Chapter 1600
Xu is that there are hardly any carriages going in or out of such a place. The more they go in, the more curious people look at them, and there are many children who are laughing and screaming and chasing after them.
Ah Ye turned around for a while, the carriage entered a small alley, staggered past two large puddles with water, and finally stopped in front of a large dilapidated yard.
Outside the yard, there are two large locust trees that two people hug each other thickly. The red brick yard wall that is more than half a person's height is very dilapidated, with moss growing on the foot of the wall, and the outer wall is mottled and gray.
The original two courtyard doors were damaged by wind and rain. Several pieces of the original planks were damaged, but they were repaired and patched, which looked even more dilapidated.
Li Xia stepped forward and knocked on the door lightly, and the door was pushed open a little. She was stunned and shouted inside, "Is there anyone? Does Mr. Zheng Sangge live here?"
There was a slight noise in the yard, and soon, an old lady came over to open the door tremblingly, looked at Li Xia with her cloudy eyes, and asked cautiously, "Girl, who are you..."
The old lady was pushing and shoving five or six children behind her, both men and women, wearing clothes that were covered in patches and washed white.
With a timid expression, he secretly looked at Li Xia, curious and a little scared.
Li Xia looked at them subconsciously, and when they met their eyes, they immediately avoided them shyly, smiling embarrassedly.
Li Xia hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng Sanger must live here? Grandma, our master and wife are Mr. Zheng's friends. We agreed with Mr. Zheng to come and visit two days ago. Is Mr. Zheng at home?"
The old lady said, "Ah?" with a trembling smile: "Yes, is it Xiao Zheng's friend? Then, please come in, come in quickly. Yaner, Jinger, hurry, hurry up and find you Zheng. Uncle is back..."
The two children agreed and ran away.
Two or three old people came out of the house and asked what was the matter?
Qiao Xuan brought Li Xia and A Ye in, and greeted them with a smile.
The old people were a little nervous at first, but when they saw Qiao Xuan's face was kind, smiling and gentle, they gradually felt relieved and hurriedly invited her to sit in the room.
The yard was originally quite large, but the houses were fully built. In addition to the mud rammed ones, there were also wooden ones and thatched ones, which were dilapidated and outdated.
There are too many houses, and the patio is crowded to a narrow place, and it is such a little place that some garlic sprouts, green onions, coriander, etc. are planted with needles.
I think it's the same, the seventy or so people are crowded to live here.
"This - we have nothing here, and the house is in chaos. Mrs. Shao, you take care of it."
"It's okay, it's okay, the old man is welcome!"
Qiao Xuan brought a lot of food. Knowing that there were many people, they bought things in large quantities. The three baskets carried from the carriage were full of pork, mutton, eggs, radish and cabbage, winter melon, tofu, dried tofu, Dried mushrooms, packets of snacks, fresh apples, pears, dates, etc., as well as ten live chickens and 30 catties of rice and noodles.
Several old people thanked them repeatedly when they saw this, and the children couldn't help but stare at these things with eagerness.
Qiao Xuan smiled and asked Mianmian to take a packet of peanut and sesame candies and split them up.
