all the way

Liu Xia went out for about ten minutes, and when he came back he was very happy: "Aunt Wang and her unit have just finished a meeting, and the house has been divided, and she is going to the one we like. The second floor, [-] square meters, we We need to pay another [-], and all must be paid before the last day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Aunt Wang asked us to prepare the money, and the sooner we pay, the better."

"Oh-ho, the little cowards have a new house to live in--" the cat cheered and got up: "Uncle, let's go get the money now?"

Liu Xia threw down his down jacket and got into the bed, and dragged the cat down too: "Don't worry, let's get a warm sleep first, and then we can discuss it. Last year's general salary adjustment, and half a year's salary, I probably figured it out. Your third uncle should have about 3000 yuan in his hand now, let him take all the family property over in a while, and let's go to see the house with him to make your third uncle happy."

The cat nodded: "OK!"

Liu Xia straightened his legs and sighed: "Grandma, it's only been a little over a year, and the salary has increased by just a little bit, and the house has cost thousands of dollars. Your third uncle's apartment is not as big as ours, but the money is worth two of ours." .”

The cat said: "Yes, so you bought this suite for Uncle San, and it will definitely be more expensive in the future."

Liu Xia made a heartbroken expression: "But my lovely renminbi! Why is the Land Bureau so fucking black? It's just a pile of broken bricks, so a small piece costs one hundred and fifty!"

Liu Xia had forgotten that the reason why his house was so cheap was that their house was built in the compound of their own unit, there was no land money, and the hydrology team had money, with a lot of subsidies.

However, it is true that the house has become more expensive this year.

Mao'er stroked his chest to comfort him: "It's okay, uncle, just wait another two and a half years, and I'll earn money for you as soon as I go to college, and there will be more and more RMB in our passbook."

Liu Xia turned over and put his arms around the cat: "Good cat!"

Buying a house is a big deal. Liu Xia thought a lot about it. He felt that if he paid all the rent by himself, with Liu Chuan's personality, he would probably feel guilty and ashamed for the rest of his life, and if others knew that Liu Xia paid all the rent Well, maybe someone will say that Liu Chuan has no skills. Although he looks like a strange house, in fact, he doesn't have any money, and he got it all by hanging up with his brothers in the family;

If Liu Chuan was allowed to take some money, no matter how little, Liu Chuan would be much more relaxed psychologically. When someone really asked, Liu Chuan said that he bought the house by himself, and his brothers helped raise the money. Outsiders have nothing to say, the key is that Liu Chuan himself will Relatively feel at ease.

Liu Xia didn’t tell Liu Chuan when he paid the first installment of the house payment. At that time, the salary of the general transfer had not been supplemented. For Su Xiaozhi’s marriage, Su Xiaohui took another 1000 yuan back to her natal family. Liu Xia estimated that Liu Chuan and Su Xiaohui were probably [-] yuan. Both, if he talks about buying a house, it will bring great pressure to Liu Chuan and Su Xiaohui, and there will be no benefit at all.

Liu Xia and Mao'er slept until three o'clock, and when they got up together, Liu Xia called Liu Chuan and asked how much money Liu Chuan had now.

Liu Chuan delivered the money in less than an hour, 300 yuan, all his deposits and all the cash at home. Liu Xia knew about Liu Xia's savings, so Liu Xia asked him so suddenly. Borrowing money made him think that something happened to Liu Xia, and he was worried.

Liu Xia and Mao'er sat in Liu Chuan's car with a smile and asked him to go to Industrial and Commercial Bank. No matter what Liu Chuan asked, they just didn't say what the borrowing money was for.

Maoer took [-] yuan, and then asked Yanagawa to drive them to the Land Bureau.

Liu Xia came out of the Land Bureau, and the two of them relied on Liu Chuan to let him drag them to the east of the trade union.

After getting off the car outside the courtyard of the two family buildings that had already been sealed, Mao'er ran ahead with his head on, looking familiar. The uncle who watched the scene saw him and Liu Xia, and greeted him with a smile. Liu Chuan was puzzled. When asked what Liu Xia was doing here, Liu Xia just grinned and refused to tell him.

The cat ran into the second doorway on the east side of the building in the south, ran to the west door on the second floor, and shouted down from the glassed window: "Uncle San, hurry up, come up quickly."

Liu Chuan came up, looked at the spacious living room that had already been painted with white paint, and said: "Yaoer, I remembered, this is the family building of the Land Bureau. Chu Guoyou's uncle was in the Land Bureau. He said that he didn’t have enough money and didn’t plan to take it anymore, so Chu Guoyou asked him to report it to himself, but when it was time to pay, his uncle paid it himself, and Chu Guoyou’s wife was angry with him for a long time because of this , what are we doing here?"

Liu Xia ran around and opened all the doors that hadn't been painted yet: "Third brother, you can take a look at the house first, how do you feel about this house?"

Liu Chuan said: "Do you need to feel it specially? Once you enter, you can feel very transparent and comfortable. Although it is not as big as your house, it is spacious enough. The bathroom and toilet are also separated. The balcony is so big that every room Both the living room and the living room are bright, much better than the family building in our unit, Yaoer, you, you are not..."

The cat jumped up and pounced on Liu Chuan's back: "Hey, uncle, do you like it? Uncle, we both like this set the most. This is the biggest one, 120 square meters. Xiaoyun and Xiaolei are here to make a fuss. It is enough, and the children don't have to be afraid to let the mosquitoes bite their buttocks after soaking it.

You see, my uncle and we designed the room where the two scumbags live, which is half a meter wider than the one in the north, and can accommodate an extra-large desk like ours, so they will have a place to do their homework in the future. "

With the cat on his back, Liu Chuan looked at Liu Xia in disbelief: "Yaoer, boy, what is this, is this a house you bought for me?"

Liu Xia made a serious look and said: "What do you mean the house we bought for you? You bought the house yourself. Didn't you take the money just now? I just took advantage of my job to find a house for you to buy." The house is just an opportunity."

As he spoke, he regained his usual childishness in front of Yanagawa, and said as if asking for credit: "Brother, how is it? Not bad, except that it's not the best floor, everything else is the best.

In fact, both Maoer and I think the second floor is better. Of course, if the floor is raised higher and there is a small yard, the first floor is the best. Isn’t there no such first floor now? The second floor is The best ever. "

Liu Chuan recovered from the shock: "Well, how much is this house? There are about a hundred people from the Land Bureau. There should be 48 households in this building. How did you get it? It's still so good." house type and floor?"

Liu Xia blew a cheerful whistle: "It's too cold in the empty house, third brother, let's go back and say slowly, be good, come, let my uncle carry it, let's go home and warm up."

The cat jumped off Liu Chuan's back, and then jumped onto Liu Xia's back: "Third Uncle, Sixth Uncle drove my uncle so hard that he wanted to install the house. Your house will be handed over on May [-]st. Let's install it together then." ?”

Liu Xia was able to buy this house purely by chance. When he went to Wang Dongping's house a few years ago and gave her the kickback for the sand table from the Shangcheng County Land Bureau, it happened that Wang Dongping and his lover Wei Yongfu were discussing whether to pay the first fund-raising building. A batch of house money is sad.

Wang Dongping and his wife now live in the family courtyard of Rongze Normal University, which was originally assigned to Wei Yongfu by the unit. The house looks a bit small now, with three bedrooms and one living room only about 70 square meters, but the environment is very good, quiet, and surrounded by trees. It is a courtyard separately enclosed in the recreational area of ​​the campus.

Wang Dongping and his wife were entangled. Apart from the fact that the environment of the family building of the Land Bureau is not as good as that of the normal school, there is another reason, even the most important reason: Wei Yongfu was just transferred to the Education Bureau as secretary in August, and the north of the family building of the Land Bureau is The family building that was handed over by the Education Bureau on National Day this year is less than 15 meters apart. The two houses are in the same courtyard and share the same gate. Wang Dongping and Wei Yongfu are both leaders of the unit, and people usually come and go at home. There are a lot of them, and they may often bring some gifts and the like. If someone in the unit sees it, it will have a bad influence.

However, the units in the fund-raising buildings are more or less subsidized, and Wang Dongping is still eligible to be assigned to better floors and apartment types. If they give up for nothing, they feel a bit at a loss; Can't make up my mind.

Another reason is that Wei Yongfu's house in the normal school is allocated. If they have their own house, the suite has to be returned to the school. The housing in the normal school is also very tight, and there are many people waiting for the house.

In such a small Rongze County, such a major event as buying a house cannot be hidden.

Wang Dongping and his wife are rich, and they can buy a house whenever they have the opportunity, so while they feel that there is no pity, they are not willing to spend so much money to buy a house that they are not satisfied with.

The two of them trusted Liu Xia's character very much, and he didn't intentionally interrupt the conversation when he went, and even asked for Liu Xia's opinion.

Liu Xia said: "Sister, if you are not satisfied, you can transfer it to your relatives, friends or work colleagues, and they will give you a transfer fee. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Wei Yongfu said: "We thought about it, it's not suitable, we are both Shangcheng, and we don't have close relatives in Rongze; if it is transferred to your elder sister's colleague, your elder sister is the deputy director, and can choose a good apartment and a good floor , if she shows any intention of transferring, there must be more than one person she wants. Who will she give it to? If she gives one, she will offend several people, and the gain outweighs the gain.

Your eldest sister is the deputy director when she is transferred here, and we are considered foreigners. There are already many people in her unit who are dissatisfied. If you offend people because of this, it is not worthwhile. "

At that time, Liu Xia also didn't care about losing face if he was rejected face to face, so he summoned up his courage and said, "It's very difficult to find a place to buy a fund-raising house now. , then I won’t talk about it; if you don’t want it, can you transfer it to me? I will give you a reasonable transfer fee.”

As the saying goes, "It doesn't take much effort to find a place without breaking iron shoes." Liu Chuan's house came into existence just by chance. The house was almost capped at that time. Wang Dongping sent it over, and added an additional transfer fee of 1000 yuan, but Wang Dongping and his wife refused to accept anything.

At the beginning, Wang Dongping just introduced Liu Xia to the sand table work in his original unit, and he didn't think about kickbacks at all, but Liu Xia sent her the commission according to the rules, and let them They felt that although Liu Xia was young, he was an honest and worthwhile person. Since they hoped to continue to get along as friends in the future, they felt that it would be too merciless to take Liu Xia's transfer fee.

Wang Dongping didn't want money for life and death, so Liu Xia had no choice but to give up. Everyone lives in Rongze, and the future will be long. He will have opportunities to repay Wang Dongping in the future.

However, a few days later, Wang Dongping told Liu Xia that although she was eligible to be assigned to the third and fourth floors, if she decided to transfer this house to Liu Xia, she thought it would be better not to apply for the best floor. Wang Dongping and Liu Chuan, who will live in the future, may not be doing well.

Liu Xia readily agreed: "As long as the area is bigger and not on the top floor, it's fine. My two nephews are twins, and it's very laborious. Even Rong Ze doesn't like to come. They must not be used to living upstairs. You just Want the first or second floor, so they can play in the yard later."

From the first payment of the house payment to the current distribution of the house, there have been several months in between. Liu Xia and Mao'er have checked the surrounding environment of the house several times. The yard is not enclosed alone, so it is meaningless to ask for the first floor.

The unit in the south of the family building of the Land Bureau, the highest office building is the third floor, in the south, there is a large open space behind, just planted some flowers and trees, which will not affect the lighting of the family building of the Land Bureau at all, Liu Xia and Mao Everyone thinks that in this building, the second floor is the best floor.

For such a big happy event, Liu Chuan couldn't help but got out of the car halfway and called Su Xiaohui. Liu Xia and the others had just put the pot on and started cooking porridge when Su Xiaohui came. She really couldn't believe that they were so fast. We will have a house, and it will still be that big and nice.

Liu Chuan showed her the payment receipt that Wang Dongping had sent to Liu Xia, and Su Xiaohui was so happy that she didn't know what to say to Liu Xia.

Liu Xia is three years younger than her younger brother Su Xiaozhi, and has been contributing money and efforts for the whole family; her younger brother Su Xiaozhi was quite sensible at first, but since he got a beautiful girlfriend, he has become unreasonable, not to mention subsidizing the family , the monthly salary is not enough for me, and now because of marriage, I have been in a cold war with my family, because the woman’s family asked to build a house with three parts and five parts. Su Xiaohui’s father thought that the design of the house was unreasonable. The two bedrooms have poor lighting and ventilation, so they were built into three traditional, transparent rooms.

The woman's family was unwilling, and not only asked for an extra 500 yuan for the ceremony, but also increased the original request for a pair of gold earrings to a gold necklace.

Su Xiaohui's family had already borrowed money to build Su Xiaozhi's wedding house, and they hadn't paid it off yet. Then they started buying furniture, placing bedding and bedding, and spent a lot of money. Satisfy the other party's condition.

The fixed wedding date was therefore postponed indefinitely. After Su Xiaozhi quarreled with his parents a few times, a cold war started. A few days ago, Su Xiaohui's father came to Rongze, and he decided to give in.

What can I do if I don't allow it?The house has also been built, the bride price has been paid out, and all the things for the wedding have been paid for. If you don't want to at this time, all the money you spent before will be wasted.

The father said to Su Xiaohui: "I have kowtowed many heads, and the last one is not bad. The gold necklace is the gold necklace. Oh, girl, I don't think I have broken my conscience in my life. Why did I raise such a bastard as Xiaozhi?" What about things? The daughter-in-law hasn’t married yet, so she forgets about her parents.

Or your father-in-law is good at teaching children. Look at the brothers of your in-laws, one by one, they are sensible; in the future, you can put Xiaoyun and Xiaolei in your family and raise them, follow Liu Chuan and his big family, what about the children? Neither will learn badly. "

Su Xiaohui folded the receipt and gave it to Liu Xia, and asked Liu Chuan, Liu Xia and Mao'er to go to the bedroom to keep warm while she cooked.

Liu Chuan said with a smile: "You want to be nice to our Yao'er. The days will be long in the future. Don't rush to make one or two meals to show that if this Tan Huiling is not destined to be with Yao'er, you will be responsible for introducing someone to Yao'er in the future." A good daughter-in-law will win."

Su Xiaohui nodded again and again: "Middle, no problem. It turns out that our Yao'er is young. The college students assigned by my unit are all older than him, so I can't introduce him. I will be assigned next year. I guess he should be about the same age as Yao'er. I put Take all the good ones, ask Yaoer to pick them one by one."

Liu Chuan drove Mao Er and Liu Xia into the bedroom, and he and Su Xiaohui cooked together.

As soon as the cat entered the bedroom, she was a little sluggish. This Tan Huiling didn't know what to do. The third uncle and three aunts wanted to introduce better things to my uncle. Why did they insist on getting my uncle to get married?There are so many people who are married and quarrel all day long, and there are some who fight, and their life is not beautiful at all, even if they look good, they are not as good as him and my uncle.

Uncle Fu Dong and his wife on the opposite side looked fine, but they would quarrel and get angry. When Uncle Fu was angry, he would not go home at night.

And Ma Pengcheng's parents, they usually look good, but Ma Pengcheng's father bought something for his grandfather last time, which cost thousands of dollars. Ma Pengcheng's mother had a big fight with his father, and it can't be said , wanting to divorce, scared Ma Pengcheng to be honest for a week, and wrote a lot of homework neatly.

There are also Uncle Wan Jianye and Aunt Guo. Aunt Guo cried and scolded Uncle Wan for being useless several times, saying that if Uncle Wan’s parents don’t let her bring their son here, they will divorce Uncle Wan. Can't raise it?

Uncle and the others are never angry. He occasionally slaps Baoer with his uncle because he is too angry. I still feel sorry for my uncle, miss my uncle, and have never been really angry with him. My uncle must know it too, so my uncle is so happy and beautiful every day.

So is he.

The little resentment in Mao'er's heart was temporarily forgotten when he felt Liu Xia's joy and encouragement because Liu Chuan's new house was finally confirmed. I am happy to live in the old city full of mosquitoes in the summer.

Moreover, in the depths of Mao'er's heart that he didn't realize, he was also happy and relieved that his uncle didn't leave him to go on a date today.

So, after Liu Chuan and Su Xiaohui left, when Mao Er and Liu Xia got into bed together, he had already forgotten what made him feel very anxious and uneasy in the morning. Liu Xia's arm read the novel with him, happily commenting on the characters in the book.

It was late at night, and when it was time to sleep, the cat naturally lay down with its arms around Liu Xia's neck, and coquettishly bit Liu Xia's chin twice: "Uncle, as soon as you ask me for leave today, I want to ask for leave tomorrow, and I don't want to go Going to school, hey, uncle, tell me, why do I want to be with you so much? It’s not annoying to be together every day, the last class every day, when I think that school is almost over and I will see you soon Very very happy."

Liu Xia patted the little guy's thin and wide back: "It's okay, uncle, everyone loves you, but it's also good for you, you are also loved by everyone, so uncle is just like you, and treats you specially." Seeing that I am with you, as long as I think of you coming back, or you are at home, my uncle will feel very beautiful in his heart."

"Hey, we're the same!" Mao'er moved up the legs around Liu Xia's waist, buried his face in the crescent of Liu Xia's neck, and closed his eyes: "Sleep, study hard tomorrow, and pass the exam well." University, earn you a lot of money."

Liu Xia reached out to turn off the light, grinning in the dark: Why is the little guy so obedient?Alas, it would be great if I didn’t grow up all the time. I will grow up to one year old, I can talk, I can still carry it on my back, and I can go wherever I want; Go far away, never leave yourself...

In his mind, the appearance of the cat when he was one year old appeared again, sitting on his feet, saying "Ya Ya", saying "Xia, Xia, Qi", saying...

He hugged the little guy a little tighter, the little boy's thin and tough young body felt soft in his arms, which made his heart soften into a puddle of water.

He imagined the scene after eating the little guy, just like what he thought just now, the little guy was drooling and staring at him calling "Xia" with his eyes open, but the place where the little guy was sitting was not On the mountain road of Fengxi Mountain in early winter, it was a warm little nest in his stomach.

Liu Xia laughed silently, but immediately afterwards he wrinkled his face into a bitter gourd, rubbing his chin against the cat's hair, worrying: I have to go tomorrow, but the baby is happy, how can I tell him then?
