together for a moment

On the way out of the hospital and going to the radio station, Nick kept in touch with other clients about the viewing time tomorrow, took out his mobile phone to send messages, and occasionally chatted with Zhao Yimu when he felt impolite, but he never mentioned money from the beginning to the end.

Although Zhao Yimu asked about the amount and reason of his family’s debts last time, Nick’s pressure may be more than that. Mother’s long-term hospitalization needs nursing care is also an expense. Healthy people can make money, but sick people will definitely only spend money. very fast.

If Nick asked him to borrow money, would he borrow it?Zhao Yimu was thinking about this problem in the car. According to his observation, Nick didn't seem to mention other relatives except his parents, and he didn't have any friends in China because he went abroad to study. If he really couldn't make it, who would Nick ask for help?Is that brother?Or...will you tell him this?If Zhao Yimu really wants to buy a house, he won't have a lot of money, but if Nick asks, he will find some to lend to him based on... no matter what.

But Nick didn't say a word about borrowing money, and the radio station arrived.

"I seem to always use you as a driver, thank you is almost not enough." Nick opened the car door and brought in a little autumn night wind. He tightened his coat and got out of the car, saying, "Go back early, thank you for today."

"Nick," Zhao Yimu hurriedly called him, and when Nick turned his head and said "Huh?", he still hadn't organized his words, "You...I mean...you don't have to be so polite all the time, it's okay to drop by, if In addition, there is still something that needs my help, so please speak up as much as possible.”

The corners of Nick's mouth were raised several degrees, and the whole row of white teeth could still be seen in the dim light, "It would be a big help if you gave me a ride, otherwise I would have to ride a bike all over the street with the quilt in my arms."

Obviously Nick didn't intend to borrow money or didn't intend to borrow money from him. When Zhao Yimu stepped on the accelerator and left, Nick stood on the side of the road and waved his arms high. Tired but still glowing, Zhao Yimu didn't know whether to feel relieved or more worried.

Zhao Yimu drove home and parked the car, only to remember that he hadn't called Xiaopei all night, and just turned the phone to silent in the hospital. Sure enough, he took out his phone from his pocket and saw seven missed calls, seven?What's the rush?

"Hello? Xiao Pei?" Zhao Yimu called her back from the car.

"Yimu, have you finished reading the house? Why didn't you answer the call I just made?" Xiaopei's surroundings were very quiet, and his voice was very clear.

"I just drove back to the parking lot after seeing the house. I stopped by to have a meal with Xiao Du at night. The place to eat is a food stall. The environment is noisy, and I didn't hear the phone call." Zhao Yimu explained a long list unconsciously.

"Oh," Xiao Pei paused for a moment, "Big gear...talking for so long? It's almost 09:30."

"Well, let's talk about the common sense of buying a house. I forgot to pay attention to the time, and there was a traffic jam on the return trip." Zhao Yimu didn't know if it was because of his own guilt or something, but he felt that Xiaopei seemed to ask a lot today, "You need me urgently?"

"It's nothing. The place where I went to visit customers with the boss today is very close to your side. After I finished, I wanted to talk about going to your house for dinner. By the way, I will give you a small gift." Xiao Pei's tone was lighter.

"There are gifts? What is it?" Zhao Yimu asked with a smile.

"The client I visited today did some research on Feng Shui luck. After the meeting, everyone chatted. When I mentioned that I plan to get married next year, he gave me a crystal decoration, saying that placing it in the northwest of my boyfriend's bedroom can avoid some troubles." Xiao Xiao Pei said.

"Trouble?" Zhao Yimu smiled indifferently, "For example, what trouble?"

"A lot, such as general health and safety," Xiaopei said in a relaxed and joking tone, "and prevent rotten peach blossoms from approaching."

The word "Rotten Peach Blossom" made Zhao Yimu's heart skip a beat twice, and they were not on the beat.

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Yimu laughed twice, "I didn't expect you to believe this?"

"It doesn't hurt to believe it, after all, you have always been popular," Xiao Pei said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I have to take precautions."

"Stop thinking about it and rest early, I'll discuss the house price with you tomorrow," Zhao Yimu rubbed his brows, "That's it for now, good night."

After cutting off the call, Zhao Yimu put the phone back into his pocket, and found a cardboard version in it. It was the photo he took with Nick in Varanasi yesterday. It was 2 by 3 inches in size. I gave it to Nick and asked him to clip it on the staff in the room, but I forgot it after a while.

Zhao Yimu turned on the small light on the roof of the car and stared at the photo. He still remembered that he took a boat on the Ganges River to watch the sunrise. At that time, the wind was a bit strong, and the hair was flying around like weeds. The two people who just woke up said: He's really not that handsome, and his eyes are squinted because of the rising sun, but his smile is so pretty.

It turns out that I can also smile with such warmth and enthusiasm, just like Nick.

He put the photo in his wallet and gave it to Nick when he had the next chance, maybe when Xiaopei was not around. Although he had nothing to do with Nick, what Xiaopei said today still made him uncomfortable.

Zhao Yimu got out of the car and walked towards home. The cars parked in a mess near the old apartment where he lives now, it is not impossible to insist on finding a place, but he doesn't like this kind of selfish and selfish approach, especially the parking lot attached to the park next to it. I rented a parking space here, and the indoor area is managed by someone 24 hours a day, which is worth it.

As soon as he walked out of the exit of the parking lot, he heard someone calling him from behind: "Mumu!"

The whole world will call him this is his mother and Uncle Zhang next door, and when he turns around, he finds that both of them are there.

"Mom, Uncle Zhang, are you still out for a walk so late?" Usually, the two of them are just companions when they are free, playing chess, taking a walk, making tea and eating melon seeds and chatting, but today's time is a bit late.

"Isn't it just that the last health checkup doctor said that my blood pressure and visceral fat are high, and I have to exercise more if I want to eat lightly." Tang Qing wiped off the thin layer of sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, "I told Lao Zhang, he listened After that, I suggested that we go out for a walk for an hour after dinner.”

"The weather is neither too cold nor too hot. It's good to go out for a walk, otherwise watching TV at home would be boring." Uncle Zhang is a retired veteran. Although he is getting older, he still maintains the habit of regular labor.

"Very good. If it's too cold in winter, I'll give you a gym card." Zhao Yimu slowed down and followed them towards home.

"Mu Mu, how about going to see the house today? Xiaopei came to wait for you for a long time today, but he didn't answer the call. What's the matter?" Tang Qing asked.

"Very satisfied. I not only looked at the house but also took a look at the surrounding environment. The function and convenience are good, but it's a pity that it's a 15-minute drive from here." Zhao Yimu replied.

"15 minutes? How long will it take to walk?" Tang Qing muttered and then explained to himself, "But it doesn't matter, I will buy a motorcycle and learn to ride."

"I have a motorcycle. If you want to find your son, I will take you there." Uncle Zhang said bluntly.

"I originally hoped to find it near my home, preferably within walking distance..." Zhao Yimu said.

"Hey, don't worry about me. It's okay to ride a bicycle. I see that there are many old and young people on the road who can ride bicycles," he said, "You can get the house done quickly. The most important thing is to marry Xiaopei back."

"Riding a bike is one thing, but I'm worried about leaving you alone at home." Zhao Yimu sighed, thinking of his mother doing laundry, eating and living alone in a house, his heart ached.

"Uncle Zhang's family next door is here. If Haozi and his wife have a baby in the future, it will be very lively, and I can help take care of it," Tang Qing said with a smile: "Old Zhang, if you have a grandson, you have to go with him." I said, I can still confine your wife."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, I don't worry about it." Uncle Zhang's long white eyebrows curved with a smile, and the three returned to the residence. Zhao Yimu said good night to Uncle Zhang and went home with his mother.

"I will stay with Xiaopei for dinner tonight. Xiaopei's family environment is good and he probably hasn't done any housework, but he is not squeamish. It is rare to be willing to help me or clean up the dishes." Tang Qing took off his shoes at the entrance, "Today I said that my blood sugar and blood pressure were high, and she printed out many precautions for me online.”

"Print? Where can I print it for you?" Zhao Yimu was stunned.

"She was going to send me the website address, but the phone is so small that I can't see it clearly," Tang Qing went to the kitchen to pour water, took the water glass and went back to the living room to show him a stack of papers on the table, "Later, Xiao Pei I said I wanted to put something in your room, and when I saw that the computers and business machines in the room were turned on, I printed them out and gave them to me.”

Zhao Yimu saw that all the knowledge written on the paper was "diet therapy to control blood sugar and blood pressure" and "low GI food". In fact, when he checked it out before, he also bought a book for Tang Qing to read, and the content was similar.

"If you are satisfied with the house you looked at today, you can make a price. It doesn't matter if it is higher. Mom still has some money to subsidize, understand?" Tang Qing asked.

"I have saved a lot in the past few years. It is no problem to pay the down payment. After that, I will pay back the loan slowly. I will think about how much to bid." Zhao Yimu hopes not to use Tang Qing's money as much as possible. She has saved her whole life simply, When you are old, you should no longer worry about money.

"Isn't there an entrusted intermediary? Is it reliable?" Tang Qing asked.

"The agent is a young guy, he is very motivated to do things without playing tricks, and he can be trusted." Zhao Yimu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he thought of Nick.

"Can young people do it?" Tang Qing was a little worried.

"It's okay, don't worry about so many things. If I can't buy a house, I will still live here. What is there to worry about?" Zhao Yimu said with a smile.

"Hey, I'm even more worried when you say that," Mom slapped him on the back, "I'm going to bed so don't do it too late."

"Good night." Zhao Yimu entered the room and saw that the computer screen on the table was still on, and he felt a sudden thump in his heart. He completely forgot that his computer desktop was a photo on the bank of the Ganges River. In the photo, Nick was sitting on the steps with his back to the camera. , wearing the orange scarf of the same style as him, the river bank curved into a curtain knife stretches behind him, and pigeons fly in groups, which is very artistic.

Usually no one would come into his room, let alone Xiaopei. Although Nick's face was not captured in this photo, he thought of what Xiaopei said tonight, and somehow felt that it meant something.

Just thinking about it, the mobile phone sent a message notification, it was from Xiaopei: Can you go to the wedding dress company next week?
