Cao Zhiqiang, who was in a sigh, quickly pushed the car and walked along the corridor to his doorstep. He immediately found that the windows of the south house had been opened.

This shows that my younger sister Cao Lili has come back from school.

Because since her mother died, Cao Zhiqiang lived in a relatively dark north house and gave the better-oriented south house to his younger sister Cao Lili, so the south house is now Cao Lili's personal room.

The reason for this is that the east and west wing rooms here are separated from the south wing rooms, and are separated by a distance and are not connected together. Therefore, the hillside parts of the south wing rooms here can be sunny.

When there was an earthquake, everyone was repairing houses. When the earthquake room was in progress, Cao Zhiqiang's father took the opportunity to open a window on the wall of the Nanshan Mountain of the house and had a south window, so there were windows on the west and south sides of the south, which could also reach the sun and bring the best lighting.

As for the functions of the kitchen and living room, they are all in the earthquake room that was originally built.

In other words, the original second-east wing room was built with an earthquake room extending to the west. The entire house area was nearly twice as large as the original, and the total area reached 60 square meters, making it a complete three-bedroom apartment. In addition to lighting, it was almost done, and other aspects were pretty good.

Now that the window in the south room has opened, Cao Lili must be reading and doing homework in her room.

It is already late at night and the sky is still very gloomy, so the indoor lighting is not very good at this time.

Reading and doing homework requires sufficient light, otherwise you will not be able to tell the eyes or see the textbook clearly.

Therefore, although it will be cold when opening the window, it can allow more light to shine in, so that you can turn on less light and save more electricity.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed faintly.

To be honest, since the cheap mother Lin Meili died, or since Cao Zhiqiang came here.

I remember that my sister Cao Lili, who is not related by blood, has always been shy and very taciturn and unwilling to talk.

She is obviously a child, but now, except for occasionally responding to Cao Zhiqiang's words, she usually has a stern face, expressionless face, and is serious.

After Lin Meili died, she has become more silent now, basically not communicating with others, and is very afraid of having sex, especially when strangers touch her, and she does not have the innocent and romantic appearance of a child.

This kind of behavior made Cao Zhiqiang feel distressed and worried.

Unfortunately, Cao Zhiqiang is not a child psychology expert and is not good at coaxing children. He can only take care of her as much as he can, especially in terms of material things.

At least, she now has meat every meal and goat milk every day. She has never lacked vegetables and fruits, so she is much better than many of her peers.

Of course this is only temporary. After that, as the income increases, Cao Zhiqiang believes that Cao Lili's life will only become better.

As for blood relationships, that doesn't matter.

What’s important is that although this sister is not stunning and has an ordinary figure, she looks very weak and helpless in conjunction with her expression and expression, and looks like she has a desire to protect herself.

Raising this sister is much better than raising a cat in her previous life.

It’s so strange. How could Cao Zhiqiang, who had been willing to dislike this sister before, and bully her in various ways?

This is obviously a cute guy who needs to be held in the palm of your hand and taken good care of it!

Forget it, that's all the past!

Anyway, from now on, I will protect this cute girl’s life!

After suddenly thinking of this sentence, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help but smile.

Afterwards, he said nothing, parked the car in the veranda at the door of his house, and did not care about the things in the car basket or pork belly. Instead, he untied the rope in the back seat of the car, then picked up the calculator, kicked open the door, and walked to the living room.

After entering the living room, I found that the stove had already started, and this was definitely the work of my sister.

This sister is really hardworking, I really can't say it.

Of course, doing so can make yourself warmer.

It is early spring now, and it has just been a few days since March of the Gregorian calendar.

At this time, the temperature in the capital was still quite low, which was the so-called late spring cold.

Especially in the morning and evening, although it is not as low as zero, it is quite cold.

Therefore, everyone in Siheyuan still has to burn the stove in the house to keep heating, otherwise they will not be able to stand it.

The main body of the coal stove in Cao Zhiqiang's house was in the earthquake room that was built privately before, but the chimney of the stove was T-shaped, with two chimneys leading to the south and north houses, and then smoke was discharged from the roofs of these two rooms respectively.

In this way, the south house and the north house can also be a little warmer.

This structure that uses chimney heating is definitely incomparable to heating and floor heating, but it is better to have chimney heating than not.

This is the structure of the old Siheyuan. Unless it is undergoing major renovations and major changes, it is not as good as a modern building in terms of quality of life.

After entering the room, Cao Zhiqiang felt the warmth in the room. After smiling again, he placed the tape recorder on the dining table in the living room and started unpacking.

He decided not to ask his sister out for a while and give her a surprise later.

Soon, he removed the packaging, then pulled the plug-in, plugged it in, took out a tape, and put it into the recorder.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar outside, and a sudden thunder broke out.

Immediately afterwards, a drizzle of drizzle began to fall.

Cao Zhiqiang stopped and turned his head to look out the window.

"Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen, which is a good sign."

With a slight smile, Cao Zhiqiang was no longer hurried to play the recorder.

Get up and come to the cabinet.

Open the cabinet door and take out two iron jars and a small white porcelain jar.

Pour a little instant Panama Rose coffee powder from a black ceramic jar and pour it into an enamel jar.

Pour a little instant Alpine goat milk powder from the white ceramic jar and pour it into the enamel jar.

Pour a little white sugar from another porcelain jar and pour it into the enamel jar.

He looked around carefully and found that there was no one. He suddenly stretched out his hand and turned into a military kettle out of thin air like magic.

Open the plug of the military kettle, and there is hot hot water inside.

Brew a cup of fragrant coffee with hot water and took a deep breath.

The full aroma of coffee immediately lingers in the nose and chest.

Well, the reason for this is that Cao Zhiqiang made a temporary decision.

After all, there is a guy who is very capable of pretending, but didn’t he say that it was a guy who failed later?

Life is not just about being in front of you, but also about poetry and distant places.

There is no need for poetry and distant places, but living a life is also a bit of ritual.

Otherwise, how boring will the days be?

Just like now.

With the beginning of spring rain.

Drink Panamanian Rose Coffee brewed with boiled Fijian water and mixed with Italian Alps goat milk.

Use domestic high-quality audio recorders.

Listening to Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music from the 1980s.

It's very ritual, very bourgeois, and very scent!

Pretending to others is called pretending to be thirteen, or pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.

Just do it for yourself, that is to know and understand life.

After smiling and nodding, Cao Zhiqiang, who was in a happy mood, gently pressed the play button and the recorder started to operate.

Soon, a melodious sound came out of the stereo speaker:

Who is knocking on my window

Who is pulling the strings

That forgotten time

Gradually, it rose out of my heart

...

Accompanied by the melodious song "Forgotten Time".

There is also the sound of rain dripping outside the house.

Cao Zhiqiang took a sip of it brewed with 85 degrees Celsius Fijian water, and instant coffee mixed with Italian Alps Wild Goat Instant Milk Powder and Panama Rosexia Instant Coffee Powder.

After closing his eyes, Cao Zhiqiang sighed deeply.

All the things he experienced after traveling through time.

It began to be accompanied by the sound of rain and music.
