The original owner's memory was not wrong, and his own memory was not wrong either. The fault was in the time.
With Director Sun's explanation, He Xiaocai realized what was going on. Most of the properties in the courtyard belong to the deaf old lady. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the old lady took the initiative to hand over all the properties to the state, leaving only one property in the backyard. However, she also offered to let the state help provide for the elderly. So after the old lady died, Zhuzi just got a piece of property in the backyard.
When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, that familiar yet strange feeling hit me again.
"You should be familiar with it! The reverse house here was used to open a supply and marketing cooperative. This also makes it convenient for the residents here." Director Sun pointed to the supply and marketing cooperative next to it and said, "Let's go in."
Entering the gate, there is a screen wall in front of you. You bypass the screen wall and come to the hanging flower door. As soon as he entered the Chuihua Gate, He Xiaotian saw a thin middle-aged man standing up.
"Director Sun, you are here!"
"Hehehe, Lao Yan. Xiaotian, do you still remember Lao Yan?"
Yan Fugui is slightly different from the one on TV. At this time, Yan Fugui is even thinner than the one on TV. He looks like a bamboo pole when he stands there.
"Xiaotian? The second child of the He family!" Yan Fugui slowly matched the person in front of him with the person in his memory.
He Xiaotian also smiled and said, "It's me, Yan Laoji!"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to still remember me! It's such an honor for me. It's just that no one has called me by this old name for many years."
When people in the front yard heard that the second son of the He family was back, they immediately put down their work and came to watch.
"Is this Shazhu's uncle?"
"The two of them look nothing alike, do they?"
"Yeah! It's not like He Daqing either!"
"Let's go to the middle courtyard to chat." Director Sun took the lead and walked to the middle courtyard.
The movement in the front yard naturally spread to the middle yard quickly. Qin Huairu was washing clothes and immediately walked to the front yard when she heard the noise. When she heard that Shazhu's uncle was back, she immediately turned back to the middle yard.
"Silly Zhu! Rainwater! Your uncle is back! Come out quickly!"
He Yuzhu and He Yuyu in the room heard what Qin Huairu said and opened the door immediately.
"Where is it? My brother-in-law..." Shazhu was stunned before he could finish his words.
A group of people surrounded Director Sun, He Xiaotian, and Yan Fugui as they entered the middle courtyard.
"Uncle!" Perhaps because of their blood connection, He Yuzhu recognized He Xiaotian immediately. Then he ran over and hugged He Xiaotian with open arms.
"Uncle! I miss you so much! Why haven't you come back to see me all these years? Even if you just write me a letter." He Yuzhu's tears fell.
He Xiaotian could only let go of his hand and let the bag in his hand fall to the ground. He opened his arms and patted He Yuzhu lightly. Maybe you can only learn to cherish things after losing them. He Xiaotian understood He Yuzhu's mood at this time.
"Okay, Zhuzi. There are still so many people watching." He Xiaotian comforted him with gentle words.
"Yes, Zhuzi. Didn't you see that your brother-in-law's legs are still strong? Let's talk after we enter the room." Director Sun reminded He Yuzhu.
"Uh-huh, look at me! Yuyu!" He Yuzhu quickly turned to call He Yuyu. "Uncle, this is my sister and your niece He Yuyu."
"Hello, uncle."
"Hehehe, you too."
He Yuyu saw Yan Fugui helping to pick up the bag on the ground, and she also had the foresight to walk over and pick up the other bag.
"Let's go, uncle, let's go into the house." He Yuzhu supported He Xiaotian.
"Hehehe, I'm not old enough to ask you to help me yet. Let's go to the west courtyard first."
"Yes, yes! Look at my brain. Uncle, how about I help you carry it." Only then did He Yuzhu notice that He Xiaotian was carrying a big bag behind him.
"No."
Director Sun knew that the big bag behind He Xiaotian contained important things such as job transfer materials, household registration, grain books, and non-staple food books, so he quickly asked them to go to the West Hospital first.
He Xiaotian saw Yi Zhonghai standing at the door of the east wing and Jia Zhang standing at the door of the west wing. There was something wrong with both of their expressions. When Yi Zhonghai saw He Xiaotian looking at him, he immediately greeted him with a smile. When He Xiaotian turned around, his face darkened again. Jia Zhangshi gave He Xiaotian a look, but Jia Zhangshi was really fat. But what about Qin Huairu?
It turned out that Qin Huairu entered He Yuzhu's house in advance and helped He Yuzhu clean up!
The west courtyard was crowded with people, and there were even heads on the walls.
The area of the west courtyard is not small, almost two hundred square meters. A two-room house was built inside, and the rest was open space. The house is very new. He Xiaotian has already learned from Director Sun that the house has been renovated with help from the street, and a kang has been set up for him. There is also a table and a few stools, but other furniture and daily necessities have not been prepared for him.
After putting away his luggage, He Xiaotian took out a cigarette from his bag, opened it and took out a pack, and handed the rest to He Yuzhu. "Zhuzi, help me disperse."
"Okay! Uncle, it's too cold here, come to my place. I'll light the fire in a while, and it will be warm here after dinner." He Yuzhu took the cigarette and began to spread the smoke to the people in the courtyard.
"Yes, yes, it's still too cold here." Yan Fugui said as he took the cigarette.
So He Xiaotian locked the door, and the group walked to He Yuzhu's house.
As soon as I left the west courtyard, I happened to meet an old deaf lady.
"Old lady, why are you coming out too?" He Yuzhu immediately stepped forward to help.
"Didn't I hear that your uncle is back? Come and meet him."
"Aunt! I'm back!" He Xiaotian nodded while watching, "It seems that these old ladies take good care of He Yuzhu!"
"You fool! Is it really you?" The deaf old lady looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. "Didn't I say that you have become stupid and stupid?"
"Hehehe, okay! Good morning!" He Xiaotian smiled.
"Okay, okay, okay!" The deaf old lady said three good words in a row.
"I said let's talk inside first." Director Sun looked at this scene and couldn't bear to ruin it, but it was really cold outside.
"Yes, yes! Old lady, let's go inside and chat." He Yuzhu helped the old lady walk home.
"Lao Yi, Lao Liu, you two are here too."
"Hello, Director Sun."
"First Master, Second Master, don't be polite, let's go inside and chat." He Yuzhu greeted and helped the old lady into the house.
He Xiaotian, Director Sun and He Yuyu also followed into the house. Perhaps because there were so many people, no one noticed that Qin Huairu was also inside. Only He Xiaotian noticed, "Huh? He Yuzhu is getting close to Qin Huairu at this time? Shouldn't it be?"
Everyone looked for a place to sit down, but of course no one dared to sit at the table.
Director Sun, the old lady, He Xiaotian, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui sat down around the table.
He Yuzhu was busy pouring tea for several people, and He Yuzhu took out the peanut and melon seed candies that had been prepared to entertain everyone.
