The next day, Mrs. Wu and Xu Ming were ready to go back to the old house to have a look. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Xu Ming didn't talk much along the way, and only asked Mrs. Wu: "If I want this house, will you come back with me to live with me after it is completed?" ”

Mrs. Wu smiled and didn't answer, she felt that this question really couldn't be answered at the moment. Could it be that Xu Ming didn't mind that he had lived there with another man at all? Although it may be unrecognizable after being renovated, when the two of them live together, won't he think about her and Wuda's past? They used to be in love with each other and obsessed with each other. Even if she thought about it, she couldn't help but be irritable, he could handle it so safely?

The road was still the same road, as always, and they couldn't move forward halfway through the car, so they had to get out of the car and walk. Xu Ming held Mrs. Wu's hand tightly and walked forward step by step. The last time I came back to the village chief to open a certificate, I walked the same way, but Mrs. Wu never felt so nervous. At that time, she was determined to prove her innocence, and she didn't take the old house to heart. I didn't even bother to look at it and spared it.

But this time, she felt that every step was like a mountain. I wonder if the pomegranate tree in front of the door is hanging pomegranate this year? Is the dust on the stone bench next to it thick? What will she face when she opens that heavy door? It's been three years, and no one has taken care of it for three years, will the house be long gone?

Xu Ming just shook her hand tightly and nodded to the people who were busy building the road along the way. Although most of them were familiar villagers, Mrs. Wu didn't recognize anyone. Her eyes and heart are not here.

"If, I mean, if I wasn't with Wuda, if I didn't have these pasts, would you love me more, and would we be happier?" Mrs. Wu pulled out Xu Ming's tightly clenched hand, and her palms were full of beads of sweat. She rubbed lightly against her beige trench coat to hide her anxiety.

"You are you, and since I love you, I love all of you." Xu Ming grabbed Mrs. Wu's hand and continued to hold her.

Why, even Wuda himself can forgive, but he is so obsessed with this house? The closer I got, the more depressed I became. It's like the helplessness and depression of being robbed because I didn't grasp it and scattered it all under the tree because I didn't grasp it.

It seemed that after a while, Mrs. Wu was led by Xu Ming to the dirt slope in front of the door, and from here, you could see the well guardrail and pomegranate trees not far from the door. There were no pomegranates on the trees, and most of the leaves had already fallen, and they looked depressed.

"This pomegranate tree, the stone bench and this well are all left behind, and the surrounding dirt slopes will all be paved with stone roads, do you have any opinions?" Xu Ming asked with a chuckle.

"Well, if you like it."

"This slope will have stone steps and the area will be expanded. And this well......"

"Xu Ming, I think I still won't watch it, I'll go back first, I didn't bring the key." Mrs. Wu interrupted Xu Ming with some nervousness.

"No, my sister-in-law has already handed me the key, take a look, it's all at the door."

Madame Wu glanced at the gray-black and dilapidated gate and the rusty latch on the door, wondering if the lock, which looked rusty, could be opened.

"Here, the key is for you." Xu Ming took out the key from the pocket of his windbreaker and handed it to Mrs. Wu, with the red silk thread still tied on it. It was cut from the corsage worn by the two of them when Mrs. Wu and Wu Da got married. Mrs. Wu tied a concentric knot and hung it on the key.

When she first got married, she and Wu Da each had a hand, and they both tied the same silk thread, but later Wu Da accidentally lost her own one after going out to work. At that time, Wu Da complained about his carelessness, and Mrs. Wu also enlightened Wu Da and said: "What's the big deal, let's just use a key, anyway, I will always be waiting for you at home." ”

Mrs. Wu took the key and walked to the door. With a "snap", the lock opened effortlessly. Maybe it's because Mrs. Wu took good care of it before, right? At that time, she would carefully polish the crumbs of her pencil every week and carefully pour them into the lock. Before leaving, she also tied two layers of plastic bags to the lock to prevent the wind and rain from corroding the lock.

At that time, she thought that it would only be a New Year, and at most a few months, she would come back. At that time, she thought she had a Wuda child in her belly. It's just that I didn't expect that it has been three years since I left.

As the door creaked open, the dust and sawdust that had accumulated on the door fell for a long time, almost narrowing Mrs. Wu's eyes. Although Xu Ming was carefully guarding with his hands on the side, some crumbs floated into her eyes. His eyes turned red in an instant.

Xu Ming carefully patted the crumbs that fell on Mrs. Wu's shoulders and helped her straighten the buttons of her windbreaker. hugged her shoulders tightly and said with a smile: "Good start." ”

Mrs. Wu was amused by Xu Ming's pun, and she couldn't stop crying. The fence in the courtyard is still the same, and the crimson motorcycle covered with plastic sheeting is still under the eaves. It's just that the red brick ground is overgrown with weeds because it has been unmanaged for a long time, and this grass has already become large-scale after three years of four seasons. One by one, they fell on the brick floor, and they couldn't see the red bricks for a long time.

"The courtyard will be widened, and the stone walls will be pushed back to be rebuilt, and it will be shorter than it is now. The ground will also be paved with stone pavement, but not all, only partially, and most of the rest will be dug up with red bricks and transplanted with some cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant plants. Do you have any good recommendations? Xu Ming asked with a smile. All the way, he always smiled softly like this.

"It's good to plant something that is cheap and easy to feed." Mrs. Wu said.

"Well, the house will be kept, but the roof will be made of thatched. The inner pattern will also change. There is no room left in the ear room of this thing. Let's go in and see if you have any old furniture you want to leave behind. I meant to replace it all. The old one, the uniform style. ”

No, the furniture in this room is very messy, there are eight immortal tables left by parents-in-law, as well as glass coffee tables and gray sofas that Mrs. Wu and Wu Da brought back from the furniture store in the town.

The door to the house was pinned with a slender iron rod and was not locked. Mrs. Wu has never locked the door of the house, because she has always felt that every household in the village knows the roots, and even if a thief comes, he will not steal her house. Her family simply had nothing to steal.

The door of the house was pushed open, and a damp musty smell hit her face, choking Mrs. Wu's eyes. When she got used to the darkness in the room, she opened her eyes, and the pictures of memories came flooding back.

Wuda was drunk on the night of her wedding, holding her dead and refusing to let go; When Wang's mother came to the house for the first time, she disliked that the ground in the house was too slippery and asked Wuda to find a way to grind it into cement; Every time Wuda went to help the people in the village keep accounts, he would always bring back a handful of melon seeds and candy and put them in the fruit bowl on the square table at the door; Every winter, Wuda likes to bake two sweet potatoes behind the stove, the big one for her and the small one for him; In the summer, the roof occasionally leaked, so Mrs. Wu and Wu Da put a bucket in the house to collect the rainwater.

Now, due to the long period of uninhabited, there is a thick layer of mold on the walls, floors and even on the tabletop. The room was so gray and black that you couldn't see the colorful colors on the faces of the lovers who had lived in it. Even the frames on the photo wall, which were once the most conspicuous, have become black.

Some of the photos can't see the faces in the photos, some can't see the clothes of the people in the photos, and some don't even have the color, only a dark yellow photo paper remains.

"Why not tear down the house and rebuild it? The house is low, and it is always very humid in the summer, and everything will be moldy, so it is difficult to clean. Who would want to live in such a damp house? Mrs. Wu whispered.

Xu Ming pinched Mrs. Wu's shoulder harder, "The cost of pushing down is too high, and it is difficult to obtain this kind of stone now, if the old stone is like that, it will not be able to be used, it will be too wasteful." We'll keep it out of moisture and heightened, and we'll enlarge the windows, and we'll install underfloor heating and ventilation so that the house doesn't get too wet. ”

In addition, a new layer of insulation material will be added to the inside of the wall, which is both thermal insulation and fireproof, and has a certain moisture-proof effect. This way it is not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer, and it is minimally avoided. ”

"It's just that the doors of this room will all be torn down and replaced with antique curtains, the kind made of bamboo. It's just that the color of the bamboo weaving and the edging material have not been decided, and I hope you can give me advice when the time comes. ”

Xu Ming gushed endlessly, he didn't want to give Mrs. Wu too much time to think. He didn't know why, originally, his original intention was to let her think quietly here alone, and say a formal goodbye to the past. Maybe it's because what I'm seeing in front of me is completely different from what I've seen before.

It was all dim and dirty, not at all what he had imagined. He thought that although it would be dusty because no one had cleaned it for a long time, it would not be dilapidated. After all, the place in his memory is still full of sunshine and beauty. Although the snowy night is long, it has become less lonely and lonely because of the company of his wife.

"Why don't you replace the curtain with coarse linen. In the past, the curtain of this room was coarse linen, but later it was replaced with a wooden door because of the ventilation in winter. As for the color matching, it depends on the basic tone after the modification. Madame Wu opened her mouth faintly. There was a lot more in that voice that he had first met her. Calm and calm, but also a little playful.

"There's nothing I want for here, you can take care of it. There's still a lot of your stuff in the east room, don't you want to take a look? ”

"Also, if you really want to repair the roof, you must do a good job of waterproofing, because there is a lot of rain here. Also, don't you always want to use the toilet in the samurai village? Just find a way to press one. ”

Mrs. Wu lightly put forward her opinion, because she knew the house and Xu Ming, her opinion would never be wrong.

"Okay." Xu Ming chuckled.

"Well, there's more." Mrs. Wu was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Call Wu Da to come back and have a look, and ask if he still has anything he wants?" ”

His clothes were still neatly placed in the cabinet, and she carefully folded them and wrapped them in a plastic bag before leaving, so they would definitely not be moldy...... Mrs. Wu swallowed this sentence into her stomach.
