After saying goodbye to Aunt Li, Mo Bai took Qin Bing into an alley not far away.

On both sides of this alley are not apartments built after the establishment of the living quarters, but old houses that have existed here in the first place.

Originally, after the establishment of the living area, the Provisional Government intended to demolish all these houses and use them to build apartments to ensure that there were enough houses, but this plan was scrapped due to the joint resistance of all the residents in this area.

For example, Aunt Li, who she just met, including the other uncles and aunts she mentioned, all live in this area.

And the old house where Mo Bai and his parents originally lived was also in this category.

"This is it."

Turning around in the alley, the two finally came to an old house, the door was tightly locked, and it looked like no one had lived in it for a long time.

"You used to live here?"

Qin Bing looked at it curiously, feeling that this old house still had a lot of charm.

"That's right, we lived in this house for 19 years, and it was only vacated after my parents had an accident and I was admitted to a psychiatric hospital."

Mo Bai stretched out his hand and rubbed the door, his eyes were full of nostalgia, and then he walked to the right side of the door with his memory, took the fifth brick from the left in the third row, and took out one of the keys that was already a little rusty.

"Whew—

The key is still there and the lock is intact, indicating that no one should have been in for more than a year. ”

Mo Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and then took the key and opened the door.

"Please come in."

He turned his head and smiled at Qin Bing, stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, and after Qin Bing entered, he immediately walked in and came to the small courtyard behind the door.

Looking at this small courtyard, Mo Bai's mind suddenly flooded with memories, once upon a time his father trained him here over and over again, until he was exhausted and convulsed.

It was a painful memory, but it was also very happy, because at the end of each training session, my mother would bring out a fragrant, hot meal and beckon the father and son to come and eat......

While Mo Bai was gobbling up the meal, his mother would also use a hot towel to help him apply it all over his body to help relieve his body aches.

It was a completely different day from someone else's home, but it was really beautiful, very warm, and unforgettable.

"I didn't expect your family to be quite special......"

Qin Bing looked at the courtyard, his face showing a look of novelty.

It's no wonder, not to mention that after the fog appeared, even before that, most people had already lived in high-rise apartments, and many people had never even seen this kind of old bungalow with a yard.

"My dad said that this house is my ancestral home, and my family has lived here for generations, and not only my family, but many residents in this area are like this.

When the living area was established before, the above originally wanted to use this area to build more apartment buildings, but under the desperate resistance of the neighbors, the bungalows were finally left. ”

Mo Bai explained while looking at everything familiar in the courtyard.

"I see, I think it's good."

Qin Bing nodded, feeling very interesting.

"Okay, there hasn't been anyone living here for more than a year, the house and the yard are very dirty, if we want to live, we have to clean and clean first, and come to help."

Mo Bai beckoned to Qin Bing, then bent down and pulled out the weeds at his feet casually, and then he walked to the utility room on the side and took out a broom, mop and a bunch of rags.

"Come, I'll sweep and mop the floor, you can help me wipe the tables, chairs and beds, let's divide up and work together, it shouldn't be long."

As he spoke, he threw the rag in his hand to Qin Bing, and he took the broom and began to clean it.

Qin Bing took the rag, first stunned for a moment, and then a smile flashed in her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face.

Without saying anything more, she picked up the rag and walked into the kitchen, then came out with a basin of water and began to wipe the dust off the table.

As the saying goes, men and women are not tired of working together, and these two people cooperate with each other, and it is really much easier to do the work.

An hour had passed, and the yard had been basically cleaned, and the two of them began to tidy up in the house and make some preparations for making bed covers and pillows.

The old house of the Mo family has a total of two bedrooms, one is white, and the other is for the father and mother.

Mo Bai naturally chose his original bedroom, leaving the larger master bedroom to Qin Bing, and at this time he was walking back and forth in his room with the door closed, thinking about what was next.

He brought Qin Bing here this time, firstly, because Qin Bing's duty was to assist him, and he couldn't get rid of it if he wanted to; The second is because he wants to take the opportunity to see if Qin Bing is also related to the matter of the mole, and wants to design to make him exposed.

This time, Mo Bai came to the fifth district, except for Wang Mu, no one else knew, and it was impossible for him to leak the news.

So he wanted to see if the Fifth District Bureau would be prepared to use some means to deceive his hearing and hearing.

Of course, there is also a possibility that Mo Bai guessed wrong, and there was nothing wrong with the Fifth District Bureau, but this did not prevent him from testing Qin Bing, no matter what, he could gain something.

Thinking about it, Mo Bai sat on the chair in front of the desk, which used to be his favorite place to think, and as soon as he sat down, he felt that his whole mind was becoming more and more calm.

Before he knew it, his hand reached for the drawer and slowly pulled it open, revealing one of the old picture frames.

In the frame, there is an old yellowed photograph of a man, a woman and a boy frozen in the picture.

The man had a serious face, dressed in a crisp white suit, shiny leather shoes, and held a shiny cane in his hand......

The woman had a gentle expression, dressed in a long black dress with high heels, and a black top hat with a veil on her head......

Look at the little boy again, he grinned happily with a small mouth, and was wearing a white shirt and suspenders, and small leather shoes on his feet, and his hair was combed back and shiny.

There is no need to ask, these three people are naturally father, mother and Mo Bai, but they were the same as many years ago.

This is the first group photo of Mo Bai at home since he was born, and he can't help but fall into memories.

He lowered his head, his eyes kept flickering, and the scenes of the past seemed to flash in front of his eyes, and he wanted to stretch out his hand, but he also knew that he couldn't touch it.

Mo Bai understands that the past time can never be returned, but he can't help but think about it, as if as long as his thoughts continue, time will not continue to flow.

Long......

"Alas......"

A long sigh echoed through the room.

Mo Bai slowly raised his head to look at his father, and muttered in his mouth:

"Dad, can we still be reunited as a family?"

【…… Absolutely. 】
