between men and women

I don’t know if children with incomplete families had the same strange idea as me, that they didn’t have their own home — their own home, not the home of their own father and stepmother, nor the home of their own mother and stepfather.I don't always have a strong sense of belonging in places where I'm not close to my parents.So when Peng Zhiran said let's buy a house, he probably didn't understand that what he proposed was not just buying a place that could shelter from the wind and rain. In my concept, he was promising to give me a home.A home of my own.This brought tears to my eyes.

Peng Zhiran is a person who is confused about small things but clear about big things.If you want to save money, you can save money, so people who like to go shopping even buy less clothes than before.

He and I were basically moonlight clans before. When we were happy, we could go shopping for a day and buy a lot of food and clothing.Since that day, we have started planning every month.

Now that we have a common goal, Peng Zhiran naturally handed over all the cards to me, just like a normal husband handing over his salary card.I changed the passwords of the two people to a unified one, and then sent him pocket money every month.

This pocket money has been issued for more than ten years.

In 2000, our wages were more than [-] yuan, plus some cash bonuses from time to time, sometimes we could get more than [-] yuan.

My round-trip fare is reimbursed by the company, and I try to settle lunch and dinner in the company cafeteria.Peng Zhiran also followed my example, going to his mother's place every two days for a toothbrush.That's it, we can save one person's salary in a month at most.

I applied for a debit card at ICBC, and transferred all the money saved by the two of them to this card.We used to always laugh at others when we passed by the bank just to save money, and we were willing to be silly to save money at the end of every month.Standing in a long queue, two people said all kinds of unnutritious words without saying a word, and then waited stupidly for the people at the counter to deposit the money in the two accounts into the same card, and then took out the expenses for the next month.Every time the two of them looked at the ever-increasing numbers on the subsidiary ledger, they would smile silly and proud.

In order to save money, two people bought a small cake for my birthday that year and shared it with candles at home.I dare not go out for a big dinner at Christmas, so I make egg and potato salad at home, and buy a roast chicken to watch DVDs.Peng Zhiran said that in the future we will spend our birthday and Christmas in the house we bought, and that will be the biggest gift.

When the millennium crossed the New Year, we went to the square in the center of the city to count down together.Sister Peng Zhiran and her boyfriend, Luo Feng and Liang Mingchuan also went together.

All the main roads are full of people walking towards the square, and they will be squeezed away if they are not careful.I secretly took Peng Zhiran's hand and followed him, and he looked back at me from time to time and smiled at me.

When I stood under the huge clock on the square and looked up at the minute hand with everyone, it was slowly approaching midnight, and I felt like a dream.

I still remember when Hong Kong returned to China in [-], I hugged Peng Zhiran's waist and said that I would cross the millennium with him.But at that time, how could I have imagined that today would be like this and come to New Year's Eve with him.

When the second hand moved towards twelve o'clock, everyone in the square raised their heads and counted the seconds together: ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five... Suddenly Peng Zhiran took my hand.I turned my head, flashing my eyes, he suddenly came up to kiss me, the bell above my head rang at that time, he let me go, and said to me: "Happy Millennium." The next moment, he squeezed my finger cuff Something came up.

I lowered my head, my fingers trembled slightly, and there was a silver ring on my middle finger. He held my hand and turned it over to show me the ring of the same style on his middle finger.The ring is very simple, with a thin circle, and three English words "lovetodie" engraved on it.

My eyes were hot and I foolishly translated: "Love to death..."

Peng Zhiran couldn't help laughing, and said, "You can't have a literary accent!" Then he turned his head to look at the big clock in the square unnaturally, and said with a paralyzed face: "It must be translated as 'I will never change until death'."

I was stunned for a moment before I realized it, squeezed his fingers tightly, and looked up at the front: "Well, I will never change until death."

Sister Peng Zhiran had just hugged and kissed her boyfriend before, she turned her head and shook hands excitedly at us, she was taken aback when she saw my red eyes: "What's wrong with Chen Jia?" Liang Mingchuan looked at me and Peng Zhiran with complicated eyes.

I laughed: "I'm so happy! It's the millennium!"

Sister Peng Zhiran: "Yes, yes, some people say that [-] will be the end of the world. Damn it, it's all a lie!"

Peng Zhiran: ...

I:……

Then one day when I was flipping through the newspaper in my office, I accidentally saw a page-full advertisement of a well-known gold jewelry brand in the newspaper, promoting various gold and silver jewelry launched by their family for the millennium, one of which was exactly This one for me and Peng Zhiran.In order to publicize, the merchant also asked the customers who bought the ring to write some love declarations or something on the sticky notes, and then made those words into a promotional photo and placed them in the middle of the full page.I read them one by one, and there were those that said so-and-so I love you in an easy-to-understand way, and some that were more literary, and then I saw a few very familiar words, which were as ugly as ever.

He wrote: "Love, the most important thing is persistence."

I admit that Peng Zhiran is more literary than me.

He's a guy with a higher EQ than me and a lower IQ than me.This is very telling in everyday life.

When I was first transferred to a foreign assignment, he couldn't even make dumplings. He called and asked me whether I should boil the dumplings in cold water from the beginning, or boil the water before serving the dumplings.I could only answer him with a string of ellipses.

Later, when I was outside for a long time, he was barely able to fill himself up, but he was limited to eating in the cafeteria or going to the supermarket to buy bento.

But when it comes to spending a small amount of money on romance, he is very good at it, and he often suddenly thinks of buying me something small, even if it's just a small potted plant for five yuan.In my impression, it seems that he is always giving me things. I rarely give him things, so it is rare to go shopping once, so I pull him to look around to see if there is anything I can buy for him.

Then my nature of second-hand goods began to be exposed.

Because I was watching too intently, I went around in the shelves all the way, knocking things off along the way.Peng Zhiran picked it up and put it away for me helplessly and funnyly, kept saying sorry to others, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "What are you going to buy?"

I looked at him innocently: "I don't know, I just want to buy something for you."

He laughed: "Don't buy it, if you touch a fragile item later, it will become a pile of glass for me to take back." I had no choice but to give up.

On weekends, I like to go grocery shopping with him.I usually save a lot, and I always have to eat better on weekends.

But because of the experience of being discovered by someone once, we always pay attention to avoiding suspicion in the community and near the community, and never make any intimate gestures. Sometimes we even deliberately go out first, and then go out after the other, and agree on a good place to meet.

One day before the new year, we thought we should go out and buy some melon and fruit snacks, which can be regarded as some New Year's goods.Peng Zhiran went out to buy breakfast first, and when he finished shopping, he called my mobile phone to tell me to go out.I hung up the phone and put it back on the charger, then changed clothes and went out. The moment I closed the door, I realized that I was two.

Because of the relationship last time, when we rented a house this time, we rented a special house out of privacy considerations.

There are usually four families on one floor of an old-fashioned public house, and two families have half a stairwell.The house we rented this time is Room 02, which shares half of the stairwell with Room 01. The two families specially built a main door in the stairway for quietness.Once the door is closed, it is the two families' own small world.The family in room 01 heard that they bought a new house and moved out, so the house has been vacant.In other words, outside the door of the house we rented, there is a main door that separates the neighbors from us and forms a world of its own.Enough to keep our privacy.

But the main door in this corridor has a drawback.Since this door was dismantled and installed here by the owners of the two households at the beginning, the door probably opened on the right, but now it has been turned over and changed to open on the left. There is an old-fashioned lock, and you need a key to open the door from the inside or the outside.

As a result, I changed my clothes and went out in a hurry. I forgot to take the key, so I locked myself in the corridor between the door and the main door.

I was dumbfounded on the spot.I touched my pocket and wanted to call Peng Zhiran, only to realize that my phone was plugged into the charger and I forgot to take it.That sad reminder at that time, countless grass mud horses ran wildly and shouted in their hearts!At this time, how I wish someone lived next door. Privacy and the like are all bullshit.You said that I was imprisoned in such a place, it was so ineffective every day!

After hesitating for a while, I climbed up to the window sill and looked down, wow, even though it was only on the third floor, I didn’t dare to climb down.I had to squat on the ground decadently.

The mobile phone in the room started to chatter, it must be Peng Zhiran who was impatient to call to remind him.This guy hates other people to make him wait, that is me, I can make him wait for 10 minutes, I heard from Luo Feng and Liang Mingchuan that they made an appointment with time and place, and they were always the only ones waiting for him, and he never waited human.

I was thinking depressingly, how could type B blood go so far, I was always late and refused to wait for others.Waiting for Peng Zhiran to come back and get angry with me in various ways.

The cell phone in the room was clamoring for a while and finally stopped. I figured that he would come back to train me soon.After waiting for a while, I heard footsteps.

I stood up pitifully and looked at the door. With a "crash", the door opened, and he had a bag of fried dough sticks in his hand with a dark face: "What's the situation with you, I'll wait for you for a long time and won't answer the phone!"

I looked at him bitterly: "I didn't bring my mobile phone or key, so I was locked between two doors."

He suddenly burst into laughter, squatting on the ground laughing, and took a long time to catch his breath: "You...you are so stupid and natural!"
