The train pulled the flute, with a deafening roar slowly drove into the Pengcheng platform, just out of the door, a cold snowflake fell on Zhuang Rui's neck, the biting north wind made Zhuang Rui wrap his clothes tightly, carry the luggage and his mother out of the station.

Pengcheng railway station in the country, is a relatively large transfer station, south to the sea, north to the capital, west to Xi'an, almost all have to transfer from here, although it is now more than 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, in the wide station square built in the temporary train hall, there are still many people waiting for the arrival of the train, there are more than ten days to celebrate the New Year, although it is a cold wind, but is about to return home to see relatives, so that people are full of happy smiles.

Zhuang Rui's family has two properties in this ancient city, one is the family's old house, located at the foot of the beautiful Yunlong Mountain, that is the family's ancestral home, which was once requisitioned in the ten years of turmoil, and later returned, but Zhuang Rui only spent his childhood there, and when he was about ten years old, he moved to another place to live.

Another residence is the mother's previous school allocation, a few years ago the country implemented real estate reform, the original allocation of the house to be converted into cash according to the length of service to buy, this house in the village mother before the school next to the area, the area is not large, two bedrooms and a living room only seventy-two square meters, but the lot and floor are very good, the home is also equipped with heating, shopping and travel is very convenient, Zhuang Rui has been living here until high school graduation, last year spent more than 30,000 yuan to buy it out, a few days ago Zhuang Rui listened to his mother talk about it, only to know that last month has got the real estate certificate。

Zhuang Rui stopped a taxi, just the starting price came to the house, after going up to the second floor, I saw that the lights at home were on, I knew that my sister Zhuang Min was living here today, pushed open the door, the heat in the house came to the face, a two- or three-year-old girl was hiding behind her sister, secretly looking at Zhuang Rui who was covered in snowflakes.

"This girl, I shouted that I wanted to see my uncle for a day, and I didn't sleep so late, and now my uncle is here and recognizes her life, Nannan, hurry up and call my uncle ......." Zhuang Min said with a smile.

Looking at the two bowls of steaming noodles on the table, there was a poached egg on it, Zhuang Rui's heart suddenly rose a warm current, this is his home, he has lived and worked in Zhonghai for more than a year, when he is sick, he shrinks in the rental house and no one cares, and when it is hot, he can only take a cold shower to cool down over and over again, thinking of these, Zhuang Rui's tears can't help but flow down, at this moment, he has an urge to quit his job in Zhonghai and return here.

"Mom, my uncle is crying, I don't cry now, my uncle is so ...... not ashamed", the immature child's voice sounded, but it made everyone in the room laugh.

Zhuang Rui lifted the girl high, scared the little girl and screamed, just put it down and hid in her grandmother's arms, and no longer dared to get close to her uncle, until after eating, Zhuang Rui took out the white rabbit milk candy that was a specialty of Zhonghai, which made the little girl and her uncle make love.

After eating, it was already more than 12 o'clock at night, Zhuang Rui washed and returned to his room, just like a year ago, there was no change, lying on the bed, looking at the familiar room, after a long time, Zhuang Rui fell asleep.

The next day, Zhuang Rui took his niece to the park for a day, and he sat on the seaplane and merry-go-round, and immediately upgraded himself to become the dearest person in the little niece's heart, and there was no one.

Today is Friday, and in the evening, my brother-in-law after work also came to the house, bringing a lot of New Year's goods, Zhuang Rui then remembered to buy New Year's goods, but now I usually go to the supermarket for New Year's shopping, which is also convenient.

"Brother-in-law, how is the efficiency of your factory now?"

After eating, the family sat on the sofa watching TV and chatting, and the little girl crawled around on everyone, and after being glared at by Zhuang Min, she hid in Zhuang Rui's arms.

"It's the same way, there is no improvement after the restructuring, a salary of 1,000 yuan a month, and I can't hold on to starvation, so I just let your sister suffer with me......

Zhuang Rui's brother-in-law Zhao Guodong is a kind person, working in a subordinate enterprise of the railway system, although he has excellent car repair technology, but in the state-owned enterprises, he will not be able to slip around, and he can only mix a dead salary.

"It's nonsense again, and I'm not afraid to make my brother laugh," Zhuang Min interrupted her husband's words, Zhao Guodong laughed and stopped talking, looking at this, Zhuang Min is a skilled husband.

"By the way, Mom, last time I heard you say, is Aunt Xie's house next door going to be sold? Let's buy it, it's not bad to keep it for my sister to live in or rent it out......

Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered the topic he talked about when chatting with his mother a few days ago, he knew in Zhonghai that housing prices had risen sharply in two years, and last year it was more than 3,000 square meters, and this year it was close to the 6,000 mark.

Zhuang Rui wants to buy this house for his sister, his brother-in-law has more brothers, the housing is very crowded, and he is very good to Zhuang Rui when he plays the young lady, he wants to buy it and let his sister's family move over, and Zhuang's mother is also older, and it will be much more convenient for my sister to live and take care of her.

"It cost more than 30,000 yuan to buy out this house, and I tossed all my savings, how can I have money to buy a house, wait until you get married, and then sell this house, add some money for a bigger one." ”

Although Zhuang's mother is older, but not conservative, after retirement and a group of old ladies have nothing to do with dancing in the square next to the house, the information is also well-informed, the last time we talked about this topic, Zhuang Rui proposed to buy the house, she was also a little moved, the house next door is also the unit was previously allocated, because colleagues have real estate elsewhere, I want to sell this set, the house type is the same as my own home, the price is only in her purchase price added 10,000, it is also appropriate to buy it.

"Don't I have 100,000 yuan, Mom, you go and ask tomorrow, if it's appropriate, we'll buy it, anyway, the money is for nothing, and the house will be given to the elder sister, when I give the dowry to Nannan, haha......", Zhuang Rui encouraged on the side.

"Uncle, what is the dowry?", the little guy bit his finger and asked puzzled while lying in Zhuang Rui's arms.

"It's such a big person, I still don't have a proper shape to speak, the money can't be moved, it's what you exchanged for your life, and it's left for you to take your daughter-in-law's ......", Zhuang Min hugged his daughter over and refused in one bite.

"You don't want that house, you have to buy it, just use it as an investment, sister, you don't have to worry about it, I'll discuss it with my mother ......."

When Zhuang Rui was in Zhonghai, he made up his mind to leave the 100,000 yuan to his family, and he saved more than 20,000 yuan from his salary last year, even if he returned to Zhonghai after the year, it was enough to rent a better house again, after all, after being promoted to the manager of the pawnshop, the salary and benefits would be much higher than before.

"I think you should buy it, Guodong is not much different from me and my own son, and it's nothing to give you a house, besides, Xiaomin, you didn't have much dowry when you got married, so you should be treated as a dowry."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhuang Rui made a decision, Zhuang Rui has been studying and working in other places all these years, and this son-in-law is working on all the big and small things in the family, and when she sees that her son has a heart, she will naturally not object.

"Okay, no need to say any more, by the way, Guodong, you and Xiaorui will go to the old house tomorrow, it is about to be demolished, and then we won't have another house, some things to get back, I have packed all the bags, you can rent a car and pull it back directly......."

Seeing that her son-in-law seemed to be about to resign, Zhuang's mother diverted the topic.

"The old house is going to be demolished?".

It was the first time Zhuang Rui had heard his mother talk about this, and for a while, his heart felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and the sweet and sour came to his heart.
