"I don't know when I sleep in spring, I hear birds everywhere, the sound of wind and rain at night, and how many flowers fall!"

It was a sunny morning after the spring rains, and the young children's voices, the chirping of birds, and the shouts of the vendors outside the courtyard in this inconspicuous courtyard merged into a unique song.

A ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the window of the east wing room on Tang Zhidao's face, who was still lying on the wooden bed, he had been awake for a long time, but his brain was still a little groggy.

"Knock, knock, knock......" The old-fashioned pendulum clock on the wall struck eight times in a row and then fell silent, which was bought by Tang Zhidao half a year ago from the thrift market, and he was no longer gone when he first bought it.

"Leave me something? Let's get up and look through what is left! Tang Zhidao stretched his waist and looked around the whole room, and thought in surprise, didn't anyone come to raid the house? Maybe people don't even know that they live here, or they don't like these things in the house.

There are three rooms in the east wing, Tang Zhidao occupies two rooms by himself, the inner room is the bedroom, the outer room is the living room and the study, the area is about thirty square meters, it is spacious to live alone, and the monthly rent is six oceans. The other room was rented by a beautiful landlady to a young student studying in the capital, who went out early and returned late every day and didn't know what to do.

"Huh? Who took off my clothes? Picking up the quilt on his body, Tang Zhidao realized that he was only wearing underwear, and his trousers and coat were neatly stacked on the chair next to the bed. He casually put his jacket over his body and paced around his room with slippers next to the bed.

In the bedroom, there is a wooden bed, which is where he was lying just now, and next to the wooden bed is a sophisticated Western-style wardrobe. Gently push open the wardrobe door, there are several military uniforms (regular uniforms, dresses, combat uniforms), in addition to some simple regular clothes, the bottom of the wardrobe has a dark lattice locked with a copper lock.

"The key should be in the ......" Subconsciously Tang Zhidao took out a bunch of keys from a military uniform that he most often wears on weekdays, and the smallest one is a dark grid, Tang Zhidao said to himself while opening the lock. Sure enough, a piece of fine jade pendant, twenty-eight pieces of current oceans, more than a dozen banknotes issued by the Bank of China, and other bits and pieces of property were taken out from it, and it was estimated that it was only about a hundred oceans.

"Fortunately, I knocked a stroke from Jiang Dashao!" As soon as Tang Zhidao touched the stack of banknotes in his arms, he put them into the dark compartment as well.

"Unless you hurry up and find a decent job, you really can't live the big days before!" Although the staff of the major of the War Department are not as good as the battalion commanders who lead the troops below, they also have a monthly salary of fifty or sixty yuan per month, and occasionally they can be given an allowance of ten or eight yuan, and they can also have an income of seven or eight hundred yuan in a year, which is enough to live a decent time even in the capital. Now that there is a lack of input, the money is spent one less one, so I won't go to fight a few buddies in the autumn breeze! Eating people is the shortest, taking people softly, and no matter how iron the relationship is, it can't withstand the corrosion of money.

In the middle of the outer living room, there is a Western-style glass coffee table, the top is spotless, two or three slightly worn sofas seem a little out of tune, and the most corner bookcase is neatly placed with all kinds of books, Chinese, foreign languages, classical, Western, military, and literature.

"Inland waterway shipping is controlled by others, what sea power is there to talk about!" Tang Zhidao walked over and picked up an English version of "The Theory of Sea Power" and flipped it up, but it had already been painted beyond recognition by the owner of the book, and a lot of testimonials and thoughts were written in the blank space. As an elite of the Marine Corps, Tang Guojie had read the Chinese version of this book many times before the crossing, but he definitely did not study it so thoroughly, let alone directly read the English version. …,

"Knock knock!" There was a soft knock on the door.

"Who?" Tang Zhidao said vigilantly, the situation outside has not yet eased.

"Mr. Tang is me!" A pleasant voice came from outside the door.

"Wait a minute!" Tang Zhidao hurriedly took out a pair of trousers from the closet and put them on.

"Is Mr. Tang okay?" The people outside were obviously in a hurry.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Tang Zhidao ran over and slammed open the door of the east wing with both hands, and for a while the humidity after the spring rain, the fragrance of peach blossoms, the fragrance of mature women, and a hot breath came to his face. A simplely dressed woman was standing in front of the door with a large bowl of hot soup, beads of sweat running down her fair face and high nose.

"Don't get out of the way, burn me, burn me!" Xiao Yun didn't care about greeting Tang Zhidao who was in a daze, and put a large bowl of hot soup in his hand on the coffee table.

"Sister-in-law Lu, ...... are you" In my memory, Tang Zhidao and this beautiful landlady did not have much intersection, only knowing that her husband's surname was Lu, and she had never seen her husband, nor had she heard anyone mention it, and she would simply say a few words of greeting when she came to collect rent every month.

"I cooked a bowl of chicken soup to cure your hangover!" Xiao Yun was a little overwhelmed, but said simply.

"With Sister-in-law Lao Lu, I'm really a little hungry!" Smelling the fragrance of chicken soup, Tang Zhidao realized that he hadn't eaten for a day and a night, so he unceremoniously picked up chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly!" Seeing that Tang Zhidao, who had always been polite, was gobbling up his meal, Xiao Yun said with a smile: "There is still a little in the pot, I will give it to Sheng after eating!" ”

"Thank you so much, it's been a long time since I've eaten something so good." Tang Zhidao divided five by two, and ate a big bowl of chicken soup to the bottom.

"Where's Yu Xuan?" After eating the second bowl, Tang Zhidao wiped the oil on his mouth with his hand and asked, compared to the beautiful woman with a concave and beautiful face in front of him, Tang Zhidao seemed to be more willing to stay with a little girl who was less than four years old.

"Yu Xuan is practicing calligraphy in the house!" Speaking of her daughter Yuxuan, Xiao Yun's face relaxed a lot, and she said with a smile: "She is making trouble going out to find you every day these days." ”

"Yes!" Tang Zhidao said with a little emotion: "I haven't seen her for more than a month, and I also think it is strange!" ”

"Uncle Tang, Uncle Tang!" While the two were talking, the little girl had already run in like a gust of wind, and pounced on Tang Zhidao as soon as she saw it.

"Yuxuan is getting more and more beautiful!" I haven't seen this little Lori in my arms for more than a month, and I'm getting more and more cute.

"Uncle Tang, where have you been for a month?" The little girl flashed her big eyes and said, "My mother and mother are talking to you in front of the Buddha statue every day." ”

"Uncle Tang went on a long trip." Tang Zhidao stroked the little girl's face and asked, "What is your mother talking about your uncle?" ”

"Don't listen to children's nonsense!" When Xiao Yun heard this, she hurriedly stopped, and her face flushed.

"Uncle Tang, did you bring me something delicious this time?" In the past, every time Tang Zhidao came back, he would bring something to coax Yuxuan, usually sugar gourds, melon seeds, peanuts, sour plum soup and other foods.

"This time, my uncle was in a hurry to go back and forth, and I didn't have time to buy it!" Tang Zhidao smiled apologetically and said, "Next time, my uncle will definitely buy you a double portion!" ”

"Oh!" The little girl said with a little disappointment: "Uncle Tang, next time you go out, take me and my mother together, it's really uncomfortable to be bored in the yard every day." ”

"Hmm!" Tang Zhidao replied casually: "Isn't there a fat dun in the yard to play with you?" "Little Fat Dun's father is a businessman in the capital, and their family originally lived in the West Wing.

"Brother Fat Dun and his family moved out last month!" The little girl said lonely. …,

"What about the big brother who lives next door?" One of the rooms in the east wing was rented to a student who came to Beijing from other places to study.

"I also quit the lease last week!" Xiao Yun said helplessly, the rent of the original three families plus the needlework she usually found to feed the mother and daughter was enough and even a slight surplus, but now it is difficult to sustain the rent of six oceans by Tang Zhidao alone.

"Won't I be the only tenant of this yard?" Tang Zhidao thought about it and said, a big man always feels a little inappropriate to rent a beautiful woman's house, and it is easy to spread rumors, or move to Zeng Lu's house!

"Mr. Tang is moving out too?" Xiao Yun obviously saw Tang Zhidao's thoughts, and her heart tightened.

"No, no, it's just that it's inevitable that a man and a woman will ......be under the same roof," said someone who said that the center of the Tang Dao said embarrassedly.

"Humph! I have always been a gentleman, and I think I am also a layman! Xiao Yun's face turned cold and said: "Then please take care of yourself, the little woman can't tarnish the reputation of the gentleman!" ”

"Sister-in-law Lu misunderstood, she never meant that in the future." didn't expect the other party to be so sensitive, Tang Zhidao hurriedly apologized: "I don't have a place to live except here, it's just that this courtyard is too quiet with fewer people." ”

"Someone has already come to see the house, and it is estimated that they will be able to move in in a few days!" Xiao Yun's face softened a lot, and she said lightly.

"Yu Xuan heard that you were practicing calligraphy just now?" In order to ease the tense atmosphere in the room, Tang Zhidao said to the little girl beside him: "Take all the words you have written recently to your uncle and see if there is any progress." ”

"Hmm!" The little girl hurriedly ran to the hall, wearing a light red long skirt on her body, which looked a little smaller, and her delicate arms were exposed.

"Yuxuan, slow down!" Xiao Yun picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the coffee table and walked out.

"Sister-in-law Lu, wait a minute!" Tang Zhidao turned around and walked towards the bedroom, and Xiao Yun stood in the empty door with a puzzled expression.

After a while, Tang Zhidao walked out of the bedroom, walked straight to Xiao Yun, and put a big ocean plug in her hand, there were more than a dozen pieces in her hand.

"What are you doing, sir?" Xiao Yun hurriedly shirked and said, "Mr.'s rent has been paid until next month." ”

"Now the prices outside are rising sharply, buy new clothes for yourself and your children." After Tang Zhidao stuffed the ocean to Xiao Yun, he said slowly: "Don't call me Mr. in the future, just call me Tang Zhidao or Brother Tang." ”

"Then the right to be the house money for Mr. and Brother Tang in the next few months!" Xiao Yun hesitated for a moment before stuffing a few pieces of ocean into his pocket, the family's cash was getting less and less, and he didn't dare to move the slightest savings.

"Whatever you do, it can also be counted as food money, I'm afraid I'll have to eat here with you these days." Tang Zhidao said casually: "I don't know if Sister-in-law Lu is willing to take it in?" ”

"Absolutely!" Hearing that Tang Zhidao was willing to eat the food she cooked, Xiao Yun felt a little more happy in her heart, and she couldn't wait to accept it.

"Anything else?" Seeing that Xiao Yun had walked a few steps and stopped, Tang Zhidao asked curiously.

"I won't call you Mr. anymore, and you shouldn't call me Sister-in-law Lu, okay?" Xiao Yun looked back at Tang Zhidao and said.

"Yes, but what should I call you?" Tang Zhidao said indifferently, he didn't have a lot of intersections with beautiful landowners before, and he didn't know her name, maybe she didn't have a name at all (at this time, many women did only have a surname).

"The slave's surname is Xiao, and the single name is a Yun character!" Xiao Yun said affectionately: "Brother Tang just call me Xiao Yun." ”

"Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun!" Tang Zhidao said silently on both sides: "I wrote it down." ”
