Chapter 198: Mrs. Tong
Crossing the bridge is the old bungalow that the old janitor said.
In fact, it is not a western-style house, it is just a typical old building in Shanghai that combines Chinese and Western styles, and it used to be the residence of the middle class, but the bricks of the exterior wall have faded from red to dark brown over the years.
Before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large part of the people in Shanghai went abroad for various reasons, so these houses were all confiscated, and the old western-style houses also became public dormitory buildings.
There is electricity in the city, and there are many houses with lights on.
The old man only said this building, not which room, Song Enli could only knock on a random house and ask.
"Hello ......"
"Bang-"
"......" is not friendly at all.
Continuing to knock on the second house, the middle-aged woman in the door leaned out half of her body, her eyebrows hanging proudly, "What are you doing?" ”
At that moment, the light in her eyes had swept back and forth on Song Enli's body, and her eyebrows gradually flattened.
"Hello, where does Song Dazhuang live?"
"I know!" The meanness on the middle-aged woman's face resurfaced, followed by another "bang".
Song Enli touched the tip of his nose that was almost snorted, scolded angrily, and simply stood in the aisle and shouted, "Uncle, where are you in your house, uncle, I am a red flag, I came to find you." ”
All of a sudden, seven or eight families opened the door and came out, "I'm going to die soon, what are you shouting at night!" ”
A person came out of the small compartment under the stairs over there, there was no light inside, and the person was standing in the shadows again, Song Enli couldn't see clearly, but he heard the person suddenly shout "red flag" weakly.
Song Enli was stunned for a moment, and immediately rushed towards him, "Uncle! ”
The Kui Ye in front of him was even more embarrassed than when he just came out of the public security bureau a while ago, and the whole person lost weight again, looking like he was covered with bones, and he was wearing a blue cloth smock empty, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
"Uncle, how did you do this?" Obviously, she gave a lot of money and food,
"I'm sorry guys, I'm sorry to disturb, my eldest niece is not sensible when she first arrives, so take care of it." Kui Ye nodded at the people staring at the doors, and then pulled Song Enli into the compartment under the stairs, "Come in and talk about it." ”
Outside, there was a sound of doors slamming and slamming.
Song Enli carefully looked at the cubicle located under the stairs.
In fact, it can't even be called a compartment, and it is only one meter wide and more than three meters long and a narrow space, and one side is inclined downward, the more you go inside, the shorter it becomes, except for the position of the door, you have to bend down to enter.
Kui Ye set up a small wooden table at the door, no taller than her calf, next to a wooden bed on top of a few broken bricks, and only a blackened mattress on it, which was all the belongings.
"I said, uncle, didn't I leave a lot of things for me? How did you become so virtuous? There was no place to sit, so Song Enli could only stand against the wall and throw the burden on the low wooden table.
Suddenly there was a deafening sound of footsteps on the top.
"Wooden floors, not soundproof, let you be wronged." Kui Ye said apologetically.
"Why do people live in this place, you have to have a nervous breakdown after a long time."
"It's too late, and that's the house left."
"So to offend people, they are unanimously xenophobic, right?" No wonder those people just saw her as if they were enemies.
Kui Ye reported good news and not bad news in the letter, if he didn't come to this trip, Song Enli really thought how comfortable he was.
Although it's just that the relationship between the two is limited to cooperation, after all, Kui Ye has helped her do so much, and the two have escaped together, looking at his current embarrassment, Song Enli is still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"People everywhere are xenophobic, the same." Kui Ye climbed to the innermost part of the bed, demolished a brick on the wall inside, and took out a half-sized cloth bag from the hole in the wall, which was bulging, "Don't look at this compartment is small, like me, you can share part of the accommodation by adding a board, most people's housing is tight, and at night people sleep on top of each other, who in this building is not staring at this room, and suddenly it is occupied by me, an outsider, and I must be unconvinced." ”
Song Enli only knew after listening to what Kui Ye said, it turned out that this building was not a separate dormitory building of the acquisition station, but also lived in some other units, and the distribution model discussed on both sides was that whoever needed to apply for a report, in addition to the relatively loose approval of the newlyweds, others also needed proof of seniority, Kui Ye relied on the relationship of the truck driver to get it for the first time, so he was particularly offended.
Let's just say that the people at their acquisition station don't dare to do anything in the place where they work, and they can't make any effort to make things worse when they return to their residences, and they make the people in the whole building regard Kui Ye as a thorn in their eyes.
"When I first came, I didn't know, I thought it would be safe if the door was locked, but who knew that the door was pried by a few children, and all the things you gave them were emptied. Many people have a share, so they can only turn a blind eye, otherwise they will all offend people, and I can't stay in this place, so it's better for us to be too peaceful now. Kui Ye smiled and pointed to the old bedding on the simple wooden bed, "Later, I simply didn't buy it, so as not to cheapen others, so I specially bought the old bedding." ”
After being imprisoned and fleeing, he almost lost his life, Kui Ye is much more open than before, and everything is light.
Or maybe he has enough backers and doesn't take these trivial things into account for others.
Kui Ye made a boo gesture at her, lowering his voice very low.
Song Enli frowned and took the burden over, and it was upside down, quite heavy.
When I opened it, I saw that my pocket was full of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as the 1,200 yuan she gave to Kui Ye and 20 catties of national food stamps.
One of the things that caught her attention the most was a string of flail incense beads, the dull color of which was particularly low-key and special in the golden splendor.
Although the pearl of this material is not as valuable as the jade of the east pearl, it is more pleasing to her.
She took out all the treasures in it and put them into the space, leaving only the money ticket in it and handing it back to Kui Ye, "The things will be moved when they are moved, why don't you use the money ticket?" No wonder you're so skinny. ”
"My household registration is here, and the grain relationship is also at the purchasing station, and now I eat in the canteen of the purchasing station every meal, and I also save myself from buying things." Kui Ye rolled up the money ticket, stuffed it back into the hole in the wall, and knocked the bricks on it, "If there is no hole in this hole, I'm afraid these things would have been moved away by those rats." ”
"It's really damn, I can't sleep all night here when I look back and think of changing accommodations." Song Enli picked up his burden and put it on his chest, "I haven't had dinner yet, let's go out to eat first, and I'll talk about this matter in detail." ”
"Ugh." Kui Ye followed closely and locked the door carefully before leaving.
However, as soon as she got out of the old house, Kui Ye immediately whispered to her: "We have to go to a place to find someone first, she put those things here for her, waiting for your palm, I didn't dare to send them to you, so I can only ask you to come in person." ”
"I said, why didn't you spend a penny of money to get so many good things, where are the people?"
"You come with me."
Kui Ye took Song Enli around and around, and soon turned out of this series of alleys.
Most of the streets in Shanghai have street lights, and this place is obviously in disrepair, and it is like entering another desolate world, dilapidated and dark, even the moonlight is stingy, and only the sound of snoring can be faintly heard from the dozen or so black tent-like dwarf objects on the side of the road.
"You're waiting for me here." Kui Ye left her, walked lightly to one of the "black tents" and patted on the broken grass curtain that served as the door, "Mrs. Tong, Mrs. Tong ......"
"Here we are." The old lady's voice was steady.
"Ugh." Kui Ye got out of the way, and Mrs. Tong lifted the broken grass curtain and came out.
Too far away, Song Enli couldn't see his face clearly, he could only vaguely see the outline in the night, and his back was still straight.
"Follow me." Tong Atai brushed past Song Enli.
Song Enli and Kui Ye followed behind her.
I don't know why, Song Enli always has such a feeling, the suffering has not left a mark on this Tong Atai, although she looks so embarrassed.
Perhaps this is the style of the family.
Mrs. Tong took her on a detouring road than when she came just now, and the old lady seemed to be extremely familiar with this place, even if there was no street lamp to smear her.
