Twenty-Four Shikumen (Xuanyuan Royal Prophecy and Wall +)
Early the next morning, Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jiao had their last breakfast in this villa. Shen Jiaxing found a trolley and put simple furniture and luggage on the car, ready to move.
The person who came to inform yesterday really came early in the morning. The leader was another young man. He carefully inspected the three-storey house with his face and hands behind his back, and asked angrily, "Why are there so few things? ? You hid?"
Shen Jiaxing was well prepared and said calmly, "The students from Kyoto have been smashed a few days ago, and there are only a few good ones left."
The young man was blocked by him, but he said nothing, waved his hand and let go.
Shen Jiaxing was secretly complacent, knowing that as long as he played the signboard of Kyoto students, these guys would never dare to ask more.
Shen Jiaxing carried Shen Jiao onto the scooter, opened his arms, pushed the trolley and left. On the way, he ran into the Xu family again. Several teenagers and Mrs. Xu were carrying large and small bags and were struggling to move.
It seemed that the Xu family was also doomed, and the Shen family greeted Mrs. Xu happily, "sister-in-law of the Xu family, where are you moving to?"
Mrs. Xu looked over with tears in her eyes, and she couldn't help crying when she saw Shen Jiaxing: "My house is gone, it was the house that my old man and I had saved after eating pickles for decades, how can I and the old man save it in the future? Confess!"
This poor old lady's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the gray hair on her head turned white overnight, and she was very old.
Shen Jiaxing sighed and persuaded: "If the house is gone, it will be gone. As long as the people are there, Guifu and his wife have both gone to the coal mine. You are the backbone of the family. Sister Xu, you can't fall down. It's up to you!"
Mrs. Xu wiped away her tears and her expression became firm: "Brother Jiaxing, you are right, I have to take good care of the children."
After calming down, Mrs. Xu turned back to the shrewdness of a tailor's wife. After noticing the scooter being pulled by Shen Jiaxing, she suddenly said, "Brother Jiaxing, your house is also..."
Shen Jiaxing smiled heartily: "Yes, where is your new home? Let's see if we still have the fate to be neighbors?"
Xu Guifu's eldest son, Xu Guanghui, is a fifteen-year-old boy. Although he is not tall, he is already half the pillar of the family. He heard the words and said, "It's No. 63 Qiantou Mianhua Street, a new-style Shikumen house. My house is divided into two rooms."
Shen Jiao glanced at the Xu family, the old lady and four children, the oldest was fifteen years old and the youngest was only five or six years old. She was a timid little girl who looked more like bean sprouts than her.
The two in the middle were both boys, one was twelve or thirteen years old, and the other was about the same age as Shen Jiao, who looked thin and small.
Shen Jiaxing heard it familiar, took out the note in his arms, and laughed: "It seems that we really have fate, this time we are neighbors again, and my family is going to move to No. 63 Cotton Street, but Jiaojiao and I can live in the pavilion. , not as good as yours."
Old Madam Xu sighed again and recited a few words of Buddha.
Shen Jiaxing also carried the little girl of the Xu family into the car. Shen Jiao was afraid that her grandfather would be too tired, so she got out of the car and walked with the three brothers of the Xu family. Although she had been a neighbor of the Xu family since she was a child, she was only familiar with Xu Guanghui, the eldest of the Xu family. Besides, the second eldest Xu Guanghui and the third eldest Xu Wenhui had just come to the sea market from the northern Jiangsu countryside, so Shen Jiao was not familiar with them.
Xu Guanghui and Xu Wenhui were already young governors. Seeing the beautiful girl who was white and tender, they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.
Shen Jiao took an assorted candy from her pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into the mouth of the little girl of the Xu family. The little girl's name was Xu Xiaoya. Xu Guifu and his wife still loved this little girl very much, and they kept it by her side. , but the Xu family's life is too cold, and the little girl looks like three or four years old when she is five years old.
After eating the candy, Xiaoya's eyes suddenly lit up, she hurriedly took out the bright candy from her mouth and stuffed it into Mrs. Xu's mouth, and muttered, "Aniang eat it,
good to eat. "
Although the little girl is five years old, due to malnutrition, her articulation is not very clear, and she can only speak some simple sentences.
Old lady Xu smiled and stroked her granddaughter's sparse yellow hair, licked it symbolically, and stuffed it back into Xiaoya's mouth. Xiaoya wanted to take it out for her three brothers to eat, but Shen Jiao really saw it. Can't go down.
Although the little girl's sensible moved her, she couldn't stand the sticky sugar juice on her little hands, so she had to take out two more candies and distribute them to the second and third children of the Xu family. Candy came out of my mouth.
Cotton Street is not too far from the villa alley, just two streets away, but it is very different.
The houses on Mianhua Street are all new-style Shikumen, the alleys are very narrow, many children are playing, and colorful clothes are dried under the windows of each floor, fluttering in the wind like colorful flags.
Some older old ladies gathered together to paste the paper boxes, saw Shen Jiaxing and the others, and after a while, they lowered their heads and continued to paste the paper boxes, with an indifferent expression.
No. 63 is a new-style Shikumen building with two floors. It seems that several families have lived in it, and the clothes fluttering under the window is a good proof.
Shen Jiaxing first moved their belongings in for the Xu family. It was two rooms on the second floor. In fact, the two rooms can only be counted as one room. The wall should have been separated later, and together they are only about 20 square meters. , Now it's okay for the old and the fourth to live for a while, but it will be a little crowded when the Xu family and their wife come back.
Their pavilion is not far from Xu's house. It is a small house built out of the space between the balcony and the stove. After the bed is placed, nothing can be placed there. Otherwise, there would be no place to stand.
Shen Jiaxing sighed, took the basin and went downstairs to collect water for cleaning, while Shen Jiao stayed on top to organize things. Although she was also taken aback by the small house, she was still in a good mood.
No matter what, she and her grandfather are still alive and well, which is already good!
Xu Guanghui came to borrow a scooter from Shen Jiaxing, saying that he wanted to go back and pull some furniture. Shen Jiaxing naturally had no objection, and persuaded him to pull as much as possible.
"Such a small place, there is no place to put it if you pull it!"
Xu Guanghui's face was also a little sad. The family change made this fifteen-year-old boy grow up quickly, with a manly determination in his eyes.
Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jiao only stayed in this pavilion for two nights. Shen Jiaxing took Shen Jiao to the train station early on the third day. He lent the pavilion to the Xu family. There were many Xu family members, and many rooms were also available. Be a little more comfortable.
There were several people wearing red armbands standing on the train platform, and Shi Daniu was also on the list. Seeing that Shen Jiaxing ignored him, it was as if he didn't know him.
There were more than ten people standing on the platform, including old people of the same age as Shen Jiaxing, middle-aged people in their forties, and young people in their twenties. Judging by their dress and temperament, they were all well-heeled before. people!
"Children can't follow!" Someone yelled.
