Chapter 19 Cohabitation Life

What Huo Xiuxiu said makes sense. Without Mrs. Huo's protective umbrella, our lives would be very difficult for the next period of time.

I haven't had time to think carefully about how to deal with the mess we made. Among the three of us, I am the only one with a respectable political background. I will definitely be the one to help in the end if we want to calm things down. In my world view, I believe in a legal society. If we really don’t have money, there are always ways to compromise. But when I think about it carefully, I feel very guilty because I have never experienced such a thing. Maybe it is more serious than beyond my imagination.

I sometimes feel that the three of us are like those ignorant and bad gambling kids in gambling movies. We relied on our skills to get into trouble in the adult world. In the end, our parents cut off their own fingers to apologize for ordering a package. Only then did he realize that the trouble he had caused was beyond his worldview. At that time, he said: How could this happen? I didn't want it. Such sentiments are unhelpful. There was a faint worry in my heart, that is, this disaster was simply beyond my imagination.

So now that Huo Xiuxiu mentioned it, I was immediately tempted.

On the other hand, I think Mrs. Huo's attitude is very subtle. Things have now become very confusing and unmanageable. Originally, I just wanted to ask what happened to Shi Lei, but I asked about some of the old woman's past. And the things that follow seem to be inextricably linked, and there is a feeling of rejection but welcome. I feel that there may be some things that the old lady can't figure out for a while, but once she does, there will be a follow-up.

Protecting us is a detour for her and a delaying strategy for us. There are advantages to both. She can think clearly, and we also have time to react and figure out how much trouble we have caused.

The fat man and I had almost the same idea. He was the most realistic. He couldn't go back to the shop anyway, so he agreed first. At least he had a place to discuss what to do next, so he agreed.

I thought they would find us a house in the compound, but Huo Xiuxiu called the driver and bought a humble Passat. We lowered our heads and drove out of the compound, not daring to raise our heads on the street. I remembered Huo Xiuxiu's somewhat suggestive words, so I asked her if she had any news about Menyou Bottle. But she didn't answer, saying that this was big information and I had to exchange it with her. She told me not to worry. She wanted to catch up with me in the evening.

We drove from Gongzhufen to Dongsi, wandering around until we arrived at an inconspicuous place in an alley, when we saw a very grand old house in front of us.

"Damn it, which prince from the Qing Dynasty lived in this place?" As soon as we got off the car, the fat man looked at the white marble wall outside the old house and exclaimed, "There are pillars outside this wall. This wall is not an outer wall. This is Which mansion is it part of?”

"I don't know about this either. I was still in Changsha when my grandma bought this place." Huo Xiuxiu led me into the house. I found that it was completely deserted. The yard was very large and the main structure was a typical courtyard house, but it was It is much larger than a courtyard house and has many rooms. The garden was so full of weeds that I really couldn’t believe I was in Beijing.

"It used to be a building for a government agency," Huo Xiuxiu pointed to a room on the second floor. "It's cleaner where you live."

Fortunately, the floor of the door has been renovated, and the renovation time is a bit long, but the sturdiness is not a problem. The walls are full of ivy, which has been unoccupied for a long time, and has crawled all over the doors and windows. The fat man used the dagger he carried to cut us open. When we first entered, it was very dusty and there was no furniture.

"Sister, this place seems to be used for courage training, not for housing people," the fat man said.

"My grandma said that it would be nice if the people who offended the Crescent Hotel could have a place to sleep, rather than sleeping on the street." Huo Xiuxiu took out a bag of things from her bag, "Here are toothpaste, toothpaste and toothpaste." Cups and towels, I found them from my grandma's labor insurance at home. You can use them first, and I'll ask someone to bring the bedding to you later. I am a wealthy lady, and I don't want to touch the spring water with my fingers. Can you please clean it up yourself? "

The fat man made a gesture of eating: "What should I do for dinner? I'm embarrassed to call it KFC here.

The delivery people must be scared to death. "

"When the bedding is delivered, they will bring hot water, hot water bottles and instant noodles. The toilet is on the first floor. It is a dry toilet. There is running water in the yard. There may be rusty water at the beginning. It will disappear after a while. You can't do it here. Go out and stay here for a few days, and my grandma will help you think of a solution." As she said this, she looked at the jade seal, and the fat man immediately shrank: "Girl, this thing is the last line for your three brothers, it is equivalent to our underwear. You have to peel it off and wait for your grandma to come up with the results, but now we have to wear it."

Huo Xiuxiu snorted: "Disgusting, who wants your underwear?" She looked around and sighed in a manly manner: "Then I will go and prepare bedding for you. See you in the evening, I will bring you some wine. ."

"Oh, good sister." The fat man was about to burst into tears, "Then you come early, brother, I'll be waiting for you."

Huo Xiuxiu left happily. Fatty and I watched her leave and close the courtyard door. We both breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. The tension I had been holding on just now was purely a conditioned reflex. Only when I was alone did I really relax.

The fat man looked around and said, "Do you think that old woman is playing tricks on us?"

I shook my head: "No, speaking of it, this place is indeed relatively safe. It would be wise for us to stay here tonight. If anything goes wrong, we can discuss it at night and leave tomorrow at most." As I said that, I looked at Menyou Bottle, "You just said you don't trust that old woman, why? I don't think she is lying."

Menyouping stood in front of the window covered with ivy outside, looking at the desolate yard outside. I asked him for a long time before he replied: "Feeling."

The fat man said: "Actually, you, Fatty, I feel the same way. The old woman's first reaction when she saw the little brother should be true, but then she was a little incoherent, as if she was deliberately going around the topic to delay thinking. I always thought that the little brother was My brother lost his memory and was confused, but he didn’t expect to be as smart as me. It’s true that birds of a feather flock together.”

My amnesia doesn't mean I'm an idiot. I was shocked by the situation and didn't feel anything special, but when they mentioned it, I became a little concerned.

"The old woman is a veteran. Finally, when the little brother is about to leave, she still hasn't come up with her countermeasures, so she has to take the risk to protect us first. The little brother's move is called the provoking method. The little brother is quite vicious. "The fat man gave the oil bottle a thumbs up.

The oil bottle didn't respond.

The fat man said to me softly: "This guy has become less and less talkative recently."

I felt the same way. I sighed and said, "Anyway, I believe the old woman will come up with an explanation in the end. Let's not waste this good opportunity and think about it carefully. Maybe tomorrow the old woman will figure it out." Kick us out.”

"That's right, but before that, we have to clean up a little bit, otherwise this place is really uninhabitable. If someone doesn't kill her with pneumoconiosis, the old woman won't be able to compensate us. Why, naive, you are an only child, you should You can’t do anything, can you?”

It’s true that I don’t do much housework, but when it comes to cleaning, I believe anyone with a normal IQ can do it and ask me to help.

So he tore up the towels, used half of them as rags, went to the yard to drain the water, and started wiping the floor. The oil bottle had no right to be dazed, so the fat man grabbed him to clean the windows.

We explored other rooms and found that there were some remaining discarded furniture, so we moved them to the second floor. There were desks, stools, washbasin stands and many other scraps. We also wiped them all clean one by one. After the work was done, the old house felt messy. No more, a very neutral sense of nostalgia came over me.

We were covered in sweat, but when we saw the room like this, we felt a sense of pride, thinking that being a housewife was quite pleasurable.

The fat man on the side was very good at housework. I really couldn’t tell what kind of man he was. He said that he had been in a good relationship before, and he had learned everything to please his father-in-law. In the end, he was kicked out of him, and he has become a prodigal son from then on. Housework has not been left behind.

There are various versions of Fatty's life. I always think he knows a little bit about everything, but his reasons are different every time, and I don't particularly believe it. I told him that if this was the case, he could open a housekeeping company when he retires, and I could introduce him to the business.

He laughed and said yes, he specialized in serving old houses and went to those ancient towns to do housework. Today he would buy a tile and tomorrow he would steal a table leg. His life would definitely be better than now. With that said, he took out the jade seal we snatched and said, "Okay, let's take a look at our trophies while we have time. Maybe we won't be able to touch them tomorrow."

We took it out and placed it in a spot of sunlight that shone through the window and printed on the floor. We were all stunned when we saw liquid seeping out of the jade seal.
