Chapter 145: Zhang's Courtyard
There is a small locust tree in the courtyard, under the locust tree is a rattan chair and a table made of stones, an old man wearing a small vest drinking tea while listening to the Peking Opera on the radio, squinting at it, playing with two iron walnuts in his hand, nodding and continuing to close his eyes to enjoy the coolness of the evening,
"Tell you, this is my chassis, if you don't obey, I'll kick you out."
"I'm afraid of you and me, Xu Minghui is my eldest brother, I am his younger brother, I will live wherever he lives, can you manage it, don't let Xu Minghui live in your house if you have the ability."
"I let him live, what's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal, you still want to fight, are you my opponent, I have nirvana and it's useless."
"I have nirvana, too."
"Come on."
"Come on."
The two little girls didn't come in either, and continued to quarrel outside, Xu Minghui had a headache and wanted to die headlong.
"Sit."
The old man under the small locust tree suddenly smiled, glanced outside the door, pointed to the stone next to him and said,
"Woman."
Xu Minghui shook his head awkwardly and sat on the stone next to Ping,
"Women are the most troublesome in the world, can't they hide if they can't be provoked."
The old man looked like a person coming over, and after finishing speaking, he stared at Xu Minghui curiously,
"Hello old man, I'm a friend from the school opposite Zhang Yuxuan."
"The school opposite, hehehe...... This little girl is really going to cause trouble, outside. ”
"My little brother and Zhang Yuxuan had a little misunderstanding, they had a fight, and they didn't get along."
Xu Minghui explained, looking at the old man, he had seen the old man of the Shen family before, and compared with the one in front of him, this old man is not at all like the old man in the big family, but like the old man who plays chess outside, Xu Minghui now doubts whether this is Zhang Yuxuan's home, playing with himself,
"It's normal for children to fight, they have to fight often, there is a lesson when they lose, and they can't be proud when they win."
The old man smiled lightly, drank a cup of tea, and ate a mouthful of peanuts.
"Song Xiaoyu, stop arguing, withdraw."
Xu Minghui stood up, said goodbye to the old man, and was about to leave while shouting, but Zhang Yuxuan and Song Xiaoyu rolled into the small courtyard together, the woman's clothes were not strong in the first place, they were all torn, and they didn't let go at the beginning of the spring, and the onlookers outside laughed together.
"Alright, alright, stop fighting, what a big deal, let's go."
Xu Minghui became impatient and persuaded him hard,
"Come on, don't go home if you lose." The old man coaxed,
"If you tell me to fight, I won't fight."
Zhang Yuxuan pushed Song Xiaoyu away, stood up and raised his head to look at the old man, Song Xiaoyu was also stopped by Xu Minghui, and finally quelled the war between the two women.
"Look at you like this, if it weren't for the neighbors who knew that you were a female doll, just your savage appearance would misunderstand that you were a man, shameful, and you would not be allowed to go out in the future." The old man said without a good face,
"You have to take care of it."
Zhang Yuxuan didn't take the old man's words in his eyes at all, Xu Minghui felt that this old man was probably a not very important person in the Zhang family, otherwise Zhang Yuxuan, who came from the big family, couldn't be so rude, so he stood aside and whispered to Song Xiaoyu,
"What bad things do you say about me, you two stay well, in a few days the Shen family's birthday, I will take you to see the world."
"I've been there a long time ago, what has I seen in the world, and I gave an antique vase when I left."
Song Xiaoyu refused to admit defeat and took out a Qing Dynasty vase sent by the Shen family to thank Xu Minghui for his "life-saving grace", with a smug face.
"Stalls, cut, don't run around, Jinling looks very safe, but it's messy, let's go."
"Where are you going, isn't this your home?" Xu Minghui asked,
"Of course it's my home, but I didn't say I lived here."
"Xiao Nizi, you are out in the wild now, and you finally come back once and don't live at home, where are you going?"
The old man was unhappy, glaring at Zhang Xiaoyu with angry eyes, and the iron walnut in his hand made a crackling sound.
"It's your business, let's go."
Zhang Yuxuan didn't give the old man face, and warned Xu Minghui again not to run around, and left with a small tune humming his nose.
"Hmph, wild girl." The old man smiled bitterly, looked at Xu Minghui, pointed to the house on the left and said, "There is only one guest room, you two pay attention to sleeping, there is no special relationship." ”
"Nope." Song Xiaoyu said first,
"It's almost time to be in the same room, let's go, have you had dinner?"
"I've eaten it."
Xu Minghui was sweating profusely, this old man is also very good, it is estimated that he was assigned here because he didn't understand the rules.
"A room."
Song Xiaoyu glanced at Xu Minghui, and was very disgusted with Xu Minghui's appearance,
"Can't it, we all rent a house, what's the difference, besides, I first came to Jinling, and the younger brother wants to protect the eldest brother, and it's convenient to live in one room."
Xu Minghui said with a serious face, feeling good about himself, and raised his eyebrows, deliberately evil,
"Are you afraid of you, one room is one room, when Yuting was still in the school, Yuting was not used to living in school, so I was squeezed into a basement with Yuting, I was not afraid."
Song Xiaoyu's surname of not admitting defeat came again, gave himself courage, and went into the room first, Xu Minghui tilted his head, smiled angrily, and followed in,
"Flirting, it's coming, it's coming."
The old man looked at Xu Minghui and Song Xiaoyu, and the very experienced thief laughed,
Although the courtyard of the Zhang family does not look big, but when you enter the guest room, you find that it is not small at all, and it is worth Xu Minghui's attention that there is only one bed, a very large bed,
"A bed, fortunately there is a sofa, as a little brother, I sleep on the sofa, and your eldest brother sleeps on the bed." Song Xiaoyu said,
"You're a woman, you sleep in a bed, and I'm a man, sleep on a couch." Xu Minghui frowned and said,
"Then you cancel the one-month gambling contract, and I'll sleep in the bed."
"I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the sofa."
"You, mean, shameless, not a gentleman."
Xu Minghui couldn't help laughing, because his body was still a little dirty, he stood in place and didn't move, and looked at Song Xiaoyu uncomfortably, he was also dirty, remembering that he was still a guest at Shen's house just now, and after dinner, both of them asked for food, which was really embarrassing,
"I'm going to take a shower."
Song Xiaoyu also felt uncomfortable, so he went outside to take a bath, but although there was a toilet here, there was no bathtub or anything like that, Xu Minghui had to walk out of the guest room, asked where the old man under the small locust tree was bathing, and simply went to the nearby public bathhouse together,
"There are still public bathhouses these days."
Song Xiaoyu said with a strange face, looking up at the big plaque in front of him,
"Yes, I went to my father when I was a child, and now I hardly see this kind of old public bathhouse."
Xu Minghui also had a strange expression, standing with Song Xiaoyu in a public bathhouse that only existed more than ten years ago.
"Young man, this is a traditional cultural reserve, although it is the same as then, but it is much more hygienic than before, it is already a major tourist project, rest assured, clean and hygienic, there are no infectious diseases."
The old man at the door of the bathhouse said strangely, hehe,
"It's just clean and hygienic." Song Xiaoyu smiled quite cleanly,
"Is there a mixed bath?" Xu Minghui asked in a low voice, but Song Xiaoyu twisted his arm fiercely,
