Chapter 165

Su Xiaoxiao also ate mutton brushed in an old copper pot in her previous life, but she never imagined that one day she would be able to sit in a courtyard in an old hutong in the capital decades ago, and eat a meal with Erba sauce while sitting on a big kang. Authentic old copper pot hot pot.

From the "Lucky Ruyi" on the doorpin of the courtyard, the drum stone on both sides of the door, the old man slowly opened the Ruyi door and walked out from the inside, the wall behind him with the word "Fu", the auspicious clouds made of blue bricks under his feet, and then to the The promenade of the hanging flower gate, the pomegranate tree in the main courtyard, various antique and auspicious carvings on the beams, etc., are the most primitive and authentic old alleys in the capital, which makes Su Xiaoxiao more certain that he must have one. Your own courtyard, even if it is not so big, it doesn't matter if it is smaller. The cubs can grow up in such a sentimental house, and the future pattern will definitely not be small.

Xiaoroubao likes to eat mutton the most. If he really wants to eat thin slices of mutton, he can kill a few dishes by himself, but his parents were taught that he could not eat alone. It's up to him to eat as much as his brother gives him. When the family eats, he won't ask to eat more no matter how much he wants to eat. Small meat buns are not picky eaters, so he can support himself. He also eats a lot of frozen tofu and white radish. He didn't put down his chopsticks until his belly was bulging.

Like a satisfied kitten, squinting to the old man, he said, "Grandpa's food is delicious!"

The little meat bun and the little glutinous rice ball are both very pleasing. The little glutinous rice ball is the kind of beautiful girl who makes people like it at a glance, and the little meat bun is inexplicably festive. Who would have seen such meat? Could the smiling cub not like it?

Lao Yang especially likes Xiaoroubao, and he is happy to see him eating. Seeing that he likes to eat mutton, if Su Xiaoxiao hadn't stopped him, he would have to cut another plate for Xiaoroubao.

Today is the happiest time for the old man to live most of his life. The thing that a man yearns for most when he is old is a family full of children and grandchildren. In the most difficult years, he felt that there was no hope for life. If he didn’t want to see his daughter-in-law and son, he felt alive. It's no fun, didn't expect such a happy old age to come.

From the moment of recognizing Xiaozhuzi, the old man felt that all the crimes he suffered were worth it.

The old man had two drinks, his face was radiant, and he looked at Xiaoroubao lovingly: "Xiaoroubao likes to eat, and I will ask Uncle Yang to make it for you every day in the future."

Xiaoroubao grinned and shook his head: "It's not good to eat it every day, I also want to eat roast duck and big elbows!"

The old man laughed heartily: "Okay, okay, then let's eat roast duck tomorrow and big elbow the day after tomorrow, we all listen to the small meat buns, let's not repeat the same every day!"

Xiaozhuzi wiped his mouth for his sister who had just eaten enough: "Grandpa, my sister likes to eat sweet cakes. Let Uncle Yang make crystal sweet-scented osmanthus cake for my sister tomorrow."

"Okay, okay," the old man said three times in a row, and gestured with Lao Yang, "Tomorrow, we will eat crystal sweet-scented osmanthus cake for breakfast, and we will also make our little pillar's favorite fried twist."

The old man asked again, "What do you like to eat with rice balls and bean buns? Uncle Yang can do everything, and grandpa asked him to make them for everyone to eat together."

Xiaodoubao shook his head and said, "Grandpa, my brother and I are not picky eaters, we like to eat everything."

The old man touched Xiaodoubao's head: "What a good boy, they are all good boys, you are tired from the train today, have a good sleep, and when you wake up tomorrow, grandpa will take you out to play."

Everyone had been on the train for dozens of hours, and they didn't sleep well on the train. They were really tired. After washing up, they went back to their rooms in the morning after they had cleaned up their kangs and rested.

The courtyard has a dozen or so rooms in general, and there are several rooms in the east and west wing alone. The couple, Yali and Su Xiaoxiao, took a small glutinous rice ball and walked to the east wing. The four boys slept together on the large kang in the west wing.

It was the first time that the three rice ball brothers slept on a big kang, and they were very novel.

The rice ball said, "The kang is so hot, will your butt burn at night?"

Xiaozhuzi shook his head: "No, the charcoal fire will become cold after it is extinguished. If you don't add charcoal at night, it will be too cold to wake up in the morning, but Uncle Yang usually gets up and adds charcoal fire once. He doesn't listen."

Xiaoroubao had a lot of meat and fat and was not very afraid of cold. After lying down for a while, his little face was flushed: "Brother Zhuzi, I feel so hot."

There is a chamber pot in the wing, and the small pillars let the two younger brothers go to pee first, and then help them take off two clothes when they come back: "You don't need to wear so many clothes to sleep, but if you want to pee at night, you must put on your clothes first. Otherwise, you'll catch a cold, you know?"

Xiaodoubao and Xiaoroubao nodded: "I know."

Xiaozhuzi changed Xiaoroubao into a thinner quilt and wrapped little fellow: "Is it still hot now?"

Xiaorou Bao shook his head: "It's not hot, it's so comfortable."

Xiao Zhuzi rubbed his brother's head: "Then go to sleep."

Xiaoroubao was already too sleepy, and he almost fell asleep after saying "Good night, Brother Zhuzi".

"Does Xiaodoubao feel hot?" Xiaozhuzi asked Xiaodoubao.

Xiaodou shook his head: "It's not hot when you take off your clothes."

Xiao Zhu touched his brother's head again: "When it is hot, you have to tell your brother, can you carry it?"

Xiao Dou Bao nodded obediently: "Know, brother Chuzi good night."

Xiaozhuzi helped him tuck the quilt: "close the eyes, go to sleep, good night."

Onigiri was reading with a book in his hand, and heard Xiao Zhuzi serving his two younger brothers like a female servant, "Tsk tsk": "Our brother Zhuzi is becoming more and more like a big brother."

Xiaozhu is twelve years old when he turns over the New Year. He does have more and more big brother's style, but his temperament has always been gentle and elegant. As he grows older, he will become more and more stable, and he will take care of people. like to stick to him.

Naturally, the rice ball also hurts his brother and sister, but he is relatively rough, and he will not be as careful as a small pillar.

Xiaozhu settled up with two younger brothers before turning over and waiting for the rice ball: "Speaking of me, I should call me a brother, come, and call my brother to listen."

The rice ball knocked on his head: "I want to be beautiful, you still covered me when you were a kid. Why didn't you see you call me a brother?"

Xiaozhu's hands on the back of their heads, the past is upside -down, vividly, as if the kung fu blinking, the time has already been described as "many years ago". The situation of Shankeng snail went to the rice ball house. At that time, he would never think of this day.

Xiao Zhu suddenly stared at the rice ball seriously: "The rice ball, I seem to have never told you thank you."

At that time, Xiao Zhu felt that he and the rice dumplings were brothers without blood. His destiny began to rewrite from meeting Aunt Su's family. The fate between people was also wonderful. To him, how to maintain the small bean bag can be maintained by the rice ball. He still thinks about it. How lucky he can meet such a family, now he has more younger brothers and sisters.

The rice ball knocked on him again, touched the goosebumps in his hand, yawned and said, "I can't stand you. The old men are suddenly so numb, sleep and sleep, and I have to look at our big capital earlier tomorrow. "

Xiaozhu followed him down: "In fact, we can go to taste the bean juice and sesame sesame cake at the mouth of Lao Hutong tomorrow."

Rice ball: "Soy juice? Soy milk?"

Xiao Zhuzi remembered the flavor of the bean juice and shivered, flickering, "It's almost the same, it's a thing anyway, but the taste is different."

Rice ball: "How different I have to taste, all soybeans are grinded into pulp, either sweet or salty, can it be stinky?"

Xiaozhu was silent, it was really stinky, sour and sour.

It was also the first time that Su Xiaoxiao slept on a kang. The weather in the capital was dry, and her skin was itchy. Sleeping on the kang was not very comfortable. After lying down for a long time, she tossed and turned. The little glutinous rice ball had already fallen asleep in a small corner.

Hancheng hugged her in his arms, leaned close to her ear and asked, "What's the matter? Do you recognize the bed?"

It wasn't Su Xiaoxiao's coquettishness. She really couldn't stand the dryness of the north. She sat up and said poorly, "It's a bit uncomfortable, I feel that the skin on her body is about to break."

Hancheng got up and found her vanishing cream and put it back on the kang. He remembered that she had wiped it on her face and hands, so he dug it out and rubbed it with both hands. It's very dry, please bear with it today, go to the mall tomorrow to buy some clam oil, and apply a little every day to make it more comfortable."

Su Xiaoxiao himself dug a little bit on his legs, and said, "The clam oil is cheaper and the large area is not distressed. The snowflake paste is very expensive. This small bottle is really durable."

Hancheng carried her to his lap and rubbed her forehead with his forehead: "I can afford it. I like to use vanishing cream. Let's buy a few more bottles of vanishing cream tomorrow. It's just that the clam oil is more moisturizing, as long as you like it."

Su Xiaoxiao sat on the leg of Hancheng, holding his waist, so that he could help him wipe his back, and stumped his chest and said, "No, we have to save money to buy such a courtyard. house."

Hancheng dug out another piece of cream and carefully rubbed it on her waist: "Don't think about saving money, just go back to the old house and dig out the gold sometime. You can buy ten courtyards if you want."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

She reached out and pinched Hancheng's face: "Didn't he say that the uncle flipped the whole house and couldn't find it? We can't tear it down, can we?"

Hancheng squeezed her hand and put it on his lips and kissed: "He is him, I am me, how do I know if I haven't found it?"

Su Xiaoxiao blinked his eyes twice: "Where do you know where to hide?"

Hancheng shook his head truthfully: "I don't know, but there are only a few places that Uncle hasn't turned over. You should be able to find it out if you rule it out."

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed Hancheng again: "really didn't expect our comrade Hancheng to be a good guy from the landlord's family. I'll just wait and enjoy the happiness. By the way, Hancheng, is Uncle Zhang's house a four-entry or three-entry?"

"Three entrances," Hancheng said, "Just after dinner, there is the main room, and when you go through it, you enter the third door. After the third entrance, you will enter the room. There is no fourth entrance."

Su Xiaoxiao actually didn't know what to enter, two, three, and four, but just heard that everyone said so, and asked casually: "The three -in -three yard is so big? How big is the four?"

Hancheng said: "Siheyuan is just an architectural style. There are rooms on all sides, and the door faces the yard. The number of entrances is only a statement of layout, and it also depends on the size of the area. Although there are few entrances here, Uncle Zhang has many rooms. There are only two wing rooms, and some four-way courtyards may only have a long depth, and each east and west wing may only have one room, which is only deep, not large."

Su Xiaoxiao is a bit concept: "Then we buy a wider building area, don't be so deep, I think it is possible to enter and enter, the key is that the area is large. All children live in a yard, and you can see everyone when you open the door. This is the best. "

Hancheng kissed her origin: "It's up to you, as long as you like it."

Su Xiaoxiao was already a little stuck: "You are so good in Hancheng, you have to grow pomegranate trees and osmanthus trees in the yard.

Su Xiaoxiao said and fell asleep.

Hancheng kissed her forehead, cautious and solemn put her down, reached out and pushed her bangs aside, kissed her on the forehead, hooked her lips and said, "Good night, my smile."

There was no speech overnight. On the first night when they came to the capital, everyone fell asleep.

Uncle Lao Yang really got up a firewood in the middle of the night, so that in the early morning, everyone's hoe was still warm.

However, there was an episode the next morning. The weather in the capital was too dry, and the small meat buns and small rice balls had nosebleeds when they woke up early in the morning. Su Xiaoxiao was so frightened that he boiled a large pot of chrysanthemum snow pear tea early in the morning to let the children they drink water.

Uncle Yang made the QQ-bomb crystal sweet-scented osmanthus cake that he liked very much in the small glutinous rice ball. He also went to buy Xiaozhuzi’s favorite fried twist and donkey roll, which everyone likes, and had a delicious breakfast with his own soy milk. .

After breakfast, everyone split up. Hancheng and Su Xiaoxiao wanted to go back to the old house to take a look. The old man's family took a few completely dressed cubs out for a tour of the capital.

The four adults and five cubs still got into the car that brought them back yesterday, and grandiose went out.

Su Xiaoxiao and Hancheng walked hand in hand in the old alley in the cold winter. How can describe this feeling?

When I walked through the crooked old locust tree, Su Xiaoxiao stopped and glanced at a few more glances, "If you can float a bit of snow at this time."

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, snowflakes like goose feathers suddenly floated in the sky.

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand to pick up the snowflakes, as happy as a child: "It's snowing Hancheng, it's really snowing!" She is God's daughter, so she's really saving face.

Hancheng raised his lips and looked at his wife dotingly: "Let's walk two steps faster, the snow will get heavier when it snows."

The old house and the Zhang family of Hancheng's house were only separated by two hutongs, and it was here for eight minutes.

Su Xiaoxiao stood in front of the ancient-looking Ruyi Gate, which was even more grand than Zhang's family, and could feel the depth of the house. Just looking at the Ruyi Gate, the strong sense of history was already overwhelming. Come, you can imagine how many unknown stories are hidden in the house behind the shadow wall.

Su Xiaoxiao was about to say something, and Ruyi Gate in front of him suddenly opened.

Su Xiaoxiao was startled, hugged Hancheng and looked at him with a look of horror, didn't he say that the house had been vacant for many years? Why would anyone come out?
