Chapter 193 Ask for Directions
The noodles were quickly served, it was a bowl of clear soup noodles, with a few stars of oil flowers and a few vegetable leaves floating on it, and there were not a few noodles.
There was no way, Jiang Tiandao only ate a few bites indiscriminately.
While eating, he asked, "Eldest sister, where does Teacher Ye Qingye's family live?" ”
"What Ye Qing, there is no such person in the town." The fat woman said while munching on melon seeds.
"I teach in the city, and I have a grandfather at home, surnamed Gu." Jiang Tiandao said.
"Oh, you said Old Man Gu's granddaughter, I knew when you said Old Man Gu." The fat woman slapped her thigh: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" I thought it was. With that, he hurriedly rushed out of the counter.
"I said Housheng, who are you from Old Man Gu, what's the matter with him?"
The fat woman sat on the seat opposite Jiang Tiandao with her buttocks, dragged her chin with both hands, and asked with a smile.
"This, I ......" Jiang Tiandao didn't know how to explain the identity of himself and Old Man Gu.
But before he could explain, the fat woman slapped the table: "I know!" Are you Old Man Gu's grandson-in-law who has never met!? ”
Jiang Tiandao just put his mouth to the side of the bowl and was about to drink the soup, when this slap was slapped, and the soup in the bowl splashed his face.
"I'm sorry, Housheng, I'm so happy, hurry up and wipe it." The fat woman was embarrassed and hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe Jiang Tiandao's face.
He also said apologetically: "Don't eat this bowl of noodles, I'll ask your uncle to make you another bowl." ”
As he spoke, he raised his head and shouted: "Old man, quick, this is Old Man Gu's granddaughter and son-in-law are here, hurry up and make a bowl of shredded meat noodles for the offspring!" ”
A thin horse-faced man ran out of the back kitchen and stared at Jiang Tiandao curiously for a long time.
It's as if Jiang Tiandao is some kind of visitor from outside the sky.
"Dead old man, what are you looking at, don't hurry up and cook!"
The fat woman drank again, and the thin horse face came to her senses, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, good." He ran back to the back kitchen.
"Hou Sheng, you can be regarded as coming, Old Man Gu is not arrogant, and that girl is not looking forward to it in vain." The fat woman said and sighed: "Alas, this hard-working man, I talk about you every day, looking forward to you coming, now you are really here, it is good that you are here." ”
Jiang Tiandao lowered his head: "How are the two of them doing?" ”
"How's it going?" The fat woman sighed: "An old man of seventy or eighty years old, a female doll who is powerless, how do you say they can live?" ”
Jiang Tiandao's heart tightened, it seems that the life of these two men is really not very good.
"Alas, this girl is the same age as my daughter, so when I was a child, sometimes my daughter went to her house to play, and when I went to look for her, I saw the two of them eating. That's called a light! The whole is boiled noodles in white water, there is no oil and water, and the steamed buns are also mixed with some black noodles and yellow noodles, who still eats that this year! The fat woman sighed.
Jiang Tiandao's heart was sour.
"Well, but the girl seemed to be very happy every day, and when I asked her why she was so happy, she didn't say. But my daughter told me that she was there every day and said that everything would be fine when my man came. This is almost 20 years, from childhood to adulthood, she has changed from a little girl of three or four years old to a big girl who is loved by everyone, and she has also become a university teacher, but that sentence has not changed. The fat woman said, and patted Jiang Tiandao: "Okay now, you're finally here, this girl's suffering can be regarded as coming to an end." ”
Jiang Tiandao's body trembled when she slapped him, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground with a click.
He hurriedly bent down and picked up the chopsticks: "Auntie, then where do you say her family lives?" ”
"Whoa! Walk along this street until the end, and then turn back, there is an old courtyard there......" The fat woman stood up and walked to the door to show Jiang Tiandao the route, but when she turned her head, there was no trace of Jiang Tiandao.
"Huh? What about people? ”
At this time, the man in the back kitchen had already made a bowl of shredded meat noodles and brought it over: ", what about people?" ”
The fat woman was also at a loss: "I don't know, I was still here just now." Hey? Money? ”
She found that under the chopsticks cage on the table, there was a banknote, which seemed to be the bowl of noodles left by Jiang Tiandao.
Jiang Tiandao didn't have the heart to stay in the hotel any longer, and the fat woman was babbling about Ye Qing's story when he was a child, but in his heart it was like pressing a stone.
Heavy.
According to the route said by the fat woman, Jiang Tiandao walked along the street to the end, and then turned around, and sure enough, he saw an old courtyard.
The courtyard is very large, just like the kind of courtyard house that is very common in the capital, but the area is very large, and it seems to occupy the size of five or six acres of land.
Looking from the outside, you can see that there are many old houses in the yard and many tall trees.
It can be seen that the history of this courtyard is not short, at least one or two hundred years old.
Jiang Tiandao frowned, if there was such a big old courtyard, Ye Qing and her grandfather should have a good life.
Because in this day and age, an old yard like this is definitely worth a lot of money.
There was a big locust tree at the entrance of the yard, and the trunk was so thick that it looked like it would take three or four people to hold it.
There were three or four children playing with the mud under the tree.
Jiang Tiandao suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he seemed to have played with Ye Qing like this, and the two of them used Ye Qing's urine and mud to play.
He also lifted Ye Qing's little skirt to study why she looked different from herself.
It was 20 years ago, but now it seems like it's right in front of you.
But now, the two of them can no longer be as carefree there as they were when they were children, and they don't have a little mustard to play.
Jiang Tiandao thought as he walked to the door of the old courtyard.
The door was closed, and there were two large iron rings on it.
Jiang Tiandao grabbed the iron ring and knocked on the door twice, but no one came out for half a day.
Jiang Tiandao smiled dumbly, such a big courtyard, you are knocking on the door so elegantly here, can the people inside hear it?
He stretched out his hand and tried to push the door, and the door creaked open, and it turned out that the inside was not closed.
Jiang Tiandao thought for a while, but still raised his feet and walked in.
When I walked into the yard, I saw that the yard was full of all kinds of flowers and plants, which made the whole courtyard waft with a faint fragrance of flowers.
And the ground in the yard was swept clean and spotless, and there was not even a single weed on the ground, which was enough to see how diligent and tidy the owner of the yard was.
Looking up at the green shade on the trees and the flowers and plants in the yard, Jiang Tiandao thought to himself, it would be very pleasant to live in such a yard.
"Xiaoqing, bring me a pot of water to drink!"
An old, but spirit-sounding voice came from the courtyard behind.
Jiang Tiandao's heart moved, and he walked towards the backyard.
