Not long after, Qin Wafan was about to get off work when he met Aunt Qin who came to take a walk in the old tile house.

"Afan, is this your office?"

The second elder was taken by Qin Wafan to the door of the old brick factory, which is currently Qin Wafan's company office.

"Yes, come, Aunt Qin, drink tea, it's a little hot!"

Qin Wafan took the two old men into the office and sat down on the upholstered rattan chair in the office.

"Yo, that's good! In the past, this place was covered with cobwebs and messy, and when you look in from the outside, it is eerie, and you don't want to walk through here, but now it is fiddled with by you young people, and it is quite tasteful! Ha ha! ”

After Qin Bo glanced at Aunt Qin, he smiled at Qin Wafan.

"Yes, where there is youth, there is vitality, and the old looks are renewed, it's true!"

Aunt Qin also smiled.

"It's a good time, I can go to college, if I don't work hard to do something, then how can I afford those tuition fees?"

Qin Wafan replied with a smile.

"That's not easy for you to go to college. You have a chance, and we old people will feel at ease when we look at it. ”

Aunt Qin sighed.

The life of their generation is not as good as the current one, so that children can complete higher education without dropping out of school, how many tears and sweat they have shed, and how much green vegetables and rice they have eaten behind their backs!

How difficult and sad it was, she and her wife Qin Bo deeply experienced it.

"Afan, are you busy next? If you're not busy, let's take a look around the old brick house? ”

Qin Bo invited with a smile.

"Well, yes! I just go there a lot. ”

Qin Wafan said with a high chest.

He really came out and walked around this place when he had nothing to do, and many times, he would sit on the roof of that tiled house and look at the picturesque greenery of a field, and when he was relaxed, many things he couldn't understand, and the decisions he was in a dilemma were made in the green under the blue sky he was looking at, and then he made a decision.

The old house is a typical earthen house with gray tiles and white walls in the countryside, with three or four rooms, which are scattered. It's just in disrepair, and unknown weeds grow high and low on the roof tiles. Some of the tiles were a little messy, and the white wall skin under the eaves had already fallen with a long and short layer of yellow stains, reflecting the dappled sunlight, falling from the cracks in the gray and black mud tiles.

Each gate is still locked. From the original wood color, in the wind and rain for decades, has long been gray-white, the door panel has a vague trace of the door sticker, but that must have been a long, long time ago, now you can only see the four corners of the door sticker a little deeper than the surrounding gray black.

"I don't know if this door can be opened."

Standing in front of the door of one of the largest houses, Aunt Qin actually took out a bunch of keys from her pocket and prepared to open the lock. The lock was rusty and opened.

Push open the door and enter, the room is unusually quiet, as if it is not the first time in ten years, but the family has just returned from going out, wooden couches, painted with light green, only on the corners and welds there are signs of mottling and peeling, two-layer TV cabinets, the cabinet door on the lower floor is painted with green flowers and leaves, gently closed, as if there are bottles and cans to be opened. On the side of the living room, there are six square wooden stools scattered around it, as if waiting for the food from the kitchen to be served.

"This is the living room, these old furniture, we wanted to sell it back then, but we couldn't sell it for a few dollars, and it was a pity to lose it, so I kept it, always thinking about where to come back to escape the summer and cool off and sit down, who knew that after moving away, it was not far away, it was just a long way to pass, and never came in again...... Now I come in, and it's the same as before, and I haven't even moved my position. ”

Qin Bo said emotionally.

"Yes, it seems that the children are going to school, and they will come back from school in a short time, and when they come back, they will cry out for hunger, so that I will look at the time, and when I see that the time is almost up, I will quickly make a fire and cook. lest they come back and wait for the dishes to be served, so they will take a bowl of rice by themselves, lift the lid of the pot and shovel the dishes into their own bowls first, so that Lao Qin will not be able to eat hot dishes when he comes back. ”

Aunt Qin raised her hand and wiped her eyes, her voice had the warmth of the lively life of the family in the past and the choking of the passing times at this moment. Qin Wafan listened to it from the sidelines, and his heart fluctuated.

"Wife, come and see, this is the kitchen in the past, the big stove we used to have!"

Although the houses in the past were all adobe brick and tile houses, the kitchen was definitely not. Qin Bo grabbed the boss's hand like a child, pointed to the stove and shouted:

"Old wife, look, this pot is still there, your let the gods cook, hahaha!"

Qin Bo found the big tin pot that was quietly placed in the stove hole in the old kitchen from the past.

"yes, it's still there! Haha, this is what I deliberately left behind when we moved. Let's go, we have to leave a pot for the God of Wealth to eat, their ancestors, come back, you can smell some fireworks. ”

Aunt Qin also laughed, remembering the days when the family had a fragrant boiler in this big kitchen, she and Uncle Qin seemed to have returned to the past. Although the days were hard at that time, they were simple and happy, physically strong, and in good spirits.

"Let's go, let's go out the back door and look at our yard."

Since Qin Bo stepped into this room, his whole person seemed to be rejuvenated, becoming an old and young man, full of energy, with a happy expression, even walking and shaking his arms, he became full of vitality, and his smile never stopped.

From the front hall door to the kitchen to the back door of the backyard, it is like a river deep in time, floating in the past, echoing the marriage of young couples in the past, the laughter and noise of the dolls in the pots and pans after falling to the ground, imprinted with the dust marks of everyone who has stepped back and forth in this room and the quarrels and reconciliations left behind by each other, and the joy and harmony are changing with each passing day.

After Qin Bo opened the door latch, Aunt Qin opened the wooden door, and Qin Bo couldn't wait to grab in front of Aunt Qin, but he didn't look out quickly, but turned around and glanced at his wife who was retreating behind him, showed a somewhat worried smile, and asked:

"It's been a long time since I've been here, I wonder if the peach tree is still there?"

Aunt Qin smiled back, but didn't say anything, but nudged him with her hand to look out. He finally smiled and turned his head and stepped out of the threshold.

The courtyard is surrounded by a red brick wall, but the wall has long been untidy, although the courtyard has long been out of order, but it is full of green, it has become a vibrant bush, a bowl of thick peach branches stretch out powerfully, and the leaves and green land express its life force as a witness and guardian.

"Yes, still."

Aunt Qin couldn't help but walk over and look up at the thick canopy of the peach tree.

"Yes, it's still there."

Uncle Qin's apprehension had long since subsided. The yard is not decayed and yellow, and his heart is even if it is put down.
