In the early 90s, most of the small cities were self-built houses, and the neighbors lived very close, the houses were row by row, and the left and right were almost all next to the wall, and the distance between the front and back was less than 10 meters, similar to the feeling of a small alley.
My house is right in the middle of the alley, so there are neighbors living left and right. I still remember that I often played with my neighbors and often visited each other' doors, so I was familiar with the situation of my neighbors nearby.
The left aunt Wang's home conditions are not bad, and the man has a stable and decent job.
The neighbor on the right, the husband and wife are doing some small business on the street, the family has a nanny, and the life is quite good.
Only Mr. Zhang's family on the left side of the back row had a particularly shabby life.
Looking back now, I understand the cause and effect.
Aunt Wang on the left is particularly diligent and sweet-mouthed on weekdays, speaking softly and softly, cleaning and arranging the clean and bright hall of the home, and it is also one of the places I patronized the most when I was a child. What's even more rare is that the couple almost never quarrels together.
The couple on the right who do business, because they leave early and return late, the family has a nanny and children on weekdays, and the overall atmosphere is quiet and harmonious.
And Mr. Zhang's family is a completely different look, since I can remember, I have hardly ever entered the door of their home, although it is close, and their children play ok, but I just don't want to go to their house to play.
Because between Mr. Zhang and his wife, almost three days a small quarrel, five days a big quarrel, there is nothing to do like to do verbal battles, occasionally also hands (fortunately, every time they move, the neighbors have come to tear it open, did not cause any serious physical harm).
In my memory, how many years they have been neighbors, how many years Mr. Zhang and his wife have quarreled, and it should be more than 10 years! Mr. Zhang's wife made a particularly loud noise every time she quarreled, and the house at that time was basically not very soundproof, so the content of their quarrels was almost clearly heard by their neighbors.
At first, there were still people to persuade the fight, and later because the noise was too frequent, it was also some trivial matters in life, and no one went to persuade them. But the neighbors around them are very shy about their families, they can not meet without meeting, they have to meet at most to say hello, and then hurried away, unwilling to say more than half a sentence.
In fact, their family was the poorest family at that time, Mr. Zhang had no job, and he needed to go far to the mountains every day to collect firewood and sell it on the street. Not to mention the hard work, at that time, a load of firewood could not sell for much money.
The women grow a la carte and carry a basket of vegetables to sell on the street every day, with a low and unstable income. In short, their family often worries about three meals a day, but the strange thing is that the days have become like this, and they still like to argue when they meet.
Perhaps living in the shadow of parental quarrels since childhood, their daughters married far away from the province at the age of 18 and rarely returned. Their son had poor academic performance, did not read after junior high school, and then followed his father up the mountain to cut firewood.
Later, because of the municipal planning and the demolition of the house, I was separated from my neighbors and had little contact.
The last time I met Mr. Zhang's son on the street and asked him about his recent situation, I found that my mother died of throat cancer 3 years ago. His father had suffered a stroke because of a quarrel, and he was half-dead, for almost 10 years. He himself is still in his 40s, drives a taxi to support his family, and has not yet married his daughter-in-law.
