Pinghai originally wanted to buy a house when she saved enough down payment, and then she had her own nest!
There's still a long way to go, Xiu Yuan. After five years of blood and tears, she found that the speed of saving money could never keep up with the speed of price increase, and the distance was getting farther and farther. If we wait any longer, maybe Tianpinghai will still live in this 10 square meter house after being buried. If this old Shikumen house is not demolished, she will always rent it, save money and never earn enough money. She has been using the small toilet on the second floor and a half with five other families and has been angry about paying a few more dollars for water. Maybe in the end, just like the Lao Li family on the second floor, it runs in the family, the grandchild. Bullshit. Speak louder. The floor on the third floor is shaking.
Every time Pinghai passes by the second floor and the third floor, she likes or unconsciously looks at the cabin as big as her home 10 square meter, and looks at the bunk bed and the marching folding bed by the door. Maybe the room is too small. On the second floor, the Lao family never closes the door. Even in winter, everything is piled outside the door. At least Li Nainai's bench has been put in the aisle. And his family has never eaten at the same table, they all eat separately. Every time they serve the table alone, or Lao Li eats in the alley downstairs with a bowl.
Looking at Lao Li, who has nowhere to hide, Pinghai's mentality is much more peaceful. At least, in terms of per capita area, Pinghai is not the person with the lowest share in this city. In the same room, she also occupied 5 square meters! Only through this comparison can people have the belief of living. If you always feel inferior, most people will suffer from depression. For example, Beckham is unhappy because he doesn't live in Buckingham Palace.
Pinghai often says, "It's all your fault." Su Chun is used to this and always smiles and answers: "Well, blame me, blame me."
When Shanghai Ping is still looking for the key in a small place and can't get away, she will shout, "It's all your fault! Why didn't you remind me to put it in my bag last night? " Su Chun didn't realize that it was Pinghai's fault. She always helps find it and says, "It's all my fault! Blame me! " Su Chun can't understand why such a small place always has endless space to hide these little things like a maze. For example, when cleaning the table, I accidentally rubbed it into my shoe socket, or I was crushed by a newspaper and disappeared. Sometimes Su Chun will comfort himself, because the place is small, so things are easy to find. If he changed to a big house of 100 square meter, he wouldn't go to work every day and play hide-and-seek all day.
At this point, Su Chun once played a joke with Heping Hai. Pinghai said seriously: "Absolutely not. When the house is big, it will be orderly and everything will be in place. I'll nail a sundries bag on the wall of the entrance and put my umbrella, keys and letters in it. All the shoes will not be open in the room like this. They should be in the shoe cabinet. Don't put the TV under the table. Every time you watch it, squat down. Put it on the TV cabinet and the computer will have its own room. I want to make a set of Haier kitchenware and buy a set of American Corning tableware ... "Su Chun regretted telling Pinghai about the house every time he came here. She seems to know exactly what kind of house to buy, what orientation, how to decorate it, what color the wall is, and what softness to buy at home, accurate enough to look in the mirror on the porch.
At this time, Pinghai's face is full of a layer of excited red light, and her nose will swell with excitement. You should be careful when she kicks the TV to the ground or accidentally bumps into the wall. Su Chun will pretend to stop her big moves with her hands inadvertently, so as not to wake up suddenly when she is hit, and then she will be even more depressed because of the contrast between the present reality.
When Pinghai talked about the house, almost all the details were designed, but she didn't talk about money. Mainly, this can't be discussed. Speaking of this, all dreams can only be called dreams.
In fact, three years ago, just three years ago, when Pinghai's stomach was just a little bulging, their family almost had a house. If pinghai is more practical.
At that time, housing prices in Shanghai began to rise at the beginning of Xiao He's life. Silent 10 years, the houses in Shanghai are like winter grass that has just awakened, with a little breath of spring. Pinghai has just been pregnant for five months. It was the best time to buy a house.
Every day after work, Ping Kelp walks with Su Chun and looks at the second-hand houses in various districts of Shanghai. At that time, the real estate market, we can call it "the hero died", at least it was a catnap, and almost no new real estate opened. At that time, Pinghai was most familiar with the traffic in Shanghai. In addition to the joy of pregnancy, she was immersed in a city traffic map. Mark the location of the house according to the map every day, then check how many buses go to work and estimate how long it will take on the road; At that time, any passerby casually asked the route of a bus in Pinghai, and she could tell you exactly where to go.
According to this trend, the house can be settled before Pinghai comes into being. Unfortunately, it didn't achieve its goal. People are greedy.
At that time, the young couple had 40 thousand deposits on hand, plus the money of the two families, which was enough to pay the first phase of a small and medium-sized second-hand house. That is near Lancun Road or Zhang Yang Road! Oh, my Tianlancun Road! Zhang! Now, any house in this lot costs more than one million! It hurts!
The real estate agent called to see the house. When I went there, I saw a small room with two bedrooms and one living room, which belonged to the design in the early 1990s. All the doors are open, leading to the living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. So the hall is purely an aisle, and basically no furniture can be put in. At that time, the owner took office and was empty. Pinghai is not very satisfied. Two bedrooms, one facing north and the other facing east. This kind of apartment, the people who come to see the house actually occupy all the small halls, so there are always five couples! Suitable for all ages. Coupled with several real estate agents crowded at the door, the whole house felt extremely depressed.
The flat sea was expressionless, and I secretly "cut" it and thought, "Make a splash! Scary! I thought there would be more people selling it! I don't want this house! Does the child live in the north room? Isn't there still no room for computer TV? This kind of life is far from what I imagined! "
The host began to point to the hostess of each family and asked, "Do you want it? Do you want it? " The first person asked Pinghai. Pinghai obviously shook his head and didn't ask Su Chun's opinion. When asked about the second house, the hostess has made her mind clear. If you ask the estimate carefully, it seems to be 300 thousand. For this house with a room age of more than ten years, the owner has the cheek to ask for 300 thousand! Look at that wall, it's peeling off! Look at that floor, it's still leather! Look at that kitchen hose, it's still naked! This kind of house dares to say 300 thousand. Must be poor and crazy.
Flat sea corners of the mouth can't help but raise a contemptuous smile.
If Pinghai can predict the future momentum, she should cry.
There are many smart people in this world. Pinghai's judgment of the situation should be stupid.
The third couple had no intention of bargaining at all, and planned to pay the advance payment on the spot. The fourth pair and the fifth pair started to increase the price, and one of them said, I'll give you 20 thousand, and that's settled. Don't show it to anyone again.
Flat kelp took Su Chun out.
Never show an idiot the house. Never look at a house with child care. This will interfere with your normal thinking.
At that time, Pinghai thought so.
That is the first house Pinghai saw.
Then, during the period before her son was born, Pinghai looked at several houses in succession, and the house price accelerated. Pinghai found herself trapped in the circle of idiots and childcare before. No matter how bad the house is, the first thing you want to do when you walk in is to give a price, first overwhelm your opponent and buy it.
But Pinghai always fails. On one occasion, at the scene, Pinghai was almost a leader, and no one could give her another 40 thousand on the basis of the landlord's asking price She grinned proudly and finally won. I, Pinghai, also have assets!
In fact, that house is not as good as the first one. Pinghai bid and missed the Dabei Room, a proud story height. At least in terms of usable area, that house is still suitable for living. If I had bought it, the house would have been divided up and down, with four bedrooms and two halls!
One night, Pinghai took out a deposit of 4,000 yuan and bought a second-hand house of 60 square meters. At that time, Pinghai's stomach was like blowing a big balloon, mainly because she couldn't wait.
Who knows, three days later, the landlord called and said, "I'm sorry, I'll return the deposit to you, and I'll make up for your loss of 500 yuan." I can't sell you my house. " Someone has 25 thousand more than you. "
For the sake of the baby in her belly, Pinghai kept breathing deeply to suppress her anger and said, "Don't be angry. Just a broken house, a broken man who doesn't keep his word. When the mother has money, buy a villa for the baby! "
Because of this shock and disappointment, Pinghai's house-hunting career came to an abrupt end at the climax. Just like the dislocation of the conductor's hand rushing to the heights on the stage, just like the sun where the husband and wife are happy and the husband retreats. In short, in reluctance, anger and anxiety, Pinghai entered another sprint stage. The house ran aground temporarily.
Later, Pinghai had a son Huanhuan.
With the arrival of Huanhuan, Pinghai's life suddenly fell into a chaotic daze. Although I welcome it wholeheartedly, I still didn't expect a little boy to waste money like this! Destroyed is a square meter house in Pinghai in the future!
Huanhuan's rations for a month are more than the couple eat. Just eating. He is still pulling! A can of imported milk powder 100, and a pack of diapers 100. Looking at the blueprint of the house falling one square meter on the deposit slip, Pinghai often loathes to give up the heavy diapers filled with garbage bags. All the tickets thrown out here are tickets! She patted her son's fat ass hard: "You charge for going in and out! More embarrassing than China Mobile! "
Because of grandma's arrival, the family is more crowded. Grandma and mom take the baby to bed, and dad lays the floor to sleep. If the baby's mouth is waiting to eat and the baby's mouth is busy pulling, everyone is in a hurry. When the baby is upset, grandma may get confused and put the diaper stained with shit on dad's bed without wrapping it tightly. At home, the baby bottles are piled up so high that the old lady is reluctant to throw away the empty milk powder cans, and the small clothes sponsored by others can no longer be called home. The thought of the small place in Heping Sea, Su Chun, was mixed with the crying of children, the smell of feces, the sweat of adults, and several people really didn't want to go in because of the quarrel of feeding.
Three months after the baby was born, Pinghai announced, "I'm going back to work. I have to earn money. The house is too small and too expensive. Mom, take Huanhuan back to my hometown for me! " When Pinghai said this, she was relieved and refreshed.
I never thought my son would leave. The soul of Pinghai also disappeared.
You are only allowed to make long-distance calls once a week. You can only go home twice a year.
Save money, save money, save money.
This is Pinghai's life goal.
As soon as the child came back, Pinghai made a long-distance trip to her hometown after 9 pm, asking her mother to describe her son's growth in as much detail as possible. Son can recognize people! The son will wave! Son can sit! Son can climb! Pinghai likes the telephone very much. So that when the long-distance telephone bill arrived, Su Chun couldn't help but sigh: "Pinghai, if this continues, you will soon knock us off several square meters!"
Pinghai decided to give up the phone.
But this longing came like a tide, which made Pinghai miserable.
Pinghai decided to buy a camera and a computer for her mother so that she could see her son without travelling long distances.
Su Chun said, "Pinghai, a computer is another square meter. Besides, the old people can't use it, and you have to ask someone for help. It happens every time, and soon everyone gets bored. Maybe it's right there Nobody needs it. And the broadband fee is very expensive, which is one square meter over time. Pinghai, bear it, bear it again. You might as well send the money back to buy milk powder for your son, which is more affordable. When we buy a house, we will pick up the children as soon as we buy a house! "
Pinghai can't even cry. ( 1)
(2)
Pinghai is almost numb.
She decided to accept her fate. When I entered the university, it was 1: 10. When I graduated, I was not assigned. When I entered the unit, I abolished the tenure system, and I didn't share the rent when I got married. The company is in full swing, who cares about your house? Pinghai felt that she was born unlucky, and all the unfairness was blamed on her. Her mother always lamented that she was a victim of the times, Pinghai thought bitterly. Compared with her, her mother's little misfortune is nothing!
This is her life. She will be nearly a thousand kilometers away from her son who was pregnant in October. She will struggle in this seemingly extremely prosperous big city for decades, but for herself, it is gorgeous clothes and flowers in the mirror, but not a tile belongs to her. "There is no place on the cone", she feels like the ancients said, standing at the tip of the cone, trying to balance.
Perhaps, her choice is wrong. If she didn't blindly pursue the big city, but went back to his small town with her husband, or let her husband go back to his hometown with himself, then they should be extremely comfortable today, and it is not so difficult to eat, drink and buy a house in either parent's home. It's just a matter of thought. She must be bound by this city and stay here.
Of course she has something to show off. At least one account in this city is worth 500 thousand. If she can buy and sell in private, she intends to discount the couple's account and fly away with huge sums of money. On the other hand, this part belongs to intangible assets, and it can't be realized when you hear the ear fever.
3,500 a month. For a woman who studies chemical engineering and becomes an ordinary clerk, no matter how she changes jobs, this is the value of her going to bed at two o'clock every night and being admitted to a key university. And this value tends to depreciate. For a woman who is over 30, has no master's degree and has given birth to a child, she is almost teetering on the so-called metropolis white-collar workers who are eyeing so many young people from other places. You still have to work hard for this 3500 yuan. Overtime is common.
Su Chun is better. Su Chun studied shipping, and now he works in a shipyard, engaged in technology. He is always in his early 70 thousand a year Although in this international city, the world's top 500 companies are everywhere, Nanjing Road does not allow national brands to show their faces. This income is not high, but for the sake of stability, Pinghai can't say anything. A family can only have one vagrant, and the other can at least keep his job. This is Pinghai's requirement for life.
So, the two of them, two graduates from famous universities, can buy a square meter house in the suburbs of this metropolis without eating, drinking or spending every month after working for seven or eight years.
But because people want to live and raise children, you have to communicate with people around you, and prices are still rising every day. So even if two people save money, they can only save a house of about 1/3 square meters.
According to this calculation, if Pinghai is not laid off and has been so stable, Su Chun has not changed, and her salary will increase a little every year. If both parents are blessed and their children are blessed and safe, Pinghai and Su Chun can afford a house with a building area of 100 square meter and a usable area of 80 square meters in the next 300 months.
300 months, one year 12 months, that is to say, in the next 25 years, until Pinghai retired, they can finally have a house of their own in this city.
This is a kind of physical uniform linear motion, and it is in an ideal state to eliminate all external forces. No wind, no friction, no air, nothing. This means that money does not depreciate, national education does not charge, medical treatment does not cost money, and the elderly do not need support and accidents do not occur.
This is obviously impossible. Therefore, Pinghai pessimistically believes that it is obviously impossible to have a home in this city.
What am I fighting for?
Pinghai suddenly decided not to wait. Although the house price is still refreshed every day like a triple jump, it climbs to a new high every month, and when there is still too much distance from the first deposit, I resolutely decided to buy a house because of my son's words.
Pinghai went home to see her son. This is the happiest time of Pinghai every year. A few nights before she left, Pinghai was like a ball full of air, walking around the small shop excitedly. Although she was tired after a day's work, she moved food, games, clothes and supplies to the hut side by side.
"I want to see my son! Hey! " Pinghai was very happy with her little clothes in her hand, and her tone was very light. Say it several times a day a month and a half before the National Day holiday, and then kiss the washed new clothes before going to bed and say, "Good night, baby! Mom is coming! "
Su Chun looked very upset. In fact, the child has been away from his mother for two years, and Pinghai misses his son almost like Sister Xianglin. In three sentences, the son is long and the son is short. Look at my son's photo every day when you are free, and change the computer screen saver to my son's photo. But this National Day, Su Chun can't go back to see his son, because he has another burden-his own parents. He can only see his son once a year on May Day. To tell the truth, he has little impression of his son, and all the information is conveyed by Pinghai. In his mind, for a long time, he couldn't think that he was the father of a two-year-old child. The child left no trace in his life.
On the night Pinghai went home, Su Chun sent her to the railway station. On arriving at the square, Su Chun secretly complained. Every year, every time. A sea of people, even many people sleep outside with bedding. Pinghai will suffer again.
Pinghai didn't buy a ticket, so she stood back and walked all the way 12 hours. But it doesn't matter, even if someone's shoes step on Pinghai's head, even if Pinghai's feet are swollen like pig's feet, she doesn't feel bitter or tired at all. The thought of her son makes her refreshed. Pinghai is very experienced. On the day she left, she didn't go into the water to avoid getting into trouble. She goes to the toilet on the train, so many things, so many people, be careful to touch the baby. That's not groceries. It was accumulated by my mother for half a year.
Pinghai rushed back to his mother's house. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted his son's name and put down his bags. He only saw his mother choosing vegetables in the kitchen, but his son was nowhere to be seen. "Huanhuan? You know I'm coming back today, why don't you let the children wait for me at home? "
Mother put down the plate, quickly wiped her hands and handed Pinghai a towel: "Wipe your face, wipe your face! You must be exhausted! There are so many people so crowded every time. Take a break and sit down! Wait a minute! Close your eyes. " Mother poured a glass of water and brought out a basin full of breakfast. "Oh, the steamed stuffed bun is hot and cold twice. I'll heat it up again! "
Pinghai hissed when he took off his socks: "The socks are almost embedded in the meat. Look, my legs are glowing! Swelling like this! Don't be busy eating, I'm starving. Where's the son? You know I came back to see him. I only stayed a few days. I missed a minute. I'm sorry for my ticket. Don't let him wait for me at home. "
"Don't look at the time before you come! Arrive at 7 o'clock in the morning on time, more than 1 1 point! It's so late, can his monkey ass sit still? I was clamoring to go out early in the morning. Grandpa took you out to pick you up several times, but I didn't follow. At the gate of the supermarket at the moment! Must be riding that little electric donkey. Insert a dollar at a time, and your father's salary will be cheated by that electric donkey. "
When Pinghai heard this, she found a pair of big slippers at the door and ran out, but her mother didn't stop her from shouting, "What's your hurry?" I will come back for lunch at noon! You have a rest first! "
When Pinghai saw her son, he was riding a donkey and refused to get off, just like grandma said! Twist your ass into a twist and sing in your mouth: "Tang Priest is riding a horse! Grandpa, yes! Hmm! " He pointed to the stopped donkey and motioned for grandpa to put the money in. "Don't ride, I don't ride, Fan Fan. Go home, mom is coming! " Huanhuan ignored the quarrel at all.
"Huanhuan!" Pinghai's face smiled like a flower. Her arm reached the farthest place, squatted down and cheered her son.
The son looked back, hesitated, and did not move.
Grandpa grabbed him, dragged him down and shouted, "Look! Who's here! Tell mom to call mom! " The son timidly hugged grandpa's leg and hid behind to peek.
Pinghai squatted down, slipped a few steps, held his son in his arms, picked him up and kissed him hard, until his face was almost broken. Huanhuan is flustered, hiding left and flashing right. "Call mom, call mom!" Pinghai works hard with her father. Huanhuan reluctantly shouted, "Mom!"
