See Changsha City again prose

"Manyaozi, hurry up, Tianxin Pavilion is ahead." My father held my little hand and prepared to walk all the way down from Yuelu Mountain, but I remained motionless, looking at my father with open arms. , "I want to ride a high horse!" As soon as my father's tall body squatted down, I climbed up hard.

"Why are you kicking me?" my husband asked me sleepily.

"I dreamed again. I dreamed that my father took me back to Changsha, where he lived when he was a child." I gasped.

We are all passers-by in this mortal world, and the luggage on our backs is filled with the taste of the world and is so heavy that it bends our waists.

“Mom, I have to pay the rent.”

“Mom, my roommates have all found boyfriends. When the house expires, I have to rent a house alone. The rent is 30,000 yuan a year. "

My husband shouted loudly from the side: "You should also find a boyfriend and get married as soon as possible."

I rolled my eyes at my husband: "You are kidding me. You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. My Qier is still young and has just started her life. Besides, marriage must be based on fate. ."

Working outside is not an option after all: "Don't worry about my baby, I'll buy you a house in Changsha." As soon as I finished speaking, I was shocked. One jump.

“Mom, didn’t our family just buy a big house? How can we still have the money to buy a house in Changsha.”

“You don’t have to worry about money. As for us adults, your job is to work with peace of mind."

"As for where to buy a house, it's up to you to decide in this big city of Changsha. You are a scholar, and your thinking is better than my mother's. Ten thousand times. When you have time, you can look around and tell your mother if you like anything. "I just stopped patting my chest and hung up the phone before I realized the seriousness of the matter.

Where’s the money? Where to get money? !

In Qier’s eyes, I have always been the mother who is true to her words and resolute in her deeds.

I started to have trouble sleeping, all I could think about was money. It was only at this time that I realized that I was more vulgar than anyone else, and I had never been as eager for money as I am now. I can't break my promise to my Qier, I have to find a way to get the money as soon as possible.

I couldn’t sleep anyway, so I started to use my imagination wildly.

If a bunch of money fell from the sky and hit me in the head, would I be willing? I rejected this idea as quickly as possible. How can you talk about health if your head is injured? If a person has lost his health, what's the point of asking for money.

If there was a large sum of money that someone else had lost on the ground, would I jump to pick it up? I shook my head firmly. As the saying goes: A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way, and cannot take ill-gotten wealth.

Should you ask others to borrow money? In this age of mutual distrust, who would be willing to lend you their money? What's more, people nowadays don't understand how to think from someone else's perspective. Who would believe that you have no money?

Buy a ticket? Yes, just buy the ticket, maybe I will win five million. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and the more I thought about it, the more excited I became, almost losing my temper.

Soon I was like a deflated rubber ball. For so many years, in a small place like ours, I have never heard of anyone winning the jackpot. Is it possible with my IQ? !

This will not work, and that will not work. The only thing that can work is to sell the old house as soon as possible and continue to display my spirit of hard work, simplicity and frugality.

I originally thought that Qier would return to Lianyang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to work after graduating from university, and the family would have a great time together. The car was driven by her and the old house was rented out.

The only fault is that I have no vision and see the problem in a single way. The big house was bought and people lived in it. Even all the layouts in the house were arranged according to Qier's ideas. In the end, she is no longer working beside me. Do you think the house can be warm and comfortable? !

My husband’s words are still fresh in my mind: “The purpose of sending a child to study is to let her develop outside, and the situation will be much bigger.”

Now the situation is big, including food and accommodation. But it has become the most realistic problem.

Qier’s salary, which she had just started working for, was pitifully low, not enough to cover her three meals a day. Not to mention the rent and other expenses, we can only help pay for them. Unlike boys, girls can be left alone. They have to rent a community with a reliable environment and safety. They would rather be more expensive, but also want to live in peace of mind.

No mother would not feel distressed by the flesh that fell off her body. In the past few months when she was working outside, I became more and more distressed. The only way was to buy her a house so that I could visit her often and cook delicious meals for her.

They say that girls will get married sooner or later, and if they want to buy a house, the man will buy it, but I don’t think so. They are both only children, so who is the male and female? What's ours will still be hers a hundred years later? What life does not bring, death does not take away.

Besides, there is no everlasting love in the world. Be it a boy or a girl, you only really have it if you have it. Whether you are a boy or a girl, you have to rely on yourself. Get into a good university, find a good job, and live a comfortable life based on your own abilities. This is the perfection in life.

I admire Qier’s ability and style of doing things. It didn’t take long before she really fell in love with a real estate project. If she couldn't tell which was good or bad, I reminded her to look at a few more properties. If she didn't win the lottery here, she could continue to lottery in other places.

The dedicated Qier didn’t want anywhere else but this property. She analyzed the advantages of this property for me, and we also drove to see it. We thought it was okay.

I, Qier, handled all the preparation, submission of information, and submission of funds.

It only took a week to register the funds and draw the number. Facing the price list sent through WeChat, I calculated it carefully, for fear of losing it somewhere.

The closer it gets to the day of house lottery, the more excited Qier becomes: "Mom, will you come to the house lottery? This time there are only 164 suites, but there are seven There were more than a hundred people drawing numbers, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to win.”

“Then don’t buy here, it’s not cheap, the average price of a rough house is 12,000 yuan.” I soon found myself saying. Wrong words: "My baby Ji Ren has his own fortune, and he will definitely win the number."

"As for luck, the luck between me and your father is so bad that I am embarrassed to mention it again. "

"For the first house, there were more than 1,600 houses in Dairy Mountain and Xianren Pavilion. Everyone thought that your father had chosen the number 1,357. The building can be used as a facade. After choosing the first floor of Niu Niu Shan community, then the first floor of Xianren Pavilion community, and then the second and fifth floors. In the end, no one wants the third and fourth floors. I would rather have the sixth floor. The fourth floor is a bit more expensive, otherwise we wouldn’t have chosen the third floor.”

“The second apartment, there are 768 houses in the second phase of Gangdu Garden, and the total price is only 400. When I came to choose a room, I chose number 259. If they hadn’t thought it was too close to the factory, we wouldn’t have had so much room to choose.”

“This time it’s you. I bought a house in the name of such a large state-owned enterprise, so it’s not our turn to do the lottery.”

At six o’clock in the evening, Qi’er, who had already arrived at the scene, called again: “Mom, I’m still nervous. ! Afraid of not being able to win the lottery? "Are you nervous? Who are you trying to fool me, my baby? Why did you pass the exam at the age of fifteen and a half? I have taken the independent admissions examination before.”

“Do you still remember the independent admissions examination of Hunan University? There are more than 1,700 candidates taking the English major, including students from the four major universities. . During the written examination, you ranked among the top 170 and were successfully shortlisted for the interview."

"When you just turned 18, you took the driver's license test, and many doctors and teachers were panicked. If you fail the test, you pass it every time."

"Be careful of the silly things your mother says about you not being able to draw the number. She will come over when you pay the down payment. , It's all your own business."

"Okay! Mom."

Although I said it a little bit coldly, my heart never stopped. Praying for her, I believe she will be able to choose a good house of her choice.

At the critical moment of lottery selection, the three of us were in different places. Qier was at the scene, I was at home, my husband was on duty at school, and the family was always interacting in the WeChat group.

I can deeply feel Qier’s excitement and nervousness at home.

As expected of a state-owned enterprise, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and the lottery for house selection began at seven o'clock in the evening.

News from Qier came from the WeChat group: There are ten people in each round, and my name was not included in the first round. I didn’t have my name in the second round, and I still didn’t have my name in the third and fourth rounds.

My nerves immediately became tense at that moment. I seemed to see Qier's disappointed expression, but I was calmly uttering the same words as my husband in my hand, encouraging her.

I don’t know what happened in the sixth and seventh rounds, and there was no news from Qier. Before I could react, it was probably the eighth round, Qier said in the WeChat group: "The floor I wanted was still there when I first entered. I thought I had to go in order, but when I realized it, it was... I chose this floor immediately after letting others choose it.”

After confirming that she had chosen the house, I was as happy as if I had won the first prize.

Today, I really cracked a lens that frequently appears in my dreams. I often dreamed that I lived in a strange house. I don't know why I have such a dream. I have already moved into a new big house.

Now, I finally understand that during my father’s lifetime, I “went back” to Changsha City, a place where my father’s fireworks burned.
