Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 5
Li Heng understood what the station master meant.

You can choose your partner, but you must not mess around, or you will lose your reputation if you are not careful.

Is he that kind of person?
Of course not, maybe there will be times when I talk secretly from the bottom of my heart, but I am definitely not the kind of person who messes around.

The two of them chatted like this in the office until it was time for dinner. Stationmaster Zhang packed a lunch box and went home, while Li Heng sat in the cafeteria and killed five big steamed buns in one go, filling a lunch box. Everyone around swallowed their mouths when they saw the food, and even Squad Leader Li of the cooking class wondered if he had suddenly become enlightened today and made the food more delicious.

Walking out of the cafeteria, I burped in satisfaction, feeling refreshed all at once.

Just like what the station master said, I have a job, a good salary, and a house. Although several families live in a compound, this is already a very good house in this day and age. As for the unit building?Just think about it, there aren't many in four or nine cities, so it's his turn to live there.

Moreover, living in the current unit building does not necessarily have the comfort of this kind of courtyard house.

Rather than saying it is a unit building, it is better to say that it is a building. The area of ​​the house is not large, most of which are about [-] square meters. No, the stove is placed in the corridor at the door of the house, and the cooking is done outside.

When you come back from get off work, another family is cooking at the stove, and if you think about it, you have to let someone make room for you.

The height of the house is not as high as that of a courtyard house, at least the ceiling is high there.

In short, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but now there are apartment buildings with toilets and kitchens in the house. There are many people who have sharpened their heads and want to be allocated a room. People like him who have no heels are queuing up. Can't even get ahead.

What's wrong with him now?Hehe, nothing is bad except his wife, and this is the one that bothers him the most.

Forget it, don’t think about it, there must be a way for the car to go to the front of the mountain, the big deal is to ask someone to introduce it later, not everyone is like this.

Staggeringly came to the guard room at the gate, sitting outside the room with Lao Zheng on a stool, smoking a cigarette and playing chess, which has a special flavor.

"Aren't you going to live in this courtyard with the old man in the future, boy?"

"That can't be done. I've packed up my house today, and I'll move back in two days. At that time, you will be the only one left in this yard after get off work at night."

"Your family? I didn't hear you say it. I thought you weren't from Forty-Nine City." Old Zheng picked up the chess and was just about to leave, but he was a little surprised when he heard Li Heng's words.

"Hey, it's really not true. My family came to Sijiu City in [-], and I went to the army right after. No, I just came back at the beginning of the month."

"Who else is there?"

"No, I'm the only one left. You should know about the explosion in November last year."

"Of course I know, why, your family..."

"That's right, my father and my brother disappeared on the spot, and that's why I came back."

"Huh... I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to you kid. Alas, time is fate. Think about it, Er Heng."

"Don't worry, old man. I'm thinking about it. They're all gone. No matter what I do, they won't come back. Instead of torturing myself, it's better to live a good life so that their spirits in heaven can be comforted."

"Right, that's how it should be. The dead are gone, and the living must move forward."

"Old man, why don't you find one? Just plan to live like this with one person?"

"Hey~ Don't mention this, let's play chess and chess."

Li Heng raised his eyes and looked at Old Zheng. This old man is also a man with a story.

But that's right, there are a few people who came over in the turbulent era who have no stories.

Since people didn't want to talk about it, he stopped asking and started playing chess seriously.

Seeing that the sky was completely dark, the headlights outside the guard had been turned on, and the enthusiasm of the two of them fighting on the chessboard was still undiminished. The two stinky chess baskets met each other and had a good time playing. It has been like this for the past few days .

Suddenly, there was a "bang bang bang" knock on the door, accompanied by a shout: "Old Zheng, Lao Zheng."

Li Heng was stunned for a moment. It's past eight o'clock and someone is here?
He looked up, and when he saw Lao Zheng's embarrassing expression, he realized something instantly.

He casually threw the chess in his hand on the board, and stood up: "Okay, you go and open the door, I'm entering the house."

After speaking, he didn't wait for anyone's reaction, and walked straight to the office.

What else could he be doing so late? It must be taking advantage of the fact that no one came over to do some shopping at night, and Lao Zheng also took advantage of this time to make some extra money.

But he believes that this kind of thing will not be too many, at most once, twice, or three times a month.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. He doesn't want to be that bad guy, he just pretends he doesn't know about it and it's over.

Old Zheng stared at Li Heng's back in a daze. He didn't expect that this new deputy station chief was still a wonderful person!
The brain reacts fast enough, and can think of what is going on in an instant.

The person outside the gate was still knocking on the door, but the voice was not as loud as before.

"Come on, don't knock."

Lao Zheng limped and walked slowly, and opened the small door on the main gate.

Standing at the door of "Lao Zheng" was a middle-aged man in his 40s. When he saw Lao Zheng, he handed him a few packs of cigarettes before walking in.

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw the lights in the station master's office on, which surprised him.

"Is your leader here? Then don't say anything, I'll come back next time." After saying this, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and find something, that's our new deputy station master, he lives in the office, you speed up, three to four 10 minutes at most today, it can't be longer."

"Ah? Old Zheng, are you really all right?"

"If you are told to go, go quickly, why mother-in-law."

"Hey, didn't I worry about hurting you?"

"Hurry up." Lao Zheng waved his hand, signaling the middle-aged man to quickly find what he needed, and he closed the small door casually.

The middle-aged man saw that he didn't look like he was joking, so he took out a flashlight from his bag, and ran towards the place where the waste was piled up behind him.

Old Zheng stood at the gate, lit another cigarette for himself, and looked at the station master's office.

After more than ten days of contact, he always felt that this deputy station chief was not simple, not like a simple battalion-level cadre.

Whether it's conversation, or some insights that are occasionally revealed during chatting, they are not like ordinary people.

When he was young, he also served as a guard for some high-ranking officials. He has seen a lot of the world and met a lot of high-ranking officials, but Li Heng is like a cloud of fog in his eyes, and he can't see clearly. well.
