Linlin was awakened again by the sound of high heels upstairs. When he turned on his cell phone at five o'clock in the morning, Linlin suddenly felt angry, which was a very crazy anger. She suddenly sat up from the bed, put on her clothes, opened the door and rushed up.
Bang bang, Linlin knocked on the upstairs door, the door opened and a delicate and arrogant woman stood at the door. It's Liu Min, the hostess upstairs.
"Why, knocking at the door early in the morning is sick." Liu Min put his hands on his chest and said proudly.
"You are sick, walking around the house in high heels early in the morning, you don't have to sleep, others don't have to sleep? Can you think of others? I have told you several times. " Linlin was more than I could bear, eyes staring at Liu Min, hands flying in the air.
"I'm sorry about that. I'll pay attention next time. There is nothing to knock on the door. " Liu Min said casually.
"You, you, you'd better keep your word." A gas in Linlin's heart, nowhere to vent.
"I'm going to work. Do you still want to talk? " Liu Min got said with a smile.
Linlin looked at Liu Min, didn't speak, and turned away with a smile.
When Linlin came home, her husband woke up, watched her go out and come back, and vaguely asked, "What did you do?"
"I went upstairs to settle accounts. Damn it, if people don't sleep well every day, such people will be punished sooner or later. " Linlin snapped.
"It's not the first time you have dealt with that woman in their house. It doesn't make sense. Let's do it ourselves. Either soundproof the room or sell the house and buy another one. "
"Why should I hide from her? I don't believe I can't cure her. " Linlin is still immersed in his emotions.
"Don't think about it, go to sleep, it's still early." Mr. Wang takes Linlin to lie down.
Linlin is no longer sleepy, lying in bed with wide eyes and thinking quietly.
Linlin knew the family upstairs before they moved in, but she didn't have much contact with the hostess. Before buying a house, they had been renting a house in the community. Their children are about the same age as Linlin's son. Their children were brought up by grandparents, so Linlin knew them.
Linlin was still happy to know that they had bought the house upstairs. During the renovation, she often went to see their renovation progress. They also added WeChat to each other, and sometimes they asked Linlin to take photos or send videos to them.
In Linlin's mind, grandma should be easy to get along with, while grandpa is silent and doesn't know what his temperament is. The host is also good, and the hostess looks arrogant, but she will also say hello. I didn't expect this character to end up.
It's not the first time that woman walks at home in high heels. It's been many times. It's five o'clock on Monday morning. After being woken up for the first time, Linlin sent them a WeChat, which disappeared in a few days. Linlin thought she wouldn't come again, but a new Monday came again. Linlin discovered this law again. That woman should be the one who goes to work early on Monday and needs to wear high heels.

When Linlin turned to leave, Liu Min's husband also stopped Liu Min: "Come on, they are all neighbors. She will show up. It should be really noisy. Wear it next time you go out. "
"Do you think it's noisy? You don't even feel noisy. Why are the people downstairs so sensitive? Don't mind your own business. " Liu Min said and went away, leaving her husband behind.
Liu Min's husband Chen Zhijie is also very helpless. He knew what his wife had done wrong, but there was nothing he could do. He has little place in this family. His wife earns more than he does. His parents-in-law brought up two children and even bought this house, and their parents-in-law also took out 200 thousand.
When her parents-in-law took out the money, Liu Min looked down at Chen Zhijie: "My parents took out all their pensions. What about your parents? Not at all. " Chen Zhijie still remembers the mood at that time. He was upset and angry, but he didn't have the backbone to say loudly that I don't want your parents' money.
Chen Zhijie's parents are farmers to the core. They have worked hard for a year. If there were no floods, they would not earn 10 thousand if they were full. The money is usually used to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, meat and medical care. Usually, Chen Zhijie wants to give his parents some money and secretly save the money for cigarettes because of their financial difficulties.
Once my father was ill in hospital, my brother called to ask if he could pay 10 thousand yuan. Chen Zhijie agreed and hesitated for a few days before opening his mouth, but Liu Min finally gave only 5,000 yuan, and the remaining 5,000 yuan was borrowed from his classmates.
Chen Zhijie thinks the neighbors downstairs are actually very nice. She was very enthusiastic to see the old people and children, and shared the grapefruit in her hometown with them several times. But how to solve this problem, he hasn't thought it over yet. Why don't you talk to your father-in-law's mother-in-law about Liu Min? After thinking about it, she shook her head again. Her mother-in-law is fine and reasonable, but her father-in-law doesn't make any sense at all, even more savage than Liu Min.
My father-in-law likes growing vegetables. They just live on the top floor. My father-in-law picked up a lot of flowerpots upstairs to grow vegetables. After a long time, more and more flowerpots occupied the aisle. Last time, an old woman went to bask in the quilt and almost fell down. She asked her father-in-law if she could put the flowerpot in the tunnel. My father-in-law not only refused to listen, but also scolded people. It happened that grandma's wife was there, and when she heard her father-in-law scold her, she almost started.
The whole building knows about it. When Chen Zijie meets his neighbors in the building, he can feel their contempt, disgust and contempt, which makes people feel ashamed.
Didi, Didi, the alarm clock is ringing. At half past six in the morning, Chen Zhijie sighed helplessly and got up to go to work. Looking back, we will stop in Liu Min before next Monday.
At this time, Linlin's family is also busy. Two people with two children, without the help of the elderly, Linlin and her husband Peng Limin are in a highly busy state from the moment they get up until the children go to bed.
Get up in the morning to make breakfast. After breakfast, the older boys go to school by themselves, and the second needs to be sent to kindergarten. After seeing off the second child, Peng Limin sent Linlin to the company and then went to work. After work in the afternoon, Peng Limin went to the trusteeship class to pick up the boss, and then went to the kindergarten teacher to pick up the second child. Linlin went home to buy food and cook. After dinner, Peng Limin checked the boss's homework. Linlin cleaned the kitchen, bathed the second child, told the second child a story, and then took the second child to sleep. Such time passes quickly, and when they are busy, it is often already ten o'clock.
After ten o'clock, it's time to talk about Linlin and Peng Limin. Linlin usually takes a bath quickly, and then urges Peng Limin to take a bath, because she has to wash clothes at night and hang them up, and she won't forget to wash them the next day.
It is very happy for Linlin to go to bed before eleven o'clock every day. Peng Limin's sleep quality is very good. She sleeps next to a pillow and doesn't wake up when it thunders, but Linlin's sleep quality is poor. A little trouble can wake her up, which is why she is very angry upstairs.
Linlin and Peng Limin met Chen Zhijie when they were out with their second child. He smiled and said nothing. Peng Limin responded with a smile, but Linlin just looked at him and said nothing.
Chen Zhijie realized that Linlin was not satisfied with him. He doesn't want to get into trouble with his neighbors. He said, "Sorry, my wife sometimes doesn't think so much. I'll tell her. Don't worry. "
Peng Limin smiled disapprovingly and waved his hand: "Nothing, nothing, just a small matter."
Glared at Linlin Peng Limin, didn't speak.

Days passed slowly. On Sunday night, before going to bed, Linlin said to Peng Limin, "I don't know if the sound of high heels will ring tomorrow. If there is, I will buy a construction vibrator, so don't sleep. "
Peng Limin patted Linlin on the head: "Go to sleep, don't think so much, I feel that her husband will tell her, and his husband looks good."
"I hope so. You are so good, we are all bullied. "
Chen smiled and said nothing, pulling down.
Chen Zhijie upstairs also fidgeted, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Don't walk around the house in high heels tomorrow, so as not to affect others. Wear it when you go out. "
Lin Min squinted at Chen Zhijie: "What if I don't? What do you want? "
"Are neighbors, looked up and looked down. Besides, their sons are playing together. Don't be so stiff. This is not good. " Chen Zhijie tried to ignore Liu Min's eyes and said it again.
"All right, go to sleep. I will try my best to pay attention. "
On Monday morning, although the sound of high heels didn't ring as scheduled, Linlin woke up at that time. The sound of high heels upstairs was replaced by the sound of walking, the sound of clothes hangers falling to the ground and the sound of slamming doors.
Linlin sighed. Compared with the sound of high heels that make people wake up instantly, these sounds seem a little insignificant. Despite their noise, Linlin told himself not to struggle any more.
After only two weeks of quiet life, the horrible high-heeled shoes sounded again. Linlin just remembered, but her voice stopped. Maybe he thought about coming downstairs later. Linlin forgave Liu Min in his mind.
In the following days, although high-heeled shoes occasionally sounded, Linlin didn't make trouble again within the range that Linlin could tolerate, but he just couldn't warm up with Liu Min any more and didn't say hello when he met.
During the Spring Festival in 2020, the sudden COVID-19 epidemic spread throughout the country. Some people lost their lives, others lost their jobs. Linlin and her husband are both fine, and both have kept their jobs. The only problem is that their children have classes online at home. My brother, who has been in the third grade, has a hard time with his sister.
What surprised Linlin most was that after the epidemic, the sound of high-heeled shoes upstairs didn't seem to ring, and the hanger and the sound of closing the door disappeared together. Linlin said to Peng Limin, "The woman upstairs doesn't seem to wear high heels anymore. Is she unemployed? "
Peng Limin smiled at Linlin: "Don't gloat, people may just have not started."
"Of course I won't gloat when others lose their jobs, but if she really loses her job, I might be a little happy."
Peng Limin smiled and shook his head and didn't pick up the words.

One Saturday morning, Linlin was cleaning at home when she heard someone knocking at the door. When she opened the door, it was Liu Min, the hostess upstairs. Linlin paused, the first reaction is to close the door and ignore it. But reason told Linlin not to close the door.
What can I do for you? Standing at the door, she asked. She didn't mean to greet Liu at home.
"No, I just want to see if you are at home. My father has food upstairs. I want to pick some for you. "
"Oh, no, thank you. I have food at home. " Linlin a little reaction not to come over.
"That's all right, you are busy, and you can eat at any time." Liu Min said, and turned away.
Linlin closed the door slowly, stood for a while, and suddenly ran to Peng Limin like a gust of wind, while Peng Limin was doing something.
"Hey, the women upstairs are crazy, since let me go up and pick out food for them."
"What, what picking vegetables?" Peng Limin was immersed in his own world and didn't reflect it at the moment.
"I said, the woman upstairs just knocked at the door and asked me to pick the vegetables her father planted on the roof. Didn't you hear the knock at the door? "
"No, why do you want to pick vegetables? You bought vegetables. "
"You pig, I mean, that woman, how suddenly changed, nothing, not rape or theft. Do you think she has any intentions? "
"You just like to think, what is worth painting in our family, and we have no money and no right."
"Does she want to apologize and can't open her mouth, but I don't believe it when I kill her. She will apologize. Her eyes are always above her head. "
"Never mind the reason, it's a good thing anyway, don't think about it." Peng Limin eyes staring at the computer, a little absently answer Linlin.
I hope so. Linlin mumbled and went on working.
Although he is working, Linlin's heart is still full of doubts. That woman is really strange. Her enthusiasm is too scary. Linlin shook his head: I don't want to. If I keep thinking about it, I will go crazy.

Linlin's high-heeled shoes finally completely disappeared. During that time, Linlin was in a good mood.
But Linlin seems to have a new problem. The hostess upstairs is too enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm makes people feel drumming. When we meet in the community, we greet Linlin from afar. Sometimes we bring candy. When we see Linlin's second child, we give him candy.
As the saying goes, "I can't see my fingers". Although Linlin doesn't like this sudden enthusiasm, he is not cold, which seems inhuman. After all, people live upstairs and downstairs.
After Linlin's daughter ate Liu Min's candy several times, her mouth began to get sweeter. When she saw Liu Min from a distance, she called out to her aunt, which made Linlin very depressed. The child was bought off by some sweets.
Peng Limin said to Linlin, "Since we can't avoid it, let's get along well. Maybe people have really changed. Besides, do you have a bad opinion of her mother and her husband? "
Linlin is a kind person with a good personality. She has lived in the community for nearly ten years, and most of the old people in the community know her. Usually her aunt and uncle are very loud, and people in the community like her very much. She listened to Peng Limin and began to associate with Liu Min. Sometimes, she will smile and say hello. After a long time, I will talk about the length of my home.
One weekend morning, Liu Min knocked on Linlin's door and said he wanted to visit Linlin's house. Linlin made a pot of tea rather inquisitively. She doesn't understand why Liu Min wants to have tea at her house.
Linlin made tea and sat on the sofa. Two people drinking tea, each have their own worries. After a short silence, Liu Min spoke: "Linlin, I am very dissatisfied with what you said, and my heart is very bitter. After the epidemic, I lost my job. After I lost my job, my family had to repay the loan, my children had to study, and I needed money everywhere. I wanted to find a job in my previous line, but I was probably too old to find it for several months. Later, I had no choice but to find a job in an insurance company. I am now a salesman of an insurance company. It's almost the end of this month, and my performance has not been achieved yet. I am very anxious to think about it. " Liu Min took Linlin's hand and said.
Linlin got goose bumps all over. She wanted to shake off Liu Min's hand. She was keenly aware of Liu Min's intention, but she didn't want to buy insurance. Even if she did, she wouldn't buy it from her, because Liu Min was not a reliable person in her heart.
"Nothing, it will always reach the standard." Linlin quickly comforted Liu Min.
"Performance is in months. If you fail to meet the standards this month, you can only get the minimum wage. My family is under too much pressure. You know my husband doesn't earn much, and I'm in a hurry. "
"That didn't also way, business this thing is hard to say." No matter what Liu Min said, Linlin just comforted her, nothing else.
Liu Min looked at it for so long, but she didn't achieve her expected purpose. She was a little anxious: "Linlin, let me ask you, do you have insurance in your family?" When does your car insurance expire? "
"Insurance, yes, I bought it all. Car insurance won't expire so soon. I have always bought it from my friends. "
"What insurance did you buy? Why don't you let me take a look at it for you? Insurance is full of holes, not professionals. If you buy it indiscriminately, you may end up spending money and not being guaranteed. " Liu Min continued.
"I don't know where my list is. I bought it from my friend. She has been working for more than ten years and is very professional. " Linlin is getting impatient.
"Hello, Linlin? Don't you believe me? I am your friend or neighbor. I don't want you to buy me insurance, but I don't want you to step on the pit either. It doesn't matter if you can't find the list now. When will you find out, I will help you. " Liu Min pursed the lips and took a sip of tea.
Linlin wants to go out, but she doesn't know how to ask. She sat there in silence. Ten minutes later, Liu Min may also feel bored and leave.

From then on, some inappropriate sounds began to ring upstairs at five o'clock in the morning, mainly the sound of footsteps, the movement of tables and chairs and the door closing.
Liu Min lost his former enthusiasm for Linlin. Several times, Linlin's daughter called her aunt, but she just nodded and left with a straight face. Linlin's daughter also asked Linlin, "Mom, what happened to that aunt? It seems unhappy. " Linlin didn't know how to answer the child.
That night, she and Peng Limin talked about this topic: "Who? You also said that she changed sex just to sell insurance. I really admire her thick skin. If I were you, I couldn't do it. "
"Don't buy, don't buy. Ignore her. There is no need to get angry about it. If you don't like it, don't go back and forth in the future. "
"I just don't understand how she did it."
"If you don't understand, don't think about it. How can a simple person like you have other people's means? " Peng Limin smile happily of holding Linlin said.
"Well, as long as she is not too much, I will keep my manners. You know your wife is very generous. " Linlin said cheerfully.
Linlin thought that things had passed, until one day, there were all kinds of sounds of throwing things upstairs, as if someone was fighting. Linlin wanted to go up and have a look, but Peng Limin stopped him: "Don't look at other people's family affairs. This is not good. "
Linlin know Peng Limin said makes sense, gave up the action of onlookers. Surprisingly, two days later, Chen Zhijie took Liu Min and knocked on Linlin's door. With the specialty of their hometown, he kept saying that he was really sorry before and hoped to get along well in the future, which puzzled Linlin.
A few days later, Linlin learned from the proprietress of the community canteen that Liu Min's family smashed things that day because Liu Min scolded her husband, who began to resist. "Don't look at her husband's plane. It is said that this time, all the grievances in his heart came out, and many things were broken, which caused Liu Min's family to ruin. I think he may have to turn over and be the master. " You live downstairs, you must know something.
Linlin didn't answer the wife of shop-owner, bid farewell to the wife of shop-owner and went home. On the way home, Linlin met Chen Zhijie and Liu Min, and Liu Min followed Chen Zhijie, with a plain face, a dish in his left hand and a courier in his right hand, completely without the exquisiteness of the past. Chen Zhijie, as always, was gentle and greeted Linlin with a smile. Linlin pulled her mouth and responded. She suddenly stopped: "you go first, I'll get something."
Liu Min and Chen Zhijie walked away, and Linlin looked at their backs with mixed feelings. If possible, she would like to hear the sound of high heels at five in the morning.
