CHAPTER 3

On the day Su Yue moved, the residents of Dazayuan almost set off firecrackers and drums to make the sky noisy.

After finally sending away the God of Plague, adults and children can finally sleep peacefully.

Su Yue carried scattered clothes and a radio hidden by her father in a sack, and set off for the south of the city by bus.

First go to the new workplace to go through the entry procedures, transfer the grain account, and then start looking for a house.

However, the scarcity of houses these days is not something to brag about. It is very common for families of seven or eight to live in one house.

Su Yue ran all over the streets and alleys, whether it was public toilets or shared renting, she wanted to give herself the best conditions within her ability, so she couldn't find a suitable one after a day, so she took the letter of introduction and stayed in the guest house for one night.

The next day I went to the street to sweep the streets, but I still had to pretend, otherwise I would be expelled from this account and I would not know where to go.

Such days lasted for three consecutive days, and the three referral credits given by Director Qiu were exhausted. Seeing that she could no longer stay in the guest house tonight, Su Yong felt worried.

But probably she was the master who was favored by the goddess of luck. After getting off work in the afternoon, she dressed up in disguise and exchanged food near a machinery factory. She inquired about a house with a separate bathroom.

She made an appointment with the eldest sister who introduced the house at the gate of the guest house at 5:30, and she took her to see the house.

"Oh, it's late, didn't you wait long?"

The eldest sister who helped her find a house was met by Su Yue when she was selling food.

The elder sister's daughter was sick and did not have fine grains to nourish her stomach, and her nutrition could not keep up. After staying in the hospital for three days, she couldn't get better. It was the noodles in Su Yong's space that relieved her urgent needs.

Su Yue waved her hand indifferently: "It's not too late, I just arrived."

The eldest sister smiled and led the way while introducing Su Yue.

"That house is upstairs from my house. It has a large area, and the separate toilet and kitchen you mentioned. It is now lived by an old lady. I just asked for you. She said that a girl doll can live in it, as long as you Just pay eight yuan a month for rent!"

Su Yue automatically ignored other words, only hearing the attractive independent toilet and kitchen, her eyes suddenly shone with longing.

No need to squeeze public toilets, great!

"No problem! I can accept the rent of eight yuan!"

Sister Yang's home is far away from her work place, about 40 minutes' walk, in a small courtyard at No. 88 Baihui Street.

The situation in the courtyard seemed not much better than the large courtyard where Su Yue lived. The aisles were narrow and crowded, with debris from various houses piled up on the aisles, and the aisles could only accommodate two people walking side by side.

The small courtyard on the first floor is about 200 square meters, and there are actually six or seven families living in it. It is so crowded that it is difficult to find a place to stay.

The crowd was not only on the ground, but also on the beams. A row of clothes was hung on the wooden poles under the eaves. People who were slightly taller walked underneath, and their heads would touch the hem of the clothes.

Su Yue walked through with a bow.

It was working time at this time, and there were quite a lot of people in the small courtyard. When they saw Yang Xiuling coming back with a beautiful lesbian, they all cast their eyes on him.

A short-cut man in a blue factory uniform came out of the room, his hair was wet, and he was wiping his head with a towel. When he saw Su Yue, his eyes shone brightly.

He opened his mouth and called out to Yang Xiuling: "Sister Xiuling, who is this lesbian? The little wife you are looking for for your son?"

Yang Xiuling gouged him out: "Go! This is my sister!"

The man laughed wildly, wiped his head and face again after wiping his head.

Su Yue looked up at him, and saw the six big characters embroidered on his chest - Lucheng Machinery No. 2 Factory.

He is a worker.

Sister Yang walked into the eaves with Su Yue on her arm: "I'm too lazy to talk to you, let's go, big sister, let's go in, ignore him."

"Yeah." Su Yue smiled and followed Yang Xiuling to continue walking inside.

Another woman holding a child shouted from behind: "Xiu Ling, when did you have such a beautiful girl?"

Yang Xiuling didn't turn her head back, she waved her hands behind her: "We'll talk when we have time!" The two entered the stairs, and only then did they block the fiery eyes behind them.

"The whole building used to belong to the old lady's house. Later, her husband and son died, and her daughter-in-law also ran away. A few years ago, there was a revolution/revolution, and the superiors wanted to beat her as a traitor, but she was a martyr. Family members, otherwise they would have been arrested and criticized with so many houses in their hands. Fight!"

"Then these houses still belong to her now?"

"No, this house is now owned by the public. The small house on the second floor is her private property. The government confiscated it, so it can be regarded as a resettlement place for the elderly. But even if it is collected, the old lady can't afford the rent."

After speaking, he took Su Yue upstairs.

Su Yue touched the escalator, it was very clean.

"Does the old lady live here alone?"

"She also has a grandson who went to the countryside to become an educated youth a few years ago, and now she lives alone in that house."

Typical lonely old man.

"Then does she have a job?"

"It's more than 70, there is no job for her."

"Then how does she usually live?"

"She receives a subsidy, 8 yuan a month, and the food stamps are enough for her to eat." After speaking, Sister Yang sighed bitterly: "Isn't everyone living like this these days? Who can be pitiful?"

The common people are living in poverty, and the old lady is not the most pitiful. If she doesn't have a job, she will be given a subsidy.

The two continued to walk upstairs.

There is only one room on the second floor. When you walk up, you can see a solid wooden door. The door is covered with scratches and cracks, and it looks old.

The corridors here are very clean, and it can be seen that the owner of the house is a clean person.

Yang Xiuling went up and knocked on the door, knocking very loudly, like knocking on the door.

Su Yue frowned, and then heard a little old lady's voice from inside.

"Who is it!"

Yang Xiuling was full of anger, and shouted at the top of her voice, "It's me! The old lady opened the door, I need you!"

It took a while for the door to open from the inside. The little old lady poked her head out tremblingly, her cloudy eyes rolled up and down, and looked at Yang Xiuling and Su Yue outside the door.

Sister Yang still had a bright smile on her face: "I sent this lesbian here for you! As I said just now, the lesbian who gave you eight yuan for rent!"

Sister Yang got up and pushed Su Yue to the old lady. Su Yue bowed down to say hello to her.

"Hi, mother-in-law."

"Okay, okay." The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes. Her back was bent low, she bent down and held on to the door frame, and looked at Su Yue seriously.

This is an old lady about 1.4 meters in her seventies.

The old lady was small and thin, with a small face that was so thin that she was out of shape. She was wearing a patched army green jersey blouse, and a few small holes were worn on the front of her cloth shoes. financial constraints.

Although her stature was stooped, her chrysanthemum-like smile made her brows and eyes tinged with gentleness and kindness, which made Su Yue have a good impression of this little old lady at first sight.

"Old lady, she is the lesbian who will live with you in the future, and she will cover all your rations in the future!" This is what Su Yong promised, otherwise the old lady might really not want her to come home live.

"Okay, okay..." Looking at Su Yue, a beautiful lesbian, the old lady was in a much better mood.

"Go in quickly." Seeing that the old lady agreed to come, Yang Xiuling urged her with a smile.

Su Yue was looking at the old lady's house. As Sister Yang said, the space is very large, about 60 square meters, two small bedrooms, separate kitchen and bathroom, and a separate small balcony outside the living room.

The room is very clean, without too much accumulation of sundries, and the empty situation is in sharp contrast to the environment of the residents downstairs. It has to be envied: people are more annoying than others.

This condition, not to mention how enviable it was in 1974.

"Thank you, Sister Yang!" Su Yue excitedly held her hand, "We will be neighbors from now on."

Sister Yang covered her mouth and smiled, her voice light and light: "That's good! We've never had a beautiful lesbian like you in our yard, and I'm afraid it will be lively in the future!"

Su Yue smiled shyly: "But I have to say that I am a relative of my mother-in-law, so don't tell me."

Yang Xiuling patted her chest and assured : "Don't worry, anything that comes to me is like going into a coffin!"

Su Yue smiled gratefully, took out a handful of fruit candies from the cloth bag on her shoulder, and handed it to her.

Yang Xiuling was terrified.

"You can't make it!" A lot of sugar, it cost a lot!

"Sister Yang has really helped me a lot. Just accept these candies and satisfy the cravings of the two daughters at home. Isn't there a sick child? Eat some candies to heal quickly. Take it and don't tell me politely."

Mentioning her sick daughter, Yang Xiuling's heart began to shake. Seeing Su Yue's clear and sincere eyes, she took the can embarrassingly.

"How embarrassing."

But in his heart, he deeply remembered Su Yue's kindness because of this large amount of fruit candy.

After returning to the guest house to pack up her luggage, Su Yue immediately set off to move.

I bought a sack from a flea market, and put some daily necessities in the space in the sack. The appearance was similar to that of the 1970s. She couldn't find similar substitutes, so she chose to go to the department store to buy some back.

Mouthwash cups, knives, water cups, kettles, bed sheets...

There are things, but the old lady's house doesn't have any extra furniture except for the few pieces of furniture that Su Yue saw just now!

Toothbrush cups like these have to be placed on a certain cabinet in the toilet, or even a small bench is enough to put them there, but there are none of these.

You can't put everything on the ground, can you? How dirty!

A home without furniture is not considered a home, Su Yong is a little worried, she has to go to a department store to buy furniture, but without furniture, how can she buy air?

She is not short of money now, but she is short of tickets. Because high prices and low tickets are used to exchanging food, she really doesn't have enough tickets now.

There is no place to put daily necessities, so Su Yue can only temporarily put them aside.

However, it's okay if you don't look at it, and you can see that there are many problems in the house.

One of the beds in Su Yue's bedroom is short, and the window is also broken.

"Grandma, a lot of your furniture is broken, why don't you ask someone to fix it?"

The old lady stood by the door and said with a smile: "It's not broken, it's not broken, it's very good."

Su Yue was helpless and funny, and then walked around the room. After checking, she found that the window in the old lady's room was also broken.

I don't know if the security here is good or not. If a thief comes in at night, it's okay to get rich, but if you get rich and kill yourself, it's not worth the loss.

Su Yong planned to ask the neighbors if they could repair furniture, but this place was unfamiliar, so she thought about asking Sister Yang when she came back.

I don't know if it was "telepathy", Su Yue was still thinking about Yang Xiuling, and someone knocked on the door the next second.

"Big sister! Are you there, big sister?"

Su Yue secretly thought that it was a coincidence that when she opened the door, she saw Yang Xiuling standing at the door.

"Sister Yang? Why are you here again?" Su Yue asked her amusedly.

Yang Xiuling turned her gaze from Su Yue to the inside of the house.

She poked her head around and looked in, and saw that the living room was full of daily necessities brought by Su Yue, colorful piles, which looked strange and fresh, as if she had never seen many things before.

"I was cooking downstairs just now. My daughter said that she saw a beautiful sister carrying a sack upstairs. I thought it might be you, so I came up to see if there is anything I can help with."

Su Yue smiled: "Sister Yang, it's really time for you to come. I just wanted to ask you if you know a master who can repair windows and radios."

Sister Yang's attention was all attracted by the radio: "My God, you still have the radio!"

Su Yue hurriedly put her index finger on her lips: "Shh - keep your voice down, don't be overheard."

Sister Yang hurriedly covered her mouth, "Yes! Don't let other people know, those people will always come to you! It's very annoying!"

The two looked at each other and smiled. The old lady who was making dinner in the kitchen heard the movement at the door and came out to take a look. When she saw Yang Xiuling, her old eyelids twisted instantly: "Who are you?"

Sister Yang laughed until her stomach ached. She walked up to the old lady, bent over and said with a smile, "You forgot me again. I'm Xiao Yang. Don't we see each other every day?"

"Xiao Yang? Xiao Yang?" The old lady was still confused, squinting her eyes and looking her up and down slowly.

"Yes! Then do you know who she is?" Yang Xiuling pointed to Su Yue and asked the old lady.

"I know, she is Xiaoyue, a white-faced momo." She is also her new neighbor, and they will live together in the future.

"Oh, Coke is killing me!" Yang Xiuling couldn't breathe with a smile, "You bribed the old lady with white flour buns. The neighbors you meet every day can't remember, but you only remember it after half a day! You really have Money, actually give the old lady white flour buns to eat!"

The two had known each other in exchange for food. At that time, all Su Yue took out of his bag were fine white rice, so it was not unusual for Su Yong to have white flour.

Although he was curious about her identity, he was too embarrassed to ask, and it would not be too late to ask after getting acquainted with her.

Yang Xiuling laughed exaggeratedly, and the old lady also laughed with her, with her hunched body showing a mouthful of tiny white teeth.

Seeing the tender scene, Su Yue's heart suddenly felt hot, and the corners of her lips unconsciously outlined a melodious arc.

"It's alright, alright, I won't chat with you anymore." Sister Yang calmed down after smiling for a while: "Big sister, I'll go back and cook first, and I'll let my younger daughter go and call the repairman for you later. "

"Okay, thank you, Miss Yang."

"polite!"

Yang Xiuling is not only straightforward, but also quick to do things.

I just asked her to help find a repairman, and at five o'clock, when the factory workers were off work, the man came.

Su Yong thought it was Sister Yang when she heard the knock on the door, but when the door opened, a thin and handsome man stood in front of the door, a head taller than her.

She was dumbfounded and didn't realize it, because the man in front of her was very different from the local man Su Yue saw on the street.

The skin is fair, the figure is thin and tall, and he wears a slightly small, white and slightly washed white shirt with black trousers.

An old military green cloth bag was slung over his shoulder, bulging, with a wrench protruding from the opening of the cloth bag, it was silver, stained with some black ink.

Like a beautiful scene in a movie after a transition, the man's side face is sprinkled with sunlight projected from the balcony.

He stood quietly at the door, with fair skin, clean black hair, and deep and dark amber pupils, like obsidian without impurities, a little alienated in the coldness.

He is not good-looking, even the well-informed Su Yong can't help but stare blankly.

Seeing Su Yue, the man was obviously stunned for a few seconds, but soon returned to normal.

He said, "Sister Yang asked me to come and fix the furniture."
