There are fewer and fewer such neat yards in Beijing, and the courtyard of Hong Tao's house is technically half a courtyard house, only the houses on the north and east sides, and the houses on the south side are all built after the liberal arts period, so they can't be compared with this courtyard. This kind of standard courtyard house, after 2010, the price can go up to the sky, you have to start with 100 million, you think it's a lot with tens of millions, don't even think about buying this kind of yard.

The west side of the yard is the courtyard gate, next to the courtyard gate is a garage, at this time the garage is wide open to the folding door in the yard, there are two cars parked inside, and a middle-aged woman is picking vegetables at the garage door.

"Miss, you're back." When the woman saw Liu Xiaomei and Hong Tao walking in, she immediately stood up, and she could hear the northwest accent with one mouth, which was probably from Boss Liu's hometown.

"Auntie, I'll come back and get something, you open the storeroom." Liu Xiaomei spoke quite kindly to the middle-aged woman.

"Well, I'll go get the keys, and you go and sit in the house first, young man, do you have tea or drink?" The middle-aged woman was very enthusiastic, her voice was quite loud, she looked at her body well, and she was full of energy.

"You leave him alone, let's go, don't poke in the yard, you sit down for a while." Liu Xiaomei raised her head at the north house, and then she walked to the east room herself.

"Well, is this to let people in or not to let people in?" Hong Tao opened the door of the main room in the middle of the north house according to Liu Xiaomei's instructions, and it seemed that it was a living room inside, with a large area, almost 3 rooms were opened. However, the floor of this room is all wooden, there is a large round carpet in the middle, and there are no slippers to change at the door.

"Young man, go in, it's okay, it's dirty, wipe it again, go on, there's smoke on the table." I don't smoke either, I don't know whether it's good or bad, you smoke yours. Seeing Hong Tao hesitating at the door and not entering the house, the middle-aged woman in the yard came over, pushed Hong Tao directly in, and then stared at Hong Tao at the door, which seemed to mean that she would not leave if she did not smoke.

"I'm X, I'm sorry for you if I don't smoke!" Hong Tao looked at it, and there was a small iron bucket of Dunhill on the coffee table, and when it was opened, it was a cigarette like a cannon rolled by himself. One end is thin and the other is thick, the outside is a positive piece of tobacco, and the inside is black tobacco, although I have not smoked it, but it looks high-end, and I don't smoke it.

"Young man, are you a friend of Miss?" The aunt had a bunch of keys in her hand, and instead of opening the storeroom, she followed the house. helped Hong Tao find a box of matches and brought the ashtray over.

"Auntie, I'll come by myself, come by myself. Ah, I'm familiar with Boss Liu. Hong Tao hurriedly took the ashtray himself, and Hong Tao couldn't say no to her question. I had to carry Boss Liu out.

"You're a local, aren't you? Is there 25? "That aunt is obviously unwilling to be fooled.

"Oh, I live on the north side of Houhai, and your old vision is really accurate. This year is exactly 25, June birthday. Hong Tao looked at it, yes, don't want to send away this three sentences or two sentences, since you are willing to talk, let's talk.

"Oh, it's a year old, right? You're not happy here, are you? "Auntie asked really carefully.

"Yes, it's one year old, you're 40 this year, is the child here?" Hong Tao can't let her ask like this anymore, she will have to ask her parents and work soon, so let's take the initiative.

"Hey, my aunt and I'm almost 50, the big babies are all going to work, and the little girl is about to go to college, all in Beijing. What do you do? Have you started a family? "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, going around and around, but the aunt still comes back.

"Oh, I'm in my own little business, and I haven't started a family yet."

"Well, do it yourself, so are your parents retired? What do they do? "The aunt probably stays in the small courtyard every day, and she can't find anyone to chat, so it's not easy to catch Hong Tao, and she is not polite at all.

"Oh, they're all gone, there was a car accident two years ago." Hong Tao said in his heart, you should have nothing to talk about now.

"Ahh Oh, your child's life is too miserable, so who are you going to live with? You don't have a home at your age! As soon as this aunt heard this, she sat next to Hong Tao, patted Hong Tao's legs, and it seemed that tears would come down if she said it again.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's good to live alone, and the whole family is not hungry when you eat yourself, so it's easy to save trouble." Hong Tao didn't know what to say, did he and the middle-aged woman still have a common language?

"I can't say that, when my parents are there, I can't feel anything, when my eldest son is not married, I can't cook, I eat instant noodles every day, and plums are the same, she can't even afford the fire when I'm not there, I eat outside every day, you say that where is the food at home that is made outside, you see that you clean up, a good child who will live on time, and now the young people, I don't know how distressed I am, my daughter-in-law ......" Auntie's thinking is a little divergent, talking about Hongtao, turning a corner, and went to her daughter-in-law.

Mother-in-law talks about daughter-in-law, it is not one or two episodes that can be broadcast at all, Hong Tao is the worst at talking about short topics in the family, at this time can only be an audience, and he can't be silent, that's not to use silence to fight, it's too rude.

"Oh, auntie, why are you talking again, I still have to go, you can open the door first." Just when Hong Tao was about to finish smoking the third cigarette, Liu Xiaomei came in, she changed her clothes, and her hair was just dry.

"Oh, yes, yes, you see my memory, I hold the key in my hand, and I forgot about opening the door, so go, go now." That aunt is also a good hand at pretending to be confused, she hasn't forgotten it at all, she is just depressed and wants to talk to someone.

"Hey, you've got a room full of cigarettes, let's go, you said you and an old lady can talk together, you can really do it." Liu Xiaomei slammed the smoke in the room with her hand, pushed the door open, and waited for Hong Tao.

It turned out that in the southeast corner of this courtyard, there was a very large room, which was piled up with a lot of big boxes and small bags, and all of Hong Tao's luggage was placed by the door. When I was at Zhou Xiaoli's house, they were all scattered, and it didn't show anything, but now in one episode, there are more than ten large cardboard boxes, if Hong Tao gets it back by himself, the consignment fee alone will cost thousands, and some things may not be able to pass the security check.

Seeing that the aunt was going to help move the boxes, Hong Tao hurriedly went up and stopped him, not to mention whether the box was heavy or not, this thing couldn't be done, Hong Tao didn't let anyone help, who helped and who was in a hurry, he moved the boxes to the garage door one by one, piled them into a big pile, and then waited for Liu Xiaomei to give an order, in the end, use the car to pull.

"Loading the car, are you waiting for me to load it for you?" Liu Xiaomei saw Hong Tao stop, looked at her in a daze, and was anxious again.

"Which one? You can't finish it in one trip, right? Hong Tao pointed to the two cars, a BMW and a Volvo, both of which were sedans and could not fit a few boxes.

"Then pull two trips, and use that one, but I can declare, I can't move, don't count on me." Liu Xiaomei waved her hand indifferently.

"I didn't expect you to do that." Hong Tao didn't dare to say it, this woman couldn't be recruited.

Hong Tao picked the champagne-colored Volvo, opened the trunk, and began to pack boxes into it, the reason why he picked this car was not how big the space was, but that Hong Tao had not driven it, and BMW had touched it several times in his previous life.

"The back seat can also be installed, or you can't pull it down on 2 trips." Liu Xiaomei saw that Hong Tao had filled 3 boxes into the trunk and stopped loading them, so she gave another order.

"There's a piece of iron on the box, I'm afraid I'll scrape the seat." Hong Tao pointed to the strapping strap on the box, which had a metal knot.

"It's okay, I'll sell you if I scratch the car, hurry up and load the car......" Liu Xiaomei didn't give up.

“…… If you dare to die, I will dare to bury it. "Hong Tao doesn't care when he sees that other people's families, so let's pretend, I don't have any money to sell me.

"This small courtyard of your house is not bad, but the house is a little old, and the flip cover is also very good, by the way, I will exchange the building with you, just over there in the Asian Games Village, how about it?" After entering Hong Tao's courtyard, Liu Xiaomei stood under the pomegranate tree in the middle of the courtyard, looked around, and then expressed her evaluation of the courtyard.
