Chapter 945 The Crybaby Hao Jingshi
Hao Jingshi used to secretly come back from time to time to take a look at her house, recall her past life, and cheer herself up in her heart, so that she would have more motivation to persevere with her daughter.
So Hao Jingshi was very clear about the changes in the house. When she found that the courtyard wall had been demolished, she cried bitterly when she returned home, because this meant that she was a little further away from her home.
After Hao Jingshi came around this time, she found that the courtyard wall had not only been rebuilt, but also much higher than before, and it was covered with glittering glass fragments. The sharp iron gun heads on the iron-red gate gave people living inside a very reassuring feeling.
This change made Hao Jingshi's tears overflow from her eyes involuntarily, sliding down her face to the ground, but this time she didn't have to run home and cry secretly in the quilt.
After Han Li bought gifts on the street today, he felt lazy and didn't want to move at all, so he found a hotel nearby and stayed there.
At the front desk, he bought a thermos of hot water to make tea for himself, and lay comfortably on the bed to read.
Speaking of hot water, most of the hot water for ordinary people in Shanghai now is bought from "tiger stoves".
Tiger stove: This is said to be an ancient tradition in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.
Because the shape of the stove is a bit like a tiger, it is named tiger stove.
It is said that since the establishment of Shanghai, many outsiders have flocked to Shanghai to find work, and thousands of people have lived in shanty towns or alleys.
However, at that time, the main fuel in Shanghai was firewood and straw, which could not meet the needs of so many people for eating, drinking and bathing, so smart people began to open tiger stoves on the streets to sell tea and hot water for a living.
According to records, by the 1950s, the tiger stoves in Shanghai reached their peak, with more than 2,000 tiger stoves in the city. After that, the number decreased year by year as the water supply system continued to improve.
The next day, Han Li shook his stretched muscles, washed up, and went to the front desk to check out of the room.
Next, Han Li came to the street office where Duolun Road belonged with a bucket of ten kilograms of sunflower honey. He chatted with the director of the street office for a long time, and then left with the key of Hao Hongmin's house.
Han Li originally planned to see if there was anything missing in the room, and to buy some for himself. By the way, he also used this yard as a cover to get more mahogany furniture from "Huaiguojiu".
But what Han Li didn't expect was that when he came to the gate of this yard, he found that Hao Jingshi was already waiting here, and it seemed that she had been here for a while.
"Auntie, you are here. I just got the key from the street office. I was going to send you a message after going in to take a look."
"Han Li, why haven't you been home these two days? How do you usually eat?"
While talking to Hao Jingshi, Han Li took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.
The two of them walked into the courtyard together. Han Li looked at the courtyard and the room. This place covers an area of about 600 square meters, which is about the same size as a small two-entry courtyard in Sijiu City.
The house is a two-story European-style two-story building. The courtyard is cleaned fairly well. The surrounding walls are all raised and covered with glass fragments.
After opening the door and walking in, the situation is better than expected. It may be that there are not many people in the cultural and publicity departments of the street office, and they are not used very often, so this place has not been ruined too much.
The place where the chandelier should be is now a light bulb, and some places around where the wall skin has fallen off have been painted with white lime. Overall, it looks okay.
Although the furniture in the room is quite comprehensive, it is obviously not in line with the style of the interior of the house. It should be that the director of the street office asked someone to pull it from other places to make up the number.
After observing this large living room, Han Li was about to go to other rooms to take a look, and found that Hao Jingshi was touching the handrail of the door with her hand and crying over there.
Han Li understood Hao Jingshi's behavior, but he didn't know how to comfort someone in this situation, so he could only walk over to her side and whisper to her.
"Aunt, everything in the past is over, and life at home will definitely get better and better in the future."
Han Li didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Hao Jingshi next to him would hug him and cry, and the more she cried, the more pain she felt.
Han Li could understand Hao Jingshi's current mood of waiting for many years and regaining what she had lost, but the key point was that he didn't know what to do now? It seemed that nothing he did was appropriate in this situation.
But he couldn't do nothing, so Han Li could only reach out a hand and gently pat Hao Jingshi's back, and wait until she had cried enough and stopped crying naturally.
Fortunately, Hao Jingshi didn't cry for too long. After she stopped crying, she thought of her behavior just now, and a large area of Han Li's chest was wet with tears, and took a step back and said calmly.
"I'm sorry, Han Li, I made fun of you. Take off your clothes and I'll wash them for you."
"It's okay, auntie. Let's go check the other rooms first. Please write down what's missing and I'll buy it later."
Hao Jingshi nodded without saying anything, and the two of them started to check the other rooms.
The faucets in the bathroom and kitchen in the house can be used, and there are no problems with the sewer.
But the toilet looked newly installed because the cement around it hadn't dried yet.
There was no kitchenware in the kitchen, only two mismatched cabinets.
There was nothing in the living room on the second floor. Only three of the five bedrooms had beds, and there were two matching wardrobes.
All the rooms seemed to have been cleaned, but in fact, many places were still very dirty.
If you want to move in, you still need to wipe and clean carefully.
Or according to Han Li's suggestion, this cleaning work will be done after Hao Hongmin comes back.
But Hao Jingshi obviously couldn't stand it now. She picked up a piece of rag on the ground, washed it in the bathroom, and started to work.
"Aunt, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. This rag is not clean even if you rub it several times. It's okay if you use it to wipe the floor, but it won't work if you use it to wipe the windowsill, stairs and other places.
So, you should first figure out how to arrange the room. I'll go out and buy some tools. This way, we can clean quickly and cleanly."
Hao Jingshi: "I'm too excited. Han Li, sit down and rest for a while. I'll go buy some cleaning tools."
Although Han Li didn't like to work, how could he let Hao Jingshi go shopping at this time? After a few excuses, he went out to buy things.
And this time, for the sake of speed, Han Li stopped a turtle car on the side of the road and pulled himself into the nearest store.
After arriving here, Han Li first bought two mops. Although this thing doesn't require a ticket, it costs two yuan to buy one.
He has towels in the decomposition space, although they are defective products in two pieces. After thinking about it, he bought a feather duster, two washbasins, two thermoses, and a kettle.
Originally, he wanted to buy a gas stove, but Han Li didn't have a ticket.
However, this kind of thing must be in the family. Han Li thought about it and bought another set of bedding. He planned to stay on Duolun Road today and go to the black market to exchange some tickets at night.
Han Li found a turtle car again to send him and the goods back. On the way, he asked the master to drive to a nearby coal briquette supply station and bought some coal briquettes and stoves from there. He paid extra to have them delivered to the door.
After seeing the things Han Li bought, Hao Jingshi
