In order to wait for "Tang Xin'er", Hong Yanwu guessed the time and left the outer courtyard. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Hong Yanru and Hong Jun, so he turned around and led them in first.
As soon as they walked around the screen wall, the aunt and nephew were stunned by the continuous mansion.
Imagine that a young girl who grew up in a poor place, a little kid, how could she expect to get such a large inheritance left by her ancestors?
Although the courtyard in the middle road has not been repaired yet, it is dilapidated everywhere, and there are still weeds growing on the houses. But the gate of a big house is still a gate of a big house after all.
The size and shape of the house, which is no less than that of the royal family, exudes grandeur and nobility. In addition, the courtyard is lonely and there are no other people around, so anyone standing here will look very small.
So whether it is the bluestone steps, the copper-clad threshold, the skyline outlined by the fish-scale tile roof, or the "scorpion tails" raised diagonally upward at both ends of the main ridge of the house, they are all left to Hong Yanru and Hong Jun. Made a deep impression.
This inevitably gives them an unreal feeling that they are on a movie set. The word "dream-like" may be a bit too much, but excitement and surprise are inevitable.
Of course, with a girl's heart, she will also feel timid due to unfamiliarity in a situation where "there is no one in the building".
This made Hong Yanru walk closely next to Hong Yanwu without knowing it, for fear that she would be left behind.
On the contrary, with the heart of a gangster, Hong Jun showed uncontrollable excitement and activity when he found out that his grandma's words were true.
He couldn't restrain his desire to express himself, so he opened his voice and sang unscrupulously in front of the empty courtyard, those green tiles and white walls, and the cornices.
"Beautiful flowers are blooming all over the boiler room. The steamed buns in the boiler room are so fragrant. I want to eat steamed buns, but I am afraid that they will be hot, so I have to sit next to the boiler room and wait for them to cool down."
The content of this song is quite simple, but there is no applause. Instead, Hong Yanru scolded her for being abrupt.
"Scared me! Singing nonsense! What have you learned!"
Hong Jun was not discouraged and immediately changed the allegro.
"When I came to Tianjin Wei, I didn't learn anything. I learned how to drive a car and killed more than 200 people. The police came to arrest me. I was so scared that I crawled with the wheel and hid in the women's toilet!"
To be honest, that childish voice was incompatible with the ancient and huge courtyard. But the all-powerful momentum, the heroic spirit of a baby who is not afraid of tigers, caused an immediate resonance in this magnificent old house.
"Women's restroom... toilet... place... place..."
The echo is crisp, loud and distant. In addition to causing the sparrows to flutter and fly away, Hong Yanru was so angry that she stabbed Hong Jun in the head with her finger. Even Hong Yanwu couldn't help being amused and burst into laughter.
"You brat, just howl! In a while, all the owners who are looking for huts in Dashilar will have to be lured by you..."
After passing the Weeping Flower Gate, we passed the Second Entrance Courtyard, turned right and came to Huayuanzi.
Although this place has not been cleaned up by the gardener and is overgrown with weeds, it is a place full of flowers and trees and full of life.
The few pomegranate flowers in the courtyard are in full bloom, shining in the sun, as if there is fire flowing on the trees. It looks like this year will be another good year.
The leaves were also dyed into gold leaves, and their light fell on the ground, forming a world of colorful light and shadow.
Needless to say, for a boy like Hong Jun, there are too many fun things here, and the little bugs hidden under the flowers and leaves are the biggest source of fun.
Beetles, mantises, grasshoppers, scarabs, kowtow beetles, flower elder sisters, oil gourds, cockroaches, coffin boards, croakers... you can see them everywhere as long as you are willing.
Even because it is so inaccessible, there are so many dragonflies here and they are especially easy to catch. They all fell asleep on the branches and grass blades. Hong Jun easily caught a red-bellied one with two fingers, commonly known as "little pepper".
In addition, there is another interesting thing.
For this nephew, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had long hung a thick hemp rope from the thick trunk of a big tree, and tied it on a chopping board with holes drilled in it, making a very simple one for him. swing.
As a result, this kid won't be able to walk when he gets here. He couldn't even take care of the hunger that would inevitably arise after class every day. If you have to stay here, have some fun first.
Hong Yanwu and Hong Yanru had no choice but to leave him in the garden, and they went directly to "Huatingyuaner" to meet their parents. By the way, the red dragonflies caught by Hong Jun had to be tied with a string, so that the boy could pull one end to let it fly and fly the kite.
By the time Hong Yanwu turned around and came out to the outer courtyard, more than twenty minutes had passed.
"Tang Xin'er" was on time, he had already arrived, and he was waiting at the entrance of the hospital with large and small bags of things in his hands. She started acting coquettishly as soon as she saw him.
"You, you promised four o'clock sharp. Why are you not on time? You made me wait for so long, I am exhausted..."
Hong Yanwu hurried over and took the things from her hand while explaining that he had just met his sister and nephew. The child was impatient and sent them inside, then turned around and came out to greet her.
It’s embarrassing to follow him.
"You come as soon as you say, but you still have to buy something. I have told you a long time ago that it is a last-minute decision. Even if you don't bring a gift, no one will pick you. When people come, everyone will I'm happy. This is good. My mother has been complaining to me all afternoon about not asking me to pick you up. I don't know where to find you or how to pick you up..."
Hearing what he said was pitiful, "Tang Xin'er" couldn't help but burst into laughter as soon as she followed him into the courtyard.
"Okay, okay. Who am I doing this for? Besides, it's your fault for lying to me last time. Huh? It's my first time to visit, and you prepared everything. How can you be so embarrassed? You My family is so kind to me, so I have to show my sincerity..."
Hong Yanwu listened to his heartbeat, kicked the courtyard door shut, pushed "Tangxin'er" against the wall of the concierge, kissed her gentle lips and beautiful face, and whispered in her ear explain.
"Daughter-in-law, I thought you just wanted to go shopping. Now I know that I have no conscience. You are hurting me!"
"Tang Xin'er" was embarrassed and happy by Hong Yanwu's sweet words, which happened to "bully" him for holding something in both hands and hugging him. She quickly pushed her and escaped from his arms, then let out a sweet voice.
"Bah, who cares for you! I didn't buy it for you!"
Seeing Hong Yanwu chasing after him with a smile again, "Tang Xin'er" let out a slight scream, turned around and ran away like a naughty child.
But as soon as she turned around the screen wall, she still had the same reaction as Hong Yanru and Hong Jun, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Xiao Wu! This is your old house? This is... too big! How many yards? How many people can live there!"
Hong Yanwu from behind was proud.
"Daughter-in-law, you didn't expect it, did you? If you weren't careful, you would marry into a rich landlord's family! I said to my third young lady, come with me! Look at the house I have repaired and the small courtyard. She's so beautiful. Let me tell you, given our family's conditions, if we were to abandon the old society, our family would be like the Grand View Garden in "A Dream of Red Mansions". Xiren often teases me, I take care of Daiyu's cough, I will be there for Baochai's birthday, I talk about love with Miaoyu, I accompany Xiangyun to drink peony on that day..."
"Bah! Do you dare to say it again?"
Seeing a glimmer of light appear in "Tang Xin'er's" hand, Hong Yanwu felt a chill on his neck.
He quickly smiled flatteringly, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just a joke, you should understand. As the saying goes, 'I feel more spring-like during the festive season'..."
The last people to enter that day were Hong Yanzheng, Xu Manli and Hong Yanwen.
Hong Yanzheng and his wife got off work late, and Hong Yanwen’s school was quite far away.
So at 6:15 in the evening, when Hong Yanzheng and his wife came over with their second son Hong Yi, by chance, they happened to meet Hong Yanwen at the entrance of the hospital.
The three of them all laughed when they met. They all carried their bicycles into the courtyard. Then bolted the door completely.
Needless to say, Xu Manli and Hong Yanwen’s reactions can be guessed as soon as they enter.
After Hong Yanzheng introduced the family structure to his wife and second brother, the three of them took Hong Yi into the "Huatingyuaner" together. No one's eyes are brightened. Even Hong Yanzheng's mentality of finding faults and finding faults was gone.
Because what they saw was a picture that was far beyond their imagination, as if they were in a flood of ancient pavilions and pavilions, a wonderful and comfortable "Happiness Picture".
