After the Spring Festival, it heralds a new beginning and a new starting point. And I will also enter the embarrassing age of 27 years old.

Looking back on the past 27 years, I can't say that I have always achieved nothing, at least at my age, I have done many things worthy of myself and people who have expectations of me.

I've been depressed, I've been progressive, I've been ridiculous, I've been down-to-earth. Although the process of life is full of bitterness and helplessness, it is colorful, and sometimes there are many unexpected surprises, which is why people are so looking forward to tomorrow.

As I drove over a few lanes and watched the busy pedestrians, I knew that after the New Year, people would let go of their playfulness and get back to their homework.

… …

When I returned home, I found that my mother was the only one at home, and my father and old man were nowhere to be seen. Although every time I go home to face my mother, I am inevitably apprehensive, but my home always gives me a warm sense of belonging.

I walked over to the couch in the living room, threw my car keys on the coffee table, and lay down on the couch as if I was paralyzed.

"Mom, why are you alone at home, Dad and the old man?"

"Your dad took your dad out for a walk... Sit up, and I'll ask you something. "My mom came over with a clear plastic bag with a lot of small notebooks in it.

"What's the matter?" I sat up.

"Did your master give you a passbook with 300,000 in it?"

I nodded, "yes, what's wrong?"

"If you spend it, take it out if you don't spend it. ”

"I don't have tweed, I don't dare to move a minute. ”

I got up from the couch again and took out the 300,000 passbook that the old man had given me from my room.

Although I don't know why my mother wanted me to take out the passbook, the money always had to be returned to the old man. This is the life savings of the old man and my late grandmother, and no matter how much I am a bastard, I can't spend it at will.

I handed my passbook to my mother, sat back on the sofa and said, "No, I haven't dared to spend this 300,000 yuan!"

My mother flipped through the passbook, found another similar passbook from the transparent plastic bag, looked at me and said, "Xiuwen, Mom has discussed something with you." ”

"Hey, say it!"

"Look, you're 27 too... You also know your father's physical condition, and his biggest wish now is to hope that you can start a family... You just give your mother a clear word, whether you and Yiyi are serious, or just you young people's fun. ”

I looked at her with some surprise, because she rarely said such explicit words in front of me. In fact, I don't need my mother to ask, I have already thought about the matter with Su Yi in my heart.

If I can, I would like to have a family with Su Yi, and I know that Su Yi is also willing. It's just that between us, there is still a Su family. Because I have achieved nothing, it is impossible for the Su family to accept me as a quasi-aunt, and even in their hearts, I am not even a quasi-aunt.

But in order not to disappoint my mother and stop breaking the hearts of my family, I definitely replied: "Mom, you don't have to doubt my sincerity to Su Yi, and you don't have to doubt Su Yi, we are all serious." ”

My mother nodded with satisfaction, and she said again: "There is one thing, I believe your father also mentioned to you, is the matter of buying a house..."

As she spoke, she put the two passbooks in my hand: "Here, there are more than 600,000 in total." Now I buy a two-bedroom apartment of 120 square meters here in the city, and it will be more than 1 million. You take this money first to give the down payment first, and the rest will be mortgaged... But it's up to you to pay the mortgage, and your parents can only help you so much. ”

"Mom~" I refused to accept this money for a long time, because all this money was the hard-earned money that my parents and the old man had worked hard to save, and every cent carried how many sleepless days and nights they had earned.

I have my own hands and feet, how dare I ask for their money to buy a house!

When my mother saw that I didn't want it, she smiled and said, "This money is not given to you for free, you still have to pay it back when the time comes... Haven't you opened a few small hotels in your hometown now? I heard Yiyi say that the business there is not bad, so you can do tourism there in a down-to-earth manner, and it is not too late to slowly return it to your parents when you have money. ”

I shook my head: "Mom, don't you support me in doing tourism in Moon Bay?"

"I don't support it, but have you listened? Okay, don't talk about this, you take the money, your father and I have already taken care of the house for you, and someone will take you to see it when the time comes, if you are satisfied, you can buy it." ”

My mom shoved the money into my hand, and my hand hung in the air, unable to move for a long time.

"Mom, this money..."

"Alright, alright... Son, you remember. No matter how rich and illustrious Yiyi's family is. As men, according to the traditional rules, the money to buy a house should be paid by us... Although we can't buy a mansion, we have to do the rules and regulations. You can't make people laugh at it, do you understand?"

After listening to my mother's words, my heart was filled with endless bitterness. I've been working for so many years, and I still have to rely on them to buy a house. I clutched the two passbooks tightly, but I couldn't say a word in my heart.

Before, I thought my mom was distrustful of me by opposing me going back to the tourism industry. Today I learned that in fact, she has always believed in my son, but in her eyes, stability is much more important than everything.

I'm so much of a bastard that I always let them worry about my business. But this time, I don't want to disappoint them again, I have to take the money, and I have to buy the house, so that at least they can have some peace of mind...

"Xiuwen, this is the phone number of the real estate agent, tomorrow you and Yiyi will go to their side to see the house, the two of them will discuss it, and if they think there is no problem, they will give the down payment first. My mom handed me a business card from the clear plastic bag.

I took the business card, looked at it and said, "Mom, I'll just go to see the house by myself tomorrow." Su Yi is still on a business trip abroad, so I'll just talk to her when the time comes. ”

"Hmph, you stupid son. My mother snorted coldly: "Yiyi should be boarding the plane soon, you can drive to Guangzhou to pick her up later." ”

"What, Mom, what are you talking about?"

"I told Yiyi about this a long time ago, and she said that she would come back today and accompany you to see the house tomorrow. ”

I looked at my mother speechlessly, she really did her best to buy a suite for this.

"Mom, people have a lot of work to do, and buying a house is not a big deal. You made a phone call so casually to ask her to come back, didn't you want to make trouble for Su Yi. ”

"What do you mean to let her come back casually, isn't it a big deal to see the house? In the future, you will live together, and of course the two of you must agree to buy a house, otherwise you will have to make trouble at that time... Mom is all for your good. ”

Seeing that my mother's temper is about to come up again, I finally went home and saw that she was not angry, and I couldn't find a nail at a critical moment.

I softened my attitude: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

"That's pretty much it!"

… …

After putting away my mother's passbook, I went out to the old man to discuss the matter with my father.

In the evening, I received a strange local phone call, and after I connected it, I realized that it was Su Yi's assistant who called me.

The assistant told me that Su Yi was almost in Guangzhou. Let me go to her to pick up the car and pick up Su Yi at the Guangzhou airport. Then he told me not to forget the little surprise I told Su Yi at the beginning.

When I heard the surprise, I was overwhelmed. Because the surprise I said was a month after she came back, but I had already promised her that when she returned to China, I would give her a small surprise, and I couldn't break my promise.

At this moment, I thought of a country. Because he is the love saint in my heart, maybe it will be more reliable to ask him.

I drove Suyi's car out of her company and dialed a country's phone.

After a few rings, a country is connected.

"Ichikoku, I want to ask you... What did you do to please those women before?"

Maybe I was too anxious, I didn't say it too clearly, and before I finished speaking, I attracted a scolding from a country: "Zhai Xiuwen, you are interesting or not, can you not mention those old things?"

I explained, "I'm not here to have fun with you, I'm in a hurry! For example, how did you surprise your girlfriends before. ”

There was silence for a while, and then he said, "Throwing money, what brand-name bags, diamond necklaces or something..."

"Okay, I see. That's it for now. ”

"Wait... What am I doing here?"

"It's nothing, hang up first. ”

I hung up on a country and looked at the time, and now I still have some time to prepare a gift. But now I have to go to the bank to see how much money I have left in my card first, and then think about what to buy...

Before coming to the ATM, I checked how much money I had made in the days I had been back in Moon Bay.

It's okay not to look at it, but it's really shocking to see it.

In a small off-season, I already had more than 50,000 yuan in my bank card, and if I hadn't bought a gift for Su Yi today, I really didn't know that I had saved so much money.

After collecting the bank card, I drove Suyi's Q7 to the shopping mall. After a few selections, I came across a Hermès shoulder bag.

I remember when I had a conflict with her at that time, in order to thank Yao Shan for helping to clear up the misunderstanding between us, she proposed to buy such a bag for Yao Shan.

But then because I said something, the matter was over.

I saw this shoulder bag here again today, I think Su Yi should like it, after all, women like these bags, so I don't want to hesitate, just buy this shoulder bag...
