Humble room and small interest

When I was young, my parents and I lived in different houses:

When I was young, I lived in an old-fashioned landlord compound, which was a symbol of the people turning over and being masters of their own affairs. This kind of compound is very comfortable when you enter the third or fourth floor. It has a front yard, a middle court, a backyard and a back garden.

Two majestic stone lions guard the stone steps and ridges in front of the door. To enter the gate, you have to knock on the knocker in the tiger's mouth and open the door with a solemn and heavy voice.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a huge wall in front of me. I wrote a picture of weeds, which was very aggressive. But it's a pity that I was young and I didn't remember the content.

A large and exquisite patio in the front yard looks like a well at first sight, and the inexhaustible well water is all mine fields, clear and bright, which I still remember deeply. So, when I grow up, I can easily understand everything about wells, even the terminology. Pots of plants in the yard are attractive in all seasons. The houses on both sides of the patio have been made into kitchens, dining rooms and storage rooms. It is also a reasonable layout.

There are people living upstairs in the Intermediate People's Court, and there is a big reception hall downstairs. The furniture of the whole family is Chinese-style, dignified and elegant, and the furnishings are orderly. The ancient wisteria, which is full of purple flowers all year round, climbed the stairs from the spacious and bright terrace, adding ten thousand kinds of wind chimes.

There is a study upstairs in the backyard with rows of giant bookshelves, which contain endless historical future and strength. My enlightenment education also started from such a "three pools and one moon" alone. Ivy squeezed in from the carved pane of the study is full of vitality. Looking out of the window, it is a touch of ink-colored distant mountains. Downstairs is mom and dad's workshop. In those busy years, the lights were on until the sun was red.

The back garden, in my eyes at that time, was endless. This is my "vanilla garden", my paradise!

In a winding place, a row of bananas is the best place to listen to the wind and rain at night. Of course, banana trees sometimes bear fruit. In the huge and long leaves, you can see several strings of richness gradually filling up.

Three towering longan trees, their branches bend every year, and they all look tired for them. Every harvest season, we will happily give the fruits we have worked so hard to pick to our neighbors' children-otherwise, we will be "beaten by local tyrants"!

Just entering the garden, under the rockery on the left, there is a clear pool surrounded by blue grass. Linchi, fish can play in the water during the day and hear frogs at night.

A few cannas by the wall, flowers don't fall all year round. The burning red, burning on the ancient wall. Whenever a gust of wind blows, the red discharged from the wall shakes in the wind. From the bottom, against the thick blue sky, it gives people a feeling of dizziness and heavy makeup.

Under the canna on the right, there are large tracts of jasmine flowers. In the flowering season, flowers are white and fragrant.

In the garden after the moonlit night, the moon comes first. When the jade plate first appeared, the sky was bright and bright with infinite brightness. In the middle of the month, light and shadow fell from the tree, which was gorgeous and charming.

A flock of chickens, large and small, are kept in the garden all the year round. Chickens followed the hen and twittered carefree. Chicken doll is my best playmate in childhood. Early in the morning, a rooster crowed and sang Dongfanghong!

This ancient courtyard, called "Garden", is really worthy of the name. Gray brick courtyard, several courtyards before and after, all kinds of scenery mixed together, creating a mysterious and fantastic realm, giving birth to antique luxury.

Although living in such an old house is a stranger, as the old saying goes: elegant people, beautiful people! The unique scenery and human feelings in the deep house compound are really beautiful.

But the good times didn't last long, and no one expected that the tragedy would be staged more than ten years later.

What is tragedy? A celebrity summed it up very well: "Tragedy is to destroy the valuable things in life for you!" " "

Looking at the world with a big gyro, "the great fate of leather culture" is overwhelming. All the "funded repairs" similar to old houses have not been spared, and almost all of them have been "swept away"!

? (Part II)

A person is crazy, but the medicine is hard to save. Besides, the sea of people is crazy and even more lawless!

My old house was plastered with posters overnight! God knows how many people will be used in such a huge building and how many barrels of paste will be cooked! How many cars, how many pens, how many papers have to be spent! On the "posters", all kinds of handwriting are written with inexplicable anger such as "down" and "smashed"!

Fortunately, the "son of a bitch" in the compound was quietly transferred to the old nanny's house in the countryside by good people.

Pity this old gardener who has been gardening for more than half a century, but he can't "draw a clear line" and is determined to die with flowers, plants, insects and fish! His bad luck is that he parades the streets day and night to show off the public, accompanying the last owner of the mansion-the "establishment" who is said to have taken the "capitalist road"! In the end, both of them were taken to "reform": feeding pigs, sweeping streets and washing toilets!

The plaque engraved with two solemn official script characters "Garden" was turned over by fearless "teenagers" and became the chopping block in the "dining hall" and the most ready-made kitchen utensils under my knife.

After the "revolution", a group of noisy people spared no effort to "sweep" the "seals, funds, repairs" and "black goods" in the mansion: many precious thread-bound books were lost on the broken bookshelves, carved beams and painted buildings were lying in the rubble, and the front and rear gardens were cut down with knives. Beauty is tragically disillusioned in an instant!

Finally, after being tortured by violence, the crooked door was marked with a huge seal!

They all say: easy to destroy, difficult to build! It turns out that destruction is really so easy, sweeping everything, devastating and invincible!

The old nanny, who has lived in this house for many years, is also crazy. I can't stand that little me "go home! Go home! " I shouted again and again, and when the storm subsided, I secretly took me back to watch it again.

I remember grandma holding me and struggling to get into a corner of the broken wall that no one had ever noticed. Who knows, as soon as I entered the compound, I cried with a "wow"! Grandma held me tightly in her arms and said softly, "Don't cry! Baby! Stop crying! It is troublesome for people to hear it! " I quickly stopped crying rationally, but I still sobbed with my grandmother! Home, gone! Mom and dad, long time no see! Grandma has become my only support in this world! This is undoubtedly a disaster for a child over four years old!

Once I hid my father's pistol and the only three bullets left and took them to my grandmother's house. After coming back from the old house, I often take out my pistol when no one is around and wipe it over and over again like my father. Let it shine in the blue! Then wrap the gun and bullets with that big HongLing!

If it weren't for my father's repeated mobilization and persuasion, I would never have handed over that pistol when I was already in primary school. However, three bullets, I still stay with me!

Things that have been copied many times during the property raid will be returned in one lump sum after several years. My father and I took a look at those meaningless items and lit a torch. They were on fire!

Later, I heard that the old house was strangely reduced to ashes in a fire after years of destruction. Presumably the landscape that once existed has completely disappeared from the earth!

After graduating from college, my father took me on a trip to recall my growth traces, and once visited my old house. No one cares about the compound that has no funds to repair, only those thick gray brick walls that have been knocked down by sledgehammers; There are also stone pillars standing alone and two headless stone lions. However, after years of heavy rain, there was no sign of burning.

Looking at it, I can't help thinking of Yuanmingyuan ...!

Surprisingly, the wisteria, which was blown back by the spring breeze and revived, still climbed along the edge, clumping after clump, proudly holding out her chest and living; The bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter sweet!

At that moment, looking around, tears welled up. Dad's generous hand, holding my clenched fist tightly in his palm, pulled me away step by step without saying a word! At this time, the compound once full of joy and happiness is in ruins!

Now there are fewer and fewer old houses, and most of the rest are returned to the original owners or their descendants after the implementation of the policy. But after an unprecedented disaster, the simplicity, elegance and deep mystery of the old house are gone forever! Just added some heavy thoughts and sighs!

No wonder it is so difficult for people nowadays to restore what "old city walls", "old landscapes" and "old neighborhoods" are after waking up from their dreams! It can only be a dog's tail, tiger dog!

? (Part III)

With the passage of time, we have entered an era of high-rise buildings mushrooming! My parents and I moved to a more magnificent residential building, which is called "public housing" in Taiwan Province province and "economic building" in Hong Kong.

"Public housing"-that is, housing allocated by the public; "economic room"-saving money economically; All kinds of subsidies, you can live in a good welfare room without paying too much!

The first time I moved into an apartment building, it was still the corridor: there was a public toilet at the end of the corridor, and I had to queue up in the unit collective bathroom after taking a shower. Because it is a military management unit, wake-up calls, morning exercises and interval exercises are heard everywhere in the office building. Holidays often make me want to sleep late, not very annoying!

Later, the office area and the residential area were separated. The design of the accommodation building is also improving day by day. Living conditions are becoming more and more reasonable. And plant flowers and trees in the vestibule backyard; The artificial lawn is also lush, and one piece is more pleasing to the eye!

Say it's mom and dad, the "old" one, with old qualifications! Therefore, every time you move home, the area will become much larger, and the layout and decoration will be more aesthetic and enjoyable for modern people.

However, after moving between steel and cement, each family gets a "matchbox", and people's emotions are as cold and lifeless as steel and cement! There is a posture of "the voice of chickens and dogs hears each other, and the old and the dead don't talk to each other"! Neighborhood, meet in the corridor, the most is to relax your tight muscles a little, smile and nod, and pass by!

A famous lawyer gave a lecture, specifically reminding: When you meet lawless people at home and need to call for help, don't shout "Stop thief" or something, but shout "Put out the fire!" And list a few cases to prove it! It can be seen that "people's hearts are not ancient, and the world is getting worse" is not out of nothing!

I once heard a joke: a modern thief set up a sign in the corridor: "Construction here, please bypass!" " Then he cut open a family's security door with oxygen welding, brazenly entered the room, and robbed a rich family with a truck printed with the words' moving company'! He also brazenly scribbled a few big characters on the wall of the stolen house: "Comrade Xiaoping said: Be bold and hurry up!" "Look at that! It happened in such broad daylight!

Don't say that others have been stolen. Even after living in the same unit for many years, I don't know my surname is Zhang, Wang and Li. The indifference of the neighborhood has long been normal!

Needless to say, safe access often becomes a story. It is also an imaginary world of Datong if you don't close the door and pick up the road at night. Nostalgic single-family courtyards are a thing of the past. Between the neighbors, you take care of me and I help you. Your warmth and lack of parents can never be found again. Apartment suites are getting bigger and bigger, but people are getting more and more closed.

What I can't forget is the charm of the old quadrangle! So, after work, I went to Beijing to visit the most authentic compound in China during a long vacation.

People often say, "Look at the head of Beijing!" There are countless city heads and famous quadrangles on both sides of Shilichang Street. The walls of the ancient capital and the red walls and blue tiles of the palace always make many tourists in old Beijing, new Beijing and China and foreign countries unforgettable! Even if you have traveled around the world and visited many famous cities, you must take it back!

Outside the city, in the street, I wandered around and watched, but it was not enough. Immediately in an alley near Dashilan, I found the "film police" of the police station. Please help me find a clean family nearby, pay a week's rent and start the experience of "going deep into life"!

From the moment I set foot in the real Beijing quadrangle, I was attracted and moved by the hospitable old Beijing! Everything fascinated me so much! Now, the tall front door really seems to be next to my "home"

It is said that the compound is clean and bright, with traditional structure but well repaired; The flat large bluestone floor, smooth inside, shows the age. At that time, in the yard, Sophora japonica flowers were in full bloom, and exotic flowers and herbs were fragrant; There is a cicada and some crickets chirping. When the weather is hot, you are in the big sun, pouring a pot of cold water in the yard from beginning to end, revealing a northerner's generosity! When cooking, I rolled up my sleeves and cooked in person, which also made the southern food culture proud! In the evening, at the kind invitation of the landlord, I brought a cup of tea, shook a cattail leaf fan, leaned back on the bamboo couch, looked at the front door not far away, listened to the faint drums of Jingyun, and listened to the neighbors talking about: the blood of the royal family inside and outside the Golden Temple, the changes in Beijing, and the legends in the hutongs. ......

Go to work. I'm back in the building with brick-concrete frame structure. It's so depressing here, not to mention awkward!

Last time I moved with my family, I entered four rooms, two halls, two bathrooms and one kitchen, plus a big balcony and storage room. Don't worry about anything, just change to high-grade furniture with high-grade house decoration colors and lighting. I spent my mind and money on some huge curtains. Looking out through the window, cherry blossoms are in full bloom outside the back balcony; In the front yard, there is green grass. Everyone used their brains to decorate the home very warmly; In the living room, there is more than enough space, which can be used as a dance floor for family reunion! What an honor!

But after cheering, you must "go home often"! After all, if there is no family inheritance, four generations live under one roof, and blood is thicker than water! Mom and dad are getting old day by day. As children, they have to bear more than the care and consideration on the phone.

? (Part IV)

People often say that time is as fast as a razor! I finally grew up! Anyway, I have reached the age of "leaving the boudoir" and "entering the bridal chamber".

The society nicknamed "marriage certificate" as "land certificate"! Generally, a "land certificate" entitles you to own "land", "land" and a house!

A new house has been built on this unit. Finally, on the day when a young couple or a family of three can become "landlords", everyone is really "busy collecting a piece of gold, dividing fields and land"!

Pay the money to get a brand-new set of keys, click and open your new house. I saw three rooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen. Sparrows are small and complete! I can't help it, a burst of cheers!

And no matter its steel windows are ventilated everywhere, air conditioning can't be installed; No matter its four sides are facing the building, the air inlet and lighting are not up to standard; Regardless of its future security, it only belongs to its own home, and with its own belonging, it becomes lovely! No matter how high it is, fly to the top floor-

Ha ha! Carefully design, lay carpets, buy furniture and decorate a comfortable little home. Choose an auspicious day and run into the "besieged city" with joy!

Many years later, I happily added "your son" and a little aunt to know the "smallness" of a small family! Son, think twice every time you buy a big toy! However, if you have a child who is near middle age, can you not cherish it? As a result, we made up our minds to move the coffee table, writing desk and a few pieces of furniture for the baby's growth, so that our "little sun" can also have a free ride!

Who knows how long it will last. The buildings in Jony J are built on the fault zone of the earth's crust. In a few years, the foundation gradually collapsed and cracks appeared in the whole building. On the top floor where we live, a "flood control headquarters" will be set up as soon as it rains!

If it rains lightly, the roof will be filled with air. When it rains cats and dogs, the roof blooms everywhere. Suddenly, the water kept dripping, and the panic in the room was saved by someone with a washbasin. If it rains heavily, you have to knock nails and pull wires around the roof, hang a few "infusion bottles" in the air, catch the rainwater that seeps in, and continuously transport the gurgling trickle from the infusion pipe to the big "Coke" bottle below. Pour out a few bottles of rain saved in a day! This invention can be selected into Guinness World Records!

"Small holes don't make up, big holes suffer!" Days of cloudy and heavy rain finally led to two "burst banks" on the roof of the opposite neighbor's house-big water, like a faucet with a valve removed, poured straight into the house! Where can such a big water be stopped? When we woke up from sleep, all the carpets at home were soaked in "soup"; All slippers have become boats in the waves!

Children naturally love to play with water! Now, my son is very happy! Put on his little rain boots and follow his parents happily, just like the commander of "flood control"; Coupled with his son's "time-tested", he and his sister across the street United as one, formed a United front, and took part in flood fighting and rescue in no hurry. He has completely ignored his sweet dream, and he will be late for kindergarten the next day!

The next year, a strange scenery appeared in the building group: it seems that cockroaches all over the world want to go to the countryside on all floors of our compound. In the building, from bottom to top, more and more cockroach families, old and middle-aged, have multiplied like relay races!

How do children know how to write the word "fear"? The son had new fun and stamped his foot and shouted, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Mom, look, look: the story of cockroaches! General mobilization! " How can the picture rendering in DVD player be so real and spectacular?

Fortunately, the unit timely distributed the spirit of justice, the whole people dispatched, and the whole hospital fought a annihilation war, which stopped the cockroach disaster for several years.

According to newspapers and magazines, cockroaches carry hepatitis B virus! I can't bear to let my beloved son take part in this cockroach fight. So, I quickly moved my son to a "safe zone" until the whole family "cleared the field", swept all the toys inside and outside the yard, including my son, and all the toys were cleaned and disinfected before I brought the little guy back!

Going out to study, for two long years, my son was taken care of by his parents, and the small family was empty. When I came back, I saw that there was no childish voice and laughter at home, and more was the whispering of mice. I have tried my best, exhausted all methods, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and failed to "catch the case"! Seeing this, the mouse has grown into a master mouse, still outside in the middle of the night, anxious in my heart!

My son and I both love our friends. In the evening, whenever friends stay at home to play, everyone takes part in the rat prevention operation with indignation. Many people used to kill mice, but there is really no such record in the history books! Has the new moon been destroyed until now? Still a mystery! Books accumulated by poor families over the years really can't sleep well!

On the other hand, there is no gate in the compound, only a "middle" door is opened. Let's not talk about whether ambulances and fire engines can come in in an emergency. However, because the yard is closed, which is conducive to the safety of children, it is generally difficult to have any traffic accidents. As long as it is good for children, it is the first choice at home. So, if my son likes it, I like it! My son vowed to live in this humble room for life, so let's live in it for life!

? (Off-page)

When I moved to a new home again, I just caught up with the publication of this little article, and I sighed more in my heart. On the one hand, my son is skipping upstairs and downstairs in my new house, and on the other hand, my friend's love and congratulations, and then recalling the former buildings and courtyards, how can I feel deeply!

Home, once again, has become bigger, better and more satisfied, but in the depths of my memory, looking back at the houses where I lived, moved and lived, my heart is really bittersweet, and it is difficult to describe them one by one!

In fact, as a celebrity said, "A humble room is to my liking, not a luxury, but an opportunity! Just ask: a table and a bed ",plus a modern computer. And what I like best is that the prosperity of the world and the change of home are all in personal experience and personal enjoyment!

At this point, "nothing to do, write it down as a pastime. Write whatever comes to mind, don't talk and laugh. "

Sometimes, it says, cry! Sometimes, when you write it, you laugh!

"But no matter how you write it, it's just a short journey memory. Take this as fate, for the benefit! "
