2019.11.18

The temperature is 1~10 degrees.

Clear.

When I opened my eyes, there was a familiar ceiling.

The house had begun to heat up, but Lethe's bedroom was not very warm.

He still woke up from the cold today.

Maybe it's because he used to sleep with the window open at night?

As is customary, he picked up his phone first and looked at it.

10:37

The next thing is to log on to the mobile phone QQ to see what is happening in the group.

Luckily, it's business as usual.

A few people left the group, a few people joined the group, and it was still 99+ news.

He familiarly quit QQ, and then got up to wash.

I'm going out to eat at noon today, because my friend moved to a new house for dinner, and he wants to go to his friend's new house for dinner.

Half an hour later, when I arrived at the place, five or six of the eight or nine friends left in Lethe's house came.

The rest of them probably won't be here - they haven't been together for a long time since they got married and even had children.

In the WeChat group, which used to have news every day, now there are only sporadic messages every three or five times.

No way, everyone is married.

Maybe in another year or two, Lethe will lose all his friends and immerse himself in his own world.

Maybe that's "growth".

After more than an hour of hard work, my friend made a table full of dishes.

It can be seen that he is very happy, after all, he and his girlfriend who have been talking for three years will get married on May Day next year.

But they didn't drink.

After the meal, several people smoked in the living room while playing cards.

The three friends were full of emotion, and the houses they bought were all in the same neighborhood.

At the beginning, two people bought it first, and the house price was about 5100.

But that was two years ago.

Now the house price in the same neighborhood is 11,000.

Several people began to laugh at the third person.

At the beginning, he said that he would never buy a house in his life, but after talking about his girlfriend, he still came to buy a house honestly.

However, his family has money, and he directly made up 800,000 yuan for him, and he only has to repay the mortgage for ten or twenty years, and repay 1,300 every month.

Everyone is laughing at him, if he bought a house two years ago, the 800,000 yuan will not only allow him to pay the house in full, but even buy more BMW or Benchi.

Nowadays, you can only make a down payment.

But it's good, at least there's not much pressure on him.

After that, he talked about the third and fourth phases in the community, saying that the houses had all been sold, and 80% of them were the full amount.

But when passing by at night, the sporadic lights indicate that the occupancy rate here is less than 30%.

And with an average salary of more than 3,000 in Luoyang, it costs more than one million to buy a house in full.

Who buys the house?

"What the hell is a house flipping dog!"

Everyone squirts together.

At this rate, by the end of 20, housing prices are estimated to stabilize at 15,000.

Then they began to rejoice that they had bought the house and prayed that the house price would not plummet, so that they would lose a lot.

Lethe and two other friends were laughing and not talking.

They are the kind of people who don't have the money to buy a house.

It doesn't matter if it's a million, or if it's a million and a half million, it's the same for them.

Two years ago, when they started building a subway in the local area and all the urban villages began to be demolished, they knew that housing prices were going to rise.

But everyone has no money.

So everyone watched the house price double in a year, and the house thing ...... I don't want to.

Today there is wine and today is drunk, and everyone has become a moonlight clan.

Anyway, if you don't look for a partner, why care about the house?

Talking about this, everyone naturally stopped talking about sex.

People who have money in their families naturally don't sit here.

The people sitting here have their own sufferings.

I bought a house a few years ago, I owe foreign debts, and I often laugh at myself for being millions in debt.

Yes, they calculated that if you take out a loan of 600,000 yuan, including interest, you will have to repay 1 million in 30 years.

The monthly mortgage costs 2,500 yuan.

In a place where wages average a little over 3,000, this is indeed a burden.

Fortunately, there are two of them to pay it together, and since they started to pay off the mortgage, their girlfriends are not so willful, and it seems that everyone has grown up overnight.

The other friend was not so happy.

He is a small manager, and he and his girlfriend have a combined income of 9,000 yuan a month, but because of the late purchase of the house and the short repayment period, they have to repay 10,000 yuan every month.

Fortunately, there is also the support of both parents for thousands of dollars per month.

The most chic is Lethe and two other friends.

They can't afford to buy a house, they don't want to buy a house, they have to get by, and they just mess around for a day.

They ridiculed those friends who had mortgages on their backs, they didn't dare to resign, the leader slapped your left cheek, and you had to put your right cheek up to let people fan it.

You've got to get a flattering smile and make people fan.

They ridiculed Lethe for not having a house, and they couldn't find a partner in the future.

At this time, Lechuan showed out WeChat and proudly said that he was going on a blind date in the afternoon, who said that he couldn't find a partner?

With the apparent scolding of his friends, but with the actual blessing of his friends, he left.

Grandma is waiting for him at home, and he wants to accompany grandma to the blind date's house.

Speaking of this is also interesting.

Lethe's grandmother was a Christian, and most of the believers there were such elderly people.

Every weekend, a group of old men and women get together and ask if your grandchildren, boys and girls, are single.

If you are single, just say that the children will meet and see.

Many of Lethe's blind dates came to this way.

But basically nothing happened.

This blind date is different.

Because she came back from studying abroad.

I heard that it was Fuso or a certain country in Eastern Europe, and I learned a small foreign language.

He is currently working in a foreign trade company.

Her entire family was Christian.

On the way there, my grandmother told Lechuan that when people asked you if you were religious, you would say yes, but you were too busy to go to church often—people wanted to find a family who was also religious.

Lethe smiled and asked, "Isn't this a lie?"

Grandma glared at him: "I pray for you every day, I pray that the Lord will let you find a good girl, your cousin's children are about to be born, why are you not in a hurry as the eldest son and eldest grandson? You are almost thirty!"

Lechuan smiled and didn't speak.

When I arrived at the place, the other party was also very polite.

Grandma was chatting with her old sister in the church, and Lethe looked at the girl across from her boredly.

It's not pretty.

But it's not that ugly.

It's the kind of appearance that you will forget when you see it.,It's similar to Lethe himself.。

But the other party's dress temperament, you can see, is the kind that has seen the market.

"I've seen the market" is my grandmother's original painting.

Don't say it to the other party, that's it.

He had also mixed with Shen X in the capital before, and the ratio of school-age girls in that place was 2:8.

There are too many girls like that.

Why this ratio?

Because at the age of thirty, men who knew that they could not stop in such a big city that did not belong to them were disheartened and chose to go to a worse city, or return to their home provincial capital.

Only the girls remained, hoping to stay for the rest of their lives.

After that, the grandmothers chatted happily, so they asked Lechuan to take the girl out to sit.

They came to Starbucks and found a window seat.

Lethe ordered a Frappuccino, and the girl ordered a latte.

After that, they were speechless.

In the middle of the night, just as Lethe was brewing words, the girl took the lead in speaking: "We don't have a show, I just came here perfunctory for my grandmother." ”

Lethe didn't speak.

It seemed that Lethe was silent, and the girl opened the conversation: "I came back from Spain, there are not so many jobs in Los Angeles that are suitable for me, and now I can only get more than 3,000 a month, but I spent six figures on studying abroad." I am unwilling and want to go to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. ”

Lethe still didn't speak.

The girl began to ask Lethe's occupation.

He said that he was a jobless vagrant, writing and eating on the Internet.

It's good to starve to death, and it's quite chic to be alone.

The girl felt strange, and she said I heard that you had been in the capital before, why did you come back?

"Because I don't belong there. ”

"Why?"

"I was rootless duckweed there, and I still felt better at home. ”

The big city is like an endless sea of suffering, and there is darkness ahead.

It's also like a mountain of knives, when you climb halfway up the mountain, you find that there is a sea of fire in front of you.

Some people choose moths to fight the fire, although it is short-lived, but it is gorgeous.

Some people have to break because they don't have a home, and it's a cliff to turn back.

Lethe Chuan chose to give up, turned back and went ashore to silently lick the wounds all over his body.

The girl didn't think that Lechuan was a vagrant, and even she was quite envious of Lechuan because he wrote it.

She also thinks Lechuan is quite literary.

This kind of melancholy youth with a little literary and artistic is also quite attractive to some girls.

Especially this kind of girl who thinks she is a petty bourgeoisie.

"Do you want to go together again? ”

The girl invited Lethe.

It can be seen that she has a little bit of a good impression of Lethe.

"Nope. ”

Lethe refused.

Because he knows what he wants.

If his life was divided into ten parts, seven of them were given, and he preferred to immerse himself in the world of his own story.

Only less than three servings were given to others.

The girl he needs is the kind of girl who doesn't need to talk too much, doesn't get angry with all kinds of trouble, and will give him a cup of hot tea in the morning after he has coded words all night in the middle of the night, and then the two of them look at each other and smile.

He didn't need anyone to enter his heart and open the walls that had been forged outside his heart.

He just needs someone to be there for each other.

This girl is clearly not.

"Then I'll be gone the day after tomorrow, can you say that you don't have a crush on me? I don't want to listen to my family's nagging. "The girl is very sincere.

"Of course, no problem. Lethe smiled: "I wish you a smooth journey." ”

When I went back, I saw the girl go upstairs, and when I waited for my grandmother to come down, I took out my cigarette, took out a ZIPPO lighter and lit it three times.

The wind was too strong and the fire was not lit.

When Grandma came down, she asked how it was.

Fang Bei shrugged: "This girl is good at everything, but it's not suitable." ”

"Then when will you find a partner? Your grandfather and I still want to hold our great-grandson before we die. ”

"Isn't my brother about to give birth? ”

"No, you are the eldest son and eldest grandson. ”

"Soon, I'll get married when I meet the right one. ”

As the wind gradually increased, Lechuan took off his scarf and wrapped it around his grandmother's neck, and the two of them walked home together.

He sneezed, and a tear welled up in the corner of his eye.

He erased it, then sneeze again and shrunk his neck.

Grandma took off her scarf and put it around his neck.

The rough, cold hand touched his neck, stirring him.

Looking at his grandmother's white hair and slightly cloudy eyes that were full of his own reflection, Fang Bei suddenly felt that the way home was a little unclear.

"What's wrong?" asked Grandma.

"Nothing. Fang Bei replied, "The wind is a bit strong, I guess it's going to snow soon." ”
