Chapter 52 The most expensive house in the world

In life, there is love outside of marriage.

Two people may not be able to live together for the rest of their lives, but they love each other deeply, and their passionate feelings fill their lives. In a moment of loss, while staring blankly into the distance, a person walks quietly in the dusk of the setting sun, or is caught in the rain.

Walking on the deserted street, I miss each other deeply.

There is a kind of care that is far away and will accompany you throughout your life, tasting sweetness when you recall it.

When love transcends the shackles of morality, the two people who love each other are like the shepherds in Hoh Xil, which makes people heartbroken, but also seems to be crazy.

Love can also be so beautiful.

Have you ever had the experience of knowing which community your home is in, but not knowing which building, which unit, which floor, which door?

Our old man has it.

He found his home under the command of his wife Lin Yan.

But when he walked into the unit door, excitement immediately surged up, and there was a voice in his heart: Finally, he has a home!

Yes, I finally have a home. Fifteen years, exactly fifteen years, I spent the most beautiful years of my youth working hard, and now I have a home of my own in this city made of reinforced concrete. Can you not be excited?

Excitement was accompanied by joy, and my steps trembling when I went upstairs.

From this moment on, I used to envy the buildings owned by others, but now I own them myself.

Everything seemed like a dream, but this dream was real, because I could hear the footsteps going upstairs and the pounding heartbeat. There were tears of joy and pride in my eyes.

The moment I knocked on the door, I was still asking myself, is this my home? From now on, this house will be my own? I couldn't believe it.

The door opened, and his son stood in the door with a smile, looking at him happily.

Yes, this is your own home. From now on, this house belongs to you. The days of renting a house are gone forever.

He picked up his son and kissed his little face again and again excitedly.

Lin Yan sat on the sofa and looked at him with a smile on her face. At this time, he felt the smell of home. Yes, this is home, this is how people live, and all these years of hard work are worth it.

I put my son down and looked around every room with excitement. My son followed behind me like an orderly, introducing and explaining to him with his little mouth from time to time, showing off his and his mother's achievements.

"Son, is the house good?" Lao Tan asked.

"Okay, my mother and I chose it," the son replied.

"Should you sleep with mom or sleep by yourself?"

"Sleep with mommy."

"Sleep with dad today?"

"No, sleep with mom."

Lao Tan smiled happily.

I only stayed at home for one night, and the next day I took a bus back to my hometown in Beipiao with my son.

Lao Tan's fifth sister's home is at the east end of the village, next to her mother-in-law's house, in the east and west courtyard. Now there are six people in this big family, three from the fifth sister's family, plus her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Lao Tan's mother.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law live in an old house in the west courtyard. The two elderly people are in good health and have no problems. My father-in-law used to work in the countryside for mineral processing. After the mineral processing turned yellow, he worked at home. My mother-in-law is an educated youth who went to the countryside. She has not returned to the city and has been working in the rural supply and marketing cooperative.

, now retired at home, tending twenty acres of land with his wife.

The fifth sister teaches in the village primary school, the fifth brother-in-law works in a shale mine in the countryside, and the son is in junior high school.

Lao Tan's mother was born in 1923, and is now seventy-seven years old. She has seen four great grandchildren. The old lady did not enjoy much happiness in the first half of her life. Her husband died early, and she was living in poverty with a bunch of children.

If you fall to the bottom, you will suffer a lot.

Now the children are married, have families, and are living a good life, and the old lady is beginning to enjoy happiness.

In rural areas, sons take care of themselves in old age, and girls without sons take care of them in old age.

The old lady has stayed in the countryside all her life and is used to it. In addition to her age, she is unwilling to go to the city. In her words, she can live ten years in the countryside but only five years in the city. She told Lao Tan,

It’s not that you, as a son, are unfilial, don’t support the elderly, and leave your mother alone. It’s that I’m getting older, and I’m not used to living in the city or living in a building. I want to live a few more years, and I’m not going anywhere.

It's at your fifth sister's house.

The five sisters did not want Lao Tan to take their mother away. There was only one old mother among the six children, her son was in the city, and her five daughters were in the countryside. If Lao Tan took her mother to the city, the five sisters would not be able to visit her.

It's convenient. It's just inconvenient for Lao Tan to stay in the countryside.

The five girls all wanted to support their mother, but in the end the mother chose the old girl.

The eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister have no parents-in-law, but the old lady doesn't want to go there. She feels that staying at the old girl's house is convenient, comfortable, and just like her own home.

The eldest sister said that Mom is getting old, and people become like children when they get old. Children, old and young, have to follow her mood, and she can live with whomever she wants. Nowadays, every family has good conditions, let alone support an old man.

, three or two can support each other. Since my mother is willing to stay at Lao Wu’s house, let’s stay at her place. Let’s visit her twice frequently. If there is something delicious, we can bring it to her to try. If there is nothing delicious, bring money.

.

The five daughters are all very filial. What can I say? A daughter can be a son-in-law, but a son-in-law can’t be a son-in-law. The old lady is a sensible person and treats the five sons-in-law as her own sons. The five sons-in-law also treat the old lady as their own mother.

of.

The old lady was at her daughter's house. During the holidays, the other four daughters and sons-in-law were there, and the whole family got together very lively, as if they were doing something. Sometimes the old lady missed a girl, so she would call and ask that girl's family to drive.

Take me to stay for a few days, and then return to my old daughter's house when you have enough.

People in the village say that the old lady has a good life. She has five daughters. Even if she suffers in the first half of her life, she will start to enjoy happiness in the second half of her life. The old lady also often says that she is blessed, saying that she has five daughters. If she has five boys, it will be over.

All the old bones in his body have been torn apart.

Lao Tan brought his son back to celebrate his mother's birthday. The old lady was very happy, mainly because she met her eldest grandson, and her son was the second one.

The fifth sister's father-in-law and mother-in-law were all there, and the eldest sister also brought her grandson to the fifth sister's house a day early.

After greeting each other, the fifth sister's father-in-law said to his son: "Call your second brother-in-law, we will have dinner soon."

The fifth brother-in-law called the second brother-in-law and conveyed the news that his brother-in-law was home. Their two families were close to each other, Erli. The eldest sister and the fourth sister's home were not far from the fifth sister's home, three miles away. Only the third sister's house was further away.

Twenty miles.

The second brother-in-law likes to drink a lot, and he has a bad temper with the fifth sister's father-in-law. They always drink together. Both families raise sheep, and they herd the sheep together. Today I will eat something different at your house, and tomorrow at my house

I called you when I was making dumplings, and the relationship was very mixed, and I didn't say much.

Relatives are like this. When they move around, they are relatives. When they don't move around, they are just names. The same is true for biological sisters.

Lao Tan came to the kang, put his slippers on the kang and sat down next to his mother.

"Mom, how are you doing this year?" Lao Tan asked.

My mother said, "Okay, there's nothing wrong with me. I can eat and drink."

"That's good."

The eldest sister sitting on the kang said: "Our mother is in great health. She doesn't have anything wrong with her. She is in better shape than us."

The mother said: "It's not good. I spent the whole day eating and sleeping. I didn't do any work, and I actually kept fit." After she finished speaking, she asked her son: "I heard from your fifth sister that you bought a house in the provincial capital? What floor is it on?"

"

Lao Tan replied: "Yes, I bought it, fifth floor."

"Fifth floor? That's high enough. It's inconvenient to get up and down. Why didn't you buy a first floor?" The mother was obviously dissatisfied with the fifth floor.

The eldest sister smiled and said: "The fifth floor is very good. This time your son has bought a house. Don't live in your daughter's house anymore. Go to your son's place."

My mother shook her head and said, "I won't go. I'm getting older and I won't go anywhere. I'm not used to living in that building. How dare we have such a good fire kang in our house? Besides, it's still the fifth floor. I can't even get up there."

The old lady's words made the whole room laugh.

The fifth sister's mother-in-law joked: "As for my in-laws, you have lived in the countryside all your life and you haven't lived enough? Why don't you go and stay with your son for two days?"

The mother waved her hand and said: "No, it's better not to go home anywhere. We elderly people are not used to living in the city. Haven't you noticed that many people are buying houses in the countryside now? The city is not good. If you want to live in the countryside, the air is good and the water is clean."

, you can still look at the stars at night, but in the city there are not even any stars at night.”

"My mother-in-law, you know quite a lot," said the fifth sister's mother-in-law.

"Don't TV news talk about it every day? I've never been to a city, but I've seen it on TV. It's not good. It's crowded with people. The only people are cars. It's so noisy. How can we catch up with the countryside?

, Be quiet, it’s safe without those cars.”

The old lady's words made everyone laugh again.

After a while, Lao Tan's second brother-in-law came on a motorcycle carrying his second sister. Now, among Lao Tan's five sisters, only the second sister's family did not buy a car, and the other four families all bought one. The second sister's two girls, the eldest of whom is ten years old,

I went to work in the provincial capital and worked with Lao Tan. I fell in love with a partner, got married, started a family, and had children. The partner is from the provincial capital, and now the couple owns a supermarket. The second son is studying in a college in the provincial capital.

The two girls are very good, and they plan to take their parents to the provincial capital in a few years, so they didn't buy a car, and Lao Tan's second brother-in-law can't drive either.

Life in rural areas is easy now. As long as you are diligent and not lazy, you can live a good life. When life is good, there are fewer people going out to work, and every family has no shortage of children to earn the little money.

Life is good, living standards have improved, and correspondingly, education levels have also improved. Very few of Lao Tan’s generation went to high school, almost all of them graduated from junior high school, and some only completed elementary school. Nowadays, there are very few who don’t go to high school.

There are not a few who have gone to college or junior college, and some have already gone to study abroad.

During the meal, the whole family sat down at two tables.

In order to celebrate the birthday of the old lady, yesterday the fifth sister’s father-in-law killed a sheep and four chickens on the sixth day of the Pig Year. The fifth sister knew that the old brother was not at home to celebrate the New Year, so she took out all the delicious food and called her younger brother and eldest nephew

Eat it and save yourself from being greedy during the Chinese New Year.

Family love is like this, a sister loves her brother sincerely.

We are often moved by the deep and constant family affection, because we have lived in the most expensive house in the world with our biological sisters, we share the same blood, and we are brothers from the same mother.

In this world, when encountering difficulties or suffering from illness, when survival becomes a problem, the lovers we live with may drift away, but the relatives who share the same blood will not. They will stay by our side and give us life.

Courage and meticulous care.

No matter you are worth millions or are penniless, one day when you are lying on the street with no one paying attention, our parents and relatives will pull us home even if they are pulling a flatbed truck. Our mother will say to us:

"Child, don't be afraid, you have a mother." Relatives will say: "Brother, don't be afraid, my sister is with you."

We are moved by the moments of family affection where blood is thicker than water.

Family love is the warmest emotion in the world.

People who have family love possess the most precious wealth of mankind that cannot be measured by money.
