Original Maribo
Number 7 in Viangli is next to number 6 on the right. No. 6 is slightly smaller than No. 7, with a slightly different layout. The wing is on the left, the main room is vacant, and the patio is semi-blocked. Unlike No. 7, which is completely open-air, there is a small room separated to the left of the patio, which is smaller in area and looks like an old porterhouse.
Vianli, demolished
Three families live downstairs in No. 6.
The Ninghan family lives in the front wing room. Ning Han was the same age as me. He was slightly fat and well-behaved. He became the captain of the Young Pioneers in the third grade of elementary school. He wore a three-stripe sign on his arm. He walked with a look at himself, spoke calmly and reservedly, and looked like a cadre. Ninghan's surname is Ye, which is his mother's surname. It is unclear whether Ning Han's father also had the surname Ye. Ning Han's father worked at the Tobacco, Wine and Tea Management Company at the entrance of Tongyi Street across from Weianli. He was short and stocky, with an easy-going face and a gentle, courteous and thrifty look.
When Ninghan was three years old, his mother died of illness. His mother's sister came up from Xiajiang to help with the housework and became his stepmother. His aunt was dignified, thin, soft-spoken, and never blushed. When she encountered neighborhood disputes, she always tried to persuade both sides to make peace. Ning Han also has an older sister and a younger brother. The younger brother is named Ning Hua. When his stepmother came, he added a younger sister to Ning Han, named Xiaoying. I remember his sister's appearance clearly. She wore a red scarf whenever she came out. She had a dignified appearance and a figure like her father. Ning Han's figure is similar to his father's, and his face is similar to his aunt.
On the right is the famous Hubei military general Hu Daoben
There is an uncle in Ninghan who also lives in his house, named Ye Shanfu, who is good at table tennis. When I first moved into Vianli, he was playing on the Hubei Provincial Table Tennis Team and was a contemporary athlete of Zhuang Zedong and Li Furong. Ye Shanfu is not as reserved and reserved as his sister. He is smart, smart and eloquent in life. At that time, table tennis was very popular in China. Every time Ye Shanfu returned to Vianli, there were always a lot of people gathered around to listen to him talk about the game. One night, I saw Ye Shanfu talking endlessly under the street lamp, and his eyes actually sparkled. At that time, Ye Shanfu's skills could not compare with those of Hu Daoben and He Zubin who were also in the provincial team, but he turned around and became the branch secretary of the team, and his words were more effective than the head coach.
Unfortunately, a few years later, Ninghan's stepmother and aunt died of illness, and she passed away too hastily. At that time, Ninghan Elementary School had not graduated yet. Behind the scenes, the adults there were talking a lot, saying: Good people don't live long.
Zaikang’s family lives in the back room downstairs on No. 6. Zaikang is several years older than me. When I first entered elementary school, he was studying at a hydropower college in Wuchang. Zaikang has a tall and tall figure, and his face resembles the movie star Da Shichang . His eyes are big and bright, and he looks deep and energetic. Zaikang has a slight stutter when speaking, but he likes to get to the bottom of things when talking to others. He is serious but a bit mean.
Zaikang's father's surname is Wang. He is thin and small. He works as an electrician in a work class of the water tower of the Power Supply Bureau. He is an eighth-level master and a master of technology. Zaikang's mother is obese, does housework, is taciturn, does not go out to work, and does not like to appear in public. There is an older brother above Zaikang, who is tall and stout like his mother, very different from his father, but he inherits his father's business and is also an electrician. He carries an electrician's bag on his shoulders when he goes to and from get off work every day, and he looks very proud. There are four younger sisters under Zaikang. The eldest sister is called A Cong, and the three younger sisters are named Asan, Asi and Aduo. Ah San is about the same age as me, good-looking, likes to dress up, doesn't like studying, and is not afraid of interacting with boys.
One summer night, I moved a bamboo bed to enjoy the cool air in the back alley. Unexpectedly, there was Asan lying on another bamboo bed nearby. With two bamboo beds touching each other, Asan and I whispered in the middle of the night. The next day during the day, I met Ah San again. She stared at me and smiled. Ah San's behavior was not liked by her parents, and soon she was sent back to the countryside of Ningbo . A few years later, when I was in junior high school, Ah San returned to Vianli, looking gloomy and listless. Because there were no books to read and she was bored all day long, Ah San became taciturn and dull-looking. After a while, it was said that she was excessively depressed and had mental problems.
In the porter's cabin No. 6, there lived a single man who was nicknamed "Red Nose" because his nose was always red and shaped like wine lees. Red Nose is a hair-shaving master. In addition to working in the shop, he also cuts hair for children at home when he is free. One hair at a time, you and I are happy. A few years later, Hong Nose got married, and the woman he married had a half-year-old child. I was alone and suddenly became a family of three. Look at the red noses, my face is rosy, my face is full of energy, and I am much more lively than before marriage.
In a few years, the half-grown child will grow into a teenager, with a face very similar to that of his mother and a strong body. One summer, he and a group of children from Lifen went swimming in Guanhu Lake on Xiaxia Road, Xinhua. They fell into a "robot" that was rumored to have been smashed open by the Japanese, and unfortunately drowned. When the news came, the child's mother burst into tears, and Red Nose couldn't help but feel sad and sad. After that, I went to No. 6 and saw the red-nosed couple, sitting in a hut, speechless and looking at each other.
The family named Chen lives upstairs on No. 6. There was a boy in the family with the nickname "Ling Lue". This nickname was so weird that I didn't understand it at the time and still don't know what it means. "Ling Lue"'s parents both work in the sauce garden shop. They have strong hands and feet, and they look like working people at first glance. "Linglue" always has soy sauce products in his house, and from time to time I will carry a bottle to his house to buy soy sauce and vinegar. Just like Ning Han's house downstairs, there are also jars of good wine covered with it. If there are neighbors who like wine, his father will use a bamboo "gouzi" to bring them a few gou.
"Ling Lue" studied at the same level as me. Because he was the eldest in the family, his younger brothers and sisters were all impressed by him. When he gave orders, they all bowed their heads and did not dare to say anything. Before going to the mountains and countryside , the army was recruiting soldiers. "Ling Lue" was lucky enough to join the army and escaped the disaster of being an educated youth. Two years later, "Ling Lue" went home to visit relatives and wore a gray military uniform, only to find out that he was in the navy. While chatting with us, "Ling Lue" kept saying "our army", and he was talking about the bent-pipe Hamp, which made us want to laugh but not laugh.
Minsheng Dessert House on Minsheng Road
The man from another restaurant upstairs is named Li Kaihua. He has cloudy eyebrows and strong body. He opens a small shop selling " Barbeque " by himself at the intersection of the wall alley in Wei'anli leading to Minsheng Road. It specializes in spiced braised pig head meat, pig tail, pig nose, pig leg intestines, and pig ears. On hot summer days, it is common to see Li Kaihua shirtless and walking silently in the alleys with a machete in hand. Those who don't know will be frightened when they see him.
The small shop calls itself "Houshengli Restaurant" and is actually a branch of the cooperative "Houshengli Joint Venture Group". The reason why the small shop is famous and attracts many diners is because Li Kaihua's authentic "Shandong cuisine" is prepared. In those years, every night, the small shops in the alleys were bustling with lights, full of diners, and filled with people. It was a rare sight.
Li Kaihua usually dresses in a unique and weird way, which is very different from the residents in Lifen. In summer, he wears a Xiangyun gauze black short shirt and a wide belt with a copper buckle, looking like a man from the Republic of China. There are rumors in the community that Xu San and Ma San, the former gang leaders who lived in seclusion in the welfare hall, would nod and kowtow when they saw Li Kaihua, and they were polite and "obedient" to their subordinates. actually. Although Li Kaihua was born powerful and dressed in old-fashioned clothes, he had lived in Weianli for many years and never had any disputes with his neighbors, and he almost never had a few quarrels.
Li Kaihua has a daughter and two sons. The eldest daughter's nickname is Yaya. Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Li Kaihua's, and her bones are also strong. When interacting with others, she speaks in a high-pitched voice, which is both boyish and fatherly. The two sons were actually adopted and named Da'an and Xiao'an. Da'an has a round face and is honest, and Xiao'an has a pointed cheek. Li Kaihua's wife is also the follow-up. She is neither Yaya's biological mother nor Da'an Xiao'an's biological mother. There are five members of the family who love each other on weekdays, but their blood comes from all directions.
In the back room upstairs at No. 6, there lived a lonely old lady who was also from Xiajiang, Ningbo. People in the neighborhood called her "Aniang". Coincidentally, 4 of the 6 families in No. 6 in Vianli came from "Xiajiang" in Ningbo, and they are all from the same hometown as our Uncle Zhang in No. 7.
I recently read the new book "Ningbo People in Wuhan" and I learned that since the Second Opium War Hankou became a treaty port, more and more Ningbo people came to Han to do business, and they gradually grew into an important Ningbo gang in Hankou's commercial activities. So far, there are still 100,000 Ningbo people living in Han, and there are countless celebrities and elites emerging one after another.
On a Qingming festival more than ten years ago, I went to Wuchang Funeral Parlor Cemetery to pay my respects to my father, and met the family of Zaikang, a neighbor at No. 6 in Vianli. They told me that Zaikang had been deceased for many years and that his grave was in this cemetery. After hearing this, my eyes were full of golden flowers, and I was inexplicably sad. The image of the young Zaikang with double eyelids and big eyes that looked very much like Da Shichang flashed in my mind.
