Chapter 42 A Difficult Choice
The days always go by day by day, and people are also growing day by day, and then they start to run for their own livelihood. Sometimes I even wonder what is the purpose of human existence? Just to survive? If so, what is the difference between it and primitive societies? With a progressive civilization? With advanced technology? But for individuals, even after so many years of development, the general public is still running for their own food, clothing, housing and transportation, all their lives.
"The price of gasoline has risen again, and the money is hard to earn, and it is like running water to spend."
Early one morning, Lin Shuquan drove a car and galloped on the avenue, and this month's expenses were overspent again. Lin Shuquan was on my steering wheel, complaining all the way. Lin Rou was leaning on the backrest, squinting, and making a final battle with sleepiness.
"My rent is due." Lin Rou said in a daze, "I have to pay it for half a year all of a sudden." ”
When Lin Shuquan heard this, he felt uncomfortable in his chest, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. It was as if the whole world suddenly opened its hand to him, and the lines were, "Money, take the money." ”
Lin Rou was not sleepy anymore, and looked ahead: "Do you say this society is fair?" I worked tirelessly to earn that little money, but the landlord didn't do anything, and he was going to take away my salary for months, a few months' money. ”
In the face of Lin Rou's complaints, Lin Shuquan could only sigh, he didn't know how many times he had said this, but what could he do? The house has to be lived! Is it possible to set up a tent under the overpass and wander?
"If you don't have enough rent, I'll pay it for you." Lin Shuquan looked at Lin Rou's painful expression and said.
Lin Rou turned her head to look at him and opened her mouth, but she didn't speak.
"Why do you look at me like that? I'm your boyfriend, so it's only natural to help you pay your rent! Lin Shuquan said righteously.
Lin Rou didn't say anything, she was thinking about something, for a long time, she clapped her hands and said to Lin Shuquan: "Let's live together!" ”
With a sudden brake, Lin Rou almost hit her head. "What are you doing?" Lin Rou looked at Lin Shuquan in panic.
Lin Shuquan eased his mind, and repeatedly confirmed what Lin Rou had just said, and then slowly released the brake. The car continued on the road.
"You just said to live together?" Lin Shuquan asked a little weakly.
"That's right." Lin Rou looked at him strangely, "You don't want to?" ”
"No, no." Lin Shuquan hurriedly explained, "It's just a little sudden, how did you think of it and live here?" ”
"The two of us are in love, what does it matter if we live together? Besides, haven't we been living together lately? Lin Rou blinked, "Then why do you have to pay an extra rent that is not necessary?" ”
Lin Rou's words made Lin Shuquan completely unable to refute, because this was indeed the truth. But Lin Shuquan felt strange in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.
"I, think about it."
"You're thinking about it?"
"Hmm."
Lin Shuquan said that he was considering, but he was resisting in his heart, and he didn't realize that Lin Rou's face had changed. There was no communication along the way, as usual every morning, Lin Rou was sent downstairs to the company, said goodbye to each other, and then went to their respective jobs to struggle.
"Lin Rou is moving in with me."
At noon, Lin Shuquan dialed Zhou Zhu's phone in the restaurant, wanting to ask Zhou Zhu for an idea.
"Really? Congratulations! Zhou said nonchalantly.
"Congratulations, you big-headed ghost!" Lin Shuquan was furious, "Don't you understand? Lin Rou, she wants to quit her house and move to my house. ”
"Do you think I'm having a problem with my comprehension?" Zhou Shu had a bitter feeling of smiling.
"No, I mean, oops..."
Listening to the other end of the phone, Lin Shuquan hesitated for a long time, and Zhou whispered to the phone: "You won't be unwilling, right?" ”
Lin Shuquan scratched his head, and he didn't know what he thought, "It's not, it seems to be a little bit." ”
"I said, comrade scumbag, you shouldn't have any other ideas!" Zhou's tone became a little serious.
"Of course not!" Lin Shuquan replied angrily.
"So what's the problem? What's the difference between you living with you now? ”
"Of course there is a difference, she lives in her house, I live in mine, although we sometimes get together, but we all have our own private space! But if you do move together, then there will be no space. ”
"That's what you're worried about?" Zhou asked.
"That's right!"
"But you will have this day! Do you want to be separated for the rest of your life? ”
"Of course not, I just don't think I'm ready."
"Lin Rou didn't say this, you are not ready? There's something wrong with you! What do you want to prepare? ”
"I..." Lin Shuquan was a little dumbfounded, yes, what did he have to prepare? Maybe it's something called habit, after all, I have been living alone for so many years, and suddenly another woman will break in. Then it became two people living together.
"I would like to ask you, what is the purpose of your call to me? I want to give you advice! Or do you want me to give you a reason to reject Lin Rou? Without receiving a response from Lin Shuquan, Zhou Shu continued to ask.
"What do you say? Should we live together? Lin Shuquan asked.
"Since you called me, it proves that your heart refuses, otherwise you would have agreed to her directly. However, I still think that if you think about it, it's not a big deal to live together! You have to get used to it slowly! Otherwise, do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life? ”
"Okay." After spitting out two words, Lin Shuquan hung up the phone. Looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, has the way of the world changed? In his image, it is always a man's dead face, soft and hard to live with the woman. Why is it the other way around now?
Men and women always think differently, even when faced with the same thing, what they think, or even think about, is not on the same plane. So, there is always a saying that men and women are creatures that are not on the same planet at all.
For example, now, Lin Shuquan is thinking about what impact Lin Rou will have on his life after moving over, and what Lin Rou thinks is that he actually hesitates. One is a practical problem, and the other is an attitude problem. Why would he resist further development with himself? Could it be that he has no intention of getting along with himself for a long time? If you don't live together, you can leave peacefully one day in the future, wave your sleeves, and not take a cloud with you.
That's it, living together, and not living together. Yes or no, a simple multiple-choice question, was placed in front of both of them at the same time. Lin Rou chose the former without hesitation. And what about Lin Shuquan? I'm rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find my coin!
"Where did you throw it last time?" After looking for a long time, Lin Shuquan gave up. He sat in his chair, gasping for air, and a picture gradually came to his mind.
When he got home, Lin Rou had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, and smiled softly at him, "Go wash your hands, it's time to eat." Then they were happy, like a happy life for a young couple. Then the picture turned, and Lin Rou yelled at him angrily, "Lin Shuquan, how many times have you said it, don't throw away dirty clothes." Lin Shuquan, why didn't he flush after going to the toilet. Lin Shuquan..."
My brain has begun to run out of blood, followed by a splitting headache. Oh my God, why is this question so difficult!
