Chapter 9: The Ugly Mother-in-law's Home



"Granny Zhang, what about your children?" Uncle Kong asked again.

"My son is out there doing big business! It's amazing! A lot of people listened to him! It's majestic! ...... "When she talked about her son, she kept talking, but we all understood, and after talking for a long time, it was nothing more than that his son was very capable outside, but he didn't come back to see her much, let alone care about her!"

This small alley is really old enough, the bluestone road in the middle can barely drive the car in, we originally planned to park the car outside the alley, but Granny Zhang insisted that we park the car in her yard. "The innermost one on the left is it! It's safest for you to park your car in the innermost place, it's all empty houses, no one lives in them, and I washed the sheets, and they're still drying! I'll lay it on for you later! She added.

On both sides of the alley are the old-fashioned adobe and green tile houses, although the courtyard walls are a little collapsed, but you can see the traces of repair, perhaps in order to rectify the city, these dilapidated houses that are incompatible with the surrounding surface have been painted with a layer of white paint, and the banner on the wall also reads: "Build a beautiful home, create a happy life"! I can't believe that this kind of house could be used as a hotel to entertain guests! Although I am also from the countryside, we are basically two or three story small bungalows, this kind of house should have been twenty or thirty years ago, and it is still so well preserved, it is really incredible!

"Don't worry, it's more peaceful to live here than to stay in a luxury hotel outside! It may be a little hard to get used to at first, but you won't regret it! "Granny Zhang probably noticed that when we looked around, there was a slightly disgusted look in our eyes, so she repeatedly emphasized this point! And to my surprise, she actually used the word "tranquility"! Isn't it "peaceful" to live outside?

"Don't get me wrong, we just think it's not easy for you to take care of so many old houses by yourself! Rest assured, we are all from the countryside and will not be unaccustomed to living! Uncle Kong hurriedly explained.

"Mother-in-law, you have been alone for so many years...... It's really not easy......" Wu Qian said a very gentle and gentle word at this time, I turned my head to look at her, and I saw something strange from her cold face! That thing...... Is it sympathy? Pity? When this was to be placed in Muzi Village, I could accept it, but now, how strange I look at it! Could it be that this is the legendary "crocodile tears"?

Although Granny Zhang asked us to pick a house at will, for the sake of convenience, we decided to stay at her house, parked the car, and followed her into the house.

Although the adobe house looks dilapidated from the outside, the inside of the house is different! Granny Zhang's house has a total of eight rooms! There are four bedrooms facing the door, a kitchen, a firewood room, a storage room lined up on the right side of the door, and a door that is locked.

There is no living room in her house, and the place for eating and meeting guests is in the kitchen, and if you want to chat or something, it is next to the stone table in the small courtyard. The toilet in her house is also very simple, just set up a shed under the backyard wall, and dig a thatched pit underneath, which is a suspended floor built with wooden planks, fortunately, it is relatively strong, otherwise there will be no sound in the manure pit! There was also a large wooden bucket and a trolley outside the toilet, which I think were used to scoop up manure......

When I came out of the toilet, I saw Jiang Yansan frowning and sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, looking worried, I don't know if this eldest young master is not used to it, or if he is worried about Zhang Dali, who is still asleep; And Uncle Kong and Wu Qian helped Granny Zhang in our bedroom......
