Chapter 4: One Night
"Bang~~"
As soon as Jiang Yizhou's uncle and nephew entered the door, they heard a loud noise coming from the landlord's room.
Jiang Maode didn't care at all, and stretched out his hand contemptuously to stop Jiang Yizhou, "What are you going to do? What are you involved in other people's own family affairs? Don't you know that it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs? If you have this leisure, you still want to think about what to eat at night!"
Jiang Yizhou's expression was a little complicated, at least this kind of living in a courtyard, unlike the later generations that were enclosed in steel and cement cages, others could not interfere, and they could not interfere with other people's situations, he still cared about the people in the courtyard where he lived temporarily, especially the landlord still had some mental problems.
Then, after confirming that there was no more violent sound to follow, Jiang Yizhou comforted himself and followed the uncle back to his residence, and after a little preparation, he went to the simple kitchen under the long eaves outside to help cook the meal.
"Stain Stain Stain ......"
Pouring oil into the dry pot, ignoring the quarrel that could still be heard faintly, Jiang Yizhou cleaned the required ingredients, in fact, the most suitable for this season was nothing more than Chinese cabbage.
Maybe people lost their blood in such a step-by-step concession, compromise and cowardice, the original Jiang Yizhou was just a simple country guy, and now he is a poor person who will only retreat and give up, just work hard to survive, and don't know what the future is.
Therefore, he will be entangled, wanting to use the memories in his mind that surpass the present thirty years, so that he will no longer be troubled by this weak and incompetent "past" that can only strive to live.
To be honest, as long as there is some responsibility, courage, and some upright thoughts, Jiang Yizhou will not live as hard as he remembers.
There is no way to do good or evil, so I will bring it upon myself.
Jiang Yizhou never felt that even the stable era after the magnificent era he lived in would make it so difficult for people to live, everything was just done by himself, he couldn't complain about others, he obviously had a clear understanding of himself, but he always just opened his eyes and witnessed himself falling into a difficult predicament.
Therefore, now, under the influence of the original simple eighteen-year-old, strong-limbed, resolute and simple youth, Jiang Yizhou intends to change.
Mutter~~
Of course, let's get dinner ready for now!
"Bang~~"
Jiang Yizhou, who was facing away from the courtyard, heard the sound of slamming the door, and at the same time, the quarrel in the landlord's house also stopped, and he was a little relieved, and continued to hold the dishes from the plate with chopsticks and eat quietly.
……
Early the next morning, Jiang Yizhou got up early, and when he got up, he didn't even have a trace of fish belly white from a distance.
He washed up briefly, except for the change of autumn clothes and trousers, it was still the original set of clothes, and he carried a small bench and sat under the toon tree in the yard.
The cold of winter has penetrated into the bone marrow, and the tall tree has already been blown off its leaves in autumn and winter, leaving only bare branches, but there are still some weeds growing under it, some green, some yellow, and there are still frost and dew at this time, and a cold wind blows from time to time......
Jiang Yizhou sat in this small courtyard, looking over the courtyard wall that was not too high, looking into the distance, the direction of the rising sun in the east, except for shivering from the cold wind, tightening the neckline of his clothes, covering the gap in his neck, not saying a word, motionless, his eyes did not know whether to stare at the morning sun stubbornly or stubbornly.
He was a little confused, what could he do in this day and age, or what did he want to do?
Chirping~~
Jiang Maode was simply wrapped in a military coat, not too tightly covered, he should have come out to go to the toilet, looked at his nephew sitting in the yard, and was startled, at first he thought he was a thief, but after a closer look, he still recognized it.
"Nephew, what are you sitting there for? What are you frozen?" Jiang Maode asked Jiang Yizhou who was sitting on the small bench a few words, and finally seemed to be unable to hold it back, so he didn't continue, "Hurry up and let me into the house to freeze out, what should I do?"
Then he went out of the courtyard and went to the public toilet not far away, although there was a urinal in the room, but it was really small, and the large size was a little ......
Jiang Yizhou is also reflecting, thinking that he is doing a dispensable job without much technical content, even if he is reborn, is it so unbearable?
He clenched his fists and felt the tendons and flesh of his body, but it was not like the body that had been blessed by sitting in the office like in his previous life, which was a benefit.
Seeing that the sun was rising higher and higher, Jiang Yizhou finally dispelled his thoughts and returned to the house.
This is a method of self-reflection before losing the blood and desire in the previous life, drenched in heavy rain, or suffering from wind and snow in the wild in winter, and waiting until the cold penetrates the bone marrow, and returns to the warm dwelling, this time is probably the happiest and most unrestrained time, which can not be affected by those negative and decadent factors.
Jiang Maode, who was trembling, walked back to the house quickly, turned on the coal stove, and found that the three pieces of coal had almost burned, so he quickly replaced one piece first, opened the valve for ventilation for the coal stove, and made the furnace hot.
In the cold winter of the capital, all counting on the coal stove to warm the house, Jiang Yizhou took off his clothes and wrapped himself in the quilt, and dragged off the coat and cotton pants on the quilt to increase the warmth effect.
Jiang Maode carefully waited for the coal stove until the bottom piece was about to burn out, and the top two pieces were slowly burning, and the temperature in the room rose little by little.
"What are you crazy about? Seeing that you are frozen like that, you have probably been outside for two or three hours, right? Do you want to freeze?" Jiang Maode felt that this kid had changed too quickly, he went back to his hometown for the New Year last year, and he was still such an honest and capable child, how did he become like this, it couldn't be that there was a problem with his brain, right?
"Uncle, it's okay, I just want to calm down, I'm much better now. Jiang Yizhou, who leaned on the head of the bed with a large pillow, didn't say much.
Jiang Maode's face was angry, glaring at him, his lips squirming, he wanted to say but couldn't say it, he could see it.
In the eyes of this nephew, he didn't listen to his intention of forcing him as an elder, as if he was saying, whatever you say, you are an old man, I listen, but what I should do is my business, and I don't need you to care.
The uncle and nephew cooked a small half-pot of porridge with last night's leftovers and ate them alive.
Jiang Yizhou took his belongings, that is, his ID card, money, and some other odd and miscellaneous things, and prepared to leave.
"Uncle, I'm out. ”
He pushed open half of the door and turned back into the room to say a flat word.
"Remember to come back for dinner. Jiang Maode sat by the coal stove after breakfast, roasting the fire, and didn't even slant his eyes, but just said lightly, angry.
