64. Life is like chocolate

Li Xiaocan felt that he was happy too early, his parents were not in good health, his younger brother and girlfriend were out of town, and the task of looking at the house naturally fell on Li Xiaocan's head. When Li Xiaocan walked into the magnificent sales department, he was shocked to find that the house price was still noisy in the media.

Carrying a large bag of real estate promotional materials, Li Xiaocan sat on the side of the road, rubbing his feet that had been blistered with blood, and there was a strong sense of powerlessness.

Some people in the circle of friends are complaining about what kind of lazy and unwanted Buddhist youth, Li Xiaocan thinks that they have not resold the sales department, as long as they look at the housing price, there is no hypocrisy. The crazy rise in unattainable house prices will definitely dampen the enthusiasm of all newborn calves. No matter how good a city is, there is no place to live, and you can only live in a dirty basement or rental house, and all your dreams and passions are all nonsense. Life, with a cruel slap, can definitely wake up all dreamers at once.

This is already outside the fifth ring road of Wuhan City, which should be regarded as the sixth ring road, and it is almost bordered by the surrounding cities. Except for a few lonely houses, the rest is wasteland. That's it, the house price is still 8,000 per square meter. There are no bus stops, no banks, no convenience stores, no restaurants, the newly built road is empty, only the glamorous sales department stands here, like the magic houses of demons and monsters that suddenly appear in the wilderness in Liaozhai, but this is not a novel, it is the real real world. Real estate has kidnapped the dreams and a lifetime of hard work of three generations of old, middle and young people, but what can we do to recognize the reality? Everyone needs a house to make a sense of security, and if there is no safe residence, how can they be happy?

Li Xiaocan picked up his mobile phone and discussed in the family group, suggesting to buy a house in the county, and the housing price in Wuhan is no longer affordable for the family at present.

So after a busy week of work, Li Xiaocan rushed home again to look at the real estate in the county.

I don't know if I don't know, I was shocked when I saw it, the housing prices in the county that were not in the scope of consideration, a fifth- or sixth-tier city, actually rose to 6,000, and the most marginal near the countryside also rose to 3,005, you must know that the average price here was only 3,000 three years ago.

To make a move or not to make a move, to wait and see or to wait is no longer in the scope of consideration at this juncture. My brother's marriage and my father's illness are more important than anything else.

Considering that her parents are not in good health and need to be taken care of, she took a fancy to a three-bedroom apartment of 135 square meters, with large bay windows facing the sun and good lighting; The house is square, the ventilation is good, everyone is very satisfied, and the location is good, near the new railway station, the access is very convenient. It's only 5,550 square meters, with a down payment plus handling fees, a minimum of 160,000.

Over the years, because only Dad Li was working outside to earn money, Mama Li was at home with three children, and it was not easy to support three children to go to school with one person's income, so they did not have much savings in their lives, and they relied on Dad Li's parents to squeeze and save money from between their teeth, and they saved 150,000 yuan.

Li's mother took out all the money and wanted to pay her son more, but Li Xiaocan and her sister disagreed, and her father was still treating, so what should I do if I didn't have a penny in my hand? Once the medicine is stopped, it is a death! Everyone agreed that Dad should keep 40,000 in his hand, but that's it, it's still 30,000 short. The younger brother has always spent money lavishly, he didn't save a penny, his monthly salary and his little girlfriend were eating, drinking and having fun, and it was impossible for the little girlfriend to take the money out to buy a house, so he had to find a way for the two sisters.

My sister is three years old and is about to go to kindergarten, and the location of the house is too remote to buy a house in the school district, so she is also short of money and can only lend 10,000 yuan.

Li Xiaocan has no choice, she has already overdrawn her credit card, and with her current salary of several thousand yuan, she can barely repay her credit card, and she can't take out the extra money. She had no choice, gritted her teeth and said to Zhang Gang: "Zhang Gang, my brother wants to get married and wants to buy a house, is it okay to borrow 20,000?" ”

Zhang Gang hurriedly asked, "Why did you ask you to pay?" Aren't you the daughter of a married man? What do you do when you go back to your parents' house? When did your mother-in-law help us? How difficult it was for us to buy a house back then! How hard it is to get married! Did they help out? ”

When Li Xiaocan heard this, Zhang Gang was settling accounts again, and the argument was meaningless, so he hung up the phone with a perfunctory sentence.

In order to borrow money, the two fought coldly for three days, and Li Xiaochang was in a hurry for the hole of 20,000 yuan, and her mouth was foaming, she posted a circle of friends to complain: "House, it's not easy to say that I love you, my mouth is foaming, I'm on fire, and my mood is not beautiful." As soon as it was sent, Zhang Gang's call came: "What? Still struggling with money? Brew some chrysanthemum tea and drink. ”

Li Xiaocan felt that this Zhang Gang was playing empty and not doing practical things, and when he remembered his rebuttals, he instantly lost his anger: "You want to take care of me?!" ”

Zhang Gang said: "I don't care who cares about you, who made me blind and married you!" Although there was dissatisfaction in the tone, there was also a bit of joking mutual damage.

Li Xiaocan said: "Don't talk nonsense, a penny can stump a hero!" ”

"Let's take a break, it just so happens that I have 20,000 yuan in my card, if you call me husband, I will transfer it to you." Zhang Gang didn't know where to learn the flowery intestines, and his mouth was full of oily and slippery. Maybe distance produces beauty, Zhang Gang seems to miss Li Xiaocan a little.

"Huh? Are you sure? Husband, where did you get so much money? When Li Xiaocan heard it, the 20,000 yuan she had been thinking about for a long time was in Zhang Gang's card, and she couldn't help but shout excitedly, as if the 20,000 yuan had been lying on her card, and inadvertently "husband", which had been called countless times during the relationship, blurted out like this.

"You little money fan, see the money open! If you don't call me for a few days, you really don't want me for 20,000 yuan! Zhang Gang said with a smile.

"You don't want me, whether I live or die, I'm in a hurry for this money, and you can't save it!" Li Xiaocan complained.

"Okay, okay, I'll call you Alipay." Zhang Gang said.

Li Xiaocan excitedly clicked on Alipay, 20,000, five zeros, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly called her parents, and after the transfer, she remembered and asked Zhang Gang: "Where did you get the money?" Aren't you moonshine? The mortgage is 3000, the car loan is 2000, the milk powder is 2000, the diaper is 1,000, the salary of 8,000 is gone, and your own living expenses, husband, you won't be robbing money, right? Or bought a lottery ticket and won the lottery? ”

"Fool, how is it possible, I got a salary increase, I did a project last month, the company gave me a bonus, and I worked a lot of overtime, and the overtime pay was put together, but this is all my savings, and if you look for me again, I'm really gone."

"Haha, husband, you are really my savior! I can't forget your great kindness! I love you forever, husband! Li Xiaocan hugged his mobile phone and kissed Zhang Gang in the video, like a favored concubine, thanking the emperor for his kindness.

Zhang Gang smiled contentedly, making people feel as if they were back before marriage, full of happiness, and it was a good thing to have money.

The house was finally bought, but the other party's parents temporarily increased the size, to focus on repairing this marriage, they don't want their daughter to marry in a rental house, too cold, the little girlfriend also followed the parents' will and did not resist, it was a distant marriage, and they didn't want to be too aggrieved, they, reluctant to let their daughter suffer, Li Xiaocan understood the woman's parents' thoughts, but the reality is that this decoration is another difficulty, there is no money in the world, things that can't be solved, but there is no money, 135 square meters of house, the minimum decoration is 100,000, and the budget is 130,000, Li Xiaocan was worried, his parents were helpless, so he had to lose a round of good words to relatives and friends, scraped together, and took out the remaining 30,000 yuan, only to make up enough 100,000 yuan, pretend it first, you can only take one step at a time to see one step at a time, you can save more money by paying it back for a month or two, at least the cement is photographed and installed with water and electricity first, so as soon as the house is handed over, she took the key and began to decorate, when Li Xiaocan was anxious about her brother's marriage and her parents' illness, Zhang Yulin was pregnant under everyone's expectations, This news injected a trace of vitality into the war-torn cost, my sister and sister boiled up the vegetables and Tang Yulin for the first time, you have to make up more when you are pregnant, Jiang Yun, is not an uninteresting person alliance, thank you Sister Guo, mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, her face smiled into a flower, oops, our old Zhang family has a queen, and there is mahjong on the mahjong table, repeatedly said to card friends, I can't wait to put the four words of joy and grandson on my forehead, and I can't wait to take a loudspeaker to publicize it all over the street, Zhang Yulin is immersed in the happiness of being a first-time mother, Especially when touching the stomach with his hands, he always feels amazing, Zhao Peng has worked harder, the restaurant has slowly become popular, and the business is gradually improving, in addition to the hot pot restaurant, Zhao Peng is still partnering with others, contracting sand transportation projects, going out early and returning late every day, nowhere to be seen, occasionally going to the smoke, returning home, is holding Zhang Yuling's vague confession, wife, wife, I love you, I'm going to be a father, Zhang Yulin is always half angry and half exposed, don't drink if you are happy, wine hurts your body, towards fat, vague answer, I want to make milk powder money for my child, I want to give the child, the best, every now and then, Zhang Lin feels that as soon as the happiness line comes out, the happiness moment in a woman's life is definitely pregnant, and she is happy, but there are unforeseen circumstances, one day Zhang Yun is at work, saying that when the circle of friends, in a restaurant, the video of the brawl of everyone has attracted his attention, the restaurant seems to be very familiar, he looked back and forth carefully, and found that this is her husband's restaurant, and hurriedly called He Zhaopeng's mobile phone but no one answered, Zhang Yuling was anxious, and hurriedly asked for leave to rush over, only to see that the restaurant was in a mess, The tables and chairs were all poured to the ground, cups, plates, and dishes were smashed to the ground, ceramic crumbs, clerks, and small fish were nowhere to be seen, flower pots fell to the ground, soil and flowers were spilled out, the opening of the counter was hung, and the discount banner was also torn off half of the red silk, scattered and fell to the ground, and Zhang Yuling shouted anxiously, stepping on the crumbs and walked in, only to see the fat man on the ground, with his hands in his hair, his back hunched, like a silent statue, Zhang Lin rushed over, squatted down and saw Zhao Pang's left eye, Wu Qing, who became a panda eye, hugged her fat husband in distress, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt, Zhao Fat, just leaned on Zhang Lin's shoulder, whimpered and cried, it's over, it's over, Zhang Yulin helped Zhao Pang up, poured another cup of hot water, and gave Zhao Pang and Zhao Pang to start, gourd over, a group of gangsters came to eat the overlord meal, the hot pot was finished, that was to say that the cockroaches I found, the dishes I served, how could there be cockroaches in the dishes I washed, and his attitude was quite arrogant, I apologized, I said to compensate them, but they still had to ignore people, they had to shout loudly, begging for an explanation, As soon as the other guests heard this, they all left, these bastards, I finally got a little better, but they smashed the field, while saying Zhao Hai, a circle, and hit the table indignantly
