There is no elevator on the 1 1 floor of that old house.

During the National Day, Chongqing Baixiangju, which was once popular because of the better days of the movie "Hot Pot Hero", once again boarded the hot search, attracting countless tourists to punch in.

The reason is that this old house has 24 floors and there is no elevator. There are only three exits on floors 1, 10 and 15. Residents on each floor can choose the nearest exit to travel.

After seeing this hot search, I was filled with emotion. On the one hand, I feel that every grass and tree in Chongqing may become an online celebrity. On the other hand, it reminds me of the old house I rented when I just graduated from Chongqing. It is also a house without an elevator. Different from Baixiangju, it only has 1 1 floor, and only 1 floor has an exit!

I live on the 9th floor from June 20 15 to July 20 17.

0 1 moved into a house without an elevator.

That year, I just graduated to work in Chongqing and found this house in 58 cities. The house is at two intersections in Chongqing, between Liziba subway station and Niujiaotuo subway station on the south bank of Jialing River. It's called Community XX, and the floor is *** 1 1. There are many houses like this in that area.

I went to see the house after work. The landlord's uncle said that all the houses around here were built twenty years ago, and most of them belonged to public houses and were allocated to employees. He is an employee of a certain unit.

He said: "The houses in Gui Huayuan community are very impressive." It is true that this building is halfway up the river, and you can overlook it by taking the light rail on the Chongqing-Macao Bridge. Below the house is Datianwan Primary School, where children can be heard laughing and playing every day. So in the current words, this house is a "river view room+school district room" configuration.

And they chose the one on the ninth floor, and my uncle said, "We were young at that time, so it's time to exercise. Moreover, the low floor is easily blocked by leaves, and the lighting is not good ... "Not only that, the house on the ninth floor of my uncle can also see the light rail on the Jialing River and the Chongqing-Macao Bridge; Down is the stadium of Datianwan Primary School.

I didn't say anything. I just looked around and decided. Because the ninth floor doesn't matter whether you are young or not, and the rent is cheap, the house with two rooms 1 hall is only in 800 yuan every month, which is very cost-effective for me who just graduated.

I paid the deposit that night and took the key. I moved in the next day after work!

The wisdom of life on the 9th floor.

To tell the truth, this is the first time in my life to rent a house, and it is also the first time to experience the life without elevator on the ninth floor. In the experience of climbing the stairs at least twice a day, I seem to get a glimpse of some wisdom of life.

First, know how to give up.

In the summer of 20 16, my cousin came to Chongqing to play.

Because he has been working in a hotel, he especially wants to show his cooking skills in front of me. So, the two of us bought cooking materials in the vegetable market downstairs. I repeatedly confirmed to my cousin whether I had bought all the ingredients. After I got a positive answer, we went to the ninth floor talking and laughing.

My cousin is very busy in the kitchen, cooking his famous Chili scrambled eggs and shredded green pepper. But just when he made chicken wings with coke, he found a problem: there was no coke at home.

People who cook should have obsessive-compulsive disorder, right? I just want to be perfect, and I can't do without a seasoning. So is my cousin.

So he asked me to buy it. I turned him down severely and asked him to use soy sauce instead, or he bought it himself. Because I repeatedly confirmed to him whether the ingredients were complete, it was his own fault to ask him to buy them himself.

Maybe my cousin forgot that this is the ninth floor, and he really agreed. But in the end, I just pushed the door open, stepped back, and reluctantly said, "Forget it, that's it!" " Because to buy a bottle of soy sauce is to go down to the ninth floor first and then to the ninth floor.

So, we finally got chicken wings without coke.

Second, learn to divert attention.

Later, my parents came to live. Every time I go upstairs, I ask my mother, "Mom, can you recite my brother's phone number?" "Mom, do you know your granddaughter's phone number in Shaoyang?" ……

This distracts her from climbing stairs and reduces her pain of counting stairs and climbing the ninth floor. In this way, my mother memorized all the telephone numbers at home and still remembers them now.

Third, the goal is clear.

If I go upstairs alone, I usually climb straight with my head down, giving me the feeling of "climbing to the ninth floor without looking at the floor number" Because I can't count them, they are all on the ninth floor. If you go upstairs layer by layer, your heart really hurts.

So I usually climb for a while and then look at the floor number, and then respond in my mind: "The sixth floor, only three floors left, will arrive soon." This kind of psychological feeling is very comfortable. I remember several times, when I looked at the building number, I had climbed to the 10 floor or even 1 1 floor, and finally I went down to the ninth floor with ease and pleasure. It can be seen that it feels good to have a goal in mind and run towards it without distractions!

The little beauty who lives on the 9th floor.

In fact, this old house without elevator has also brought me many little things in life!

There are several vegetable fields on the top floor of the house. The mud is picked by the residents who live here in pots, and it smells like vegetables all year round. On weekdays, they come up to water and weed, all for exercise. You know, staying in the city for a long time and having such a small piece of land really eased my attachment to the countryside.

I live on the ninth floor, near the roof. So, on weekends, I will climb up to watch those grandparents grow vegetables. The smell of the farmhouse garden makes me feel particularly cordial. Sometimes I chat with them and listen to their stories.

Then look up at the light rail crossing the bridge and the cars running around, and feel the vitality of a city quietly. Or take photos, read books, take time in the noise, and steal a long time.

Besides. Although it was on the 9th floor, we didn't forget life because we had to climb the stairs!

After dinner every day, I still go downstairs for a walk with my parents and walk to Datianwan Stadium, Lianglukou and even Caiyuanba Railway Station. Feel the smell of mountain cities and fireworks at night. ...

There are also many street shops along the road, crowded with people waiting for dinner. At that time, parents didn't understand why they had to wait in line for dinner. Shang steel slag hot pot, He Wangshi string ... Now I can smell that fragrance when I think about it.

Now, it has been more than four years since we moved down from the ninth floor, but my parents still want to go back and see it from time to time, even if it's just walking in the alley or downstairs. Then I felt very disappointed: how do you have such great perseverance to climb the ninth floor every day?

Ask me, what is the experience and feeling of living on the ninth floor without elevator for two and a half years? I want to say that I feel the same way. Just like many graduates, they did what they would do at that age and experienced experiences that only that age would experience. I compare it to the place where young people's dreams begin. Besides me, many graduates and young people rent there every year to fight for their dreams!

Where was the first house you rented? How do you feel when you recall it now?
