Chapter 3 Settlement
The three mothers saw their man coming out, and hurriedly motioned for him to take a look at Li Heng.
"Like whom?" The third master was a little surprised by his daughter-in-law's reaction, but he still lifted his glasses and looked over.
This look startled him: "Xiaoyuan? You're not...... No, no, this comrade looks older, and he is also far darker than the younger, what's going on? ”
As he spoke, he looked at his daughter-in-law and then at Xiao Meng.
"Third master, this is Li Yuan's eldest brother, Teacher Li's eldest son."
"Oh, I remembered, I heard Lao Li mention it before, you are Li ...... Li Heng, right? ”
As soon as Xiao Meng explained, the three masters reacted.
Their family and the Li family both live in the front yard, and they are both teachers, so the natural relationship is closer, plus Li's father is a generous person who doesn't like to care, and he often invites Yan Bugui to his house for two drinks when he has nothing to do.
As long as the third master's temperament can take advantage of him, he is his good friend.
At the end of last year, the Li family's father and son had an accident, and he shed a few tears, and he didn't know if he was crying for someone, or because he was crying because of the lack of someone who took advantage of him.
"Hello the third master, I am Li Heng, you can call me Erheng, and you can also call the third mother."
"Okay, good," the three masters nodded busily.
Li Heng looked at the young version of the three masters and the three mothers, and the trance mood when he suddenly saw the three masters just now also calmed down.
It's nothing to live in this yard, it's still lively, it's a little early, and I guess there's no melon to eat.
"Xiao Meng, Er Heng, go in and sit, what are you doing at the door." The third master opened his mouth and invited.
"Brother Li, let's go in."
"Let's go"
Walk through the gate, bypass the shadow wall, and you will come to the front yard.
If this three-entry courtyard house is said to be the prince's mansion of the previous dynasty, it is simply impossible, if a prince lives in such a large courtyard, it is also a bit too pitiful, at most it is the residence of a dignitary.
The verandahs on both sides and the hanging flower doors leading to the middle courtyard are all mottled in color to tell the world about its early glory.
Today is not a day off, adults and children should go to school, go to work, the third master is at home because there is no class for him this morning, plus the front yard is not counted as the Li family, there are only two houses, and the yard seems very quiet.
As for the middle courtyard and the backyard, there must be someone at home at this time, but because they are far away, they haven't heard the movement in the front yard yet.
Xiao Meng asked for the key from Li Heng's hand, walked straight to the west room and opened the door, and with his movements, a burst of dust rose in the room.
No one has cleaned it up for several months, and the thickness of the dust in the house can be imagined.
Li Heng stood at the door and looked left and right, and there was a coal shed under the eaves, but unfortunately it was empty.
His father and his younger brother had an accident in November, and it stands to reason that the coal for the winter should have been stockpiled, but now it is empty, and it must have been used up by the people in this yard, as for who? Hehe.
The three masters standing behind may have also noticed Li Heng's gaze, and he touched his nose a little embarrassed.
He hasn't practiced until he gets to the point where he will be ten years later.
However, Li Heng didn't care too much, if it was gone, it would be gone, he had coal capital, and then he could buy it.
When the dust in the room had cleared, he walked in.
No wonder Director Wang said that the house is big, it is indeed relatively large, and it looks like there are thirty square meters, not to mention living in him, it is easy and pleasant for a family of three or four to live.
Dad Li and Xiaoyuan separated the room, and the place where they entered was equivalent to a mixed functional area of living room plus kitchen and dining room, and part of the south side was a bedroom, and the north side was also separated out as a bedroom, and the father and son did not interfere with each other.
"Brother Li, I'll help you clean up." Xiao Meng said that, he picked up the basin on the basin shelf next to the door and prepared to go out to fetch water.
"No need Xiao Meng, you go and get busy with you, I'm okay today, just take it slowly."
"It's okay, Brother Li."
"I really don't need Xiao Meng, I'm not polite to you, I'll just come by myself."
Seeing Li Heng's non-fake expression, Xiao Meng hesitated, and then didn't insist, he is still a temporary worker in the street office and has not been regularized, although the director sent him out, but it is really not good not to go back for a long time.
"That'...... Okay Brother Li, then you clean up slowly, I'll go back first, uh...... I have to take this lock back, this is a public thing, we don't usually need to lock the door in a yard like this, just close it when people go out. ”
In these years, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that the night is not closed, and the road is not left behind, but it is not bad, and the vigilance of the people is really not casually said.
Living in this kind of yard really doesn't need to lock the door, if you lock your door, wait, it's strange if the neighbors don't poke your backbone in the back, who are you guarding against?
"I know, thank you Xiao Meng, you have time to come to play at home."
"Hey, okay Brother Li, then you're busy, I'll go first."
Xiao Meng turned around and said hello to the three masters and three aunts standing in the courtyard, and walked out of the gate.
After he went out, the third master walked to the door of Li Heng's house, poked his head in and asked, "Er Heng, do you need help?" ”
"No need for the three masters, I'll just come by myself, I just don't have anything to do today."
If you really want to help, what is there to ask, just do it and it's over.
"Erheng, have you come back for work assignment now?"
"It's divided" Li Heng walked to the place separated from the south and looked at it, this should be where his father lived before his death.
"It's at the recycling station under our street."
"Yes, good unit, good unit. What's that, Erheng, you clean up first, I'll go to school later, so I won't talk to you. ”
"Okay, the third master, you are busy with yours, and you will live in a courtyard in the future, and you can talk at any time."
"Hey, yes, we'll be on the right door in the future, and we have a lot of time."
Seeing Yan Bugui turn around and leave, Li Heng shook his head with a smile, and then looked at the hanging flower gate leading to the middle courtyard, living in a courtyard house that was ten years away from the beginning of the story, it should be more interesting than imagined.
He didn't think any further, but went to the door, took the basin, and went out, connected a basin of water on the sink table, sprinkled some water on the floor of the house to prevent dust from flying all over the sky, and opened all the windows in the house to let in some wind.
Now I came to the place where my father lived before, dismantled all the quilts and mattresses on the bed, took out the cotton net cover and hung it on the rope for drying clothes in the yard, and put the removed quilt cover on the ground at the door, ready to wash it later.
Then there is the side where my brother used to live, and I continue to demolish it.
