Chapter 159: The Old Man

Gu Zhengqin took it and didn't ask why, when he came back, he brought an empty lunch box, a stove and a small casserole, Shen Hui stewed the bones, and put the lunch box on the top of the casserole, and after a while, the food in the lunch box was hot, let Gu Zhengqin eat it first, and she heated the side dishes that Gu Zhengqin brought back from outside on the stove, and the two of them ate it together.

After the meal, the two locked the door and went out to hang out.

Seriously, it's not like after the reform and opening up, there is a night market in the city, and the streets here are empty, except for the people who come home from work, there are also children wandering outside, but it won't be too late, and after a while, they should also go home for dinner.

After a while, a person walked in front of him, because of the dim light, even Gu Zhengqin only saw the person's vague face, but he faintly felt that he looked like Instructor Jiang, and he walked a few steps quickly to chase after him, Shen Hui was also busy trotting to follow, I don't know if the movement of the two was a little big, and the person disappeared after turning a corner.

Shen Hui stopped panting and asked, "What's wrong, do you know that person?"

Gu Zhengqin nodded seriously, "I look like Instructor Jiang." ”

"Isn't he being re-educated?"

Shen Hui let out a breath, she thought that her body was already quite fast, but compared to these soldiers, she would become scum, looking at Gu Zhengqin's face was not red, and she was calm and relaxed, she was envious and jealous.

"It was over a few days ago, I thought he was back in his hometown......"

Gu Zhengqin muttered, it's always a comrade-in-arms, although he has done a lot of wrong things, but he can't bear to see people in ruin, if he stays in the city, everyone can find a way to help him find a better job.

"Oh, then he didn't go home and didn't do the work he had arranged?" Shen Hui asked.

Gu Zhengqin shook his head, "I don't know, forget it, don't care, let's talk about it next time." ”

Thinking about it, he looked at the house number in front of him, and pulled Shen Hui to walk in the other direction of the alley, "Go this way." ”

"Where are we going?" After walking for half an hour, the two of them kept shuttling in the alley, and Shen Hui was confused and couldn't see where they were going, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, I'll show you someone!" Gu Zhengqin squeezed his hand and said.

Shen Hui nodded and asked casually, "Who?"

Gu Zhengqin said: "Let's not talk about it, you will see it soon." ”

"It's quite mysterious, so do I recognize it?" asked Shen Hui without giving up.

Gu Zhengqin smiled, "I won't tell you, I'll know when I see it!"

Shen Hui snorted, in her previous life, she knew that Gu Zhengqin didn't want to say it, no one could pry his mouth open, and she didn't do useless work, and carefully looked at the surrounding buildings.

Passing through the alleys again, the field of vision gradually widened, not that the two of them went to the wilderness, but that the buildings here were obviously taller than the buildings in the alleys before, and even the courtyard walls were made of red bricks, in order not to block the sunlight of the adjacent buildings, the spacing between the houses was very large, four or five times as wide as the small alleys.

Under an old locust tree at the head of Changlong Alley, two children, one fat and one thin, squatted under the roots of the tree and pulled the ant nest until the last ray of light was also hidden below the horizon.

"Hulu, aren't you going home for dinner? I'm going home for dinner, or my sister-in-law will talk about me again!" said a little chubby dun who stood up and clapped his hands, and said in a rough voice to a little thin man who was half a head shorter than him.

The little thin man raised his head, and his eyes were shining in the dim light, and he looked like a smart child.

"Well, you go back first, I'll come back later!" said the little thin gourd.

Little Fat Dun responded, leaving a sentence, "I'll bring you jujube cake tomorrow!" and quickly rushed into a house.

The little thin man also clapped his hands and stood up, looking at the alley in front of him, he didn't make a sound for a long time, and was about to enter the alley, when his ears suddenly moved, and there was a slight sound of footsteps from a distance, and he looked back at the past, and he couldn't see the face of a person in the night from a distance, and he waited for a while to see the face of a middle-aged man who was gradually clear.

The middle-aged man looked at the child's face in surprise and amusement, obviously he knew the child, and asked with concern: "Hulu, have you eaten, why are you still outside, your brother should be in a hurry!"

The gourd pouted and replied, "My brother works the night shift today!"

The middle-aged man laughed, "Then you have to go home, it's not safe at night, hurry home and play again tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the gourd's arm and walked into the alley together, and the gourd did not struggle.

After the two of them left, if there were still people here, he listened attentively, and he would definitely hear another sound of footsteps not far away.

The middle-aged man has a strong sense of responsibility, and the two families are only a few steps apart, so he still sent the gourd to the door of the house, "Okay, let's go in, uncle also has to go home for dinner, it's been a busy day, I'm tired to death!"

Watching the gourd push the door in, the middle-aged man walked next door.

Less than two minutes after he entered, the door opened again, and the gourd probed to see, and saw that there was no one, so he closed the door behind him, and then, sitting down at the door, silently looking at the mouth of the alley, although he knew that it was unlikely, but he still looked forward to it.

After a while, there were footsteps in the alley again, and the gourd had long lost hope, and continued to look at the ground without raising his head.

"Hulu, why are you outside?" said in a middle-spirited old voice, "Did you know that grandpa was coming back and waited outside?"

I was already hopeless, but I was surprised by this sudden familiar voice, and the straight body was picked up by the old man, and the gourd shouted Grandpa threw himself into the old man's arms.

"Okay, okay, my lord's good grandson doesn't cry, they're all manly, but don't make the little girl so squeamish......" said him, the door slammed shut, and the voices of the two were blocked inside.

At the same time, Shen Hui and Gu Zhengqin shuttled between these houses, which looked like only powerful families in the city, and walked for a full quarter of an hour before stopping in front of a big red iron gate.

"This is it!" Gu Zhengqin said, raising his hand and knocking on the door.

After a while, I heard the voice of a middle-aged woman inside, "Here, here!"

The door opened, and an unexpected familiar face appeared in front of her, and Shen Hui lost her voice and said, "Aunt Xue, why are you here?"

The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded, "This is my house, of course I'm here, okay, let's come in quickly, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later!"

The two nodded and entered the courtyard.

The yard is about the same size as No. 57, but it is not planted with vegetables like No. 57, and the whole yard is paved with bluestone slabs, but there are more than a dozen pots of flowers under the courtyard wall.
