Shi Xiao looked at the caller ID and couldn't help frowning.

Because this aunt did not treat him well.

Shi Xiao’s adoptive father, Shi Hao, graduated from a technical secondary school after 78. He has an older sister, a younger brother and a younger sister.

Shi Hao's younger brother and Shi Hao are two extremes. He was ignorant and lazy since he was a child, but his brain is still active. Unfortunately, he didn't use it in the right way. He actually did some sneaky things. He is also a smart guy, when he heard that Shi Hao had made some money by opening a restaurant in the city after being laid off, he encouraged her husband to "join" his brother-in-law.

So, when Shi Xiao was five years old, his uncle and aunt came to city A to work.

It was originally said that he had just arrived and had no place to live, and he would move out when he found a job, but after living here, he never moved out again.

They said they came to work, but serious jobs require academic qualifications, and they can’t do them. It’s too tiring for purely physical work. I didn't make any money, so I ate and drank at my brother-in-law's house.Not only that, they saw the business of the small restaurant getting more and more prosperous, so they came up with the idea of ​​a restaurant.

At that time, although the restaurant earned a bit more money than the fixed salary, but Shihao’s hometown had a lot of poor relatives who needed help, and Shixiao was injured twice in three days and was hospitalized, and the younger brother, sister-in-law and three cousins ​​ate and drank for nothing. , Life is tight, and I laugh when I talk about it, and it's time to go to preschool in a blink of an eye. When the time comes, books, tuition and miscellaneous fees will be money everywhere, and I can't help feeling worried.

Seeing them worrying, my aunt got a bad idea.

She didn't know where she heard that so-and-so was laid off and went to work in the south and made a lot of money, so she urged Shi Hao and his wife, who are educated and educated, to try it out.

Shi Hao didn't take it seriously at first, but after a long time, the financial situation was stretched everywhere, and the brother, brother and daughter-in-law kept pushing each other for three days, so she couldn't help being persuaded.

They originally wanted to take their son with them, but they also considered that the child would go to school soon, and it would be inconvenient to study abroad, so the couple left the hotel and their son in the care of their younger brother and sister-in-law, and the couple went to the south together.

That year, Shi Xiao was six years old.

Since then, Shi Xiao has become a "little beggar who lives in someone else's house".

My aunt is very good at pretending to be smiling in front of Shihao, his wife and neighbors, and she treats each other with a smile in private, but she deducts all the living expenses, medical expenses and tuition fees that Shihao sends her son every month .

In addition to keeping a full meal, I don’t buy new clothes, tuition and miscellaneous fees are always delayed until they can’t be delayed, and I am only dragged to the small clinic outside the door for accidental injuries. I almost couldn’t survive several times.

Schoolmates and neighborhood children always bullied him when they saw that he was not loved by his parents.

Although Shi Xiao knew that his uncle and aunt treated him harshly, firstly, his uncle and aunt pretended to be very nice to him in front of outsiders. Even if he told his adoptive parents, the adoptive parents might not believe them. Secondly, he was sensible and knew that his adoptive parents went out to work , Half of it was dragged down by himself, and besides, he was just a son adopted by his parents, and his parents, uncles, and aunts were the real family, so these years, he only reported good news and not bad news, and didn't tell his parents anything.

Until the year I graduated from high school, I traveled away from home.

For four years, he basically never went back except to go back for two days during the holidays.My aunt, just as if she didn't have him, never contacted him once.

Although Shi Xiao is kind and innocent, he is not a fool. He naturally knows that there is probably nothing good for his aunt to contact him in this situation.

But the other party is an elder after all.

So he hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone: "Auntie."

On the other end of the phone came a warm laughter from a woman with an accent: "Hey, Xiaoxiao, how are you doing? Are you in good health? Are you full and warm?"

"I'm fine," Shi Xiao knew his aunt very well, she was the most calculating person, and she would never call him if there was nothing to do, so she asked directly, "Auntie is looking for me ...what's the matter?"

"Haha," the woman said with a smile in an intimate tone, "then I will not talk about two different families... To be honest, things are like this, look, your parents have made a lot of money in the south for so many years, you In recent years, you have been away from home all the year round. Except for the New Year and holidays, you don’t come back to live in the old house. We live in it all year round, so it’s a bit embarrassing. Your uncle and I have also saved a little money over the years. We thought it’s better to just go out Money bought old houses and shops. Your old house is 40 to 20 years old, old and dilapidated, many old neighbors have moved away, and it can’t be sold for a price... But we are a family, who we let suffer You can’t let your family suffer, right? I discussed it with your uncle and decided to take out all my savings, [-], not too much, but it’s still quite a bit higher than the market price.”

Shi Xiao frowned more tightly.

Old houses are indeed worthless, and he knows this.

The old family building built in the factory in the 70s, a small two-story, 90-square-meter red brick and tile house, was only allocated to dual-career families or those who had worked for more than ten years. When the house was reformed in the 1s, Shi Xiao’s parents bought the house. At that time, the cost was less than [-] yuan when converted into years of service.

The house is in the old town. When it was first built, the old town was the city center of city A, surrounded by shops, department stores and movie theaters. However, as 40 years passed, the bustling center of the city quietly shifted, and the old town became more and more popular day after day. The sun and the earth are ruined.

From the end of the 90s until the end of [-], the real estate boom also swept this small northern city, and countless new buildings sprung up, but the developers all set their sights on the rapidly expanding urban suburbs, and the renovation of the old city was due to Problems such as dense households, difficult negotiation, high compensation, etc. have been put on hold time and time again.

In the past two years, most of the able-bodied people have bought houses outside and moved out. Most of the old houses in the old city have been vacant, let alone sold, and even rented out are very difficult.

But...Auntie, who only takes advantage and doesn't suffer, why did she buy this dilapidated house at a high price of 20 yuan?

This unscientific!

Shi Xiao frowned and thought for a while, before he could say anything, he heard his aunt pouring beans out of a bamboo tube and said: "Your parents have made a lot of money in the south these years. I heard from your father that you have been promising in the past two years. He also made a lot of money, and if he makes a lot of money in the future, he will definitely buy a big house when he gets married, but your uncle is different, he doesn’t have the ability to make money to buy a big house, and he will be satisfied with a shelter from the wind and rain for the rest of his life.”

"Smile, you just agree to auntie. With this 20 yuan, plus your savings over the years, it is enough to buy a big house and pay the down payment."

"I'm sorry, Auntie," Shi Xiao didn't know what kind of medicine her auntie sold in her gourd, so she could only evade with a smile, "I can't make the decision about the house, I have to ask my parents for their opinions."

"Your parents have already agreed," the aunt said, "but they said they wanted to ask your opinion, saying that the old house was originally intended for you to marry a wife, and you had to agree to sell it."

Shi Xiao: "..."

He was not good at rejecting others, so when he heard this, he could only reason that he needed to discuss it with his parents, and hung up the phone, but when he called his parents, he was informed that he was on the phone.

Shi Xiao looked down at the phone screen, always feeling that something was wrong... He lowered his head and thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reason.

At this time, Fang Lan called and said that a film crew urgently needed passers-by, A, B, C, D, and would pay 300 yuan for three hours, asking if he would do it.

Of course do!

Although he has already decided to play the third male role in "Little Youth", there is still a long time before he signs the contract and gets paid. He needs to eat, pay rent, and needs money everywhere, so it is easy to meet the king of hell Not here, of course Shi Xiao must hurry up and make more money.

So Shi Xiao quickly ran to the crew, and was guided by the director for a walk all morning with the extras, before finishing work at a little before noon.

After work was over, Shi Xiao squatted on the set, picking up lunch, and at the same time called his father and asked him about selling the house.

Shi Hao was silent for a few seconds: "Didn't you... already agree?"

Shi Xiao: "Huh?"

"Your aunt said that you planned to save money to buy a big house, and agreed to sell the old house to them," Shi Hao said, "At that time, your mother and I couldn't get through to you, and your aunt had already sent the money to me. The card is on, I was really embarrassed to shirk it, so I told her the password of the safe where the real estate certificate and household registration book were released, and I also faxed the power of attorney for the sale and purchase of the house and the copy of the ID card... What, your aunt didn't tell you?"

"Say it," Shi Xiao frowned, "At that time I said I wanted to discuss it with you, but neither you nor your mother's mobile phone could get through... I temporarily took a job with the crew, so..."

Where is such a coincidence that the phone can't get through, it must be that the uncle and aunt deliberately called them at the same time, causing the line to be busy.

But it's just selling an old house, Shi Xiao also plans to buy a new house for his parents when he makes money, even if he has discussed it with his parents, he may not refuse to agree.

He can figure this out, but can someone as monkey-minded as uncle and aunt not understand?

That being the case, why does my aunt need to do so much?

"Forget it," Shi Hao obviously understood that he had fallen for the scheme of his younger brother and daughter-in-law, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to lose, so he said, "If you sell it, you can sell it. Don't think too much about it. Your mother and I I have saved a little money every year, plus your monthly calls, it is almost enough to pay the down payment, and when you have a girlfriend, I will give you a mortgage to buy a new house."

"Dad, I don't want a house, you and Mom should buy yourself some delicious food," Shi said with a smile, "By the way, Dad, I have some good news for you. There are a lot of lines, and the contract will be signed in two days. I can make a lot of money in the future!"

"Really?" Shi Hao was also very happy for him, "Okay! Great! Smile, you are outside alone, you must pay attention to your body, drink plenty of water, and don't get tired."

"Got it, dad, you and mom too."

The father and son chatted a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Shi Xiao didn't know what to think, what was wrong, he searched the news of City A while pawing the rice in his mouth, watching and watching, he couldn't help but stop the action of grilling the rice, his delicate eyebrows were tightly knit together, and his eyes were fixed Living.
