Chapter 3 (3)

"I want to buy a house." This was the first sentence Haiping said to her husband that night after everything was packed.She waved to Su Chun: "Don't persuade me or ask me. I've already made up my mind, you just have to do what I tell you. I've thought through this whole journey. Buying a two-bedroom, one-living-room house shouldn't be too much. Remote, the price is about 800,000, 20% of the down payment is 160,000. Our deposit plus provident fund is 80,000, and we need to borrow 80,000. Your task is to ask your parents for money. No matter what, you have to borrow 40,000, and the remaining 40,000 10,000, my parents get 20,000. Don’t worry, I’m not asking them to pay less money, but I won’t give them the money to foster their son in the future. You know how expensive it is to raise a child now. The other 20,000, I’ll marry Seaweed Use the money first. Let her wait until she gets married. In this way, we have the down payment. As soon as the money arrives, we will go to see the house and settle this matter as soon as possible."

Su Chun never raised objections directly.Haiping is a donkey with smooth feathers. If he gets angry, he will basically commit crimes against the wind. "The problem is, buying a house is not as simple as you think. Don't you decorate? Don't you buy furniture? The down payment is only a small part of the house. The loan plus other miscellaneous things must exceed our solvency. Isn't it too aggressive? ?” "Our problem is not that we are too aggressive, but that we are too conservative. If we had settled the house a few years ago, we would have been sleeping on the fruits of victory. Everything will be there, but the key is that we have to have a house first. .Once we have a house, other issues will be much easier to deal with!”

Su Chun scratched his head: "But, how can I tell my mother about money? You also know the situation in my family. People in small places have low wages, so how difficult it is to save some money! I have to pay for my mentally ill uncle. I despise the 'chewing old people', I didn't expect that one day I would fall to this point." Haiping was moved with emotion and reasoned: "Who doesn't eat the old now? If we don't eat them, the society will eat us. This house is going up! Have you ever seen this kind of way? A frog climbs a well and gets three It’s two feet back! The house price only goes up but not down. You tell your mother, take out all the money she can get, don’t be afraid, I will support her when she gets old.”

"Did you make a mistake? How can I tell my mother? 'I will support you when you get old', isn't that right? I raise her to repay her for raising me before, not to pay back what she bought for me now. House debt." Haiping became angry: "When I argued with you, you didn't respond. You should raise your mother, shouldn't you raise your wife and children? Your mother raised you for 22 years, and I want to live with you until 80 years old. If you live longer, I will serve you to eat and drink when you are 90 years old. Who will serve you for a long time? Your mother is responsible for raising you. Did she discuss it with you when she gave birth to you? I married you because you begged me Come! You have to be grateful! Besides, your mother raised you, but not me. She only invested 40,000 yuan in my house, but bought a lifetime insurance. Even if you buy life insurance, the return is not so high Rate? I won’t argue with you anymore, you should hurry up and ask for money.”

Su Chun didn't speak, and went downstairs to wash up. At night, the two lay in bed.Su Chun's hand moved back and forth on Haiping's body: "It's been a long time since you mentioned the house, why did you suddenly decide?" Haiping looked at the slanted wooden pile on the roof: "Son, my son doesn't recognize me anymore At night, when I turned over and saw me lying beside him, I would burst into tears and call him grandma. To him, I was no different from the aunt on the street. If I didn’t pick him up again, I would give birth to him in vain. He was in I kept it in my belly for 10 months, and I was stabbed for him. I got mastitis from breastfeeding, and my hands were so swollen that I couldn’t put it down. I sent money to my hometown every month when I was paid. I suffered a lot for him. But he doesn’t kiss me and treats me like an outsider. This is not the life I want. I want to take him by my side while his memory is still not complete, love him, kiss him, educate him, and make him feel I'm the one who loves him the most in the world."

Haiping wept, tilted her head, dripped tears on her husband's arm, and then buried her head in Su Chun's armpit. Su Chun stroked his wife's back and stopped talking.
