Life is more than just living

Chen Zhigang said that he would give Chen Xu the house he got from the demolition, but Chen Xu was not happy. Just when she was about to say no, Grandma Liu reached out and pressed her hand, telling her to calm down and said: "I heard people say that this kind of thing is unfounded. You have to go somewhere to register." ." Chen Zhigang said: "The place you mentioned is called the Notary Office."

Chen Xu was a little uncomfortable for a while. In fact, she didn't want this house because she didn't want to accept Chen Zhigang's love at all. As soon as she wanted to speak, Grandma Liu pressed her down desperately to signal her not to speak. At this time, Grandma Chen also said, "I have no objection. I can trust Xiaoxu. Even if her name is written in the house book, she can't kick me out and leave me without a house to live in. This child has a conscience." Chen Zhihua still wants to fight for it again. After a while, "How is the division appropriate? Anyway, it's not okay for you to unite to bully me." Chen Zhigang thought for a while and said, "I also asked some sensible people before I came here. You can only get 1/6 at most. This house is only More than 40 square meters, the compensation is only more than 5 yuan, you can get up to [-] yuan, and you don't have to worry about it if it's more." Chen Zhihua retorted: "That's not right, although the compensation is small, but They were also given resettlement houses! The resettlement houses were also given according to the demolition price, and the houses were cheap. So if I just divided the money proportionally, I would suffer a loss."

Chen Xu wanted to laugh when he heard this. He could be so careless when facing people with interests. I just heard Chen Xu's grandma say: "Dahua, you have been married for 30 years, so it would be a lot to give you a little money. If nothing else, your Wang Yu didn't steal any money from me." Wan is already eight thousand, right?" When Chen Zhihua heard this, his face immediately turned purple, "No, what do you, an old lady, say? Who stole your money? How can you clean up your blood and spew nonsense?" Chen Xu said beside him , "I've seen Wang Yu take it. It's useless if you don't admit it, but it's been so long, and grandma didn't ask you to pay back the money. Are you speaking out of your conscience? Are you sure you don't know at all? Did Wang Yu steal money?" When Chen Zhigang heard this, he was also angry, "What kind of children are you educating? Why are you still learning to steal?"

Chen Zhihua was so angry that he shouted, "Stop talking nonsense here, you are slandering my son! Now that your family is venting your anger through one nostril, you treat me as an outsider, right?" Although Grandma Liu heard Grandma Chen complain about Wang Yu secretly It was a matter of money, but it was a family matter, so she didn't want to say anything, so she just watched from the sidelines. Grandma Chen said to Chen Zhihua again, "Dahua, people have to learn to be content. My money has been stolen from me over the years. I am a mute eating Coptis chinensis. I can't tell you about my sufferings. Isn't it because you can still come and see me every once in a while?" Well! I am a lonely old woman going to the garbage dump to pick up things. How easy is it to sell that little money? Let’s not argue here: you say he didn’t steal, I say he did! The past has changed. Just say Let’s talk about it this time! Dagang said I can’t argue. I heard someone else calculate it and said it could be more than 5 yuan, so I’ll give you 1 yuan. In fact, I don’t even have enough money to change my house, so I’ll give you [-] yuan. Don’t Let’s talk about other things. Just like your Aunt Liu and your brother said, let’s go to that notary office to get it notarized. Don’t make trouble in the future. Xiaoxu’s name will be written on the future house book of this house. It’s no longer your responsibility, so don’t worry about it!”

Chen Zhihua laughed angrily, "Now that you are watching Chen Xu go to work and make money, you don't take me seriously, right? You won't need me anymore!" Grandma Chen said, "Dahua, I will." I haven't dared to rely on anyone for all these years. We ladies have been mother and daughter for more than 50 years, so don't make the neighbors laugh over this little money." Chen Zhihua thought about it and finally thought about it. Talk about going home and thinking about it.

After Chen Zhigang and Chen Zhihua left, Grandma Liu pushed Chen Xu and said, "You stupid kid, I can see it. You always want to say no. You are stupid! Who has a grudge against money? Money doesn't bite the hand." Grandma Chen also said: "It's not that bad. Now you are the only one who has to take care of grandma. In the future, if grandma is gone, wouldn't it be normal to give all these things to you? Your dad has some conscience and won't argue with you, so why don't you want it?" ?" Chen Xu rubbed his brows, thinking that I am used to his shameless face, but I am not used to this.

The people who measured the house did come the next day and were divided into several groups. Finally, when it was almost dark, they finally finished measuring Chen Xu's house. Because grandma could not read, Chen Xu signed on it.

Two weeks later, the official demolition agreement for the house began. Chen Zhigang was very responsible this time and asked for help from the community. Chen Xu's name was directly written on the demolition agreement. When choosing a house, you can choose the original site to wait for demolition and construction; you can also choose an existing house in the neighborhood next to it. Since the county government moved westward, housing prices in communities there have risen, while housing prices in the east of the city have been unable to rise. But the cheaper it is, the less people will buy it. The community has been completed for several years, and there are still many existing houses that are almost unfinished. Chen Xu thought about it and felt that existing houses should still be built. No matter what, grandma is getting older, and if she waits for the off-plan house, it may not be certain when the house will be completed. In some communities in Beicheng County, some pre-planned houses are not even delivered for ten years, so Chen Xu discussed with his grandma after inspection and chose a second-floor apartment. He originally wanted to choose a first-floor apartment for his grandma, but both Grandma Liu and Zhang Yong said that the sewers on the first floor were not good. It was easy to get blocked and the lighting was not good, so grandma said we didn’t want the first floor.

Because Chen Zhihua has to pay 1 yuan, this rough house also needs to be renovated and home appliances purchased. Chen Xu donated her [-] yuan savings without hesitation. The money in her salary card has not been touched. In recent months, it may be because she has not been short of money, so she has reserved her salary for her daily use. Grandma Liu and Grandma Chen are still neighbors, and Zhang Yong also chose a house in the same unit. Chen Xu never thought about coming back to live in this house, so it didn't matter who his neighbor was.

Because it was a simple renovation, it only took one month to finish everything. Chen Xu meant to put out the formaldehyde before letting grandma move in. Unexpectedly, grandma didn’t want to spend any more money on renting a house, so she said, “What do you care about formaldehyde?” It doesn't have formaldehyde. It turns out that we are in the garbage dump and it stinks to the sky every day. We don't all come here like this. Besides, I am so old and live one day at a time, so I can't care so much." Chen Xu had no choice but to agree to his grandma moving in.

On the day of moving, both Zhang Yong and Grandma Liu came to help. When they walked in, Grandma Liu joked: "Look at our Xiaoxu's house." Chen Xu looked at the newly decorated house and felt inexplicably troubled. Although Chen Xu suddenly got a small house, he was not happy. Thinking of the past, those bad memories suddenly came flooding back.

When chatting with Liu Jingsheng, he pointedly pointed out, "Unhappiness comes from the inability to calm down."
