"The big alley is three thousand six, and the small alley is a cow."

This is not just talking, in addition to the large number of people in the ancient city, there are the most hutongs.

It is really a hutong with a hutong, a hutong with a hutong, a hutong on top of a hutong, some places seem to have a road, but in fact it is not passable, and strangers can easily walk into a "dead end".

In Zhou Jiao's literary and artistic terms.

The alleys are long and circuitous, and no one knows where the next fork is, just like a person's life, where will be the next source, and where will it be a beginning?

Of course, in Zhang Guoqing's view, Hutong is Hutong, how can it be compared with the unpredictable life? If you go more and are familiar, you will know what you are heating up with.

Not to mention that if you make a mistake, just pick up an old resident in the narrow and intricate alleys, and he/she can also give you enthusiastic directions.

The only regret is that the familiar names of the hutongs, those with many historical origins and cultural atmosphere, have changed, and they are an unfamiliar mess.

Just like the original North Terracotta Hutong, Qinlao Hutong, and Chochai Hutong...... It's all changed to a lot of red flags and a lot of Dongfang.

But it's not without a good side, and for example, the indecent names of the dung factory alley and the dog's tail alley have finally been changed at one time.

Zhang Guoqing didn't know what others thought, but he felt that Li Qinglin must be happy. Imagine that an acquaintance around you asks where your home is?

The Northeast man, who is deeply involved in literary and artistic cells, gritted his teeth in his heart. It's a pity that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, how can you get your wish.

The young couple was reluctant to accept the gifts from their parents, of course, Zhang Guoqing guessed in his heart that the little couple should be reluctant to give up their due benefits.

No, the housing benefits are enjoyed, but there are also regrets. There are more than a dozen households in a big mansion, and it is lively, not the name of the alley, and it is estimated that there is no trouble in getting along with the neighbors.

Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao walked through the alleys all the way, and when they arrived at Li Qinglin's house, it was almost half an hour later, and they were sweating in the cold weather.

This is also not very far from the restaurant, otherwise Zhang Guoqing would still be able to say crooked reasoning and persuade his daughter-in-law not to come to this miscellaneous courtyard.

If he wants to persuade someone, it is really a reason not to go with a thief, anyway, no matter how crooked the theory is, it will make people feel that there is really no reason to refute it if you think about it carefully.

The outermost two rooms in the west wing of the courtyard are the small homes of Li Qinglin and Hu Xiaohui. It is said that this is still a good place to live in advance to take care of Hu Xiaohui.

Now it will be a while before the winter vacation, but there are a lot of children playing and running crazy in the yard, and the parents who come in and out don't care.

This childhood is really relaxing and comfortable, and you can play as much as you want......

The appearance of Zhang Guoqing in a military uniform made everyone in the courtyard pause for a moment, especially the children, whose eyes were shining and staring at him with admiration.

Zhang Guoqing, who protected his wife and reminded her to pay attention to the icy and slippery roads, looked up at them, greeted them with his chin head, and walked to the west side of the courtyard.

After the snow, the place where many people walk is like

"It's looking for the little couple in Westinghouse."

"That's needless to say, no one in our hospital is a military family."

"Brother, I want to be a soldier in the future."

"Wait until you don't wet the bed......"

The miscellaneous discussions behind him were left behind by Zhang Guoqing and the couple, and after passing the moon gate, the sharp-eyed Zhang Guoqing was the first to find that Li Qinglin was bending over with briquettes.

"Forest ......"

This familiar voice made Li Qinglin quickly turn around, and with a snap, a briquette was destroyed.

"Little Five......

Soon, the buddies hugged each other warmly and giggled together.

This scene made Zhou Jiao pull the corners of her mouth speechlessly, threw down the two people who were stupid, and first shook her hand and pushed open the door and went inside.

Usually they either go to their unit to chat, or they go to the compound to reminisce, their young couple moved here, except for the time when they got married, Zhou Jiao is different from Zhang Guoqing, who occasionally comes to visit the door, and really hasn't been here. But it didn't delay her to memorize the layout of the furnishings.

Sure enough, except for the big happy words on the window furniture, the inside is still the same as in the impression. It is also a reception room dining room, and the right room that opens up is used as a bedroom.

"Jiaojiao, come by yourself, Xiaohui is coming back soon."

Zhou Jiao didn't be polite to them who just came in, and first found a chair to sit down, "You didn't go to buy grain today?" ”

"I went, I went to the queue in the early morning, and I came back almost noon. Xiaohui accompanied me to see her mother after buying food, and she was about to come back. ”

Zhang Guoqing glanced at him, "Why didn't you accompany her?" "It's stupid, and I don't know how to accompany my daughter-in-law to my mother-in-law's favor!

"Her mom has a job today."

Zhang Guoqing was too lazy to compete with people with low emotional intelligence, so he poured a cup of hot water for his daughter-in-law to warm her hands.

"Are you going back this year?"

Zhang Guoqing shook his head, "I definitely can't do it at the end of the year, and I can't schedule the holidays." What about you? ”

"We may not be able to leave until we are twenty-six. Xiaohui still wants Jiaojiao to go back together, you are not free, your daughter-in-law will never have a holiday, right? ”

Can Zhang Guoqing say that he is not at ease. "The two of us have discussed, first transfer shifts with colleagues to see if we can catch the party on the third day of the first lunar month."

Regarding the fact that the aunts and grandmothers who got married on the third day of the first lunar month of the old Zhang family went back to their parents' house for a party, Li Qinglin also knew. However, in the past few years, he has not been in vain in the capital, and in the first month, his mother-in-law and the Bai family have come and gone a lot, as the only son-in-law of the Zhou family, can the two buddies really go back?

This is more suitable for Zhou Jiao to explain, she smiled, "We are different from the Bai family. I don't have any relatives in my family, except for some group worship, my mother has to lead the group down to the grassroots. ”

As for her father Zhou Xiaozheng, his daily arrangement is no longer suitable for showing his mouth to the public. This year, it is estimated that you will either participate in any celebration and go to the grassroots level to hide from the grassroots.

The couple planned to go back to their hometown, but they didn't plan to avoid someone visiting them during the New Year. At this critical juncture, it is better to deal with less than others.

"In that case, a few of us can still meet in our hometown in the first month, so we will go back first, and then go to the provincial capital to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of junior high school and then pick up your family back."

"When the time comes, it's still early, who knows if there will be something that won't be able to leave." Zhang Guoqing hurriedly said. If you don't say this, as soon as Li Qinglin and Zhang Yuntao say it in the letter, it is estimated that his father and mother will be believed, in case they don't go back, they will not be disappointed?

Besides, if he really went back this time, he didn't plan to take his three sons with him. He also plans to play with his little girl all the way and live a good life in the world of two.

"Hey, it's early, my daughter-in-law has started to pack her luggage." Li Qinglin glanced at him with disdain, and let go of the matter, anyway, he could meet it when he went back.

He pointed to the next door and lowered his voice, "Did you notice?" There's no one next door. ”
