between men and women

When people decorate their first home, they always think that they will live in this place for the rest of their lives. This idea is as unreasonable as it is unreasonable to believe that when you are young, if you put in effort, you will always be rewarded.But when I look back when I get old, I will find how ridiculous my original thoughts were, but I have to sigh, how much my current self misses me when I was so simple and ridiculous.

A survey shows that a person will move at least seven times in his life.I don't know how this is calculated. At the time, I thought this statistic was exaggerated. Looking back now, if the school where I lived for a few years is included, it is almost the same as moving at least seven times in my life.

Moving away from home to a boarding school counts as the first time, moving home after graduation counts as the second time, moving out of home and renting the first house with Peng Zhiran counts as the third time, moving to the second rented house counts as the fourth time, Being sent out counts as the fifth time, and resigning from the expatriate job and moving back counts as the sixth time, so I am already working hard to move home for the seventh time.

If a person lives with both long-term goals and short-term goals, it is really a very fulfilling thing.Peng Zhiran knew that I wanted to live in my own house, so I didn't pretend to spend all the money my dad gave me on decoration.

When I was a child, my grandmother showed me the swirls of fingerprints on my fingers. The word "LU" is pronounced in dialect, but I didn't know how to write it.All I know is that I have three out of ten fingers, and in my grandmother's words, it is the fate of "Teng Teng Zhuan".

It is indeed the case, I seem to be very busy all the time, but this busy time makes me look forward to it.

Anyone who has renovated a house knows that this is a painful and happy thing.

In order to save money and ensure quality, Peng Zhiran and I did not choose the full package when decorating, but chose the half package.The so-called half pack means that we don’t need to buy things we need for concealed projects such as cement, yellow sand, bricks and wires, and we have to buy everything else by ourselves.

The project does not wait for anyone. The construction period for the decoration team to decorate a house is more than two months long and more than one month short. Therefore, we need to get all the things we need to buy within this time.Weekends are simply not enough.

The building materials market is also open from nine to six, so we must ask for leave to do these things.

I was busy with work and decoration, and I was really exhausted and exhausted during that time.The most annoying thing is that Peng Zhiran can't use the legitimate reason of renovating the house to ask for leave, otherwise, once the troublemakers in his company find out, they will ask him if he is dating or planning to get married.However, he is also a very picky person with big ideas, and he has to wait for him to see many things before making a decision.So during that period of time, I spent all the weekends and weekends running with him in the building materials market, letting him choose things to make a good idea, and then I would coordinate details such as delivery on weekdays, or go to the site to discuss construction techniques with workers , to do such trivial and troublesome work.

In many cases, no matter how long people get along with each other, several years or even more than ten years, if life remains the same and nothing major happens, you will never know some advantages and disadvantages of the other party.

Just like me and Peng Zhiran.

I always thought that Peng Zhiran was a person who didn't care about trifles, because he was very casual.Things are thrown away, clothes are placed in disorder, and the things you take are never put back in their original places. In addition to having relatively high requirements for food and clothing, he can accept no bed frame and only a mattress, and the house is rough. Also live.

But when it came time to get my own house, I realized that he was actually very picky about his own things. He used to be casual about the residential environment just because he was too lazy to take care of things that were not his own.

It's like a background wall. He said he wanted red, that kind of true red, and he couldn't be biased at all.Another example is the staggered stair railing. He was not satisfied with countless designs, and finally drew a rough shape by himself, which was a style of stacked irregular square wood blocks. Finally, the engineering leader said depressedly that the shape could not be customized. Just let the carpenter do it.It's like a bathroom.Since the door of the bathroom is facing the main door, it is not very good in terms of feng shui, so he asked to make a decorative wall so that there is no door to the bathroom on the entire wall.I think the decoration team leader might have gone crazy at that time, especially when he proposed to install the glazed lion text town of Liuli Workshop on the top of the stair railing column for decoration.I also want to cry, because like the top international designers, he only gives out designs and opinions, and I have to keep an eye on the subsequent construction process and whether it meets his requirements!

But you also can't deny that he's carping very well.

The red dark-grained door, the Smic floor tiles in the open kitchen and the living room, the coffee-colored U-shaped kitchen, the white marble bar separates the kitchen from the living room, and a row of latticed wine racks on the wall above the bar.The red TV background wall and the white floor tiles are hot and cold, the golden yellow marble staggered steps, the dark brown irregular wooden handrails are topped with golden yellow glazed lion towns, and the overall decorative wall of the bathroom is the same color. I bought a piece of Qinglong glazed brick from Liuli Workshop... The whole room is decorated with European simplicity and a bit of Chinese cultural atmosphere. Even the decoration team leader himself did not expect the final effect to be so good.

He seems to be born with great control over color and aesthetics, just like matching clothes. He seems to know what color jacket to wear with what color shirt, what texture tie to wear and what quality of pants to wear.This is beyond my reach.However, his tossing skill in order to achieve the best effect is beyond my reach.

The decoration team will be out of the sea of ​​suffering after the decoration is completed, but I haven't.

The things pasted on the wall are at most a set board, and the furniture that is actually filled inside is the protagonist of this house.

I've never met anyone so obsessed with what they want to buy, and sometimes I admire his obsession, but other times it's just maddening.

It's like buying a sofa.From my point of view, after the house is decorated, what kind of sofa looks good in it, I must see a certain sofa intuitively, so that I can give a suitable or inappropriate evaluation.He is not.I don't know how he did it. Before we bought the sofa, he already had a prototype of the sofa in his mind.

He said that he wanted a leather sofa with bright red lines, clean and square, and it was better that the leather looked firm, not soft!

Damn, you think you are a furniture designer!You can have it if you want!

For the red sofa in his mind, he and I almost ran all over the major furniture stores. I almost threw up when I saw the sofa. Either the color was wrong or the shape was wrong. There was no matching one, not even a similar one.

But this person was still very persistent and said: "Impossible! I don't believe that I can't buy it! The sofa I want is nothing special, the style is quite satisfactory, but the color is special, and not many people make red ones! "

I rely on big brother, you also know that there are not many people making red leather sofas!But he was uncompromising, just refused to give up.Today, his temper is called tasteful and individual.But behind the taste and personality are my various hardships.

Speaking of which, I am not a very picky person, and I would be happy to give me a beautiful, comfortable and soft fabric sofa to sit on.But there is no way, for his red sofa, I had no choice but to accompany him around the city.

People at that time were not strong in personality, and there were not as many small imported furniture stores to choose from as today, and most of them sold more popular furniture stores.But hard work pays off, we actually found a unique furniture store in a corner of a lovers' street.

This store is on the second floor. When I passed by, I looked up by chance and saw a very artistic shop sign. I suddenly felt that there might be something special in this place. Red sofa by the wall.

At that time, I really felt like crying. It’s been almost 20 or [-] days. I worry about a sofa every day, and finally I have a red one.

Peng Zhiran also felt quite satisfied, although it was slightly different from what he had imagined, but this was already the most satisfying one he could buy, and the two made a decision on the spot.As a result, there is a soft leather white sofa with a high back next to the red sofa. Happy to buy back together.

Grandma's chest, just like that, I was tortured by him for more than two months before I finally got the things in the house done. After I got it done, I found that I suddenly had a problem called Peng Zhiran's shopping phobia.This problem directly caused me to be terrified when he asked me to buy anything later, because I was afraid that he would not be satisfied with what I bought back.Because he's just too picky.

But generally speaking, the experience of the first renovation was more joyful than painful. After all, at that time, both of us had the joy of finally having our own home. There were occasional frictions, but in the end it all ended with me compromising.Damn it, I don't know why I always give in whenever something happens between the two of us!

On the day we officially moved in, we were all very excited.The two found a moving company.Not to mention, when we first rented a house independently, we obviously didn't have so many things, but after these two years, the two of us have more and more things.

After arriving at the new house, Peng Zhiran moved all his messy things to the guest bedroom, and lay down on his pretentious single bed for a while.

We didn't tell anyone about the joint house purchase. To our parents and close friends such as Zou Feng, we only lied about renting a two-bedroom apartment.When we first rented a house, our wages were low, and our parents would not doubt it when we rented a one-room household. Later, when I was sent abroad, Peng Zhiran lived in a one-room household most of the time, and his parents would not doubt it either. Random thoughts.But now the two have been "jointly renting" for a long time, and they are "renting" two bedrooms and two living rooms. Although according to the past habits of both parents, they will not disturb them, but it is still necessary to prevent problems before they happen, and make two bedrooms good.So we put a single bed in the guest bedroom as Peng Zhiran's bedroom, and a double bed in the master bedroom, which is my bedroom.

Of course, Peng Zhiran is also a permanent resident of my bedroom.No, after only a short while, he ran over and knocked on the door of my master bedroom: "Little rabbit, please open the door and let my husband come in!"

I snickered, holding the doorknob of the master bedroom and not opening the door: "You can say it the other way around! You're so loud, husband, open the door and I'll let you in!"

As a result, I waited for a long time without any movement.

I think he must have rushed in when I was impatient to open the door, so I wouldn't be fooled.So I waited for a while, and after there was still no movement, I simply ignored him and went to tidy up the room.As soon as he turned around, he heard the sound of the door lock turning.oops!I forgot this guy had a bedroom key!

At this time, it was too late to block the door, so this guy stretched his foot in, and grinned at me: "The little rabbit is going to rebel! I will tell you who is my husband right now!"
