Winter 1980.

Cheng Guanli returned to the old alley in the Dongzhimen of Sijiu City.

He is not from this world, and the sudden accidental death of the original owner allowed him to travel to this parallel world, and inherited the memory of the original owner, Cheng Guanli.

When he first crossed over, Cheng Guanli's career in the Great Northwest had just begun, and now 4 years have passed.

Three years ago, people learned the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, and many people wanted to change their lives and try their best to return to the city to take the college entrance examination.

But at that time, going back was not a formal procedure, and most of them made a sick return procedure and returned to the city through loopholes.

Cheng Guanli didn't take that step.

At that time, he was only 17, and he had just been in the queue for a year, and he knew that he could go back sooner or later, so there was nothing to worry about.

And if you go back early and can't stretch your hands and feet, you have to worry about finding a job, so it's better to exercise outside for a few more years.

He waited until 80 years later, when the state promulgated a clear rule that he could return to the city, and then went through the formalities to return to the capital.

The parents of this world are gone, leaving him with four houses in the courtyard.

The courtyard in the Dongzhimen, the 60-square-meter large house in the middle courtyard has three bright and two dark rooms, and a small partial house of 15 square meters.

To be honest, this was the first time he had seen the old alleys of Sijiu City with his own eyes, and it was really different from the feeling of remembering it.

The twists and turns of the old alleys, the quaint courtyards, the pedestrians on the road greet each other warmly, and a group of whistle pigeons fly over under the bright sunshine, and there is a unique breath of life precipitated in it.

The courtyard where Cheng Guanli lives is handed down from his ancestors, with three courtyards and more than 20 houses.

Now it has become a compound where more than 20 families live, and he only has a big house in the main courtyard, with a small ear room on the side.

"The courtyard house in Dongzhimen, 80 years, isn't this comfortable life coming? The hardships of 4 years of joining the team are also worth it! ”

Cheng Guanli smiled slightly, picked up his luggage, and strode into the courtyard.

He didn't have time to greet his neighbors in the front yard door to door, so he trotted back to the middle yard.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was exactly what he had guessed.

The house is already occupied.

In the backyard of this quadrangle, there is also his second uncle Cheng Dehai's family.

said that he was the second uncle of the near door, but in fact, he was not related by blood, and he had already come out of the five suits, and he even wondered if it was a family.

Cheng Dehai also has an old lady alive, and Cheng Guanli calls her grandmother.

Before the liberation, there was a famine, and Cheng Dehai's father came to the capital with his wife and children to beg for a living.

Later, he became friends with Cheng Guanli's grandfather, saying that he was the brother of the Yuan branch of the Cheng family, and moved into the courtyard naturally after liberation.

The relationship between the two families is closer than that of other residents.

But that was decades ago, and there is no point in researching it.

He doesn't have a good impression of Cheng Dehai, and in his memory, this cousin is honest and bright on the surface, but he is actually selfish and selfish, and he is too shady in his work.

Cheng Guanli's father died on the job five years ago, and he died of gas poisoning while working the night shift in the back kitchen canteen of the machinery factory in the winter.

At that time, Cheng Guanli was in the second year of junior high school and became an orphan directly.

Cheng Dehai helped deal with the aftermath, and generously said that he would take care of Cheng Guanli, who had no parents.

After receiving the pension on behalf of Cheng Guanli, he did let him eat with him for a few months in a decent manner.

But after Cheng Guanli graduated from junior high school in the second year, he was arranged to join the team in the northwest.

Cheng Guanli can take over his father's position without going to the countryside to join the queue, even if he goes to the back kitchen of the machinery factory as an apprentice, it stands to reason that he has a place.

But after Cheng Dehai operated a few times, he gave the quota to his eldest son, Cheng Jianwen, who was the same age as Cheng Guanli.

At that time, Cheng Guanli was young and helpless, and died suddenly in an accident not long after arriving in the northwest.

Fortunately, Cheng Guanli, another parallel world, crossed over, otherwise he would have really followed Cheng Dehai's wishes.

He didn't tell Cheng Dehai in advance when he came back this time, and at this time, the second uncle's family was having lunch at the house in the west of the backyard.

After looking at the furnishings at home, Cheng Guanli frowned slightly.

There is a photo of Cheng Jianwen on the bedside desk, which is a photo of the winning of the sports meeting held in the factory, and the spring breeze is so proud.

Thinking about the past four years, Cheng Guanli didn't feel good in his heart.

"Do you really think this house is your home? I'm not the cowardly orphan anymore, and when I'm back, it's time for you to move out! ”

Syllable!

Cheng Guanli took a photo of Cheng Jianwen face down on the table and threw the luggage on the bed.

Then I tidied up my clothes, and went to the backyard to say hello with a gift.

Etiquette still has to be talked about, after all, there is no falling out with Cheng Dehai's family now.

In the eyes of outsiders, Cheng Dehai took care of him, and even Cheng Dehai's family helped take care of the house, so no matter what he did, he couldn't lose the superficial reason first.

If the other party is unreasonable, it will be easy to do, and I am afraid that the other party will wield a moral stick to suppress it.

Therefore, Cheng Guanli, who returned to the city alone, could not be negligent in every step.

"Second grandma, second uncle and second aunt, I'm back! Jianwen and Jianwu, I haven't seen you for four years, and you've all joined the work, it's good. ”

Smack!

Seeing Cheng Guanli suddenly appear at the door, Mrs. Cheng's hands trembled, and the chopsticks fell on the table unconsciously.

The old woman rubbed her eyes, and her originally happy face twitched unconsciously.

He smiled awkwardly: "Oh, watching the ceremony? Kid, you, you're back? ”

"Well, yes, Grandma Er, are you okay? In the past four years in the Northwest, I have often thought about you. ”

"Oh, silly boy, I'm in good health, come on, come on, haven't eaten, sit down!"

Cheng Guanli smiled slightly, "No, Grandma, I ate a bowl of fried noodles after getting off the train, this pastry and fruit I sold to you in the Qianmen Building, I came to see you, and by the way, I reported to the second uncle, I came back from the queue." ”

Cheng Dehai came back to his senses, frowned, and said with a slight smile: "Why didn't you send a telegram before you came back?" Have you completed all the formalities for returning from the local area? ”

"Second uncle, I thought about picking up my bag and leaving, it's much more convenient, I'm afraid that you are busy with work, go to the station to borrow me to delay time, so I didn't report to you in advance, rest assured, the procedures for my return are not bad, and I will hand it over to the street office before entering the gate, and my personnel file has been established, just waiting to find a job to work."

The second aunt Liu Aimei said with a smile: "This child has really grown up, look at this thing, act resolutely, for fear that we will not let him come back, alas, what a stupid child, in this three-entry miscellaneous courtyard, we are our own family!" ”

Cheng Guanli said with a smile: "The second aunt is right, aren't I afraid of delaying the second uncle's work?" ”

Cheng Dehai nodded and said: "Okay, it's good to come back, have a reunion dinner together in the evening, you will go to the small ear room to clean up, first squeeze your brother Jianwu for a while, your brother Jianwen is about to get married, the house in the factory has not been approved yet, live in your big house for the time being, and then return it to you after the new house is approved." ”

Eighteen-year-old Cheng Jianwu said with a smile: "Second brother, squeeze at night, right?" Let's talk about it first, I'm snoring and grinding my teeth in my sleep, you have to bear with it. ”

Cheng Jianwen is a few months older than Cheng Guanli, and when this kid sees Cheng Guanli coming back, he can obviously see the disgust.

It's just that Pi smiled and nodded, and didn't even say a word to Cheng Guanli.

Cheng Guanli looked at the family, nodded, and left with a slight smile.

I thought: This is to occupy my house with both hard and soft.

It's you who are unreasonable and let me go to the small side house to squeeze it, and the big house will be Jianwen's wedding room.

Then don't blame me for embarrassing you.

Anyway, I don't have any feelings with your family, and if I fall out, I will fall out, and the house is the bottom line, and I can't let you get half a point.
