thirty-one

We've been planning to build a house and open a store these days, and I've always been excited because the more I think about it, the more I think it's a viable path. It is also a good way to earn money and take care of the family. Zhang Xu is more enthusiastic about this matter than me. But all of a sudden, he told me he wasn't going to build a house. It's only been three days since I left home, so why did he change his mind in just three days? Is something wrong?

"Zhang Xu, when I was at home a few days ago, didn't we all discuss it? Why did you suddenly change your mind? What's wrong? Is something wrong? ”

"What could happen? It's me who asked for leave and didn't come down. Zhang Xu said.

"Why didn't you take a leave of absence? Didn't you say that it's okay to build a house and ask for a leave of absence boss? I think too, no matter how busy you are, people can't build houses without letting people build them? ”

"Yes, I thought like you at the beginning, so I thought that the boss would definitely give me a fake. But the plan didn't change quickly. I thought that with this batch of work in my hand, it would not be difficult to ask for leave. But all of a sudden, there was a flood of orders. You also know that I am in charge of quality, and I always take leave to delay the progress of my life. Because of this, the boss didn't give me leave. ”

After hearing Zhang Xu say this, I don't know if what he said is true. So I asked, "When will you finish your work?" After this batch of work, the boss will always give you a fake, right? ”

Zhang Xu probably didn't expect me to ask such a question. After thinking about it, he said, "I don't know when this batch of work will be completed." I didn't ask the boss. ”

"Then ask your boss when you go back to work. See when I can give you leave. He can't keep you off. Don't say it's your job, even if it's an important job, there's no such thing as not asking for leave. "I said in a hurry." Besides, I haven't seen your work, but there's no way you're doing any job by just one person. If that's the case, for example, if this person is a little sick or something, will the factory have to stop? "I actually told Zhang Xu a big truth. I didn't even think that I would be able to say that at that time.

"Wen Li, in fact, we can open a store without building a house." Zhang Xu said.

"Didn't we all say yes? It's more convenient to set up shop in your own home. Besides, we save money too. How nice it would be for us to use the money we used to rent a house to build a house. If you rent a house, the money is spent, but the house is always someone else's. But if we build a house, then the house will always be our own. Zhang Xu, you should calculate this account well. And didn't you listen to Dad? If we work in our own home, we can work until what time of day when we are busy, but if we want to rent a house, we will have to come back at that time. Because we have to go home. ”

"Don't listen to Dad, he's so old, what does he understand? It's just nonsense. Zhang Xu completely denied what he had planned before.

"Zhang Xu, what happened?" Although Zhang Xu didn't say it, looking at his attitude of resolutely not building a house now, I think it is definitely not because the boss does not give leave.

"There's really nothing going on, you're like that, just thinking about anything. What could happen? It was when you weren't at home these two days that I thought about it again. I think it's better to go out and rent a house and open a store. Because our village is too remote. Just count on these people in the village to consume, how much work can they have? If you go out to rent a house, you will spend a little rent, but how much traffic is there in the place facing the street? Isn't it true that the more you live, the more money you make? Do you still have to pay rent if you earn more money? Zhang Xu said.

He's always been a man of all trades. Even if he is asked to say something that does not make sense, he can speak the truth.

Although I also shared my thoughts with Zhang Xu. But now he insists on renting a house and opening a shop. I really don't want to argue with him about it anymore. Because I know that I can't fight for a result now. If Zhang Xu insists on not building a house, then I won't have a move. Because I can't go into these things.

Since we didn't agree on building a house, we were a little uncomfortable. In order not to argue again, I was first silent. Zhang Xu saw that I was silent, and he didn't speak. The atmosphere in the room was a bit oppressive.

For a long time, I first broke the silence: "Zhang Xu, if we rent a house, when will we go to see the house?" ”

Zhang Xu saw that I compromised. So he said, "When I get off work tomorrow, we'll go to town." You can take a look at it tomorrow if you don't have anything to do during the day, and if it's about the same, you tell me that I'll be back in the evening and make a decision. ”

"Okay, that's all there is to it." That was the end of our conversation. Because of this, I am quite unhappy.

Lying on the bed, I suddenly said: "Zhang Xu, if you were an emperor in ancient times, you would also be a faint king." ”

"How?" Zhang Xu asked without being angry.

"The order will change every day." I say.

This matter is over. I don't know what Zhang Xu is in his heart, anyway, my heart is uncomfortable.

By the next day, Zhang Xu still went to work, and I was ready to go to the town to see the house after I cleaned up in the morning. When I got out of the house, I ran to the station.

But we hadn't gone far when we saw a neighbor in our front yard. In the village, we should call the sister-in-law.

This sister-in-law and I have a good relationship. Because she has some work at home, such as long clothes, or where the line is opened, she will come to me. I didn't refuse, and when I was working in the factory, I used the rest time to help her improve. So she still has a good impression of me.

She seems to be going out too. I also went to the station. When she saw me, before I could speak, she greeted me first: "Wen Li, where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to town, where are you going? Sister-in-law. I asked her.

"I'm going to the hospital to get some medicine."

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"High blood pressure, haven't I been taking blood pressure medication? After eating, I'll go open some more. ”

"Wen Li, I haven't seen you in the past few days, where have you been?" My sister-in-law asked me.

Because we all have to go to the station and wait for the train. So just walk and chat.

"I went somewhere else to help people do some work, I went for more than a month, and I just came back." I told my sister-in-law.

"And what are you doing in town?"

"I want to rent a house and open a shop." I'll be honest.

"Wen Li, you're a very good person, and I don't know if I should tell you some things." The sister-in-law looked like she wanted to speak and stopped.

When I heard this, I asked, "Sister-in-law, tell me if you have anything." ”

"I don't know if it's right to tell you, let Zhang Xu know if he will be unhappy."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, no matter what you say, I can forget it, why do I have to tell Zhang Xu?"

When my sister-in-law heard me say this, she was silent for a while, looked at me as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Wen Li, Zhao Yan went to your house the day before yesterday." ”

I was stunned when I heard it. Zhao Yan went to our house? Zhao Yan is Zhang Xu's ex-wife and Lingling's mother. A few days ago, he also went to our house to let Zhang Xu push it out. Why am I not at home and she is here again?

So I asked, "Sister-in-law?" How do you know? What is she doing at our house? ”

"That's what I saw. She was not admitted to the hospital. I quarreled with Zhang Xu outside the gate, and I didn't listen too carefully. It seems to say that Zhang Xu will not be allowed to build a house. ”
