Winters in Shanghai rarely snow, and on the coldest days of the year, the sky turns from rain to ice foam. In such weather, it is difficult for the residents living in the shantytowns.

The rental business of Shikumen houses has become lively, especially this year, and it has reached the point where it is difficult to find a house.

In Huangpu District, Luwan District and Jing'an District, there are countless old and new alleys of all sizes, and the import of alleys is usually made into colorful archway styles.

Walking into a wide street of cements, you will be flanked by two- or three-story shikumen houses, the gates are closed by high walls, and the arched portico is made of stone, and the center is inlaid with a solid wooden gate with black lacquer.

The brick carved blue tile roof door, the details of the exterior wall are carved and carved by Western architecture. A mix of East and West.

The wooden door is equipped with a copper knocker, and if you pick up the copper ring and hit it, it will make a crisp knocking sound. In this era, copper is still a kind of wealth, and you can pick it off and buy hot buns directly.

The broker who was in the house rental business greeted him warmly, pushed open the door, and walked into a shiku gatehouse, followed by a family of house watchers, male workers, female workers, a pair of young children, and a grandmother with half-gray hair and neat movements.

Entering the door is a patio, there are wings on the left and right, through the hall of the main house, and then go out, there is a patio behind, the main building and the wing room are two-and-a-half-story structure, the kitchen is above the pavilion, and the pavilion is above the sundeck.

The wooden staircase is still new, and there is almost no sound when walking around.

The broker naturally spoke in a frenzy. The male and female workers listened with a smile, and the husband and wife looked at each other and nodded at the broker:

"We're done."

The broker was still skillfully introducing the various benefits of the house, and suddenly stopped in amazement, touching his head and smiling embarrassedly. That's natural, it used to be talked about endlessly, but now it's always stopped at the beginning.

The tenant of this household was very neat, signed and paid the money, and moved in the next day.

Shikumen are all closed structures, although in the downtown area, but there is still a little bit of high walls and deep courtyards, the benefits of quiet in the middle of the noisy. In the past, those who could live in such houses were Chinese gentlemen or businessmen.

However, Shanghainese people are the best at "making a dojo in the shell of a snail lion", good at using space, living meticulously, a Shiku gatehouse, divided into several households to share, that is, ordinary petty bourgeois families can also enjoy.

The house they rented was already occupied by five families.

The female neighbor who lived in the west wing permed the fashionable Ace head and came to visit with a hint of curiosity, and inquired about the new tenant's family surnamed Ye.

Estou's female neighbor called:

"Mrs. Ye".

The female worker was a little stunned when she heard this, she stretched out her two hands, and swayed her palms wildly, trying to correct them, but suddenly she couldn't find the right words.

It's not the first time I've heard it these days, when I'm called a wife, when I'm tailoring, and when I'm going to a restaurant. But it's still a little weird and embarrassing. She and her child's father used to be servants, but later recruited workers into Ping An Pharmaceutical Factory, and they are just the most ordinary workers.

"This main house has to cost sixteen yuan, right?" The female neighbor with the fashionable Ace head is very familiar with the housing prices.

"We paid nineteen yuan, and now the house is hard to find." The female worker rubbed her hands a little embarrassed, now the house is really hard to find, this building is rare to be satisfied.

"It's expensive, Mrs. Ye's family can't look down on this little money, and those brokers are used to watching people put out dishes." The female neighbor of Ace Tou glanced up and down at the female worker, and tasted the net worth of the new neighbor in her heart.

"We don't have that, that, we have to find a family to share the nineteen yuan." The female worker waved her hand, indicating that she was not the kind of person who did not need to count money.

"Our family originally looked at the main house, but we just wanted to find the right temper, and it was a little difficult for someone to share the rent." Estou's female neighbor expressed a little opinion, saying that according to their own family's net worth, it was wronged to live in a wing room.

"It's not difficult to find our family, and there are many people who know each other." Female workers breathed a sigh of relief, the apportionment is simple, and there are many dual-income families with the same conditions as their own families. Just pick a household that is pleasing to the eye.

There was a reprimand from the grandmother in the kitchen, and the female worker embarrassedly complained to the female neighbor of Ace and turned back to the door to deal with it.

The new home has bright lights and running water. The little boy of the family was seven years old, the most naughty age, he carried a small stool, and kept playing the game of turning on and off the lights and turning on and off the faucet.

Grandma was the most unseemly wasteful, seeing that the little boy's snow-white woolen scarf was wet, and spending so much water, she pulled his arm, and scolded and spun around the kitchen, trying to find tools for a little spanking punishment.

The man of the house walked in with the family's three-year-old little girl wearing a hat with a ball of thread on her head and a plush ball the size of an egg on the hat.

The man walked to the porch, turned on the light with a snap, and turned it off with a snap, teasing his beloved little girl. The mouth said:

"Turn on the lights, turn off the lights, you're not afraid of the dark."

The grandmother and the female worker were all made crying and laughing by the father of the children in the family, and they were in a happy mood. It's hard for them to imagine living in a house with electric lights and running water, and a chicken stewed in a pot in the kitchen. What happier days in the world could there be?

The three-year-old girl was placed on a large chair by her father, and she looked up at the roof with a pair of dark watery eyes. The roof is sloping and opens with a glass-encrusted dormer window.

It was already dark, the rain had already stopped, and Xiao Nannan saw a few stars in the sky blinking through the side window of the Shikumen house.

There was one of the brightest stars, which sent a little starlight to Xiao Nannan's eyes, opening the wisdom of the beginning of her life, which was her earliest memory.

Years later, a reporter interviewed her:

"As we all know, you come from a wealthy middle-class family, but your books are full of trivial things about the lives of ordinary people in the old days, why is that?"

The female writer's gaze became foggy:

"In fact, when I was a child, I lived the life of ordinary people, unlike now, everyone's space is so large, but the soul is more empty, and I always pay attention to too many things that have nothing to do with the essence of happiness."

The reporter took this sentence and asked a very sharp question:

"So, many people think that global industrialization is an extremely evil conspiracy, and that the small-scale peasant lifestyle of men and women is the most ideal, what do you think of this theory?"

"Of course, I also see it this way, men plough and women weave, small peasant economy, that is the ideal country I yearn for the most."

The female writer ended her XX Literature Award winning press conference, took her private jet, and flew to her home in Australia, she was really a little tired, and she needed to do a full-body beauty treatment. Ping An Academy of Sciences has made new achievements in the research on the replacement of new skin cells.
