"Dad?"

An Jianguo heard the sound of the door bolt outside, but he didn't hear the sound of knocking or calling the door, so he couldn't help but be a little worried, and hurriedly ran out of the house.

As a result, as soon as he walked into the yard, he ran into his own father.

An Jianguo was stunned and asked blankly, "Why are you here?"

This triple courtyard on the outskirts of the city was left by Grandpa An.

The house is a dilapidated brick house, red bricks and red tiles, a little old, and the tiles are a little crisp.

As soon as it rains, the house leaks.

Especially in the living room, a large cloud was soaked by the rain on the north wall, and when the air was wet, a layer of black mold would grow.

The house is an old house, the windows are not big, and the window frames are wood, the paint is a little peeling, it looks bulky and shabby, and the light in the house is not very good in the daytime.

The biggest advantage of this compound is that it is large enough.

The courtyard in front is hundreds of square meters, with three north houses, two west houses, and a small kitchen and bathroom in the courtyard.

In the past, when Grandpa An and Grandma An were still alive, in addition to taking care of their grandchildren, the old couple would also grow some vegetables in the yard in their spare time.

Therefore, the yard is not all paved with concrete floors or tiles, but is divided into vegetable patches.

You can grow vegetables at home, which is indeed a lot more convenient.

But there's a lot of trouble.

Because it's dirt, no matter how much you clean it, the yard looks dusty.

First, if it is windy and rainy, the yard will be even more muddy.

There is no toilet in the bungalow, so you can only go to the public toilet on the street, which is fine in summer, but if it is winter, it is really a bit fatal.

Moreover, it has become popular to live in buildings in recent years, which are clean, bright, and foreign.

Being able to live upstairs is a symbol of wealth and ability.

Even those elderly people like to move upstairs instead of living in inconvenient bungalows.

And with the construction of the city, the old houses in the urban area have been demolished.

In a prosperous area, it is rare to see bungalows.

That is, on the outskirts of the city, or in the countryside outside the city, people still live in bungalows.

This has led to a social ethos where everyone thinks that people who don't have money or are rural will live in bungalows.

And the people in the city, the rich people, should live in buildings.

There are two suites in the An family, one is this old house, and the other is a welfare house divided by An Tai Fook unit.

The area of the welfare house is not large, that is, two bedrooms and one living room.

But the advantage is that it is a building with a separate bathroom and kitchen.

The house was just built in the past two years, with snow-white walls, big fluorescent lights, and bright balconies, and the whole house looks bright and comfortable.

When An Dafu got this welfare house, An Jianguo's three siblings had already been squeezed out of An's house, and they couldn't live in a new house.

This is the biggest knot in their hearts, and it is also a reason why the three brothers and sisters hate An Dafu - it is obviously the building of their An family, but it turns out that their upright An family did not live for a day, but they cheapened Chang Qinghua's oil bottle!

Every time I go to Anjia, I see Chang Qinghua occupying a room by himself, and the beds, large wardrobes and writing desks in the room are all brand new.

And Chang Qinghua is even more of a "master" posture, only stabbing An Jianguo's three brothers and sisters to the point that their eyes hurt!

Coupled with many small things in daily life, there are more and more contradictions between An Jianguo's three siblings and An Dafu's father.

Even if it doesn't reach the point of turning against each other, it's not much worse.

For example, An Dafu's three brothers and sisters rarely set foot in the bungalow where An Jianguo's three siblings lived.

Suddenly came to the door today, isn't An Jianguo a little dumbfounded.

"Nonsense, my own house, I can come if I want!"

Anne snorted angrily, glanced around casually, and asked, "What about Jianfang and Jianjun?"

An Jianguo didn't know what his father was doing, he always had a bad premonition in his heart, and when he heard the question, he hurriedly replied, "Jianfang and Jianjun have gone to school." I—I forgot something, so I came back to get it. ”

Xu gave his father an unprecedented 200 yuan yesterday, so An Jianguo's attitude towards Anne was not so hostile.

Of course, it is also possible that he has lived under the pressure of his father for many years, and he has an instinctive fear of his father in his heart.

"Hmm. ”

Anne answered, glancing over the vegetable patch in the yard, and she saw that there were still fresh cucumbers.

On the shelves built with bamboo poles, the vegetable seedlings are crawling meanderingly, and the top flowers of cucumbers are thorny, and you have an appetite when you look at them.

Anne approached and reached out to pluck two.

Then, she spun around again.

At the beginning, in order to facilitate watering, Grandpa An had running water at home, and he still asked someone to dig a well in the yard.

An electric pump was added to the wellhead, and a water pipe was connected, and there was a rope on the side of the cement pool, just like the rope used to pull electric lights in the past.

With a slight pull, the motor starts, and the cold and clean well water flows out of the water pipe.

Anne went to the sink and found that the house should use it to wash clothes and vegetables.

Therefore, there are also washbasins, vegetable basins, washboards, cutting boards and other items piled up by the pool.

An Jia is a cook, and the guys used in the kitchen are very particular.

It's like a cutting board for chopping vegetables, and there are several kinds of boards.

There are ordinary cutting boards, wooden piers for chopping meat, and small cutting boards for cutting cooked food.

Anne bent down, found the cutting board from a pile of cutting boards, and pulled the rope.

Rumble~~

The electric pump starts and makes a roaring sound.

The well water flowed out with a bang.

Anne flushed the cutting board with well water, then washed a kitchen knife.

"Dad, what are you?"

An Jianguo followed Anne's side, looking at his father in a daze.

He's really a little confused, what is his father going to do?

"What, you're in a hurry to get out?"

Anne didn't even look at An Jianguo, and asked idly.

That's not nonsense!

It's still working time, and the chef "An Dafu" doesn't have to be nailed in the kitchen all the time, but An Jianguo, a temporary worker who chops vegetables, needs to be guarded all the time.

Thinking that there was still a big pot of potatoes in the kitchen that needed to be shredded, An Jianguo was a little anxious.

"Dad, I, I'm still at work. I just thought that I forgot to take something, so I deliberately told the team leader to come back and get it. ”

An Jianguo shook the cloth bag in his hand, and said a little impatiently, "I took two hours off, if I go back late, I will definitely be deducted." ”

He is a temporary worker, and his salary is only a few dozen yuan a month, and if he deducts two or three yuan because of "absenteeism" or something, then he is too wronged.

"No hurry!" Anne finished washing the cutting board and kitchen knife, and took out the cucumber that had just been thrown into the basin.

Shake it off and shake it off the cucumber and place it on the cutting board.

Don't be in a hurry?!Madan, it's not you who was deducted money, of course you're not in a hurry.

He is a young man in his early twenties, is it easy to earn some money every month, and he still has to support his younger siblings.

A few dollars may not be anything in the eyes of his father, it may be his cigarette money for two or three days, but for their brothers and sisters, it is a few days' living expenses!
