There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Following Wang Auntie walked around the shortcut. But in a moment, he came to the gate of the yard. It is indeed an ordinary small courtyard, as Wang Auntie said, with a small floor area, and the neighboring courtyards on both sides are just a little apart.

Aunt Wang knocked on the door, and a white-haired, merciful old man came out. The other party was still holding this ancient book in his hand. He was quite old, even more than 70 years old. Wearing well-washed clothes, there are no patches on the whole body, and the complexion is ruddy. It's not like the economy needs to sell the house. The old man is very healthy and he is not deaf. It was very surprising to see them standing outside the door.

The old man asked strangely: "Comrade Wang, are you taking them to see the house? This comrade, you didn't bring the female relatives over to see?"

Zhou Xiaozheng replied, "As long as my son-in-law is in this yard, it's okay. It's mainly because my daughter and son-in-law live with her three newborn grandsons. My daughter is still in confinement, and her mother takes care of her. We are both husband and wife. Soldiers, usually don’t have time. We can decide if it’s suitable. Uncle, is it convenient to see the house?"

The old man smiled and nodded, letting go, "Come in. We are about to sell and move to the eldest son. We usually live in our old couple at home. You see the house for yourself, and I will ask my wife to come and introduce it to you."

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded secretly as soon as he walked into the yard. Regardless of the ordinary outside, the inside is full of good materials. It seems that the old man had a solid family background, and he took a lot of thought to build this yard. He was a smart man. Except for the high walls made of earth embryo stones, the main house and the east wing of the courtyard are all brick houses.

The yard is not big, and there is a flower bed in the right corner. The entire yard is empty except for the land near the flower bed, and the ground is covered with small stones.

Just entered the remodeled main living room. Zhang Guoqing and his father-in-law looked at each other and felt each other's surprise. Both of them can see that the property does not seem to be selling the yard.

It seems that it has not changed much from ordinary people's outbuildings, but the wood for the tables and chairs in the living room is not simple.

In addition to the mahogany Eight Immortals table and a few chairs placed in the front, there are also a few unusually-looking grandmaster chairs, and a tea set in the middle is placed on the coffee table.

It seems that the color of the furniture in the living room is old and old. Those who don't know the goods may think that these broken tables and broken chairs are useless at all. But in the eyes of Zhou Xiaozheng's son-in-law, these furniture are good things. The material still emits a slight fragrance. Especially those great master chairs are complete sets.

The old man asked the old lady to take Zhou Xiaozheng and his wife to look at the house, and he took Wang Auntie to sit down and chat. Seemingly avoiding the other person to visit the room.

The two rooms on the left are connected. The outside room as a study room is very elegant. There is no kangqin quilt on the soil kang by the window, only a special Go kang table with a chess game on it. On the opposite side of the Kang, there are two rows of bookcases against the wall. When you open them, there are all kinds of books. There is a large bookcase in the room, there are still calligraphy and paintings on it, and a cursive script hung on the wall, revealing the background of the scholarly family.

In the adjacent bedroom, there is an unfolded quilt on the kang. It seems that the old lady just got off the kang. There are two thick quilts on the kangqin, all made of silk and fine cotton. An old-style wardrobe is placed against the wall opposite the Kang. Not far in front is a round table and two large chairs with backrests. A complete set of furniture, wood materials and styles are all the same, very harmoniously placed in the room.

Zhou Xiaozheng's eyes flashed a little worry, it seemed that this old man was not a simple character. He has just observed carefully, no matter how simple the style of the study and bedroom furniture is, the paint is all precious wood.

From the moment he entered the yard, he found that apart from the warehouse and the mud and straw houses on the right wall, everything else seemed normal, but the effort and money spent would definitely not be less.

Listening to the introduction of the old lady, he consciously or unconsciously asked a few questions. After a while, my heart relaxed slightly. The other party's family situation has nothing to do with him, and the buyer and seller are willing to do so.

There are two rooms on the right side of the living room, one is a room with a heated kang, and the other is neatly packed. The old quilts and old mattresses are neatly placed on the closet. The closet against the wall is obviously newly made in recent years, with ordinary wood. I heard from the old lady that there were old couple's out-of-season clothes and some old materials stored in it. It seems that this old couple is very good at life and has high requirements for the quality of life.

After leaving the main room, the east wing room should be three rooms based on the area. The two outside rooms were directly converted into large kitchens, and became the two rooms that Wang Auntie said.

Their family should pay more attention to eating and drinking. In addition to an ordinary earthen stove, there is also a stovetop modified from a briquettes stove, and things are still being stewed on the briquettes stove. Two stoves, the earthen stove is close to the next room, connecting with the earthen kang in the next room. Briquettes stoves supply kitchen fire walls. There is a water well in the corner of the kitchen entrance and a large water tank against the wall.

There is a row of jars under the window. Although it has been cleaned up now, the air still smells of sauerkraut with the smell of miso. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has a big table in the middle of the kitchen. It is estimated that the elderly and children often come to eat. The cabinets and tables and stools behind the wall are very neat and tidy, and they are often taken care of.

The old lady opened the concealed cellar door in the innermost kitchen, and looked inside. This is not a cellar. It should be called a basement more than a cellar. The basement is very tidy, and the surrounding frames are all made of dirt. I usually placed rations and dry goods, but now it's empty. I heard the old lady say that there is a cellar in the yard, which is used to store Chinese cabbage and white radish in winter.

There is an empty room next to the kitchen with Zhang Huo Kang inside. Except the kangqin, there is nothing else, clean up. I heard the old lady say that this is the aunt's room I invited.

The old lady led them to the right side of the yard near the corner of the flower bed, where three mud straw houses were half-covered by a stomping stack of firewood. Except for one of the cottages, which also has a bathroom, the remaining rooms are equipped with agricultural tools for planting flowers, a lot of baskets, and a few briquettes. The outermost room left is the old couple's useless warehouse.

In the end, the old lady showed them the cellars and wells outside the house. She laughed and said that the two east wing houses were built to allow the servants to live alone and to avoid oily smoke in the main house. Nowadays, there are no servants, and their old couple will occasionally go straight in the living room of the main room.

Weng and son-in-law had a bottom in their hearts. The entire yard is a pattern of five rooms plus two rooms. Zhou Xiaozheng just noticed that there was a fire wall in the innermost wall of the main house, and nodded after asking Ming main house and kitchen heating problems.

The owner of this house is a wise man. Except for the conspicuous fire kang, the main room hides the fire wall. The earth stove in the living room has a large capacity, sanitation and safety after refitting, and it supplies the fire wall of the main room. He is not afraid of high overall heating costs. But ordinary people in this yard can't afford it, but it makes him cheap.
