Chapter 4 (4)

On Sunday, Seaweed came with a load of clothes. This is an agreement between the two sisters.Meet once a week and exchange clothes between the two.In this way, the sisters don't need to buy too many clothes, and they still look full. "Sister! You need to iron that blue dress. Also, did you hand wash that ESPRIT dress last time?" Seaweed threw all the clothes on the bed.Haiping quickly put it into the closet, and hung the clothes to be replaced on the bamboo poles in front of the window one by one. "I have ironed all the clothes. You don't need to tell me. I read the brand before washing the clothes. I am much more careful than you. I hang your clothes here and take them down when I leave. The bed will be wrinkled. You mentioned it Raise your hands a bit higher, the skirt is very long, and it might drag the floor."

"Where's brother-in-law?" "He works overtime." In fact, Haiping sent her husband away before Haizao came.She was afraid that talking about money with her sister in front of Su Chun would embarrass her husband. "Seaweed, I want to discuss something with you. Eat vegetables! Eat vegetables!" Haiping put a few red shrimps into the seaweed bowl. "What's up?" "How much savings do you have on hand?" "How can I have any savings? Didn't I just find a job? I took a break for several months, and I was living on my own money. I found that in a place like Shanghai, it is more difficult to save money than going to heaven." .”

"How much? Can you take it out?" Seaweed thought about it carefully: "8000 yuan?" "With 8,000 yuan, you still want to get married next year? It will be next year in a blink of an eye! Xiaobei is not a rich man, so what do you rely on to buy a house?" "Rent it! Buy it when you have the money. Getting married is easy, isn't it just to get a certificate? Both of our families are not here, and there is no need for any ceremony." "I want to buy a house now, and I need money very much. Can you lend me the money you have, plus Beckham's money, first? I'll return it to you as soon as I save it." Haiping cut to the chase.

"How much do you want?" "At least 20,000, no limit to more." "Okay, I'll send it to you in two days. Have you seen the house yet?" "Not yet! I want to get rid of the money problem first." "Great! I have something to do again! Sister! If you want to see the house, call me, and I will go with you!" The relationship between Haizao and Haiping is that Haizao can die for Haiping.Because the life of seaweed is given by Haiping.It was an accident that seaweed appeared in this world.Based on her age, she shouldn't exist at all.At that time, my mother was pregnant with a ring, so my mother always said that the two small holes on the back of the seaweed were poked by the contraceptive ring.When my mother discovered the fact that there was seaweed, the seaweed was more than 4 months old, and Haiping was 7 years old that year.

Apparently, in the era when family planning was strictly enforced, the fate of seaweed was to be flushed down the toilet. Both mother and father said that the child should be killed.As good citizens and workers who grew up under two red banners and abided by the norms, they never thought about leaving the seaweed behind.A few days before her mother was going to the hospital, she intentionally or unintentionally asked Haiping: "Haiping! Do you think it's good to have a younger brother?" Haiping nodded happily: "Yes! I want to play with my younger brother!" "But, All your little friends don’t have younger brothers and sisters, you are the only one who has them, how shameful it is!” “If everyone doesn’t have them, then I have them, how proud I am!” Haiping regards her younger siblings as a toy to show off in her heart.The grandma next to her interjected, "Then do you want a brother or a sister?" "I want a brother!"

The old grandma started to mutter: "A child's mouth is the most accurate. She said it was a younger brother. The baby in this belly must be a boy. I think I should take it? Besides, people always grow old. In case we When you are old and dead, your children will be one by one in the future, and you will not even have a relative to help you. Who can you turn to when you encounter difficulties? I think you still have brothers and sisters in your life. Brothers and cousins ​​can only look up the dictionary." The seaweed arched in the mother's belly at the right time.This arch brought out her mother's motherhood. I thought how safe Haiping would be if she had a tall and strong younger brother to protect her! What a wonderful thing it is to have a son! It was just in time for the school holiday, and Haiping's Mom just postponed tomorrow today, and delayed the day after tomorrow.

When school starts again, the seaweed can't hide anymore. The seaweed was bought in exchange for the fact that my mother was not qualified to be evaluated as an advanced person for five years, my father's salary was reduced by two levels, and no matter how hard he worked, he would not be promoted.After sacrificing for a long time, she is still a girl.When the seaweed came out, my mother cried. Only Haiping was happy.Haiping said: "I like my younger sister! I can put pigtails on her!" Grandma booed Haiping: "It's you! When I asked you at the time, you said you liked your younger brother, but now you like your younger sister!" Haiping raised her face: " I like all of them!"

Haiping really likes her younger sister. When her mother is busy, Haiping takes care of her younger sister, gives her sister noodles, helps her with her homework, and sleeps with her at night.In the memory of seaweed, the elder sister seems to be closer than the mother. So, don't say that Haiping just asks for money, even if it's life-threatening, Haizao is willing to give it.Haizao can't figure it out when she sees brothers fighting for money on TV, but she keeps in mind the fact that her elder brother donated his kidney to his younger brother.She thought at the time: "As long as Haiping needs it, I can give it my heart."

However, Haizao is willing to give her heart to her sister, but Xiaobei is not. Haizao took the clothes and the fruits bought by Haiping back to her place of residence. This is a three-bedroom apartment shared with several other people. It is far away from the city, but it is very close to the company where Haizao works.When he came back, Xiaobei had already prepared dinner, two dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables.Xiao Bei is a colleague of Haizao's first unit. Ever since the two got married, Haizao moved out of Haiping's house and lived with Xiaobei. "Save rent." This is what Beckham joked to Seaweed. He explained why there are so many people living together now. "The rent is too expensive, so we have to share it between two people."

"My pretty little pig! This shredded pork is for you!" Xiaobei habitually throws everything he thinks is delicious into the seaweed bowl.He will be so meticulous that he will push aside the long bean sprouts, pick out all the meat stars that can't be hidden, and then transfer them to the seaweed bit by bit.Seaweed doesn't like meat, or in other words, seaweed doesn't like meat because Xiaobei likes it.Seaweed consciously doesn't like anything Xiaobei likes.The two cooperated tacitly and never had any disputes over food. They always happened to like to eat what the other didn't like, but they liked to watch movies that each other liked, and they loved to walk around the building holding hands together.If there is a dispute between the two, it must be like this:

"I told you that I don't like meat! I want to lose weight!" Seaweed threw the meat back into Xiaobei's bowl. "You want to be fatter! Why lose weight! Women want to please themselves! I love you no matter how fat you are, anyway, I am already happy, so you don't need to lose weight!" The two put the shredded pork on the chopsticks Push and push.Maybe the precious shredded meat fell to the ground.At this time, it is always Xiaobei's duty to quickly pick it up from the ground and stuff it into his mouth. "Oh! It's dirty! If you drop it, throw it away!" "Not dirty! According to medical common sense, food will not be contaminated if it is picked up within 30 seconds after it falls on the ground. It's a pity to waste it." Seaweed looked at Xiaobei's youthful face, contagious smile, and every detail of thoughtfulness, and thought, what is happiness?Happiness is the shredded meat on the chopsticks.He is happy to have you in his heart. "Hey! Xiaobei, I want to discuss something with you. How much savings do you have?" "It's more than 60,000!" "God! My husband! You are simply too great! You are like a ox in Lu Xun's works! Eating grass and milking milk! How did you save?" "Because my little pig is so good! She doesn't want to buy clothes, and doesn't want to go out to spend a lot of money. She lives with me all day, and when I think of marrying a little pig one day, it's like a divine help!" Xiao Bei stretched out. Two slaps were slapped in front of the seaweed, "Yeah!" The two clapped and cheered as if they were rehearsing, and leaned against each other very, very cheaply and bumped their butts twice.This kind of trick was designed by Xiaobei, and Haizao scolded him as "cheap" every time, but every time he cooperated very "cheaply", and slowly enjoyed it.In Xiaobei's words: "People, you get used to it." Xiaobei also suggested that the Chinese character "gradually" should be changed to "贱贱地", he said, I fell in love with you. "Xiao Bei, can you lend me the money?" "You are shameless! You are obscene! You are hateful! You are despicable!" Xiao Bei suddenly slapped his chopsticks on the table, his eyes widened angrily, and he pointed his finger on the tip of the seaweed's nose, yelling.Seaweed was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word. "What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. How can you borrow words from me? You should just say 'Xiao Bei, give me your money!' Then I prostrated myself on the ground, offering it with both hands, trembling Tremblingly, he said, 'Take it, take it all, even mine! I'm yours all my life!'" Xiao Bei suddenly smiled slyly, and put her head on the gaping eyes. On the seaweed hand, gently kiss. Seaweed was overwhelmed by surprise, shaking her body and coquettishly: "You hate it! You scared me to death! You pig head! I want you to look good!" He picked up the cup at hand, took a look, put it down, turned around and grabbed the pillow from the bed, and covered his head and face Throw it at Xiaobei, and the two of them rolled into a ball. The algae forgot what they were going to say. Su Chun walked into the door discouraged.Haiping was cooking in the public kitchen. Seeing that her husband didn't say a word, he went straight up to the third floor without bowing his head when he greeted him. He quickly finished frying the dishes suspiciously, turned off the fire and followed them upstairs with the dishes. "Why do you look unhappy? Did you talk to your mother about the money?" Haiping looked at her husband's face.Su Chun nodded. "What did she say?" "She didn't speak." "It's over? You just hung up? You have to call at work. If you call at home, isn't that a waste of phone bills? I'll ask tomorrow. I must get it! I've agreed with the seaweed. I'll give it to you tonight. My mom is calling." "Haiping, it's really hard for me to open my mouth. It's not easy for the elderly to save some money. You have to know what kind of life our parents lived in. When we were young, we had to support the elderly and the young, and it was hard to send the old ones away. I don’t feel well for a day, and the younger ones still have to shave. Is this fair for their life? If it was in their time, we should pay the old people now. They don’t want us to bear it, it’s already good. We, us……" "Put away your guilt! It's not just about scraping your parents. Don't I also use a knife and awl here? You call it a quick knife to pull the meat. It only hurts. On my side, I cut a piece every month. I'm sorry. My parents are much more ruthless than your parents. In addition to the drastic cuts, they also have to cut the water. My parents are worse than your parents. What did I say? Ordinarily, your family should marry a daughter-in-law, house, car and so on. Is your family going out? Now that my son is out, I don't care about it. At least it's just once, you go quickly."
