Chapter 19: There Are Someone in the Old House
The group leader quickly responded, "Dear, don't leave the group!" There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but there is no chance to send WeChat on the other side. ”
“……”
Liang Yuwei is actually not interested in these group chats, and for various reasons before, he has also added several groups, such as mountaineering groups, red envelope groups, university groups, and Jiangnan Eight Fairies groups.
In her opinion, these groups can never escape a rule: the initial freshness, teasing, greetings, and reminiscing about each other. In the later stage, it was boring, there was no text, only the exchange of expressions and pictures between each other. Occasionally, there will be a few generous people who send a few red envelopes to try to stir up the atmosphere in the group that has been silent and quiet for a long time. In the end, these groups have only one ending, and gradually lose their freshness and are gradually forgotten as time goes by.
The newly created group chats became more and more frequent, and Liang Yu was slightly annoyed, so he simply opened the message so as not to disturb.
Just blocked the WeChat group, and the phone was quietly turned off.
When it's cold, it will automatically shut down!
Damn Apple, this girl will replace you later!
After putting away the phone, Liang Yuwei realized that she had neglected her mother, and a wave of guilt welled up in her heart, ready to accompany her shopping, but found...
Hey, what about Mom?
Liang Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and she found that Liang Fanglian was gone.
After searching around, Liang Yuwei still did not catch her mother in the sea of people.
"Mom, where are you?"
Liang Yu shouted slightly, she suddenly regretted that she was too addicted to her mobile phone just now.
On this street more than 20 years ago, the young Liang Fanglian looked around for the young Liang Yuwei.
More than 20 years later, also on this street, the young Liang Yuwei began to look for the elderly Liang Fanglian.
Liang Yuwei doesn't know, is this a kind of reincarnation?
……
Behind the Agricultural Bank of China on the left side of Yan'an Road, there is an old alley, about three meters wide and 25 meters long. This alley is the memory of generations of old provincial people, many of whom were born, grew up here, and grew old here.
The yellowed street lamps, the dilapidated bicycle sheds, the big italics on the wall that inscribed the basic national policy of "fewer children, a happy life", and the graffiti of the children next to the big characters, silently witness the departure of one group of people and the return of another.
Liang Fanglian, a middle-aged woman who had just been snubbed by her daughter, came to this alley alone to see the old building in the depths of the alley that carried her good days.
Today, she lives in a luxurious villa of more than 400 square meters with her husband and children, but she always feels that the villa is fashionable, spacious, and luxurious, but also lacks something, and she still misses the liveliness of harmonious neighbors and mutual visits in the eighties and nineties.
She came here to see the bricks and tiles of the old houses, to see what they looked like after the vicissitudes of life, and to hear the stories they told about them over the years.
If you don't watch or listen again, you can only regret it in the future.
After all, these old houses will gradually disappear into new buildings rising from the ground within two years.
Several old neighbors on bicycles recognized her and exchanged a few words of greetings, and after the old neighbors left, a young and loud roar came from behind her, "Mom... I don't even know where you're going, can you tell me next time. You know, I'm worried about you. ”
Liang Yuwei ran to Liang Fanglian with a large bag and a small bag, panting and complaining.
She found a shopping mall from the supermarket, ran from the night stall to the optical store, searched for it, and was out of breath, only to suddenly remember that her mother had mentioned the demolition of the old house to her on the taxi that came to the city, so she hurried here.
As it turned out, she was right.
"Alright, daughter... Instead of watching you play with your mobile phone and chatting with netizens, it is better to come here to find feelings and pass the time. ”
"Mom... You always talk about feelings and the past, are these useful? If you have time, you might as well take care of your son Luo Yuchen, he is amazing, and on the first day of returning to China, he found a partner. ”
Liang Yuwei persuaded her mother.
"Heh... Speaking of Luo Yuchen, you have to take good care of him, he is your younger brother. Mom and Dad don't expect him to have the hard-working spirit and entrepreneurial ability like you, they just want him to be safe and happy. ”
"Mom..."
Liang Yuwei felt that his parents doted on Luo Yuchen too much, and wanted to make some suggestions, but he stopped because of the sudden thrilling astonishment on his mother's face.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Liang Yu asked her mother in surprise, her eyes followed her mother's gaze, and a second later, her peachy face also showed a trace of consternation!
The two-story old house that belongs to them is actually lit!
Liang Yuwei asked Liang Fanglian, "Mom, did you rent out the house?" ”
Liang Fanglian shook her head, "No, this place is going to be demolished, who will rent it to." ”
Not a tenant! Why do old houses shine?
A trace of uneasiness and surprise swept over Liang Yu's slight heart.
Could it be that Dad is here, or maybe my brother is fooling around with a woman?!
No, this place is a little quiet at night, Luo Yuchen will definitely not fool around here, he doesn't have that kind of courage, and he doesn't have that kind of nostalgia and retro feelings.
Since it's not Luo Yuchen, it can only be Dad!
"Mom, my broken phone is out of battery, you should call Dad! Ask him if he's in our old house! ”
Liang Yuwei walked forward and turned back to Liang Fanglian and said.
"Girl, you wait, you can go in when I finish calling!"
Liang Fanglian called out to Liang Yuwei and dialed the family cornet.
Three seconds later, she hung up the phone, "Weiwei, your dad is still in a meeting in the company, and the people in our old house are not your dad!" ”
"Who could that be? Let's check it out! ”
After Liang Yuwei finished speaking, he walked forward with a large bag and a small bag, and Liang Fanglian also followed her daughter to hold her breath and nervously went to the old house.
"Mom... If there's something going on, you run first! ”
"Weiwei, don't scare me, or let's call the police and let the police take a look."
"Mom... No, I don't believe there are ghosts, and besides, there are our old neighbors here, what are you afraid of, everyone can help if something happens. ”
…
The moonlight and the faint light of the street lamps twisted into a beam of golden light, illuminating Liang Yuwei's way home.
229 Wangyu Lane! What a familiar house number!
This is her childhood home.
She won't be mistaken, and neither will Liang Fanglian behind her!
There was a gurgling sound of running water coming from inside! A man's voice came from inside! The inside is filled with the fragrance of Master Kong's instant noodles!
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Liang Yuwei asked her mother, "Mom, are you sure you didn't rent the house to relatives?" ”
Liang Fanglian shook her head, "Absolutely not!" ”
Liang Yu nodded slightly, put down the shopping loot in his hand, and walked over and knocked on the door alone.
"Weiwei, let's call the police first, what if there are bad people living inside?"
Liang Fanglian said worriedly, although this is her former place, after all, after many years, plus it is night at this time, this quiet and deep alley, it is difficult for her to imagine what cows, ghosts, gods and snakes will come out of it.
Before Liang Yuwei could answer, the familiar door was suddenly opened, and a stranger met her eyes.
This is a dark-skinned, thin-skinned man. In his hands, he was holding four leftover buckets of Master Kong's instant noodles.
"Who are you? Why live in my home? ”
Liang Yu stared at this young man with a somewhat delicate appearance and a little ragged clothes and said.
The other party threw the noodle bucket into the trash can and asked Liang Yuwei rhetorically, "Who are you?" ”
Liang Yu glared at him slightly, and said expressionlessly, "I am the owner of this house!" ”
The long-haired young man looked directly at Liang Yuwei, and his bright eyes flashed a hint of panic, but this panic was quickly replaced by a touch of suspicion.
Liang Yu ignored his ever-changing eyes slightly, and continued to ask, "Why do you live in my house?" If you don't explain it clearly, I'll call the police! ”
"You... You say you're a landlord, do you have a title deed? ”
"What kind of real estate certificate do we need for our house, you are really a thief and a thief! Daughter, let's call the police! ”
After Liang Fanglian finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and wanted to call the police.
When the long-haired young man heard Liang Fanglian, a middle-aged woman, say this, he was like a balloon that had been punctured, and he was deflated all of a sudden.
He walked over to her and said in a pleading tone, "Auntie, we just came, don't call the police." ”
"Just here? Where did it come from? Why live in my house?! You are trespassing, trespassing! ”
Liang Yu asked coldly.
"I'm from the north, and I can't help but live in your house today, because I don't have any money!"
The long-haired young man said flatly.
"If you don't have money, you live in my house? Is this my robber logic that I am poor and reasonable? Mom, let's call the police. ”
Liang Yuwei said to her mother, if it weren't for the fact that her iphone4 with a broken screen was out of power, she would have dialed 110 on the spot.
Inside the house, an old man's voice came, "Sanmao, who's coming outside?" ”
Is there anyone in there?
How many more people?
What does it have to do with him?
Liang Yuwei tried to see who was inside through the crack in the door, but was blocked by the long-haired young man, "I'm sorry, it's my mother inside, she's taking a bath, you wait to go in." ”
"Heh... I can't go in my own house yet? You've taken over our house, eating instant noodles, taking a shower, and why don't you let us in?! Is there anyone in the world who is so domineering as you? ”
"Daughter, forget it, forget it, since the young man and his mother are taking a bath, then wait a while, it's not too bad for a few minutes."
Liang Fanglian comforted Liang Yuwei.
Liang Yu sighed slightly and obeyed his mother's words.
She was glad that her mother was present for the other party, if there was no mother in these scenes, with her Liang Yuwei temper, she would definitely not be so easy to speak.
"Okay, we'll give you a few minutes! Tell me, when did you move into my house? ”
"Yesterday!"
"Why don't you stay in a hotel, don't live in a relative's house, but stay at my house?"
"I have no relatives and no money!"
“……”
Liang Yuwei was almost crazy, she found that she couldn't talk to him at all.
She turned her back, unwilling to face the stranger, who seemed difficult to communicate with.
The soft moonlight makes the long deep alley seem a little quiet, but the air is not so fresh, and the atmosphere is not so harmonious.
This kid, I'm really poor and reasonable, except for calling the police, I can't communicate with him.
"Mom... Let's call the police! ”
The impatient Liang Yuwei wanted the police to solve the problem, and a creak of opening the door made her turn around.
The door opened, and inside the house, a scene shocked her and her mother.
