Chapter 1: She or It
On Saturday afternoon, the day after my family moved into our new home, I found the man in the utility vault, oh...... Or maybe it's something else. In fact, it is already the end of winter, but my mother said that it is not bad to move at this time, so that we can welcome the New Year in the new house during the Spring Festival. So that's what it looks like now, when my parents and brother were busy decorating the new house, I walked into the storeroom alone bored.
She was dirty, oil-stained huddled behind an empty oil drum. Motionless like a statue, as if she had been in that posture since eternity.
You can't imagine how buried she was, and her face was so withered and pale that it frightened me at first, and I thought I saw a dead man. But it was a big mistake, because it didn't take long for me to get to know her and learn that it was the luck of my life to meet her, and that she was such an amazing guy.
At first, the salesman called this place, which looked like a wooden shed on vacant land, a warehouse, and I thought he was just trying to make more money. And the Buddhist father didn't want to argue with him, so he let it go. In my opinion, this is actually the place where the construction was piled up with rags, maybe the workers were too lazy to demolish it in the end, and the salesman called it a warehouse.
I remember when I visited the house, the salesman just symbolically pushed open the door and let us take a look, at that time it looked dark inside, so I also remembered this place, after all, adventure is the natural psychology of children, although I am only a girl, and this place does not look very bad, hmm...... Maybe not very bad.
"Actually, this storeroom is still very good, you just need to reinforce the door, and paint it again, and the window will be bright and clean, I think you can even turn it into a garage." The salesman said with a lotus tongue.
Then he looked at me again and said with a smirk, "Maybe you can also use it as a secret base for you and your friends, isn't it, little one?" "He clearly saw my interest here.
I didn't pay attention to him, was I mistaken? Secret base? I'm a girl, what kind of secret base do I want? Idiot! But when I turned away, I glanced at the storeroom door again.
"Maybe that's a good idea too." I thought to myself.
As for the process of visiting the house, the salesman said over and over again that it is not hindered: this house is really good, the price is really not expensive, we must seriously look for the advantages of this house, and we must use our "heart" to see.
In this way, under the flickering of that three-inch tongue, the parents happily paid the down payment. But according to neighbors, there seemed to be a few dead dogs in the yard a few days ago, and then the sales office quickly disposed of them. This incident made my father a little sad, but then it was quickly diluted by the joy of moving to a new home.
In good conscience, although I don't like the profiteer's face, this house is actually really good. Walking into the living room, the large floor-to-ceiling windows let the sunlight shine throughout the room without hesitation, bright and warm. And what I like the most is the double bathroom here, think about no longer using a family to grab a toilet every morning, hehe, it's really a little happy.
While I was still smirking, the salesman looked at me curiously, he would never have imagined that this was what was going on in my mind at that time. But my smile also excited him, because he must have thought his words were working.
But his parents seemed to really listen to him, signed it very happily, and made a happy down payment. When Dad and the salesman shook hands together, both of them were grinning happily to the back of their heads, nodding to each other and talking politely, like two stupid whale-headed storks.
So, I bought the house. After that, they began to decorate on a large scale, washing and rubbing, painting and waxing, and everyone was very busy. Then I was so curious that no one cared about it, and I left their sight, and this is how I stood in the storeroom, facing her.
