Daily life of a young couple in 60's Hutong

Chapter 451-460

Chapter 451

Every time he entered the slum, Zhao Lei would feel that he and his wife were really lucky in this life, since at least they lived in a courtyard house.

Moreover, it is a courtyard house with one entrance. Even though my wife occasionally complains that it is not as lively as the surrounding courtyard houses, which are all courtyard houses with two or three entrances, it becomes more lively as more people live there.

Even if there were conflicts among her neighbors, she could only wait for Aunt Hao and the others to come back before going over to find out what was going on.

It's not that she doesn't want to go, but her work limits her desire to listen to gossip all the time. If it were the student Wang Juan from before, she could listen whenever she wanted, and no one would think it was wrong.

But now she works in the street area. Even if it is not the compound she is responsible for, when she shows up, she represents the street area and she always has to step in to deal with things.

To put it bluntly, when it comes to family matters, no one is absolutely right. After all the involvement, everyone is wrong. However, when handling the matter, even if one believes that the handling is very fair, in the eyes of the parties involved, Wang Juan is still biased.

After suffering a loss once, Wang Juan could only stay at home every time she heard something exciting happening next door, waiting for Aunt Hao and the others to come back so that the same scene would happen again.

Thanks to Aunt Hao and the others for telling the story in a very interesting way when they reenacted the scene, otherwise Wang Juan would have really cried to death.

Even if there are illegal buildings in the surrounding courtyards, at least they are not like here. Once the door is opened, the passage will definitely be blocked.

Aunt Liu watched Zhao Liang's expression change from time to time, and she knew that her courtyard really scared the young man, "That's what happens when there are too many people."

Uncle Liu agreed, "Although there were many people in the courtyard when I was young, and there were also constructions, it was not so crazy, and the passages were larger."

"But there are too many people and we can't get a house. Our family doesn't have the money to buy a house. We have no choice but to continue building houses."

"Also, everyone around me has built it. If I don't, I'll be losing out." Zhao Lei knew everyone's thoughts very well. In a nutshell, if others have it, I must have it too, otherwise I'll be losing out.

Uncle Liu nodded happily, "Yes, yes, that's the idea."

During the discussion of the three, they finally arrived at Liu's house. Looking at the open space at the door, you should know that Liu's house has two rooms, so the open space in front of the house is quite large.

Without even entering the house, Zhao Lei started discussing with Aunt Liu, "With such a large space, we can build a kitchen and bathroom, and then a storage room."

"We can build a terrace upstairs to dry clothes and so on." Zhao Lei whispered in Aunt Liu's ear, "Make it sturdy. When there are more people in the family and there is not enough space, we can build two small rooms upstairs."

Aunt Liu's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, yes."

Seeing his wife so excited, Uncle Liu knew that Zhao Lei must have said something to her, but he didn't know the content. He was anxious, but he could only wait. Many neighbors gathered around, so he could only wait until he returned home to ask his wife.
