Cao Zhiqiang, who was in a sighing mood, quickly pushed the car and came to his door along the verandah, and immediately found that the window of the south room of the house had been opened.

This shows that the little sister Cao Lili has come back from school.

Because since the death of his mother, Cao Zhiqiang lived in the relatively dark north house by himself, and gave the south house with a better orientation to his sister Cao Lili, so the south house is now Cao Lili's personal room.

As for the kitchen and living room, they are all in the earthquake room that was built at the beginning.

That is to say, this set of the original set of two east wings, because of the westward extension of a set of earthquake houses, the area of the whole house has nearly doubled than the original, and the total area has reached 60 square meters, becoming a proper set of three rooms, in addition to the lighting is still almost, other aspects are still very good.

Now that the window of the south room is open, it must be Cao Lili reading and writing homework in her room.

It's already approaching evening, and it's still overcast, so the indoor lighting at this time is not very good.

And reading and writing homework need sufficient light, otherwise it is not good for the eyes, and you will not be able to see the textbook clearly.

Therefore, although it will be cold when you open the window, it will allow more light to shine in, so that you can turn on the lights for a while and save more electricity.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed faintly.

Speaking of which, since the death of Lin Meili, the cheap mother, or since Cao Zhiqiang crossed over.

In my impression, the sister Cao Lili, who is not related by blood, has always been very shy, very taciturn and does not like to speak.

She is obviously still a child, but now, except for occasionally responding to Cao Zhiqiang's words, she usually has a straight face, expressionless, and does not smile.

After Lin Meili died, she has become more silent now, basically does not communicate with other people, and is very afraid of life, especially afraid of strange men touching her, and she does not have the innocent romance of a child at all.

This kind of performance made Cao Zhiqiang feel distressed and worried.

It's a pity that Cao Zhiqiang is not a child psychologist, and he is not good at coaxing children, so he can only take care of her as much as he can, especially in the material situation.

At the very least, she now has meat to eat, goat's milk to drink every day, and there is never a shortage of vegetables and fruits, so she is already much better than many of her peers.

Of course, this is only temporary, and in the future, with more and more income, Cao Zhiqiang believes that Cao Lili's life will only get better.

As for blood relations or something, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that although this sister is not amazing, her appearance and figure are ordinary, but with her demeanor and expression, she looks very weak and helpless, and she looks like she has a desire to protect.

Raising this sister is much better than raising a cat in the previous life.

It's really strange, how could Cao Zhiqiang, who was before, be willing to look down on this sister in all kinds of ways, and bully her in all kinds of ways?

This is obviously a cute thing to be held in the palm of your hand and cared for!

Forget it, that's all before!

Anyway, from now on, this cute girl's life will be guarded by me!

After suddenly thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help but smile slightly.

After that, he didn't say anything, parked the car in the verandah in front of his house, didn't care about the contents of the basket, and didn't care about the pork belly, but first untied the rope from the back seat of the car, then picked up the tape recorder, kicked the door open, and strolled to the living room.

After entering the living room, I found that the stove had been lit, and this must have been my sister's handiwork.

This sister is really diligent, I really didn't say it.

Of course, you can also make yourself warmer.

It's early spring, and it's just a few days into the third month of the solar calendar.

At this time, the temperature in the capital is still quite low, which is the so-called inverted spring cold.

Especially in the morning and evening, although it is not below zero, it is also quite cold.

Therefore, everyone in the courtyard still has to burn the stove in the house to keep warm at this time, otherwise they can't stand it.

The main body of Cao Zhiqiang's coal stove is in the earthquake room that was built privately, but the chimney of the stove is T-shaped, and there are two chimneys that go to the south room and the north room, and then exhaust smoke from the roofs of these two rooms respectively.

In this way, the south and north rooms can also be slightly warmer.

This kind of structure of heating with a chimney is certainly not comparable to heating methods such as heating and floor heating, but it is better than no chimney heating.

The structure of the old courtyard house is like this, unless it is overhauled and overhauled, and in terms of the quality of life, it is really inferior to modern buildings.

After entering the house, Cao Zhiqiang felt the warmth in the room, smiled slightly, and then put the tape recorder on the living room dining table, and began to unpack.

He decided not to call his sister out for now, and to surprise her later.

Soon, he unpacked it, pulled it through, plugged it in, and pulled out a tape and put it into the tape recorder.

At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling outside, and there was a sudden thunderstorm.

Immediately after, a ticking sound sounded, and a light rain began to fall.

Cao Zhiqiang stopped his hand and turned his head to look out the window.

"Good rain knows the season, when spring happens, it's a good omen."

Smiling slightly, Cao Zhiqiang was no longer busy playing the tape recorder.

Get up and go to the cupboard.

Pull open the cabinet door and take out two tin jars, a small white porcelain jar.

Pour a little instant Panama Geisha coffee powder from the black ceramic jar and pour it into the enamel jar.

Pour a little instant Alpine goat milk powder from a white ceramic jar and pour it into the enamel jar as well.

Then pour a little white sugar from another porcelain jar and pour it into the enamel jar as well.

After carefully looking around, and when he found that there was no one, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and conjured a military kettle out of thin air.

Open the stopper of the military kettle, and inside is piping hot water.

Brewed a cup of fragrant coffee with hot water and took a deep breath.

The aroma of coffee immediately lingers in the nose and chest.

Well, the reason why this is the case is Cao Zhiqiang's temporary idea.

After all, there is a guy who can install it very well, but then the car overturned didn't he say it.

Life is not only about what is in front of you, but also about poetry and distance.

Poetry and distance are not necessary first, but it is also necessary to live a life with a sense of ritual.

Otherwise, how boring the days are?

It's like now.

With the beginning of the spring rain.

Sip Panama Geisha coffee brewed with boiling Fijian water mixed with Italian Alpine goat's milk.

With a domestic boutique tape recorder.

Listen to Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music in the 80s.

It's very ceremonial, very bourgeoisie, and very flavorful!

Pretending to be someone else, that's called pretending to be thirteen, or pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.

Do it for yourself, that's what you know and understand life.

After smiling and nodding, Cao Zhiqiang, who was in a happy mood, gently pressed the play button, and the tape recorder began to operate.

Soon, a melodious voice came out of the stereo speakers:

Who's banging on my window

Who's tickling the strings

That forgotten time

Gradually, it came back out of my heart

……

Accompanied by that melodious "Forgotten Time".

And the sound of rain ticking outside the house.

Cao Zhiqiang gently took a sip of instant coffee brewed with 85 degrees Celsius Fijian water, mixed with Italian Alpine goat instant milk powder and Panama Geisha instant coffee powder.

After closing his eyes, Cao Zhiqiang sighed deeply.

What he has experienced after crossing over.

It began to be accompanied by the sound of rain and music.

Skip it in front of your eyes like a movie flash.
