Soon, walking through the streets and alleys, it didn't take long for Li Yange to follow a somewhat vague memory and came to a strange and familiar alley.

This is an old alley, called Mozi Lane, according to legend, the Mo family giant once came here, and the descendants named Mozi Lane in order to commemorate. Of course, this is just a fool's talk from later generations, and this alley is at most a hundred years old.

Mozi Lane is very long, about 100 meters, the tiled houses scattered on both sides of the road, at least there are more than 20 years of history, some of them are buildings before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, at a glance, the gray walls and black tiles, very old.

The tiled houses in the old lane are a bit like the courtyard houses in the capital, but the people who live in them are not neighbors, but a large family from grandparents to grandchildren.

In the 80s, there was still a little tradition of the old society, as long as the older generation was still there, few of the next generation would propose to move out, most of them were brothers and sisters living together, maintaining the tradition of a family since ancient times.

Walking into this old alley, there was a sour smell on his face, Li Yange subconsciously covered his nose, looked around, and found that there were two urine buckets under the corner of the wall not far away.

Seeing the urine bucket that he hadn't seen for many years, Li Yange covered his nose and walked quickly, after so many years, he almost forgot that this old alley would be covered with a foul smell every morning.

Because the public toilet is at the end of the laneway, in the dead of night, everyone is too lazy to go out in the dark, so they take the urine bucket to solve it at home.

Early the next morning, there will be a special manure truck that hauls large manure, which will come to the old alleys to be collected day after day, and sent to the towns below to be handed over to farmers for irrigation.

This situation lasted until the 90s, when the domestic fertilizer production increased and the city's underground sewage pipes were restructured, and the manure water was no longer as important as it used to be, and gradually no one came to collect it.

After walking more than ten meters away from the two urine buckets, Li Yange let go of his hand slightly, sniffed with his nose, and after confirming that there was no smell of "night primrose", he finally returned to his normal way of breathing.

"Yan Ge!"

Hearing a familiar voice calling herself, Li Yange was slightly stunned, and slowly looked up, only to see a woman in her forties in front of a tiled house, with short black hair, wearing dark blue staff clothes, waving at the door of the tiled house with a smile on her face.

"Mom!"

Looking at the gray-haired old man who gradually coincided with the figure that finally overlapped decades later, Li Yange's eyes instantly turned red, he didn't expect that he would be able to see the mother with jet-black hair, few wrinkles on her face, and no age spots in his memory.

Dong Qiuhua noticed that his son's eyes were red, his smile immediately changed, and he walked quickly and said nervously: "What's the matter, why are you still crying, who bullied you?" Tell Mom, Mom will support you! ”

"Mom...... No one bullied me, but the urine bucket at the entrance of the alley was smoked. ”

Li Yange choked a few words, and quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, when he was still in a state of confusion in the morning, he was dragged out by Yu Chengli, and the family had already gone to work at that time, so now when he saw his young mother, he was both happy and excited.

It's ridiculous to say that people in their fifties are still crying with red eyes and noses, and if those friends in later generations know about it, I'm afraid they will have to laugh off their big teeth.

Dong Qiuhua looked up, and the two bright urine buckets in the corner of the alley looked so abrupt in this fairly clean alleyway.

I saw Dong Qiuhua frowning, and immediately crossed his hands on his waist, and scolded at the urine bucket at the entrance of the alley, "If you suffer a thousand knives, you don't take the urine bucket out in the morning, and take it out at noon, how can you get it?" Your family is so good at pooping and peeing? Or do you want to pull it after you finish eating? It's been more than ten years, and you're used to doing evil, right? Why don't you know how to change it, no wonder you can't give birth to ....... ”

Seeing her mother's scolding on the street, the straightforward and bold personality of the hot girl in Sichuan Province was vividly displayed, Li Yange was slightly stunned at first, and then showed a long-lost smile.

Yes, when my mother was young, she was indeed such a straightforward and unafraid character, which was not until the urban reform initiated in the 90s, after the tile house was completely demolished and rebuilt into a modern community, the exclusive and unique family also lost the love of neighborhood, and the age was older, which only restrained the impatient temperament of youth.

"Okay, Mom, that family is this virtue, it's a waste of your saliva, let's go home and close the door for dinner."

Li Yange took his mother's hand and entered the house, and closed the door with his hand, he also recalled at this time that the family at the entrance of the alley was indeed a shameless second-rate child.

Just because I dislike the public toilet has to walk about 100 meters long, I am also at home during the day.

At home during the day, I am at home, but after going to the toilet, the urine bucket must not be put at home, otherwise, wouldn't it stink at home?

So every day from morning to night, there are one or two urine buckets at the door of their house, Li Yange still vaguely remembers that he seems to have grown up, every time he passes by the alley, he will see those two urine buckets that have been used for an unknown number of years, and every time he has to cover his nose and speed up.

……

Entering the gate, there are a little flowers and plants planted around the courtyard, in the middle is a place for walking and drying clothes, next to a stone table and a few wooden benches, and the green cucumber vines are scattered around with shelves

is still a picture in memory, Li Yange, who had a glimpse in the morning, didn't have time to see more, so he was dragged away by Yu Chengli.

Now take a closer look, this small courtyard is still very emotional, the old is a little old, but the independent courtyard is much stronger than those who live in the narrow tube building, the only inconvenient may be the problem of solving at night.

Grandpa Li Cheng, who was enjoying the shade under the cucumber vines, had actually heard his daughter-in-law scolding the street at the door of his house, but he had not made a sound. ”

"Grandpa."

Seeing this old man again, Li Yange only felt as if there were tears in his eyes again.

What's the matter, a person in his fifties, it's not enough to cry cat urine once, but it can't be cried a second time?

He secretly scolded himself for not being stable enough, but Li Yange's tears still couldn't stop flowing, fortunately, he had already noticed it, and while pretending to raise his arm to wipe the sweat stains on his forehead, he turned around and wiped away the wet tears from the corners of his eyes.

Unlike Li Yange, who has not seen his grandfather crying excitedly for more than 20 years, the old man Li Cheng at this time calmly leaned on the bamboo chair and shook his fan to enjoy the coolness, he can see his grandson every day, and he has never been separated since he was a child.

Looking at Dong Qiuhua, who was about to enter the kitchen to continue cooking lunch, the old man said earnestly: "I said Qiuhua, you have to change your temperament." Who is Lao Zhang's family at the entrance of the alley, you don't know, no matter how much you say, you won't change it, is it possible that you really come to the door to find trouble? What Yan Ge said just now is right, don't waste your tongue on that family, sooner or later they will be retributed. ”

"Dad, I'm not angry! The whole Mozi Lane is that their family puts the urine bucket at the door every day from morning to night, and the smell is stinking, and the people who live in the surrounding area say that our Mozi Lane is a stinky alley. How can one not be angry! ”

Looking at her mother Dong Qiuhua, who came back to complain, Li Yange smiled at the corner of her mouth, her mother is still the same.

Grandma's voice sounded in the kitchen, "Yan Ge, help grandma go up to the roof to get dried chili peppers, there are no chili peppers at home." ”

"Okay grandma."

Li Yange looked at the wooden ladder next to the well, climbed up in twos and threes, looked at the red shriveled peppers on the tiles, and picked up seven or eight at will, thinking that these should be enough.

When he was about to come down, he suddenly looked at the tiled house next door out of the corner of his eye, and saw a young girl in a white shirt with a small shovel in her hand walking out of the house.

The girl looked like she was about twenty years old, with long black hair coiled on the back of her head, pinned with a wooden chopstick, revealing a whole unpowdered goose egg face, a pair of watery black eyes, the long eyelashes under the willow eyebrows flickering, and a cherry mouth under the straight Qiong nose, every move perfectly interpreted what a gentle woman is.

Seeing this beautiful and gentle face that had almost been forgotten for decades, Li Yange was stunned, and immediately found the girl's name in that vague memory-Cheng Shaojun

Decades later, even if Li Yange is over fifty years old, he can never forget the name Cheng Shaojun.

Shaojun, Jungu has the meaning of a woman.

It is said that Cheng Shaojun's grandfather gave a word when she was still in her mother's womb, and in the future, both boys and girls can use the word Jun.

Peony was changed by Cheng Shaojun's father before parting.

When he was a teenager, Li Yange didn't know what he meant, until he was thirty years old, he participated in a friend's camellia party, and heard someone say that, he was stunned for a long, long time, and he still hasn't forgotten its meaning.

Jin Cui Bao's "Ancient and Modern Notes: Grass and Trees": "Peony, one can be separated, so don't give it away." ”

....
