220. Sympathy

The days are getting better day by day, and the time has come to the second half of 2008, after a roller coaster like a crazy rise, the price of mahogany furniture has suffered the impact of the world financial crisis, ushered in the first cold snap in history, and the price fell to the bottom.

At that time, Gu Haiping happened to have saved some money in hand, and Shandan's driver's license had been obtained, and he wanted to buy her a decent car, so that she would not have to be exposed to the wind and sun when she commuted to work, which was also the purpose of encouraging Shandan to learn to drive and take the driver's license.

In addition to arranging work every day, he will browse various models on the Internet, and he can buy a similar car if he wants to, with better performance and safety. He fell in love with a Mercedes-Benz just out of a small car, about 250,000 or so price, he excitedly shouted Shandan to see the shape of the car and various index values, Shandan does not want to buy a car, she knows that they are not rich in hand, after buying a car to maintain a car is also to spend, anyway, still young, do not consider the enjoyment of things, or to build a better home is more important.

For so many years, it seems that he is trying to get by, without his own house, he can't buy a single thing, although he now lives in a new talent building built by the hospital for doctors, but it is not his own house, and Shandan has not purchased too much furniture. The appearance of the decoration is still a simple package of the hospital.

Even the curtains in the living room are not installed, because the front and back of the building are old buildings from the 70s, only five stories high, with a wide view and no obstruction, and of course there is no leak. There is also a fund-raising house in the hospital that can be bought according to Gu Haiping's qualifications, seeing that the fund-raising house is already under construction and can be moved in in one or two years, Shandan does not want to spend this money to install another curtain in the living room.

Shandan thinks that he has not been very rich in hand, so it is better to save a little.

But all of a sudden, the old house opposite was demolished to build a new apartment building, and the downstairs became a huge construction site. Thousands of watts of incandescent lamps hang there like a small sun, illuminating the living room as if it were daytime. Besides, it didn't take long for his house to be built, so Shandan still didn't install curtains in the living room.

Until Gu Haiping's accident, Shandan regretted not installing curtains in the living room. Because she saw an article about housing feng shui, there should be no lights from outside the house at night, so that a light brake is formed, especially the incandescent lamps with large wattage on the construction site are even more evil.

Shandan later regretted this incident, also because he had been thrifty, who knows if it was because of such a reason?

Regarding Gu Haiping's insistence on buying a car, Shandan discussed with Gu Haiping whether the money he was going to buy a car could be at her disposal? Gu Haiping disagreed a little, saying that she had been commuting to work in the wind and sun for so many years, and everyone had bought a car, and since she had a driver's license, she should buy a car, and she should not divert the money for other purposes.

Shandan analyzes the pros and cons: buying a car is a sum of money, and it is not a small amount of money for them, and they have to maintain a car after buying a car: insurance costs thousands of yuan a year, maintenance costs thousands of yuan, and the monthly fuel money is not a small amount...... A lot of money, just for an hour to commute to work. The key is that the car is getting cheaper and cheaper, and if you buy it today, the price will drop tomorrow, which is not cost-effective.

Seeing that the new house is about to be acquired, it costs money to buy a house, right? The new house still needs to be renovated? These all need money, and it is necessary to buy furniture, right? Buying a car should be the back of these things, and when the house is settled down and the car is much cheaper, then you can buy it if you have money.

"Besides, mahogany furniture is very cheap nowadays, and I've always been very fond of classical, heavy furniture, and you can buy a whole set of mahogany furniture with the money you can buy for a car. Mahogany furniture is not only what I like, the key is that it can also maintain its value, and even increase in value, we use it ourselves when we are alive, which is pleasing to the eye. We can still leave an asset to Xiaoyu after a hundred years. Which one do you say is more valuable?" said Shandan in one breath.

"But, but... You've worked so hard for so many years! Isn't it still earning money to buy a house and decorate it? With my income of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month, you don't have to worry about it at all, and your salary will rise, and you won't be able to fall at that time. If you buy a car, you can commute to work in a comfortable way, and I don't have to worry about you in the sun or rain anymore. Gu Haiping said reluctantly.

"You see, now I walk to and from work, and I walk through a park, where the birds are singing and the air is fresh, not only exercising, but also not having to buy a car at all, saving a lot of money. If you're going to buy me a car, I won't have a chance to exercise, and when the time comes, my body will be weak, don't you worry? Anyway, I can take a taxi on a rainy day, you can calculate how many times you can take a taxi with a month's gas money? You can still pick me up at the park gate early after work like now, how romantic!" said Shandan with an eyebrow.

When Shandan takes the bus or walks to and from work, Gu Haiping always takes the time to send her to the bus stop or park gate that is less than ten minutes away, even if it is the sun at noon, he has to ride a bicycle to see her off, he is reluctant to let her walk ten minutes under the sun to go to work in a sweat, he would rather rush home in a sweat and take a shower before going to work.

The two of them felt sorry for each other, but Shandan couldn't stop Gu Haiping's actions, and she couldn't bear to disobey his wishes. Every time she sat behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist, just like when they first fell in love, their relationship for more than ten years was still as warm.

Once Shandan wrapped his arms around Gu Haiping's waist and met Gu Haiping's colleague in the compound, the colleague teased: "The little couple is so romantic!" Gu Haiping replied with a smile: "That's!"

He always cares so much about and loves her, every time he is in front of people, he will not be embarrassed because of his grudge with her, so natural and justified, he will go out and intersect with her ten fingers. She liked to take his little finger like a child, and he would take his little hand up carefully every time, cross his big fingers, and hold it steadily.

He would be happy to have her with him everywhere, as if it was his honor to have her, and she even felt that he was a little ostentatious. Fortunately, she has a good face and a soft temperament, and she also understands his "pride".

He often said that having her was a blessing he had cultivated in his previous life, and he must cherish and love her in this life.

Gu Haiping listened to what Shandan said reasonably, and he didn't object very much, and then handed over the passbook to Shandan and let Shandan dispose of it. But Shandan could see his reluctance. She kissed him on the face and patted him on the back as a sign of comfort.

Gu Haiping's income Shandan has never been in his hands, and he has asked her to take care of it many times, but she has not agreed. She felt that a home, a home with love, was very important in terms of their affection, and she completely trusted him. Shandan thinks that money is nothing to love. Besides, a family's wealth should have been controlled by men.

Gu Haiping still wants every income to be seen by Shandan, he wants her to see the satisfaction and glory brought to him by the appreciation he gives when he harvests, and his heart is also happy.

Her salary income is less than a fraction of Gu Haiping's, and Gu Haiping wants Shandan to save it for pocket money. Anyway, she was reluctant to spend it, so she saved it all.

The family's capital is managed by Gu Haiping, and in addition to giving some pocket money to the elderly on both sides every year, Shandan also saved 100,000 yuan of "private money".

This time, Shandan planned to use the money for buying a house, decoration, and furniture, but Gu Haiping refused, saying that it was his responsibility to live and work in peace and contentment, how could he use her pocket money?
