Chapter 4 fourth quarter

Two years ago, her mother, Zhang Jinfang, formally proposed to Duanwu that they would move from Meicheng to Hepu.She wants her grandson Ruoruo to grow up in her sight.The mother mentioned them, besides Zhang Jinfang himself, there is also a nanny Xiao Wei from Anhui.When Duan Wu tried to discuss this matter with his wife, Pang Jiayu flatly refused without thinking: "Don't even think about it! Let her die as soon as possible." That's what Jiayu said at the time. The Dragon Boat Festival can only persuade the mother to "take it easy".Although Zhang Jinfang is far away in Meicheng, she can imagine what kind of joints are hidden behind the three words "Hua Yi Huan" when she closes her eyes.She knew that "that cunt" was at work again.She is not in a hurry.She has a lot of ancestral secret recipes for repairing her daughter-in-law.With one or two insidious tricks, Pang Jiayu soon became overwhelmed.

"How about we buy another commercial house for them to live in?" Jiayu finally took a step back and offered her compromise plan, "The houses in Nanjing, Shanghai, and even Suzhou are going crazy. There is no movement yet. Even from the perspective of investment, it is a good time. What do you think?" And so it settled down.Going to the bank to apply for a mortgage, as well as the subsequent renovations, were all handled by Pang Jiayu.She knew that the Dragon Boat Festival could not be counted on.In her words, Duan Wu struggled with all her strength, just to make herself a useless person, a failed person.This is what she said when she was in a better mood.When she is not in a good mood, her words often appear in the form of rhetorical questions, such as:

"Are you just willing to rot like this day by day? Like Old Feng? Huh?" The old Feng she mentioned was the person in charge of the local chronicles office where Duan Wu worked.He is a widower, a bit of a clean freak, and he loves Zhuangzi and orchids.He has a famous saying: You must first become a useless person before you can finally become yourself.The sentence pattern is imitating Marx, and the old tune of "a gentleman is not a weapon" is still played. Contrary to Tan Duanwu, Jiayu strives for perfection in everything.She is like a fully wound machine, running non-stop.During the day, she was busy with the daily affairs of the law firm, busy with investigations, evidence collection and court appearances. At night, she devoted all her energy to tossing her son.She forced her son to memorize "Shangshu" and "Book of Rites", but turned a blind eye to the obvious signs of autism in her son.She taught herself Olympiad, Chinese number and probability, and then came back to teach him.She is often violent.The broken bowls and dishes have caught up with the daily consumption of top bowl acrobatic training.Her credo in life is: Never miss a step.

The real estate selected by Jiayu is located at the foot of Beigu Mountain in the western suburbs.Jiayu is very satisfied with the name "Downing Bay" because it evolved from the English word Downing.Besides, she liked England for no good reason.Although she has never been there so far, she has begun to frequently browse the official websites of British universities, hesitating whether to send her son to Cambridge or Oxford in the future. The new house is a ground floor unit with a garden.There is no "poor poor returnee household" that Jiayu hates.There are no chemical plants and waste incineration stations within five kilometers around.The residents upstairs are surnamed Bai, and they belong to a family of intellectuals.He doesn't raise a dog and doesn't play mahjong. It is said that his son still works in CCTV, but unfortunately his name is not Bai Yansong.

Fortunately, everything is satisfactory. However, when the renovation of the new house was finished and the husband and wife were ready to take the old lady to live in Hepu, Zhang Jinfang coldly asked them to "wait a little longer".Her reasons are reasonable and irrefutable: formaldehyde, xylene and other radioactive substances are hidden in the decoration materials and new furniture, and the half-life is as long as seven years. Let’s talk about it.” Those complicated chemical terms and technical terms came out of the mother’s mouth effortlessly, causing the husband and wife to look at each other in blank dismay.It seems that when my mother hides in the dark and musty bedroom all day long, holding the remote control and controlling the screen of the 25-inch TV, she is actually controlling the whole world.

It was the eve of Jiayu's study in Beijing.Before leaving, Jiayu thought it would be a pity to keep the house empty, so she told her husband that it would be better to rent it out first.One month's rent is calculated as 2,500, which is 30,000 a year.Duan Wu compared his pitiful salary with the expected rent, and did not have any confidence to refute his wife's suggestion. "Leave this to me." He took the initiative to undertake this important task.On the second day after my wife left, I wandered aimlessly around Beigu Mountain. He also found a company that rents and sells houses called "Niju".It's on the edge of Downing Bay Community.Simple prefabricated house, white wall panels, blue roof.A few young people were eating melon seeds and playing poker inside.The salesman who received him was a girl, who affectionately called Duan Wu "Brother Tan".He liked her little canine teeth, her ambiguous and charming smile, and soon signed a rental contract with them.Sure enough, the monthly rent is 2,500 yuan, paid every three months.

When he finished the formalities and returned home, with his legs resting on the coffee table, enjoying Beethoven's late quartet comfortably, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten the real estate certificate in the company.Little Huya took it to copy and forgot to return it to him.Seeing that it was still early, he planned to go back to pick it up after listening to Beethoven's 131 in C-sharp minor.During this period, he received three calls, two of which were from scammers, and the other from his colleague Xiao Shi.Xiao Shi knew that his wife was not there, and her easy and harmless flirtations, slanted sideways, were endless.

When he remembered the real estate certificate again, it was already three weeks later. He went to the dentist to have his wisdom teeth extracted.On the way home, before the anesthetic wears off, he asked the taxi driver to take a detour to the Downing Bay community, intending to get back his real estate certificate.Keyiju Company suddenly disappeared.The simple house with white walls and blue roof has long since disappeared.The place where the prefab house was originally located has now become a newly repaired green space.A gray-haired old man, holding a rubber hose, is watering the newly laid turf.It seems that social development is too fast and too efficient, which is not always a good thing.

At that time, Tan Duanwu did not realize how serious the problem was.Holding his sore cheek, he came to his new house in District B of Downing Bay, and found that his key could no longer be inserted into the lock hole on the door.He rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered.He had to go around to the south side of the unit building, peeking inside through the rose bushes in the garden. In the garden of my own home, the knee-deep thatch has been neatly cut.A dark green sun umbrella was erected in the center of the garden, and a woman wearing sunglasses was sitting on a wooden chair under the umbrella.She is on the phone.

Duan Wu was taken aback, subconsciously ducked down, and hid behind the neighbor's rose bushes, as if he had done something shameful. He did not immediately tell Pang Jiayu who was far away in Beijing, but first asked his friend Xu Jishi, who was the director of the news department of the Hepu Evening News, for help.Jishi told him not to panic.He quickly checked on the computer, and quickly called back to say that there was indeed a house rental and sales agency company called Yiju in Hepu, but no one answered the two calls.The company's headquarters is at No. 2 Modao Lane. "There is nothing to worry about." Jishi comforted him, "You rented the house to an intermediary company, and the company rented the house to someone else. This is normal. I don't think there is any problem."

"But I don't feel very good." Duan Wu said.He added that in this day and age, it is an iron law that bad feelings will always be fulfilled. Kishina felt helpless. In the evening, the two rushed to Modao Lane impatiently, just in time to meet the demolition households who were causing trouble.The whole family was doused with gasoline and threatened to set themselves on fire.A large number of policemen set up a security line at the entrance of the alley, and they couldn't get in at all.According to Xu Jishi's analysis, since the entire alley is being demolished, Yiju Company will naturally not be able to work normally.They decided to return to the Downing Bay community and ask the renter about the situation first. They waited at the door for two hours, blocking the hostess who was coming home from get off work.The woman was a tall woman who got out of a modern "Sonata" sedan, with a fake LV Kun bag on her arm.Her attitude was very arrogant, and she didn't like to talk to them at all.She said the house was legally rented by her from "a certain company" with a formal contract.She paid two years' rent in advance. two years.She spoke clearly. Xu Jishi asked her in a low voice, if he could sit at home for a while and communicate with each other, the woman asked back, "But why should I let you into the house? The social security is so chaotic now, I know who you are?" Jishi had already taken out his business card and handed it to her respectfully.The woman didn't even look at her, with disgust and disdain in her eyes.So, Xu Jishi, who had become a little distraught at the moment, asked her "your surname" and where she went to work with a straight face. The woman suddenly took off her sunglasses, and Xu Jishi, who had already bald her hair and looked rather wretched, looked at her for a long while. Said to him in pure northern dialect: "What the hell kind of onion are you? What kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be?" While Xu Jishi was trembling with fright and was in a daze for a while, the woman had already entered the room, and the door slammed into it with a "bang". Next to the Downing Bay community, there is a small restaurant opened by Yangzhou natives.dirty.They had dinner there.The sound of foam breaking as the beer poured out of the glass.Ji Shi said that the girl looked a bit like Sun Li, but unfortunately she had a few more freckles on her face.Duan Wu didn't know who Sun Li was at all, but he knew that Ji Shi drank too much.Ji Shi asked him again if he noticed that her hips were big but her waist was very thin.The more he talked, the more obscene and obscene.He likes women with freckles.He said his biggest regret so far is not having slept with a woman with freckles. After get off work the next day, Duanwu came to No. 2 Modao Lane again.Half of the old building where Yiju Company is located has been demolished.The black rafters are exposed, like the ribs under an X-ray.
