Rebirth Era's Petite Wife

Chapter 24 024 Shikumen (Xuanyuan Yuchen and Shibi+)

Early the next morning, Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jiao had their last breakfast in this villa. Shen Jiaxing found a cart, put simple furniture and luggage on it, and prepared to move.

The person who came to notify yesterday came early in the morning, and the leader was another young man. With a stern face and hands behind his back, he carefully inspected the three-story bungalow, and asked displeasedly, "Why are there so few things?" ? Are you hiding?"

Shen Jiaxing was well prepared, and said calmly: "The students from Kyoto were ruined a few days ago, and there are only a few good ones left."

The young man was blocked by him for a while, but he didn't say anything, and waved his hand to let him go.

Shen Jiaxing was secretly complacent, knowing that as long as he played the signboard of students from Kyoto, these guys would never dare to ask more questions.

Shen Jiaxing carried Shen Jiao onto the cart, opened his arms, and pushed the cart away. On the road, he met the Xu family again. Several teenagers and Mrs. Xu were carrying big bags and small bags, and moved with difficulty.

It seemed that the Xu family was also doomed. Shen Jiaxing greeted Mrs. Xu: "Sister-in-law of the Xu family, where are you going to move?"

Mrs. Xu looked over with tears in her eyes, and when she saw Shen Jiaxing, she couldn't help crying and said: "My house is gone. It was saved by me and my old man after eating pickles for decades. How can I live with the old man in the future?" Tell me!"

This poor old lady's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her gray hair turned white overnight, making her very old.

Shen Jiaxing sighed, and persuaded: "If the house is gone, it will be gone. As long as there are people around, both Guifu and his wife have gone to the coal mine. You are the backbone of the family. Sister-in-law Xu, you can't fall down. The children are all happy." It depends on you!"

The old lady Xu wiped away her tears, and her expression became firm: "Brother Jiaxing, you are right, I have to take good care of the children."

After calming down, Mrs. Xu regained her shrewdness as a tailor's wife. When she noticed the cart Shen Jiaxing was pulling, a sudden expression appeared on her face: "Brother Jiaxing, your house is also..."

Shen Jiaxing smiled heartily: "That's right, where is your new home? Let's see if we still have the fate to be neighbors?"

Xu Guifu's eldest son, Xu Guanghui, is a 15-year-old boy. Although he is not tall, he is already half the pillar of the family. Hearing this, he said: "It is No. 63 of Cotton Street, the new-style Shikumen house in my house. Divided into two rooms."

Shen Jiao glanced at the Xu family, the old lady and four children, the oldest was 15 years old, the youngest was only five or six years old, she was a timid little girl who looked more like bean sprouts than her.

The two in the middle are both boys, one is twelve or thirteen years old, and the other is about the same age as Shen Jiao, they both look thin and small.

Shen Jiaxing heard the sound familiar, took out the note in his arms, and laughed: "It seems that we are really destined, this time we have become neighbors again, my family will also move to No. 63 Cotton Street, but Jiaojiao and I have to live in the pavilion , not as good as yours."

Mrs. Xu sighed again, and said a few words of Buddha.

Shen Jiaxing carried the little girl of the Xu family into the car. Shen Jiao was afraid that her grandfather would be too tired, so she got out of the car and walked with the three brothers of the Xu family. Although she had been neighbors with the Xu family since she was a child, she only knew Xu Guanghui, the boss of the Xu family. The second child, Xu Guanghui, and the third child, Xu Wenhui, both just came to Haishi from the countryside in northern Jiangsu, so Shen Jiao is not familiar with them.

Xu Guanghui and Xu Wenhui were already the governor's teenagers. Seeing the white, tender, clean and beautiful girl, they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

Shen Jiao took out an assorted candy from her pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into the mouth of the little girl of the Xu family. The little girl's name was Xu Xiaoya. Xu Guifu and his wife still loved this little girl very much, and they took it with them to raise it , It's just that the Xu family's life is too cold, the little girl looks like she is three or four years old when she is five years old.

The little girl's eyes lit up immediately after eating the candy, and she hurriedly took out the shiny candy and stuffed it into Old Madam Xu's mouth, muttering: "Mother, eat it, it's delicious."

Although the little girl is five years old, due to malnutrition, her articulation is not very clear, and she can only speak some simple sentences.

The old lady Xu touched her granddaughter's sparse yellow hair with a smile, licked it symbolically, and stuffed it back into the little girl's mouth. The little girl wanted to take it out and feed it to the three older brothers. I can't go down.

Although the little girl's sensibility moved her, but she couldn't stand the sticky sugar juice on her little hands, so she had to take out two more candies and distributed them to the second and third children of Xu's family, so that Xu Xiaoya would not come from Candy came out of my mouth.

Cotton Street is not too far from the villa alley, only two streets away, but there is a huge difference.

The houses on Cotton Street are all new-style Shikumen, the alleys are very narrow, and there are many children playing, and colorful clothes are drying under the windows of each floor, fluttering in the wind like colorful flags.

Some older ladies gathered together to paste paper boxes. When they saw Shen Jiaxing and the others, they were stunned for a while, then lowered their heads and continued to paste paper boxes with indifferent expressions.

No. 63 is a two-story new-style Shikumen building. It seems that several families have lived there, and the clothes fluttering under the windows are a good proof.

Shen Jiaxing first moved their things in for the Xu family. There are two rooms on the second floor. In fact, the two rooms can only be counted as one. The wall should be separated later, and the total is only about [-] square meters. , it's okay for one old and four small children to live in now, but it will be a little crowded when the Xu family and his wife come back.

Their pavilion is not far from Xu’s house. It’s just around the corner and down the stairs. It’s a small house built in the space between the balcony and the stove. Otherwise, there is not even a place to stand.

Shen Jiaxing sighed, took the washbasin and went downstairs to collect water for cleaning, while Shen Jiao stayed on it to organize things. Although she was also taken aback by the small house, she was still in a good mood.

No matter what, she and grandpa are still alive and well, which is already very good!

Xu Guanghui came to borrow a scooter from Shen Jiaxing, saying that he wanted to go back and bring some furniture, Shen Jiaxing naturally had no objection, and advised him to try to bring useful ones.

"It's such a small place, there's no place to put it here!"

Xu Guanghui's face was also a little sad. The family changes made this 15-year-old boy grow up rapidly, and there was a man's determination in his eyes.

Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jiao only lived in this pavilion for two nights. On the third day early in the morning, Shen Jiaxing took Shen Jiao to the train station. He lent that pavilion to Xu's family. There are many Xu family members, and there are many rooms. Can be more generous.

There were a few people wearing red armbands standing on the train platform, Shi Daniu was also on the list, seeing Shen Jiaxing ignoring him, it was as if he didn't know him.

There were already about a dozen people standing on the platform. There were old people the same age as Shen Jiaxing, middle-aged people in their forties, and young people in their twenties. Judging by their attire and temperament, they were all respectable before. people!
"Children can't follow!" Someone shouted.

　There are two more updates, I will update them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, let's keep going!

　　Note: Shikumen is the residential building with the most Shanghai characteristics. This kind of building has absorbed a lot of the styles of the Han people’s houses in the Jiangnan area. There are two kinds of old-style Shikumen and new-style Shikumen.
