Single Mom in the Eighties

Chapter 6: small home

Kangkang is generous, generous, not fussy, not angry, easy to be happy, and not so sensitive.

This is exactly the character that Yan Ruxu wants her child to have. She hopes that her child will continue to be like this. She doesn't want to have a great future in the future. She just hopes that he will be healthy and happy all his life, and live happily and safely.

Although Kangkang is not a sensitive child, he is very smart. From the situation just now, he guessed that something bad might have happened. happy.

Yan Ruxu said: "It's okay, baby, Mom hasn't been wronged, you see so many uncles, aunts, grandparents are helping Mom just now, we are on the side of justice!"

Kangkang's little head thought about the situation just now, and immediately became happy.

Seeing that he had reached the gate of his house, he swayed on the car seat a few times: "Mom, I want to go down."

This is the main entrance of our own yard. There is a single wooden door standing on two long stone steps. It was newly replaced before moving, and it was covered with a thin iron sheet in the shape of snowflakes. In the middle of the door, the Chinese New Year stickers and the couplets on both sides have lost some color due to the wind and rain, but they are still intact. The high wall completely blocks the inside of the yard. From the outside, only a raised corner of the eaves can be seen.

The fence was raised before she moved here.

The original walls of the Wujin mansion were tall and thick, imitating the palace walls of the Forbidden City, but the height and thickness were reduced by a few inches, and they were made of green bricks and clay, with a smooth appearance, so that the flying thieves could be taller even if they wanted to. There is no focus on going up and down.

Later, in order to accommodate more residents, the housing management office organized manpower to demolish most of the walls, and the only thing left was the blank of the back wall. Comparing the crude adobe wall built later with the original wall, it is as if Wu Dalang met Guan Erye, the gap is too big.

The reason why Yan Ruxu rebuilt the fence was that the aunts and aunts in the compound often peeped from the top of the wall. They are too courageous, and when they are discovered, they just smile sarcastically, and even greet you without changing their expressions, as if their behavior is very normal and there is nothing wrong with it.

These people may not have any bad intentions, they are simply curious, but for those who attach great importance to personal privacy, they are really disturbing. Thinking deeper, these ordinary people can easily climb up the wall, wouldn't it be easier for those snitches and thieves to come in?

The more Yan Ruxu thought about it, the more frightened she became, and soon contacted an engineering team under the Municipal Construction Bureau.

The engineering team did not take on private business, but Yan Ruxu interviewed them when she was a reporter in Dazhong Daily, and they had some friendship. For her sake, they sent a contracting team to work overtime to help her renovate the fence.

The new wall is flush with the original wall in the backyard, only the thickness has been reduced, which was enough in the Taiping era. The wall on three sides is not a big project, not to mention the labor cost, the material cost alone cost a lot of money, but Yan Ruxu is willing to take the money.

After the fence was built, those aunts and aunts could no longer climb up, and Yan Ruxu felt much more at ease.

Next to the gate is the end of the alley. The original owner built a small room of more than 20 square meters here, which happened to be used to store bicycles and other sundries.

Aunt Hua cleaned the steps and the surrounding areas of her own yard clean, and the uneven ground was also covered with ashes. Walking all the way from Baolai Hutong, it seems to have experienced different worlds, from noisy to quiet, from messy to clean, with sharp contrasts.

Yan Ruxu tilted the bicycle, and Kangkang climbed down like a little monkey, then climbed up the steps with his short legs, stretched out his little hand, and jumped to reach the door lock.

Naturally, he couldn't reach it, but he was not discouraged. He turned and jumped and shouted: "Mom, give me the key, and I will open the door!"

Yan Ruxu was helpless, so he had no choice but to get his bicycle and came over first, grabbed Kangkang's waist with one hand, lifted him up, half leaned on his right leg, and at the same time fumbled for a key chain from his satchel, and handed it to Kangkang. Kang.

Kangkang skillfully found out the door key, and Yan Ruxu held Kangkang's little hand again and unlocked it together.

Kangkang is in good health and has been carefully fed by Yan Ruxu. He is as strong as a calf, but he is only 3 years old. He can't lift things that are too heavy, and he can't do tasks that are too delicate and dexterous, but it doesn't affect his ability to work. Enthusiasm, he feels that even if he participates, he has done it, no matter whether he contributes or not, or whether it is a disservice, he has a sense of accomplishment.

Yan Ruxu opened the door, took out the key, and told Kangkang: "Mom, go and put the bicycle in the hut first, don't move here, wait for mom to go in together, okay?"

Kangkang nodded obediently, and repeated his mother's words: "I won't move, I'll wait for my mother to come back together."

Yan Ruxu walked down the steps again, unlocked the door lock of the small room, pushed the bicycle in, and locked the door lock before bringing Kangkang in.

The law and order is not very good recently, I heard that there are always people throwing things away. In this day and age, bicycles are still a rare item and a favorite of thieves, so they need to be locked up.

After entering, close the courtyard door, insert the door, and lock the gate from the inside with a door lock. There are only two people living in such a large courtyard, so you can't be too careful.

The yard where the couple lived was a very regular rectangle. When they entered, the first thing they saw were neat vegetable plots, including eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, hot peppers, corn... more than ten kinds of vegetables were planted, one vegetable plot and one vegetable plot. , placed very well.

There is a row of three wing rooms on the east side of the courtyard, which are now used by Yan Ruxu as a kitchen, dining room and utility room.

Although the four houses in the main house are for the family members to rest temporarily, they are also large tile-roofed houses facing south and north. The foundation was laid very high, and it was comfortable to live in. It was warm in winter and cool in summer without humidity. Three steps up the stairs led to an extremely wide platform covered with cement, surrounded by a wide fence made of cement and masonry. There are several pots of flowers in full bloom on the fence.

This is Aunt Hua's favorite place in the whole yard besides the vegetable garden, because it is especially useful to dry vegetables and dry grain after autumn.

Between the platform and the east wing, there is an apricot tree. The tree is not too tall. The trunk is as thick as an adult’s thigh, and the leaves are dense on it, covering a shade. The fruit on this tree is called fragrant white apricot. It is big and sweet. The mature season is around the Dragon Boat Festival. Aunt Hua breaks apart the inedible apricots and puts them on the platform to dry into dried apricots. They are steamed in winter or boiled with rock sugar for drinking. They taste good.

There is a wooden table and two small benches under the shade of the tree, and the couple sometimes eat here.
