488. To be alive is to live the meaning of life
In the process of house decoration, a wall needs to be renovated, and the master dismantles the wall to reveal that there are rough hollow bricks inside, and inside the bricks are white foam boards for packaging, which surprises Shandan; Foam walls? No way?
I asked the renovation workers, and the workers said that it was the first time they had seen foam boards built into the walls, probably for sound insulation. It seems that there is only such an explanation, otherwise......
With the decoration process step by step, the quality of the house project problems will be exposed step by step, first the cracks in the wall and ground cement are too large, and it is necessary to re-level a layer of new cement, the decoration master said that if it is a good house quality, this layer of cement is not needed, and the wall is directly powdered.
Then the buckles of the doors and windows are rotten, the aluminum alloy doors and windows, the locks on the top are plastic, less than half a year after delivery, the locks are crispy like mud, and they fall off when touched.
Then there is the cracking of the floating platform wall, and there is a through crack between the floating platform wall and the main wall between the two rooms, and Shandan does not dare to go to the floating platform, of course, he does not dare to put things on it, and he also tells the decoration master not to bear the weight on the floating platform, for fear that it will fall.
Then the sound insulation of the house is very poor, the sound of walking upstairs is clear, and you can even hear the usual chatting of the house next door.
When the decorator cleans the floor, he washes the dirty water to the sewer while cleaning, so that it can leak down two floors to the roof of the third floor below. But this shows how bad the quality of the project is.
After listening to the decoration master chattering countless times about the poor quality of the house, Shandan went upstairs and downstairs, next door neighbor's house to see, the same quality, some are even worse, there is a big hole in the roof, from the hole you can see the ceiling upstairs, but also can see the thickness and material of the roof, said that the tofu slag project is completely worthy of the name.
Later, I heard that the director of the barracks office, a company-level cadre, just built these so-called affordable houses without an agreement and without a purchase contract, and put 24 million in his pocket.
Shandan was worried that her heavy mahogany furniture would collapse the floor, and the decoration boss said that Shandan was completely unfounded, such a 3o-story building would not fall, how many pieces of furniture could you crush the floor? The poor quality of the project is a little worse, but it is not as fragile as paper paste, and he tries to make it stronger when decorating to make up for the lack of project quality.
Seeing that the decoration materials used by the decoration boss Lao Qi are all well-known brands and good quality, Shandan is a little relieved.
The project has been carried out intermittently for half a year, and it is finally possible to move in.
They are finally moving out of the talent building where they have lived for seven or eight years, and they remember the happiness and excitement when they were about to move into the talent building.
At that time, Gu Haiping graduated with a master's degree and was specially recruited into the army, and there were only a few master's and doctoral students in the hospital, which added up to a unit in the talent building, and the upstairs and downstairs were all highly educated talents.
They were the first to move into the talent building, I remember that Mr. Xi said that he would move in before the fifth lunar month, and he originally chose the 3o1 room on the third floor, Xiaoyu saw that the children who went to kindergarten together lived on the fifth floor, so they clamored to live in the opposite door, so they chose the 5o1 room.
The original apartment building is located in the center of the hospital family area compound, surrounded by green trees, mango trees, honey pineapple trees in front of the door, longan trees and water grape trees behind the house, after moving to the talent building, in front of several low-rise three-story red brick houses built in the seventies, behind the house is an urban village, the living environment is a little worse.
Fortunately, the house is a new house, with a large area, a good house structure, and a so-called talent building, which also gives Shandan's vanity some satisfaction, so they happily listened to Mr. Xi's words and hurriedly moved in the first house.
Just after living and working in peace and contentment for five whole years - not a bad day - which early autumn evening, Gu Haiping, who got off work, suffered a tragic accident, leaving behind the lonely Shandan and Xiaoyu.
After Gu Haiping left, Shandan put all her thoughts on Xiaoyu, she was like a frightened bird, panicked all the time, she personally picked up the child to and from school, as long as the child was not in school, it would be in her sight, and she couldn't do without the child's safety information for a moment.
When the child graduated from primary school, it was during the renovation of the house in Shandan, and she was often exhausted while running the renovation and taking care of the children.
Fortunately, Xiaoyu has always been a sensible and well-behaved child, she will not let her mother worry and worry, and she will tell her mother anything and what she thinks, which makes Shandan less anxious.
Xiaoyu graduated from primary school and wanted to apply for the city's key junior high school, but Shandan was a little worried, she wanted her to be by her side and under her nose before she could rest assured, so she did not support her child to take the exam.
Xiaoyu was unwilling, she took a bunch of awards and award certificates, and quietly contacted a friend of Gu Haiping who lived near the key junior high school, and asked someone to take her to the exam and interview.
But at that time, her only hope was that the child would grow up healthy and safe, and she couldn't let her out, which was not safe.
So she didn't give the child a household registration book, she couldn't take the exam without a household registration book, Xiaoyu came back a little disappointed, she didn't complain about her mother, she was just unhappy.
Shandan does work for the children: "Maotou, my mother knows that your academic performance is very good, but the school you are admitted to is far away from home, you have to live in the school, and you have to take care of yourself, you are still so young, you can only go home for two days a week, and the rest of the time you eat, drink, lazar, laundry and eat have to be done by yourself, and your mother is reluctant to let you work so hard at such a young age." Besides, if you are not with your mother, your mother will be very worried, and the junior high school in our area is also a very good school, and when you finish junior high school and grow up, your mother will rest assured that you will go out to live in the school and study. Can you understand? ”
"But, Mom, all the students who studied well have gone to the key exams." Xiao Yu's tears rolled in her eyes, trying her best to restrain herself from falling.
"Well, Mom knows that you want to be motivated, but Mom wants you to grow up by Mom's side safely. Isn't it good that your mother can pick you up every day, cook food for you, and accompany you to do your homework? Shandan suppressed the child's aggressiveness and couldn't bear it, but her anxiety didn't allow her to see the child.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I work hard in the lot, I won't be bad, Mom, I won't take the test." ”
Listening to Xiao Yu's words, Shandan's tears almost fell, if Gu Haiping was here, Xiao Yu would never suffer such a grievance! She held the child as tall as herself in her arms and hugged it tightly, now, the child's safety is the first priority, as for the rest, it doesn't matter, or there is hope. 8
