This is a remote courtyard, there is an iron lock hanging on the broken wooden door, it seems that because no one has been here for a long time, the iron lock has begun to rust, Zuo Hongxia took out the key on her body and opened it for a long time before opening it.

"What's going on?" Shi Yuan pointed to a big word on the door painted with white lime and asked Zuo Hongxia. Zuo Hongxia was stunned, she didn't even find out just now, is this place going to be demolished? Why didn't she hear about it, shook her head, and the two of them were full of questions.

Shi Yuan slowly pushed open the courtyard door and looked inside, this is a very traditional Chinese farmhouse courtyard, with three upper rooms and a small kitchen below, all of which are blue tile houses with one water. The old-fashioned yard is very long, and it is two more than the small yard rented by Ni Jingjing.

"I used to live here with my brother and my mother, but then my brother went to college and I also worked, and I rarely came back, so my mother lived here alone. Now, my mom is gone, and the yard is empty. Zuo Hongxia looked at the wild grass in the yard, and her eyes were already a little moist.

"Let's go, show me your room." Shi Yuan saw that Zuo Hongxia was a little sad, grabbed her thin waist, and said softly.

"Yes." Zuo Hongxia wiped her eyes, nodded and walked in.

"My brother lives in the Westinghouse, and my mother and I live in the Eastinghouse." Zuo Hongxia pushed open the door of the main house.

Generally, most of the small farmhouse courtyards are the same, the three upper rooms have two doors, the west house is alone, the east house and the main house are connected, the main house is used for the living room, and the east house is used for the bedroom.

Shi Yuan followed Zuo Hongxia into the main room, and saw two photo frames on the table in the middle of the room, a man and a woman, the woman looked very imaginary with Zuo Hongxia and Su Rou, but she was a little older, and there were some crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. Looks like this is their parents.

"This is my mom and dad." Zuo Hongxia's eyes were red again.

Shi Yuan was silent, just gently held Zuo Hongxia in his arms with his arms. This is a lonely girl who is willing to give everything she has for her mother, but she let herself fall into the devil's cave, and in the end she still failed to save her mother's life. There is no greater sorrow in the world than this.

"I'll show you my room." Zuo Hongxia stopped her sadness, came out of Shi Yuan's arms and said with a forced smile.

Shi Yuan nodded and followed Zuo Hongxia into the east house, the east house is not big, but there are two old-fashioned wooden beds, which seems to be even narrower. What is amazing is the big wooden bed placed against the wall on the west side, I don't know what kind of wood it is made of, it is antique, and it looks like it is some years old.

"This is my bed, when I was a child, I slept in this bed with my sister, and played on it every day, but then my sister disappeared and it became my own." Zuo Hongxia walked to the side of the bed and sat down, her words revealing infinite sadness.

Shi Yuan also sat down next to Zuo Hongxia gently, looking at this old bed that was a little old, but what he imagined in his heart was Su Rou and Zuo Hongxia playing on it.

"It's far away." Zuo Hongxia said softly.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yuan raised his head and met Zuo Hongxia's affectionate gaze.

"Shi Yuan, I have no one else to rely on in the future, can I rely on you?"

Damn, this is going to force the palace? Shi Yuan suddenly trembled in his heart. wanted to find an excuse to prevaricate in the past, but Zuo Hongxia didn't give him a chance to escape at all, and her two eyes stared at his eyes fiercely.

"This, Xiaoxia, in fact, I have something I have wanted to say to you for a long time." Shi Yuan's heart was crossed, some things were better said earlier, otherwise in the future, maybe the damage to Zuo Hongxia would be deeper, and it would also affect the relationship between her and Su Rou's sisters.

Zuo Hongxia listened to his words, but her face turned red all of a sudden, and she lowered her head shyly: "Just say what you have, I'll listen." ”

Shi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Zuo Hongxia had misunderstood what she meant, and her feelings were to confess to her as if she wanted to confess to her? Looking at her delicate appearance, Shi Yuan really didn't know how to speak.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock at the door of the courtyard, although the two tuk tuk were not too loud, but Shi Yuan hurriedly pushed Zuo Hongxia as if he was looking forward to a savior: "Someone is coming outside." ”

Zuo Hongxia ignored the knock on the door and whispered, "You say it first, and then I'll see who it is when I'm done." ”

Shi Yuan had a black line, and hurriedly said, "Open the door first, don't let people wait outside." ”

Zuo Hongxia glared at him helplessly, then stood up and walked out of the room, Shi Yuan let out a sigh.

Looking out of the window, Zuo Hongxia opened the courtyard door, an old lady stood there, and when she saw that it was Zuo Hongxia who opened the door, she smiled and said: "It's Xiaoxia who is back, I see that the door is open, and I'm afraid that a thief is coming, so I'll come and take a look." ”

Zuo Hongxia immediately hated this old lady to death, it's okay for you to come and see, and you are so unpicky. But he had to say with a smile on his face: "Aunt Zhang, thank you, I want to come back and see if I have nothing to do today, which makes you worried." ”

The old lady said with a smile on her face: "Xiaoxia, when your mother was still there, our old sisters often chatted together, your mother always said that she has supported two daughters and a child in her life, your sister has been missing since she was a child, and you are the most distressed by her, looking forward to you bringing a boyfriend home all day long." ”

Zuo Hongxia's face was pink, and she said, "Auntie, I'm still ...... young."

The old lady smiled and said, "Xiaoxia, in fact, you are not too young, your mother and I were as old as you at that time, and we have been holding your sisters every day to breastfeed." ”

Zuo Hongxia was even more shy and said, "Aunt Zhang, it's different now." ”

Aunt Zhang wrenched her face and said, "Xiaoxia, I know that the present is different from the past, but no matter what time it is, we women always want to marry and raise a baby, right?" If you want to give birth, you will be born early, and if you are born late, you will not be able to recover. ”

Zuo Hongxia can't even raise her head, where is this, it's all about having children before she gets married.

Aunt Zhang didn't care if she liked to listen to it or not, and walked towards the courtyard while talking: "Xiaoxia, I heard that you teach in the city?" ”

Zuo Hongxia didn't want her to come in, but the person had already come in, so she had to follow behind and say, "Aunt Zhang, there is chaos in the house, I'll move a stool for you and let's sit outside." So saying, he ran back to the main house and moved two stools and put them in the yard.

Aunt Zhang really wanted to enter the house, but Zuo Hongxia had already put the stool, so she had to sit down, took Zuo Hongxia's hand and said, "Xiaoxia, you are not too young, and it is time to find a partner." ”

Zuo Hongxia blushed and said, "Aunt Zhang, I'm still young, and I don't want to think about it yet." ”

Aunt Zhang said lovingly: "What is small, now take advantage of your youth and beauty to find a suitable person to marry, and you don't have to worry about your mother underground." Otherwise, you have to provide for Honglei to go to school alone, you can't afford this burden alone, you have to find someone to help you. ”

Shi Yuan, who was sitting in the room eavesdropping, was moved, and then he thought that Zuo Hongxia and Su Rou also had a younger brother studying in college, and his living expenses and tuition fees would undoubtedly fall on Zuo Hongxia. He had never thought about this question before, it seems that Zuo Hongxia is really difficult!

Aunt Zhang saw that Zuo Hongxia didn't speak, and thought that she agreed with her statement, so she went down and said: "Xiaoxia, I have a nephew in my family, who is about the same age as you, who works in the Urban Construction Bureau, and has already become a deputy section chief at a young age......

When Zuo Hongxia heard this, she couldn't help but glance into the house, where her beloved was sitting, but someone outside the house introduced her boyfriend, isn't this a big joke? She was even worried about whether Shi Yuan would get angry when she heard it.

Shi Yuan laughed dumbly, this old lady said for a long time, it turned out that she was a matchmaker for her nephew! Although Shi Yuan didn't dare to accept Zuo Hongxia's feelings, he couldn't say that he had no disagreement with her. At this moment, when I heard the idea that someone was going to fight Zuo Hongxia, I was still a little uncomfortable.

"Aunt Zhang, let's talk about this matter later, my mother's bones are not cold, and I don't want to think about this matter yet." Zuo Hongxia found a suitable reason to reject the old lady's kindness.

Aunt Zhang didn't expect Zuo Hongxia to use this reason to prevaricate her, but she didn't have any reason to say anything, just sighed and said, "This kid, then when you think about it, tell Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhang will help you pull the strings." ”

Zuo Hongxia nodded and said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang." ”

Aunt Zhang's purpose today was not achieved, and she was not interested in sitting here anymore, so she stood up stupidly to leave, Zuo Hongxia hurriedly stood up and saw her off. When she walked to the gate of the courtyard, the old lady stopped again, turned her head and said to Zuo Hongxia: "By the way, Xiaoxia, there is another thing I almost forgot, we are going to demolish this area recently, do you know about this?" ”

Zuo Hongxia then remembered the big word dismantling that she saw on the door when the two of them came in, so she hurriedly asked: "Aunt Zhang, I was about to ask you, I saw this word dismantling when I came back just now, what's going on?" ”

Aunt Zhang sighed and said: "We have been favored by the developer here, and we need to requisition it for commercial housing development, and our old yards need to be demolished." ”

"Demolition? Demolition is a good thing, haven't you always been worried about Xiaojun's marriage? If this is demolished, won't there be new buildings to live in? Then Xiaojun's marriage will not be a problem. Zuo Hongxia knew that Aunt Zhang's son Xiaojun talked about several objects, all of which were blown because there was no house at home. If this is a demolition, at least the same area of the house will be replaced. And the yard of Aunt Zhang's house is so big that it is enough to get a few big houses.

Who knew that Aunt Zhang was even more angry when she mentioned this, and sighed directly: "Alas! Xiaoxia, don't you know, these developers are a bunch of beasts, where are they expropriating land, they are just a bunch of bandits, they are robbing! ”

Zuo Hongxia and Shi Yuan in the house were stunned when they heard this, what the hell is going on?
