The traffic flow in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival is very large, and the car is blocked for more than an hour before it hits the highway. At this time, Snow Daddy called and asked if we had any cherry blossoms on the road

Xue touched up her makeup in the rearview mirror, and after a few simple words on the car phone, she hung up the phone.

"Lu Xia, my father must have invited a lot of relatives today, you have to be prepared!"

Hearing Xue like this, I was really nervous. But after all, we have been a marketer for so many years, and dealing with people is our professional specialty.

Because I got up early, it was only 10 o'clock in the morning when I arrived in She County. I glanced at the two shabby bottles of wine in the back seat of the car, and I was at a loss.

"Snow, let's buy something more!"

Xia Xue was looking out the window, and when she heard this, she turned her face and looked at me in surprise, and only smiled wisely for a long time: "Lu Xia, you really don't have to be like this. Exaggerated philistines will slap their swollen faces and become fat, deliberately looking for self-esteem You believe me, my parents are both cultured people, and they are easy to go.

I can't resist her, so I can only acquiesce to her theory. But the main thing is that I am shy in my pocket, and this month's mortgage is all Xia Xue's pad.

It's not that I don't have any savings at all, but I just think about buying a house in Huangshan City, so I put all the money in my book and use it for special purposes.

Sometimes when I think about it, there will be an inexplicable fulfillment of blessings Although I am not married to Xue, I behave like a husband and wife. We sometimes discuss the names of the children, so we have to make one out to match the number.

……

It is still a weeping willow ancient pond stone road, ducks fly to the water with floating dust, and the big black dog drags the iron chain and roars at us.

The city quietly drooped under the morning sun, curling smoke, empty blue draining water, faint thin clouds, and muttering swallows. The antique city bricks and black tiles, the gray door frame is inserted with fresh wormwood, the sleeping flower cat on the stone pier stretches its delicate body lazily, and the apricot tree by the wall spits bright red fruits......

I got out of the car and stomped on the black dog, which recognized me, licked its nose and wagged its tail.

I don't know why, but when I come here again, I feel like this is my home, and I'm back.

The pear trees in the yard were full of fruit, not as big as eggs, but they were already very attractive.

Mother Snow brought us red date soup, which is a local custom, and drinking this during the Dragon Boat Festival is a good omen. Later, I learned that stewed lotus root with red dates means early tie the knot, and the old lady has ulterior motives!

My uncle and grandfather, as always, came to talk to me with a cane, and asked again what he had asked last time. Xia Xue, the next time you come, he will still ask again, so just deal with it, there is no need to talk to him

Having said that, I still cooperated respectfully and politely. A serious and respectful attitude will also attract admiring glances.

Lunch soon began at noon with a fragrant fragrance, and the cup given to me by Mother Xue on the dinner table was filled with orange juice, and she apologized: "Lu Xia, you still have to drive in the afternoon, so I won't persuade you to drink, don't blame me in my heart!" ”

I looked at Snow Face!

"Mom, we're not going back." Snow reminded. He and I glanced at each other, and said, "But Lu Xia wants to go to the other side of the Liuhe River to row and pick loquats, just come last time." ”

Xue's parents also glanced at each other, and smiled a little stiffly:

"Oh, that's it......" Mother Snow also poured herself orange juice, smiling but seemed embarrassed to me:

"Lu Xia, an old classmate of your Uncle Xia has a non-commercial house in the city that he wants to sell. Didn't I think you were going to buy a house here, so I stopped you. It's just that you're here today, and the people over there are there, so I happened to go and have a look! Anyway, you won't lose by looking at it......"

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Xia Xue and I were both shocked by this sudden arrangement.

I saw Xia Xue looking at me with a pair of innocent eyes, obviously she was not prepared enough to face this matter, after all, she was a girl, and she lacked the courage to make decisive decisions in many big choices.

"Okay! We are thinking about it as well! ”

I secretly covered the back of Xia Xue's hand, comforting her and myself.

But Xia Xue was more rational than me, took a sip of orange juice, and muttered for a moment before saying to her parents: "Mom and Dad, Lu Xia and I haven't bought a house yet." And we are not ready to buy a second-hand house, how much pressure is there on the full payment! ”

Mother Xue glanced at Uncle Xia, her face was slightly gloomy: "You kid, you should know that you are doing the real estate industry by yourself, and this kind of matter should be sooner rather than later." As for second-hand housing or new housing, full payment or mortgage, these are not all accurate. …… I suggest you take a look, maybe it's appropriate? Don't miss it, regret it later! ”

Mother Xue secretly slapped Uncle Xia, who responded in a trance: "Yes! I, an old classmate, was also in a hurry to prepare a wedding house for my son, so I was in a hurry to sell my old house. Anyway, you live in Hefei, so you don't need to spend too much money to buy a new house. ”

Seeing that Xue and I were silent, Mother Xue also broke the silence with interest and sandwiched a piece of meat for me: "Lu Xia, you eat vegetables!" Try the pork cooked by Auntie. ”

"Thank you, Auntie!" I thanked me politely, but the fragrant back pot meat tasteless when I put it in my mouth, like chewing wax.

Uncle Xia didn't want to push it too hard, so he put down his wine glass and deliberately smiled at Xia Xue: "Baby girl, otherwise, you should take Lu Xia to Liuhe to pick loquats!" It's hard to come back and have some fun. There is no rush about the house. You are all engaged in real estate work, and you are more professional than us. ”

I was afraid that the second elder would be disappointed, so I decided to go to see the house.

It's a little weird in my heart, I have sold my property for half my life, but it is my turn to see a residential building in an old community.

The area is very dilapidated, and the cement joints on the road are patched with high bumps. There is no greenery, and vegetables are planted in front of each unit.

The six floors are neatly arranged with brushes, there is no elevator, and the wrought iron handrails of the stairs are rusty.

As soon as you enter the unit door, you will see advertisements plastered all over the hallway, web cables and TV lines that are messed up like cobwebs.

The room to be seen was on the fourth floor, and I saw that every rest platform was filled with all kinds of old furniture by the owner. There are cupboards with missing legs, badly rusted coal stoves, and pickle jars pressed with bricks......

An anti-theft door with wormwood inserted in the gap of the Spring Festival couplets slowly opened for us, and then a strong strange smell hit the door.

I used to work part-time in an agency, and I saw a lot of second-hand houses. This kind of house without an intermediary is not cleaned, and the owner thinks that since it is all sold, why spend time and physical effort cleaning? After moving the furniture to be moved, the house is basically full of garbage.

Walking into such a house, my heart is full of mixed feelings! The idea of retreating from the turbulence was the first time.

Xue's parents seemed to be quite satisfied, and followed the owner of the house to ask this and that. Finally ask for our opinion:

"Lu Xia, what do you think? The floor is also very good, gold three silver four! ”

Without me having to open my mouth, the snow was unbearable. Covering his mouth: "Mom, the fourth gold and silver four are the standard for buying houses in your era." ”

Later, after some greetings and prevarication, he apologized to the owner of the house and left in disgrace.
