The man in front of him with sunken cheeks, sallow complexion, sparse hair, and bald was turned out to be ......

"Tongtong Dad?"

Jiang Xi shouted at the man almost in disbelief.

The man looked at us listlessly, stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were a little red and said, "It's your family of three? It's really rare to meet you, it's really good to meet you today! I was looking for you, I don't know your house number, and I don't have your phone number, I want to talk to you about something, can you give me some time?"

He looked at us almost pleadingly, as if he was afraid that we would not agree.

Jiang Xi and I looked at each other, and when we saw his appearance, we guessed that he was sick, but we couldn't think of any illness that could make him feel like he was running out of oil in such a short period of time.

My husband and wife followed him to the bench in the community and sat down, and Jiang Xi went to play in the amusement facilities not far away.

"How so, what's wrong?" I asked, confused.

"Cough!" Tongtong's father sighed deeply, and then his eyes were blank, as if he had no focus, "I never believed in retribution before, until retribution came to me, I believed, and I finally understood the sentence 'God wants you to be crazy before you perish' I was too crazy, abandoned my wife and daughter, and was not happy for a few days, I found out that I was really deceived by that woman, before getting married, she was all kinds of gentle, after getting married, just thinking about asking me for money to buy this for her daughter, I bought that, I didn't even do housework, and she wanted me to do it, I spent all these years with Tongtong's mother, and she didn't let me do housework much ......".

It is probably that when people are experiencing suffering, their hearts will become particularly fragile, and when he said this, Tongtong's father shed tears like a child who has been wronged.

Jiang Xi and I didn't show sympathy for him, and we didn't seem to be sympathetic to him.

He wiped the corners of his eyes, and then said in a deep voice, "I have cancer! And it's the kind of person who didn't have any symptoms before, and when he showed symptoms, he went to the hospital for a check-up...... It's the late stage, I know, I'm just retribution! But God is not too cruel to me, he won't even give me a chance to repent, I'm about to leave this world, I can't even eat a hot meal, woo......."

As he spoke, he began to cry like a helpless old man.

"What about your new wife, can't she take care of you?" Jiang Xi asked.

"Ahem, don't mention it, before I got married to her, I bought this house of Juxx, I also kept an eye on it, and asked her to sign a prenuptial property agreement before marriage, and she agreed that this house did not have her share, originally, this house...... I saved it with Tongtong's mother, I am reluctant to give Tongtong's mother a share, and I can't be willing to give her a share, even if I like her again, after all, the time I have known each other is still short, and she happily agreed before getting married, and said that what I did was right, but after getting married, it slowly began to change. ”

He seemed to be tired from talking too much, so he took a deep breath before he continued, " Not only did she want to manage my salary card, she also restricted me from buying things for Tongtong, and from time to time she always mentioned to me that she wanted to add her name to the house book, I didn't agree, she made trouble with me, got angry, and didn't cook for me, and even that aspect of life between husband and wife became a bargaining chip for her to negotiate with me, and if she didn't agree to her request, she wouldn't live with me as a husband and wife, gradually, our relationship became worse and worse, and I found out more and more that she was bad, and suddenly felt that she was not as good ......as Tongtong's mother.

As he spoke, he covered his face with a look of remorse.

Jiang Xi and I listened quietly, and there were many things that we could guess without asking.

"When I just had the idea of divorcing her and reconciling with Tongtong's mother, one day I suddenly had a severe stomach ache, and I went to the hospital for a check-up, and it was ...... Stomach cancer is in an advanced stage!"

The words "advanced stomach cancer" seemed to have a thousand weights, as if it had taken all his strength, and after saying that, he leaned back on the back of the chair tiredly, closed his eyes and tried to rest for a while.

He took a deep breath, then opened his eyes, and said again, "Chen Jingxia saw that I didn't agree to add her name to the house, and I had no salary for sick leave, so she filed for divorce from me, I thought about it, it's okay to leave, I've lived with Tongtong's mother for ten years, it's enough, I've lived with Chen Jingxia and I've had enough in three months, I'm really self-inflicted!"

"Then what do you want to do with us?" Jiang Xi asked calmly.

"After I divorced Chen Jingxia, I really wanted Tongtong, I also wanted Tongtong's mother, but I couldn't contact them, Tongtong's mother's mobile phone changed the number, and there was no response to how many messages were sent on WeChat, I also went to the Bai xx community to find them, but the people there said that the house was sold by Tongtong's mother, and Tongtong no longer went to school in Bai XX Primary School, and the phone numbers of Tongtong's grandmother and grandfather's house were also changed, and the family also moved, they seemed to ...... It's like they've evaporated, and I'm ......."

He suddenly burst into tears, "I miss them so much, I think so much! I'm so afraid that I won't even see Tongtong before I die, Tongtong is my only daughter......!

He cried more and more with grief.

My heart felt a little sad, but it wasn't just sad for him, it was complicated and I couldn't explain it clearly.

"Can't your parents take care of you?" Jiang Xi asked again.

He said, "My mother came to take care of me for a few days, she followed me anxious and tired, I couldn't sleep every night, and soon fell ill, my dad was not in good health, and he was also a dying person, I asked my mother to go back, I hired a nanny to take care of me, but the nanny didn't go well, I just want Tongtong and Tongtong's mother, Jiang Dongxi's mother, if you can contact them, help me contact them, I'm dying people, let them forgive me, I think my daughter......"

Now because of his haggard face, although he is only in his thirties, he looks old, and when he says such words, he looks particularly miserable and desolate.

Jiang Xi said, "I haven't been in contact with her for a long time, I can only say try to get in touch, in case she gets in touch, she will look for you, if you don't get in touch, you don't have to look for us, it's useless to look for us, do you understand?"

Zhang Junyi nodded sadly, "Understood, I understand!"

After that we went back to our home.

Along the way, what appeared in my mind was the picture of Zhang Junzhi and Tongtong's mother, negotiating in our family, Tongtong's mother at that time had a feeling that she would die at any time, if it weren't for Jiang Xi's persuasion, Tongtong's mother was likely to suffer from mental illness, in short, her life was like falling into a dark abyss.

At that time, although Zhang Junzhi's words were not very public, the behavior and mood behind it were very resolute, domineering, selfish, and shameless without considering anyone's feelings.

Looking at him now, he is like a dying lost dog.

Life is sometimes really wonderful and more unpredictable, and it seems that some people's lives exist to confirm the saying "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself".

If Zhang Junzhi hadn't tossed so badly, I don't dare to say that he wouldn't have cancer, but I think Tongtong's mother would never ignore him, not to mention that Tongtong was by his side, in that way, even if he left this world, he would walk like a person, and he would be nostalgic and nostalgic, now, who would be reluctant to him?

Jiang Xi contacted Tongtong's mother as soon as she got home, we all know that Tongtong's mother took Tongtong back to her hometown Anhui, because she couldn't help but be sad here, and then thought that her children were not studying in a good school district, and the house she and Zhang Junzhi had saved so hard was enjoyed by other children and women, she couldn't face the reality, so she simply sold the house and took the child back to her parents, and her parents also needed to take care of them.

Her parents knew what happened to her, and they were so angry that they were sick for half a month, and when they got better, they moved, on the one hand, they didn't want to hear the gossip of the old neighbors, on the other hand, they said that they wanted to say goodbye to everything in the past, and the old couple was still looking for a partner for Tongtong's mother.

After Tongtong's mother had a new number, she sent it to Jiang Xi as soon as possible, she said: "I don't contact anyone else, but you, I can't help but contact, I don't want to break off with you." ”

This time, Jiang Xi sent her a message explaining Zhang Junzhi's appeal.

We all thought that Tongtong's mother would definitely not take care of Zhang Junzhi, but unexpectedly, Tongtong's mother quickly replied: "I will take Tongtong back to him tomorrow, thank you Jiang's mother!"

Jiang Xi and I were shocked by her answer, but we have accomplished our mission, and we can't care about the rest.

I said, "Maybe Tongtong's mother still has feelings for Zhang Junzhi, and everyone is going to die, so she won't care about him." ”

Jiang Xi hooked his lips lightly, but didn't say anything.

In the days that followed, Jiang Xi received several calls from the head teacher, this time Jiang Xi was not nervous, and responded completely in a perfunctory state, and hung up the phone, her emotions were still "hee-hee-ha" inappropriate.

As hard as the school side is hit, the extracurricular classes are encouraged.

The art teacher often sent messages saying, "Mother Jiang Dongxi, your Jiang Dongxi's paintings are very good, the last sketch exam, she directly passed the second level, gouache painting is also very good, art is very talented, you must train well! Don't waste talents!"

Jiang Xi replied: "Okay, good! You must train well, hard teacher!"

The dance teacher sent a congratulatory message, "Jiang Dongxi's Latin dance is very exemplary, this time, she has only been studying for three months, and she has danced better than those students who have studied for half a year, so we decided to give her a two-level class to learn, Jiang Dongxi's mother, you have no opinion!"

Jiang Xi replied: "No opinion, no opinion, as long as the teacher thinks you are good, give her a grade skip, as long as she can keep up." ”

Whenever he receives such a call, Jiang Xi will always be very happy, any child, where there are weaknesses, there will be strengths.

Jiang Xi would smile and say to me, "Let's just let her give full play to her talent in the future, study art majors, and the scores in the cultural courses of art majors can be less, and she won't be so tired when she takes the exam." ”

I said, "Okay, you can think about it first, but who knows what will happen in the future, it's up to her, there are many ways to go anyway, or you can learn how to make cakes!"

"Get out of the way!"

Jiang Xi squinted at me, every time at this time, I felt that she was very cute, stretched out my head and couldn't help but kiss her on the face, and I had a good time......!

When the girl is praised, we will also take her out for a good meal, or go to a professional playground to play once, which is considered a reward for her. After being rewarded, the girl will work harder and more actively to learn to draw and dance.

On Saturday morning, our family took the train to Hangzhou, from Nanjing to Hangzhou Railway Station, an hour and a half is enough, but it took nearly two hours from Hangzhou to the Emerald City in Yuhang District, where we looked at the house.

On the one hand, Hangzhou's traffic is not as good as Nanjing, Hangzhou's subway is less, there are more vehicles, and there is another reason, Hangzhou is the first in the country to rise before the zebra crossing before the car gives way to pedestrians, and there are a lot of zebra crossings along the way, so ......

However, Hangzhou is a city that makes people feel clean, polite, and very humanistic, not to mention the greenery, which is even better than Nanjing, so the air here is also better than Nanjing, and it is a world of difference.

So when our family of three came here, we were quite excited, sitting in a taxi and looking around, and we were in a very comfortable mood.

This time we went to Emerald City, Yuhang District, Hangzhou, because Jiang Xi said that she had studied the second-hand housing in Hangzhou for a long time, and felt that it was still a low-lying area in Hangzhou, with a unit price of 181 square meters, and the economy there had not yet developed, but Jiang Xi felt that there was a future.

I didn't study it, so I didn't say much, so I followed her to see it.

It's just that as soon as I got there, I felt a strong sense of rejection, because it seemed to be almost sparsely populated, except for a few scattered construction sites that made the air smoky, and there was no human population or greenery.

As soon as I got there, I said, "This place is not good!"

I also asked the agent more, "How much can I rent out a 100-square-meter house here?"

The agent said, "Big brother, a 100-square-meter house here can be rented out for more than 1,000 yuan, and there is no public school here, and it should be matched in the future, but there are private schools." ”

In the community where my family lives in Nanjing, a house of 70 to 80 square meters can be rented out for 3 to 4,000 yuan.

Jiang Xi said, "Don't worry, let's look at the house first." ”

I said very seriously, "It's useless to look at it, you really can't buy a house here, there is a feeling of being in the wilderness, it's far away from the city, the surrounding commercial facilities are also poor, and there is not even a public school, how can you buy this?"

I know that Jiang Xi has studied to buy a house, and it seems that he has not missed, but this time I am really afraid, if I want to buy, I am afraid that it is to buy a house of two or three million, if I buy the wrong one, this broken place, it will be troublesome to smash it in my hands, and I can't sell it if I want to sell it in the future, and it is worthless to rent, so isn't it over?

I'm really anxious and worried, so I hope Jiang Xi will say, go, don't look at it, don't buy it.

As a result, she still said calmly, "Don't always write ink in my ears, so as not to affect my thinking and judgment, listen carefully to the introduction of the intermediary!"

Me, "......".

I was left speechless, and I was depressed.

Jiang Dongxi saw my embarrassment, and immediately took my hand and said, "Listen to my mother, my mother has her thoughts." ”

Okay! No, it's useless, but it's nothing to look at the house, and I won't agree to her buying it anyway, that's all!

So, our family of three followed the agent to see several houses, and I didn't look at most of them carefully because I had made up my mind not to buy them.

But there is a house, I still can't help but take a look, because this house is really well decorated, for those of us who have not lived in a luxury house, the decoration of this house, it is really a luxury house, all aspects of the materials are also very good, the area is 170 square meters, the price is 3.2 million, send an underground garage.

This house is really exciting, but unfortunately, this place is too bad, I think, no matter how good the house is, it is useless, I asked the agent, how much can this house be rented, he replied, more than 2,000 a month, I am even more uninterested, no matter how beautiful and luxurious.

Jiang Xi and Jiang Dongxi were both elated.

Jiang Dongxi said excitedly, "If only I could live in such a big house, oops, it's a pity!"

Jiang Xi said, "Mom bought it for you, you can come to live when you grow up in the future!"

"Really?"

Jiang Dongxi was about to jump up excitedly when I interrupted her with a loud voice.

"You can't buy it here, no matter how beautiful it is, it's useless, the villa of more than 300 square meters in my hometown is less than a million, can you buy it?"

Seeing my resolute attitude, the intermediary immediately looked at Jiang Xi.

I said, "You don't have to look at her, you won't buy it!"

Jiang Xi smiled and said to the agent, "Do you still have a house to see?" If not, we will go to the neighborhood for a meal, and contact you when we have considered it." ”

The intermediary smiled and said, "Sister Xing!"

Separated from the intermediary, our family of three went to find a nearby restaurant, a desolate place, and walked for fifteen minutes before finally meeting a restaurant with a reasonable environment, and one of us asked for a bowl of beef noodles.

When I was eating beef noodles, I tentatively said, "Let's go after eating the noodles, or contact other agents and look at the houses in the city." ”

Jiang Xi lowered his head and ate the noodles as he said to me, "I'll tell you after eating the noodles." ”

When I heard this, I still didn't give up? I sighed deeply, feeling a little depressed. Jiang Shixi reached out and patted my hand as a sign of comfort.

At a critical time, it's better to be my daughter! Sure enough, my daughter is a caring little padded jacket.

The noodles were finally finished, and Jiang Xi said, let's find a place where no one is around.

I took Jiang Dongxi's little hand and followed Jiang Xi, who seemed to be the boss, and she found a clearing behind a green tree on the side of the road.

I couldn't wait to say, "Wife, you really don't want to be impulsive when this house is renovated, I still want to use some of the money to repay the 500,000 yuan loan of my family's Qiaobei house! Then we have 3.1 million yuan left, which is not enough to buy this house." ”

After several years of loan repayment, there are still about 500,000 loans left in our Qiaobei house.

Jiang Xi looked at me, her eyes rolled and thought, and I suddenly had a feeling in my heart, with my understanding of her, her expression should not be thinking about whether to buy this house, but thinking, what method can be used to convince me?

Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, she said in a tone that seemed to have a gentle trap, "Husband, let me tell you, you see that these questions are all right......."

"Then do you agree with me? Then let's go, don't waste time, and go to the city to see it while it's still dark." ”

I said I was leaving, but she grabbed my arm, which seemed to be what I expected, she is sometimes very persistent, and she wants to do something, and it is really not so easy to give up.

She smiled again and said, "Let me tell you, none of these problems is more important than a favorable condition. ”

"What are the favorable conditions? I don't see any favorable conditions?" I only saw the smoky construction sites and the deserted woods.

She added, "Not far from here, there is a certain mile, and a certain mile has just developed here, and I think there is a great future for development here." ”

As soon as I heard it, I thought it was unreliable.

"Wife, don't you think it's ridiculous that you buy a house of more than 3 million yuan and pin your hopes on a company?

"I don't think so, you look at the country, the most famous, the most promising company, that is, the two giants of a certain and a certain li, such a company has the support of the state, there is the protection of the state, it will definitely develop better, and I think Ali is here, but also to attract more Internet companies, as well as business giants. ”

I've heard her say the same thing, but ......

"Wife, you are quite reasonable, but I still don't agree to spend 3 million to buy a house here, because it's too risky, you are not sure that a certain mile will develop more here, and you are not sure that there will be many other companies here, even if some Internet companies come, it may not be able to bring much prosperity here, let alone drive housing prices! The commercial facilities here are too poor, it can't be developed within ten years, not necessarily after ten years, we are now buying a house here, it is really too risky, there are more than three million, it is better to buy a mature community in the city, even if it is a little more expensive, but insurance, didn't you say before? to buy a house with a school district, there is investment value. ”

Jiang Xi's eyes rolled again, I thought she was moved by what I said, but when she opened her mouth, she was still persistent.

"But the houses in the city are already expensive, about 30,000 yuan per square meter, and here it is only 20,000 yuan, which is much cheaper, and there is more room for appreciation here. ”

I was a little anxious, "Didn't you have a lot of guidelines for buying a house before? The traffic here is not good, there are very few buses, there is no subway at all, and the people who live here can only drive 20 minutes to the city, and there is no school district, according to your previous standards for buying a house, this place does not meet your requirements for buying a house at all? What happened to you this time? Are you stupid?"

Jiang Xi looked at me and smiled and said, "There is a certain mile here." ”

"Can just one mile replace all the appreciation conditions?"

I thought I had asked a particularly powerful question, but she smiled and nodded at me.

What is the operation of nodding? I didn't react for a moment.

She added, "I trust my instincts, I can't be wrong!"

"Where did you get your confidence? Just by intuition? All reason and hard conditions have been abandoned?"

"My self-confidence was given to me by Ma X. ”

Me, "......".

I sighed deeply, I felt that she was really too stubborn.

"Ahem! Jiang Xi, I really think you should think about it, rationally return, how can anyone buy a house because of a company, if it is an employee of this company, then there are extenuating circumstances, I am not an employee of this company, we can't come to live in the house we bought here, and it is not worth renting it, let's go back to Nanjing first, think about it, maybe you will come back rationally in a few days, and you don't want to buy this house." ”
