In the past few days, Yang Jun has been using the materials in the space, especially food.
On the one hand, he wants to increase his familiarity with the space. On the other hand, he is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas and wants to try street food.
Donkey meat roasting, steamed buns, vegetable pancakes, cold noodles, rice noodles, beef noodles, etc., try them all. Not to mention, I haven't eaten these things for a long time, and they are quite delicious when I eat them.
On this day, he was bored sitting at home, so he went out for a stroll.
The car wandered aimlessly in Yanjing City, from the urban area to the second ring road, and then from the second ring road to the third ring road. After wandering for a long time, there was no clear destination. But Sun Zhaocai, who was driving, was so anxious that he asked Yang from time to time.
Where are the troops going?
Yang Jun just didn't say anything and let him drive wherever he wanted.
If he encounters any delicious food stalls on the road, Yang Jun will ask someone to buy one.
Just like that, the car drove around Yanjing City for about three hours. Finally, Sun Zhaocai was forced to do nothing, and suddenly the car drove in the direction of Tongluogu.
About ten minutes later, the car stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
Yang Jun, who was sitting in the car, looked at the familiar scene outside and couldn't calm down his thoughts for a long time.
Familiar scenes, familiar places, he could even picture the situation here back then in his mind, the scene of him riding his bike to work every morning, the scene of the hospital-wide meeting in the evening, the scene of his outsmarting Jia and Zhang during the day...
Now this large courtyard belongs to him, but the same scene is no longer the familiar people. There are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people inside to help him watch the courtyard.
"Why."
Yang Jun sighed and got out of the car.
He turned around and glanced at Sun Zhaocai, seeming a little bit strange that he shouldn't have brought him here, which made him feel a little sad.
"Go buy some food and wine and come over."
When Sun Zhaocai heard this, he rolled his eyes.
Just now Yang Jun had sneaked away from him for more than three hours, and he felt unhappy. Now he was ordered to buy food and wine, so of course he didn't accept it.
Sun Zhaocai glared at Ding Erzhu and said, "Didn't you hear? Your godfather asked you to buy wine and food."
Shazhuren was not very clever, but he was not stupid. He rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "My godfather asked you to go."
"you……"
Sun Zhaocai glanced at Yang Jun and saw that he was staring at him with a straight face. When he saw this, he quickly laughed with him.
"Don't get angry, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he twisted his fat butt and left.
After he left, Yang Jun told the guards who came with him to wait at the door.
Then he went to knock on the door.
The door was actually locked from the inside.
Yang Jun didn't take it seriously, because there were only a few old guys in the yard. The yard was so big that he couldn't see it, so it was supposed to be locked.
He knocked on the door.
After a while, an old voice came from inside.
"Who is it?"
When Yang Jun heard it, it was the voice of the great master Yi Zhonghai.
"Master, it's me, Yang Jun."
It was quiet inside for a while, then there was the sound of rapid footsteps, followed by the sound of the door bolt twitching, and the door opened from the inside.
What caught my eye was the elder Yi Zhonghai. After not seeing him for a few months, he turned out to be much older, his hair had turned completely white, but his body was still relatively strong and he was in good spirits.
"Master." Yang Jun called.
"Hey, Junzi, why are you here?"
After saying that, open the door directly.
"Quick, please come inside."
Yang Jun smiled and came in.
After coming in, he first looked around the yard.
I saw that the flowers in the row of flower pots near the garden were all withered. It seemed that no one had taken care of them for a long time. The ground in the yard was covered with weeds. It didn't look like a place where anyone lived.
Yang Jun frowned when he saw this.
Seeing how desolate the yard was, he subconsciously looked at the home of the third uncle, Yan Bugui, who lived in the front yard. He saw that the door was closed and it looked like someone was living there.
"First Master, you are the only one here. Why didn't you see the Third Uncle and the Second Uncle?" Yang Jun asked.
Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai sighed, and then said: "The two brothers have moved away, and I am the only one left."
"Moved?"
Yang Jun frowned, thinking that the third uncle had moved away, why didn't he tell him.
I asked the third uncle to help me look after this courtyard house, and I was paid hundreds of dollars every month. Why did I leave without saying a word?
Although Yang Jun frowned slightly, Yi Zhonghai still noticed it, and he quickly explained,
"I didn't make it clear. It's because the third uncle and the second uncle are gone."
"No more?" Yang Jun was even more confused.
"Yes, no more."
When he said this, a look of sadness flashed across the face of the elder Yi Zhonghai, which looked very desolate.
"Six months ago, Lao Yan left first, and then a month later, Lao Liu also left. Now I am the only one left."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, and his originally straight body became inexplicably stooped.
There is nothing sadder than the death of people around you, especially people who have been neighbors for decades.
"Why didn't anyone notify me?"
Yang Jun looked sad and his tone was full of regret.
This was born from his heart, a sentiment from the heart, without any pretense.
Not only was the old man sad to lose his love for his neighbor, he was also filled with emotion.
Watching familiar people leave one by one, that feeling is really not something that young people can understand. The longer he lives, the more lonely he feels. Even though he now has a family full of children and grandchildren, he still cannot hide the deep feeling in his heart.
alone.
Those friends, colleagues, and family will leave him sooner or later, and then he will be left alone. Sometimes, immortality may not be a bad thing. He does not have the courage to commit suicide, so he can only live and endure.
This loneliness and desolation.
"I can't notify you."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he sighed.
I thought to myself, the difference in status between us is getting bigger and bigger now. We are not in the same circle at all. We all know ourselves, so how can we have the nerve to cling to you.
He is the most prestigious and respected person in this compound, and now he can only be reduced to looking after Yang Jun's house and the compound, not to mention the others.
Yi Zhonghai led Yang Jun to the place where the three uncles used to drink tea.
The place is desolate. There used to be three chairs there, but now there is only one chair left. Weeds are everywhere in the gaps between the surrounding floor tiles, which seems to add a sense of desolation to the sad and lonely atmosphere.
"Junzi, sit down."
The uncle gave the only chair to Yang Jun, but he sat directly on the ground.
When Yang Jun saw this, he felt a little embarrassed.
At such an old age, I am still trying to curry favor with myself.
However, he relaxed slightly and felt relieved.
He didn't show any pretense and sat on it directly.
"First uncle, please tell me more about the second uncle and the third uncle." Yang Jun said.
"good."
Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai looked up at Yang Jun, looking a little surprised, and then couldn't help but sigh: "You are the only one who still misses us old guys, unlike those in the yard, especially Lao Yan and
Lao Liu and his unfilial sons... ugh."
"What happened to them?" Yang Jun asked.
After speaking, Yang Jun pulled out a cigarette and handed it to him, and he lit a cigarette himself.
After Yi Zhonghai took the cigarette from Yang Jun, he clamped it directly on his ear.
"My lungs are broken and I can't smoke anymore."
After finishing speaking, he continued: "The unfilial sons of Lao Liu and Lao Yan came together to discuss not to inform you. I guess they just want to defraud their wages. Hasn't it been done? They have successfully defrauded you of their wages for several months.
?”
When Yang Jun heard this, he shook his head with a smile.
Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiedi, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and those bastards are really capable of doing this kind of thing, especially the boys of the third uncle's family. They have completely learned the third uncle's calculation skills, and even the masters are better than the masters, like
This kind of wage fraud does seem like something they did.
For a mere salary of a few hundred dollars a month, he actually concealed the news of his father's death. If Yang Jun hadn't come to the old house on a whim this time, he wouldn't have known that the second uncle and the third uncle were gone. It's not that he felt bad about it.
Wage is mainly sentimental about the departure of the old man. The departure of every familiar person will touch his heartstrings, even if this person did not deal with him at the beginning.
"It's not a matter of a few hundred dollars."
Yang Jun shook his head.
When the elder heard this, he also sighed.
This is the fate of having sons and grandsons. Even if they are dead, they will be used to defraud money. If his biological son Jia Dongxu was still alive, could he have done such a thing?
Finally, he came to a definite answer.
It's not that people have changed, it's that the world has changed. People now are not as kind as they used to be, and they don't pay much attention to filial piety.
"Master, is that salary enough? How about I give you a little extra every month?"
When Yang Jun thought that the elder was now older and needed money for medical treatment and medicine, he was afraid that his few hundred yuan a month would not be enough.
"That's enough, that's enough, no need to add more."
Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said: "As people get older, they have fewer desires, are not so greedy, and have less places to spend money. As for the body...it's pretty good. I don't need to take medicine or injections, and I can't spend a lot of money."
, there is really no need to add any more.”
Yang Jun heard this and said: "Okay, I understand."
However, he still decided in his heart to explain it later and add a little more.
He just wants me to live a more nourished and longer life, and I want to try my best to delay the death of people around me one by one.
As for all the previous grudges, as he grew older, he felt that they no longer mattered. He believed that the first uncle thought the same.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind.
"Lao Yi, are there guests at home?"
Yang Jun heard someone talking and looked back, only to see Mrs. Jia Zhang walking towards here carrying a pot of tea.
When Yang Jun saw it was Jia Zhang, he was stunned for a moment, and then called out: "Aunt Jia."
Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai had obtained their certificates a few months ago. They are now legally married, and it is natural for them to live together.
Seeing that it was Yang Jun, Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became unhappy.
All the past grievances suddenly flooded into her mind. Thinking about the scene in which Yang Jun treated her before, she couldn't help but feel angry.
Seeing Yang Jun, Jia Zhang walked back without saying a word, carrying the teapot.
"Old woman, what are you doing?"
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "You are a guest, what are you doing?"
"return."
Jia Zhang still listened to Yi Zhonghai's words.
She walked halfway and turned back with her fat buttocks.
"Bang!"
He threw the teapot on the table and glared at Yang Jun.
"Who do you call Aunt Jia?"
When Yang Jun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly smiled and said: "Aunt Yi, I was wrong. Don't be the same as me."
"snort!"
Seeing that Yang Jun had changed his mind and had a good attitude towards admitting his mistake, Jia Zhang did not embarrass Yang Jun too much.
However, Yang Jun didn't give Yang Jun a good look. He stood leaning on the pillar next to him and kept rolling his eyes at her.
When Yang Jun saw this, he didn't agree with her.
How come someone at such an old age is still so angry? It is not at all in line with the characteristics of an elderly person.
Yang Jun looked at Yi Zhonghai's figure, which was dry and thin, and then looked at Jia Zhang's waist, which can be described in two words: plump.
"Ha ha!"
Yi Zhonghai was stunned by Yang Jun's sudden laughter.
"Junzi, why are you laughing?"
"I'm laughing, I know why you are so thin."
After saying that, he glanced at Jia Zhang secretly.
Jia Zhang's brain was slow to react, and she didn't guess what Yang Jun meant by saying that. But Yi Zhonghai was quick to steal. No matter how old he was, he was still a man. How could he still know about things between men?
"You kid... How old am I, and you still make fun of me?" Yi Zhonghai said with a blushing face.
"Hehe, it's harmless, it's harmless."
At this time, Jia Zhang also reacted, glared at Yang Jun, and muttered a few words.
Yang Jun didn't hear clearly what she said, but he probably didn't mean anything good.
He didn't bother to worry about it.
"By the way, Master, now you and Aunt Yi live in this courtyard. Let's do this. I'll give Aunt Yi a salary later."
"this……"
After hearing this, the uncle was a little moved, but he was used to being a moral god, so he had to say a few polite words when he opened his mouth.
Instead, it was Jia Zhang who spoke.
"Isn't that what it should be?"
"It doesn't make sense for us, an old couple, to show you a house and get a salary, right?"
When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he glared at her and motioned for her to say less.
On the contrary, Jia Zhang was used to being strong and directly pulled him aside.
"What's wrong with what I said? It's natural to get paid for work, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
When Yang Jun heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said: "Master, Aunt Yi is right. It is only natural to get paid for work. From next month... no, starting from this month, I will also give Aunt Yi a salary."
Money is nothing to Yang Jun, and anything that can be solved with money is nothing.
"Junzi...this..."
Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to accept Yang Jun's kindness.
"Then I'll thank you."
Yang Jun waved his hand and said: "Master, please don't say that. These are all things that should be done."
Jia Zhang on the side raised her nose and raised her face, seeing how easy it was to fool Yang Jun, so she rolled her eyes.
"Young man named Yang, you can't calculate your salary like this, right? If you want to pay me a salary, can you also make up for my salary for the past few months?"
