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 cloud 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 simple and authentic old alleys in the capital, which makes Su Xiaoxiao more certain that he must have one. It doesn't matter if your own courtyard is not so big or small. If the cubs can grow up in such a sentimental house, the future pattern will definitely not be small.

Xiaoroubao likes to eat mutton the most. If he really wants to eat thinly sliced ​​mutton, he can kill a few dishes by himself. However, his parents were taught from childhood that he could not eat alone. It’s still as much as his brother gives him, and he eats as much as he wants. When the family eats, he won’t ask to eat more if he wants to. Small meat buns are not picky and easy to support. 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!"

Both Xiaoroubao and Xiaotangyuan are very lovable, Xiaotangyuan is the kind of beautiful girl who will make people like it at a glance, and Xiaoroubao is inexplicably festive, who would look at such a meaty and smiling cub Can the cub 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, I 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: "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 do 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 **** 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. The couple, Yali and Su Xiaoxiao, took the small dumplings to the east wing, and 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 **** 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 with a thinner quilt and wrapped the little guy: "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.

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

Xiao Zhuzi touched his brother's head again: "If it's hot or cold, I have to tell my brother, you can't carry it, you know?"

Xiaodoubao nodded obediently: "I know, good night, brother Zhuzi."

Xiaozhuzi helped him tuck the quilt: "close your eyes and sleep, good night."

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

Xiao Zhuzi is already twelve years old after turning over his years. He is indeed becoming more and more like a big brother, but his temperament has always been gentle and elegant. I like sticking to him.

The rice ball naturally loves his younger brother and sister, but he is a bit thicker and less careful than Xiaozhu.

After Xiao Zhuzi settled down with his two younger brothers, he turned on the kang and went to the rice ball: "Speaking of which I am older than you, you should also call me brother, come, call brother to listen."

The rice ball hit him on the head with a book: "It's beautiful, I used to cover you when you were young, why didn't you call me brother?"

Xiao Zhuzi rested his hands behind his head, rewinding the past scene by scene, vividly in his mind, as if in the blink of an eye, the time was already described as "many years ago", he remembered the first time he carried it on his back many years ago. When Shankengluo went to the rice ball's house, he would never have imagined that such a day would come when he was beaten to death.

Xiao Zhuzi suddenly stared at the rice ball seriously: "The rice ball, I don't seem to have ever said thank you to you."

At that time, Xiao Zhuzi felt that he and Rice Ball Doubao were bloodless brothers. His fate was rewritten when he met Aunt Su's family. The fate between people was also wonderful. Aunt Su's family was unconditional from the beginning Good to him, how the rice ball maintains Xiaodoubao, he still thinks to this day, how lucky he is to meet such a family, and now he has more brothers and sisters.

Onigiri tapped him again with a book, touched the goosebumps on his hands, yawned and said, "I really can't stand you, the big gentlemen are suddenly so numb, sleeping and sleeping, I have to get up early tomorrow and take a good look at our big capital. "

Xiao Zhuzi followed him and lay down: "Actually, we can try the bean juice and sesame biscuits at Laohutongkou tomorrow."

Rice ball: "Soybean juice? Soy milk?"

Xiao Zhuzi shuddered when he remembered the taste of bean juice, and said flickeringly, "It's almost the same thing, but the taste is different."

Rice ball: "Then I have to taste how different it is. They are all ground soybeans, either sweet or salty, and stinky?"

The little column was silent, it really stinks, sour and sour.

It was also the first time that Su Xiaoxiao slept on the kang. The weather in the capital was dry and the skin on her body was itchy. It was not very comfortable to sleep on the kang. After laying down for a long time, she was still tossing and turning, and the small dumplings had already fallen asleep in a small corner.

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

It's not Su Xiaoxiao's squeamishness. She, a southerner, really can't stand the dryness in the north. She simply sat up and said pitifully, "It's a bit uncomfortable because it's too dry. I feel like the skin on my body is about to crack."

Han Cheng 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, reaching over to her back to help her apply it: "The weather here is It's very dry, 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 also dug a little and rubbed it on her legs. She pouted and said, "Clam oil is cheaper if you apply it on a large area, so I don't feel bad. Vanishing cream is very expensive. This small bottle is really not durable."

Han Cheng 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 straddled Han Cheng's lap, wrapped his arms around his waist so that he could wipe his back, rubbed his chest and said, "No, we have to save money and buy a courtyard like this, I like it so much. house."

Han Cheng dug out some more 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 courtyard houses if you want."

Su Xiaoxiao: "…"

She reached out and pinched Han Cheng's face: "Didn't the uncle flip the whole house and couldn't find it? We can't tear it down, can we?"

Han Cheng 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 her eyes twice: "Do you know where it is hidden?"

Han Cheng shook his head truthfully: "I don't know, but there are only a few places that the uncle hasn't turned over, and they should be able to find it out."

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed Hancheng again: "I didn't expect our Hancheng comrade to be a good friend of the landlord's family, so I'm just waiting to enjoy it. By the way, Hancheng, is Uncle Zhang's house a four-entry or three-entry? "

"Three entrances," Han Cheng 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, and there is no fourth entrance."

Su Xiaoxiao actually doesn't understand what is "one entry, two entry, three entry and four entry", but he just asked casually after hearing people say that: "The yard with three entry is so big? How big is the four entry?"

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

Su Xiaoxiao has a bit of a concept: "Then let's buy a building with a wider building area, not so deep. I think one entry and two entry are fine. The key is to have a large area. I don't like the deep feeling of passing through a few gates in the courtyard. , all the children live in a yard, open the door to see everyone, that's the best."

Han Cheng kissed her originator: "It's all up to you, as long as you like it."

Su Xiaoxiao was actually a little sleepy and confused: "Hancheng, you are so kind, there are also pomegranate trees and sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the yard. I like the fragrance of sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus in August..."

Su Xiaoxiao said and fell asleep.

Han Cheng kissed her forehead, put her down carefully, reached out and pushed her bangs aside, kissed her on the forehead, hooked his lips and said, "Good night, my smile."

After a night of silence, on the first night in the capital, everyone slept well.

Old Uncle Yang really got up in the middle of the night to add firewood to everyone, so that in the early morning, everyone's kang was still warm.

However, there was an episode the next morning. The climate in the capital was too dry, and the small meat buns and small rice **** had nosebleeds when they woke up early in the morning. Su Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she boiled a large pot of chrysanthemum pear tea early in the morning. Children drink as water.

Uncle Yang made QQ Bomb's crystal sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Xiaotangyuan likes very much. He also bought Xiaozhuzi's favorite fried twist and donkey roll, which everyone likes, and had a delicious breakfast with his own soy milk.

After breakfast, everyone went their separate ways. Han Cheng and Su Xiaoxiao wanted to go back to the old house to take a look.

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

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

When walking past the crooked-neck old locust tree, Su Xiaoxiao stopped and looked at it a few more times and said, "It would be nice if there was some snow at this time."

As soon as the sound of Su Xiao's joke fell, snowflakes like goose feathers suddenly floated in the sky.

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand to pick up the snowflakes, and was as happy as a child: "It's snowing in Hancheng, it's really snowing!" She is God's daughter, right?

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

Hancheng's old house and Zhang's house are only two alleys apart, and it takes ten or eight minutes to walk there.

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

Su Xiaoxiao was about to say something when the Ruyi door in front of her suddenly opened with a creak.

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