Looking at the tearful Le Wa'er, Xie Xiaolin warned: "Don't lick it anymore. I won't care if your tongue freezes off next time. And you, have you seen the consequences of licking the iron door? You are not allowed to do it in the future."
I did it." As he said that, he glanced at the children next to him.
When he glanced over, the children quickly made assurances: "We understand, Uncle Xiaolin, we don't dare to lick the iron gate."
"Yeah, I'm not stupid. Why are you licking the iron gate in the winter?"
"I can't think of you even if you don't speak. Are you trying to make people lick the iron door again?" Seeing an older child next to him, Xie Xiaolin probably knew what was going on.
"No, no, I just said that the iron gate is sweet, and I didn't say anything else." The child shook his head quickly, but the guilty look on his face had already betrayed him.
"Let's go, let's not do this again." Knowing that arguing with them would produce no results, and that they were the best at their age, Xie Xiaolin waved his hand and let them go.
On the way home, Zhang Yu asked curiously: "Brother Xiaolin, what's going on with that iron gate? And that house, is the school here so well built?" It stands to reason that in this era,
It is unlikely that a rural school would install an iron gate.
"What are you talking about, the iron gate? I know, I know." Xie Xiaoyan on the side quickly grabbed the conversation.
"This house was built by a landowner in the past. Before liberation, there were a lot of bandits here. For safety reasons, his house was built very high and had a thick iron door. But later on
They were targeted by bandits and ransacked their home at night, including all the servants in the house. No one was spared.
In the end, only one baby was left in their family, who was put in a bucket by the family and lowered the bucket into the well. He escaped and was later adopted by a relative who had no children in other places."
Xie Xiaolin continued her words and added: "As for this house, his relative didn't want it because he thought it was unlucky. The villagers wanted it but didn't dare to live in it, because the first two people who boldly went to live there also came one after another.
The land was robbed. After all, at that time, the house was an obvious target for robbery.
Later, because no one lived there for a long time, it became a lot dilapidated. When our village established a brigade, it was used as a warehouse.
Later, after our area was approved to set up a school, we freed up several rooms to be used as classrooms."
Walking and talking all the way, they soon arrived at home. At this time, Zhou Huizhen had already cooked. When she saw them coming in, she asked, "What are you doing?"
"Auntie, we went to the school. Lewazi was tricked by a group of older children into licking the big iron gate, and his tongue got stuck. My brother went to get it off for him," Xie Xiaoyan said beside her.
"Another child licked the big iron gate." Zhou Huizhen said with surprise, but she was not surprised. Just like Xie Xiaohui said earlier, every year there are several children who are either curious or curious.
Being encouraged to lick the big iron gate never stops every year.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and face. I've warmed up the hot water and prepared the food. I'll be ready to eat after washing my hands."
During these days in the Northeast, Zhang Yu completely released the youthful nature buried in his heart. Following Xie Xiaoyan and the others, he smoked ice monkeys, carried ice sledges, went skating, and played with ice cars...
I have played through the entertainment options for children in the Northeast winter, inside and out. After the first month of the year, I will be preparing for the return trip on February 6th.
Zhou Suqin was very reluctant to let him go back, and didn't know if they could see each other again if he went back this time, but she just held his hand and asked, "Can't we stay for two more days?"
"Grandma, I'll come back after the holiday. It's time for me to go back to school." Zhang Yu comforted softly and promised to come back during the holiday.
At this time, we have already missed the unified start of the school year. The school has already begun to urge us and we cannot delay it any longer.
"Then it's settled, you must come during the holidays this year. Grandma has left some delicious food for you." Zhou Suqin said and touched Zhang Yu's head again, and warned him uneasily.
"Well, I will definitely come." Grandma, grandpa is also old here. His mother passed away, so he must fulfill his filial piety for his elders.
Since he has taken over the body of the original owner, he should live well on his behalf and honor his relatives on his behalf. Besides, he can't tell whether he is the Zhang Yu of later generations or the Zhang Yu of today, but that's not the case.
Is it all him?
After hearing his affirmative answer and promising to come again this year, Xie Hongguang's face, who was sitting silently next to him, finally softened a lot. Although he didn't say much, he still felt that he was the only bloodline left by his daughter.
He is also very loving.
"Wait here for a moment. We will tell you something. You have to remember it and don't let others know." Xie Hongguang looked serious, turned around and closed the door. What he said next was not suitable for everyone to know.
My son and daughter-in-law are old enough to know that it's okay, but the following children are still young and I'm worried that if they find out, they'll tell them without restraint.
Seeing that the door was closed, Zhou Suqin took out two keys from his pocket, handed them to Zhang Yu, and told him to keep the keys.
"Grandma, what is this?" Zhang Yu was a little confused. Why should he be so serious? And what was the purpose of giving him the key?
"Although the Xie family has fallen into decline, there is still some wealth left. This key can open the door to the house at No. 36, Hutong, XX Road, south of Beijing. It is the last house in the hutong. Just keep it.

"Grandma, I have a house in Beijing. You should give this house to your uncle and uncle. You will have to go back." Zhang Yu quickly refused.
"I told you to keep it, so just keep it. This is your mother's share. Your two uncles each have their own share, so just keep it." Xie Hongguang said seriously.
"Then I, then I will..." Zhang Yu took the key and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Take it, this is your mother's share. It was supposed to be used as a dowry for her, but our Xie family was on the cusp of the storm at that time, and we didn't dare to put these things out to air. In the end, your mother could only carry so much
She got married hastily with nothing of value, and even kept the betrothal gift from your father at home in order to hide it from others." Having said this, Zhou Suqin still felt a little uncomfortable. Her girl was supposed to get married in a grand way, which made countless people unhappy.
