House (short story) Zhang Baotong 2018.6.30

After the incident, he asked me if I knew about Yu Fengjuan. I shook my head and said we hadn't been in touch for two or three years. He told me that Yu Fengjuan was not married to that classmate. I couldn't help but be shocked and asked why. It was just because she wanted to marry someone else that she divorced me. Xu Kai said that after Yu Fengjuan's divorce, they could have gotten married immediately, but their parents disagreed with Yu Fengjuan with their children. Yu Fengjuan was angry, so she blocked her anger and didn't get married, so the marriage between the two has been delayed. A year later, Yu Fengjuan was suddenly diagnosed with breast cancer and almost died. Although his life was saved after the operation, one ** was removed. Therefore, people no longer paid attention to Yu Fengjuan, and soon found a big girl to marry. Yu Fengjuan is still single until now because of her poor health, living in her mother's house with her children. However, because she was disobedient and divorced behind their backs, her parents were very angry with her and often complained about her. She wanted to move out of her parents, but the unit didn't give her a house. So, life is very unpleasant.

When I heard this, my heart began to worry. I know that she has a younger brother and sister, and it will be very inconvenient for her to live in her mother's palm-sized house with her children all day. It just so happens that the house in my school is still empty, so I might as well let her move in. So, I gave Xu Kai the key to the house and asked him to help place Yu Fengjuan in that house. In addition, there is a kindergarten next to the school, so you can put your child in the kindergarten. A few days later, Xu Kai called and said that everything was arranged, which reassured me, but the kindergarten was not easy to enter. I called the principal of the school and asked him to help. The principal said no problem.

However, a few days later, when I came home from work, I saw Cui Xiuling with a gloomy face, and asked in a questioning tone who lived in the house in my school. I think she must have found out. Because her sister is a teacher at school, how can she hide it. I put my arms around her neck and pleaded that the house should be lived in by Yu Fengjuan, because she had no place to live with her children, and she had a serious illness, and everyone almost died, and she couldn't be angry when she got this disease, I was afraid that she would live with her parents and family again, and she would be angry for three days, which would not be good for her health, in case she had three longs and two shorts, what should the child do? Looking at me crying while talking, she didn't say anything, wiped my tears with a tissue, and said very unhappily, "But I don't allow you to see her." "I promised her that I would never meet Yu Fengjuan. She looked at me incredulously and said, "Give me your bank card and I'll keep it for you." ”

I know she still won't believe me, but I know women are like that, they would rather believe money than men. To convince her, I gave her the bank card. But I only gave the ICBC card, which was a salary card. But I didn't give her the CCB card. That's the card I usually use to store my bonuses and manuscript fees.

I want to respect Cui Xiuling's opinion and never meet Yu Fengjuan. However, I still think about her from time to time, thinking about her good and thinking about her bad. However, those bad things made me hate at that time, but after a few years of wear, they have become unremarkable, so instead of hating her, I am very sympathetic and pitiful to her, and always want to help her and comfort her.

Another year later, Xu Kai called and said that the station had built two buildings on the side of Daming Palace in the northern suburbs, and he divided one set, and Yu Fengjuan also divided one set, but I heard that she had no money and couldn't afford to buy a house, so she returned the new house and had to apply to the leader for an old house. I asked how much I would pay for a new house. Xu Kai said that he would probably pay more than 20,000 yuan. I told Xu Kai to ask Yu Fengjuan to ask for a new house, because the old house was too small, only thirty or forty square meters, and the new house was at least more than sixty square meters. Saying that, I asked Xu Kai to come over. Xu Kai came, and I gave him my CCB card, which contained more than 8,000 yuan, which was the bonus and manuscript fee I had saved in the past few years. In addition, I borrowed another $4,000 in cash from my colleague, which totaled more than $12,000. Let him transfer the money to Yu Fengjuan, and let her borrow some more from her parents and sisters if she doesn't have enough money.

One afternoon, a month later, I was eating in my office and looking at my computer when the office phone rang. Others said they were looking for me. I picked up the phone and asked who you are. However, the other side did not speak for a long time, and then I heard what looked like a woman sobbing. I was stunned, and I knew that it was Yu Fengjuan, I said, "Xiaojuan, is it you?" she answered, and the cry became louder. She said, "Juncheng, I'm sorry for you. I said, "Don't say that, have you bought the house?" she said, "I've bought it, I've dressed it up, I've moved in." The key to the school's house has been brought to you by Xu Kai. I said, "That house is for the children, and it is considered as my child support." "There aren't that many child supports." I said, "I will save as much as I can for my child, and when my son grows older, he will have to go to elementary school, middle school, high school, and maybe college, and he will need a lot of money." But she said, "I don't want to trouble you." I said, "What's the trouble, that's our son." ”

After another two years, I was promoted to deputy director of the district party committee office, and the unit built a large house on Fengcheng Eighth Road, and gave me a large house of 120 square meters with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, because of the subsidy, the house only paid 100,000 yuan. Cui Xiuling was very happy, we took out part of the money we had saved over the years and paid the house money. After the house was divided, we found someone to renovate it, and then moved inside. I have never lived in such a big and beautiful house, it feels like living in a palace. So, the day I moved into the house, I always felt like I was dreaming. At the same time, I was also thinking that this house was originally lived with Yu Fengjuan, but she didn't have that life, so I could only live with Cui Xiuling.
