Chapter 104 Returnees(1/4)

When Lao Zhang, who is 301 on the third floor, died, his son did not come back from school. Now, Aunt Liu, who is 302, has two families, including Sun Siqing, who is 303. When they meet on weekdays, they will sometimes say hello politely and chat a few times. Sometimes you leave yours, and I leave mine, and no one knows anyone, especially when Sun Siqing has drunk.

Sun Siqing drank high last night and heard the child's crying in the middle of the night. It sounded very annoying and noisy. He covered his head with a blanket, but he still felt it was noisy, so he broke into the ceiling and cursed.

"I'll cry if I'll cry again, and I'll strangle you to death if I cry again!"

Babies under three months old are still very young, uncomfortable, hungry, cold and hot, scared, or wronged, they can only express themselves by crying, and they will have to cry for a while before they stop.

The baby's crying sounded sharply, as if it could penetrate the beams of the room.

Sun Siqing sneered and fell asleep. He went upstairs early in the morning to knock on the door and settle the score with the household above his head. He was very angry. He thought that the child cried and quarreled until people fell asleep in the middle of the night. This matter must be explained.

Although the neighbors are all upstairs and downstairs, they will be a little embarrassed when they meet, but the child is not his. Why should he suffer this crime?

Sun Siqing didn't feel that he was usually drunk. He came back in the middle of the night and shouted in the corridor.

Standing at the door of 403, Sun Siqing slapped the door and his hands were red. There was no movement in the door. He cursed a few swear words outside the door, but he didn't sleep enough, and yawned one by one. He was so angry that he kicked the door, intending to go downstairs and go back to the house to sleep.

Aunt Liu and Zhou Chunlian have a good relationship, and they are a veteran. They know that being a mother is so tired that she has to go upstairs to give her pig's feet, so they happened to meet Sun Siqing.

One goes upstairs and the other goes downstairs, which is a very ordinary scene, but at this moment, the atmosphere in the corridor is very strange and unspeakable.

Aunt Liu looked at the gray slippers on Sun Siqing's feet, then looked at his fierce face, and breathed a sigh of relief to his heart.

When Sun Siqing walked down two levels, he saw Aunt Liu suddenly retreating down the stairs, her drooping bags shaking, and she looked like she was seeing a ghost, panicked and afraid.

Coughing, Sun Siqing smiled, "Sister, come and give food to his wife named Li again? Pig's feet? You are so kind-hearted."

"But people are not at home, so you can send them later. By the way, I will send them to me. The children cry at night, which is too noisy. If parents can't coax them, they will let the elderly at home come and help. They are all neighbors, and I don't want everyone to make trouble."

Aunt Liu didn't care about what Sun Siqing said. She ran away without paying attention. She fell down unsteadily and fell heavily to the ground. She shouted "Ouch" twice in a row, but she couldn't get up for a long time.

The door was suddenly opened on the fourth floor. The tall and thin young woman came out of the 402 with her bag. She held the door handle through the tissue and closed the door. She walked to the entrance of the stairs and looked down. She found Sun Siqing standing on the steps, neither up nor down.

Aunt Liu fell on the corridor between the third and fourth floors. She was very uneasy. Her turbid vision passed Sun Siqing and landed on the young woman at the entrance of the stairs, with careful requests for help.

For a moment, the atmosphere became even more strange.

Sun Siqing twisted his neck back, "Look at what I'm doing, it's my eldest sister who fell by herself, it has nothing to do with me!"

Aunt Liu seemed to be afraid of angering Sun Siqing, so she hurriedly said, "Boss Sun is right. I accidentally fell down. Little girl, you..."

The footsteps of the young woman going downstairs interrupted Aunt Liu. She was wearing black leather shoes, and the shoes were cleaned and there was no soil in the heels. The sound of the striking sound came from the fourth floor to the downstairs, and went downstairs, without stopping for a second in the middle.

When Huang Dan showed up with a garbage bag, he had only time to catch the young woman next door turning the stairs. Her name was Zhao Xiao, an outsider. She is a salesperson in a real estate company. She is one year younger than the original owner and only twenty years younger. She moved here this year and is not familiar with her neighbors.

When Aunt Liu saw the young man, she swallowed the "Oh" and shouted with hope, "Xiao Ji, help me."

Huang Dan threw down the garbage bag and helped the old man up, "Auntie, are you okay? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

Aunt Liu said no, "You can help me back."

Huang Dan glanced at Sun Siqing. He greeted him politely and got close to his neighbor, "Uncle Sun is early."

Sun Siqing nodded, quite satisfied with the youth's behavior of not ignoring himself. He slowly went downstairs, "Sister, your body is incomparable to the young. Fortunately, you didn't have a big problem this time, otherwise I would be sad."

Aunt Liu said something unnatural. Before she could speak, she heard the young man holding her next to her say, "Uncle Sun, I bought the slippers too big, and it is inconvenient to wear them. It seems that the ones on your feet are two sizes bigger, so it is better to change to a pair of them."

Huang Dan noticed that Aunt Liu looked at Sun Siqing's slippers, and his eyes were very wrong. He had some guess in his mind and said this.

Sun Siqing looked down and said, "This shoe is not mine."

Huang Dan Laran showed a surprised expression, "Did you buy it and don't wear it much? You remember it wrong?"

Sun Siqing said that he remembered correctly, "The shoes are so old and have a big size. What should I do if I buy them back? It's not a problem."

He took out his feet, picked up his slippers and looked in front of him, "Size 43, the shoes are quite new, it shouldn't be worn for long, whose one? Why are they in my house?"

Huang Dan said, "That's really strange. Could it be that Boss Sun got it back from outside after drinking too much?"

"What the hell knows."

Sun Siqing yawned, and he threw his slippers into the corridor casually and went downstairs barefoot. Then there was the sound of the door opening and closing.

Huang Shan found the old man trembling, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Liu grabbed Huang Dan's clothes and said, "The waist flashed. Xiao Ji, please help me back and lie down."

Huang Dan helped the old man downstairs step by step, knocked on the door of 302, and an old voice came from inside, asking who to look for.

There is no monitoring in this building, and there is no pressing the cat's eyes on the door. Asking a question is considered to be vigilant. Most people here open the door directly when they hear knocking on the door, and their self-protection awareness is very weak.

Even if there are news reports such as thieves taking the opportunity to rob and kill people, they still can't change their habits.

Uncle Liu looked at his wife, looked tight, and quickly took the person into his hand, and carefully helped him in with his dry hands, "I was fine when I went out, why did I become like this when I came back?"

Aunt Liu put the pig's feet he brought back on the coffee table and did not answer her wife. She said to the young man, "Xiao Ji, if it weren't for you, the aunt would still be lying on the ground now. Next time, the aunt made delicious food and invited you to eat at home."

This is clear, no one will be left behind.

Huang Dan was not silly waiting. He turned around and left, and took the door with him. The next moment, the metal sound of the plug-in came into his ears.

Aunt Liu in the room endured the back pain and said in a low voice, "Old Liu, something happened."

Mr. Liu inserted the latch as his wife asked, and when she heard her say this, she was even more confused, "What's wrong? You finish it in one breath, don't break it, otherwise I will be able to have a heart attack."

Aunt Liu told her wife about the slippers, and her face was full of confusion, "Old Liu, what's going on? How could the slippers I threw away some time ago be worn on Sun Siqing's feet?"

Uncle Liu picked up the teacup and wanted to drink a sip of tea, but put it down again. He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, "Just Sun Siqing is just like a way to drink himself to death. It is common for him to drink fragments. Once he drinks too much, how can he remember what he has done?"

Aunt Liu took on this, "What do you mean is that Sun Siqing drank a lot one night. He treated the third floor as the fourth floor and took back the slippers we placed at the door, but he didn't remember this?"

Mr. Liu slapped the table and said, "Yes, that's it."

"You didn't hear the ghost screams in the corridor last night. I drank at least half a pound. When I went back, I must have been trying to do anything in the house and took out the slippers from the corner that I threw out. This morning, others were confused. They went out after wearing slippers and didn't look carefully."

Aunt Liu said, "Sun Siqing drank a lot and vomited everywhere. When I went out to buy vegetables in the morning, I met Xiao Li cleaning up the place where he vomited. It smelled so much, but why did I feel it..."

Uncle Liu waved his hand and did not let his wife say, "Okay, okay, don't think about it anymore. If you continue thinking about it, you can't think of a person who is Chou Yin and Mao."

He looked stern, "Don't pick up those slippers in the corridor, no matter who asks, don't say it's ours."

Aunt Liu said he knew, and she thought, "Old Liu, let's call my son. He is very smart. If he can come back, he might find some good news."

Mr. Liu snorted coldly, "He is a busy man. He wants to ask him to go home for a meal. He has to make an appointment a month or two in advance. Can he come back because of a pair of slippers? I saw that he heard it, at most he asked if we had no money and had time to get some money for us."

Aunt Liu was unhappy when she heard this, "What are you doing with a sarcastic attitude? My son has to work and support his family outside. I don't know how hard it is."

Uncle Liu sat on the small bamboo chair, "Who doesn't want to support his family? It's not him. Besides, women are busy with their careers now. If a man enjoys a happy life, can it be reasonable? If you want to call you, I won't call anyway."

Aunt Liu called her son.

Uncle Liu suddenly pricked his ears and vaguely heard his wife's voice, "Don't you have time? Well, let's talk about it later, nothing is wrong, okay, your dad and I are all right." He snorted heavily, with disappointment in his eyes.

"Unfilial son!"

Huang Dan went upstairs, and Sun Siqing was shooting the door outside door 403 opposite, and he had heard it a long time ago.

At this point, Li Shun went to work, and Zhou Chunlian, a woman, was at home, and it was unsafe, and it would be very unfavorable to have conflicts with others. It was normal for her to pretend that she was not there.

Huang Dan was about to open the door and enter the room, but he paused and decided to go to the top floor temporarily.

The windows in the corridor are closed, stuffy and hot, there is a lot of dust in the air, and it is very uncomfortable to stick to the pores.

When Huang Dan went up, he saw a mess of cardboard boxes. He stretched his head in and found that the door of 503 was open, and the sound of answering the phone was heard from inside.

There is a house in this building that sells things on Taobao. The courier carries the package up and down every day. The neighbors gradually know that uncles, aunts, old men and women will come over to take a look. In addition to buying the supplies they need, they will also take the things they want to send at home and give them to the courier by the way. The price is even cheaper.

Wang Zhi was not surprised when he saw the young man at the door. He got used to it and asked casually, "Do you have something to do?"

Huang Dan hasn't caught Wang Zhi these days, so he doesn't know him yet, "I live downstairs."

Wang Zhi said, "You are from 401, right?"

He stretched out a finger and pushed the glasses on his nose. "I know Brother Li's family at 403, Zhao Xiaochang from 402, came to me to buy things. The old lady from 401 passed away. I heard that her family had just moved in. I haven't seen her before. It must be you."

Huang Dan nodded, "That's my grandmother."

Wang Zhi looked at it and said, "You don't look like your grandmother."

Huang Dan said, "I look like my dad."

Wang Zhi smiled. He was short and thin. When he smiled, his mouth almost grinned at the base of his ears, and it had nothing to do with his handsomeness. "I have seen the photos of your grandmother when she was young. It was very beautiful. If you were like her, you would definitely be as beautiful as a girl."

Huang Dan was surprised by Wang Zhi’s understanding of the original owner’s grandmother. He changed the topic and pointed to the house, “What are you selling?”

Wang Zhi said enthusiastically, "Grocery sellers, come in and see."

Huang Dan followed Wang Zhi into the house. From the door to the living room, it was very messy. There were no wooden boards or tiles on the floor, there were cement, and there were no paints on the walls. The whole house was a rough house.

Wang Zhi kicked a few cardboard boxes in the center of the living room and asked Huang Dan to watch it casually, "I'm a little messy here and I don't have time to clean up."

Huang Dan looked around and said, "Did you rent this house?"

Wang Zhi packed the newspaper on the chair into the garbage can, "Yes, I rented it, I'm so angry when I talk about this. The rent will increase by 600 yuan. If you don't give it, you will rent it to someone else, and you will not have any human touch."

Huang Dan pointed to the desktop computer on the table, "Wangwang is ringing."

Wang Zhi held the mouse and pointed the window out. He sweared and forked the window, "Fuck, everyone has it. I just bought a piece of soap for two pieces of five pieces, and I want me to ship free of charge."

Huang Shan asked, "How is the business?"

Wang Zhi said it was okay, and he crossed his legs, answered customers while chewing gum, and answered calls from time to time to handle the after-sales service. He was very busy, but he didn't hire anyone.

Huang Dan sat on the chair and saw a random tape measure, tape, large plastic water cup, headbands worn by girls, and underwear on the ground. Wang Zhi sold a lot of things, "Is you a returnee next door?"
