It's like walking in a yellowed old photo, but after the rain, the fragrance of the earth penetrates into Gu Yaluo's nose, which shows that this is real.

"Mrs. Gu, Xiaoluo'er's health is better and she has been discharged from the hospital." Uncle Xiang, who was opening the Iron Gate Medical Hall and preparing to open it, asked happily when he saw their family of four coming back.

"That's right, Uncle Xiang, please show Luo'er again." Lu Jiangdan hurriedly said.

"Then come in and let me hear it." Uncle Xiang pushed the iron gate to the top with a hula.

After washing his hands with soap and drying his hands with a towel, Uncle Xiang said, "Come on, come inside, it's cold outside." ”

Lu Jiangdan pulled Gu Yaluo into it and untied the cover.

Uncle Xiang took the bottom end of the earpiece and rubbed his hands vigorously, so that the child would not be cold all of a sudden.

Gu Yaluo watched him move, but he was careful, no wonder there were five or six people on the bench outside early in the morning.

"Hmmm! There was no murmur in the lungs anymore, but there was still phlegm. I'll give you some more medicine. Uncle Xiang took back the earpiece and said.

"I said it was all right." Gu Yaluo chuckled.

"It's medicine, you take it." Uncle Xiang wrapped the medicine and handed it to Lu Jiang Dandao.

"How much is it, together with the money from the last injection, let's calculate it together!" Lu Jiangdan took out a cloth wallet from his pocket.

After settling the bill, the family of four went up the stairs, Gu Zhanshuo picked up the grass green plain half-cloth curtain, and took out the key to open the door at the end of the house.

The landlady immediately came out and said, "Mrs. Gu is back, yo!" Luo'er is cured. ”

Lu Jiangdan said a little unnaturally, "Yes! Sick and cured. As soon as I saw her, I felt that I couldn't hold the money in this wallet.

"Please come in!" Lu Jiangdan turned sideways and moved out of the way.

The landlady covered her mouth and giggled, "No, no." I also know you don't like to see me. ”

This smile made Lu Jiangdan and the others shudder.

"To get back to the point, Mrs. Gu should pay this rent." The landlady then changed her face and said, "We also live on rent, and I don't open a good church here." ”

"I know, this month's rent is for you." Lu Jiangdan took out the rent from it and handed it to the landlady.

The landlady twisted her stout waist and walked to the middle room, and there was a banging on the door, "Dead boy, it's time to pay the rent." No one responded for a long time, and she was impatient and went crazy on the spot, "The old lady knows that you are inside, and if you don't pay the rent, even if it is the first day of the new year, you will roll up for me and get out!" ”

When I entered the house, I still couldn't stop the roar of Mrs. Fang's rent collection.

Gu Zhanyan muttered in a low voice, "Mom, I'm sure that the landlady's ears are even sleeping, and she jumped out as soon as she heard the movement of us coming back." ”

"How do you talk, you kid!" Lu Jiangdan scolded lightly, and then said, "Shh...... Be quiet, and don't let the landlady hear. ”

Gu Yaluo looked at the new home quietly, about ten square meters.

The floor is paved with red and white floor tiles, diamond-shaped distribution, for a long time, some places are worn badly, and the corners are missing.

There is a double-tiered shelf bed against the wall, and next to it is a high and low cabinet.

Under the large window was a desk with a tin thermos, a lamp, and two teacups. There is also a photo frame showing their family of four.

There are two chairs on the left and right sides of the desk, and under the desk are soda cans that have been picked up and stepped on, all piled up next to the bottom of the desk.

In the middle of the room lay a wooden box with square planks on it, which seemed to be a dining table, and four small stools stacked in the corners.

In this way, the room was very crowded.

Because it's a too, you don't see sunlight, but the iron windows are big enough that the room isn't too dark.

"Luo'er, go to bed and lie down first." Lu Jiangdan placed Gu Yaluo on the bed.

Gu Yaluo lay down on the bed, the bed was a little hard, the quilt was moderately thin, although it was a little old, it was clean and tidy, and it seemed that it was often washed.

Fortunately, the winter temperature here is not too low, and a quilt is enough to keep out the cold.

"Zhanshuo, Zhanyan, you can get some food by yourself, and the chicken porridge is still hot for Luo'er to eat at noon. Take care of my sister, my mother is going to work. After Lu Jiangdan finished speaking, he grabbed the cloth bag and hurried away.

You can get more wages by rushing to work a year ago, so Lu Jiangdan is reluctant to ask for leave or even be late.

"I'll go make porridge, and you accompany Luo'er." After Gu Zhanshuo finished speaking, he left the room and went to the kitchen to make porridge.

Gu Zhanyan lifted the wooden board on the middle box, took out the plastic toys from it, and began to assemble them.

Gu Yaluo looked at the house she lived in, and saw the calendar hanging on the wall, today is the thirtieth day of the lunar month, and Lu Jiangdan still has to work!

They now live in a typical old-style tenement building, made of grey bricks, with a pitched roof of timber and tiles.

The four-storey building is 4 meters high and 5 meters wide. The first floor facing the street is mostly a façade room, with barber shops, medical centers, restaurants, rice shops and so on.

The second to fourth floors are residences, and Gu Yaluo and they live on the second floor.

The so-called tenement buildings mainly refer to those old houses in Xiangjiang that do not have elevators, usually no more than 8 floors, several buildings are connected, but each building has only two units on each floor of the stairs, and some will be designed as several buildings sharing a long internal corridor, like a tube building at the foot of the imperial city.

Due to various reasons such as war, people from the mainland have moved south, which has caused a rapid increase in the population of Xiangjiang, resulting in a shortage of housing. Many tenement buildings are used for subletting, group rentals.

Usually a sublet tenement house will be 'chartered' by one of the tenants.

The tenant pays a fixed monthly rent to the landlord and is also responsible for paying the utility bills.

The tenement flats are then subdivided into rooms, usually at least 'arcade houses' or head houses, which are not only larger in size, but also sunny in size. Then it is divided into the middle room, the tail room, by the wooden partition; In many cases, for the sake of rent, even the kitchen or toilet is rented out.

The unit where Gu Yaluo lives is more than 100 square meters, which is divided into four suites. The kitchen and bathroom are shared by everyone.

In short, it is very crowded and there are many hidden dangers, especially in the event of a fire.

However, because the rent is cheap, it is the first choice of the people at the bottom, and before the hidden danger occurs, people selectively ignore it.

Since we have survived, we must first change the status quo.

Compared with the more turbulent 60s, the 70 years of the current Xiangjiang happen to be a rebound of that turbulent years, a watershed between the old and the new, and many changes have been brewing and taking place. It signified the determination of the British government to transform the city from a colony into a native society, and the 70s marked the birth of the Heung Kong society, which was very different from the exuberant 80s, especially the 90s, because many of the original things had not yet been erased.

At this time, the financial industry was just emerging, economic development could still bring the happiness of a well-off family instead of a monopoly, life was still civilian rather than commoditized, popular culture was still equal to popular culture rather than packaged high-end consumption, and large tracts of land were still verdant.

In the 70s, Xiangjiang was truly a paradise for dreamers. As long as you work hard, you can succeed, such a Hollywood-style dream is also a portrayal of Xiangjiang now.

At that time, Xiangjiang took the opportunity of the global economic take-off, and the country was in a state of turmoil and closure.

It's hard not to soar to the sky!

In her thoughts, Gu Yaluo fell asleep in a daze. Before going to bed, I thought that this body was too weak, and to improve my life, I had to start by improving my body.

When he woke up, he was woken up by the sound of the brothers.

"Big brother, let's go, come with me to pick up soda cans." Gu Zhanyan said in a low voice.

"No! Mom let me look at Luo'er, you go! I'm gluing a cardboard box at home. Gu Zhanshuo took out the carton and began to dry.

After breakfast, the two brothers quarreled over going out to pick up soda cans, mainly because they were gone, and who would take care of their sister.

"That's a pity! It's almost the New Year, and there are many soda cans. Gu Zhanyan said painfully.

"Go! I'm fine. Gu Yaluo opened her eyes and said.

"No, you're not sick yet, I promise my mother to take care of you." Gu Zhanshuo shook his head and said.

"Go ahead! I'm at home, and I'm not going to move around. Gu Yaluo said again.

"Big brother, come with me! Don't pick up a few more soda cans, how will we have a big meal tomorrow. Gu Zhanyan quickly put away the things in his hand, and took the two of them's covers and snakeskin bags in a posture of preparing to go out.

"Luo'er, you have to be obedient, we will be back at noon." Gu Zhanyan pulled Gu Zhanshuo out of the aisle.

"Wait a minute." Gu Zhanshuo turned around and looked at her lying on the bed and said, "Luo'er, you promise not to walk around." ”

Gu Yaluo raised her eyebrows lightly and said with a smile, "I promise." ”

"Luo'er doesn't run around, my brother will buy you pineapple buns at noon." Gu Zhanshuo promised.

Gu Zhanshuo's was pulled out by Gu Zhanyan and the door was closed.

Gu Yaluo looked at the back of the brothers leaving, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Pedaling ...... The sound of the brothers going downstairs was very heavy, and it was very good to her ears.

Gu Yaluo lay on the bed, pursed her dry lips, and tried to speak slowly, "Brother...... Brother...... Brother! ”

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

"By the way, and Mom!" She reverently opened her mouth and tried to exclaim, "Mom...... Mother! ”

At first, the voice was stiff and dry, even a little resistant, without emotion, and after chewing it in his mouth a few times, it slipped away, and the corners of his mouth showed a happy smile.

Ah Jiu also has a family, not only a mother but also two older brothers.

The reason for being an orphan is that she never dared to hope extravagantly, because without hope, she would not be disappointed.

Mom is no longer a noun, she can see and touch it. A warmth that rose from the bottom of her heart surrounded her and overwhelmed her.
