The tricycle master was stimulated by the word "go home", his home was in Longhua Lane, that was not the son of a high-ranking official, or a scholar, and he didn't say much, he pedaled three wheels hard, and it took two hours to arrive, but he was stunned by the master half an hour in advance.

After entering Longhua Hutong, there were soldiers with real guns standing at several doors, and there was no need to guess that there must be big people living here. As they passed, the soldiers were eager to see holes in several people. The tricycle master, who had never seen such a formation, hurriedly pedaled hard, wanting to get out of the sight of these soldiers as soon as possible.

Looking at the neat gate, Bai Han's eyes were hot, and he used money to cover up his gaffe, and asked, "Master, how much?"

"Five cents!" The tricycle master said with a smile, this master is an honest man, Bai Han knows, because the price when he was a child was also five cents. Bai Han took out a five-cent and one-cent banknotes and said, "Master, this is the car money, this dime will buy you water to drink!" ”

The tricycle master couldn't refuse, so he had to take it, sighing secretly, this is everyone's temperament, he will reward, take the money happily, and ride away with a shout.

Bai Han took out the rusty key in the box and went to open the door tremblingly. But with trembling hands, he couldn't find an opening, or Qin Ruhua took it, "click", the rusty copper lock opened, pushed open the door and looked, worthy of the summer season, the yard was full of weeds.

Qin Ruhua looked dumbfounded, Bai Han looked up embarrassed, he hadn't come back for several years, the originally clean and refreshing yard had become so barren now, it was really unbearable.

Now the first task is to pack up a house first and save it for the night. Bai Han took out the key to the hall and opened it, and the furniture inside was still there, but there was a thick layer of dust on it. took out an old piece of clothing from the baggage, tore it, handed it to Qin Ruhua, and said, "Sister Qin, let's clean it up quickly, otherwise there will be no place to live at night." ”

"Bai Han, this house is really good, it's better than my family's previous house, it's good to live here!" Qin Ruhua said with a smile, happily tied a rag to a bamboo pole, wrapped a towel around his head, and began to dust off the roof's return to the city and cobwebs.

Bai Han walked through the grass, found the mouth of the well, lifted off the stones on it, and looked inside, fortunately there was no debris, and the water in it was still usable. I went to the house and found a wooden bucket and began to carry water. Bai Ling and Wu Bin were arranged to sit on the side, and they were not allowed to cause chaos.

"Mom, do you have a small shovel, Brother Wu Bin and I, clean up the grass in the yard?" Bai Ling asked in a milky voice, the weeds in this yard looked really terrible.

Bai Han carried the water, but after looking for a long time, he really didn't find it, so he turned around and said: "Xiao Ling, you and Brother Wu Bin are sitting there and playing, don't run around, mom clean up and cook." If you're hungry, you can eat some chrysanthemum cake first. ”

Bai Han looked at the straight soldiers who were standing more than twenty meters away from the door, if only they came to help. You must know that Mother Bai Han and Aunt Qin, the light hall house will have to be cleaned up all day, not to mention the weeds in this yard. Anyway, try it first.

While his mother Bai Han was not paying attention, Bai Ling took a bag of chrysanthemum cakes, walked towards the soldiers and brothers, Wu Bin remembered his mother's words, and wanted to protect Xiaoling's sister, and also went out.

Walking to the place where the four soldier brothers stood, Bai Ling showed a smile that he thought was the best, and said, "Four soldier brothers, do you eat chrysanthemum cakes?" ”

The four of them looked at the two milk babies in front of them, and they were called "Brother Bing" by a little girl with no teeth, which was really a little uncomfortable. They were on duty, very serious, plus they were tanned like the bottom of a pot and had black faces. Even if they didn't say anything, it was scary enough.

Bai Ling was very coincidental and cried "wow", Wu Bin protected Bai Ling behind him, strengthened his courage, and said loudly: "You bully Sister Xiaoling!" ”

These are all half-sized guys, who have never gotten along with children, looking at the little girl who is crying with tears rippling in her eyes, full of black lines; But I really appreciate the little boy who protects his sister behind him, not bad!

Qin Ruhua and Bai Han were cleaning up their things in the house, and they heard the children crying outside. But the people in the courtyard heard a little girl crying, and a majestic voice floated out from inside: "Why are there children crying?" ”

The door opened, and an old man with gray hair who was in poor spirits, dressed in a simple cloth coat and cotton shoes, stood in the doorway. Bai Ling has stopped crying, and if he wants to lure you out, this is half the battle.

"Grandpa, I'm Bai Ling, this is Brother Wu Bin, and we are new here. However, my mother said that it was Xiao Ling's grandfather, my grandmother's house! Bai Ling said with a slight sob, crystal tears, hanging on his face, endearing, "This is the chrysanthemum cake made by my mother, it's delicious, but the soldiers ignore me and scare me!" As he spoke, he was going to hold his mouth and cry again.

As soon as he saw Bai Ling, Wu Bin's two pink-carved children, especially the little girl named Bai Ling, were chubby and very pleasing.

The old man squatted down, stretched out his hands and said, "Xiao Ling, it turned out that I was giving chrysanthemum cakes to my grandfather." Grandpa has a white rabbit here, come in and eat! As he spoke, he hugged Bai Ling home.

Bai Ling struggled to get down, and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, no, we have a lot of grass at home, and my mother is cleaning it, and Xiao Ling wants to borrow a small shovel to help my mother work." ”

The old man hugged Bai Ling, turned his face and asked the guard next to him, "Xiao Li, No. 16, is it the home of physicist Bai Haoyun?" ”

Xiao Li thought for a while and replied: "Back to Lin Lao, Professor Bai does have a daughter named Bai Han, after the death of Professor Bai and his wife, Bai Han became a rural educated youth for seven or five years!" ”

Lin Lao nodded and said, "You go and call, call a few people over, and help clean up the house." Look at Xiao Ling in his arms again, "Xiao Ling, you can talk to Grandpa now." ”

"Okay, Xiaoling is very heavy, let me come down! Grandpa Lin, you will be tired holding Xiaoling. "Bai Ling struggled to come down, this little girl is so funny. Lin Lao put down Bai Ling and asked, "Didn't you bring me something delicious, what is it?" ”

Bai Ling's heart was happy, the tricycle master just now said that the people who lived here were either rich or expensive, and his grandfather could have a house here, which proved that he was not bad at that time. Maybe these neighbors still know each other, but I didn't expect to be really crushed. Bai Ling shook the small bag in his hand and said, "Chrysanthemum cake, made by my mother, it's delicious, I guarantee that you eat it this time, and you want to eat it next time." ”

Bai Ling opened the rope on it, opened the small bag, and motioned for Lin Lao to take a piece, and Lin Lao really took it quickly and prepared to put it in his mouth.

"Lin Lao! Don't eat! "The guard named Xiao Li obviously doesn't want Lin Lao to eat other people's things, if there is a problem with the food, then he will probably have to roll up and go home, and he really can't let Lin Lao eat those messy things.

Lin Lao glared at Xiao Li, this young man is getting more and more verbose, although the starting point is good, but he can't control it so widely, right and wrong, he can still tell the difference. From Bai Ling's hand, he took out a piece of chrysanthemum cake, put it on his nose and smelled it, and a fragrance filled the tip of his nose.

I put it in my mouth and took a bite, it was a little better than I remembered, and when I swallowed it, I only felt that the throat was moist and cool, and the stomach was also very comfortable. Ate a piece, took another piece. This Lin Lao has stomach cancer, and he has reached the middle and late stages, and he eats and vomits. Xiao Li's eyes widened in surprise when he saw that Lin Lao had eaten two chrysanthemum cakes in a row. looked at Bai Ling very flatteringly, but Bai Ling ignored him, didn't he still look at himself like a thief just now, and he didn't want to think about it, is there such a small thief!

Isn't there another brother, Xiao Li picked up Wu Bin, like a fox coaxing the little white rabbit, and asked flatteringly: "Your name is Wu Bin, right?" What a nice name! Can you tell my uncle where you bought this pastry? ”

Bai Ling had to admit that this Xiao Li was really able to talk, sneering, Xiao Li was embarrassed by Bai Ling's laughter, and saw that Xiao Li, who usually manages the east and west, was blushed by the two little hairy children, and laughed with a good mood.

Lin Lao, who was not in good spirits, got much better after this laugh. Wu Bin didn't understand why everyone was laughing, although he hated Xiao Li a lot just now, but his mother said to be polite, Wu Bin replied: "Uncle, my mother and Aunt Bai will do it, and when we clean it up and do it again, I'll send you a little more." ”

Xiao Li was almost moved to cry, this child was intimate, very generous took out a small pendant with a bullet shell from his pocket and gave it to Wu Bin, Wu Bin, who had few toys, was bought by this broken bullet shell.

A few people who Xiao Li called just now arrived, and Xiao Li sent Lin Lao, who was a little sleepy, to take a lunch break, and took the two children away.

"Mom, Mom, look, I got a few soldiers to help!" Xiao Li hugged Bai Ling, and after entering the door, Bai Ling shouted at the top of his voice.

Qin Ruhua and Bai Han cleaned up the hall, just burned a little tea, and died of thirst. The two ran out and saw four or five and a half guys, dressed in military uniforms, and didn't know what was going on.

"Xiaoling, what's going on?" Bai Hanhu asked Bai Ling with a face, don't get into trouble on the first day you go to City B, this is not a good sign.

As soon as Bai Ling wanted to answer, Xiao Li preemptively said: "You are Bai Han, Lin Lao is Professor Bai's previous acquaintance, since he is an old man, he sent a few of our brothers to take a look, clean this house inside and out, and clean it well." ”

When Bai Han heard that he knew his father, he was happy and sad, but it was great to have someone to help. When you're done, make a basket of chrysanthemum cake and send it over as a thank you gift.

"Then I'm going to leave it to you." Bai Han said with a smile, opened all the doors, and a few and a half guys, working with their hands and feet, jumping up and down, the house was almost cleaned, and when it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, there were only weeds left in the yard.
