa, it is still so bright.

Later, Li Yu fell in love with listening to cross talk. So according to these things I heard, and then contacted the old man's usual habits, I guessed that the grandfather should be a person in the cross talk door, and he still has a regular teacher. It's a pity that no matter how Li Yu asked, grandpa just didn't say anything.

Not only don't you say it, don't ask, the old man will be angry if he asks too much. Slap the table and stare at the eyes. After such a few times, Li Yu simply stopped asking, and the old man of the province was angry again.

In this way, the old man kept his secret in his heart and took it to the grave. Li Yu also extinguished his heart to find a teacher for his grandfather.
