Chapter 3: The Courtyard of Memory
In the next two classes, Meng Yufei was seriously flipping through the textbook, chatting with Du Yuexin after class, but she also felt that time passed very quickly.
After the death of her parents in her previous life, Meng Yufei's personality changed, she was no longer cheerful, withdrawn and inferior.
I didn't make any friends to talk about in high school and college, except for him, thinking of that person, Meng Yufei was in a trance......
Among the junior high school classmates, Du Yuexin also had contact with Du Yuexin, and Du Yuexin had informed her of several gatherings organized by her middle school classmates, but she had not attended once, and many of her classmates didn't remember what they were called now.
After reading the book, I looked at the classmates who got off work by the way, after looking at the faces one by one, Meng Yufei's heart was a little empty, the girl in the front row by the door was called Zhu Pingyu, this was a classmate who impressed her very much in middle school, she was thin and small, but lively and active, and I don't know who gave her a nickname called Monkey among the boys, but then the whole class called up, and she was anxious with you as soon as she called her nickname, and then it didn't matter if she got used to it, her tablemate was called Yang Chunxue, and then what was the name of the boy in the back? And then there's ......
There are 47 classmates in the class, Meng Yufei can only remember what to call more than 10 people, and about 30 can't be named.
There is also an evening self-study after school, and the current evening self-study teacher is no longer here, but the student council will come to check the learning discipline of each class in the evening, and the discipline is responsible for the class leader and study committee members of each class. Meng Yufei was in a hurry to go home, and told Du Yuexin that she would not be able to study on her own next night, so she wrote a fake note and threw it to the squad leader Wang Xinliang, and ran out of the classroom to her mother's office.
walked to my mother's office and looked at the door, Li Aiqin was not there, my mother was packing her things, and it seemed that she could go home directly after a while. A female teacher opposite sat at the desk and was busy, probably correcting the students' homework, Meng Yufei couldn't remember what she was teaching, this teacher had never taught her class, she didn't have any impression, knocked on the door, and shouted crisply: "Report"
"Come in, why are all my schoolbags on my back, and I can't study at night?" Yuan Xiumei glanced at Meng Yufei and continued to pack her things.
The teacher over there glanced up at Meng Yufei, knowing that it was Teacher Yuan's daughter, and smiled and lowered his head to get busy with the work in hand.
"Mom, I'm a little uncomfortable and want to go home with you." Knowing that her mother didn't like her to take leave for no reason, Meng Yufei had to tell a little lie.
"What's wrong? What's uncomfortable, isn't it okay in the afternoon? Yuan Xiumei stopped and asked suspiciously.
"I just feel a little headache, maybe it was too late to read last night, and it will be fine when I go home and lie down." Meng Yufei has been in good health since she was a child, rarely has a cold or anything, but she has a headache, as long as she doesn't sleep well, she will occasionally have a headache the next day, but it is not serious, she also went to a big hospital in her previous life to check it well, it is a vascular headache, mainly because of poor rest, usually caused by too much work pressure, and it cannot be cured, just take some medicine or sleep when it hurts. This is inherited from my mother, and my mother also has this problem.
Yuan Xiumei put the students' homework neatly, picked up the bag hanging on the back of the chair, and said to the teacher on the side: "Teacher Lin, what about changing the homework?" I'll go first. ”
"Well, okay, I'll finish it right away, just go, you guys slow down." Teacher Lin waved at Yuan Xiumei.
Meng Yufei's home is not far from the school, and it is only a 15-minute walk, and the streets she passes through are basically bungalows, but Meng Yufei knows that after the Spring Festival this year, the neighborhood will be demolished one after another, and all buildings will be built to form a large-scale living area.
The footsteps of the mother and daughter were not fast, Yuan Xiumei asked Meng Yufei softly about her studies, passed by the cake shop, and bought Meng Yufei her favorite sweets.
Turning into an alley, the second gate is the home where Meng Yufei now lives, Meng Yufei's mother and grandmother both like flowers, the open space on both sides of the gate, other people's homes basically grow vegetables, only their families plant flowers, and neighbors like to gather at their doorstep at night.
Meng Yufei and her mother entered the house, and first went to grandma's house to take a look, grandma was not at home, it is estimated that she went to the neighbor's house to chat, and her father will not get off work until a while, Yuan Xiumei went to prepare to cook, and asked Meng Yufei to go back to the house to lie down first.
Meng Yufei put the schoolbag on the table, lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and memories came flooding back.
Meng Yufei's father is called Meng Huadong, four brothers, and his grandfather named his four children at that time, namely the pillars of the country, the eldest Meng Huaguo, and his wife both work in the textile factory in the town, and they are double workers. The second eldest Meng Huazhi, when he was very young, had a cold and high fever that did not go away, and the medical level at that time was not high, and finally he lost his breath. The third child, Meng Huadong, is Meng Yufei's father, and now works in the town's government office. Meng Hualiang, the fourth child, opened a small store, and his life was quite prosperous, but he married a rude daughter-in-law, and he always liked to instigate trouble.
Meng Yufei's grandfather died when she was 2 years old, so there is no memory of her grandfather in her childhood.
It is said that my grandfather's family was a landlord at that time, but later most of the family's property was confiscated, leaving a small amount of property and this large courtyard.
When Meng Yufei was young, the uncle Meng Huaguo and the fourth uncle Meng Hualiang's family lived together in this courtyard, and later the uncle and the fourth uncle wanted to separate and go out to build another house. Meng Yufei's father, Meng Huadong, is a filial son, and he didn't go out to set up another door by himself to take care of his grandmother.
When Meng Yufei was 11 years old, her father and grandmother discussed and demolished the old house and rebuilt the current house.
The main house of this house is three north rooms, with bedrooms on the left and right, dad and mom on the left, grandma on the right, and the living room in the middle.
There are two rooms on the east side, one is Meng Yufei's bedroom, and the other is a study, and the study has two doors, which are connected to Meng Yufei and her parents' bedrooms.
There are three rooms on the west side, which are the bedroom, dining room, and kitchen, and the bedroom is usually unoccupied, and the family will only live with relatives occasionally.
There was a shower and toilet on the south side.
Because the yard is large, the remaining vacant land is full of flowers for grandma and mother in the east, and the west and south are separated by nearly all the vegetables in the kitchen, and their vegetables are basically not bought in summer and autumn, and they can't eat all the seeds alone, Meng Yufei often picks a cucumber and rubs the thorns on the cucumber to eat without washing, anyway, she never uses pesticides to grow at home.
The home is very spacious, Meng Yufei remembers that in her previous life, when the family was demolished, she compensated for 4 suites, 2 sets of more than 110 square meters, 2 sets of more than 80 square meters, and the yards of the uncle and the fourth uncle were also demolished out of three suites each.
At that time, Meng Yufei's father was no longer there, and the daughter-in-law of the fourth Meng Hualiang, that is, Meng Yufei's little sister-in-law, was red when she saw their mother's three and four houses, and instigated Meng Yufei's eldest mother to come to her grandmother every day to make trouble, saying that the house could not be given to the third family, and the property must be divided equally.
When Dad was there, he didn't separate from Grandma, and the deed was still Grandma's, and their reason was that the old man's property was their share.
Once it was too noisy, the little sister-in-law was scolding the street, and the eldest lady also said that the old lady was eccentric, and she was so angry that her grandmother had a cerebral hemorrhage and left before she was sent to the hospital.
After grandma left, no matter what the reason, the eldest mother didn't mention the equal division of property anyway. But the little sister-in-law still made trouble with Meng Yufei's mother Yuan Xiumei every day, and finally the uncle was so angry that she beat the little sister-in-law on the spot, which ended the farce. But in the end, Yuan Xiumei left without living in a new house.
As soon as Meng Yufei graduated from high school, he sold 3 of his family's 4 houses, leaving only 1 as his own nest, and then returned the money that his mother had borrowed from his mother's family when his father had an accident, and stayed away from this sad city and went to an architectural school in the south to study interior design.
Now the deed is still grandma's, Meng Yufei remembers that it seems that grandma said that she wanted to give it to her father before, but her father didn't ask for it at that time, saying that she would put grandma there, Meng Yufei knew that this area would start to be demolished next year, and this time she had to find a way to make the little sister-in-law not make such a fuss, so that grandma couldn't stand the stimulation and had an accident when she couldn't stand it.
Just what should I do? Ask grandma to transfer the deed to dad? Is this the case, and then the little sister-in-law will have no reason to ask for the division of the property? Meng Yufei closed her eyes and thought, she actually fell asleep in a daze in the room she hadn't seen for a long time.
