dance like a butterfly

"What ability? Why laugh at the poor but not at the prostitute?" I was stunned.

Turning around, the eldest brother was still watching the movie while pinching the remote control indifferently.

On the screen, Zhang Ning was singing "Su San Qi Jie" sternly.

I sat down again, "Brother, that's not what I said."

"What do you mean? Don't you really understand this truth?" He squinted at me, "Don't say that you and Lao Han are not together for money!"

My blood surged, I opened my mouth again and again, but found that I couldn't say anything.

It's not that I can't defend myself, and I'm not the kind of person who can throw dirty water on my head, but all of a sudden, I realized that I have nothing to say with my elder brother on the matter of Lao Han. speak.

Thinking of Lao Han's entrustment just now, I suppressed a smile, "You can think whatever you want."

I turned on the shower, and the hot water rushed down. I covered my face and stood for a long time without moving.

It would be fine if everyone in this world thought that I was with Lao Han just to covet his wealth. , at least, I will not live so tired; but if everyone in this world thinks that I am with Lao Han because of "perverted" love, then how long will we have to struggle, and how long can we persist?

Old Han, in front of me, you are the wall that blocks the wind and the tree that shades the sun, but in the thousands of wind and rain, can you really be strong and unyielding all the time?You really don't have a tiring day?

Suddenly, I felt that Tianfu Huating in Tianshui was the last city and fortress we would retreat to. If there was no way to retreat with Old Han, would we have to wander around?

Since Lao Han arranged for me to stay here, there must be his plans, I just need to take care of it carefully, so I don't need to take my elder brother's words and deeds too seriously.Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became clear.

The next day, I had breakfast with my eldest brother, and went to the sales center to find the salesman at the time, and asked her if she had any suitable decoration companies to introduce to me.

Xiao Hu recognized me at a glance and seemed very enthusiastic. He gave up his seat and served tea and water, and asked us to drink tea on the sofa and wait. After a crackling phone call, she came over and said with a smile, "Handsome guy, I'll call you One is good. They are a decoration company with a very good reputation, and the price is very reasonable. After a while, their boss will send someone to negotiate with you. You hand over the decoration plan to them, and they will do a good job according to your requirements. You Just take it easy."

I hurriedly smiled and said thank you.

Not long after, a very gentle middle-aged man with glasses came along with a tall man with a black and red face.Xiao Hu hurriedly recommended it to me.

The middle-aged man with glasses called himself Lao Zhang, and introduced that the tall man's surname was Ma.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Hu, we took Lao Zhang's car to our new house on Hebin East Road.

I don't have a written decoration plan, thinking that Lao Han's decoration style in Yaxin Garden is very warm, so I follow the gourd painting to give Lao Zhang pointers, what size floor tiles to use, what material to use for the ceiling, and what kind of living room. The layout of the bedroom, the layout of the bedroom, the layout of the bathroom, etc.

Lao Zhang and Master Ma pointed and talked a lot. Finally, Lao Zhang asked Lao Ma to make a list of materials for me, and said, "Okay, I will do as you want. I will contact the floor tiles and sandstone cement in the past two days. OK, we can get to work."

After signing the contract, we left each other's phone calls, and went downstairs to transfer 1 yuan to the other party's account as an advance payment. Lao Zhang shook hands with me and said goodbye.

When they had gone far away, my elder brother smiled and said to me, "Third brother, I didn't realize that you still do things the same way."

I smile lightly.

It's not that I have a way of doing things. When I'm with Lao Han, what has he worried about me?Thinking back to Yaxinyuan’s home, from buying a house to decorating, I was even kept in the dark by him. I just cared about messing with him, but in a month or so, he quietly made it for us. A cozy nest.Maybe, for the color and texture of a floor tile, he asked again and again, maybe for a bed, so small as a shower, he weighed and weighed.The window leading to the balcony, how long has his figure stood under the moonlight at night?Cigarettes lingered between him, how many times the silhouette of us cuddling each other flashed in his mind.

I suddenly thought that Lao Han is now participating in the election, and he is not purely for himself. Although he never said it, he must have bet my future on this competition.Thinking of this, I thought about Lao Han again in my heart. I raised my eyes and looked up at the sky, and said in my heart: God bless, may my brother go well this time!

Yesterday, when I was wandering around, I saw a lot of cement shops in the market with a piece of paper hanging on the door: selling sand and gravel.I stopped by and asked about the price, and felt that it was expensive from time to time, so I wrote down their phone number.I know that meals have to be eaten bite by bite, and things can only be done step by step.

The eldest brother suddenly asked, "What are you going to do now? Go shopping?"

"What are you shopping for?" I didn't understand.

The eldest brother laughed, "I heard that Tianshui is a good place. There are many temples of former emperors, and there are many fortune tellers. It is said that it is very effective. I am going to have a look."

I didn't have the mood to play, "Well, go by yourself. I'll see if there is a cheaper place nearby, rent it for us, and buy some daily necessities."

He rolled his eyes, "Really, Lao Han is so rich, why do you still care about saving those two money for him? Okay, okay, you go, what a blessing!" He said, Kick a small stone under your feet far away.

"Brother, think about it, this decoration is not a one-day or two-day job. After all, we are not at home, so we can save one and count one. Besides, it is more convenient to live nearer."

I patiently explained to my elder brother.

The eldest brother didn't look at me, and stretched out a hand, "Bring it!"

"What?" I was puzzled.

"Do you want me to go shopping? I don't have money to go shopping?" He was very unhappy.

I took out the clip and gave him 300 yuan.He smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch two more, and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about eating, I'll go back to the hotel in the evening."

The eldest brother blocked a taxi and walked away.

I walked eastward along Binhe Road step by step. It was almost noon, and the sun was shining straight down. After walking a few steps, my body began to sweat.

People say that Tianshui has four distinct seasons, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.In a shady place, wearing jackets can feel a bit cold, but in the sun, a thin sleeveless shirt makes people feel hot.Although the Tianfu Huating real estate is located in a development zone, there are many low-rise old-style houses not far away, which are not very lively.

After walking about 200 meters, I saw a female sanitation worker sitting on the side of the road resting. I stepped forward and asked, "Sister, is there any house for rent nearby?"

"Yes, it depends on what you want." She looked me up and down.

"As long as it's spacious, clean and able to cook."

"Then I'll take you to my house to have a look. It's not far in front." She stood up and pointed to the south, "Someone vacated a room just the day before yesterday. The bed, table, and sofa are all ready-made, or , take you to see?"

I am full of joy.The woman put the broom under the green belt on the roadside, crossed the road, pointed to the village and said, "It is also convenient to buy vegetables and shopping here, and the transportation to the city is also very convenient."

Looking in the direction of her finger, there was indeed a station sign. After walking a few steps to the entrance of the village, several women came over with plastic bags full of vegetables, talking and laughing, "Sister-in-law Ma, are you off work?"

Mrs. Ma smiled and said, "Not yet, take some free time to do some private work."

A younger daughter-in-law with more fashionable clothes said casually, "Sister-in-law Ma, you take a handsome guy to do private work, be careful that my brother Ma breaks your leg."

An older woman gave her a push, "It's only you who can talk nonsense, maybe it's a relative of Mrs. Ma's family."

A few women walked away laughing and laughing, Mrs. Ma said with a smile, "These mouths are open."

Turning into the second alley, Mrs. Ma pointed to the first one facing north and said, "Here we are, this is my house, take a look."

This is a three-room one-storey house with a wooden black door ajar.Mrs. Ma pushed open the door, walked through the clean hall, one bright and two dark, and a small sunny courtyard came into my eyes.The old-fashioned hand-pressed water pump is facing the concierge, and behind the water pump is a kitchen. Beside the water pump, a few bunches of chrysanthemums and a few pink roses are blooming brilliantly.

A man was carrying us behind his back, squatting on the ground chopping firewood, looking at his back, he suddenly felt a little familiar.

"Shopkeeper, someone wants to rent a house." Mrs. Ma shouted to the man with a smile.

The man turned around, and it turned out to be the old horse who was with Lao Zhang just now!The old horse put down his ax and stood up, his black and red face immediately filled with a smile, "Oh, it's you, rare guest rare guest!"

"You guys know each other?" Mrs. Ma was very surprised.

"I just met him. He bought a house here, and it happened to be the decoration job we took over." Lao Ma explained with a smile, and hurriedly took out a box of Ocean brand cigarettes from his coat pocket, took out one and handed it to me, and took it himself one.

Mrs. Ma said to Lao Ma, "Then I don't care, show him. I sneaked back and have to go to work." After speaking, she nodded to me with a smile, turned and left.

The old horse took me into the house, turned on the key on the door of the east house, and said, "This room was vacated just the day before yesterday, and the tenant also moved out after finishing building the house in your community."

The house is not small, about 21 square meters, with two wooden beds, one large and one small, an old but strong writing cabinet leaning against the window, on which there is a [-]-inch color TV of the Yellow River brand, and a green The golden velvet sofa was leaning against the corner. Although the velvet surface was a little faded, it didn't feel dusty at all.The floor was clean and covered with ivory-white floor tiles.

"Can I cook here?" I asked the old horse.

"Yes." The old horse took me out, pointed to the spacious eaves, and said, "Look, this house has two floors, even if it rains, it can't be drenched. The tenant used to cook here."

Seeing that Lao Ma is very kind, I asked how much a month's rent, and Lao Ma smiled and said, "The man used to pay [-] a month. Anyway, this house is idle, so you can pay it."

I took out [-], "For cooking, I use a gas stove, just watch TV once a month, and use a light. If it includes water and electricity, is [-] enough?"

The old horse took the money and returned a piece of paper, "The water is my own, and I don't need money. I don't need a few kilowatt-hours of electricity. Three hundred is enough, enough."

I insisted on pushing it back, "If you don't want it, I will find another place, and there will be more places to trouble you in the future."

The old horse had no choice but to accept the money with a smile, "Listen to the accent, are you an authentic Shaanxi native?"

"Ah."

I don't want to gossip too much in front of a stranger.

"Actually, I have relatives in Xianyang. My uncle's family is in Sanyuan County." Ma added.

I smiled and didn't care.

Ma is a kind man, I can see that.

I'm going to go shopping for some necessities in the afternoon, I'm moving here tomorrow.
