226 The Grandma in the Alley(1/2)

At the entrance of the small building, there is a small stove burned by neighbors in the alley. On the stove is a teapot with water.

Not far from this small building, there was a street light telephone pole tilted, and a white and tender little Nannan was wearing two braids, wearing a flowery skirt, and jumping with the rubber band tied between the two poles.

This leisurely scene is completely different from the alleys in Beijing.

With some moisture from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no coolness in the north at all.

"Grandma, I'm here to pick up my uncle."

With a whistle, the window upstairs was pushed open.

It was an old woman with silver hair, with very neatly cut half-length hair.

All the hair was combed behind the ears with a particularly elegant tooth comb on the sideburns.

The old woman only glanced down and smiled.

Although there were wrinkles on the corners of her eyes and mouth, this smile still showed her charm when she was young.

"Yeah, this is my nephew and nephew. Come on, I've heard my old sister talk to you for a long time."

"Now I've seen a real person."

"Hurry, Adong, if you don't bring the guests up, your grandfather's meal will be ready soon. We'll have to start eating now."

This man named Adong was very happy after seeing this grandma.

He responded happily: Alas! He waved to Shen Yaojun: "Go upstairs, this is my grandma, your aunt."

After saying this, the young man, who looked a little white and weak, changed his original softness. He carried the box and walked steadily with Shen Du and his son to the second floor.

When we entered the small building, the light around us became much dimmed, but when the three of us walked around the stairs and climbed the second floor, the space suddenly became spacious.

It turned out that there should be a tube building on this floor where four families lived.

However, with the relocation of the people who originally lived in it, now only Shen Yaojun's aunt and family are left living here.

Of course, the reason why their family lived in a down-to-earth manner and renovated the second-floor corridor without any scruples...

That's because during the aunt's operation, every time a family is moved out, Shen Yaojun's aunt will find a way to buy the house of the family she intends to move out.

When my aunt bought it three times, the building was equipped with a public door underneath, and the kitchen and toilets were all public tubes, and it became a single-family building that belonged to my aunt's family.

Nowadays, just shrinking the door on the first floor is equivalent to locking the door for your own home.

This matter has been talked about in the entire alley until now.

In 2005, although the housing in old Shanghai was extremely tight, the surrounding area was in a process of crazy expansion, and many new high-rise buildings emerged in the outer areas of Shanghai.

At this time, the super luxurious house prices did not rise to an unbearable level.

The elderly in the city are unwilling to move to the peripheral area, but they are not like Shen Yaojun's aunt, and they also buy old houses in the city.

So the neighbors around him were deeply confused by the old Beijing lady's approach.

But my family who was so lucky to be able to go up to the second floor knew how good this old lady was to enjoy life.

She opened up all four small houses, and re-divided the area without changing the original main structure.

I even felt that I had hallucinated my illusion after reaching the second level.

Because of this ancient and ancient color, it is full of historical nobility and low-key luxury four-bedroom and one-living room everywhere, which is like a residence in the Grand View Garden that only exists in calligraphy and painting.

It is truly both noble and elegant.

What kind of people living here are like? You just need to look at the house and you will understand the general idea.

"grandmother!"

Just when Shen Du and his two were a little dazed because of the layout of the second floor, Adong, who was helping to move the luggage, happily put his luggage into the corner of the hall, and went to the room that has been transformed into a study.

Due to ventilation and lighting, the walls of this room are not brick walls with extremely strong sealing properties, but are partitions made of hollow screens.

So, Shen Du saw his cousin's cousin through the vermilion wood carved partition. As soon as he pushed the door of the study, he came to the aunt who stood on the second floor and opened the window and asked them to come up.

"Is it Junzi? Come on, don't be stunned and put down your things quickly. Let's sit down and rest."

However, Dongzi's pleading did not receive a corresponding response.

The aunt focused all her attention on the two guests behind him.

"You drink some tea made by your aunt first. Your uncle will be ready to cook the last dish."

"We'll have a home-cooked meal together."

After saying that, Chen Yaojun's cousin stepped out of the study with a smile, reached out to welcome the father and son into the chair in the hall.

These chairs are covered with black tung paint. At first glance, they are old objects carefully maintained by the owner.

Because the paint on the top is often wiped, it is actually shiny and very warm.

The format of this chair is different from the large opening and closing of antique furniture in northern China.

The small parts are exquisite and elegant, and the large parts are gentle and small, which is the unique furniture culture of the Jiangnan water town.

These chairs with backrests are combined with a set of small cases of the same color.

The round eight treasures are engraved on the legs of the table, and the orchids are shyly waiting to be released.

The small tea cup with bottom dyed with white porcelain and black ink is also a bit expensive for no reason.

Just looking at this teacup with furniture, I feel that it is particularly profound.

This tea cup is not expensive.

On the contrary, today, especially honeysuckle, which rarely enters northerners.

The big honeysuckle with a faint orange blossom bloomed with a slight orange color, and the largest petal that I could expand in my life was stimulated by the hot water of 80 degrees.

Because the teacup was not big, it only had a flower, filled the entire teacup.

Just looking at this cup of tea, even if it is not eaten, it is particularly pleasing to the eye.

The father and son of the Shen family have always wanted to drink tea with big bowls and tons of tons, but they have never seen such a delicate posture. They looked at the flowers in the tea bowl, and they couldn't bear to sip.

Seeing the old lady who was already sitting in her seat, she was suddenly happy.

When she enthusiastically opened Chen Yaojun and Chen Du, the two of them suddenly became less reserved and instantly returned to their heartless normal state.

Because this old lady, as soon as she spoke, hey, a pure and authentic Beijing movie.

After years of hardship, the coolness of the Beijing girl is still unchanged.

"Well? Why can't I get used to drinking tea? But isn't drinking jasmine at this time unsatisfactory?"

"The south is wet and dry, and October is rainy. Don't drink some flowers to remove fire, and you can't wait for the situation?"

"Don't think it's rare. This pharmacy and teahouse can be seen everywhere. One or two dollars can get you a lot of money."

"Jasmine in our Beijing, it's not worth it."

It is just because of this Beijing-style Beijing rhyme that the deepness far away in the Demon City suddenly feels so close.

These two were not pretentious and charming. As the old lady said, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

There is no special feeling when entering the mouth. There is only a scent of flowers that permeates the mouth. It is not strong and even has a little effect of removing the odor from the mouth and cleaning up impurities in the mouth.

Just as these two people were tasting tea, a particularly pleasant smell suddenly came out of the hall.

The salty aroma was so strong that it covered the fragrance of flowers in the tea bowl that kept drilling into the deep nostrils.

"The meal is ready, my wife, let Adong serve the meal."

The accent is completely opposite to their aunt.

It has a good temper.

In response to this sound, Chen Du took a look and the eyes of his cousin named A Dong, who was standing behind his aunt, suddenly showed a blue light.

"Hey! I know, my lord, I'll serve you food now."

After saying that, Ah Dong ran straight to the location of a small corridor outside the hall, and turned his head to look at it along the depths. It was the place where the aroma of food drifted out.

Seeing the two father and son of the Shen family curious, the aunt sitting in front smiled: "My old man, the cooking is delicious."

"I used my top cooking skills to sweep the entire Construction Corps and took down the flowers of my many corps."

"When I was able to go back to the city, your mother and I also wondered if we would go back to Beijing."

"But I just couldn't bear to give up on his meal, so I followed him back to Shanghai with a bunch of money."

Speaking of this, my aunt was full of nostalgia, but she couldn't stop her tender attachment. Looking at the direction of the kitchen, she was indescribable with deep friendship: "It's a blessing for your uncle, who has not lost his long-term skills."

"I love eating, so he cooks it. It has been decades since he has filled the meals at home, and his skills are getting better and better."

"You guys have a good time, let's try your uncle's specialty today."

"I'm here in Shanghai, I'll eat this dish, authentic."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time to come to Shanghai?"

Oh my god, what should I do if I look forward to it even more?

Chen Du could hear his father swallowing, and he hoped that the brother named Adong would quickly bring the dishes out and let this feast about food enter early.
