Chapter 45: The Sound of the Doorbell
On the fourth floor of a residential area, there is a family of four, a couple and two daughters, the eldest daughter is 16 years old, the younger daughter is only 4 years old, the mother is cooking in the kitchen, and the father is working overtime in the company, and has not come back, the father has called to inform the mother, let the mother and the children eat first, I am afraid that I will have to wait until nine o'clock to go home.
At 6.20 p.m., the youngest daughter was happily watching TV, hahaha smiled, there was a pleasant goat on the TV, the eldest daughter came to sit down, picked up the remote control and changed the channel, changed to the variety show, the youngest daughter began to grab the remote control, began to cry and said, "Give it back to me!" Give it back!! I want to see the Pleasant Goat!! The eldest daughter was very angry and said: "I said okay to let you see 6.00, it's 6.20, let me take a look, you dominate the TV all day long, what's wrong with me watching it for a while?" ”
The two were arguing when my mother said, "It's time to eat!" Turn off the TV, no one is allowed to watch it, come over to serve food, wash your hands and eat. The eldest daughter and the younger daughter turned off the TV sullenly and went to wash their hands, the younger daughter washed first, and suddenly heard the doorbell ring after washing, so she ran to the gate and said, "Daddy is back!" When she opened the door and found it empty, her sister followed her and said, "Who?" The younger daughter closed the door and shook her head, and the eldest daughter said, "Let's eat." ”
The two walked to the dining table, the eldest daughter helped clean up, and the younger daughter sat and waited, at this time the mother asked, "What did you open the door just now?" The eldest daughter looked up at the younger daughter and motioned for her to do it. The youngest daughter said, "I thought Daddy was back. Mom said, "Dad is busy today and won't come back to eat at night." ”
The three of them sat and ate, they didn't say anything, the younger daughter quickly finished eating, and went to watch TV, the eldest daughter and her mother continued to eat, and after a while, the younger daughter stood up again and ran to the door, ready to reach out and open the door, the mother and the eldest daughter looked at each other, both wondered, and then the eldest daughter got up and walked over, and the mother pulled her throat and asked, "What's wrong with you?" What are you doing when you open the door? The youngest daughter opened the door and said, "Someone rang the doorbell." The eldest daughter said impatiently, "You heard wrong..."The door opened, and there was no one outside.
At 8.20 p.m., at this time, the eldest daughter was watching a TV series with her mother, and the younger daughter sat for a while and heard the doorbell, got up and ran to open the door, the eldest daughter got angry and shouted: "Have you made enough trouble!! The mother was slightly frightened by the shouting, so she looked at the eldest daughter with disgust and said, "Scare me, what are you doing?" Your sister may have heard someone else's doorbell. The eldest daughter said angrily, "Mom!! Don't let her keep going, we don't have a doorbell for the doorman, and we don't have a doorbell for going up and down the stairs, where can we hear the doorbell? She just wants to watch cartoons, so she keeps making trouble here. The little daughter was obviously frightened, one hand on the door lock, the other hand wiping tears, and crying...
The eldest daughter was even more angry when she saw the younger daughter crying, got up and walked over aggressively, stretched out her hand to open the door, and then shouted: "Look!! Do you see it!!! See clearly!! Who is ??? Do you have!!! As he spoke, he closed the door again, opened the battery box buckle at the doorbell with his hand, and said reproachfully in front of his little daughter's eyes: "See!! There is not even a battery in it, how can there be a doorbell!! ”
The youngest daughter cried and said, "It's just that the doorbell is ringing!! There is !! When the mother came to pull away the eldest daughter, and at the same time glared at her with reproachful eyes, and then squatted down and hugged the younger daughter to comfort the younger daughter, the eldest daughter saw her mother protecting the little daughter like this, and became even more angry, ran to the bedroom and closed the door, lay on the bed and hugged the pillow, and cried silently.
About half an hour later, the eldest daughter's mood is much more stable, there is a sound of the door opening, listening to the sound is that his father is back, his father loves himself the most, the eldest daughter wants to come out happily to greet him, but because of the trouble just now he is unwilling to go out, he is entangled in his door was knocked six times, he and the younger daughter live together, although reluctant, but so far, the eldest daughter thought it was her sister, listlessly said: "The door is not locked." As a result, she knocked six more times, and the eldest daughter was angry and repeated what she had just said, and after she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, or six times, the eldest daughter felt annoyed, got up and opened the door angrily and said: "I said that there is no lock, what do you always knock... Door? "There was no one outside the door.
The eldest daughter walked out and found her father sitting on the sofa, and the mother took the younger daughter to wash up, and walked to the sofa and said to her father, "Dad? You just knocked on my door? The father turned his head, looked up at his daughter and said, "No? What happened to you? It doesn't seem to be in a good mood. The eldest daughter raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the bathroom and said, "So Mom...?" Dad said, "No, your mother and your sister didn't knock on the door, and as soon as I came back, your mother took your sister to brush her teeth, and I sat on the sofa by myself." "The eldest daughter felt a little strange and a little scared.
At this time, the youngest daughter just came out of the bathroom after washing, glanced at her sister, and then ran away crying very scared, the eldest daughter was very angry when she saw this scene, and her father asked the eldest daughter with a questioning face. The eldest daughter told her about it, and while she said it, the younger daughter cried and said, "Go away!" Don't stand behind my sister, you go, leave my sister, you go. "No one knows what's going on, only Dad.
That night, the youngest daughter slept with her father, and soon after the family moved, her father took out a loan to buy a new house, and the second-hand house was handed over to the agent.
Later, my father told my mother that this second-hand house was cheaper than other houses when I bought it, 20% cheaper than the same specification, because the landlord was in a hurry to make a move, but did not say the reason, after inquiry, I knew that there were young men and women who rented here, the man often worked night shifts, was a security guard in a nightclub, and the woman was the front desk of other companies, and one day the woman came home, did not take the key, and when she went upstairs, she felt breathless, angina, thinking that she was too tired, and no one responded when she rang the doorbell, Because my boyfriend went out to eat and drink after work at 4 o'clock in the morning, he didn't come home until 9.30 in the morning, and he played a game when he got home, and now is the time to sleep deeply.
The woman pressed three or four times and no one responded, and at this time the pain was even worse, and she couldn't stand anymore, and she couldn't breathe, so she slowly sat on the ground, sat against the wall, and hammered the door six times with her hand, and then died like this, suddenly dying, but the people inside were still sleeping.
After this incident, the house was not easy to rent, so the landlord dealt with it cheaply and sold it, even if he didn't believe in evil, he didn't dare to take risks.
After hearing this, my mother took a deep breath and glanced at my father, saying, "You still say that I love to be cheap." Dad shook his head helplessly, lowered his head and didn't speak, his hands crossed and clasped tightly, and he didn't speak for a long time.
