In the apocalypse of natural disasters, ordinary people can still live wonderfully
Chapter 4 The Gu family’s old house 1
In the summer of 2028, Gu Yiyi was admitted to a key high school in Phoenix as he wished.
In the same year, Gu Mi moved to the Heyuan community where her sister Gu Jia lived, and became neighbors with her sister and brother-in-law.
Heyuan is a new community and the keys will only be handed over in 2024.
The brother-in-law said that the construction quality of this community is good, so the decoration of the house by Gu Mi is not that exaggerated. Only the insulation layer was done and the doors and windows were replaced.
The international situation has worsened this year. In addition to being thankful that he was born in China again and again, Gu Mi's sense of crisis has become even more serious.
Everything that could be moved from the house in the old community was moved. The two houses are about the same size, so many things can be used directly.
Gu Mi didn't move anything that couldn't be dismantled.
The house is listed in the real estate agency and is slowly being sold. It was a house in a school district and the decoration was high-grade. Gu Mi sold the house without any loss or profit.
Gu Yiyi went to high school, Mrs. Ren was over 70, and Gu Mi also entered her forties.
In the past few years, life has been peaceful and smooth, and Gu Mi has already started to arrange his retirement life.
She wanted to build a yard in the village so that she and Mrs. Ren could take care of themselves in their old age.
&
2028, the fifth year of the countdown to the end of the world.
Five years ago, the country committed suicide by discharging nuclear sewage into the sea. Although it later stopped discharging under the pressure of world public opinion, it had been discharged for more than a year, and the damage to the environment had been done.
Gu Mi always felt that the water and food she drank in the city were becoming increasingly unsafe, and she wanted to return to the countryside. Provide for old age and avoid disasters.
Gu Mi wants to build a courtyard house in the village.
She wants to build an old house for the Gu family.
She wants to put down roots in this world.
Since childhood, Gu Mi has never had a house that truly belongs to her.
The courtyard where the Gu family lived when I was a child was the old military courtyard in the village. The entire compound belonged to the troops that had moved away.
The courtyard begins with an entire compound. On both sides of the compound are two rows of houses in the north and south. Each house is occupied by outsiders in the village.
Later, the courtyard was divided into separate small courtyards for each household.
The house has a style that is not found in the village. It is like the layout in the city, with a corridor in the middle and rooms on both sides. It is not like the houses in the village, where three or five houses are connected and there is no functional distinction.
When I was a child, Gu Mi was a little proud, because I could live in such a high-end house.
Later, when I could understand the adults' conversation, I realized that such a unique house did not belong to her.
Although no one will come to ask for rent or ask them to leave, Mrs. Ren said that as long as the army is going to repossess the house, they will have to move out and live on the streets.
Therefore, fans have always been afraid that they will be forcibly driven away in the middle of the night or early in the morning.
The insecurity in Gu Mi's character was deeply rooted from this time.
It was not until many years later that Gu Mi realized that the troops would never return to that small village.
The courtyard in that small village was just a special product of a special period. Its mission had ended from the moment the troops moved away.
It's a pity that this instability is like a thorn and has become deeply rooted.
Just like the thick phlegm that her father spat on the green brick floor that she had swept cleanly, it was so painful.
Like the light rain falling in the house under heavy rain, it is desolate.
Like that place where the mud courtyard wall collapsed and all the doors and windows were exposed to the public, which was a shame and panic.
Ever since he was very young, Gu Mi has wanted to have a house of his own.
It is said that a home is not defined by a house, but for a customer, a real estate certificate with her own name on it, even if it is just a thatched cottage, can give her the motivation to clean it up into the cleanest and warmest thatched cottage.
Later Gu Mi got married.
She thought that when she thought about living a good life wholeheartedly, she would get equal rewards.
She thought that if she regarded her husband's family as her parents, they would treat her as their daughter.
Ignorance will always be educated.
The wedding room is a small loft with a total area of 100 square meters, 40 square meters upstairs and 60 square meters downstairs.
This is the only house owned by my husband's family. It is the top floor of a shantytown in exchange for demolishing the dilapidated yard on the mine.
On a sunny morning, my parents-in-law took me to see the rough house that I had just received the key to.
The stairs to the second floor are too narrow and can only accommodate one person.
But the sun was so bright and warm that day. The sunlight shining through the low attic window covered the cement floor of the bedroom, so happy and warm.
Gu Mi felt that one bedroom was enough for her, not to mention that there was an extra living room upstairs and even a small yard.
She thought this was too good.
So after her mother-in-law said lightly, "You can live in this house from now on, we can rent it with the girl", Gu Mi happily retorted: "No, the house is so big, we can live upstairs, not downstairs" There are exactly two bedrooms, you and your sister can share one each, which is just right for the five of us."
When the mother-in-law heard that Gu Mi was so sensible, she never mentioned renting a house again.
Thinking back on this day many times, Gu Mi wondered if she was hallucinating?
My parents-in-law never mentioned renting a house at all?
Otherwise, why don't they have the attitude of being guests at all, and are full of unquestionable masters?
From the details of the decoration to the words my father-in-law blurted out when the young couple were arguing: "Get out of here, this is my home!"
Then when there was only one bathroom in the whole house, Gu Mi repeatedly proposed to install a latch in the bathroom, but her mother-in-law said confidently: "We are all a family, so why should we install a door to the bathroom? Installing a latch will destroy the wall."
Everything is reminding fans: This is not your home, the four people are a family, and you are a complete outsider.
After giving birth to the child, because the child was a girl, every time the couple quarreled, her ex-husband would yell at Gu Mi: "Get out! Take the child back to your house!"
Later, Gu Mi left.
Go away with the kids.
He left home with no debts in his own name and no alimony.
On the day she got the divorce certificate, Gu Mi invited the few friends she had made in the small town hundreds of kilometers away from her parents' home for 10 years to have a drink and a feast.
Friends all congratulated her: she was finally free!
This is the second time that the home Gu Mi thought was not her home.
After the divorce, Gu Mi took Gu Yiyi back to Longcheng, the capital city of Shanxi Province.
As soon as she left the place she had gone to without hesitation, Gu Mi changed her daughter's surname to hers.
My husband's last name is too stingy.
When I was pregnant, I made it clear that when naming the child, I would add Gu Mi's surname to the child's name.
After the child was born, her ex-husband said, "How can there be such a practice of adding a woman's surname to a child's name?" and he unquestionably rejected the name Gu Mi gave the child.
After the divorce, since the ex-husband is not willing to pay the child support, then let the child take her surname.
Gu Mi doesn't like her life, but she particularly likes her last name. She thinks her last name is very nice and grand!
The Gu brothers and sisters all settled in Longcheng, the capital of Shanxi Province.
The eldest sister Gu Jia took her mother, Mrs. Ren, to her side when her eldest son Youyou was born.
No one has ever returned to the "military courtyard" where the four Gu brothers and sisters once grew up.
After returning to Longcheng, Gu Mi lived with Mrs. Ren and her daughter Gu Yiyi in the house of her brother Gu Yuan.
The house is in the city center, with a large flat floor. There is an elementary school opposite the gate of the community, and a middle school next door to the community. Gu Yuan asked her to live in peace.
Unfortunately, this is still not Gu Mi's home.
It's just right for Mrs. Ren to live in her son's house, but it's unfair to live in her brother's house with her divorced sister.
Customer fans want to buy a house, but it is not that urgent, but they must buy it.
Later, Gu Mi got rich and bought the first house she could afford. But Gu Mi feels that this is still not her ideal home.
The home in her mind is made of blue bricks and red walls, the smoke from the kitchen, and the endless fields that can be seen outside the house.
Gu Mi felt that she was seeking redemption. There was a lonely child in her heart that never grew up.
Gu Mi's depression became more severe in the first year after giving birth.
People who think too much tend to lose sight of hope. It was not until many years after adulthood that Gu Mi realized that the mood she had in her teenage years, where she struggled on the edge of wanting to die every day, was depression.
She thought marriage could save her, but she didn't expect it to get worse.
During the last few years of marriage, which were the most difficult, Gu Mi received three years of psychological counseling.
During the treatment, she watched a baby grow into a girl step by step in her hypnotic state of mind, from a dark scene to one with lights, doors, and the outside world.
But no matter how hard he guided and tried, the counselor could no longer make the 10-year-old Gu Mi in Gu Mi's mind grow up.
Regardless of whether he is dreaming at midnight or suddenly in a daze, fans can always see a young child sitting under the street lamp with his knees in his arms, his face buried in his bent knees.
There was a house on the opposite side of the road, but it was dark. Alone and silent.
A lonely child, but the artistic conception is 100 million points different from what I want.
So Gu Mi wants to give the child in the artistic conception a home.
She needs a home.
