Chapter 1198: The Human Touch of the Courtyard

Aunt Meng didn't come back after a long time, and the other uncles and aunts seemed to be used to it, Gu Zi was playing mahjong and gossiping.

"Which time the fight between the two sisters wasn't just for a long time. When old Mengtou was around, Liyan still had some scruples. Now that old Mengtou is gone, and Aunt Meng can't hold her back, there will definitely be a lot of quarrel!" The uncle understood.

"Old Hu, you live in the same yard as the Meng family, so you must know a lot of things. Did Lina hook up with a rich man?" Uncle Liu asked with interest.

"I don't know, but the Meng family's food has improved recently. Last night, they cooked fried shrimp with scallions. It's delicious!" Uncle Hu licked his lips, salivating.

Tang Xiaonan became even more amused when she heard that Xijiangyue Lane was not all villas, there were also many chaotic courtyards where more than a dozen families lived together, and there were public toilets in good conditions, while those in poor conditions could only use toilets and wait for the next day. When it is not lit, there will be regular visits to collect night incense.

It is only collected once a day, and it is very early, usually when the sky is about to dawn. It is fine in summer, but it is really tormented in winter. If you forget to pour the night incense, you can only wait for the next day.

Although Songcheng was the first-class big city in the country at this time, the housing conditions of many residents were really poor. It was quite good for a family of five or six to have a small house of about ten square meters. Household toilets are such a luxury. Goods, many people dare not think, there is a public toilet to thank God.

In addition, the kitchen is also communal, usually four or five households, and there are seven or eight households. Many households are crowded in one kitchen, and the stoves are separated.

Although it is very inconvenient, there are also different feelings.

For example, if anyone cooks hard dishes such as braised pork in brown sauce, big prawns, fried hairtail, stewed ribs, etc., they will get a lot of envy in the kitchen, because every family is not rich at this time, and generally they are light. It is a luxury to be able to eat a meal of meat.

Although the housing conditions in Dazayuan at this time were very poor, the human touch was also very strong. On the contrary, in later generations, every household was a single household with its own bathroom and kitchen. The conditions have improved a lot, but the human touch has really faded.

There may even be situations where people have lived face to face for several years, but they don't know each other.

The kitchens of the Meng family and the Hu family are shared, so Uncle Hu knows exactly what the Meng family eats for each meal, and other people are very greedy when they hear it. Shrimp fried with green onions is a high-end dish.

Uncle Hu even compared his fingers,

"The big prawns are so long and big, one is enough for me to drink two taels of old wine, Aunt Meng cooked six, six, the smell... the whole building can smell it."

"Six prawns of this size are not cheap. They cost about ten yuan. Lina really caught a rich husband this time, and Aunt Meng has made it through." The others envied.

"Don't say it too early, you're not married yet, who knows if it will end." An aunt said disdainfully.

There was a faint crying sound in the distance, the voice was sharp and piercing, and several old people shook their heads in unison.

"Every time Lina loses, Liyan is always polite to outsiders, but she and her own sister can't figure it out. I don't know why they are arguing this time."

"Why else? It's just that I hate Lina for messing around. The previous quarrel was not about this. Liyan asked Lina to find a decent job and stop messing around with men. Lina refused and said she had no conscience. If you can't say three words, you will quarrel." Uncle Hu curled his lips and said.
