Chapter 44 Who can be called an actor among the people

Looking at it in the car, this area is already relatively remote, and before the expansion of Wuqing, this place should have been out of the scope of Chengguan Town.

According to the old brother Ma who was the gatekeeper, this area is being demolished, and this time has attracted many people to come to the old house, especially a person surnamed Chen's house is very lively, and I heard that a lot of things have been vacated.

As soon as I rolled down the window, Chang Xian smelled a strange smell, and there was a cross-flow of sewage on the ground, and when I pushed open the car door, I felt a little helpless.

After getting off the car, carefully avoid the dirty water on the ground, and when I got here, I didn't dare to use the three wheels, so I had to learn from Zhao Lirong and turn back step by step.

Looking at this environment, Chang Xian couldn't help but shake his head, this poor man suffers at any time, all the way to the road in this alley, the paving is higher than the yard, and these houses remove the steps, and are lower than the yard, thanks to the lack of rain in Jinmen, if it rains, I am afraid it will be backfilled.

The shadow of the copper coin was placed empty, indicating that the demolition of this area should have been completed, and almost all the people had gone to the empty building.

Thirty or fifty paces ahead, the drainage ditch in the alley seemed to be blocked, and the ground was full of sewage.

Chang Xian had to be like a big horse monkey, while finding a clean foothold, and at the same time, he had to let the people who occasionally walked out of the alley, not only him, but also the people who walked in the alley, all jumped up and down.

Erase the color, like the mime of old Shanghai.

……

"Collect old furniture, old porcelain, jade seals, bamboo, wood and bronze, and the four treasures of the study!"

It was easy to walk to the door, and I turned on the horn at a leisurely time, but the gate of the courtyard was empty, and I don't know who chopped it to burn firewood.

Chang Xian walked directly into the courtyard and knocked on a door that looked dark from the window.

"Anyone? Receiving Used Goods......"

With the sound of the door, there was no movement in the door, but a door opened next to it, and a girl with messy hair like a chicken coop stuck out her head to take a look, and closed the door again.

"There's no one in the house, right?"

Stamped his feet outside, and said secretly in his heart.

"Lao Chen, Master Chen, are you at home?"

Chang Xian talked and knocked on the door again.

"Oh, Laile, I've kept you waiting!"

As he spoke, the door was pulled open from the inside, the curtain was lifted, and a man came out of it.

This man was polite, probably because he heard the shouts of the old goods that were often collected at leisure, and he didn't ask, so he welcomed him in.

Chang Xian walked into the house with a short head, and looked around, the house was empty, and it was estimated that it was almost moved, and if it was a day or two late, there might be no one here.

Lao Chen's family seems to be relatively depressed, and the light bulbs in the house are still the kind of cables. A long rope is pulled from the wall at the door to the head of the bed, which is convenient, people don't have to get out of bed, they can reach it with their hands.

There was a man lying on the bed, unsightly, with long hair scattered outside, and the occasional cough and trembling seemed to be out of breath, and when she saw a guest coming in, the woman did not squeak, and got up and turned around and went to the back room.

In the middle of the hall, there is a coal stove, the chimney sticks out of the window, and there is a medicine jar on the stove, which is gurgling and I don't know what decoction is boiling, and a smell mixed with angelica and codonopsis wafts out, but it is not unpleasant, just now it is estimated that Lao Chen is boiling medicine.

"Please sit down, please sit down, don't be surprised by the cold at home......"

The old master Chen hurriedly gave up his seat to Chang Xian, and then reached out and pulled the light away, the difference between turning on the light and not turning it on is not very big, because the small bulb that emits a yellow glow does not play much role at all.

Chang Xian casually took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Master Chen.

"Oh, it's China, it's your light today?"

Master Chen took the cigarette and glanced at it, put it on his nose and sniffed it vigorously, not in his mouth, but on his ear, to see that the posture was to be savored.

Chang Xian didn't have an addiction to smoking, and seeing that Lao Chen didn't smoke, he also put the cigarette back, looked at it and said: "Old Master Chen, your house still has to be ventilated and exposed to the sun often, otherwise it will not be good for your health."

"Hey, I'm at this age, one day at a time, I don't care if I'm in good health......"

Master Chen sighed and sat down cross-legged on the edge of the bed.

As he spoke, he took a closer look at this Master Chen, he should be sixty-five or sixteen years old, he was not very tall, he was a little fat, the hair on his head was almost falling out, a bare brain was shining brightly, and he could see the folds of flesh on the back of his neck when he turned around.

Looking at this face, if you change your clothes again, you should have the style of a boss, not like the people who live in this place.

It's just that this Master Chen smiled, revealing a simple image, a bit like the "Mao Erye" in the people of the capital.

……

"It's insulting to say it. I think that the ancestor Xiufeng Gong was the commander of the Beijing-Tianjin garrison, the army general, and the general of the general's mansion. There are countless industries in Wudao, and they have also invested in Kailuan Coal Mine, Huaxin Yarn Factory, Zhongyuan Company, ......etc., and built a large courtyard with two gardens in Yangcun, but after liberation, they were all handed over to the public, and the government gave this small courtyard, and later lived in a few families, and they couldn't get rid of it......"

Master Chen didn't seem to have anyone to talk to him usually, and after he sat down, he started to talk to himself, and when he spoke, he took down the cigarette that was caught in his ear, lit it on the stove, and took a beautiful puff.

Listening to the words of Master Chen, the ancestor of his family was a big man in his early years, and he often walked around the Five Avenues. Guangyuan's former residence is on Borrows Road in the former British Concession, which is exactly in line with what this person said.

According to Lao Chen, his grandfather is Chen. Guangyuan's nephew, Ding Buwang of the Chen family, his grandfather did not stay in Jinmen, but returned to Wuqing's hometown to look at the ancestral house, and begged Tian Wenshe to be Tian Sheweng.

Before Lao Chen was liberated, he was served by his mother, and when he was seven or eight years old, he didn't know how to dress himself.

When his grandfather didn't die, he smoked big cigarette bubbles all day long, and then took his grandson to visit the Chinese theater.

According to Lao Chen, Mei Cheng Shangxun has played several famous scenes, and he was once stuffed with golden beans by his grandfather and thrown them on the stage.

It's just that it's time to come, and you can't hide from it.

When Tianjin was peacefully liberated, the old bottom of the old Chen family was revealed, and his old man, who was emptied of his body by eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, was simply closed, and he saw Lao Chen's grandfather go without a few strokes.

Everything in the house, whether yellow or white, soft or hard, was all gone.

Lao Chen, who was in his twenties, was guilty, and he would have been young and in good health, otherwise he would have been lying in that lonely grave.

Later, the implementation of the policy was returned to Lao Chen's small courtyard, and the yellow and white things were thought of, and there were still some dilapidated furniture in the bottles and jars, but they were also given to Lao Chen a lot, anyway, it was not worth much.

Although it has been a little difficult over the years, they are all left by their ancestors, and Lao Chen is not willing to sell, so he has stayed until now.
