There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The car speeded all the way, and reached the county seat in less than an hour and drove to the entrance of the armed department. Zhou Xiaozheng asked his wife to sit in the car and wait. He got out of the car and went inside. He found Zhao Dashan and pulled him out, "You Is there time now? Is there someone you know in this county who specializes in cleaning and tidying up things?"

Zhang Dashan dragged him and shouted loudly, "Xiao Liu, remember to ask someone to handle things early tomorrow, and I will go out for work." After finishing speaking, he dragged him to the door without waiting for the other party's promise.

"Brother Zheng, this is a car in the provincial city. You have already gone to the provincial city today? It just so happens that you have a car. Follow me to see people. It's better to be strict and don't be okay. I remember, Liu The old couple before the professor was very old. People often came to help wash clothes and wash the quilt cover. They said they were cousins, so we went to him."

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded, "It is indeed the most convenient to find Professor Liu directly. I just want to consult him about the fire wall. I don't know if the fire wall will have any effect on the family?"

"Yeah, my sister-in-law is still in the car. Last time I didn't know that you were Brother Zheng's lover. I would take my Hongli over to see you if I knew it. You can see you in Jiaojiao, but I didn't expect it to be Brother Zheng's daughter. We’ve arrived at the Dragon King Temple. This time, we pick up the yard, and we can gather together.” After speaking, we just sat on the back seat.

Lin Lishan smiled and said to him, "It's fate, we must get together, I also ask you to take care of these two children. Brother Dashan, how do you go to Professor Liu's house? You can point me."

"Don't call Dashan. Didn't you see Brother Zheng leaning at me? Just call Dashan. Brother Zheng has been driving ahead, and when you turn right at the intersection, you will arrive at his house, a big courtyard."

"Then I should call you Lao Zhao. Father should be at home, right?"

Zhang Dashan nodded, "I will definitely be at home. I'm all very old and I'm not happy to move."

The car stopped at the gate of a large courtyard. This is an old house, supposed to be an ancestral house. It is off the county seat. It is beside the main road from the county seat to the provincial capital. The yard is quiet. Zhang Dashan and his wife knocked on the iron ring at the gate. , Shouted: "Is Mr. Liu home?"

After shouting three times, a middle-aged woman came out to open the door and saw three people standing at the door, and two in military uniforms. She immediately realized that she was surprised, "You guys bought a small yard yesterday. The old man and the old lady are in the house with the children, come in quickly."

After welcoming them into the compound, the yard is still the old man's demeanor. Fruit trees are planted in the corners and flower beds are cut. There is no landscape in the cold weather. When summer is here, you can see that there must be a lot of red and fruit. .

On the second entry, I saw the old man telling the little great-grandchildren to recite the Three-character Sutra. The three children only glanced at the fruit on the case note, followed by sentence by sentence, and the old lady looked at the grandparents and grandchildren cheerfully.

Seeing people coming in, the old man stopped and said to the children: "Go, choose by yourself, one person can only choose one. Who can recite the earliest, you can still get one."

After speaking, they stood up towards Zhou Xiaozheng, let them sit down in the living room, and curiously said: "Dashan and you are still old friends, is there something you don't understand in the yard, please tell me?" Indicate that Zhou Xiaozheng can propose.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at the old man, smiled and said, "Master, I really don't understand what I want to ask you old man. I think there is a wall of fire in your main house. Will it have an impact on the family if it is heated? , Is the main room fire kang and fire wall heated as a whole or separate? I hurried to check in the morning. I haven't observed it carefully. Wouldn't I take the liberty to visit?"

Old man Liu smiled to the old lady who came in and said: "How about, I will find someone who knows you well, don't wrong your heart, okay? Don't look at soldiers, but people have good eyesight. When you enter the living room, the first thing you see is broken. The table has broken stools, especially the small one. I saw him staring at the chair for several times in the living room."

The old lady smiled and put the tea on the coffee table, "Yes, you still have good eyesight as before. Drink tea,

Old man Liu didn't refute, and saw his wife with a smile. When she finished speaking, he asked Zhou Xiaozheng: "When will your little son-in-law come here to sit? You guys, I won't ask for it. I don't think I have time. "

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at Zhao Dashan and his wife, and said to him: "The old man loves him so much, he must be allowed to visit him. You always have time to mention him more. This is his luck. Recently, my little girl is still sitting in the moon. Son, my in-laws have built a yard and they are busy, otherwise they will definitely join us today."

"Your son-in-law is good, with righteous eyes. Come on, let me tell you about the living room stove. That's my favorite work. You haven't started using it yet, right? You must have not found out. I changed it, except In addition to increasing the capacity, I also set up gates in the fire kang and fire walls leading to the east and west rooms. The chimneys leading to the outside have also been repaired, just for fear that the coal will be accidentally poisoned by burning briquettes. If you usually use firewood, remember to keep the inside of the stove. The iron stove is launched. You can use the fire wall with no worry. It has just been renovated this year.

I also raised the roof deliberately and added a layer of wooden boards to prevent the heavy snow from pressing in the winter, to reduce gravity and to insulate the cold. In summer, it can be insulated.If the space is large and the height is increased, there will be no sense of depression.Summer is here, open the door to the bedroom, it will be windy and cool."

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at him happily. This was all expected, and he also took precautions, "Master, don’t you say I haven’t noticed yet, you always prevent your feelings in advance."

"Wait a minute, I still have something to give you. I should have given it to you yesterday. I am old and have a bad memory. I guess you will come to me before you move in." Old man Liu entered the back room and took out one. Sheet of yellowed paper.

Mr. Liu spread the paper on the coffee table and said, "Look, this is the layout I drew before moving in. I have marked everything. Look at what else is unclear."

Zhou Xiaozheng looked down. The drawing was very clear. After so many years, the paper was kept intact except that it turned yellow. Even the passage to the toilet in the yard was dug out, and the distance was marked in detail.

Zhou Xiaozheng pointed to the toilet, "Master, this is the direct access to the latrine. Will it freeze in the winter? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"It won't be frozen, just wash it with water. At the beginning, the building channel was treated with materials and buried deep. Unless the channel was dug for major construction, the neighbor on the right later also opened one. The top was covered with slabs. Later, I covered it with mud. The toilet in the room was not ready to go out in winter. The toilet was placed by the gate every morning and was taken away by a special person. At the beginning, because the materials were not enough, there was no pipe to go inside. ."

Zhou Xiao nodded, not asking what materials to use.He was skeptical about this, the credibility of dripping into ice in winter is really not high.He paused when he heard the old man mention the bathroom in the room. Isn't this old man confused?

"Master, where is the bathroom in the room?"

Old man Liu laughed and touched his wife, "You didn't show them yesterday?" After speaking, he shook his head in embarrassment when he saw his wife. He suddenly understood that his wife had made him temperamental-really particular.

"You may not have noticed that looking at the five main rooms in the yard, the east master bedroom is larger than the west room, and there is the east wing room on the other end, and there may be errors in vision. The large mirror on the master bedroom wall is pushed inside to the right. There was a dark room, and I changed the bathroom." After speaking, Old Man Liu smiled and blinked at Zhou Xiaozheng.

Zhou Xiaozheng couldn't laugh or cry, this old man really likes tossing.He noticed the big mirror, and looked at it twice.Who expected this trick.

"The well in the yard. This big stone slab is next to it for washing clothes. There is a sink on the side, and the outlet below is where it leads to the toilet. Don’t pour the water into the sink in winter, it will freeze and jam. , Now I cover it with a wooden board. Look at what else is unclear?"

"It won't be clear, they are all marked. Thank you, old man, you have carefully arranged everything in the yard." Zhou Xiaozheng really felt that the old man gave him the yard.
