An extraordinary life journey through old Beijing courtyard houses

The deaf old woman leaned towards Jiang Baobin and asked with concern:

"Child, how are you feeling?"

……

Seeing that Jiang Baobin was still in a daze and didn't react for a long time, the middle-aged woman impatiently started scolding him:

"You three! Are you deaf? Grandma Lu is talking to you!"

I was actually saved by a deaf old lady! How is that possible?

This thought had completely filled Jiang Baobin's mind! He had no mind to greet the guests.

This guy's brain is racing: Could it be that I can travel into the world of movies and TV shows? Or is "Full of Love" based on a true story?

That's not right. Even if it's an adaptation, the actors can't possibly look exactly like the original characters.

This old lady is so recognizable!

"Full of Love" is definitely a "divine drama" that subverts the public's values, and many people watch it while criticizing it.

It was also Jiang Baobin's grandmother's favorite (before she became confused).

So much so that during winter and summer vacations, Jiang Baobin watched it several times with him.

I was particularly impressed by the deaf old lady in the play, because my grandmother and she looked somewhat alike, so I especially liked that character.

"Slap!" Unable to bear it any longer, the original owner's mother slapped Jiang Baobin on the back of the head, who was filled with shock and memories, finally waking him up.

"Call her Grandma Lu! What are you standing there for?"

It's Grandma Lu, not the deaf old lady.

Jiang Baobin breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew it! How could something as absurd as traveling into a movie or TV series happen?"

"Don't hit him, the child isn't feeling well."

Grandma Lu even offered a defense for Jiang Baobin, then grinned at him...

A thunderous boom resounded in Jiang Baobin's mind—

Based on that signature smile alone, Jiang Baobin would bet ten thousand yuan that the person in front of him was definitely a deaf old lady!

Moreover, the pronunciations of "Grandma Lu" and "Grandma Deaf" are quite similar.

The original owner's mother said with a beaming smile, "Our family of three owes so much to you."

"Otherwise, today might have been over. You're truly a lifesaver!"

"When his dad comes back from packing up his stall, I'll have him go over and thank you, sir."

The deaf old lady was very happy: "No need for thanks, it's just a matter of saying hello."

"Besides, this child and I are destined to meet, and it's even helped me accumulate good karma."

As she spoke, the old lady gently patted Jiang Baobin and said kindly:

"Little Jiang, take good care of yourself. Grandma will come to see you again tomorrow."

Seeing the deaf old lady get up, the original owner's mother said, "Are you leaving already? Why don't you come to my room for a drink of water?"

The deaf old woman waved her hand, "Where isn't there water to drink? Jiang family, let the child rest for a few days."

"Don't force him to go out and do business; this sweltering heat can be deadly."

Only after the original owner's mother reluctantly agreed did the deaf old lady walk out.

Because the old lady pleaded for him like that, Jiang Baobin decided that he would buy her more meat to repay her.

Although the old lady had bound feet, she was not particularly old, so she walked quite slowly.

The original owner's mother's smile remained unchanged, but as she was leaving, she turned back and glared fiercely at Jiang Baobin!

This is because they are dissatisfied with his performance just now.

Jiang Baobin said: I can't help it, this is the persona I've created for myself now - stupid and amnesiac.

The youngest sister, who was at the very back, glanced at Jiang Baobin worriedly, but dared not say anything more, and hurriedly followed.

Jiang Baobin didn't care about anything else. He struggled to his feet and slowly moved to the doorway.

He needed to find out exactly what was going on, otherwise he wouldn't feel confident.

Once outside, they realized they were in the easternmost, back-facing room.

This location is usually reserved for private schools in wealthy families.

The door faces the east wing of the house, no wonder the room is so dark.

He turned around the courtyard and peeked inside, but soon retreated.

No need to look any further, it's already confirmed, because he saw a younger version of "Second Auntie".

Good heavens! Those upturned nostrils and broom-shaped eyebrows are simply unparalleled.

With her and a deaf old lady, this is undoubtedly the world of "Full of Love".

Lying back down on the small bed, Jiang Baobin was still completely baffled—

How could I have transmigrated into the world of a TV series? This doesn't make sense!

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps came running.

"Mom's gone to the outhouse, Third Brother, eat up!"

Looking at the half-full bowl of steaming cornmeal porridge, Jiang Baobin almost rolled his eyes—

If I were to drink that, my esophagus would be scalded!

Then I heard my younger sister say with a grin, "I secretly boiled an egg for you, it's inside."

"If Mom finds one is missing, she'll just assume my sister-in-law secretly gave it to Hongsheng."

Seeing that he was not moving for a long time, the younger sister couldn't wait any longer. After searching around, she finally took out a large, rough porcelain bowl with a chipped rim from under the bed.

He poured the porridge, along with the egg hidden underneath, into the pot and then hurriedly ran away.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to remind him, "Don't let Mom see the eggshells!"

Seeing her anxious and flustered state, Jiang Baobin couldn't bring himself to ask her anything.

The younger sister ran back to the east wing, scooped half a ladle of water into an empty bowl, washed it, poured the water into the porridge pot, and then stirred it vigorously.

In just a short while, the original owner's mother returned.

Suddenly, she had a feeling that a hundred million was missing. She looked at her seemingly nonchalant daughter suspiciously for a long time.

He checked the porridge in the pot again, but found nothing unusual, before going inside.

The young woman patted her chest and gave a "I've won big" smile.

A room with a reversed seating arrangement.

What is the most honest thing in the world? The answer is the stomach—because when you're hungry, you're hungry; when you're full, you're full.

After only drinking thin porridge for his last meal, how could Jiang Baobin not get hungry quickly?

When you're starving, even the most unpalatable food becomes a delicacy.

After finishing the porridge, I licked the bowl clean. Hmm, no need to wash it.

Jiang Baobin started lost in thought again (he hadn't done anything else all day except this):

Why did the younger sister secretly bring her a bowl of cornmeal porridge? It means that if she didn't do this, she wouldn't even have dinner.

Thinking of this, Jiang Baobin raised his arm and looked at it, and there were only two words in it—"skin stick!"

If it weren't for the fact that the original owner of this body was too weak, she wouldn't have died so easily.

After all, a living person can't just die like that.

Therefore, it seems that there is no point in staying in this home any longer.

However, before leaving home, there's one thing I need to understand, and one thing I need to accomplish...

Jiang Baobin pricked up his ears; it was getting more and more lively outside, probably because the men who went out to work were all returning.

Then, the original owner's father arrived—a thin man in his forties.

Wow! Handsome old man.

The two of them just looked at each other.

The man frowned, opening his mouth to speak, when a voice called from outside, "Dad, dinner's ready!"

He finally swallowed his words and turned away.
