Ma Dongbao quickly walked into a community with his schoolbag on his back. It is an old neighborhood that is the family area of Seikyo University. It's shabby, but it's in a good location, in the heart of the city.

Ma Dongbao's home is located in a 6-storey dilapidated building in the community, in fact, most of the buildings in this community are this dilapidated 6-storey building, only a small part of the southeast corner, after the real estate developer demolished, rebuilt the commercial office building and some high-rise commercial buildings.

After Ma Dongbao returned home, his parents had already returned home.

Seeing Ma Dongbao push the door in, father Ma Mingyuan and mother Tang Liyun were very surprised, because Ma Dongbao rarely comes home so early, and most of the time is usually left by the teachers after school to make up for homework, Ma Dongbao never takes the initiative to write the homework assigned by the teacher.

"Dongbao, why did you come back so early today? Did you sneak back by yourself?" asked Ma Mingyuan with a long face.

"Didn't sneak away. Ma Dongbao replied reluctantly, not wanting to say a word.

Ma Mingyuan, male, 49 years old, was also a graduate of a prestigious university, and is now a lecturer in human resource management at the School of Economics and Management of Xijing University.

49 years old or still a lecturer?

Speaking of job titles, Ma Mingyuan was angry. Ma Mingyuan is the kind of person who has an upright personality and can't read words and feelings. Every time I evaluate the title, when I don't get to Ma Mingyuan, I naturally can't get it.

finally got to Ma Mingyuan, due to the limited number of places, he was always cut in line by some people who would be sent to the back and left and right.

Due to the problem of professional title, Ma Mingyuan lost a lot. The biggest loss is the house.

Originally, when Ma Mingyuan first joined the work, Xijing University still allocated houses to faculty and staff. Due to the large number of people and the small number of rooms, everyone still has to queue up.

When he was young, he couldn't be ranked, and Ma Mingyuan also recognized it, but he was getting older and older, and he was getting married, and Ma Mingyuan was anxious. But it's useless to be anxious, due to the limited availability of housing, it is not possible to queue up according to the registration time, and you need to queue up according to the title.

By the time Ma Mingyuan made up his mind to prepare for the evaluation, the housing policy had been reformed, and the school would no longer allocate housing to teachers and staff, and everyone could only buy commercial housing.

Ma Mingyuan was angry and stopped preparing for the evaluation.

In this way, he could have caught up with the last wave of house division, but due to various reasons, Ma Mingyuan did not get a house. But how can commercial housing be afforded if you buy it?

Ma Mingyuan is a college student who has just graduated, and his family comes from the countryside. I saved up for a long time just for the down payment, and when I finally saved almost enough, the house price went up again.

In this way, the money Ma Mingyuan saves every year is not enough to increase the rate of housing prices. Ma Mingyuan was angry and invested his money in the stock market, hoping to take it out to buy a house when it doubled.

But who would have thought about it, there is no need to think about doubling, even the principal is cut in half and then cut in half, leaving only a quarter of the time when it was invested.

Later, he simply remained in the stock market.

Later, he really became an older young man, and he was introduced to Tang Liyun, so he got married and has been renting a house.

Even with Ma Dongbao, he has been renting a house for a long time.

Later, housing prices rose all the way, and people were shocked. When the children are older, the total rental is not a thing.

Tang Liyun borrowed some money from her parents, and Ma Mingyuan's principal in the stock market recovered some losses, and only after selling it all did she barely make a down payment and take out a loan to buy this old and dilapidated house.

The house is second-hand, only 60 square meters, 2 bedrooms, located on the top floor 6 floors, no elevator.

Interestingly, this community is the family area of the original Xijing University, and the original owner of this house entered Xijing University at the same time as Ma Mingyuan, and caught the last train to get the house.

After the housing reform policy came down, 30,000 yuan was paid, and the property rights of the house belonged to the individual.

Many years later, the original owner bought a bigger house, and Ma Mingyuan bought the house for 1.8 million.

How can it rise so much? No way, housing prices have risen like rockets in recent years, plus it is school district housing.

In this way, Ma Mingyuan paid 60 times more price, drained all his previous savings, and took out the loan for the rest of his life.

How to balance Ma Mingyuan's heart? often sigh that life is impermanent, and creation makes people!

Although it took a lot of money to have her own house, Tang Liyun had no imbalance in her heart, on the contrary, she was very content, and finally had her own house and a solid home.

Sometimes it's hard to understand how important a house is to a woman's psychological security and sense of belonging!

Tang Liyun, 5 years younger than Ma Mingyuan, is 44 years old this year, and is currently working as a nurse in the hospital.

Seeing the unpleasant communication between the father and son, Tang Liyun immediately comforted: "My son finally came back early, you eat some fruit first, and Mom will make something to eat for you." ”

After Tang Liyun brought the food to the table, it was rare for the family of three to sit together to eat so early.

When eating, Ma Dongbao usually eats with his head bored and doesn't say a word.

Every time Ma Mingyuan provoked to speak, anyone who had anything to do with Ma Dongbao was either pushed back by Ma Dongbao or responded with silence, making it difficult for Ma Mingyuan to continue.

Unless Ma Mingyuan and Tang Liyun chat by themselves, they can continue.

Today, Tang Liyun saw that her son came back early rarely, and kept sandwiching meat and vegetables into Ma Dongbao's bowl, Ma Dongbao neither stopped nor thanked him, and every time he brought in some, Ma Dongbao pulled the meat and rice into his mouth together.

Ma Dongbao is almost finished eating a bowl of rice, he has not served a dish once, and Tang Liyun has not eaten a little bit of rice in his own bowl.

Ma Mingyuan couldn't stand it anymore, and said sharply: "Don't pick up vegetables for him, he has his own hands, let him clip it himself." ”

Tang Liyun smiled, picked up another piece of meat and put it into Ma Mingyuan's bowl, and said, "You can eat quickly, you can't stop your mouth when you eat." ”

Ma Mingyuan was unhappy in the unit during the day, and when he came home at night, the family couldn't eat a pleasant meal.

Tang Liyun was not surprised, as long as she saw her son and husband can eat the food she cooked, she was very happy. Always make every meal with care.

"Dongbao, I heard that the college entrance examination is going to be reformed, is there any movement in your school?" Tang Liyun saw that the father and son were silent, and took the initiative to provoke the topic and break the silence.

"Well, I heard, there will be a supernatural index test tomorrow. Ma Dongbao bowed his head and responded while eating.

"I heard that if you pass this supernatural index test, you can go to college without exams, is it true?" Tang Liyun's tone was full of excitement and anticipation.

"Yes, that's right. Ma Dongbao replied expressionlessly.

"Then you should prepare well and try to pass the test, so that you can also go to college!" Tang Liyun encouraged Ma Dongbao.

"Yes, I see. Ma Dongbao didn't know why, the news that was originally very exciting was just not happy to talk about it at home.

The reason came, Ma Mingyuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said disdainfully: "If he can pass the supernatural index test, unless the sun hits the west and comes out." ”

"What do you say?" Tang Liyun immediately said dissatisfied, "It's okay if you don't give your child some encouragement, you always hit your child, is there such a father as you?"

"Just like his bear, what kind of supernatural test can he pass? That's specially set up for people with special talents, do you think he can have any special talents? He can't do anything except eat and sleep!" Ma Mingyuan was a little excited, "I don't know how to study hard all day, and I still want to take shortcuts, how can there be so many shortcuts for you to take?" Tell you that the probability of going to college through the college entrance examination is much higher than passing the supernatural index test!"

"What are you talking about?" Tang Liyun hurriedly played a round, "You are a person, you have lived for almost 50 years, and you haven't learned to speak yet." Can't you say something nice and encourage your child?"

"What are you encouraging? Tell lies at work during the day, and when you get home at night, you still have to tell lies, are you tired?" Ma Mingyuan raised his voice significantly.

Ma Dongbao pulled the last bite of rice in the bowl into his mouth and threw the chopsticks on the bowl. Chopsticks jumped up from the bowl and fell to the ground.

Ma Dongbao turned his head and entered his room, and then there was a heavy banging on the door.

"Look at this kid, you can't say a word now, your temper is bigger than anyone else's, it's all your habit. Ma Mingyuan said angrily, "I don't know how to study hard all day long, my grades are not good, and there are a lot of bad problems." ”

"Okay, the child has already returned to the house, don't pretend, you father and son are really pinching together. Tang Liyun said calmly, "The child doesn't study well, you may not know the reason, he is sick!"

"Is he sick?" Ma Mingyuan looked at Tang Liyun in surprise, "What's wrong with him?"

"He had pain paranoia, which means that every time he studyed, he imagined that a certain part of his body was in pain, and I took it to our hospital and was diagnosed. The reason why I didn't tell you before was because I was afraid that you would be as worried as I was. Tang Liyun said calmly.

"What kind of illness is this? Does it hurt when he is studying?"

"When he went to the hospital for examination, all the indicators were normal, but his psychology would feel that a certain part of his body hurt, which is a kind of neurosis, and he can't help himself. ”

"How could he get this disease?" Ma Mingyuan looked anxious.

"I think it may be that when he was a kid, he had an occasional stomach ache or a headache or something like that, so we didn't let him do his homework. He seems to have discovered this rule, and if he doesn't want to do his homework in the future, he will pretend that a certain part of his body is in pain, and we will not let him do his homework. Every time he didn't want to do his homework, he imagined that he was in pain, and over time, it became like this. ”

"Then is there any cure for this disease?" Ma Mingyuan was obviously not calm in his heart, and began to panic.

"There is no better way, the doctor said that he can only try to make him less stimulated in the future, and when the stimulus disappears, that is, when he graduates in the future, he will not have to do his homework, which may be better." So you see, I don't usually force him to do his homework. ”

"I'm sorry, I blamed you before, and I kept saying that you spoiled him. Ma Mingyuan apologized, and then immediately became worried, "But he is like this, he doesn't study hard, can he do it after graduation?"

"It seems that the road of learning is not going to work. Tang Liyun said calmly, "In fact, as long as I watch my son grow up healthy every day, I will be satisfied." ”

"Huh, maybe......" Ma Mingyuan wanted to speak again, hesitated for a long time and then said, "Maybe you can go to college without taking the college entrance examination, such as passing this supernatural index test." ”

"Who just said don't think about taking shortcuts?" Tang Liyun said with a smile, "This college entrance examination reform may really be an opportunity for our Dongbao, there is always one more choice and hope!"

"Do you think your son can pass such a test?" asked Ma Mingyuan suspiciously.

"I will definitely pass the test, I believe in our son!" Tang Liyun said firmly, "Do you have confidence in your son?"

Looking at Tang Liyun's determined eyes, Ma Mingyuan was obviously infected, "I also believe that my son will definitely be able to pass the test!"

Tang Liyun thought to herself, if you could just say this to your son, how good it would be!

Ma Dongbao returned to his room angrily and soon returned to normal. This situation is too commonplace, he and his father are together, and they don't like each other.

Regarding tomorrow's supernatural index test, Ma Dongbao still has a faint expectation in his heart. In his current life and the first 17 years of his life, Ma Dongbao feels that he has lived too aggrieved.

It is impossible to live again in the past, if you can pass the supernatural index test tomorrow, Ma Dongbao swears from his heart that he must change a way of living and live a happy life vigorously!

Before going to bed, Ma Dongbao prayed silently in his heart, God bless, so that Ma Dongbao will definitely be able to pass the supernatural index test tomorrow!

In his sleep, Ma Dongbao saw a fairy sister floating from the sky, carrying a flower basket, smiling at Ma Dongbao, and then taking out a handful of petals from the flower basket and sprinkling them into the air......

Wow! The Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers, and among the falling petals, one of them drilled into Ma Dongbao's body......
