The palace there is very high and deep, and there is always a gentle breeze.

In particular, Ning Weimin also accumulated blessings for himself with his own hands.

The summer book market organized by him, the second-hand goods market at the gate of the Zhai Palace, the zoo outside the West Tianmen, and the newly built tea shed inside the East Tianmen are all great entertainment.

I went to the book market to buy some books, went to the zoo to feed the deer, and when I was hungry, I went to the food stall at the entrance of the Zhai Palace to replenish my appetite.

When I feel tired, I go to the teahouse to make a pot of tea, sit under the shade of a tree, eat sour plum cake, order melon seeds and peanuts, and listen to a few books.

He can live a comfortable life without revealing his identity at all.

When the sun turned to the west, he walked back slowly and bought some food on the way back to fill his stomach in the evening.

The two children in the courtyard are always under the big locust tree at the door, picking locust flowers and waiting for the adults in the courtyard to come back.

Ning Weimin loved playing with the two children and liked their cleverness and cleverness.

So almost every day I had to bring back a few pieces of candy, one or two pieces of pea yellow, or beef jerky to share with them.

Sometimes by chance, maybe at this time, there will be a grasshopper seller or a seller of small goldfish in the alley.

If he catches up, Ning Weimin will definitely call the hawker over.

For these two greedy children who dare not ask the adults for money, buy two grasshoppers or a few small fish with golden grass.

Since he is an uncle, he should act like an uncle.

It’s hard to let two neighbor’s children call each other “uncle” every day for free, right?

After entering the door at this time, there is shade under the west wall. Ning Weimin will move a small stool and sit under the jujube tree, sipping on mung bean soup or sour plum soup that he may have bought from a neighbor's house, and listening to the evening music.

Storytelling Broadcast.

To be honest, since Kang Shude didn't eat much at home after starting his business, Ning Weimin had more freedom in his dinner.

Instead of going to the big wine tank to join in the fun with his master, he would stay in the courtyard and share the table with the neighbors.

The neighbor's food and drinks may only be tofu mixed with Chinese toon, or pickled cucumbers with green onions, which are far less good than the meat dishes Ning Weimin brought back.

But Ning Weimin is never picky and never looks outside.

What he pictured was the excitement, the friendship, and the warmth of being close to neighbors and feeling like family.

After the meal, it is often not dark yet, so the most enjoyable and relaxing part of summer begins.

The habit of enjoying the cool air in Beijing has been around for a long time, but there are some differences between children and adults.

Children, especially boys, must have something to "cleanse their spine" by the adults at home after meals or before going to bed.

This kind of shower is different from taking a bath. There is no need to use the big wooden basin of "Two Mothers" to throw people in and scrub them.

There is no need for a bathroom, and you don't even need to take off your underwear.

All you need to do is ask the child taking a shower to take off his arms, stand directly in the yard, and collect the water with a ladle or basin. After a quick shower, he will be cool!

Those who are particular about it need to apply soap and wash themselves. For those who are not particular about it, they just need to wash it casually. It will remove the sweat from the body and avoid prickly heat.

By the way, the water also washed the ground in the courtyard clean and took away the heat. It definitely killed two birds with one stone.

As for the adults in the courtyard who don't have to take care of their children, they often bring out benches, mats or bamboo loungers from their homes and sit under the grape vine or loofah trellis in the courtyard.

Everyone was drinking jasmine tea, eating fruits and beans brought out by each house, and listening to the old people from each house shaking cattail fans talking about ancient times.

I could sit there until after ten o'clock in the evening, blowing the cool breeze in the courtyard, smelling the fragrance of tuberose flowers in the courtyard, and listening to the melodious sound of the oil gourds in the courtyard. It was so comfortable and comfortable.

That's not all. In addition, the alley outside the courtyard gate is a broader communication platform and a larger social place.

If you don’t want to stay in the courtyard, you can grab a bench or a horse and gather in an open space on the street to chat with neighbors from all over the alley in other courtyards, or use the dim street lights to chat.

Light, chess, cards.

The naughtiest boys actually love to hang out with adults at this time, listen to all kinds of social rumors, learn good things and bad things from them.

Think about it, how could Ning Weimin be willing to live such a down-to-earth life with plenty of fun?

To be honest, sometimes he really envies these ordinary people.

If possible, he really wished he could continue to be as leisurely as they were.
