Chapter 8 Section 8

Yu Huaqing, the formidable character of the He family, missed a series of important events.After the new year, she traveled to Southeast Asia, visited several countries, and finally stayed in Phuket, Thailand for a long time.According to her words, if you have two money in your hand, you have to spend it for yourself. If you don’t live or die, you don’t take it away. At such an age, there is no point in saving it in the bank. Remember, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and no one can die without them. The free traveler came back happily, full of bags, crocodile belts, purses, wallets, and a lot of exotic things, for his son, daughter-in-law, sister, brother-in-law, nephew, and niece. share.

After entering the door, after distributing the gifts, I realized that a major event had happened at my sister's house. Before I could finish listening carefully, I was furious: "Oh, I gave that small building to my daughter and son-in-law without even knocking! Know now How much is the market value? Land prices and housing prices are jumping up every day, and you can’t give away anything as a house! This daughter is not an outsider, but the son-in-law is an outsider! Now it’s a big deal who owns the house. If you don’t come out, you deserve to be a bachelor. That’s the market! No one can do anything about it. I’ve never seen you rushing to get married and take the property and pay back! What will you do if you give them? What will you do when you are old? Bow down and ask them Water to drink? Who has it better than oneself? Children have to stretch out their hands! I’m happy to give them, and you try to spend two of them? Take a step back and say, give them the smallest one, let them live, someday If you have offended you, get rid of them immediately! Only when you have something in your own hands can you have the right to speak, and if you give it to someone else, it’s a fart to talk, and who cares about you! Now who doesn’t know that a good thing is a good thing, a Are you old enough to live on a dog?!"

He Zhongtian and Yu Huaming have long been used to the arrogance of this short-tempered younger sister dictating their actions at home, and her starting point is also for their benefit.However, her rage this time made them a little at a loss as to what to do. Her words were rough and reasonable, and they sounded reasonable. Yu Huaming said: "I can't work for a few years, it's time to retire. I calculated with Lao He, and the pension is quite a lot. At that time, I will sell this house, buy a townhouse in Wenyu River, and grow vegetables. Grass. I have an old problem in the spine, and the old Chinese doctor said that it depends on it. I have been tired all my life, and I have no other ideas. I just look at the flowers and grass in my yard, and the expenses are enough."

Old He also said: "When the time comes, you will also move here and talk to your sister. There are so many people that you will not be lonely." "You don't need money to live in a villa? They give it for free? You don't eat, drink, keep a car, don't travel, don't follow relatives, friends, neighbors, weddings, weddings, weddings, weddings and big gifts? Many seemingly insignificant things add up, and you may encounter something. What about emergencies! Only when you have money in your pocket can you be at ease and calm! Don’t be afraid of trouble! You can’t give them the small building, young children don’t know how to live, there are two flowers, there are two flowers Four, they can't save any money! When something happens to you in the future, if you need money, who will you ask for it?"

Only then did Lao He slowly confide in his thoughts, saying: "A biological daughter, she is not strong enough to live. Giving her a house will make her life easier in the future. For He Jing, from her going to university to studying in the United States, Li We also spent 600,000 to 700,000 yuan inside and out, and a bowl of water should be leveled. Your sister worked hard and earned a salary, and so did I. I didn’t have much money at first, and my family life has always been considered frugal. A few years ago, I traded in stocks I made a lot of money and bought some real estate one after another. Now that the real estate has increased, it seems that I have two dollars, but they are all necessary for basic life. Now I still have two dollars in my hand, so what's the point..."

Yu Huaqing also sighed heavily, "Let's do this, transfer the house to He Lin's name, hurry up, it's also pre-marital property, so it won't be half-divided if something happens in the future. In these years, who can guarantee who? A villain and a gentleman will not suffer." It may have reminded me of a lot of sad things about my age and marriage, and my tone was a bit vicious. "However, this can be regarded as a great help to them. There is no mortgage pressure after graduation and just working. Finding a righteous father-in-law is more beneficial than having a capable father! By the way, why are you serving wine? Fighting for it Spending money? Wang Chuanzhi jumped out of a crack in the rock and has no parents—does he have no father and no mother?"

Her sister and brother-in-law sighed, "A rural woman raised five children, two of whom went to college—how much money does she have?" "That's why you and my sister are justified in posting back - hurry up and get married!" Yu Huaming turned his head and looked at his eloquent younger sister, who was merciless, "He Lin chose such a family, what can we do? We can't beat them up with a single blow, shall we? Find another one with better economic conditions." To be honest, the character may not be as good as Wang Chuanzhi. Zhong Tian and I are quite satisfied with Chuanzhi: honest, responsible, reliable, smart, and self-motivated. The wine here is mainly He Lin. The child loves beauty and has a heart for comparison. You have raised her for several years and you still don’t understand her narrow-minded and petty temper? The more you spend, the more you spend, as long as your daughter is happy. Don’t tear your face because of this. Lin has a grudge against us."

"Stinky girl, your arms are all turned out now!" After cursing, Yu Huaqing also understood her sister.Yu Huaming married and had children very late, and has been studying in school.People of this generation were delayed when they were young, and they desperately made up for it in middle age. They are nearly 30 after finishing their university studies, and they only read their master's and doctoral degrees in their 30s. They are too old to have children, they can't afford to raise them, and they don't have the time to raise them, so He Lin and He Chong, mainly He Lin, were brought up by Yu Huaqing in a handful of shit and urine since childhood.This is also the real reason why Yu Huaqing has a lot of status in her sister's house.Yu Hua### felt guilty, and the better the economic conditions became, the greater the guilt. This is also the main reason why He Lin insisted on spending a lot of money to marry Lou when she married.

Lao He is a very flexible person with a gentle temperament and doesn't argue with others. His wife's opinion is the main priority in major matters, let alone his beloved daughter, and he basically agrees with him. Different from her sister's simple and upright temperament, Yu Huaqing couldn't swallow this breath. No matter how He Lin is also his half daughter, it's not serious to take herself seriously like this.That afternoon, she rushed to the hotel to question Wang Chuanzhi's family.The people in the hotel said they checked out, and they didn't know where they went, which was depressing.

What about Wang Chuanzhi's family?It turned out that the old lady admired Tiananmen Square and Chairman Mao, so she sent her second son there early in the morning. She and the eldest son didn't know the way and turned around.When we arrived, Wang Chuanzhi explained to his elder brother and went to work. The old lady looked at the photo of Chairman Mao on the Tiananmen Gate for a long time, and looked at the moat in front of it for a long time, then strolled in the big square for a while, and finally sat on the stone steps in front of the History Museum. This location can not only rest but also look at the empty square and the magnificent Great Hall of the People opposite. Of course, you can also admire Tiananmen and Chairman Mao at any time.At noon, they ate two corn cobs casually, and the couple drank a bottle of mineral water worth three yuan, which was too expensive.They didn't have dinner until Wang Chuanzhi went to pick them up after get off work.

After dinner, the old lady still had energy. Seeing that there were no shortage of pedestrians on the street, she asked to see the "big house of her son's family" in the future.Wang Chuanzhi had no choice but to take a taxi to the North Fifth Ring Road.There was also a dispute about taking a taxi. The old lady refused to get in the car at first, thinking it was a waste of money, so she insisted on walking. "It's far away, it's not until midnight!" "I got enough sleep last night, and there is nothing important tonight, and it will be midnight until midnight, why are you in such a hurry?" "But I have to go to work tomorrow!" "Tell your brother how to get there. Let's go by ourselves. Go to sleep." "What should I do if I get lost? Beijing is such a big city, I don't worry about it." "There are a lot of people on the road. We didn't bring much money with us, so why worry? Why would someone snatch a poor old lady?" After all, the taxi driver was about to leave before coaxing the old lady into the car. By then the tenants had moved out, leaving only old furniture and a few clutter. He opened the anti-theft door and the wooden door with the key He Lin gave him, and flipped the switch. Under the bright crystal lamp, the empty and elegant hall of the villa was beyond the visitor's imagination.The house is ordinary in appearance, built of ordinary red bricks, more than 300 square meters, there are three large rooms below, two on the second floor, and two irregular rooms on the third floor, which cannot be lived in; Occasionally there are spider webs, light blue ashlar floor, and wooden stair railings. Because someone lived in it not long ago, it still exudes warmth, elegance and even some warm poetic atmosphere. "Oh, this is my son's future home!" The old lady looked straight at her eyes, "Son, will you live here from now on?" Wang Chuanzhi hummed vaguely.For some reason, this ambiguous attitude gave his family a hint: he doesn't care, he doesn't dislike him, and he has the ability to earn more money. Wang Chuanxiang's admiring and complex gaze just now became vague and casual again, pushing the doors and looking at them one by one, "Chuanzhi, let's renovate it when we have money in the future, it's damp." His mother said, "It costs two hundred thousand for this decoration?" Wang Chuanzhi: "Yes." "Where is it worth 200,000 yuan? Spread the money layer by layer, and it's also three layers. What is it worth so much? Turn around, "Will her family reach out to help the two? " "Oh...huh?" "It costs so much money to decorate, why won't her family take care of two?" Chuanzhi was a little impatient, "Because this suite has already aroused many opinions." "That's right, it costs a lot of money to build this building. The old Wang's family in our village spent 70,000 yuan the year before last to build three floors." Then he said to himself, "Our house is so far away from Beijing. It's not worth your help, and it's not worth a lot of money. Well, He Lin's family is rich and has a building, so he can afford it. It's good to live in the city. No wonder so many people want to go to the city because it's clean and convenient. The huts are all in the house, and the water will go away as soon as it is flushed, and there is no smell." Wang Chuanzhi went to the second and third floors to have a look, and when he came back, he saw his mother and brother talking at the door of the bathroom. "Mother, there are a lot of houses here, and they can live there even if they are rolling around in bed. Let's come here and enjoy the blessings for a few years." "Hey, raising Chuanzhi is worth raising. Unlike you, you can't be the master of your daughter-in-law. It makes my liver hurt all day long!" Chuanxiang laughed, "I didn't spend so much money on college!" "Hmph, here are the flowers, are you the material?!" Seeing the biography came down, "Son, where do you want to decorate? They are all pretty good." Chuanzhi pointed to the bottom, left and right, "floor, wall." "What's wrong with this floor? It's light green, why spend money to re-lay it?" "He Lin thinks it's old." "The old ones are trampled on and have ashes on them. Can it be old? Chuanxiang, bring a bucket of water and the tattered clothes in the room. Chuanzhi, go and buy a pack of washing powder. Seeing people mopping the floor every day, the floor can be used as a mirror because of their diligence!" The second child was unwilling to go, and was severely scolded by his mother to go away. The old lady is very capable, half squatting on the ground, waving a torn fleece, starting from the aisle, wiping off the surface dust, and then wiping it again with washing powder water, almost waiting for the washing powder to take effect, and then rubbing vigorously, Almost rubbed the floor off.Then the eldest son dipped a mop in enough water and mopped it twice to remove the washing powder, revealing the fresh and tender pink-green floor. "What's the use of changing it, put in some effort, it's still not as good as new!" The old lady was not too tired, she rubbed the fleece until it looked like twisted strips, and ordered the eldest son to keep carrying water and mopping foam. The boss said: "Why don't you let the second brother do it?" "He has been working all day and is very tired. You live in the square all day and have nothing to do, and you are tired of carrying a bucket of water at night? If you have money, you will pay for it, if you have no money, you will not be able to sleep. " The mother has always been so vigorous and resolute, saying what she has to say, not beating around the bush, and not using metaphors, and she is full of rough and wordless love for her grown-up children like a child. Looking at the figure of his mother toiling under the light, Wang Chuanzhi at the other end of the aisle had mixed feelings. An old man who is nearly 60 years old. Although different families perform different lives, the love of parents for their children is the same, and they are all 100%. . "Go back, I'll find someone to clean it another day." "You have to spend money to find someone, why don't you be lazy if you can do it yourself? "When are you going to wash?" "Don't worry about us until you're tired. You have to go to work tomorrow, so go back. You'll get paid for every day you work, and your wages will be deducted for one day less. It's hard to earn some money now. Son, you have to work hard, we have to Make money!" It was almost eleven o'clock, Chuanzhi left five hundred yuan for his brother, and there was a small hotel nearby.He himself had to leave first. The next day, he went to work as normal and worked hard all morning. It was time for lunch when Chuanzhi suddenly remembered, hurriedly took a taxi and rushed to the front of the small building.Pushing open the heavy anti-theft door, he couldn't believe his eyes. The floor in the whole house was wiped spotless, revealing a pink and tender light green, like the small buds on the trees outside, clean as new, The sun shines in through the windows, brightly framing the fine patterns of gravel.The entire living room and corridors, all the sundries disappeared, the old tables and chairs were wiped clean, put them in an orderly manner, the occasional cobwebs on the walls were also swept away, the kitchen, the bathroom, the dirt of many years... the old house was replaced General new look. Chuanzhi ran to the second floor, and the wooden floor was wiped spotless. Like the first floor, there were traces of wiping around every corner, and even the wrought iron railings under the handrails of the stairs were also clean. Chuanzhi ran downstairs, opened doors one by one, and finally found his family in the innermost room with a bed—the old lady fell asleep sitting on the bedside leaning against the wall, and the eldest brother lay on the other side with his legs curled up. , snoring a lot; under the bed is an empty white foam lunch box, the kind that costs five yuan on the side of the road... Wang Chuanzhi's tears are rolling in his eyes, a seven-foot man!The couple stayed up all night last night and cleaned up the whole building.Chuanzhi walked over gently, sat down on the edge of the bed, his mind was blank. I don't know how long it has been. "Son, are you back?" The old lady opened her eyes, "Have you eaten yet?" Chuanzhi choked with sobs and nodded, "Why did you finish the work?" "If you have money, you can pay for it, but if you don't have money, you can pay for it. It's not worth it to do some work. It's still possible to do it now. As long as He Lin's family doesn't dislike us, it will be considered a high profile." The son suddenly found a bruise on the left forehead of his mother, "Are you hurt?" "In the hut, the laundry powder on the floor was slippery, and I didn't hold it hard enough, so I knocked it. Alas, I'm getting old, it's useless, and my waist hurts when I do some work. If it was ten years earlier, this work is nothing. Catch it!" "Eh———" Chuanxiang stretched his waist beside him and shouted, "Big toe hurts!" Chuanzhi saw a tattered piece of cloth wrapped around his big toe, "What's wrong?" "Yes! He's cheap! I have to kick the steps properly, I'm so tired!" Chuanzhi smiled and looked at his younger brother, "It's all for you!" Chuanzhi couldn't express his guilt. After all, it was his family, so he didn't care about it. "Why don't you go back to the hotel?" "I thought the manager of the hotel would be free if he had a friendship with He Lin's father, but they still need money! It's so expensive to come here to increase the burden on others, it's so expensive, it's so frustrating, how can I sleep!" the old lady said to the early spring. Sunshine cleared his throat, "Don't talk too much, go to work quickly, don't delay work, the leader won't be able to find you if you turn around... Work is important!" "What are you going to do?" "We're going home today, we've settled down here, and there's nothing else to do. Give us some more money and let the expensive car take us to the train station. We're tired and can't walk anymore, so we can also enjoy a ride in the car." Come back." The eldest son laughed, "Didn't you enjoy last night?" "Last night, I was only afraid of how much it would cost, so I didn't care about it." Then he directed the eldest son, "Stop lying down, wash up, carry the bag away, go to sleep on the train, and you'll be home after a night of sleep." Chuanzhi trotted to the ATM of the nearby supermarket to withdraw a thousand dollars, bought some Band-Aids and some candied fruit, and ran back. "This is a special product of Beijing!" The old lady looked at the preserved fruit with green eyes, "Everyone knows that I have come to Beijing to see my son, so bring it back and let them all have a taste of this sun-dried fruit in Beijing!" That afternoon, the old lady and her eldest son sat empty in the waiting room of Beijing Railway Station for several hours, and left by train at night, with hard seats.
